Transformers: Animated Two Packs News and Bios

Written by Big Bot on October 13, 2008 | Hasbro,News,Toys | Tags: , ,

Site Sponsor Kapow Toys has posted the profiles for the Transformers Animated 2-packs – Optimus Prime and Blackarachnia and Megatron and Prowl. he has also revealed that the packs will be Wal*Mart exclusives in the USA.

The Revenge of Blackarachnia
Long ago Optimus Prime was forced to abandon Blackarachnia in the caverns beneath the surface of an alien world. There she found herself surrounded by a terrifying horde of bizarre spiders and she was forced to reformat herself based on the strange organism to survive. The experience twisted her and drove her away from the autobots and left her with an undying desire for revenge on the former ally who left her to her fate. She has come to earth in search of Optimus Prime and she will not stop until she has destroyed him and everything he holds dear.

Battle In Space
In Space over a strange alien world Megatron carves his way through the hull of the autobot spaceship with his fusion cannon. Inside Prowl and his fellow autobots wait, knowing there is very little chance of defeating the Decepticon leader in a fight. Prowl knows his only chance is through stealth and skill. When it comes time to meet the mighty Megatron in combat he relies on his holographic projectors and speed to avoid being hit whilst tagging his opponent with every combat technique he knows. Unfortunately even his most powerful attacks bounce off the invincible armour of the Decepticon tyrant.

Rumour: Masterpiece Grimlock and Alternity Megatron due out next year?

Written by Big Bot on | News,Takara,Toys | Tags: ,

Time for some more rumours. Sparkplug of SGCollect has posted some information he has received on the release of Masterpiece MP-08 Grimlock and Alternity Megatron.

Masterpiece Grimlock will be released in March 2009 by TakaraTomy with a price tag of 130,000 Yen. This is a lot more expensive than other Masterpieces, so (if true) expect a large item.  Alternity Megatron will be available in either blue or silver and will transform into the new Nissan Fairlady Z.

Expect retailers to either confirm or deny these rumours in the coming weeks.

Transformers Released on Blu-ray (and again on DVD) in Australia

Written by Big Bot on October 11, 2008 | DVD,News,Paramount,Transformers movie (2007) | Tags: ,

Sorry, forgot to post this on Thursday! Aussie fans now have the chance to watch Michael Bay’s Transformers on Blu-ray, with the release of the Two Disc Special Edition last Thursday. The set is exactly the same as the North American and UK version released last month.

Also out today down under are the Transformers 1 disc editions with the Optimus Prime and Bumblebee masks, but we recommend you give them a miss unless you are a mask collector, or need something for a fancy dress costume.

Derrick J. Wyatt on Animated Universe & G1 Concepts

Derrick J. Wyatt has posted some more interesting comments to do with the Transformers: Animated universe.He discusses how because of Marty Isenberg’s involved with the cartoon, IDW comic and Animated Game coming later this month, it helps expand the Animated universe and make everything more manageable.

His last comment is of particular interest to G1 fans:

There are absolutely TONS of G1 concepts that are practically begging to be in Animated. Maybe some of them will get to.

Soundwave Alt Modes Revealed in Revenge of the Fallen?

TFW2005 are reporting that their inside man (or woman), the “TFW TF2 Insider”, has confirmed the alt modes for Decepticon Soundwave in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Yes, I said Alt modes, meaning you (may) be seeing both his Earth and Cybertronian modes. His Cybertron mode will apparently be a satellite, and his Earth mode will be a pickup truck.

None of this has been confirmed, so take it as rumour until some official confirmation is out.

Film ads to run during Oscars – Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen considerd

Variety are reporting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ board of governors has lifted their ban on movie advertising during the Academy Awards telecast. The ban was originally put in place to prevent fears of vote rigging.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been mentioned as being placed into one of these slots, but this spot isn’t guaranteed, especially since distributers are only allowed one film to advertise, which means Paramount would have to decide between ROTF, Gi Joe or Star Trek.
