Transform And Roll Out!

Didn't see a general thread for this topic, so I thought I'd open this one up. I'm just personally amazed how someone twenty years took a couple of toylines from Japan, gave them a different back-story and managed to set off a multimedia experiance that still goes on today. Toys, comics, cartoons and movies; it just never seems to lose any steam in the long run. Everyone seems to have a favorite SOMETHING when it comes to TFs; toy, story, cartoon, or argument (such as Megatron Vs Galvatron or Unicron Vs Death Star). And face it. No matter how bad the upcoming movie looks to the hardcore fans, there's gonna be a little kid bugging his dad to get him a toy of the robot he liked before the credits roll.

    I loved the hell out of that game. It's one of the few games where I actually went back to collect all of the stuff.

    See, you asked the wrong question. Usually an autobot transforms from whatever they are (cars mostly) to a robot so he can fight. I mean what good is a VW bug or a microscope in a fight.

    Grimlock (and other dinobots) transform from a robot to a FUCKING DINOSAUR to fight. So the correct question is, "What use is his robot form?" I would just be a Dino all the time!


    Also, the geek is correct, HE GRIMLOCK KING.

    Had Soundwave as a kid. Man, he kicked ass so hard. Kinda disappointed though that I got Buzzsaw with him instead of Lazerbeak. I was like "Who the hell is this guy? He's not the right bird!".

    Shockwave wasn't exactly in my Top-10 TF list though I loved how he was portrayed in the Dreamwave comics though, trying to kick Megatron out of office as it were since he thought he had the brains and the logic to run things better.

    If memory serves me right, the Dinobots did exactly that during the Rodimus Prime era. Even in the episode where Grimlock becomes super intelligent and creates those new combining Autobots whose group name I can't remember, he still never uses his robot mode. Which strikes me as odd, since a T-Rex's tiny arms seem a hindrance to doing cool stuff with super inteligence, such as programing and building robots.

    No, this guy:

    IMGP2884.JPG

    from this zip file: http://www.digitalnuance.net/Transformers.zip

    (sorry, zip file is 8 megs but don't know where else to get image of helicopter).

    The red one, on the far left.

    You guys are fancy with your forum picture, but look at my zip file... it's not even my file, just some guys - but hopefully one day I get image of it on web so I can post it in forum like you guys. Till then, download the zip file and goto image: IMGP2884.JPG and look at left for red helicopter. I want to be that guy.

    I just got my copy of Transformers: Hearts of Steel in the mail yesterday. Transformers in the industrial revolution. John Henry, the steel drivin man, makes friends with Bumblebee and Mark Twain helps the Autobots stop the Decepticons from taking over the 19th century.

    My only complaint is that the story seemed really rushed and I would have liked to see more, plus there was absolutely no Megatron OR Optimus to be seen. I can get some scans for you when I get back from work today if I have time.

    You actually watched that?

    I saw "Mark Twain helps the Autobots" and realized it was total crap.

    Jesus, you fuckers will watch anything as long as they put a Transformer in it.

    "I saw this great Transformer movie where a guy takes a shit and Optimus Prime was right in the middle of the turd! It was fucking great!"
