A little something more:

*Picture no longer available*

**EDIT**

Ok, so that image is gone, but I have a whole gallery to show you now:

Definitely do not like Arcee, she looks like some kind of bat bot. Megatron, stingray/hammerhead jet mode? And the name Troopers sounds more like a grunt foot solider name (like the Sweeps). Others looks decent though.

Breaking news! The San Diego Comic-Con 2010 features a giant sized Transformers: Prime Optimus Prime in robot mode, which you can see here!

Wow, G1 with some curve action going on. Sorta of a cross between G1 and Animated Prime. Can't wait to see the others.

Since I lack cable, I was not able to watch the Animated series. I also miss out on Batman Brave and Bold. I will also miss out on this Prime series. But if its good I will get the dvd release.

I'm gonna probably download episodes, since I don't have cable either. That's how I was able to watch Animated (which is a great series).

I'm pretty sure the Marvel and Dreamwave comics had Sentinel Prime before Optimus Prime, but Zeta Prime now is?  I got the first IDW comics collection, and in Spotlight: Blurr, they mention a Zeta Prime, but I don't see what would've been so wrong with keeping the Prime legacy.  Not that anyone really cares about any Primes before Optimus, I'm just saying the convolution is unnecessary.

Yeah but wasn't Alpha Trion the one who passed the Matrix down to Optimus Prime according to G1 (specifically "Five Faces Of Darkness Part 4")?

And after seeing the Sentinal Prime in TFA, I dunno if I could handle seeing that name again, even if in any other series he wasn't nearly as much of a pompous ass monkey.

From what I know, it (like War For Cybertron) is suppose to be a prequel to G1. My problem with War For Cybertron is that while it is nice to have some idea of what happened prior to G1, I would rather the story be told from G1's perspective instead. It's like we waited 25 years to find out what happend before G1. In which case, War For Cybertron has lots of contradictions to G1 (plot-wise, character-wise), even though the story itself is good (although the Decepticons story does sound very credible).

I have a feeling TF:P will be like that. The story itself will probably be great, but connecting it to G1 is gonna be a problem I think. But on the downside, seeing how the beginning of "More Than Meets The Eye" made it appear as the Autobots was losing, struggling for survival, I'd hate to see that as the ending for TF:P.

Well, Takara in Japan *did* make a Mickey Mouse that turned into a semi, and a Donal Duck that turned into a Volkswagen Beetle...

Yeah, that's rather creepy and it's best we all forget that ever existed >_>

That is quite interesting how the color scheme matches, and it does make me look at Transformers differently. Even more so, Link & Springer because Springer had a sword in TF:TM.

Although I gotta say, Kirby & Unicron = LMAO!!

I just watched a couple videos, and I must say that is beyond awesome. It gives the player a general idea of what's gonna be played out through the game so they can plan out their own strategy in comparison to the player's gameplay. Only downside is the characters are too small to see, so keeping an eye on them while viewing the rest of the map can be a bit tricky.

Gaming / Re: Pokemon Darkcry Version?

5th gen (coming soon)
Original: Black/White

I would laugh totally if an enhanced version would be called "Pokemon Gray"

Still kinda curious about this game actually. Platinum is the last one I played (though I am mapping out Ruby/Sapphire, very slowly I might add).

I haven't really played that many DC games that I can remember, though there are a few that I would like to try. D2, that survival horror/RPG game, I saw a friend play it and I thought it might be fun.

I gotta say this is beyond awesome. I am amazed that you could map this game out, because didn't know if it would be easier than mapping out SMB.

VGMaps Social Board / Re: Well, they've finally blocked access to VGMaps.com at work...

« on: February 23, 2010, 11:55:37 am »

But what is odd is that while gaming sites that don't necessarily have games (again, like GameFAQs) are blocked because they are still categorized under "Games"

GameFAQs also has several forums where people do post some NWS stuff, which could easily be seem inappropriate. Not only that, but certain ads, if you click on them, can lead to other links that leads to porn. This has been a big issue over there, and all one can do is report the ads.

This is just a total guess about it, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

TF:A Is definitely worth watching, even though there will be plenty of plotholes left unanswered. Lots of great action, comedy, drama and tons of awesome references to past Transformers, especially G1.
