Transformers Collection – Transformers 2010

And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues.

The Transformers 2010 toyline is primarily made up of two sublines. The first of these was Hunt for the Decepticons, which was heavily infulenced by the Movieverse lines and indeed contained quite a few redeco’s of figures from the Revenge of the Fallen toyline.  Reveal the Shield was its successor, harking back to the Classics line with new versions of classic G1 characters – even bringing back the beloved rubsigns!

Neither of these two sublines of Transformers 2010 were ever specifically classified as belonging to either the Movieverse or the Generations line, so fans were free to decide whether the individual characters belonged in one universe or the other.  So if you think that HFTD Seaspray is a bitchin’ update to the G1 figure rather than an alternate Movieverse incarnation then you roll with it!

Movie Review: Transformers One

I’ve actually been sitting on this review for months, but due to the non-disclosure agreement I signed at the Preview Screening, I have been unable to publish until now.  But the embargo is officially lifted and off we go!

Transformers cartoons and comics get rebooted every few years, and now it seems the movie part of the franchise is following suit.  After the stand alone 1986 movie we had what many people called the Bayverse, 5 live action movies over the course of a decade.  Several years later we had the Bumblebee Movie followed by last years sequel Rise of The Beasts, a soft reboot of the Bayverse.

Movie Review – Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

Now it appears we have yet another Transformers movieverse to explore.  Whether it is a full reboot of the entire film franchise, or is going to run concurrent to the live action movies is at this time unknown, but it is the first time in 38 years a Transformers animated movie has hit the big screen – and so we have Transformers One.

Note: This is a movie review – so SPOILERS AHEAD!

 

Chronologically Transformers One is set before the great Cybertronian Civil War began, but after their war with the QuintessonsCybertron is under the thrall of a cast system, with the Cogless (those without Transformation Cogs and thus no ability to transform) performing all the grunt work of society, everything from mining to waste reclamation.  Those with Transformation Cogs live a more privileged life, however a life still constrained as Cybertron is no longer producing Liquid Energon, the lifeblood of the Transformers race, and the only Energon available is that mined from the depths of Cybertron by the aforementioned cogless miners.

We are quickly introduced to Orion Pax, the bot destined one day to become Optimus Prime. This is a version of Orion we have not seen before, even in the comics he was still very Optimus’esque with a strong sense of responsibility.  This Orion is impetuous, adventurous and happy to break societies rules when it suits him.  Though many fans have cried foul of the character not being voiced by Peter Cullen, it is easy to see why they went with the younger Chris Hemsworth, Cullens strong and older voice would not have suited such a youthful interpretation.

The only thing I am missing is Cyber-acne

After a chase between Orion and two security bots, where Orion so conveniently watches a holovid talking about the disappearance of The Matrix and its effect on Cybertron (and thus the main plot of the film), we are introduced to his best friend D-16, who will one day don his big bot pants and become the maniacal Megatron.

My eyes aren’t red, that means I’m not evil… yet.

Through the optics and treatment of Orion and D-16, we see how oppressed the mining-class are, though many of them don’t see it that way as they feel they are serving a useful function for their society.  However unlike his comrades Orion is not content to merely mine for the greater good, he wants to find the Matrix and bring it to their societies leader, Sentinel Prime, who is a hero of D-16’s, second only in his optics to Megatronus who was one of the Original 13 Primes who disappeared at the end of the Quintesson War.

Through a series of misadventures Orion & D-16 end up on the surface of Cybertron, having picked up the unwilling Elita 1 and the very willing Bumblebee along the way, and off for the Matrix they search.  Transformers movies always seem to resort to a ‘we have to find the….’ plotline.   Whether it’s a Matrix, an Allspark, a Cyberforming Seed, a Spacebridge Pillar, a Transwarp Key or even the Staff or Merlin, the writers of Transformers movies sadly resort to the same old trope in order to move the plot along.  Given what they have to work with – giant alien shapeshifting robots – you would think the script writers could come up with something a bit more creative than another round of ‘hunt the shiny’.

The characterization is at least somewhat more original than the plot, with new takes on decades old Transformers staples.  As aforementioned, Orion is a far more youthful version of Optimus to what we are accustomed, Elita is pragmatic and in-charge rather than  being simply Optimus’ love interest, D-16 is rough but willing to begrudgingly follow Orion along for the sake of friendship, and Bumblebee is almost manic in how much he blathers on, a nice change of pace from the Bumblebee who has to talk through a radio that has graced the big screen for the last 7 flicks.

