Transformers 3 gets a release date

2009-03-17T19:43:00.006+01:00

Wow, I've been a month away and look what kind of good news I brought. :) Transformers 3 is really going to happen and has a release date. Variety says this:

Paramount and DreamWorks are forging ahead with "Transformers 3," dating the movie for release on July 1, 2011.

It's the first word of the three-quel, although Paramount insiders downplayed the importance of the move.
They said the studio wanted to claim the date before a competitor did, considering that the 2011 summer release calendar is filling up.

Teaser trailer for the game Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I never really had the chance to play the first one, made for the first Transformers movie, but I think it looked good.

IGN released a trailer for this new game which will be released for the Nintendo Wii, PS3, XBox 360, PC, PS2, Nintendo DX and PSP. It's only a teaser trailer, so we can expect a full trailer soon. Check it out below:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen one-sheet poster

2009-01-09T23:53:00.002+01:00

Just nice and a plain simple Transformers poster. It's the first one-sheet of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It was released on Yahoo! Movies yesterday.

Michael Bay commented about it on his website:

“Okay it’s time to turn up the heat on Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen. We’ve waited low in the weeds letting all the summer movies get their stuff out. We’ve seen the great year end movies, and watched the upcoming clips of the upcoming summer fare. We’ve seen certain movies coming out even try to duplicate Transformer size robots in their ads. Please, come on. Well, I promise you we will rock your world with Transformers 2. The fans wanted ROBOTS KICKING ASS - well we got it. Today we are releasing the teaser poster and soon the onslaught will continue with a steady drum beat until June 26th.”

Are those 'certain movies' Terminator Salvation or it's just me?

Transformers 2 trailer in February 2009

2008-12-12T20:39:00.003+01:00

Michael Bay has confirmed in a post on his message board that the trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will hit in February, either in movie theaters or attached to the Superbowl. Bay also says that theatrical teaser posters will hit shortly after the new year. The Bay-produced Friday the 13th remake hits theaters on February 13th 2009, but that seems like a really odd fit for the teaser:

"Hey everyone. Back from Egypt and Jordan - we had a wonderful shoot over there. I will miss the crew they were an amazing bunch of people and a lot of fun. I’m stuck in the edit room up to my eye balls - also finished producing Friday the 13th and The Unborn - coming out the after the new year. Our Trailer for Transformer you have been asking about - First there will be a teaser poster soon after the new year, and the teaser trailer will be out either in the theaters early Feb. or on the Superbowl. Cannot decide yet. I’m going to release some set stills on this site in a few weeks. I’ll keep you informed. Going back to do more selects now from my portable avid that I take home from work. It’s late, see you."

Transformers producer Don Murphy has also commented on his message board saying that they are planning to hold off on the big marketing push the film until the final stretch.

“We’re kind of trying to follow the PIRATES OF CARIBBEAN model, that is, no publicity for as long as possible, since the sequel will have enormous attention no matter what we do.”

Episode of the day: "Enter the Nightbird" (G1)

2008-12-07T12:16:00.003+01:00

I enjoy the second season more than the first. Nevertheless, season one has also great episodes. So, this is the tenth episode of the second season, called "Enter the Nightbird". It introduces a female ninja robot made by a Japanese (who else?) scientist, which the Decepticons are about to steal and use it for their own evil purpose.

Here's the short info:

The Autobots attend the unveiling of Nightbird, a human-built “female ninja robot,” by invitation from the robot’s creator, Dr. Fujiyama. Predictably, the Decepticons attack and immediately have the upper hand because the Autobots won’t fight in a hall crowded with humans. Starscream and the other Seekers steal the robot, and the other Decepticons take off.

Apologetic for their abject failure to protect the robot, Optimus promises to return it back to Dr. Fujiyama quickly and unharmed.

The Transformers: Infiltration (comics)

2008-12-01T13:38:00.004+01:00

Couple of weeks ago, I came across this wonderful comic, (ran from October 2005 to the summer of 2006) set in the re-booted Transformers G1 universe of IDW Publishing. I like everything about it. The writing is great, maybe it has too much 'techno-babble', but it's bearable and understandable. It's important to say that is aimed for more older audience which is definitely to be praised.

