Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Robots in Disguise (Transformers 4! Coming June 29th 2014)
On top of two very awesome ongoing comics, in the post-Bay movie world we have Transformers Prime on the Hub
It's awesome and you should all be watching it (when season 2 starts Feb 18th)
They also have toys:
The First Editions which are cancelled everywhere and going for big monies,
and the mainline which isnt as good,
but in Japan will be coming with Minicon weapons
Also due out this year is Fall of Cybertron, the squal game to War for Cybertron. This one will have Grimlock, and combiners
And toys with a confirmed Jazz, Shockwave, and Prime for the first wave
Buy Transformers, read Transformers, watch Transformers, play Transformers.
I ususally don't enjoy the cartoony/anime style Transformer toys but that Transformers Prime knock out looks really good. I like all the shows designs come to think of it.
Well, the one exception is Optimus with a mouth. That never looks good.
like
I could be wrong
but that looks to be two deluxe-sized combaticons
and an image of a toy bruticus
if a WFC2 bruticus made of five fully independent deluxe-class combaticons is a thing then I don't even
Prime First Edition and the related RiD Prime molds being worse, the RtS figures only being available at discount outlets which turned out not to be that big of a deal but still, I guess the last DotM waves not being released yet but they're going to be in RiD anyway I think. Feels like there was something else but I can't think of it.
Amazon recently sold the set of all three movies on blu-ray for $30. I felt I would be losing money if I didn't pick them up. Long story short, I watched all three movies back to back.
It's easy to point out all the stuff those movies do poorly, so I'll point out three things I think they did very well.
1) The transformations are always cool. That may sound silly and obvious, but the way the bots transform is consistently entertaining, and for a movie that's pretty much about that, it's done well.
2) Michael Bay is still a big proponent of practical effects. They generally blend very well with the CG effects and adds a visceral element to the action.
3) The humans don't have prequelitus. They react to the bots believably, reacting to movements both subtle and overt. I completely buy that those CG characters are there in that world. No shots of Ewan McGregor staring into the middle distant while lightsabers are whirling around a centimeter from his nose.
So that's my thoroughly entertaining movie story.
I haven't watched any of Transformers Prime. Is it good? Available on DVD or Netflix?

Anyway, yay new Bruticus!
And why are you jailed? Are you a Decepticon sympathizer?
Vehicons, Decepticon shock troopers. But I think I got the name wrong ...
but then I realized it'll cost a ton to get all the figures and I don't have the space anyway and I got sad
I guess I'll content myself with swindle, who looks rad as hell

there are supposed to be eight foc toys in the line, right?
if five of them are the combaticons, that only leaves three, which I guess would mostly be autobots to balance things out
unless they're only doing a few combaticons and then making bruticus a higher class figure instead of a combiner
I don't know what I'm even talking about
the other three are Optimus, Jazz, and Shockwave
also, I have just obtained something veryyyyyyyyyyyy interesting, yessssssss
goddamit
there must be something to stop me from desperately wanting to buy six of these things
and then I kind of didn't love the series after it left ancient earth
WFC
GRIMLOCK!?
Fuck everything
godamned decepticons getting all the fucking toys
but still
foc combiner
