Transformers and More @ The Seibertron Store







Details subject to change. See listing for latest price and availability.
Orci, who admitted he reads fan commentary almost incessantly, revealed that he pays close attention to fan reactions for fresh and new perspectives on the work, particularly when plot details or spoilers leak online.
One specific example is with the case of Arcee, a beloved female autobot who almost made it into the first live action film, was barely in the sequel, but has found new life and fan favoritism on the animated series.
Geek: How is Megatron being handled in Transformers Prime ? How’s he different from previous iterations?
FW: I think first, physically when you look at Megatron, he’s quite a bit different: he doesn’t have the gun on his arm like he did in G1 and now he’s a jet fighter and he’s a little bit different in the Transformers Prime series [in that] he has a slightly different look, but when you look at him you go, “Oh yeah, that’s Megatron!”

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I have sympathy for those guys. I mean, seriously, the fans here are mostly whining little babies when it comes to any kind of changes to the franchise and they nearly nit pick as much as Star Wars or Star Trek fans. I give credit to Orci for actually reading some of this trash and not committing suicide. The guys are stuck between what the Hub is(a children's network), what they may want to do with the franchise, what Hasbro wants, and this whiny bunch here. They literally cannot win no matter what they do with the fans here, and this is what would be termed the "vocal minority".
Personally, change is what Transformers is all about- whether it's changing from mode to mode or changing from line to line. If you look at it, very few toy lines EVOLVE as m uch as Transformers. Let's face it: Star Wars hasn't had anythying fresh for years; GI Joe, though slightly more fun, still largely remain the same figures and equipment. Pokemon, Bakugan, Yi-Gi-Oh, and the others are just fads. But this mythos and toy line continually change. Can you imagine lining all the Optimuses (Optimi?) up in chronological order from 1983 to now and looking at them? It's simply phenomenal. And THAT is the best thing about being a Transfan.
(If you listened closely, you could hear "Battle Hymn of the Republic" playing in the background during my speech...)
