Transformers Trailer Changed

There has been a subtle and yet monumental change to the Transformers Trailer. You see, the trailer needed something, something more. What it got was a line by Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime. Granted the line sounds like he is the movie voice over guy and not exactly Optimus. I would have preferred a “Autobots! Transform! and Roll Out!” just before you see all the Autobots gathered like the posse going after the bad guys and ready to save the day. But no the line Cullen speaks is the winning line from the Make Prime Speak contest. And I’m sorry the winner’s line was lifted right from Prime’s Tech Specs on his toy package. That wasn’t an original line. Hardly anyone who entered that contest had an original line. Anyway, you can see the new trailer on the official site. Transformers The Movie. I am still waiting for that intrepid fan who will re cut this trailer for the fans. Nothing too major. The re cuts that are already out there are nice but I want the full trailer with the transforming sound and Optimus saying, “Autobots! Transform! and Roll Out!”

I also learned about http://www.sectorseven.org/ a “secret” site for the Transformer’s task force, I think it has something to do with the proposed video game tie in that is coming out.

Transformers Classics

About the best thing that has come from Hasbro in a long time is the Transformers Classics line of Transformers. This line has just what the adult collector is looking for as well as great playability for the younger generation. The Optimus Prime and Megatron Characters are fantastic. They retain the true fun of the original characters while enhancing the quality with the latest technology. These toys are just so fun to play with. I decided that I would open my Transformers Classics line of toys because they were just so cool, I could not keep them in the packages. Right now I have Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Hot Rod and Grimlock. Grimlock just arrived the other day. I got Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Grimlock from the Hasbro Toy shop. Well worth getting them there because the discounts were great. I plan to get the rest of the line as more become available.