We have all the known characters, set in a Earth where they're trying to hide from the humans using holographic drives when in Autobot form. But, due to a tricky circumstances, a band of human teenagers gets involved in the neverending battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

This wonderfull mini-serie is made of a six issues, which reperesents a beginning of a saga that continues with few more mini-series. About the rest, in near future. It's also important to mention that The Transformers: Infiltration is written by a long-time Transformers fan and writer - Simon Furman.

Highly recommended for Transformers and comic book fans!

Trying new stuff: Armada, Cybertron & Energon

2008-11-19T22:18:00.003+01:00

At least, I'll keep myself out of the series Armada and Cybertron. I was looking to watch something else than G1 and these were the first to enter my viewing area, scarring it forever. I saw the first episodes of the shows above and they suck. Big time.

Armada is way too much childish for me (I know, it's a kids' toon, but I enjoy cartoons in general, so..) and that's it. Little children would love it, but big older kids (20 something) like myself - no way.

Cybertron could be fun if it's not for those 3D-like renders which I despise. It's awful and it's runing the show. I found the plots (even the script-writing is better) not so numb, but those renders are giving me the creeps. I'll pass.

Energon... Well, Energon is something different. Not too childish, no 3D. It's pure anime and I love the look of it. I'll give this one a chance. The first impression was positive.

What smells fishy about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?

2008-11-15T16:23:00.004+01:00

I liked the Transformers movie from last years and I'm very excited about the sequel which is coming out next year. Here's the article from WorstPreviews.com:

TFW2005 has confirmed that Alice, played by Isabel Lucas in the upcoming "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," is a Pretender robot. Alice is an attractive girl who befriends Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) in college. Unfortunately, she is a Transformer hiding inside a human-shaped shell.

Here is how one source describes Alice: "In the case of Alice, the shell will be an attractive human woman while the inner robot is best described as a hybrid of the Frenzy robot design from the first movie. The Pretender Transformer will have an arm that transforms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scanning tentacle."

Recently a set video, featuring a scene being shot in Princeton University, has appeared supporting the claim that Alice is a Pretender. Watch below as she walks calmly across the campus as students are rushing passed her in panic.

Pretenders is a subline within the Transformers toy line, introduced in 1988. The gimmick was that the Transformers were supposedly capable of disguising their robotic forms through the use of synthetic organic outer shells.

Episode of the day: "Heavy Metal War" (G1)

2008-11-15T13:06:00.003+01:00

One of my favorite Transformers G1 episodes is the first season finale, "Heavy Metal War". It marks an appearance of one of the coolest Decepticons, the Devastator, combined by the Constructicons. I have a Devastator toy, I'll post some photos soon.

Check out the short info on the episode. In future I'll try to provide a link when you'll be able to watch the episodes.

A busy construction site is attacked by driver-less construction equipment, and several components are stolen. The construction vehicles return to Decepticon headquarters and are revealed to be the newly built Constructicons. The components they stole are parts to a machine that will allow Megatron to absorb the power chip rectifiers from his Decepticon warriors.

While the final preparations are completed on the machine, Megatron flies to Autobot headquarters and makes Optimus Prime an offer he can't refuse. Megatron offers the Autobot leader a one on one battle with the winner staying on Earth to do as he pleases, and the loser taking his army and exiling themselves to deep space. Prime, confident in his own abilities, accepts the challenge and sets the match.

25 Years of Transformers - New Smokescreen toy

I just saw this at Seibertron. There will be a new line of toys for the 25th anniversary of Transformers. I looks quite good and it comes in a deluxe pack. I'd really like to see how does the Optimus Prime toy looks like.

Here's Smokescreen packed.

Transformed...

Transform and roll out

Hello everybody!

This is my blog dedicated to one of the best things that TV had to offer to this day. My first experience with the Transformers was the old TV show made in the 80's, known as Transformers G1. I know it's a silly toy line commercial but it played a significant role in my childhood and it's a graceful part of my life.