“I can talk, I can talk, I can talk talk talk talk…’

Eventually our four heroes find the place the Matrix was last seen and discover Alpha Trion, one of the Original 13 Primes and the only one who is still functional.  Through him they learn that Sentinel Prime has been lying to the populace – he betrayed the Primes and killed them, causing the Matrix to be lost, and he is having the Energon mined in order to pay off the Quintessons who helped him rise to power.  It is the betrayal of his hero Sentinel, along with seeing the remains of his fallen idol Megatronus, that propels D-16 down the path of darkness (anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering – Yoda was right!).  Before Sentinels goons find them, Alpha Trion informs the heroes that all Transformers naturally have (are born with?  created with?) Transformation Cogs and that Sentinel must have stolen those of the lower caste.  Thus Trion in turn bestows upon the quartet the cogs of four of the fallen Primes.

Much like the IDW comics, until this point there had been a disappointing lack of transformation in this Transformers movie.  With no altmodes all the lower caste look like Action Masters (similar looking non-transforming blocky robots) and with the exception of a race, we haven’t seen enough of other characters to really get a feel for the shape-changing species.  With their new cogs, the four heroes sprout new armour, new weapons, new kibble and increase in size considerably.  The payoff for waiting so long is worth it story wise, but it is a long time coming and for the younger viewers the wait is perhaps too long.

Eventually we finally get what everyone wants to see from a Transfomers movie, a big battle!  On their way back to confront Sentinel they enlist the help of a group of renegade bots being lead by Starscream, Soundwave & Shockwave, and Orion sneaks back into Iacon to inspire the miners to join the fight.  Between the two groups they manage to route Sentinels forces and by capturing Sentinel’s 2IC Arachnid expose his duplicity to the public.  Despite having won D-16 is still determined to kill Sentinel, yet Orion leaps in the way of the shot to try and stop him, the shot taking Orion out.  D-16, angry at Orion’s interference, announces ‘I’m done saving you’ and drops Orion to his death. D-16 murders Sentinel, takes Sentinels cog (it itself stolen from the corpse of Megatronus) and proclaims himself ‘Megatron’, his new cog beefing him up even further in the process.

‘For a change of pace Megatron is going to usurp me’

Though entertaining, there are a few things that don’t sit quite right at this pivotal moment of the movie.  We know Orion is a hero at heart, but why leap in front of the shot meant for Sentinel instead of simply trying to tackle his friend?  Why did D-16 not agonize longer about what he had done to Orion, given their close friendship?  Why after taking victory and then upgrading did Megatron and his troops subsequently begin to trash the city for no discernible reason?  The changeover to old-school Decepticon shenanigans seems too down pat, like the struggle for freedom and the friendship we had watched for the past hour now meant nothing.

Much like in other continuities such as in the War for Cybertron video game and the Prime cartoon, we see Orion, who having fallen all the way to Cybertron’s core, get turned by Primus into Optimus Prime via the power of the Matrix, and then return to fight Megatron.  This is actually one of their best fights over the whole 40 year franchise, both utilizing their various weapons and altmodes as they battle for supremacy.  After taking victory, Optimus banishes Megatron and his army from the city, before using the power of the Matrix to finally give his cogless former coworkers the ability to transform and the Energon to flow through Cybertron once again.  Throw in a post-credit scene of Megatron in the wastes giving his troops the Decepticon brand and that’s a wrap folks.

 

There is a lot to love in this movie, especially for a dedicated Transformers fan.  Many of the background Autobot characters, even before getting their cogs, are recognisable, such as Jazz, Ironhide, Arcee and Wheeljack.  Likewise on the Decepticon side we see many recognisable Seekers, the animators even putting in smaller details such as Thrust’s wing turbines.  There are small Easter Eggs scattered throughout, Megatron being D-16 (the original Megatron toy’s designation in Japan), Blurr’s name being on the leaders board during the Iacon 5000 race (it itself a reference to the Speedia 5000 race from the Legacy toyline) and many others which will bypass the casual viewer but delight those in the know.  The animation is top notch – Cybertron itself looks fantastic, with vibrant cities, dank pits, panoramic landscapes and a world that itself can change its shape, the only confusing thing being the appearance of organic matter on the planets surface.  The Quintessons have always been the main off-world enemies of the Transformers, and although not multi-faced do bear their telltale colour schemes and tentacles and their ship looks suitably imposing floating over the abandoned surface.

