Major Bummer.

This is very unfortunate. He made the character of Sentinel Prime in DoTM very memorable. R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy.

We'll miss you Leonard Nimoy.

A very sad day. Usually I stay clear of these kinds of threads because they turn into sycophantic love-ins. In this case I make an exception.

Tonight I'll toast a legend who transcended cinema. Live long and prosper.

I've only just found out a man has passed to legend.

Is so sad. We've lost a great one

I got the notification while I was watching "in search of"

R.I.P Leonard Nimoy

very sad indeed!! he was of course a double presence in our wonderful Transformers world where he brought out cool characters. I still prefer his Galvatron compared to Welker's take on the series. and as a child of the 80s, i grew up on the Star Trek movies. never got into the original series but the movies are definitely a big part of that time of my life.

never got to meet him but i got the closest i possibly could last year when he did a live Skype event at our Comic Con. so got to watch him on screen be very engaging and funny, taking questions from the audience which varied from little kids to Trek cos players. and those of us who sprang for the special "Nimoy Package" also received a pre-signed autographed photo.

so with this news, i shall treasure those memories along with the autograph even more!!

"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP"
-Leonard Nimoy

On his Twitter account before being admitted to the hospital earlier this week.

extremely sad news, another of the greats has been taken away. Rest in peace Mr. Nimoy you will be missed

All hail ........Galvatron!

As I have been a follower of his on Twitter for a while, I've had a feeling this was something that would occur sooner rather than later, and I am still at a loss at his passing.

That said, he seemed to be as active and making the most of life right to the end.

He is legend, and we are all better having received the gift of his talents over the years.

If there are any smokers reading this, I won't be preachy and tell you to quit, but Mr. Nimoy spent time to explain how his smoking help lead to the cause of his passing, please seek out his writings.

Rest in peace, and may your spirit continue to live long and prosper.

RIP

rip galvatron was awesome

Disappointing to hear he's gone and condolences to his family. I've always really liked Mr. Nimoy, it's such a shame to see him gone... He was one of those few celebrities about whom you would never hear a bad word. That in itself was amazing, especially when you consider his long and varied career. You certainly don't see that level of talent and professionalism nearly as often in younger stars, the kind who seem to chase celebrity just for the sake of it. Being 83 years old though, it does make it tough for me to be really sad (I mean, that is longer than most of us can manage). Still, the world was a better place for having had him here and is slightly worse off now that he's gone. RIP.

This has upset me.

There are some people that you sort of expect to live forever, Mr Nimoy was one of them.

wilo be missed if i had to choose who to meet on star trek show show him or catian kirk it be nimory star trek transformer legend

Not the kinda news you are looking for when you hit Seibertron.com is it? Damn. I think Galvatron is one of my all time favourites because of his voice and the personality that came with it.

And he MADE DOTM. Sentinel is the best thing about the movie verse.

R.I.P Mr. Nimoy

Very sad to see this legend pass. Rest peacefully.

"Of all the souls I've known...his was the most....human...." Indeed, he was a gentleman and a poet. I cannot think of anything he did that I didn't like. He was even the best thing in Star Trek V (remember toasting Marsh Melons?)

...

I will toast him with my best Scotch tonight.

R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy.

I lament, for Spock is dead.

rest in peace Mr Nimoy
you will be missed in both communities: the Star Trek Franchise and The Transformers franchise

til all are one!!

The geek-o-sphere has lost one of it's founding fathers.

Dammit.

aw fuck

"You know he's not really dead, as long we remember him"-Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelly) from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan I just got through watching that it seemed right given the occasion. I've posted pretty much the same thing about Nimoy's passing at other boards and on twitter. I'm also not a guy who likes to repeat myself. So I'm going to post something a little different here mostly on what the character of Mr. Spock means to me.

There are some people on this planet that just don't fit it...anywhere, not offline or online they are called many names, misfits, freaks, loners, well you get the idea. I'm one of those people. I have a very hard time fitting in just about anywhere. A character like Mr. Spock is sort like that to me he's torn between internal conflicts of logic vs. emotion, a character who is more or less always at war with himself. Struggling to find the balance between logic and emotion, which is something I struggle with myself. I found the words he said in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country "That logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end." one of the most important things every said in a sci-fi movie. I have more or less made peace with my demons and I try to find a balance between logic and emotion, that I can live with, (and before anyone asks it's a personal quest that is different for everyone) as far as finding a place that I fit it I have found that place in my heart.

So thank you Mr. Nimoy for helping me find what I was looking for, and for giving years of enjoyment in your work, and for the years yet to come of more enjoyment. I don't know 100% sure if there is a Heaven but if there is I really hope you're there with your family and friends having fun.

Live Long and Prosper for all time.

Sad news Rest in piece.

Rest in peace Spock.

galvatron is dead
long live galvatron

I'm going to be clutching my Mr. Spock doll a friend at work gave me Christmas before last. :crying:

I met the man, he was so kind and nice to me ill never forget him.

i was a trekker before i was a TFer.

RIP u wonderful soul.

R.I.P Leonard Nimoy
You will be missed by the trekkie in me and the Transformers fan in me.

Leonard Nimoy prospered most as a Transformer...

God bless Leonard Nimoy. He had a big impact on everyone, and may he rest in peace.

RIP Mr. Nimoy. You will be missed.

RIP Leonard Nimoy. May you live long and prosper forever.

Since Nimoy never was "mainstream' enough to feel you are sick of him, I quess there is no place on Earth that would'nt feel fory for him. He was truely great as Galvatron in 80's Movie, and one of a few thigns good in otherwise terrible DOTM.

All honors to you, Leonard Nimoy, you did a great job...

Rest in peace, Mister Nimoy. Thank you for all you've done.

mis-post...

I have been non stop crying [exaggeration] since yesterday , stopped an hour ago, then I read your words.

crying again.

Leonard Nimoy's life has gifted us with so many iconic and legendary characters through his acting. May he find the peace and joy he gave others in life in his eternal rest.

He did an excellent Galvatron and Sentinel Prime!

For his career on Star Trek, he played a great part as Spock and he was an excellent director for the fourth Star Trek movie. He'll definitely be one of my favorite Star Trek characters.

RIP Leonard Nimoy.
