Yea the MPs and the Omega Supreme look great. I'm not sure what to do with Omega Supreme cuz I love that character and I really want a figure and I go could one (if not more than one) of three ways: I can get the encore for $180, the 3rd party for $300 or whatever it was or the new generations figure which would be the cheapest but the ugliest version

I have the Planet X Omega Supreme preordered throu BBTS for now, but this is a new toy from a new company. It could end up being a floppy piece of 3rd party shit. Or it could be amazing like Mastermind Creations' Shockwave. Just don't know until we hopefully get advance reviews.

Check out the Tranaformers Gamgnam style parody video at tfw2005.com. Hysterical.



And here are the boys enjoying the music video:

If Star Wars was not enough news for theme parks now the Transformers is officially announced. Exciting times to us who live down by the parks.

This isn't exactly unexpected. They did open the ride up in Hollywood I want to say earlier this year, maybe end of last.

So I never got to watch TF G1 as a kid, I just never really came across it and I didn own any of the toys. I bought season one DVDs around he time the 1st bay former movie came out and enjoyed that, but I never got around to buying the rest of the DVDs cuz I didn't feel like paying for them but I started watching the rest on Netflix and I just finished watching all I through season 4 along with the movie thanks to the Hub. Now I thought season 2 was really good and the movie was pretty good but I thought season 3 was weak. I probably felt this wqy mostly because they changed up the characters so much. I thought Galvatron wasn't as cool as Megatron, and I thought the voice acting sucked for the most part and the animation got a lil weird sometimes. The thin wight Quintasons was weird too mainly due to their design and in some episodes they had a different look. Now season 4 was only 3 episodes but it wasnt too bad cuz Prime was back and you got to see fort max but that was a totol commercial for new toys. So what do u guys think?

@StraightEdgeHe-Man - I agree with you.

The animation and voice acting in season 3 and 4 was just no good to me, but I didn't want to miss out on any of the stories. Season three also seemed darker not just in what was going on but the show itself didn't seem as in bright color and that may just be because of the settings, not sure. I never liked how characters were turned into new ones, I wanted continuity between the toy line and the cartoon. I have rewatched season 1-4 twice now in the last six or so months with my son and I never realized as a young teen then how f-ing insane Galavtron was in that show. Season four and the introduction of the target and head master toys are what drove me out.

[StraightEdgeHe-Man]

Yea I def wanted to get all the stories I could. The setting was def darker and tone was a lil more darker in season 3. Yes, Glavatron was always crazed. His head got messed up in the lava pool or whatever it was when they found him early on after the movie and you see the sparks coming from his head and stuff. I thought they were gonna tell more story about this or solve this somehow and except for one episode where cyclonis tried to get him help, nothing more was done about it. In the rest of the episodes he was crazy to the point where he just did dumb shit all the time

[StraightEdgeHe-Man]

This may or may not be news to you guys and no ones really arguing the point but As I'm watching dark of the moon for the 2nd time since theaters I'm seeing some stuff taken from the G1 cartoon like the space bridge, matrix of leadership inside Optimus (although that was introduced in the 2nd movie), sentinel prime looks like alpha trion, Leonard nemoy voiced sentinel prime and he did Galvatron in the animated movie, the NASA ship taking the autobots away from earth and the decepticons destroying it or trying to destroy it was a g1 plot, laser beak and shockwave were good at representing their G1 characters. Plus there were the the wreckers which was from the comics but I'm not sure why they didnt use any of the same characters from that comic

More Than Meets the Eye #11...wow. Page 4 made me laugh out loud and the last page I did not see coming at all.

So I hadn't picked up a Transformer since Fall of Cybertron Jazz, and today I picked up Thundertron...He was like 28.00 after tax! I hadn't realized how much the price has been jacked up on these guys!

[starjoesryan]

[Jogunwarrior]

He's a little bigger than the basic carded figures and he came in a box. I'm guessing he's in the same Classification as Ultra Magnus, which they didn't have but I would love to get. They may be Voyager figs or something...I'm not too familiar with how they classify Transformers these days since I'm just a casual collector.

Regardless he is cool looking. I'm a sucker for Transformers whose alternate mode is an animal