“Are you guilty or innocent? Wait, thats the other animated movie’

The characterizations and voice acting are both worthy of note, displaying much of the various characters original traits, yet being fresh enough takes to keep things interesting.  Perhaps it would have been good to see Welker & Cullen take on the voice acting once D-16 and Orion become Megatron and Optimus respectively, but given this film is likely to be the first of an animated trilogy, one can understand the studios wishing to stick to the younger actors who will be able to fulfill the roles for years to come.  What fans will love is that the characters are actually recognizable as themselves; their general appearance, colour schemes, attitudes and altmodes all appropriate.  After years of so many beloved characters being made unrecognizable in the live action movies (such as the Wheeljack controversy from ROTB) it was refreshing to see the writers and animators give proper weight to the source material.  Speaking of source material, there is much Transformers lore to be found within the film, especially around their god Primus and the Original 13 Primes.

Of course, there are a few letdowns.  The primary letdown is the lack of gravitas given to significant events within the film that should hold higher implications.  How was Sentinel Prime able to kill the Original 13 Primes so easily in combat?  Why would Optimus throw himself in front of a shot which would kill the despot, however after only one short battle permanently banish his best friend and his followers from Iacon to the wilds of Cybertron?  Yeah, ok, Megs dropped him into a ravine, I’d be a bit salty about that too, but it would have been more in keeping with the character for him to offer Megatron another chance and for Megs to shun it, rather than so willingly banish so many bots, that had moments ago helped to liberate Iacon, from the city they just helped save.  This and similar events make the characters seem more two-dimensional than is satisfactory, especially for a 3D film, though still miles ahead of the ‘murderbots’ of the Bayverse.

Movie Review – Transformers: The Last Knight

Minor quibbles aside this is a great movie, and it is fantastic to see Transformers return to its cinematic roots of animation.  It is to be hoped that the movie does well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel.  Is this movie for everyone?  No.  Your average adult viewer is not going to be overly entertained by this flick, however for younger viewers and Transformer fans they are in for a treat which will delight anyone remotely interested in the wonderful world of The Transformers.

Fan Screening of Transformers One: Sydney fans reactions

 

Transformers IDW 2019 Continuity – a retrospective

The first Transformers continuity created by IDW comics is regarded by many as the best Transformer comics that have ever been made.  Kicking off in 2005, it ran for an impressive 13 years with hundreds of issues and took the G1’esque universe to places it had never been before, culminating in a climatic battle against Unicron himself.

In 2019 IDW rebooted the Transformers comic universe and it was….. not well received.  Many fans had become very attached to the universe of old, especially the adventures of the Lost Light which introduced genuine comedy into the franchise, something it was sorely lacking.   One could argue that the first continuity had done so much there was nothing left to do so a reboot was required, but many fans still mourned it’s loss.

Sniff… you were taken from us too soon.

But can the fact that the 2019 reboot was not well loved be solely attributed to the affection fans felt for the old universe?  Personally I didn’t know as at that stage I had ‘comic fatigue’ and was not up to investing myself into a new series, especially after I read the first few issues.  The new series only lasted 3 years, as opposed to the 13 of its predecessor, and perhaps was a hundred issues give or take all together.

‘A Bold New World’ turned out to be ‘A Bored New World’

Over the past 3 weeks I have binge-read the entirety of the IDW 2019 Transformers continuity. Below are my thoughts on what was good, what was bad, and why ultimately it failed.

 

The Bad

First and foremost – it started too slooooow.

It’s just more of this for like 10 issues.

There is some good action to be found in the 2019 universe, but it takes so many issues to get to it.  The majority of the first dozen issues are characters walking down hallways talking to one another.  And the banter is boring.  Yes, they were trying to establish that this was a pre-great war Cybertron, and show Orion Pax and Megatron travelling inevitably towards their fates, but Transformers fans don’t primarily read comics for the political discourse – they want to see giant, shape-changing alien robots fighting each other!  There was so much blah-blah-blah that when they finally got to the good stuff a lot of fans had tuned out and were no longer interested.

Let us stand in completely neutral poses and talk a lot – the audience will love that.

