If it bugs you thast much take it to the mods.

We did. He got a warning. Still, he persists. And leaping in here so late in the game telling us what assholes we are for getting agitated at agitating behavior (Which, by the way, DM was sure to note when he issued the warning) only serves to derail the thread further.

keep taking it to the mod.

they are pretty good here, not like on some other sites.
and no one called you an AH, but if you feel this is derailing things further, then lets drop it.

You know what guys?

One more sentence, even it it's a short one, that has absolutely nothing to do with Transformers: Prime, and I will loose my cool completely.
Think I've been hostile the past few weeks or so, you haven't seen nothing yet.

One more sentence that has nothing to do with the topic at hand and you earn a warning, and another warning for what ever post with an off topic content you made before that in the thread.

I'm looking at you Rodimus2006, especially at you, this is the last chance I give you to stay on topic. You have this ability to derail threads completely.

Shadowman is right, you cam barging in and derailed it even further. You know full well of R06's ability to piss every one off, and you know perfectly well how he's like and how he has zero reaction to any kind of civil requests. You also know that he doesn't go away just because you ignore him, if that would help he wouldn't be here anymore.

You just posted to start an argument just for the sake of an argument.

So this also counts for you, post something on topic or don't post at all.

If I'm ignored yet again, I'll dish out the aforementioned warnings and do the following:

I will take this thread away.

Yes I will lock this thread and make it go away.


Last chance.

SO about that apex armor? Where did it come from originally? I mean, I never got to read the novels, so I dont know.

Solus Prime made it.

Also, got some bad news about the Japanese dub of Prime. It ain't as accurate as it previously seemed to be. Look what they did to Airachnid:

n the Japanese dub of Prime, Airachnid's personality is completely different from her US interpretation. In the dub, she is a bubbly, giggling, high-strung chatterbox that is obsessed with collecting handsome boys as trophies. Played up as something of a female Pepe Le Pew, she constantly swoons over Jack, calling him her "hunk", her "darling", her "cutie Jack-chan" and various other lovey-dovey remarks as she amorously pursues him (even going so far as to sing love songs to him, mid-chase). While her sadistic qualities remain, she's played more like a creepy stalker girl than a vicious monster.

So...it's the Beast Wars dub all over again? I feel sorry for our friends in the land of the rising sun, but at the same time, hey, I watch it in original English so I don't have to put up with that.

[njb902]

hahahahahahaha wow that made me laugh.

[BeastProwl]

I like it, it adds to her creepy in a way that I never thought possible.

[Sabrblade]

There's more:

Airachnid is dubbed by Ryōka Yuzuki, the actress who dubbed Beast Wars Black Widow and Animated Blackarachnia, and so many of the quirks she conceived for those characters (such as a habit of making a hissing tshaaaaa-- noise) are present. Likewise, the constant, incessant talking seems to be a throwback to the "adlibbing" prevalent in the Japanese dub of Beast Wars.

Also, want something that'll make your head hurt even more? The Japanese dub renamed the Scraplets as "Minicons".

Because that is not confusing at all.

Can't wait to meet those who defend that as an improvement and example how Japan does everything better.

Let me guess, from now on her rivalry with Arcee will be based on Arcee being a rival for the affections of Jack.

We totally need a Prime Abridged series that pokes fun at that.

And I used to be a defender of the J-Prime dub, but only since the first episode made it look like the most faithful J-dub yet. come episode 2 and it started showing shades of goofiness.

Though, I will still defend the Japanese dub of Animated, since the source material was already pretty fun-loving as it was. Not to mention that G1 Opimus Prime guested starred for part of an episode of it.

I would love a transformers abridged series...

[Va'al]

There already is unrequited love in the series, though.

Starscream and Steve the Vehicon!


Also, I found an abridged version of Prime, but couldn't be bothered to sit through it.


Is there any news on the season starting again? I miss my Sunday morning fix!

[Sabrblade]

It wasn't a visual appearance, but an auditory one.

