It's too awesome to not have a thread. Not just the new super kick ass movie, but even the 30 gigabytes of TV shows, and old movies I've recently pirated.

In honer to my current Transformers addiction relapse, I will be dedicating my next digital rendering to none other then... the Transformers. The only problem I am currently bent on is what and or who to illustrate? I was thinking about doing the new Optimus for nostalgic purposes but to be completely hoist when some one mentions Transformers the first thing that comes to mind is that big shinny transport truck. For this reason I feel I might create a clichéd artwork. This would not be good as I prefer to be original or slightly unique if at all possible. I'm also temped to start taking screen shots of the new movie, as that was among one of the many videos I downloaded.

Here a few options, though some of them may be out of my current illustration skills I'm still willing to dedicate at least several hours to this work (which isn't really too much when you see what is required).

Because this thread is not only to discuss my personal entrust in log lived Transformers I would like to point out that you're all totally free to discuss at will. I for one am almost in NEED to have a discussion about the new movie with an equily enthused transformers fan.

Going along with the discussion could be sharing,of photos and memory's of back in the day when all that mattered was how much longer it was until your next birthday or graduation, and ect. when you would receive another Transformers action figure for what was quickly becoming a collection.

I for one found something while looking for images to illustrate that invoked a frantic attic search: http://www.ncsx.com/2006/103006/Tuesday/mp4_convoy_01.jpg
yep, I have that one. and believe it or not I grew up with a guy who owned an original sound wave action figure...

So I'm sure many of you would love to have your very own Transformer, well by the looks of it they are getting ready to throw Bumble Bee out, so you better get on eBaY quick!

Come on people, comments, feed back.

How do you think Spielberg did? was it too goofy at times? did he leave enough room for another one? why did StarScream go back into space, why are the AudoBots "watching, waiting"

And, no. The beast wars was pathetic. They are ROBOTS. and thus they shalt remain.

I didn't like that they could change into anything they want...
It wasn't like that before

And heh, I thought *somehow* in the movie bumblebee was going to be the volks wagon bug that was sitting next to him in the car place...
Because bumblebee as you all probably know was a yellow volks wagon bug in the old cartoon... But it was kinda funny to see it sitting there next to him in the lot.

VW wouldn't alow any of their products to be involved in violence, even if it was just a movie. So GM went a head and bought all the rights to the AutoBots. That would explain why the bad guys Gardrail for example are like mustangs and so on. Just another way for GM to hose on them
