  1. Well while its not in use it folds back. When he wants to use itit folds forward and covers his right arm. Ok... After echo's claim that his gun comes off his leader prime, i played withmine a bit, and after someinspection, it does come off with alittle force. Though once its off, there no place to secure it to him when he's in truck mode. BUt he now has rooom for a trailer, whitch i'm thinking of making.
  2. Great idea! How sweet would this be as an Octan tanker??? X-D A better pic... I would love if lego stated releasing semi's. Box trailers, low beds with wide load equipment, doubles and rigs with large sleepers.
  3. Thegun can't be seperated. It folds back when not in use. It looks like to me, that they didn't transform him properly. You'll also notivce in the same pic that the front farrings that cover the treads aren't folded forwards either.
  4. Saw transformers on July 4th. Best movie of the year by far! Highly recomend it! Lots of action, very true to the original G1 series in many aspects, very funny, but yet still remains a serious movie. CGI is to notch. Animation of the bots to vechile, and vis-versa is incredible. Can't wait to go back and see it again. There were a couple things that could have been better (what movie is perfect?) but over all i thought micheal bay did a great job. Many die hard Transfomers fans were judging the movie before evening seeing it. Saying micheal bay ruined there childhood and such. 95% of them have now turned a 180 and are giving there apoligizes to micheal bay as they loved it. I know i've been talking about this movie to death all over the forums, but this is probbly the only movie in the last 3 years that has lived up to all the hype, and exceed my expectations. This isn't an acadamey award winning film, but it wasn't made to be. Its was made to entertain, and boy it does!
  5. They do in the the States. They generaly don't fill up in regualar gas stations, but they will fit just fine. The full tractor trailer semi's ussually need to fill up in truck stops or stations spesifically designed for them. I really wish lego would come out with a truck stop. Complete with gas station, truck wash, parking for the trucks,and a little cafe'/ restrant Now that would be sweet! *y*
  6. That was great! I love the music in it! I'd love to be able to down load it into my Ipod. My girlfriend just picked up Leader Class Optimus prime for my birthday! He's great! I love the fact that he has rubber tires too. My only gripe isthat in Peterbuilt mode his gun sticks out the back. Can't really hide it. Wohh....Just saw this... http://tformers.com/transformers_database/...ons_Leader.html Leader class Brawl! Sweet! Now wejust need a Leader class Bumble Bee in 09 Camaro , and Barricade! Heck, all the TF should be avaible in leader class!
  7. Thats right! I'll have to figure somthing out when i get mine. I've built a few 8 wide trucks that will need to be fueled up before there long trecks!
  8. Checked out Cibertron.com tosee how some of the die hard, and G1 fan base likes the movie. It looked like 95% of them turned a 180, and thought it was awsome.
  9. Your exactly right. It was humours. Just cause of that dosen't mean that it wasn't taken seriously. You need comedy in a movie like this. Was it over done? In my opinion no. Why? cause it all worked toeghter quite well. From both the bots, and the humans. Then why is Desanto trying to take credit for writing a story he didn't like in the first place? To be honest, if think if the die hard fans did this movie the way they originaly wanted, it really would have sucked. It would have been a sctrectched 2 hour long live action movie of the first episode. Yay. :-/
  10. I get what your saying about old cartoon battles. I do remember GIjoe trucks/planes/tanks being destoyed shot down, and ever time a parachute was deployed. :-P No one ever got hurt. My point wasn't to excuse anyhting sucky cause 80's cartoons did. What i was getting at is that since you were tearing apart the 80's cartoon for its misperfections, i know understand why you didn't like the movie. It gets to a point were you just need to acept it for what it is. A cartoon. As for the movie you also need to to accept it for what it is. A movie based on a childrens cartoon and toys. As soon as you accept that, then maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to enjoy the movie (and others like it). By your cridisism, you seem to think that this should have been an made into an academy award winning film. But it wasn't. It was made to entertain. It did just that. Did it break the mold? In some cases yes (CGI) but in others no. I don't beilve this was the best acting ive seen. But it wasn't bad either. You stilldidn't answer my question. How was the movie not serious?
  11. LOL! Wow. I guess this explains why you weren't happy with the movie. IF your upset with the realisim of an 80's cartoon, then iguess there's just no pleasing you. To each his own. How is it you don't feel the movie wasn't serious? Cause of all the humor? (it was loaded with it X-D ) I felt all the decepticons were reconizable. Though frenzy was more so than others. Though i agree with Ultra prime that more personality was needed forthe decepticons. Though they were very intimadating and evil on screen. Maybe thats allthe personality Bay wanted them to have.
