I wonder if Bay will be involved in this. Last I heard, he didnt want to direct the second movie because he wanted to move on to something else.

Maybe Spielberg will take over full time. God I hope so.

I'd read that most of the cast got contracted for 3 movies, but Bay is holding out "for negotiations" or some such (reads: more money).

Personally, as awesome as Spielberg is, I want Michael Bay to direct Transformers movies until the day he dies, and then get resurrected so that Zombie Michael Bay can make more Transformers movies until the end of time. If there's any one person on earth who knows how to do loving AMAZING action, it's (zombie) Michael Bay.

okay, i really actually like this drat game. it is not deep, the missions are frantic, but you know what? so were a bunch of GTA missions. i'm used to time constraints, and following cars and poo poo. it's not a five-star, groundbreaking game of the year, but they paid great attention to how the robots should look and feel and it's just fun to dick around in. hectic story missions aren't that big a deal, because the entire rest of the time i can clod around as optimus prime, scale tall buildings, carry around giant hotdogs and giant pails of fries, and if that helicopter starts bothering me i will throw a tank at it.

let me reiterate-


optimus prime will throw a goddamn tank at a helicopter in midair with pinpoint loving accuracy and they will explode in a hail of fire and shrapnel.


not to mention that fighting shockwave within an inch of my goddamn life was off the chain. PLUS the promise of unlocking that g1 model of prime, poo poo. this is well worth 20-30 bucks in my book.

also here is a picture of optimus prime wielding a giant swordfish. cause he loving feels like it.

I don't know if they all run the same specials are what, but the Christmas Tree Shops have Galaxy Force Prime (black version) and Metroplex for $20 each.

Picked up both of those guys today and Leader Prime, and Leader Prime blows them away. If he just had gotten the silver paint treatment like Robovision Prime, he would be perfect

btw, could someone link to some pics of Shockwave from the TF game? I've searched for them with no luck

here are a couple of caps of howitzer and robot modes. helicopter is freaking impossible to catch since once he converts he's halfway across town in about 3 seconds. honestly though, he's a stroke of loving genius. the design might not be quite as modern as the others actually in the movie, but he's everything he should be, PLUS a helicopter. somebody needs a raise for this poo poo.

Chiming in to say I like the game a lot too. The driving isn't as bad as people make it out to be, and is as least as good as GTA with Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and 1974 Bumblebee. However 2008 Bumblebee handles like poo poo and is a bit frustrating. I haven't used anyone else yesterday. 2008 Bee has the loosest steering known to man - you know when you were little and you'd go to the arcades and the arcade operator would have jacked the steering so moving the steering wheel a fraction of an inch would result in a full turn to the right/left? 2008 Bee handles like that.

I also wish you could transform in the air but you can't which sucks. However if you transform at the end of a jump ramp you will transform in the air and fling yourself through the air while being badass.

Also in the first area, the Suburbs, there is a big plaza in the middle with jump ramps. More importantly, the Plaza is named Metroplex

Anyhow whenever Optimus Prime is like "Transform and Roll Out" I'm like gently caress YES OPTIMUS TRANSFORMING AND ROLLING THE gently caress OUT WOO RIGHT ON YES SIR, so I may not be judging it objectively on the gameplay. It does lead to a lot of intense action but it also has this "go here quick, kill two guys, go here quick" style that could get annoying for some.

Thanks to our own ChessPieceFace, the Allspark has news from the Hasbro company tour at Botcon 2007, on location. Here's what he tells us:

Hasbro's plans for the 2008 line are called "Power of the AllSpark." We're unsure if that's a line name or something else.

A lot of unproduced protos that will never see daylight: 6" Titanium Arcee (car), Cosmos (like the sketch from last year), Bumblebee (Cybertronian spaceship), and G1 Shockwave. Does this mean Titanium is dead?

I finally called on my hosed-up Xbox360 (and picked up The Darkness, which I obviously can't play until the 360 is fixed, and got a $10 giftcard at Target with it), so I'll be using my $10 giftcard on Transformers after I get my next paycheck. I'm trying to decide if I should hold out for the "Cybertron Edition" or if I should just get the regular 360 version.

The Cybertron edition comes with a bonus disk with developer interviews and poo poo on it. It also has the first prequel comic book shrunk down to instruction book size with a "exclusive cybertron levels" code.

I can post the code if people would like to try it in their non-cybertron versions. I don't have it with me now but when I get home from work I can post it.

Wait, they're already repainting leader class prime as ultra magnus? Though G1 Ratchet looks cool. Is the Evac repaint Botcon only? Or due out sometime this year commercially? I may just wait and not get Blackout and get Evac if that's true.

That's the "Stealth Attack" Optimus Prime repaint, not Ultra Magnus, but expect a white/blue Optimus Prime in the near future. I think Evac and the Osprey are going to be toys for the '08 line, if I read the previous posts correctly.

Edit: Beaten, but I would like to add that the Osprey looks 10 kinds of badass, despite the lack of hands.

I might have to break down and buy it later this year.



Also it looks like most of the new figures are slated for a September release which is sad but I guess it gives the rest of the line time to sell.

I will be definitely buying this, I think it looks a lot better than previous shots have shown as well. I think my Takara Starscream will be forever in jet mode.

I feel really bad for the dumbasses who bought the Takara version. It was always horribly flawed and I have no idea why anyone would pay actual money for a sea foam-colored Starscream. Those of us with a little patience are going to spend less money for something much better. I'm not right very often, it's feels soooo goooooooooood.
