(I had GoBots.)   

Ah yes, Gobots...the poor man's Transformers.  Had 'em as well, and actually dig them more now than the original TFs.

Anyway, I think it's refreshing they're taking TF to a different level and making some modifcations.  It's definitely not going to be the kiddy cartoon that we all remember, at least not based on what we've seen in the trailer.  I know this has a bunch of fan boys all bent out of shape, but that's to be expected.  Based on the trailer, I'm looking forward to it.

That's just it.  I AM a TRANSFAN.  I am a fanboy...Have been ever since 84.  I have hundreds and hundreds of Transformers - toys that I actually open and enjoy.  I have all the G1 toons on DVD, and I'm looking forward to a change in a different direction.  I could care less if it's anything like it was or what most of you think it should be, I'm just glad that they're finally making a real movie based on the franchise.  I have to say that RID, Armada, Energon, & the Cybertron toons were all lame for the most part, but so was a lot of the G1 stuff if you go back and watch it again after all these years.  I thought they were a lot better when I was 6-8 for some reason

Nice.  I saw this movie in the theater a billion years ago.  It was just so freaky then that I had to own it on DVD.  It's amazing.  My wife isn't a fan though, so whenever she and the youngin' are out, I pop a few beers and turn out the lights and turn this sucker up loud. 

I remember this movie was much more "interesting" 13-15 years ago with a girl named Mary and her friend named Jane.  Ah, the good ol days.....

Well, I'm no Canadian (close enough though) but Scott - Happy Birthday bud!!   

I wish you well.

Neal,

Great deal you found on Prime!  I have to ask, do his legs retract properly when transforming into cab mode?  I've yet to open mine, because I really don't want him - but if his legs work, then that may be a different story.  I still think the voice actor for Prime on the base is god awful.  Laughable even - sounds nothing like Peter Cullen.

DVD pack with Megs vs. Optimus.  Haven't opened it.  Still in my trunk with all my other Classics stuff.  What DVD is included with this set?  I can't recall a cartoon series where Megatron was a tank and Prime was his original g1 self.

Man oh man.  The first 3 waves of '07 in the 30 AC look like possibly 3 of the best waves ever. 

Ya, that's when the fun ends and the repacks begin.  Wait, I forgot, that's what Legends is for, right?

I hope that this opens the doors for Hasbro to retool the aging Speederbike mold so they can release a similar set such as this for the OTC.  2 VtSC Scouts on new bikes - I'd be all over that.

For anyone interested.  Best Buy has all five seasons of "24" for only 19.99 each.

Not a bad deal considering I still need season 5.  I picked up seasons 2-4 at Target on Black Friday for $16 as well as some of the later Simpsons sets I was missing.
