Transformers News and Updates

This is all things transformers episode 1 recorded

August 9th 2008 Transformers. I'm your host Steve

slash Megatron. The purpose of this podcast is

to feature discussions with other possible hosts

and fans on the Transformers as a whole. We will

also feature some small transformer related news

tidbits but we'll leave most of that to various

other TF podcasts such as TF Wire and TF Anonymous.

In case you're wondering, yes I am the same Steve

slash Megatron from the TF Wire War Stories podcast.

Hopefully I'll do a little bit better than I

did in that series. In any case, I will also

be launching my own versions of War Stories called

Battle Protocol, which will be a PredaconEmpire

.com production. And yes, I also own that long

-running TF site. We are in the progress of adding

more Tori reviews, Teletran entries, which are

profiles and character analysis, and various

other audio and video clips to the site. But

I digress. This episode will be a short one as

I'm recording solo this week. This podcast may

or may not be a weekly slash bi -weekly series.

It'll all depend on your input. I will also try

to get possible guest hosts on the show from

other TF podcasts and fans who'd like to participate

in roundtable discussion topics. We will also

feature listener questions, but obviously since

this is the first episode we won't have any.

Anyways, onto the news. First up this week is

a new Transformer Generation 1 game. It's a limited

time demo on Glu Mobile, also transformersmobile

.com. It's loosely based off the Transformer

Generation 1 mythos and I actually played the

demo on there. It's pretty fun. The demo It's

obviously very pixelized because it's a colored

phone But at the same time when it shows those

close -ups and they're speaking it resembles

the Dreamwave IDW designs for the heads Second

up is Bernie Mac dead at age 50 the actor -comedian

passed away early Saturday morning is Death they're

saying had to do with pneumonia its most recent

role for a transformer fans that knew him he

was Bobby Bolivia the used car salesman sold

Sam bumblebee some of his other well -known roles

were in the oceans movies up next is transformers

revenge the fallen is halted shooting for four

weeks due to Shia LaBeau's hand injury so they're

currently filming other aspects of the movie

at this time and there's no indication currently

on the delay or the effect on the film. Rumor

from chud .com reports that Transformer movie

Megatron to return as a tank. This is mostly

just rumor right now as the director and producers

and everyone associated with the transformer

movie are purposely leaking false information

so until we hear anything official this should

just be treated as a rumor has anyone seen that

new transformer movie mystery car? well that

mystery car is a corvette centennial design it's

currently in the concept model it is released

upon the hundred -year anniversary of GM which

could have something to do with why it looks

so funky and doesn't really resemble a Corvette.

They're saying that it's supposed to be a cross

between past, present, and their future on GM

designs. Up next is Chevy officially releases

details on the Bumblebee Camaro. Apparently Chevy

is planning to unveil the Camaro to showroom

floors in early spring of next year. The car

is to range under 50 ,000. It's also going to

have an LS, LT, and SS model. The LS and LT will

feature a 3 .6 liter V6 engine. The SS will have

two different versions. One will be in six -speed

automatic, 6 .2 liter V8, the other one would

be a manual transmission 6 .2 liter V8 engine

this car will get between 23 and 26 miles to

the gallon which is pretty damn good for a sports

car but wish I could afford it but I'll at least

get to drive one because I work at a Chevy dealership

well that's all for the the news week and Again,
