Great write-up Diem. I LOLed on several of your entries. Such diverse comedic references. :APPLAUSE:

Jolly good show! :APPLAUSE:

Yep, lorries. Those of you born outside the UK may not have this word but for us it's how we differentiate between the types of trucks that have four wheels and tailgates (those would be trucks) and the type of trucks that have many wheels and are designed specifically to pull trailers (those would be lorries).

Growing up in the USA, the word I learned for this is tractor-trailer. That covers any type where there's a separable cab and trailer. Though usually we just say "truck" (or semi or 18-wheeler, depending).

I remember seeing the word "tractor-trailer" on G1 Motormaster's tech specs way back in the day and being like, oh what the hell is that? To me then (and still kind of now) a tractor is the thing you find on a farm and nothing else.

This is an amazing series of post I feel the current seibertronians would love to read. What's funny is that as I read the title, the 2 first alt modes to come to mind as the Best were Lamborghinis and Galaxy Force Starscream's alt mode (futuristic jets). Turns out those were the top 2. And with MP Lambor that came out since this article, I feel this list holds up really well as it is the most perfect alt mode in my collection.

Anything Italian inspired. WJ's for instance, I just can't decide which is better, 'bot or car........leaning towards the latter.

Diem wrote:Scourge (and his repaints) may well be the last non-minicon Dragon that we'll see for a while in Transformers. The movie line has been eschewing beast modes for the most part, no Dragonformers are really iconic enough to be must-sees in Universe 3.0, and War For Cybertron probably won't include any characters that weren't introduced in 1984-1985. But if Scourge is the last dragon we'll see, we're going out on a high. This guy is huge, imposing and fierce-looking. In the storyline he was the ruler of a planet where authority was decided by physical strength and he sure looks the part. With his huge axe, his fangs and his extra heads, he ensures that the legend..will never die.

That's it for dragons. Next time, we'll be taking to the skies. See you then!

I am guessing Diem was quite happy about the Beast Hunters toy line then.

Too lazy to quote, but that post mentioning "2015" and "Transformers MMO" was prophetic

This idea is supported by a G1 episode in which the Seekers were "blinded" by smoke covering their cockpits, causing them to panic and crash.

Haha, I had waited too long to open my email/notification on this thread, but I'm glad i did today because I watched a G1 episode. The episode was "Masquerade" and in it the autobots disguised themselves as Stunticons. Anyway, during one of the fights earlier in the show, Tracks or Grapple put smoke over one of the Stunticons' windshields and he said "Hey!! I can't see!!!" :lol:

Erm, well, the episode I was referring to was "Auto Berserk", in which Smokescreen blinded the Seekers. But that works too, I guess.

Speaking of the G1 toons -- are they going to release TF: The Movie on bluray?? Since GI Joe: TM has a bluray I don't see why not?

Wow. That's awesome. But I dunno about $75 awesome lol. I'd love it if Shout factory and/or Hasbro released the bluray at a price point similar to GI Joe The Movie.

That's the Australian Blu-Ray. There is no U.S. Blu-Ray of the movie. There is only a UK Blu-Ray and an Australian Blu-Ray.

The man just asked if a blur ray was available, he didnt specify which and I didnt assume outright that he was from the states.

It's ok. I still find it weird that there's a US blu for GI Joe The Movie and not for TFTM.

It probably has to do with the time frame they were released. The last reissue of TF:TM was at a time that was just before Blu-Ray became the new standard.
