Transformers News: Animated, Universe, and Movie Updates

You're listening to All Things Transformers,

Episode 4, recorded Saturday, October 4, 2008.

Steve slash Megatron. I'm flying solo this episode,

not because Master Galvatron couldn't make it,

but because I had other plans for the day and

I had to get this done early. So let's I guess

get on to the news. First we're going to start

off with Transformers Animated. There's a new

Transformers Animated webisode online where it's

basically got Bumblebee and Prowl in it and they

end up breakdancing and Prowl ends up beating

Bumblebee which the clip is pretty annoying looking

Other than that I really can't describe it But

yeah, it's just I I don't see any reason to see

it. There's nothing about the plot or anything.

It's just random silliness Anyways, onto the

next thing. Transformers Animated Season 2 up

for pre -order at Amazon .com. It will be released

in... It says January 6, 2009 for $17 .99 on

Amazon. And it's probably the better out of the

two seasons, but I... probably just wait on it

and see how season three goes and then eventually

they'll have them as a box set so I'd probably

just wait until then or if you're really into

animated go ahead and buy it but I'll probably

be waiting. Up next is Activision updates their

Transformers animated video game and in this

they have This game kind of appears to be like

a Mega Man -esque game combined with the Transformer

Armada style. So it actually looks pretty damn

good for being a Nintendo DS game. And it allows

you to transform. It's kind of like a 3D platform

along with a side -scroller. And that's to be

released this month. Honestly, it looks like

a pretty damn good game. I'd probably pick it

up, but I don't have a Nintendo DS. So, I'm just

going to wait for feedback from all of you to

find out how well this game is. And then, there's

another article on Transformers Animated. 52Toys

.com has released new animation models of new

Transformer animated characters for season 3.

And these are also in the news area of the Predacon

Empire forums or at TFW 2005. The images are

of animated blackout Rodimus. Rodimus looks pretty

pretty much like his Transformer the movie self

except for the face kind of looks a little bit

different. It's kinda like they added a little

bit of an older look to look like Ultra Magnus,

kinda. Or a Prime -esque look. Blackout, he looks

like... similar to his movie self, but he looks

more bulky, kinda like Lugnut. And he's got a

pretty tiny head. Looks like an insect. Then

there's Strika, which has a... Very similar resemblance

to the strika and beast machines and the head

looks pretty similar as well Also, there is animated

spitter which looks kind of like a a shark decon

It's a shark decon or like a frog or something

it looks similar to that, but I'm not really

sure what that is On to the toy news. Transformers

Universe Ultra Storm Cloud released in the U

.S. It is available on Walmart or other American

stores such as that. Transformer animated leader

Ultra Magnus also has been released in the U

.S. So you should be able to pick that up and

find it anywhere in your local toy stores Also

coming out is the new universe 2 .0 Voyager of

Inferno He will be released in the new universe

line as well as This is kind of rolling on to

the next Article, but we have animated or the

universe pictures for Inferno as well as Cyclonus.

Cyclonus looks a lot better than his Generation

1 counterpart and he's got an actual target master

which is kind of nice. They have a pretty much

fully detailed figure that's show accurate. You

can get more information about that at TF08 .net.

And it appears that Takara Tomy is releasing

a US Edition Universe Power Glide. Silverbolt

and Onslaught in the US. And in those they will

be closer to their appearance on the original

cartoon, which I have no interest in picking

these up, but they're pretty nice looking. I

know you can order them off of like Robot Kingdom

or toyarena .com as well as Big Bad. And also

in universe news universe deluxe wave 3 iron

hide and side swipe are now Sighted in the United

States in your local toy stores. I personally

have seen a few of these as well as the Galvatron

and the Powerglide onslaught and the rest of

them So I know you can pick those up pretty much

anywhere now Also, there's a Repro Animated Prime

Axe which is found on eBay right now. Somebody

created a custom axe of Optimus Primes from the

TV show and it actually is pretty good looking.

It's shaped like it and it doesn't appear to

be colored. It looks like it is a translucent

color. so But that bidding ended and it went

for 20 bucks. I Don't know if there's any other

ones like that out there. I'd have to look but

I think there's Nope, there's not any for that

so looks like that is all gone There's new pictures

of on impossible toys of the new generation 1

alpha try on Krainix, Spike, and Daniel in their

Transformers the movie exosuits. Also are painted

images of Captain Fan Zone, Sari, and... I believe

that's all they have right now. I'd have to go

back and check on that. New images of Transformers

animated Jetfire and Jetstorm. Now at first I

looked at these and the figures looked like ass.

to begin with and so I was reading and it appears

that the creator of the figures said that whoever

transformed them in the pictures didn't transform

them correctly and so it appears that they do

not have hands and I guess that they're supposed

to do something when they're combined and look

a certain way and they didn't combine it right

so I'd probably wait for some better pictures

of that to surface before making a decision on

that, but I personally would not be picking these

up. On to movie news. The movie is to be filming

in Tuckson International Airport on October 6th.

