Was it just me or was pretty much every Deceptican in that? Megs, Starscream, and more. Daddy like.

I would, but I'm afraid suffering through Mission Impossible III and The Legend of Zorro may have left me emotionally scarred.

I think that may be pushing it just a tad.

DID NO ONE NOTICE?!?!?! :shock:

I could be mistaken, but I believe it was Victor 'frikkin' Caroli doing the voice over at the end!!! :shock:

Gasps! Is that Ironhide I see towards the end?

Forgive me for my horrible tendencies to not know celebrities, but.......who's Victor Caroli?

Still not impresses. I couldn't tell one transformer from another unless they were either in alt mode or megatron. Megatron looks still like a mass of junk. It just doesn't have any flavor to it. It look way too generic. If you guys are convinced by that, then fine.

I still don't like the idea that they can just willy nilly change their alt mode. It make ver little sense for them to even have one stable alt mode.

If it's any consolation I really liked The Island, apart from Bay's spastic cuts during the action scenes.

I don't think that was him...He sounds sort of like victor...I dunno.

by **krisko** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:30 pm

if you watch it in slow motion, you can actually see ironhide's mouth opening as he's doing the barrol roll. i cant wait to see these 30 foot robots actually talking and conversing...aside from all the crazy action thats going to take place of course, we just havent see any type of communication from them yet. that 1/2 second got me as excited as the rest.

That was the first thing I thought of Raymond! I thought it was pretty rad, even if it was a snippit. I really liked the action scene of Ironhide firing off a knuckle missle. About Frenzy though... was he, or was he not a boom box under the chair as it he was transforming? I vaugely recall something about Frenzy taking any shape he wanted. Anywho, anyone want to help me out with that?

It's not his gravel narrator voice he used on the series itself, but his voiceover voice he used on the Secret Files of Teletran II from season 3 and the commercial for the Sony 20th Anniversary DVD.

If it is him, nice touch adding him for the voice over.

No mass shifting, but scanning and becoming a truck in 5 seconds is so much better.

Oh how I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Evening. I meant evening. ¬_¬'

Who wants to be the first to make up excuses and come up with sci-fi explanations! Come on, bring on those nanobots and self chaning metal parts that don't need any forging, welding or anything silly like that! :grin:

(Please apply it to vocalisers too!)

Me thinks the first of many plotholes is in. Btw, who needs Wheeljack or Ratchet if everyone can reconstruct themselves in under a second? Oh... Everything but useful stuff.

I wonder how many missiles like that Ironhide packs.
