TFARCHIVE FORUMS

Me: I won first prize in a hesitant Transformers journalist cutlery competition!
Person 2: Er... win spoon?
Me: No, it was Joy Meadows.

Right, so 3rd party groups are making live-action movie figures now. Lockdown AOE Prime Dino ... I mean, how? Are they magic? I've seen the video reviews of that Lockdown, and the Transformation looks ingenious - virtually zero kible, with 99% of the car parts hidden. Even his back is clean, with a...

Bit of a storm brewing around the latest DWM... add together the first letter of every sentence in “The Watcher’s” column and it reads PANINI AND BBC WORKDWIDE ARE C**TS (censored in case Ralph Burns is reading). https://i.imgur.com/j2xFjEf.jpg DWM have asked fans to keep this quiet, because this co...

Dunno if any of you guys have already heard about this, but a bunch of TF fans under the collective name of Ocular Max are doing a kickstarter campaign for a cool-looking set of books: Basically it's a photographic archive of all the G1 toys (including variants, European and Japanese exclusives) in ...

Further to the above, people might be interested in hearing that a 'new' Stan Bush album, "Change the World" is being released next month. Of course, it contains yet more versions of Dare, The Touch and Never Surrender.

I just realised that Hachette's website allows you to just buy random issues, so I've decided to only get those books which have newly-colourised UK b/w stuff and the Dreamwave stuff, (Dreamwave having completely passed me by first time around, and as far as I'm aware some of it has never been repri...

If you liked the previous TF films then this one is more of the same. Well-made (it looks and sounds lovely) and full of action, but ultimately pretty dumb and one-note. What I would say is that the stakes are a little higher this time (it certainly feels a little more epic than previous installment...

There's some confusion there. Cast members like Anneke Wills keep saying more are happening (and in the case of one guest star from Evil of the Daleks, that's he's been filming motion references!), but the folk who'd work on making the special features/restoring the soundtracks keep seeming legitim...

Just found this thread. Good work! Couple of corrections... "The Gift" should be set after "Decepticon Graffiti", because the former is a Christmas story and the latter is set during the summer holidays (the cheque that Donny writes in the coda scene is dated to October). "A...

Yeah, would've been all over the Mayhems if they'd seen a retail release. Do you normally display in alt-modes? Am I going to get hit if I express an interest in seeing them all in robot modes? I don't usually display them at all! They're usually stored away in vehicle mode in containers under the ...

Having just received the last batch of TFCC figures, I am now the proud owner of a complete set of all Combiner Wars / Unite Warriors moulds. Given the relative scarcity of Flash Sentry, I don't think there are too many people on the planet who can boast the same. Anyway, so I made a video. Forgive ...

So, you've given up already then? I can't blame you Ryan F, though I'm still liking the idea of the series enough to carry on. Oh, the idea of it is great, and I do so love a nice partwork (I also subscribe to the Hachette Doctor Who making-of series and the Doctor Who figurine collection), but for...

I decided in the end to cancel - this series just isn't for me, I think. I have 80% of this stuff already, and War Within didn't exactly sell the Dreamwave era to me. The behind-the-scenes stuff is mostly puff pieces, the reproduction isn't great (it's Skids, not Skips, dammit!!!), stories are out o...

How many of those that he did post-becoming aware of the following The Movie has developed (say, after 2000) don't include at least a small desperate attempt to ride on its coattails? Err... very few! IIRC there was a concerted effort by 3H (the then-organisers of Botcon) to do some CDs of movie mu...

Randy Bishop. Christ though, imagine wishing for Stan Bush levels of success. Actually, there's a massive AOR 'scene' at the moment, a hankering for eighties-style melodic rock of the type that appeared in the movie. There are magazines that cater to this fanbase (Classic Rock AOR, Fireworks), and ...

The Savage Streets soundtrack album is ace - it also contains an instrumental version of "Nothing's Gonna Stand in Our Way", which is also way cool. The only way to get it on CD is either as an uber-rare German promo, or as a Russian bootleg (which my copy is). Still cost me forty quid, th...

To be honest I wasn't really expecting G2 to show up here (nor the Beast Wars or Energon stuff, for that matter). If I were IDW, and I had the rights to the G2 issues, I'd want to release a G2 trade myself first, rather than let it have its debut in the partwork. Any release by Hachette would steal ...

I'm also subscribing to this, mostly due to the fact that I like the idea of a fully-coloured Earthforce (and also Raiders of the Last Ark), plus I've never read any of the Dreamwave stuff so I'm looking forward to seeing what that was all about. Some behind-the-scenes insight into the, erm, strange...

Interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

Not earth-shatteringly enlightening, it's mostly just him droning on about 'mythology' like he's Chris Carter or something.

Oh, and

Huh, yeah, I suppose these must be trial issues, then. No sign of issue 3, no free gift, and the paperwork inside the box contains an invoice for £0.00. Weird I'm only getting these now, ages after everyone else and so close to the actual release date. Also, very surprised these arrived in a box, co...
