  1. Toei has a long history with Marvel. Toei was Marvel's farm animation company during the 80's; they animated episodes of Spiderman ("The Capture of Captain America") & Spiderman and his Amazing Friends 2nd season ("Along Came Spidey", "The Ice-Man Cometh", & "A Firestar is Born"), G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Transformers, & Dungeons and Dragons. Toei also animated Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned based on Marvel's Tomb of Dracula series. The Japanese Spiderman live action was also produced by Toei..

  2. really? an anime exist on one of my favorite retro game series!! i still play salamander in my downtime. let me know how you like it. i may want to pick it up.

    Do a search on YouTube; Anime Classic Reviews channel has all three chapters..

  3. Based on what's been shown at the UK ToyFair this week, some stuff seems 99% confirmed, and some stuff seems "likely, as there probably isn't much mis-information going on at that place". So, we now know (probably) that:

    The Lamborghini Aventador is

    Lockdown

    And the fan-rage-inducing (once it becomes more widely known) identity of the grey cabover truck is the evil Decepticon

    Ultra Magnus

    Months ago the producers said people wouldn't be happy when it was revealed---and boy were they right!

    (of course, that brings up the point---if you know your target audience won't like it that far in advance---why do it in the first place? With how little most Bayformers resemble their G1 namesakes, why even use the names at all? Either use more appropriate ones, or make up new ones.)

    If the "new" Star Trek movies had "Kirk, the evil Klingon doctor"-----a lot of fans wouldn't take that well. This isn't quite to that level, but it IS really, really messing with an established, iconic character.

    Or maybe they'll pull a reverse Sentinel Prime with him. But that'd seem even worse somehow, frankly lazy/cheap, since we just saw it in the last movie.

    I prefer the Diaclone names: Convoy or Powered Convoy..
  4. Aside from the organic shaped armor I don't see how the insect Vajira and crab Invid mecha look anything alike. None of the Invid mecha had thoraces, wings, segmented eyes or antennas of insects. On top of that all Invid mecha and the Invid foot soldiers themselves were shown with only two legs.

    It doesn't have to look exactly alike to remind me but hard shell foot soldiers being controlled in a hive mind with a queen does evoke images of the Invid..
