In a back flash explaination - we'l go back in time when there were dinobots roaming the planet. There will be tons of grimlocks (because if ppl like 1... read more |

Mike, I have to agree with Greatshot on the Micromasters here. They were portrayed in fiction as smaller bots, even smaller than G1 Bumblebee. The average Micromaster only stood about 6 or 7 feet tall at the most. They stand about the same height as a tall Human being. They didn't even come c... read more |

Why wouldn't they be? There even playsets to go with the toys. Are we to think that there was really a miniature rocket launching pad to go with Countdown? A small service station to go with Grease Pit? I could think of them as full-sized vehicles, with smaller, more efficient robot modes, ... read more |

You know, the last time I went to go see a movie based on the premise that it was a sequel that was 'darker' than its predecessor, I saw so I know of what I speak. And if Bay is serious about including Unicron, I FEAR what I'll see on the big screen. I'm talking white-knuckled, kn... read more |

Toys? By that logic though, you can also ignore any of the characterization from any series and call that red and blue truck guy "Joe". I entirely agree with your statement they were obviously Hasbro clutching at straws at a dwindling marketshare and trying to cash in on the next fad, bu... read more |

I don't mean Ravage when I'm talking about small movie Transformers. Ravage was portrayed rather well. There's a difference between what the fiction says and what Micromasters obviously were. That's why I have no problem when Hasbro decides to make Micromaster homages out of ne... read more |

There's no doubt Hasbro was reaching for the Micro Machines market, but they most certainly *ARE* tiny Transformers, that's how they're portrayed in every canon I've seen. |

I don't like them because they're all jittery and insane. Some of them are really silly too, like that razor-thin robot that stole the Allspark shard. Oh, and Miromasters were just Hasbro trying to cash-in on the new Micro Machines toys of the late 1980s. They are not Transformer char... read more |

I know it's never explicitly shown transforming on camera, but I always assumed that SUV who's steering wheel eats the girl's face in the first movie was brought to life as a full TF. I don't mind the little stuff so long as it's not a focus. They're no different than the G... read more |
