Prime in Memoriam

Photo-A-Day #3270

I was playing around with my Samsung NX30 and NX300 with the 60mm Macro lens. I was taking photos of the shiny Optimus Prime Helmet that came with the KRE-O version of custom Optimus Prime and it made me think that it was a memorial to a fallen in battle Optimus Prime.

This also made me think of Transformers Prime, the cartoon series that I think was the best Transformers series ever. At the end of the series Optimus Prime is one with the All Spark. He’s basically dead, I’m sure that he will be coming back, though. There is no way that he’s gone for good. But, at the end of the series he is gone. I recently learned that an all new Transformers series is in the works for 2015. It will pick up years after the events of Transformers Prime, see the press release below.

Transformers Prime Predacons Rising DVD Giveaway

6 Comments

Optimus Prime Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predacons RisingOn Tuesday October 8th the movie Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising will be available to purchase. I received a Blu-ray/DVD copy to watch and review. I wrote an early review of the movie but wanted to go into a little more detail and hopefully, not give away any spoilers. Haven’t heard about the show or the movie, here’s the trailer.

The movie takes place after the events of the series finale of Transformers Prime. The Autobots are now on a Cybertron that is beginning to be rebuilt. Optimus and the crew are just beginning that rebuilding process after they revived the planet’s core. The movie explores some themes that I hadn’t thought that a Transformers franchise would explore and they do something so very interesting with Megatron that you have to watch it to get the full effect. He’s bigger, badder and meaner than ever but something happens to him that I never thought I’d see.

Predaking is still around, nursing his wounds from the battle with Megatron in the series finale. But there are other predacons around and we see how they all interact with each other.

Optimus goes on a quest to find somethign that he hid from Megatron during the Great War. Bumblebee shows more of his mettle. The other bots are part of the story but sort of take a smaller role in deference to Bumblebee, Prime, Megatron and Predaking. It was a very compelling story.

If you would like to win a copy of the movie (on DVD) you must reside in the United States, can provide me with a mailing address and can answer me this question.
