All Things Transformers: Episode 11 – TFG1 Takeover

You're listening to All Things Transformers,

Episode 11, recorded Saturday, January 24, 2009.

Welcome to all things transformers episode 11.

My name is Michael Blanchard from the TFG one

podcast I am taking over seeing as how Steve

bailed on me this week So it will be me telling

you about the news. So let's get right to it

Let's see. What do we have here? TF revenge of

the fallen news we have the first story is revenge

of the fallen bubble be an optimist prime of

voice -changing helmets And the news article

on TFW2005 on this states, Red Mercury continues

to have new pre -order information regarding

upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys.

They have posted a pre -order pages for a Bumblebee

voice changing helmet and an Optimus Prime voice

changing helmet. No information regarding the

Bumblebee helmet is given, but the Optimus Prime

helmet will be an update of the 2007 movie version

with a new voice clips, transforming effect sound,

and a battle damage paint deco. Both helmets

are due out in May I'm looking at this on TFW2005

.com and it's blue Looks like to be yellow and

like silverish gray Blue on the top of the helmet

and then the silverish gray for the most part

and the yellow is like on the sides It looks

kind of cool of course you know this is more

of a at least to me it's more of a kid's toy

so uh... i don't think that uh... that i'll be

even looking at these things uh... the next uh...

news story we have is official movie site updated

with the fallen image now i have not looked at

this yet so i will hear in one second soon as

i find the uh... The news article says the official

movie website for Transformers Revenge of the

Fallen has been updated with an intro screen

that features the image of the fallen that was

recently revealed in a teaser posters for the

movie. With this image the eyes of the fallen

features slight glowing effect. Transformers

Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters on June 26th.

This image was leaked like the article said on

posters and somebody got a hold of it and brightened

it which was really cool. I'm gonna wait to reserve

judgment on this just don't know. I would prefer

a Transformers Revenge of the Fallen poster,

or Transformers 2 poster, that would either feature

Optimus Prime, Megatron, or someone that we actually

know, or at least that I actually know, because

I've never heard of the Fallen before. My Transformers

knowledge is mainly the Generation 1 Beast Wars

Beast Machines cartoon series, as well as Armada,

Cybertron, Energon, and the new animated. So

I don't read Transformers comics, so I don't

have any idea What the fuck this thing is oops

sorry So on to the next story let's see here

Ask Robo Roberto or see round up January 14th

mythology money shots jolt military and bringing

chaos. According to TFW2005, screenwriter Roberto

Orsi has answered more of your questions about

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. When asked

what he believes fans will be the most pleased

with, Roberto stated something that will please

most die -hard fans. He also states that there

are so many money shots in the movie that a 20

minute trailer couldn't even fit them all. Roberto

also confirms that the addition of Jolt as the

Chevrolet Volt was a last -minute addition to

the movie that resulted in adjustments to the

story. He also states that we'll see members

of Captain Lennox's squad beyond Epps return

for the movie. When asked to choose what Transformer

he would like to add for a third Transformers

movie, Roberto stated that he would like to add

Unicron for scale's sake. While that is not a

confirmation that Unicron will be in the third

movie, it does bring hope to the fans of the

Chaos Bringer. You can check out a full summary

of the responses by clicking on the story's title

for the image to the left or read the full article.

they might go the Megatron turns into Galvatron

by Unicron thing with the movies and I would

love to see Unicron put to scale on a on a live

-action movie I think that would be really cool

I think with the technology that we have these

days you know they can do anything in movies

nowadays so I think it would just be great to

to have Unicron in at least one of the movies

before the franchise I shouldn't say dies but

I mean obviously it'll end at some point I seriously

doubt we're gonna get Transformers 19 return

of I don't know Armada Megatron or something

I don't know so but yeah that that would be kind

of cool actually so on to the next story In the

last bit of Revenge of the Fallen news we have

unseen set pictures. At last we have some form

of news media from the new Transformers movie.

This might be old set pictures but they haven't

been posted on the internet yet. They are very

interesting as they show the whole Autobot fleet

minus Ratchet and R .C. of course. These pictures

were released on Spoiler TV's website via the

Transformers live action movie blog. have a look

in some of these new cars in the Autobots camp.

Just by going over these pictures, I can see

Optimus Prime, I can see Bumblebee, I can see

Ironhide, there is a purple, green, and red car

behind Bumblebee, and there is a silver car in

front of him. I would have assumed that the silver

car was Jazz, but since Jazz got killed in the

first movie, supposedly... And then it shows

them again in the second picture. Pretty much

the same ones, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, the green

one, the red one, and then Bumblebee is kind

of like off the shot here a little bit. I think

it's kind of cool that they're doing this, that

they're... I don't know how you say, you know,

they're actually, you know, allowing us to see

these pictures or that somebody actually got

close enough to see them. Of course, in the second

picture it looks like a parking garage roof,

so I mean, somebody has a good, you know, 5 or

6 or 10x zoom digital camera, you know, you're

going to get pretty good pictures. they're very

clear i mean as far as them going down the street

it's not like it's a blurred thing or anything

like that so that's really cool and that pretty

much brings the uh... revenge of the fallen news

to a close now onto other news tfcon is coming

soon uh... the pre order registration or whatever

it is is opening So, according to TFW 2005, Canada's

8th annual Transformers Collectors Convention

will return to Toronto at the Doubletree International

Plaza Hotel Toronto Airport for a two -day event

on April 25th and 26th, 2009. Visit www .tfcon

.ca for dealer info. Oh, that's what it is. That's

what the news item is. Whoops. The dealer info

is coming in. You can also RSVP via Facebook

for the event. TFCon is only 8 hours away from

major U .S. cities such as New York City, Philadelphia,

and Chicago. American visitors crossing the border

by land do not require a passport, but need both

of the following. A government -issued ID with

photo, such as driver's license and proof of

citizenship. If traveling by air, you will require

a valid passport. I was going to say, wait a

second, where the hell is the rest of the thing?

