Ironhide looks pretty good. I've passed on most of the Prime vehicles, but this looks like a buy for me.

I thought that the bayformers had some interesting concepts to them. Not the overall look by any means, which sucked, but the build in weapons were especially cool. I thought the idea of Optimus's slide away battle mask was also pretty good. Unfortunately thanks to the movie, we're seeing the R2-D2/radio talk bumblebee in other media now, such as Transformers Prime. I mean I understand why they did it in the first movie, so Bee couldn't just explain everything away before Optimus got there, but they fixed it at the end of the movie, and then the speech problem was back in the sequels.

Anyways, Transformers Prime seems to be a somewhat happy medium between the Bayformer movies and G1.

I loved the concept of the weapons being built in. I was totally fine with Bumblebee being made into a Camaro. I was fine, like you said, with the voice thing for Bumblebee in the first movie, but he really should have had a voice again in the second movie. He's a scout. He's supposed to be able to convey information. How can he do that if he can't talk?

I like TF Prime. It's good. It's getting better.

The relaunch of the Transformers comics is amazing. Far exceeded my expectations. That's all I wanted to say.

Beast Wars is now on Netflix streaming. Now is your chance Ryan to show everyone how great this series is. Chuck now is your chance to show everyone how lame this show is.

*Does Happy Dance" So glad they brought it back to Netflix. They took it off right before I joined. Now they just need to bring back season 2 & 3.
