The Transformers - Fresh fo' 2k7, SUCKAS!

Mirai Gen · 01-02-2007, 05:01 PM

I figured since Beast Wars was the name of the last thread, and Beast Machines was the worst thing to happen to Transformers since the Pretenders, plus the 07 movie now seems that much closer, AND it really is '07, the thread title is appropriate.

Anyway, news on Transformers: Movie Optimus Prime on Ebay. He actually looks pretty slick.

YouTube japanese trailer for Transformers '07. Better shots of Bumblebee, and a nice energon cube.

EDIT: Huh. I'm not seeing the energon cube that Seibertron mentioned.

Seibertron? I've heard they're not very reliable, at all. I usually check out http://www.tfw2005.com/ myself, but usually I find my info at the Allspark forums that I've started hanging out at.

And note that isn't the main Optimus Prime, something like a Legends of Cybertron treatment.

Like this Megatron

Or Barricade

And the last thread was Best Wars, BEST WARS! Can 't you read!

Really, BM wasn't THAT bad.

Energon, however, really was.

BM's 1st season was actually somewhat decent, but the 2nd was fairly dreadful. I forget, but somebody other than Bob Skir (Beast Machines' story editor) wrote the plot outline for Season 1. Season 2 was all Bob Skir, and without any direction Season 2 seems to do nothing more than drag out the conclusion of Season 1.

That's just my opinion on the matter. Well I can't say I was found of any of the Maximal forms, but the Vehicons were pure love. (I even like the toy Scavenger.)

As for Armada/Energon/Cybertron, I'm blissfully ignorant. There may have been good points to those shows, but what I saw, I didn't like.

Agreed. And about "Best wars"...that was a slip of the keyboard.

It's one of those things, sort of like not capitalizing the 't' when you're talking about electrical transformers.

Anyway, I liked the CG of Beast Machines - it was purely awesome, and Thrust is still one of my favorites from that series. But the idea of basically retconning all of the Transformers by saying that Cybertron was, at one point, organic really grinds my gears.

I'm just glad that TF fans ignore it.

EDIT: Okay, I'm like, going out on a complete limb here, but I'm guessing Fifthfiend changed the title?

Mmmmmmmmmmm... could be!

I liked Beast wars... because I was, like, 6 at the time. Now it's not as good, especially the first few episodes. "Yo! Shift your scanners to east, fellas! This party's got big-time crashas!"

I never liked Beast Machines... and all the new TF shows are just massive cash-ins, both on the Anime craze and the Transforming-stuff-is-so-badass craze.

I hope the movie's good, and I hope they keep the drama to a minimum. TF isn't about "Oh no, our poor goat had been hurt by a stray bullet!" It's about TRANSFORMING-F***ING-ROBOTS! They blow each other up! They don't make war on humanity, and they shouldn't scare people! They should make people wet themselves in awe, but they shouldn't create a last-moments-together romantic scene! AUGH!

Rant over.

Oh come on. Beast Wars is still the series that got me back into the Transformers! Some of the writing Furman and DiTillo got into was outstanding, especially with Rattrap's smart-assed comments and Silverbolt and Blackarachnia's relationship. Their dialogue still inspires stuff that I write to this day.

Ryanderman · 01-05-2007, 01:10 AM

I gotta agree completely. If you've grown out of Beast Wars, you've grown too much.

Mirai Gen · 01-05-2007, 04:06 PM

Hell, I'm re-starting my old Transformers collection.

If you're too old for toys, you're missing the point entirely.