That's kind of cool. Me, of course, I live in

Louisville, Kentucky, and I don't drive. So yeah,

I won't be going to TFCon. Hell, I can't even

go to BotCon this year. And I'm sure a lot of

people won't be going to BotCon. Fucking California,

I can't believe that. That's ridiculous. Next

up is Transformers Animated News. New Transformers

Animated Collage Reveals Season 3 Hints. Derek

J. Wyatt has updated his blog with a collage

of images from Transformers Animated Season 3.

Some of these images are incidental while others

are minor spoilers about what we can expect to

see in the third season. Hopefully yeah, there's

a couple of spoilers in there a couple of weird

looking things, too What's a transform? What

are they gonna do have a transforming guitar?

I don't know and a Ice cream stick that looks

like an energon stick. That's weird. Ooh, there's

a there's a Sorry, I'm probably spoiling it for

everybody. Let's see. What's next in the news?

Uh, official animated perceptor control art reveals

alt modes. Ooh, this could be pretty cool. Let's

look at this. Sorry, folks. Yeah, be sure to

go to iTunes and listen to the - and subscribe

to the TFG1 podcast. Oh wait, we're still in

the middle of the news. I'll plug my stuff later.

Whoops. So let's, um, let's pull up this perceptor

stuff and - and see what's - what's going on

with this. Unicron .com has posted several pieces

of official Cartoon Network control art pieces

depicting Perceptor from the Transformers animated...

Perceptor, who will first appear on season 3

of the series, will have a pickup truck alternate

mode that also converts into a mobile laboratory

complete with microscope. The images also reveal

that Perceptor ends in episode 30 of the series,

which is the first episode of the new season.

No date has been released yet by Cartoon Network

for the premiere of season 3 of Transformers

Animated. a very you know king cab type a truck

with a Periscope not periscope microscope lens

on the top of them. It's kind of like a kind

of looks like Megatron's Fusion cannon, but it's

red and gray. It looks really cool though. So

let's see. What do we have next? That pretty

much rounds up the news for all things transformers

episode 11 Let's see, things that are going on

with the TFG1 podcast. Right now we have episodes

1 through 4 live on iTunes and also the PredaconEmpire

.com RSS feed. The TFG1 Podcast, if you go to

www .PriticonEmpire .com, on the main page you'll

see the artwork to the right. Click on it and

it'll take you to the RSS feed. Also listen to,

obviously, this podcast, All Things Transformers.

You can also go to PriticonEmpire .com and join

the forums and join in the discussion. I've got

several different discussion threads started

over at those forums about the TFG1 Podcast.

One of them is DisplayCase. where I will be showcasing

pictures and stuff like that about the toys that

I have that I'm talking about on the podcast.

As well as episodes one through four being live

on iTunes, episode five is coming February 6,

2009. I also have supplemental episodes one,

two, and three. I believe three. I'm not sure

if Steve has finished editing that yet. I have

Supplemental Episodes 1 and 2 that I know are

live on iTunes. Supplemental Episode 1 was a

pre -Exmas show. Supplemental Episode 2 was Steve

and I discussing what we got for Christmas in

a Best of 2008 show. It's kind of like a year

in review thing. Supplemental Episode 3 actually

now is quote unquote the lost episode of TFG1.

It was supposed to be an all Beverly Hills cop

review with myself and Mike the Birdman Dodd

from This Week in Geek but I fucked up and overwrote

the audio on my end so it will still be released.

I believe Steve is still editing it right now.

It will mostly be an all clip show of audio clips

from the movies as well as a mashup of Mike the

Birdman Dodd's audio. uh... supplemental episode

four hopefully will be the all cartoon episode

i'm actually uh... going to be as we speak now

it's saturday january twenty fourth i'm going

to be recording a clip with mike the birdman

dot this evening Steve and myself and and and

Birdman we can't I mean me It's no problem with

scheduling, but they both have very different

schedules to each other So it's very hard for

all three of us to sit down and record a podcast

which kind of sucks But you know hey, whatever

So that's pretty much it for what's going on

with with GFG one So I guess I will bring this

episode to a close of the All Things Transformers

podcast. I hope I did okay with this job here.

And hopefully Steve doesn't crucify me for saying

fuck earlier. Oops, I said it again, damn. Seeing

as how this is supposed to be a clean lyrics

podcast, oh well. So, for All Things Transformers,

I am Michael Blanchard from the TFG1 Podcast.

Until next time.
