    Another one of those custom Cyclonus figures just went up for auction. This one says it's all metallic. That's the first I heard they did one like that. http://cgi.ebay.com/TRANSFORMERS-Movie-Han...1QQcmdZViewItem First bid is an inexpensive $185.

    Japanese classics aren't cheap. The BBTS preorders have the voyagers for 42.99 and the deluxes for 24.99.

    I completely agree. I'm about to make a rash generalization. Transformer fans are relentlessly nitpicky to the point that they suck *all* of the fun out of any TF conversation. Don't be foolish like me and say that you're happy because these colors are more toon accurate and that bodes well for a G1 colored Megatron because you'll receive a snarky correction that there was never a Classics cartoon.

    Japanese Classics Optimus, Bumble Bee and Grimlock's paint schemes: http://tformers.com/transformers-1st-look-.../8781/news.html The allspark seems to be bemoaning these as too boring. Personally I like them because they're doing what I wanted/expected, applying more G1ish paint apps to the molds. This bodes *very* well for the Megatron and Astrotrain repaints.

    I thought the rotoscoping effect was terrible. It did have some neat shots though. The "big foot" hobbit shot was something PJ used in Fellowship which was a direct homage.

    I wish I hadn't read this.

    That was my initial impression, but I was hoping there was something that I missed.

    See Pan's Labyrinth before Hellboy. Hellboy's more comic bookish, good, but, it's just not near the unique and as well done fairy tale experience that Pan is. Plus you'll see why a couple of us think del Toro's better for the Hobbit director chair because of how he handled Pan.

    Spiderman 3 vs Pan's Labyrinth vs Children of Men? Is that the question? Sorry, that's just the way it comes to mind for me, and given that initial impulse, I'd have to go with del Toro.

    I'm wondering about the functionality with the tires being so large that'd really kill the manueverability, wouldn't it? Ok, there's a military mechanically inclined lot here at MW, so speculate. Why does it look the way it does?

    I was hoping Lemmiwinks would rerail the thread, but it looks like he gave the wrong answer to Cat-atta-fish's riddle. Gollum really creeped me out when I was a little kid. It's still a product of its time, but I like it, and yes, it's pretty much a musical. Out of all the 70's cartoon material to be made about the LOTR universe, this one's the best, imo.

    The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.... Carry on Lemmiwinks or you'll soon be dead!

    Hey, I deserved more of a barb than that! One of the movies I ordered is Frankenstein Conquers the World.

    Exactly what I was thinking. It's filmed dark, but not *that* dark. Blade Runner is one of those movies that, like a classic book assignment that I would put off as long as possible, that when I do immerse myself in it, I wonder why the hell I was so apprehensive. I guess it's some of that pretentiousness it posesses that does that to me. It knows it's "smart" at times, I can't deny that. I also can't deny that when I'm done, I've watched a good science fiction movie that's hit on multiple levels of the human condition and that I think we need more movies/stories done with this attitude in mind.

    As a science fiction movie nerd, this is what I should have bought myself for Christmas..... Instead, I just spent $70 on standard DVD Toho films..... Yes, I await the barbs. Eventually I'll get this.

    Did you say unreashed?

    I'm ecstatic about this news. The chances of the Hobbit having the same tone/look as the LOTR movies is much higher now. Leonard Nimoy's ecstatic about the news too! Just see

    It's been a long time since I saw Omega Man, but didn't it end with one of Chuck Heston's trademark death scenes?
  21. Alpha OTS
    That's about the best we can hope for in a good movie in this mixed universe too.

    There's a bunch of xbox live gamer tags in the xbox thread, although I doubt most of them have this game. Mine is "Qaztab", but lately I've been mainly playing this offline to get all the various medals/achievements. As for when you should try online, try it anytime. People fly completely different from the ones in the game, which are easy to nail in comparison. Fighting online will make you a far better campaign player. Speaking of which, I'm going for the attacker medal and the flying fortress level is ridiculously easy with an A-10 armed with RCL's. Even on Ace difficulty, by the time the Strigons show up, I've taken out two of the smaller fortresses and am focusing on the third. By the time Strigon gets their wits about them that they should focus on me, I ally cover and sometimes ally assault them, and they never get anywhere near. Factor in the super machine gun and the superior yawing ability of the A-10, and it's even more-so a piece of cake.

    Warmachine on allspark customized a classics Ultra Magnus into something more fitting the name. They're' selling it here. It seems like a pretty simple to add paint scheme. Although I wonder if there's a better/cheaper way to kitbash the head. From his description: "CUSTOM TRANSFORMERS CLASSICS ULTRA MAGNUS G1 STYLE. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE, BUT THIS IS MY VERSION OF HIM. ANYWAY, I FABRICATED A NEW HEAD FROM THE ONE HE CAME WITH BUY GRINDING AND TRIMMING OUT THE EYES AND FACESHEILD AND USING CLASSICS JETFIRES FACE INSTEAD. THEN I CUSTOM PAINTED HIM TO RESEMBLE G1 ULTRA MAGNUS FROM THE ORIGINAL 1980`S TOON. I DIDN`T BOTHER WITH ALT MODE PICS BECAUSE HE LOOKS THE EXACT SAME WAY AS HE DID BEFORE. I ACTUALLY LIKE IT LIKE THAT. THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT LOOK ANY DIFFERENT IS THAT THE EXAUST PIPES ARE NOW WHITE AND SILVER AS OPPOSED TO ALL BLACK." Lots more pics here:http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m296/Wa...Ultra%20Magnus/

    These figures were adult owned by me in a smoke free home. They were displayed on a shelf for a long duration before being retired to a box in a closet. So this is your opportunity to obtain some excellent Transformers! Please give them a good home!

    I'd probably entertain buying some of these new planes if they grouped them together into packs. The pricing structure as is is simply absurd. I don't know what they're thinking.
