Having only seen Bayformers once on opening day, I forgot how much fun that movie was. But it was damn good fun. Only tf goodness I got.

As for Animated, I can't do torrents. They never seem to want to play, unless someone knows a program to play them. Or have the file as a .rar file or something. Then I could get at it. Or a .Tar.

.torrents don't "play". They are just a record of hash numbers for segments of a file, and its associated tracker... As long as you're not behind a firewall on a school campus or anything you should be fine downloading them.

I'd recommend trying BitComet to download torrents.

If you need help playing the AVI file that comes from the torrent I recommend CCCP for you Windows users.

It's ok, I've just found it on youtube in 9 parts. Get it while you can!

It has a marker from the user in the bottom left corner, but it's still very watchable.

if you need rar files i'd use the first link i posted, but as Tekka said, the torrents themselves dont play, they're just info where to download the files from!

personally i'm quite happy with Utorrent

I've never really understood torrents. Never worked them. But I can watch it, so I'm happy. Thanks for the help all the same.

EDIT: Animated is a great little show. Worth watching, if just to see new tfs without step by step toy instruction transformations or shouting the name of the attacks. It's got my seal of approval. :APPLAUSE:

Have Dropkick and Payload been released in the UK yet? I've not seen them. I'm hoping to buy the Blackout/Scorponok two pack on Monday, if lucky. If I can, I wouldn't mind getting Dropkick and Payload at the same time.

Picked both up from The Entertainer a couple of weeks ago. They still had some a couple of days ago in the Notts store. Not seen 'em anywhere else myself.

Yeah, although i have no clue who this onslaught character is, the toy looks great. If this is what we can expect from classics 2, with this level of detail and well applied paint apps then this might be a line thats actually worth completing for once.

ok im downloading the 1st ep on the new series, cant wait...

well now i got my Leader OPs, im gonna get one of these for him:
Image
is a lot cheaper than buying the new 'premium' leader OPs, and from what ive seen of the official sword, this one looks better...and doesnt involve altering the toy...plus i got both gun and blade

On a side note, WTF is up with this board, we still have crappy large fonts and the board seems to delight in crashing IE7, i know the guy is trying to sort it, but does it really take this long?

That is a nice sword...I might have to get me one.

I don't mind the board anymore, but it keeps locking me out alot. I will hit submit for a post and I will get locked out for hours. Mental...

That looks beautiful. Onslaught is a beast.

Onslaught is the torso part for G1 Bruticus. He doesn't say much in the show really, or in any of the comics I've read. But he does look badass.



I can't wait to see the official pages posted up here! I must know who the first five are!

Either way, it looks like we've found our first ultra figure :APPLAUSE:

Yep. When you are just one man, trying to juggle real life and sort out your huge online web community all by your lonesome it can take a very long time.

I havnt had any probs, i just dont like the layout but im getting used to it. I use firefox and i never have a problem, maybe those who use the evil IE should upgrade to firefox and get better security and loose all the problems of viewing these boards all at once?

I never understood why people still use IE these days...

If it works for you I guess there's nothing to be gained by preaching the evils of IE and promoting Firefox.

But I will say I hate the websites that will not function properly unless you use IE, and I'm glad Seibertron isn't one of them.

At my old job for example I could do stock control from home which stopped me from spending too many late nights at work but the interface would NOT function on any browser other than IE. It frustrated me to no end as I don't even use Windows anymore. It's really frustrating actually having to go through motions of reinstalling something I spent so long trying to get rid of (IE), that isn't even meant to function on my operating system. :P

Managed to swig an Energon Devastator off eBay, so that will rock. Also managed to see TF Animated today, and it BLEW my mind! It rocks on so many levels :grin:

Left my house for the first time in forever, no Tf's anywhere. Well, ugly sliver Barricade and ugly silver Laserbeak were around, sigh, why did I even bother?

I've noticed the lack of TFs after Christmas too. My local stores have nothing but 3inch Titaniums and Star Wars Transformers left.

Anyone got a cheap alt silverstreak or any of the other subaru molds they dont want? I might be interested as i want one for a project and i dont want to use my own silverstreak for it. I want to make an alt cliffjumper rally car you see so a subaru would be perfect. I was gonna deck him out with scratchbuild body kit and swap the wheels for something a little sportier than the standard subaru wheels and cake him in mud (painted mud of course not real mud)