  12. Too many to lis treally. But the 3 Blade movies are good, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, 300 the Pirates movies and Just saw Transformers. The best movie this year so far! So i guess its my favorite right now.
  13. Wow really? This happens quite frequently if the movie was good. And there were such halarious parts of the movie, you just can't help but laugh out loud! :-D Exactly. Most movie critics very rarely give movies like this good reviews. If its not the next "Citizen Cane" then they don't care for it. I think many are taking this way to serious. Its a movie about a childrens cartoon and toys. Except it for what it is. ....And again, it was great. X-D You won't be disapointed Brainbox. Its well worth the wait till the end of the month.
  14. Worst blockbuster of the year? Um no. Attually the opisite. Look on fandango, its getting nothing but great reviews from the people who acttually watched it. I stongly urge you to see it for yourself and not let some dumb mmovie cridic make up your mind. Just got back from seeing the movie. ..... *y* *y* *y* *y* *y* This was without a doubt the best movie i've seen this year. X-D I had i high hopes going into seeing this, and it easily lived up to all the hype. Was it a grammy award winning film,or an adadamey award winner? Probbly not. But if it was, it would have really sucked. Nothing but laughs and chears thoughout the hole thing. Lots of clapping after the movie. I beilve that this is everything the movie should have been. Lots of action, great CGI, and lots of comedy in between :-P . I will agree that i felt that there could have been more shots of the bots, and some could have used more time, but in all it was great. All the human time i felt was nessasary to add to the storyline. All the bots looked great on the big screen!! I agree with Ultraprime. I loved this movie, and defently plan on seeing it again. :-) :-) Can't please them all. But to be fair, i think you preety much made up your mind about the movie before you saw it. :-| I'll admit that alot was seen that that were in the trailers, and the mulitply clips and HBO speacails. This is why didn't lok at every show that cameon tv aboutthe movie, and limited what i saw to the TV comercails, and two main trailers. Was the movie perfect? Was it perfect? No. If i wanted to i could nit pick little stuff, but it would be just that. Little stuff. I could do that with every movie iv'e seen this year. Iwas disapointed that they didn't use the classic "transformers transforing soujnd" as often as they should, but eh.. Whatcha gona do? :-) Baricade and blackout were my favorite deceptioncons, with Bumble bee and Ironhide,and rachet being my fav. Autobots. (Man, that Camaro concept looked so bad megablocks! Couldn't have made a better choice for Bumble Bee. And considering i build Emergency vechicles for a living, Baricade, and Ratchet were just kick megablocks! Again, great flick, i highly recomend it. Don't let the "critics" turn you away :-P J/K JINZONIGEN 73 *wub* . Friends ok? :-) )
  15. Well, ionly a few hours till the movie! Can't wait! Just bought Deluxe Bonecrusher, voyager Ironhide, and Blackout. Just opened up Bonecrusher, and about to open up Ironhide, and Blackout! I like bonecrusher. Preety easy to transform. Much easier than Barracade. Can't wait for the movie!!
  16. Up, had the same problem about a month ago. Went to upload some photos and none of them were sticking to the folders They were all like i never did anything. Just wait a day, and try reloading again. Thats what i had to do.
