Transformers

Recommended Posts

So, knowing that there are a few other Transformers fans here, I suggest that we can talk about them here. Toys, comics, the movie, whatever.

I read Infiltration recently. Nice! The new designs are great, especially Ratchet/Ironhide. The legs kind of remind me of an interim stage between classic box-legs and new movie-legs. I think I may have to try and find it in my bookshop (I borrowed it from the library), and I'm waiting with baited breath for Escalation and Devastation.

Have you heard about the Transformers/Avengers crossover. Wow! I'm gonna have to read that.

The movie's really gearing up as well. It looks so good. The movie designs look great, especially Ratchet. Yes, Ratchet is one of my favourite characters, besides Shockwave.

is this related to lego?

i would like lego transformers to minifig scale, that are best on the old cartoons, or there is a movie that is coming out in june or july that lego might make transformers for, THERE IS HOPE!!!!

or there is a simpsons movie coming out that lego could make sets for.

p.s. my favorite characters from the old cartoons are unicron, starscream and bumblebee.

Honestly, I was hoping for that to happen for years.

But I don't think that'll happen, because chances are good that we'd already know if they had bought the license. They missed a great opportunity for that, concerning that "Simpsons" is a very well known franchise which works for a kids audience as well as for a grown up one.

Plus, the yellow minifig heads seem to be destinated to become Simpsons characters' heads. I can only dream about all the great sets and buildings they could create with that licence...

:'-) :'-) :'-)

I'm currently reading Escalation. This has been a very good series, much better than I expected. The way the stories weave between the titles is just amazing. Roll on Megatron Origins!

Yeah i have to agree with you, i love the way the storys are being weaved together. The way the spotlight issues have been done to interact with various parts of Escalation, Infiltration and Stormbreaker have been amazing. I have to say all these titles hold some of the finest TF stories ive read in a long time.

I liked Dreamwaves take on the TF world but the storys were just to gung ho and far fetched even in a world of giant robots X-D , IDW have reall y picked the ball up and run with it.

Now i just hope the next batch of spotlights and Megs Origin are as good.

As for lego TF's well if that was gonna happen it would of done by now.

Pity it hasn't though. The spotlight look pretty good too, and I'll probably try to find the TPB when it comes out. Especially since Shockwave's there.

I think I might also look for the IDW reissue War Within series. I'd like to get a look at the designs if nothing else. Although I would like to read the stories as well.

isn't this a LEGO website, not a transformers website.

You've made that point twice now, but this is in culture and multimedia... :-|

I am now well out of touch with all things transformers. I only have one transformer left from my childhood collection of over 100 and that is power master double dealer, who now apparently is quite rare as he is complete and in good condition. :-)

what does that mean?

It means this section of the board covers books, tv, music, etc. Not Lego-related at all. If you look through other topics in this section, you will see.

I actually have very few, prefering the mythology to anything else. That said, however, I have an ALt. Smokescreen stood on my shelf along with a few of the Cybertron Legends (Evac, Jetfire and Thundercracker). Stood on my desk is Legends Sunstorm. *wub* I do have a few more, but they aren't on display.

Flippin' 'eck! You do know you can talk about things other than lego here- they go in the community and culture and multimedia sections of the site. ;-)

I have afew toys, mainly the car ones that turn into robots and have guns- very fun playing with them although i have to say, i am not really a collecter.

Not really that excited about the movie that is coming out- polly won't see it- but it's good for other transformer fans.