See, Tessho Genda, voice of G1 Convoy/Optimus Prime and G1 Omega Supreme, reprised his role of Omega Supreme for the Japanese dub of Animated. In one of the "TransWarped" episodes, during the "next-episode preview", Tessho Genda provided the voice of the character talking about the next episode, and the character voice he used was G1 Optimus Prime. In addition, Hiroki Takahashi, Japanese dub voice of Animated Optimus Prime, also took part in this next-episode preivew session ,in which his played the role of his Optimus. So, for this brief session, there were two different Optimus Primes conversing back and forth about the next episode. And, as I said, it was all done in voiceover, so the only visuals of this were scene teasing at the next episode.

Though, I couldn't locate the exact video, but I did find one close to it. It's a commercial preview for the episode the two were conversing about, with Tesshō Genda and Hiroki Takahashi as G1 and Animated Optimus Prime, respectively, promoting the episode together.

The deeper voice with the red text is G1 Optimus Prime, and the younger voice with the blue text is Animated Optimus Prime.

I would love a transformers abridged series...

Ask and thou shalt receive (featuring jON3.0 as Optimus Prime).

Though, there should definitely be one of Prime.

Because that is not confusing at all.

It's not enough that they bring back Microns as Arms Microns, but now they go and apply the American term for Microns, "Minicons", to something completely different.

What'll happen if the English version starts referring to Laserbeak as a Minicon? If the Japanese call him a Micron, theat might confuse Japanese viewers as to why Laserbeak is so different from the other Microns. Or, if the Japanese keep the term "Minicon" for him, then they'll be further confused as to what he looks nothing like the Scraplets, who they called Minicons.

As for word on new episodes starting up again, nope.

[Hypershock]

wow jesus, i am completely not okay with that characterization. I love everything about the airachnid character, but every time i go back and watch an episode with her in it, i see her transform and it reminds me of the crap toy, and now Japan took away her personality. grrrr

[Shadowman]

and now Japan took away her personality. grrrr

That's only a problem if you only watch the Japanese dub. They can't take her characterization away in the original English.

I don't understand the Japanese sometimes. airachnid is perfectish in our version.....why mess with perfectionish?

[psj333]

Last time, The Hub had promised that after episode 26, Transformers: Prime will be taking a break for a time. However, when will new episodes be shown on tv once the break ends?

Remember kids, being a murderous, psychotic, stalker is way better than just being murderous!
I feel like this change to Airachnid's character makes a statement about Japan's view of women, because they do kinda have a bigger gender disparity than in the west. Can't have a female character without a love interest...or something. IDK, I may be reading too much into this.

They'll probably go back to being shown every week.
I think what you're TRYING to ask is when the show will return from hiatus, and the answer to that is that none of us knows but it ain't soon enough.

No problem, my good man
Here's one thing i've been musing on but i don't think i've posted anywhere.

Generally i'm okay with most repaints, i just won't buy them; however, there is one set of repaints/ remolds that they could make and i would love to pieces. I would love it if they came out with like 3 or 4 different Prime Soundwave deluxes. The main figure itself would be mostly the same, but they could do some minor reworking in his chestal section so that he could come with a different Deployer, like Ravage or Ratbat.
] Sadly, Rumble and probably Frenzy are getting a deluxe size so they wouldnt make them Deployers, but still i think it's a cool concept.

What did I say just yesterday?
the-official-transformers-prime-discussion-thread-t71433s2670.php#p1393782

Toy discussion belongs in the toy forum, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand and considering I made it very clear what would happen not even 24 hours ago, you earn yourself a warning.

You will also be notified of your warning via pm.

[Blurrz]

And let us leave it at that.

This is a big thread that has many thoughts and viewpoints in it. It would be a shame for it to be eaten by Unicron and have everyone suffer because someone made a minor mistake.

Me and DM however will enforce our rules in regards to this and have every right to steer this thread back on course whether it be through warnings, verbal or actual. This is your second chance. Please don't mess it up.

Carry on.
