Ok, time to jump ship. This is the new Transformers thread
Current Franchises:
Universe:
New versions of your favorite characters, as well as some guys you've never even heard of, a celebration of the 25 year old brand. Going on hiatus starting in May for the movie.
Animated:
The current Transformers cartoon, a blend of previous franchises. Some complain about its animation, but the stories are widely regarded as well done. Rumor is that it'll be canceled this year.
Revenge of the Fallen
Second movie of a planned trilogy. More Robots and Michael Baysplosions than ever. The big bad appears to be The Fallen, a robot perpetually on fire because he betrayed Primus, the creator of all Transformers, and the First 13 Transformers, to serve Unicron, the polar opposite of Primus, a planet eater. Starscream is back, and he's got reinforcements. Soundwave and Ravage also appear, and did you see that huge fucking wheel bot crash through that overpass?
Unfortunately, Linkin Park is working on the soundtrack. NEW TRAILER HERE:

IGN has posted some further information on the Nintendo DS Transformers Revenge of the Fallen video games. They state that downloadable challenge missions, pitting players worldwide against one another will make a return appearance, in addition to head-to-head deathmatch battles. There are also stated to be 25 diverse locations to "drive, fly and fight" your way through. Most interesting of all, though, is the possibility to fully customize your characters -
For the first time, players can customize their own TRANSFORMERS robot with a modular body part system. Throughout the game, players will have the ability to scan objects to unlock new parts and upgrade their character by installing new unlockable parts in the Medical Bay as they progress through the game.
If this doesn't get a release some day, I will be at the very least upset.

The Doctor. I can only imagine he'll talk like Frenzy but I was really thinking and I imagine him speaking with a deep british accent or something. Oh well.

I can't imagine the movie being anything short of terrible, however.
Naturally, the scene was set for a ginormous Clash of the Egos -- and already each man has taken a shot or two at the other one's, um, robots. Whose robots are really bigger? And does it even matter? Well, McG wants to put an end to this once and for all, and in a new interview with Men/Style, the director actually goes there. When asked about Bay, he says, "Michael Bay has a big c*ck. But I'd like to believe mine is bigger. If he's up for it, we can both reveal ourselves on the Spartacus steps at Universal and put the question to rest."
So wait, did McG really just challenge Michael Bay to a d*ck measuring contest? Something tells me such an event would have to be filmed with IMAX cameras in order to pick up the little details, if you know what I mean. The challenge is out there; the rest of the world shall now await Michael Bay's response."

they'd have called it that if The Fallen was created for the movie. However, they changed his origin so badly he might as well be a new character.
It has to be a new character. The 13 are multiversal singularity so their origin is set in stone. The origin set forth by IDW doesn't make sense with what is known about The Fallen.
You could argue the Allspark created its own 13 to serve it but that implies the Allspark is sentient. If that's true means its an idiot given the events of the first movie.
thats a big plus one
as long as the basics are there (optimus is a red/ blue semi truck, bumblebee is yellow, starscream is a fighter et, megatron is egomaniacal, and the giant robots fight each other and transform into cool things) I'm happy
Get 'er while it's hot!
Also Cartoon Network's video service has a five-minute preview of Decepticon Air. Sentinel Prime is the dickiest.

Putting Furmanisms to one side.
He has a narrative approach to writing dialogue for his transformers, making them all sound very long winded and samey (the only Transformer he writes better than anyone else is Shockwave, Maximum dino's #5 is a good example of this, and that's because the character suits his writing style).
It makes for boring repeated reading because yeah, although his stories are a good epic read the characters within them are defined by their actions rather than the individual way they respond or react to something happening based on their own distinct personalities.
He's written ALOT of Transformers, he did create a very deep and rich universe in this IDW continuity, and he definately deserves credit for that. But, fact is I personally prefer the direction McCarthy's taking the story now and the way he's fleshing out criminally underused characters for the first time ever (I mean holy shit, Thundercracker and Skywarp have personalities?! This is unprecedented!. And he's not disregarding everything that came before either (a reference is made to Sixshot within the story for example, amongst other references) it's just he's telling his own story right now, I suspect CODA will do a good job of further tying up any loose ends...and yeah, the ongoing after that's being written by someone other than Furman and McCarthy, hopefully it'll be McDonough and Patyk.