  17. Yes, but thats part of the movie experiance. You win some, you loose some. I myself will be going with a larger group made up of family and friends. Even if the movie doesn't live up to the hype, i'm confedent we'll still have fun! Audio is seldemly messed up in the theater i go too. Attually, to be honest, i can't remember the last time it was. Ya,you do get that ocasional flicker, but can you honestly tell me that you've never had a glitchin you screen from an illeagally pirated downloaded movie? :-| I liked the X-men movies. Ghost rider not so much. Also, just cause a movie follows its orginal content doesn't mean sucess, or that it will be good. What looked good in a cartoon, or comic book, might not work on the big screen. Look at the batman movies. The first 2 were big sucses's but didn't follow the original comic,or tv series much. Then the 3rd,and 4th came out. Those followed the look, and feel of the orinal story, and comic book, as well as being pracically a modern day tv series. All that was missing were the "BLAMS!!" and SPLATS!@$!!" when Batman and Robin kicked people. Those were absolutly horrible! Though i must admit, that Doom was probbly the biggest disapointment EVER!!! :-X >:-( >:-( That is were i can defently relate to how you feel about this film. Being a huge DOOM fan since the first DOOM on the PC, i was disgusted by this movie....... But i at least gave it a chance. ;-) I disagree. I think that movie standards get harder and harder every year. And that what movie makers have to take into concideration when making a movie like this. One of the biggest things people have been taking about this movie has been the CGI and speacail effects. You just can't make a movie about robots that transform and not be on the cutting edge of the CGI. Of course this movie was made to make money! Thats the goal of every movie made. Espeacailly one of this magnatude. No movie is made with the directors not wanting people to like it, or for it to make money. You think that the Bay and Spielsburg went into this thinking "hey, how can we make a movie that won't make any money and just piss off everyone?" They have to make a movie that will make them/the actor/producers, film company and such money and also somthing that they feel everyone will enjoy. If not, no one will call them back for the next movie. Could they still have made money if bumble bee was a VW bug instead of a 09 Camaro, Optimus prime not have flames, Starscream been less "ape" like with his purple, silver and blue colors with the robots being more blocky? Posibly. But i doubt it would have been as good. (personally, i think its preety cool that there using the 09 Camaro concept. Thats my favorite thing about movie bumble bee! *wub* ) I'm not saying that you can't make a sucsesfull movie by sticking to the original story. But in some cases alittle evolution is needed. But again, we'll just have to wait and see.
  18. I know what you mean. I Have 300, TMNT, and Spiderman 3. (though i did not download it, there were given to me X-D ). There good, but not DVD good. And anyways, seeing somthing like SM3, and 300 is enjoyed much more at the movies than at home. And what you think is a good film might be differnt than what others consider good. Now see, i just don't get why you would want to ruin a movie for yourself by reading the script before hand. Don't you want to be alittle surprised? I mean i understand wanting to know the plot and all, but to me i just don't see how you can enjoy a movie after knowing everything thats going to happen. Wheather or not you like what you've read or not. This goes for any movie, and not just Transformers. Also, please don't take this the wrong way, but don't you think your taking this a bit to serious? I mean from your reactions to what you've seen so far,and what you'd like to see, it sounds like you were expecting an academy award winning film, but when it comes down to it, this is a movie based a a childs cartoon. I know you are a big Transformers fan, but a film like this is meant to be fun. Every movie is going to have chliche's at one point or another. LOL.I used to be like you. And to an extent, i am. I used to nit pick all the screw ups and "phony" speacail effects. IS it possible for a bus to explode when ripped in half? Considering i've never seen a transformer rip though a bus, i can't answer that. But i have seen cars (in person) hit walls at over 100mph ,and those did explode. Not to the extent of the bus, but is possible. Anyways, i found by doing this it takes away fromthe movie a bit. I understand that you (andnearly everyone) wants a movie to be as real as possible, but they aslo want a bit of excitment as well. I think the movie will be morethan adequate. Won'tknow intill i see it,but from what i've seen in previews and clips (i haven't seen allof them cause i don't want to spoil to much of the movie for myself) it looks like it will enjoyable. Still trying not to get to high hopes, but its kinda hard now. :-$
  19. This was a great set! Always wanted one, but never got it. Makesme want to go look on bricklink for one.
  20. my advice/tips... Buy what you want, when you want, when you can. If you want that 100 dollar set, then go for it. I very rarley see sets go on sale. And if they do, its ussually not enough to warrant the extra wait.
  21. Didn't see any pics of the concept camaro.I would think for sure that would have made the premeir.
  22. Very nice! I really like your "Kit" replica. Why do the wheels have to be 3 studs?
  23. Ya i saw the one with blackout transforming as well. There's a couple with starscream too. I think there the same scene. I'm guessing the huge transformer that squashes one of the robots on top of a builing is megatron. Thats all i scene of him, and once were optimus hangs on as megatron flies over him.
  24. Did he make the original transformation noise? I know Optimus does (as heard in the second trailer) Man i love that sound!! X-D )) I guess i was to taken in the transformation itself! :'-) Also, i just saw one were optimus and Jazz drifted and optimus and bonecrusher fell off a freeway overpass!! Sweet! X-D X-D Yup, that why i won't do it again. I really would have enjoyed the movie alot more had i just went and seen it instead of passing full judgment. But i went in there already knowing the full plot, and a couple spoilers.
