I love how they make it seem that pushing down on Prime's hood is an Automorph type of thing. Still...it's a neat effect, and I'm not sure why none of us have copied it yet.

That commercial actually makes Megatron look... alright. How weird!

You know? I kept seeing the "June 2nd" commercial during Adult Swim last night, and it was the coolest thing - espcially because the Family Guy episode airing was the one with Prime showing up at a Jewish temple!

I saw that too. The June 2nd TV spot was interesting, and the Family Guy episode was the icing on the cake!

For about the last 4 days i've been seeing this commercial on nick toons.

It's a great commercial, reminds me of the old g1 comercials.

I only caught the end of the commercial the first time that I saw it air. I had to rewind my DVR just so that I could watch the whole thing!

cool advert, but whats with 'actual change times will vary' jees, is that to stop lawsuits against false advertising??? (ie you can transform prime in 2 seconds)

japanese toy adverts did (still do??) stop motion type animation, and did so with the old TF toys (well i think so, certainly the diaclone adverts) anyway apparently that wasnt allowed in the USA maybe for giving false impressions of the toys capabilities, hmmm, im not sure adults give kids enough credit.

cool, i only just noticed it says 'transformers, robots in disguise' but is quite slow and hidden in the thick mix.
