ive seen a few of the G2 episodes, and i must say they were tits, even tho i couldnt understand it......

they call optimus Convoy, which i thought was kinda wierd......

[alexchanman]

beast wars was pretty cool in my opinion but nothing compares to the G1 episodes. i wasnt alive when they first ran but i watched all the reruns.

When I collected comics it was the same way. I used to buy 2 prints of the sealed bags so I could read them and still have an unopened one. I'm not to big into collecting things just for the sake of having them...unless it's sports related

Here's a couple good ones. Wish i had the money to spend on'em.

Comic-Con 2006: Transformers Announcement
Optimus Prime voice actor chosen.
by Stax
July 22, 2006 - During Paramount's presentation on Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego, the studio made an official announcement regarding their live-action feature film version of Transformers.



While the announcement, which was preceded by a taped greeting from director Michael Bay, wasn't as momentous as the much expected first look at the giant robots in action, it was almost as eagerely anticipated by the fans.

A vocal "greeting" by Optimus Prime himself announced that voice actor Peter Cullen, who played the character in the popular 1980s cartoon TV series, will voice Optimus Prime in next summer's big budget movie version.

The announcement was met with rousing applause from Comic-Con attendees. The fans have long desired that Cullen reprise the role he'd made famous on TV

It seems like all the character's voices are burned into our brains. I agree, Megatron and Starscream should have the original voices too.

[SochBAT]

Serious!

I was a fan of the BeastWars series, mainly because it wasn't super-kiddy. I ws more like "Hey, badguy! Lets shoot him!"

and i fell in love with the g1 series. I was in awe that my uncle had a datsun z. I was the looking for his arms and head for the longest. I pwned myself.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

i went to watch "pirates...." and after the transformer teaser i forgot what movie i was watching, cuz i only wanted to see the transformers!
my favorite was astrotrain! a TRIPLE CHANGER!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

just the same GO AUTOBOTS!

[ONYX S-13]

BOOO(AUTOBOTS).. DECEPTICONS FTW!!!



SHOCKWAVE= THE MAN ...I mean BOT !

[exitspeed]

Yea that Decepticon pic is way better. The Autobots in the one above look weird for some reason.

I've been trying to find this fan art from this one guy. It's honetly the best Transformer art I've ever seen. I'm gonna keep searching for it and post some up. This dude is fresh!

EDIT: Found it. Check out the link. But this ones cool. A 240sx Coupe...

Regarding the Comic-Con announcement - hardly any news, it had been hinted that the original
cast would be coming back for a while now.
The reason Starscream isn't being voiced by the original voice actor Chris Lattta - Defensor / Reflector / Skullcruncher / Starscream / Wheeljack / Krunk / Sparkplug Witwicky (voice) - is because he's dead.
Don't know why they couldn't get Frank Welker to reprise the Megatron role once again though.
Personally I love Transformers but I'm remaining skeptical - original voice cast is not enough for me, I wan't to see the original vehicles aswell. Michael Bay is a douche.

[ManoNegra]

LOL... yeah, didn't stop Brando in Superman Returns.
Anyone see Clerks 2? I thought the Transformers digs - though directed at me and my brethen - were hilarious.

I know this has nothing to do with the movie but i know some of you guys are transformer geeks... If repost sorry (I didn't do the normal search before hand)

[MadScientist]

Not sure if this is from the 2007 Movie or not, but it looks like it... good leak movie.
http://www.badongo.net/vid/34645

Honestly, I love it simply because it has human interaction, very clean transformation not all Super CG Rubix Cube, and it even throws in a bit of charicter as the robot is a bit disorented from transforming and steps back.

Yeah, Yeah... to bad its a Sentra!!

Enjoy...

Here some info from that broadcast...

Autobots

Optimus Prime - "The king!"

Bumblebee - "He's the same underdog character we always knew and loved." [Note: Except he's a Camaro in the movie.]

Jazz - "He's eager to take on the Decepticons."

Ratchet - "Ratchet, who was an ambulance in the cartoon, will appear in a new form."

Ironhide - "The muscle. A tough soldier who can make any Transformer bust an o-ring just with his stare!"


Decepticons

Megatron - "He's been portrayed as pure evil but we're trying to get a little bit behind the evil in this movie. ... He has a slightly less idealistic version of what he thinks humanity is worth."

Starscream - "Always secretly plotting to dethrone Megatron..."

Brawl - "An extremely pissed off Decepticon."

Bonecrusher - "The closest thing to a Constructicon in the film."

Barricade - "The hunter of the group -- a cop car."

Scorpinok - "Closest thing to Beast Wars or Dinobot in the film."

Frenzy - "A smaller form able to infiltrate spaces -- a stealth spy."

Blackout - "The guy who takes out our ability to fight back."

[ThatGuy]

Now that we have a character list, we need a full vehicle list to go along with it. Preferably with pics.
