Now for something different and completely unexpected. Hasbro have set up a new site with a movie promoting the Transformers movie Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet.
The film features a kid named Sam being Optimus Prime for the day by using the voice changer helmet. The film can be via the YouTube link or on the actual site at www.transformersviral.co.uk.
Hasbro have officially released details on Wave 2 Real Gear for 2008 with photos of each. The 3 characters, Farsight T-20, Midnighter XR-4 and Twitcher F451, are all due out in early 2008.
FARSIGHT T-20
FARSIGHT T-20 is a scientist and analyst who is used to examining both sides of any problem with which he is presented. His keen intelligence and highly logical mind can break down any issue to its most important few points and reach a conclusion within a few moments. He joined the AUTOBOTS not because of an ethical compulsion, but because his analysis put them squarely in the right. Many DECEPTICON strategists have tried to out think FARSIGHT T-20, but all have failed.MIDNIGHTER XR-4
Paranoid and frantic, MIDNIGHTER XR-4 is terrified of being late or missing a scheduled deadline. The problem is that, because he’s so preoccupied worrying about it, he never actually manages to be on time for anything. When he sets a bomb to go off, you can bet it will detonate fifteen minutes late. If he’s planning an attack at dawn, chances are nothing will happen until after breakfast. Other DECEPTICONS hate working with him, because no mission goes off well with him in charge.TWITCHER F451
TWITCHER F451 is a psychological profiler, specializing in anything that makes the AUTOBOTS uncomfortable, angry, or afraid. With only a few minutes of observation, he can draw highly specific conclusions about almost any target’s greatest mental weaknesses, and come up with a way to exploit them. He takes a great deal of pleasure in making other robots uncomfortable, so even other DECEPTICONS tend to avoid him.
Today sees the release of Titan’s Transformers UK #6 in all good newsagents. The UK exclusive comic focuses on Jazz this month and brings to an end the prequel stories featuring movie characters.
The cover art and a page preview can be found in our earlier post.
Paramount Home Entertainment have today released Transformers on DVD and HD DVD in Sweden. There is the normal 1 disc set and the Steelbook 2 disc set, but without the comic. There is also the HD DVD set with all the same extras as other regions.
All DVDs are region 2 PAL formatted and the HD DVD version is region free.
Simon has been busy recently, but has managed to complete the script for Titan’s Transformers #8, which will be focused on Scorponok. The story for the issue will take place after the events in the movie.
Issue #8 is written by Simon Furman (obviously) with art from Staz Johnson, who work for Marvel UK on some Transformers stuff, with the cover by Gary Erskine. The issue is expected out in late January/early February.
There is also a teaser for issue #9, which Simon describes as “epic”.
Definitely on the better late than never scale, here’s my post-script discourse on Transformers (UK) #8 (or at least the original strip bit of it). Another ’squeezed into a bit of dead space in the movie’ story, this one concerns the fate of Scorponok, last seen burrowing underground in an almightly hurry after the aerial barrage in Qatar.

Transformers director Michael Bay earlier this year blasted at Paramount and Dreamworks decision to go HD DVD exclusive, meaning Transformers would not be released on the more popular Blu-ray format. He has again today made mention of the next generation format war, with reference to Microsoft, blaming them for continuing the fight in a hope that both formats are ignored completely and digital downloads become the way to go. This isn’t exactly Transformers related but it is interesting to see what Bay really thinks :
What you don’t understand is corporate politics. Microsoft wants both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads. That is the dirty secret no one is talking about. That is why Microsoft is handing out $100 million dollar checks to studios just embrace the HD DVD and not the leading, and superior Blu Ray. They want confusion in the market until they perfect the digital downloads. Time will tell and you will see the truth.
Bay
Time for Michael Bay to try and have some fun. blackamericaweb.com have had a chat with Jazz voice actor Darius McCrary. In the article, it is mentioned that:
Last summer, McCrary starred as Autobot Jazz in the 4th of July blockbuster “Transformers” and is currently in talks to return for the sequel.
However, there is no quote from McCrary saying this and given the fact that Jazz died in the first film, it seems unlikely that he will be back. Add this to Michael Bay previously saying that he would put fake information out there, we’re putting this under false.
Paramount Home Entertainment have finally released Transformers on DVD and HD DVD in the UK today in a range of different packages.
On DVD, there are the regular packages as well as some store exclusives. The 1 disc and 2 disc editions can be bought at all good DVD stores. Play.com have the Steelbook exclusive 2 disc set with the Target comic, HMV have the Optimus Prime transforming 2 disc set packaging and Asda have the 1 disc set with the Wal-Mart animated prequel.
There is also the HD DVD set with all the same special features as other regions.
All DVDs are region 2 PAL formatted and are rated 12 by the BBFC. The HD DVD set is region free and again rated 12.
With the success of the Transformers movie toyline, Hasbro thought it would be best to milk it for all its worth, and why not. This means there will be more repaints early next year and some of these have now appeared on Asian auction site taobao.com.
There are 2 new times, both repaints of Real Gear Robots Longview and Meantime. The new robots, Farsight T-20 and Midnighter XR-4, are shown on the site in their packaging, sporting new colour schemes.
As predicted, Asda will be carrying an exclusive edition of Transformers on DVD. As we mentioned earlier, the DVD is out on Monday in many editions. This edition is the same as the 1 disc edition, but comes with the Wal-Mart animated prequel DVD released back in October in North America. Asda got the exclusive due to Wal-Mart being there parent company. The news was received at TF@TM:
The DVD included the animated prequel on the extra and is in the same packaging as the regular UK release, only with a green sticker on the front explaining the different.
