TFARCHIVE FORUMS

Originally posted by Clogs Oh, yeah. But RiD got there first (or did it?) RID didn't have a spaceplane mode in pretty much the exact same layout or general transformation pattern. The purplish highlights on the toy are a nod to the Galvatron/Energon Megatron heritage, I reckon. Aside from G1 influe...

Alternative mode = homage to RiD, anyone?

Try Energon Megatron..

Ugh.. I don't find it appealing to look at at all.

The artist is relatively good at drawing humans, but his limited grasp of perspective really shows through his TF renditions.
The colouring really saves the day.

Thanks man.

Yeah, a timeline/checklist inside the TPBs would be a wise addition, I reckon.

Some books also have it, when they're part of a larger story.
This way it's far easier for the autism inclined geeks to buy into a story, and keep buying.

Denyer made some good points.

Originally posted by E.J.Su I am not speaking in official capacity, so I don't think everything I say here is accurate to what Simon is planning. I do know that our continuity has nothing to do with Marvel or Dreamwave profiles. I like to think that Transformers have technology to strengthen their ...

Originally posted by snavej So these are not really MY non arguments: they stem from the inconsistencies of the G1 tech specs, which I remember fairly well. Please, blame where blame is due! Ah, but weren't you defending the "fusion cannon" and the ability to "draw upon the power of ...

Well, going in lengths on about Megatron's "fusion cannon" and it's supposed physical capabilities when, a.) TF fiction hasn't been all that consistent over the years, b.) Marvel-verse profiles don't neccesarely apply to IDW-verse TFs. c.) TF never really bothered with physical accuracy. S...

Even Tracks' black light gun couldn't save your non arguments from Denyer's common sense.

Independence Day usually is.

That's why Die Hard probably went for it initially, as well as the obvious theme of the holiday playing a part in that movie.

You sure? I think that's what it was before, and the July date comes from the trailer.

From the official site (scroll to the bottom of the page):

The date in the trailer is out of date.

They said there will be a Evolutions style book, but it won't be put out under the umbrella title (no doubt due to the reaction to HOS). So 60's could still be a go-go.

13 Days/Transformers crossover?

Originally posted by TFVanguard Last that I heard, Paramount has come down AGAINST any sequels and are looking unhappily at the film. Granted, this is scuttlebutt from people low on the pecking order at Paramount. Considering the timing of the movie alone , I can see their worry. I haven't seen the...

Originally posted by TFVanguard You're not seriously going to say that this is geared towards 'adults' now and has a high-level of maturity? The script would disagree with you... It's a popcorn movie, like Jurrasic Park and Independence Day aimed at teenagers and up. Fairly simple plot, heavy on th...

Originally posted by TFVanguard Actually, having digested more bad sci-fi than anyone else here, I would say that 90%+ of it involves things that are 'alien' by virtue of being ~~strange~~ looking just for the sake of it. It's the old alienoid =/= humanoid analogy that's being used.. and effectivel...

100% sure that's Bumblebee.

Everything matches, from the headcrest, antennae, facemask (turned up) to the cannon on his arm.

Interestingly though.. Escalation #1 is sold about 3,000 copies more than Stormbringer #4, which is comparable to Stormbringer #2.

Originally posted by Denyer Can't see it. That'll change when you see him moving on the big screen. ;) And how about the missile launchers? Possibly beneath the seats and or inside the door panels, rolling up into revolver like launchers. They could also reside in the engine compartment, laying fla...

Originally posted by Denyer Anyone care hazard a guess where the arm gun would sprout from? Mass-shifting, anyone? Nope. The gun is compromized of the engineblock and gearbox, that normally reside on his back. The gun simply slides over his hand, attaching itself to his forearm. Much like with the ...
