I remember that box-former animation. I forget who made it though, it's been so long since I saw it.

My favorites are still the cosplayers will costumes that actually transformed.

Yeah, those guys were cool. Transforming in front of a crowd at a convention. Epic.

Oh, and I'm really not surprised at Jin Saotome's animated toys. Skywarp's better though, but I love how he went for the G1 designs.

Edit: *sigh*, now something's got me wondering about a movie Wheelie. I don't want him in the movie, but I'm just wondering. If he's in, DO NOT MAKE HIM RHYME EVERYTHING HE SAYS. EVER.

But it wasn't an RC Cell phone was it.

Remote controlled cell phone? I'd get one XD

[Makuta's bla...]

But it wasn't an RC Cell phone was it.

No, it wasn't, but what does that prove?

[HOA Murtagh]

That it's unlikely that the RC Truck is actually a transformer. It's made out of plastic.

[Zombie Cow]

And cell phones aren't?

[HOA Murtagh]

...
Good point.
It's still unlikely.

So, anybody think Wreckage should have been in the movie, or in the sequel? (come on, you know you at least want a sequel)

I don't keep up. You guys seen the Tankor prototype?

[Makuta's bla...]

Yeah, I have the Wreckage figure. He's my third favorite, next to Bumblebee and Brawl. In the final battle, he should have fought right next to Brawl/Devastator and died instead of Brawl.

I disagree, I don't like Brawl at all. Although I think no one can dispute that Bumblebee is awesome. His Movie Deluxe version...so cool...

[Dinobot The Maxi...]

He was supposed to be in the bridge scene in place of Bonecrusher, guess that explains why Prime had a sword eh?
DtM

D'oh! Yeah! That makes sense! He would have been great, a swordfighting Decepticon..

[HOA Murtagh]

"According to the Saab History website, the Aero-X concept car could make its debut in Transformers 2 as the alt mode of Wheeljack. Saab is a subsidiary of General Motors whose has supplied most of the automobiles used for the movies. Right now its still the rumor stage, no on set sightings have been seen but its strikes me as a perfect choice for the character."

That was posted on April 1st, take it with a mountain sized grain of salt (where's my taters?).
DtM

Yeah, I was lead to believe that there was going to be a Legend of Zelda movie...

[Wrack'n'Ruin]

That it's unlikely that the RC Truck is actually a transformer. It's made out of plastic.

After that they took a long time setting up and filming the RC car rolling straight towards the nose of the plane and stopping. They then placed a two foot tall cutout of a robot (what the RC car will transform into) in its place and took some shots to get references for the FX team.

[HOA Murtagh]

Actually it's been posted 10th June.

"Transformers 2 was in South Philly's Italian Market to shoot scenes for the movie and Powet.tv has the write up with pics as taken by Philly's Josh Landow.

Filming took place at inside Cappucelli's Meats (a butcher shop) on Kimball Street between 8th and 9th streets. Spotted at the location were Bay, Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, and John Turturro. He did not spot any Transformer vehicles however. What cars on the street where for background of the scene going on inside the shop. Of note is a sign inside the shop that said "Cuppucci & Simmons". I guess the ex-Sector 7 agent couldn't find a better job after the agency was dissolved, but I bet he kept some of their toys."


"Philly.com reports "The Dairy Fields in Fairmount Park today are reserved for filming of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen," "

[Wrack'n'Ruin]

It's taking transformers and carving them up and painting and stuff to get you new transformers.

Lucky. Are the Animated figures good? I heard some reports of loose ball joints and bad paint apps on some animated figures, particularly Grimlock.

[Valenti]

The loose ball joints can be fixed easily with some transparent nail polish.

Lucky. Are the Animated figures good? I heard some reports of loose ball joints and bad paint apps on some animated figures, particularly Grimlock.

My animated cybertron mode prime had loose joints, but the paint was fine say a couple places where the paint bleed

Oh and I got cybertron mode megs and starscream, all they had was voyagers and the other option was bulkhead. I rather wait for the leader class one though

I wonder why wave 2 voyagers are with them in some areas, if their was grimlock I would got him over megatron easily

Lucky. Are the Animated figures good? I heard some reports of loose ball joints and bad paint apps on some animated figures, particularly Grimlock.

My Grimlock and lugnut are fine.They both have pretty tight joints and the paint is great.I guess I have one of the few good figures (if you know what I mean)

YES, I want a transformable Dispensor figure. That would be the BEST THING EVER. BUUUUT due to some legal issues that Hasbro's been having (molds, names, logos, etc), I'd guess they'd remove the Mountain Dew logo, but I don't care! I just want a Dispensor figure!

They did it in the movie! Aaaand, Bumblebee has the word Camaro on him, right on the side of the car.

If there was a $10 Dispensor figure, I would buy it. Oh yeah. But he'd have to have a revolving can launcher. How cool would that be!?!