 

The characters lack character

This is the exciting Sixshoot from the 2005 continuity…

Lets use Sixshot as a comparison.  When introduced into the 2005 continuity it showed him destroying a whole civilisation single handed!  And he showed all 6 of his modes in his very first issue! He has a rich backstory of being a one-percenter that gets augmented to become a phase-sixer and after arriving on Earth, it took the combined firepower of Optimus and a whole squad of Autobots to even slow him down. In the 2019 continuity, even after 3 years he still hasn’t used all of his modes, he spends more time talking that fighting, and the first battle between him and Windblade is frighteningly dull.  That’s right, they managed to make a fight that involved Sixshot boring.

… and this is the Sixshot from the 2019 continuity. This Sixshot likes to use his words. This Sixshot sucks.

Sixshot is just one example.  Megatron never does much except plot and has a total of one brief punch up with Optimus over the entire 3 years – he doesn’t even rant that well.  Swindle is always grumpy and talking about percentages rather than being the cheery swindler we all love.  The banter between Strongarm and Sideswipe is supposed to evoke their love-hate relationship from the RID2015 continuity but falls flat.  None of the characters really evolve or change or grow and their personalities are the same from the first issue they show up in to the last.  Very few characters ever display any real passion or panic about anything.  I’ll have to note there are a few exceptions such as Flamewar, who is at least goofy enough to be mildly entertaining, as is Skywarp.

 

Cybertron is artistically dull

Cybertron is a robot alien world, full of wonders and marvels, created from the body of Primus himself.  So why does it seem to consist of nothing but corridors and barren  landscapes?  The background always seems to be mutely coloured in shades of tan and bronze, the buildings are very basic rectangles and nothing pops.  There are no interesting details to note, there is not a lot of anything really.  Even when huge events happen like an orbital tether collapsing so that a giant cable cuts a swath of destruction across all of Iacon, its unimpressive.  As is when the Titan’s fall from the sky.  It’s Titan’s falling out of the sky and crashing into Cybertron, and it still looks boring, just rectangular brick looking things hitting empty ground.  Given the rather less than awed response from the observing bots, they were not impressed either.

 

The robots also look dull

Bumblebee: ‘And I’m one of the most artistically detailed characters in the series!’

The artist Angel Hernandez was obviously not a fan of strong colours as even the bots look washed out.  There is the occasional pop of colour such as at Swindle’s casino, but not much.  The bots are often as blocky as the landscape, with detail only ever given to some of the more major characters such as Bumblebee’s face or Orion’s body.  Not a lot of size difference either, everyone is roughly similar heights and shapes, even the Micromasters, with just the odd detail like wings and faces to differentiate them.  If you don’t know the characters already, you are hard pressed to tell with many who is male and who is female.  Yes, I know that we are all supposed to be ‘blind to gender’ now, but would it really be insulting to let the female characters look female?  I had to look up if the character Glyph was male or female as I couldn’t tell from the art, and the likes of Road Rage are only able to be identified as female when you see they have slightly fuller lips. With blocky bodies and little to set them apart from muted colour schemes and a bit of altmode kibble, the alien mechanoid populace of Cybertron have rarely looked so boring.  The Wreckers mini-series set on Velocitron is worthy of mention for being the exception to this.

If only the rest of the series could have popped like this.

 

Barely a Transformation

Lots of Bots standing round – get used to it.

To be fair this is an issue I had with the 2005 continuity as well.  Transformers are supposed to, well, transform.  But they hardly ever do it!  The Seekers showcase the ability the most in order to go into battle, but most other characters, even major ones, either hardly ever transform or never transform at all!. And even when they do, most of the time its just to get from point A to point B, they don’t really use their altmodes for anything but transport.  Way to remove a quintessential concept from a franchise.  One must wonder if perhaps this is done on purpose as despite Earth never being visited, there are plenty of characters with Earth vehicle modes occasionally on show  (based on the then current Siege toyline) – the artists obviously not bothering to come up with Cybertronian modes for them – so the less the audience saw of the altmodes the less they would say ‘Hang on a sec…’

Starscream: “Hey Nautica, we both have Cybertronian alt modes, are in lots of issues yet only ever each Transform once the whole comic run, why is that?” Nautica: “Ask the lazy-ass writers and artists”

 

The Good

(yes there is some!)

As mentioned, the 2019 continuity eventually does come into its own.  Whilst many of the negatives above such as bland landscapes and characters that rarely show strong emotions persist, the storyline starts to move faster, disparate story arcs begin to overlap and intertwine, and we even get a few interesting battles.  These are not the only positives:

 

Overlooked characters getting their shot.

