Bayverse Grimlock Toy Appeared in one of the Worst Films of 2019

That was one HELL of a random (but epic) thread necro!

Honestly, this bit of news seems more like it belongs in a bit of trivia from TFWiki than it does a news article. Feels as pointless as using Rotten Tomatoes these days.

Well, with all that sh!t hitting the fan lately, everyone is grasping at straws to keep our minds off the grim reality...

These comments are rather insulting. I take my time to write articles for all of us to enjoy.

Well there is news about concept art from bumblebee, the card game, burning convoy happening...buuuuuuuut I’m sure those will get covered 2 weeks after every other site has covered them like the standard seibertorn news lately. Let’s focus on this obscurity. Should we talk about Nautilator being in The Disaster Artist or was that an already obscure article when that happened?

If you have time to help us write those articles, Randomhero, please write me a PM and I can show you the ropes. Would be glad to have you on our team.

And yes, if someone had sent in about Nautilator, we would have newsed it. We usually news such things.

Age of Extinction toys are pretty cool.The gimmicks are simple,but they really add to the playability of these figures.






Day 86 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I see what you did there...

It's like how the G1 Starscream toy appeared in Top Gun.

Or how Son of the Mask had a scene where the baby watches an episode of Transformers: Armada.

Do you know why I prefer this website over all the other ones? Because unlike most of the other sites, people here generally maintain positive attitudes, treat each other civilly and aren't rude. Very seldom does a thread breakdown into insults and whining.

This, I despise the current trend of the majority of fandom sites being populated with negativity.

This was a great article Will, I did not know about this guest star appearance from our orange Dinosaur, it's always neat seeing things you recognize in movies regardless of the quality of the actual movie/show.

I didn't.

But now I do!

On a side note, is this article "irrelevant"?
Basically, yes, but it did put a big wide smile on my face and that count for a lot.

Oh crikey, a movie directed by Limp Bizkit. I can see no way that can possibly have been a colossal trainwreck.

In any event, thanks for still keeping us entertained with TF trivia even in these dark times. Lord knows we need some laughs at the moment. Stay safe.

Honestly a year ago maybe but now? No way. Not after seeing three $@&?ing articles in a week theorizing the WFC Quintesson after it was listed in the rumors. Three articles in a week span. That’s a joke.

Been going here for over a decade and the last couple years have really shown how muddled and inconsistent the staff in here is where once or twice a year a call for staff is asked. That raises eyebrows especially with some staff memebers that shouldn’t be staff. Only thing that ever made me come here was the comics but the reviews for the comics the past year have been the most toxic thing I’ve read. From the get go constantly comparing them to Roberts comics in the past iterations to blatantly not giving the stories a chance. Last good damn reviewer was Va’al because that person actually reviewed the comics in an unbiased honest view then followed by a year of “don’t care if it’s not good it’s by James Roberts. 5/5 call me biased I don’t care.” Such trash. I was done contributing to comic discussion after seeing that for months on end

I appreciate the no 3rd party news because that garbage ends up taking over sites but that’s literally the only positive I can say anymore.

Thanks, much appreciated. Just wanted to have some fun with you all. The discussion on Facebook took a fun turn when people started remembering all the other times TF toys appeared randomly in shows, like when a Beast Wars toy appeared in the Fresh Prince or G1 Shockwave being used as a machine prop in Aliens.

Also, initially I wanted to write it in a tongue and cheek manner and say Bayverse Grimlock appeared in a worse film than The Last Knight. But then I saw that this terrible Limp Biskit film actually scored higher

@Blackhat, Limp Biskit actually puts a scene where a Limp Biskit song comes on the radio and a character goes "man, this music is the best". I could not believe such a moment happened.

You do good work Will, keep it up.

Thanks for the article, Will! It's really cool to see stuff like this. The only other example of things like this I remember is G1 Optimus on the cover of Spaceballs: the coloring book. I also could've sworn I saw some sort of Optimus figure in Tomorrowland but I've never verified that.

I for one don't usually bother with other TF fansites, so better late than never.

The earliest example of a random movie appearance by a TF toy that I can remember is The Great Outdoors (1988): one of John Candy's sons is playing with Six Shot on the couch.

But my second recollection is another Travolta movie: Look Who's Talking Now! There's a scene in a mall where you can see the G2 Constructions in the background. Add in the scene in Look Who's Talking Too where the babies comment on TV commercials for Wrestling Buddies and the Hammerhead ("I want the Cobra Camerahead!") and Kirstie Alley's presence in all 3, and the film series feels like a co-production of Hasbro and Scientology!

Getting a movie made can produce strange bedfellows, and spotting the subtext can make even the sh!tt!est movie genuinely entertaining. I'll probably watch Fanatic if I come across it now.

And if I ever acquire the Hammerhead, I'll have my ReAction Pulp Fiction Vincent figure pilot it next to a custom Kirstie Alley Viper!

Thank you so much Leo

I watched Stuckmann's review of this movie. My gawd don't I want to watch it.
I don't.

But cool and absolutely strange. I'd love to know the reason for movie Grimlock to be in the movie. As well as the broken Seacon in The Disaster Artist (great film!).

Please continue to bring obscure triva news articles here.

Seibertron is my n1 and only TF news site I go to. Great articles, news updates and I love your Top 5 best *** Transformer.

Keep up the great work and I hope you guys are doing good!

ps. Is the custom / fan made news article still a thing?
I've been 3d modeling and printing for years now and actually have a few
Transformers guns that I made (Armada toyline suffered from not having guns)
And I made about 3 Transformers myself (of course they are mostly parts formers due to the size)

Thanks for the kind words and yes the custom news is still a thing. We write one every month or two.

By the way, this article sparked a fun discussion on Facebook where everyone started posting other fun TF toy appearances in shows and films throughout the years.
