lol.... So let me get this straight.... people seem to be toltaly fine with this since 1984.....

Comparing G1 Megatron to his Real-Life Counterpart

But this picture and its orignal "presentation"...

people are "up in arms"? Talk about being hypocritical. For those that are truly upset with the supposed advertisment of this hand gun, please explain how Megatron being a Walther P38 hand gun is any different. Advertisement is advertisement. Sticking a Decepticon logo on it doesn't make it any better. And yes, i understand that one is real and the other is a transforming toy. But ultimately the message is still the same.

Read the first post ... it has contact details for a firearms manufacturer, that's what people are upset about.

No, see a few post above mine. Yes, its part of it but Its in its presentation that people seem to be upset about the most. Re-araging the words and putting the contact info in a different place seems to be more acceptable. (and so we are clear, i didn't mean to come ass a smart ass to you Burn. Just pointing out the hyprocicy when re-aranging some wording all of a sudden makes the same advertisment ok).

Not overly keen on advertising real guns (as in giving contact details and flourish text about one of their products) on a site focussed on toys designed for children, BUT that is the source of the image and it's only right the source be credited.

If you can't see the difference between a picture of Megatron in gun mode and a supposed news article that spends 1 sentence mentioning there's a pic from an upcoming film and 2 paragraphs telling us how great guns are and where to buy them, then only the words of that great philosopher Mr. T can sum up my feelings.

Headline: New Transformers: Age of Extinction Still Featuring Sophia Myles

Thanks to the Salient Arms Facebook page we finally have an image of Sophia Myles from Transformers: Age of Extinction.We reported that she had been added to the cast last May, but haven't seen much of her since. According to a leaked casting sheet she will be playing a character named Darcy who works with Stanley Tucci's character Joshua. Based on the recently released trailer they appear to be working on reverse engineering Transformers tech for human use. Check out the image mirrored below:

This is a 100% hand built/fit weapon. Every part is ordered/fabricated oversized so it is hand fit to the next, as a result, tolerances stay very high.

High Capacity 1911s featured in 9mm and in Government and Commander length. 21+1 round capacity. Please note that it will also be available in .40, .45, and .38 super. Taking orders now!

It certainly looks classier. I think it keeps the main focus on the film still, while keeping Salient's blurb available, and since they're the ones who've provided this still, it's only fair we thank them for it.

What I don't understand is, other boards have reported on it, so why is everyone jumping up our butts about it? Seriously.

if I visited other TF sites frequently I might raise concern with them on their own forums if they presented the info in the same way and were as specific about their news articles being related solely to Hasbro's Transformers brand transforming robot toys. I rarely do visit other sites though (other than e-shops) because when I have I either find the layout and mechanics of the sites less satisfying than this one, or the mix of attitudes of the people far less to my liking.

More squeaky wheels here than there? Some just get butthurt too easy and like transforming molehills into mountains. It's only a few peeps cryin' 'bout it all. Maybe they need a blanky?

I like robots.....

*Retool, at least I hope, since this one doesn't have the sniper scope. Hmmm, or the scope could be a minicon, the lasersight too.

I can't believe it. A thread that went downhill THAT quickly without my snark or general "ass"iness involved and nobody bothered to PM me about it? Don't know how I missed this thread before but if I had known from the start that it would turn out like this I would have popped some popcorn first. This is more entertaining than anything on tv right now.

To be honest, I didn't notice the gun, just the things I could do to Sophia Miles

Another poster for Transformers: Age of Extinction has surfaced, and we get to take a look thanks to Paramount. Check out the image below, showing Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz's characters Cade and Tessa Yaeger running away from their house - and a giant, looming spaceship, most likely commanded by Decepticon Bounty Hunter Lockdown.

I don't like to read spoilers or know much about the story before hand, but does that ship kinda look like Scorponok?

glad im not only one who thinks that all I keeps popping in my head is scorpinok looking at ship

Maybe Scorponok and Zarak coming to Earth to do some damage. Now we just need Fortress Maximus.

I see Scorponok as well. I really, really, really hope the thing at least transforms.

If thats the case with the whole humans controlling and making transformers and Scorponok/Fort Max thing, they might as well make a Headmaster/Power master movie...

i doubt that this thing transforms.. .. none of the ships we've seen so far have transformed..

i think it'd be cool if it did.. but i'm sure we would've heard about it by now. i think it's highly unlikely.

that ship to me looks more like a hand than anything maybe unicorn is all the ships the decepticons are using and either they know it or don't

remember in RID when megatron could also transform into a hand and become the hand of that big base thing he had? not saying that is what this is. but im saying.

I think this thing looks a lot like a scorpinok city former.

Scorponok is dead.

This is the Nightship.

Does it have an appearance that is reminiscent of Scorponok or in some way similar? Yes, to some of us at least, it does appear that way. I include myself in that number since that's all I could think of looking at the damn thing.
Is it in anyway related? NOPE, that bug done got himself *squished* so don't even think about it folks.
Is it rumored that it may be something else on a grander scale? Yes but keep in mind that rumors are much like diapers in that they change frequently and there's usually a lot of sh** to deal with in them so it's best to avoid them entirely.