Howlback, Squalktalk and Beastbox joining their more popular compatriots. A shame Howlback looks like a rat though.

The Lost Light comic series set a great precedent, elevating minor characters to places of prominence, and giving characters who have barely appeared over the last 30 years a chance to briefly shine.  The 2019 continuity may not do it as well, but it does do it. Chainclaw works security, Howlback works infiltration, Hydrahead and Rage use their liquid weapons to try and assassinate the Insecticons, Redwing leads Seeker attacks.   It’s always interesting to see someone different from the main cast get their turn upon the page.

Transformers have ‘Stormtroopers’ too, wonder if their aim is as bad.

 

Action Masters are cool!

If you didn’t own the toy from G1 I bet you want him now!

It’s nice to see the Action Masters done right!  At the time the most reviled of the G1 toys – Transformers who couldn’t transform – Action Masters now experience the same love of much of the old toyline simply due to being G1.  In this series they haven’t been retroactively been given altmodes like in others, they are all mode locked and yes, like the original storyline from the G1 toys its due to overuse of Nucleon.  The best part is that many seem to come with their accessories: the likes of Axer and Circuit drive their vehicles, whilst characters like Treadshot and Charger have their animal sidekicks.  And Charger with Fire Beast – talk about including obscure characters!

‘I bet most of you will have to google who I am’

 

Interesting-ish Subplots

Oh, if only the characters were given some more, er, character and the graphics a bit of oomph, these could have been great.  We see interesting subplots explore the origins of the Constructicons and the Insecticons, how they came to be and where they are going.  The Constructicons are, not officially, banished from Cybertron because the populace fears the power of Devastator, and the Insecticons go from walking garbage disposals to cannibals who feast on organics and fellow bots alike.  Both these early story lines have a profound affect at the series conclusion, particularly the Insecticons.

 

 

Characters actually fulfilling their tech spec functions.

‘Look, we are actually doing computer stuff, not just shooting Autobots’

With so many characters, Transformers comic writers often ignore what they are supposed to do and simply make them one of a multitude of soldiers, especially on the Decepticon side.  Not so with this continuity.  Sparkstalker for the first time in his existence is actually functioning as a hacker instead of simply breathing fire.  Bumblebee is working espionage instead of smiling and being the Transformers poster boy.  For a Transformers geek like me, this was a level of detail greatly appreciated.

 

No Earth, No Humans!

Well, nearly.  The only Humans that appear are in the King Grimlock miniseries, a shoutout to the G1 episode Madman’s Paradise.  Even then it’s not on Earth so they get a pass.

 

Too little, too late

So yes, there were positives to be found in the IDW 2019 Transformers Continuity.  Unfortunately for them, the first year was so lackluster that most fans (myself included) had tuned out and were no longer buying by the time it started to get halfway decent.  Having binged the entire continuity over the last 3 weeks I can say it turned out not as bad as I thought, but it’s nothing I will revisit and am glad I saved my pennies by reading them online rather than purchasing the comics themselves.  How did IDW go from making the best Transformers comics ever to the worst?  Was it a case of the new writers and artists making bad decisions, them not caring, or did perhaps IDW feel it was done with the franchise and therefore organised a lackluster effort to get them out of their contract with Hasbro?  Who knows.  But like the cartoon series –Transformers Robots in Disguise 2015 – it seems destined to forever be referred to by fans in the tone of ‘meh, bits were ok, but it was never really that great’.

 

Transformers Collection – Classics

And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues.

My Transformers Classics Collection

Classics was really the start of what would become an ongoing Generations line, though the term ‘Generations’ would not crop up for several more years.  With the first live action movie on the way, Hasbro wanted to revisit the original G1 characters and figures rather than do yet another alternate-universe cartoon spin-off of them like Robots in Disguise (2001) or Armada, something that we hadn’t seen since Generation 2.  So for the first time in over a decade we got characters designed to be updates of the G1 Bots and Cons many of us grew up with.  The concept proved so successful that it is still being used to this day!

Event Review – Transformers 40th Cinema Event

As most members of the Transformers Fandom would be aware, this year is the 40th anniversary of the franchise.

As such, worldwide Hasbro held a special Transformers 40th Cinema Event worldwide!

