Revenge of the Fallen

6 July, 2009 (18:12) | Movies, Toys, Transformers | By: Alan

So, I’ve now seen the film twice.  Yes, I do love my giant transforming robots.
I’ve seen both the normal and Imax version, and enjoyed it a lot.  In fact, the two things that annoyed me first time around (the twins and the length) grated a lot less on a second viewing.  Aside from the fact [...]

The Touch: Sam’s Theme

17 May, 2009 (12:19) | Movies, Transformers, YouTube | By: Alan

Stan Bush has released this new version of The Touch, dubbed Sam’s theme.  After his song Til All Are One didn’t make it onto the soundtrack for the Transformers movie 2 years ago, he’s opted to redo The Touch in a style more fitting with the first film’s soundtrack.
Obviously the original is still the best, [...]

City Commander

20 September, 2008 (01:10) | Toys, Transformers | By: Alan

Some new pictures of the upcoming City Commander trailer for Classics Ultra Magnus can be seen here
I can’t afford it sadly, but its certainly drool-worthy, and hard to resist for a big Ultra Magnus fan like me.
On a related note, I’m really loving the Universe Classics. Prowl and Sunstreaker have both been released over [...]

Transformers On The Go

1 September, 2008 (21:01) | Gaming, Transformers | By: Alan

I’m a sucker for buying new games for my mobile phone, and so I was pleasantly surprised this week when I checked the New Games section, and found a G1 Transformers game available.
Its a cracking wee game. Its a turn-based strategy game, whereby you have to use your Autobot units to complete a set [...]

Came across this in today’s post of the Shortpacked! blog.
Its just mad.

Animated Ultra Magnus Toy Revealed

27 April, 2008 (14:51) | Toys, Transformers | By: Alan

Hasbro have updated their site with new pictures of the Animated Ultra Magnus toy (there’s a lot of new info due to Botcon being this weekend).
I’m definitely picking this guy up.   He looks really cool

Megatron Rising

14 April, 2008 (08:09) | Television, Toys, Transformers | By: Alan

Well, we’re just over the halfway mark now in Transformers: Animated.
This is easily the best show since Robots in Disguise. While I enjoyed Cybertron, Armada was quite painful for most of its run (surprisingly since the plot was actually good – just badly executed with really annoying kid sidekicks) and Energon I just got [...]

Animated Grimlock

17 March, 2008 (19:24) | Toys, Transformers | By: Alan

Man, its been ages since I posted anything Transformers-y.
TFW2005′s forums have some pictures up of the new animated Grimlock toy.
That’s a “must buy” for me. It looks brilliant
I’ve been enjoying the new cartoon a lot. I was originally dubious as it was such a large departure from the “Unicron Trilogy” style [...]

Stung!

12 August, 2007 (12:18) | Toys, Transformers | By: Alan

Well yesterday I nipped into Toys R Us and saw that they now had a giftset of Blackout and Scorponok. These two Decepticons should be familiar to anyone who’s seen the movie, as Blackout laid waste to the US Army base in the opening scene of the movie, and Scorponok tracked the soldiers who [...]

Transformers Animated

1 August, 2007 (21:57) | Television, Toys, Transformers, YouTube | By: Alan

Well, hot on the heels of the film’s success, Hasbro h already started previewing its new animated series and toy designs for 2008.
The new aesthetic will take a bit of getting used to, but the toy designs look pretty fun. Plus the opening theme is one of the best in recent years.
Here’s a [...]
