I'm curious as to what the announcer was saying about Straxus, as most Japanese fans couldn't have the foggiest idea who he is. Or did the old Marvel comics get translated and published there recently?

Reminds me of when, I was a kid. I didnt know they made transformers comercials anymore. Gotta love the way they transform cybertron Bumblebee in 5 seconds. It takes me 10 minutes.

That was AWESOME.

Kids today don't know what they're missing, even in the 90s adverts were epic like this.

Take note Hasbro! More cheese!

I kept hearing "Optimus Prime" being said throughout the commercial....

If someone would help me out on this one it would be nice. Are the Japanese not calling Prime "Convoy" anymore?

This commercial makes me miss the old ones. Like this one!
Here ya go, Chaoslock; creepy kid and all.

Hasbro should take note of this United commercial (and the Devastator one). Get kids excited about TFs! That PCC commercial ain't gonna cut it...

haha..

That kid was super cool for the 80's. Justin Beiber copied his image.

Since the japanese debut of Animated, I only heard them mentioning him as Optimus, not Convoy. In fact, the first episodes intro explained that Optimus Prime is the leader of the autobots (also, no longer cybertrons)
