With less than 12 days still to go, the Transformers Convention based in the Netherlands under the name TF ConVersions will make its presence known for a third straight year. To be held in Nieuwegein at the Merwestein Sport Complex on June 14th, the event has given another update on their site.

But there is more news reported on their site. Hasbro has created a new dutch website to promote the new toys of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Along regular promotions for both the RotF line and the Animated line, a dutch commercial can also be found here. An extra detail about the commercial is the fact that the actor, who voices the dutch Optimus Prime in the TV Spot, is Hero Muller. The actor who dubbed Optimus Prime in the dutch version of the original cartoon in the 80's.

TF dubbed in the 80's? Honestly i have never seen a single episode dubbed in Dutch and i am glad i never did.

Most of the dutch dub sucked. Like translating "a piece of oil cake" into "het is net een stukje olietaart"
Many of the voices were indeed bad. But aside from the pronounciations of some things, Hero Muller did a great job of voicing Optimus Prime into dutch. And I am glad that they chose him to dub Optimus Prime for the commercials once again. Plus, I know him to be a great guy in person.
