Still, all of that pales in comparison to this...
Apparently this is being used as a promotion at a car dealership, further proving the great positive effect Bumblebee and his Camaro alt mode has had on GM car sales.

Let's look at most transoformations though. You get your hips split in half, stick your head down by your knees, attach elbow ot foot, swing the shoulder around 180, shall I go on?
I noticed the Prime helmet too, I suspect this was done before the Bee helmet.

That is weird, why go through all that trouble and then get lazy with the head?

The rest of the costume (and the fact it transforms!) is knocked down a few pegs because of the wrong helmet?
Geez.
He's got the costume, it looks cool, he's drawing people in, and what do you have? A computer screen to stare at, and NONE of the awesome.
Cosplayer? WIN.
Whiners? FAIL.

So true and so LOL funny.

Besides they repainted the prime helmet because that helmet came out before the bumblebee helmet, theyve probably been using that costume for awhile at that dealership, and the helmet has a voice changer to make the guy inside sound more robotic for talking.
Christ if it weren't for the whiny final fantasy/kingdom hearts fans, we would be THE biggest group of whiners as a whole in regards to a fan base.
Probably why I hardly log in and look at the forums anymore. I'm getting sick of all the complaining. This place has become pretty much just a news source for me.

What the heck are you talking about? This place is one of the more positive and upbeat boards, actually.
There will always be negative whiners, on all of the boards, but the positive folks far outweigh on here.
You want bitterness, sarcasm, negative jackassness? Give TFW a spin. Someone's ALWAYS got something negative to say, always picking apart every finely detailed thing. They can't get through their day without crapping on someone's parade.
Try TFW for a WEEK, come back here, and then talk to me about negativity.
Don't even try the ALLSpark...you'll just want to run your head through a thresher.

Hey! Show some respect! He was kickin' it old skool long before the advent of talking helmets and well thought out cardboard costumes.
He was a box, and he turned into...Nothing! But he did so with honor. Dignity, dammit!

It's a great costume, I'm not saying it isn't. I just think it's odd to go through all the work to make it then not give the same effort into making the head. He probably found out they were releasing a Bumblebee helmet while he was making it and decided to just paint the Prime helmet till then.

Wait, you mean when you started this topic the OP automatically ended up on the news page as well as the forums? I thought that was a completly different page with a completly different method of posting.

It is. He's saying the HTML coding doesn't work on the boards and vice versa. As soon as he posted the news article, he copied everything but the HTML and posted it here in the forums as well. He simply added a link to the video itself.

I don't mean to sound rude but do you even know what we're talking about? From the sound of it either I'm greatly missunderstanding you or you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.
1. "HTML coding doesn't work on the boards and vice versa."
Well by adding "vice versa" to the end of the statement you're implying that it doesn't work on the news page either when in fact it does. As for the rest of it I allready knew it doesn't work here I was the one that pointed it out.
2. "As soon as he posted the news article, he copied everything but the HTML and posted it here in the forums as well."
Assumeing you're right that he posted the news article first and then started this topic I can't say for sure wheather or not that is true or faulse the rest of the statement is faulse either way.
You said he posted everything here EXCEPT the HTML code which makes me wonder, do you even know what an HTML code is sence you think there isn't one here.
I quoted this from the first post, it's an HTML code. So you exsplain to me why you seem to think that it isn't there.
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yG8CUHGb1Y4&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yG8CUHGb1Y4&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
A web page that actully suports HTML codeing will insted show the video right on the page in place of all that gibberish.
3. "He simply added a link to the video itself."
And now you're apperently seeing things that aren't there. He posted a link in his last reply to me but there was no link in the original post.

To clarify, any posts that we make on the front page we are required to start in the forums first, that way people come in off the main page and join in on the discussion.
So, we start the post in the forum and hit a button that only News Crew members have that copies it and creates it for the front page.
When posting a video I'll enter an embedding code that won't show up in the forum but does in fact translate when it hits the main page.
I hope this clears it up for you. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Misunderstanding me. I wasn't exactly clear on it and threw my response together.

What I meant to say was "HTML doesn't work on the boards, and board coding doesn't work on web pages." I rushed through it and didn't clarify.

He posts the same story here and in the news pages. Copy and paste saves a lot of time and trouble, rather than having to type it up twice.
Yes, I do know what HTML coding is, and admittedly, I wasn't paying much attention to the first post, merely the information IN it, what it was about, not how it was constructed. It was merely a mistake on my part about not paying attention to the HTML coding. (I'm so used to it being posted, not working, and not mattering, that I ignore it.)
Do us all a favor and put your attitude in check, Princess Cupcake. No one owes you anything. If anything, you deserve a slap across the face for being disrespectful. If you talked to someone like this in person, they'd knock you out.

That's right. I said he added a link, I didn't specify where. I shouldn't have to. Common sense goes a long way here, Chief. He did, in fact, add a link to the video itself. That's a statement of fact. It doesn't say where, it doesn't say when, simply that he did it.
Now, you're just nitpicking to pick. And you're looking like a douche about it.
You're missing one very important thing here.
Seibertron.com and the boards are two separate entities that are tied together with expert craftsmanship.
Seibertron.com is a WEBSITE, and it uses HTML (among others.)
Energon Pub (owned and controlled by Seibertron) is a message board, and it uses board coding, NOT HTML. They tied the two together, seamlessly to make it feel like one cohesive unit.
Obviously you missed that part. So why don't you go have a sit down, and shut up? Mmmkay? Great.

Oho! See? They post it, then copy it. Whether it goes to the board or news section first, doesn't matter. They copy it, rather than write up twice. That's why they post code that doesn't work on the boards. It's a matter of convenience, not a personal jab at you.
I read your sig and wonder if the account you're talking about was banned (due to actions like you pulled today), and you're just about to get this one in trouble as well.
Next time you want to run your mouth, don't. Put a lid on it.
BBCode to HTML Converter
This web-based utility converts BBCode to HTML. The most common use for a utility like this is to easily convert forum posts using BBCode to standard HTML for use in traditional web pages. This utility currently supports all of the BBCode tags used by phpBB and a list of these tags can be found below. Unlike some convertors, this will generate proper paragraph tags (instead of just using a lot of line breaks), and takes advantage of CSS declarations for font sizes, colors, and more (as opposed to their depreciated HTML tag counterparts). There are also several options available.

Rial (and everyone else), if you have a query regarding the posting of news articles or you think something's had bad code posted incorrectly pm one of the Admin's instead of cluttering up threads and dragging them off topic.
