Users can now go to Sector7.org and use the previously known passcode, fwiffo, to access some new video clips. Below are directions posted by Seibertron.com member 009 on how to access the clips:

Security Array 3 is now viewable.

The red harddrive that had the new trailer now runs something called "N.B.E. Evidence Logs" consisting of two short videos featuring CGI G1 Transformers in alternate modes running amok. The first video features the Dinobot Commander GRIMLOCK, the second features an unknown Transformer and the 3rd features the Insecticon KICKBACK.

Two of the three harddrive to the right are now open. The top one has the trailer, the second shows a bit of "Operation Seek and Destroy" which is more of those surveillance videos from the site's first incarnation, and the third is still closed.

Holy crap, Grimlock and a Insecticon! Why the Hell could we not get a G1 film?!

With the way CGI tools and computing power are progressing a couple of amateurs will soon be able to make a G1 movie in its entirety. I will get royally pissed and sacrifice a blue frenzy toy to the gods of joy on that day.

they low-budgetiness warms my heart. Grimmy and Kicky FTW!
Was the second one Frenzy's brother or something?

As much as it looks cool, it doesn't look real.

Grimlock has always been great, but there he looks like a bad Godzilla monster, just a big silver brick dragging his ass across the floor.

I know this thread is gonna spark the whole G1 film vs. not G1 film debate again. But I for one never did want to see a movie with the G1 guys in it, since their transformations are just way way waaaayyy too simple. After seeing Blackout transform in the TV spots I went and looked back at that old fanmade "leaked" footage of G1 Sideswipe transforming, and despite being impressed by it back then, it really doesn't hold a candle to what the real movie bots are doing.

That Grimlock is 20 years old, wether he's done in top notch CGI or 2D cartoon, he's still 20 years old...

I knew I had seen that grimlock somewhere else

I've seen the Kicback and Grimlock videos before. They're still not as impressive as the actual movie.

But I know some idiot is going to come in here anyway, and ask "omg does this mean grimlock is in teh movie lol".

Those are AWESOME. XD Don't really get that second one, but the ones with Grimmy and Kickback(?) were great. :grin:

I assumed the second was Reflector...but I also thought it took 3 TFs to make Reflector's alt mode.

Anywho, Kickback was awesome despite being very, very tiny, but go figure

I like!

"Me Grimlock smash Tokyo!"

Also, you're a jerk, Kickback. ^_^

by **dj_funk_gut** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:11 pm

it's cute but i think having that huge slow as dirt grimlock would be sad as the decepticons just unload on grimlock as a way to draw the other autobots out of hiding.

by **jonusjaxon** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:13 pm

Wow. Grimlock looked horrible. I'm glad they decided against using the old designs. I can imagine how crappy the rest of the bots would look.

I think that those clips were awesome. Grimlock the size of an actual TRex and Kickback the size of an actual insect. Nice.

Knock em all you want, but if it wasn't for G1, you wouldn't have this fancy smancy Bay version.

Oh yeah, whatever happened to "true size" and "non disappearing parts" Bumblebee looks like a friggin' combiner going from car to bot mode in the trailer, and Prime has no trailer.