It will involve a scene with airport and travelers.

It appears to be Well, it appears that that site

is absent of information at the moment But I'm

sure that some will surface by the time this

has been filmed Up next is I'm seeing that Michael

Bay is to be filming key scenes or three scenes

from Revenge of the Fallen in IMAX It says that

so that he can release the movie in IMAX as well

as in regular theaters at the same time and make

certain scenes look better I personally hope

that these scenes are some big -ass action scenes

something that's really worthy of the IMAX and

I hope it's not anymore like a few minute extra

clips added in of just humans Because what we

really want to see is the robots in the show.

So hopefully that that is what they decide to

show us is Maybe a big scene in the Fallen fighting

Prime or Megatron or Megatron battling It'd be

really awesome to see a bunch of them attacking

Instead of just one or two. So hopefully that

is those three scenes are very very cool in other

transformer 2 news The Hummer H3 truck is spotted

again in Phoenix, Arizona. There's more detailed

pictures of the doors with the logos on them

now as well as it says something about the nest

on it and Not sure what this is maybe it's another

Sector 7 branch that nobody knew about That is

or that could be the new Sector 7 name considering

Simmons is back in this movie So there's a lot

of speculation on that. So hopefully nothing

Hopefully it's not a hidden transformer in there

or maybe it is Sector 7's transformers never

know and the last of the TF2 news is Shia LaBeaux

has had stitches on the set of the new Transformer

movie it comes from TMZ .com where he says that

a prop of the set cut below his eyebrow and required

stitches and says that he went right back to

the movie so apparently it wasn't too bad but

damn he just keeps getting hurt throughout the

entire movie He's already screwed up his hand,

now his eyebrow, what's next? Hopefully nothing

bad. Well, and on Reprolabels .com they have

new animated upgrade stickers for all the Transformer

animated figures as well as RC and the WST Devastator.

Stickers are of the symbols and other items that

go on their face or just something to make them

look similar to the TV show. And the last article

I have here is TFCon 2009 is announced. It will

be April 25th in Toronto. No information yet

on when BotCon will be or any other information

on TFCon other than that it will be in Toronto

April 25th in 2009. So that's all for the news

for this week. I was going to do the Ask Megatron

section for the episode of the podcast but nobody

submitted anything yet nor has anybody submitted

any listener questions. which we'd love to have.

We'd love to be able to answer them for you,

but nobody submitted anything yet. So I guess

we'll just probably hopefully get some by the

next episode, which I'm not sure when that will

be because I'm in the process of moving right

now. So hopefully we should be back in probably

two weeks for the next episode. Now hopefully

that gives enough time for everybody to ask questions

or just make comments or if you want to join

in and have a roundtable episode feel free to

post that in the forums on PredaconEmpire .com

and post it in the All Things Transformers area

or if you'd like to send us some feedback comments

or listener questions send them to the All Things

Transformers area in the Predacon Empire forums.

or send them to podcast at PredaconEmpire .com

and I will be able to get them and post them

on the site for viewing in the next episode if

you really like this episode well not this particular

one because obviously it's a much better when

I have a co -host yeah so if you like the All

Things Transformers and would like to you know

see it continue or would like to contribute in

any way or if you have an idea for your own podcast

that you'd like us to launch under the Predacon

Empire then go ahead and send me any information

to podcast at PredaconEmpire .com and I'll get

back to you. For now all we have is updates on

the Predacon Empire site which is currently We're

still getting updates. It's a little slow right

now because I'm still packing and everything.

We're constantly adding toy reviews. I'm going

to be adding some music and sound clips soon

and a soundtrack for the original 1986 movie,

fully downloadable on the site. I plan to add

some more G1 comics of Marvel for download since

those I've seen have been popular. I know I need

to update quite a few other areas on the site,

just haven't had time for it. If there's anything

that you'd like to see us review that we may

have, or if there's anything that you'd like

us to add to the site, then also post that in

the comments area of the Predakine Empire forums.

Be sure to visit one of our sponsors, toyarena

.com, who has It doesn't appear that he's updated

the site recently, but he does still sell the

toys. So I'm getting a couple figures from there

pretty soon, and he's a really cool guy. He'll

get you your stuff pretty fast. If you want an

alternative to Big Bad, then this would be the

place I'd go. Anyways, this is Steve slash Megatron,

and I guess this will be it for this episode.

So, this is me signing off.