[-Matoro Mahri-]

I think Dispensor would be a rather large toy since he has a high number of small parts need to transform him so unless he can be made into a small size deluxe robot then I´d guess he might be made as a either voyager or leader class as a part of the toy figures being sold for the next movie.

Currently on my TF toy want list:

*Animated Grimlock (Him, Grimlock INCREDIBLE)

*Animated Wreck-Gar (I DARE to want this guy)

*Animated Blitzwing (Blitzwing is just AWESOME)

*(If they make it) DISPENSOR! (A Mountain Dew robot is just cool)

Burzners, how are Megs and Screamer? Those are some of the ones I want the most.

[Makuta's bla...]

Wow, I really got this Dispensor ball rolling just by one little question.

I guess I'm gonna look for him as a RH.

I'm probably going to wait for Samurai Prowl.

[~Makaru~]

Am I the only one who saw that episode and saw the obvious references to "The More You know" and "Knowing is half the battle!"?

Once I find him, I am so getting Blitzving. A triple changer with a twist. Only Prowl's legs can be more awesome.

Maybe I should get Megatron and Ultra Magnus also once he's released. Megs has my favorite Alt. Mode among the Decepticons. Magnus because he is made of win in every incarnation, but he appears to be a recolored Cybertron Defense Hot Shot.

Wait for Leader Megs, he is most sexy.

In other news, some sad fan tried to harrass MBay at the filming over the robots and got kicked out.

Nothing new then.

That is why I own Leader Megatron. lol Anyway, did anybody get starscream(animated) yet? I want to know if he'll be good or not

Those words can also be found in 5 unlockable extra video tv spots in the PS2 game Transformers(the one that was made for the armada series)

Me no watchie the Animated show..or the other shows, actually. I just like the figures.

Just got Decepticon Payload! He's..interesting. I'd do a whole review, but I'm not sure that this is the right place. I like him, but he could be better quite easily.

Is anyone else ticked that Hasbro never makes Transformers in proportion with one another?

Right, I know it's been this way forever, but I find it annoying. Deluxe Bumblebee can ride on Deluxe Arcee, I believe. And he's the same size as Deluxe Wreckage, who's supposed to be bigger... Ah well.

So would this be the place to release my thoughts on Payload?

[Flame da Hedgeho...]

I never watched Transformers, but I've watched Beast Wars! It was cool, and had a nice blend of action and humor.

Know what, I'm bored. I can always edit my post if it's not allowed.

My local Wal-mart is FULL of Payload figures. Almost nothing BUT Payload figures! And he's not that bad! He has a totally awesome blue color that stands out in light! Sure, he has his flaws..

-Hands stink. Really stink. Leave them folded in or make your own or something, these hands stink.
-Ginormous pole coming out his back. It should have a hinge so it can fold down, but it doesn't.
-Head can't move. I actually like Payload's head. The only problem is, it's way too far back. He needs a groove so his head can slide forward. It can move, but it's restricted 'cause it's so far back.
-Grey AND silver. And they're supposed to be the same, you can tell. All the grey should be changed to silver.
-Bumper falls off. It looks better off, actually, and there's a slot in his back that would fit it SO well, but it has no pegs so it doesn't stay. I put mine there anyway.

But other than that stuff, Payload is a very cool figure! I would buy him, if only in the hopes that Hasbro will notice a boost in sales and make a Premium version with these flaws fixed. And I'm getting sick of seeing the shelves stocked with them..

I wonder if I could find someone to fix my Payload? Cut it up and stuff? Put some pegs for that bumper? It would be easy for a pro..

So that's my take.

EDIT: Holy guacamole! His head popped off! Glue time! Another easily fixed flaw..but now the whole head thing would have to be cut up to make it slide.. Also, the front panel can pop off, glue it back on.

[Dinobot The Maxi...]

Amanya Kitbasher have discussed fixing Payload (getting rid of his giant back mechanism being the major argument), and so far nobody has come up with a decent fix for it. I had high hopes for him, I just wish they didn't have to butcher him with the claw gimmick, he could've been just fine with another spring out cannon like Swindle/Camshaft IMO.

Still, at least my Walmart finally sold them all off...I think my Target actually GOT rid of theirs somehow just to make room for new stock because just last week they were magically replaced by Salvage and company.
DtM

I've been watching the first episodes of Transformers Animated! But I think I missed something! My program guide says 'Home is where the Spark is' is the first episode. Is that right?

I don't know why it says that. The first episode is 'Transform and Roll Out.' It is a three-part episode.

YAY! Last night I finally found Animated toys at my Target. I only got Cybertron Mode Megatron, as there are several other things I would like to buy online (mainly the three Energon 'Maximus' combiners).

[Estuans Toa of S...]

I just got Beast Machines Longhorn! He's the greatest.

[Mandragora]

I just got Beast Machines Longhorn! He's the greatest.

I agree. He is one of my favorite Basic class figures.

[Estuans Toa of S...]

Yeah, but I found him today at the back shelf of my town's Wal-mart.