This event consisted of firstly a sneak peak at Season 2 of the cartoon series Transformers Earthspark.   This was then followed by a Table Read of the script of the very first episode of the Generation One cartoon, with many of the surviving voice actor cast.  Lastly the subsequent 3 episodes of the G1 cartoon were shown.

Whilst it was cool to get a look at the upcoming S2 of Earthspark, a short two minute section of an episode showcasing Starscream and his Seekers fighting the Autobots, and was also cool to see the G1 Episodes up on the big screen, it was really the Table Read that was the highlight of the show.

As someone who knows (either proudly or sadly depending on your viewpoint) every episode of the old 80’s cartoon by heart, it was interesting to hear the likes of Pete Cullen and Frank Welker reading out their lines.  Not only were the inflections different, but you could also hear (especially in Cullen) how their voices have aged over four decades.

Other members of the original cast were there too, but of course sadly not all have survived, necessitating some characters vocals being performed by other voice actors.  The voice actor that picked up Starscream and Wheeljack did an impressive rendition of Starscream, however made Wheeljack sound like he should be trying to order food at a Kosher Deli before having an afternoon nap.  The highlight however was Gregg Berger reading Spike Witwicky – he sounded nothing like Spike but rather a 4 year old about to tell on another student in kindergarten for taking his favorite toy.   Every time he did Spike the audience erupted in laughter and delight!

Myself personally booked tickets the moment the showing was announced at Event cinemas and went along with a large group of friends and our sons, including superfans Dallas, Trent and Brendan.

Fun for the kids…
… and the kids at heart!

However two weeks after we had booked and paid for our tickets, I was contacted by Hasbro and Double Jump Communications to let me know of a special VIP Showing in Sydney that same night.  Whilst I would have loved to attend, there was no way I was bailing on my friends so sadly had to miss out.  However lots of other friends attended, including David Quinn and Lisamaree.  They have kindly provided some photos and a few words about their experiences.

 

Recount  by Lisamaree:

I was lucky enough to attend the VIP 40th Anniversary Transformers cinematic screening event at Event Cinemas in George Street, in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

One of the big differences with this event from previous VIP events I’ve been to was the diversity and sheer number of fans. Sure, the regular mega fans were there, but so were a lot of fans who didn’t know about any of the Australian Transformers clubs or online forums. Some were collectors and others just love Transformers cartoons or characters. It was a great mix of geekdom ready to celebrate 40 years of transforming robots. Yeah!

At 6pm the fans were invited into an area where glorious cardboard cut-outs (or giant standees as a lot of the “younger generation” were calling them) greeted us. G1 box-art of Megatron, Soundwave, Bumblebee and Ravage were super-sized and lining the entry for everyone to enjoy and take photos with.

Inside the foyer there was a giant backdrop of the classic G1 box art from the original toys to take photos in front of, a demonstration of the Robosen Optimus, Megatron and Grimlock self-transforming robots, a glass display of new and upcoming toys and an array of Transformer One cut-out characters to grab a photo op with.

For those who posted on social media with the right tags, the event organisers gave a limited number of Transformers One posters as prizes.

We were encouraged to post our photos from the event on social media, which I always do for these kinds of events in the hope of encouraging other fans to get involved and join in.

As we were ushered into the V-Max cinema everyone received a goodie bag that contained a G1 40th anniversary poster, a legend class Legacy United figure (either Tasmania Kid or Dinobot Sludge) and a discount voucher for Amazon.

The cinema greeted us with a movie sized still of the G1 backing box art on the big screen. It was impressive to see the classic 80’s artwork larger than life. The chairs were well spaced very comfy recliners. Masterpiece Ironhide, who had joined me as my figure of choice for the night, made himself quite at home on my chair as I took in the atmosphere of all the fans filling the cinema in excitement.

The event organiser started the session off with a transformers trivia competition. They were all easy trivia until the question “Name the four moons of Cybertron” was asked. Can you answer that without googling it? No one in our cinema could and there were some absolute Transformers masterminds in the room.

We were given a preview of the Transformers One trailer before getting into the viewing of the first 4 episodes of the Transformers G1 cartoon. The first episode voices were re-recorded with as many of the original cast as possible and a couple of more recent voice actors standing in for those we’ve lost. Watching Peter Cullen and Frank Welker side by side reprising the first episode was nostalgic, funny, amazing and so very 80’s. As the episode progressed the voice actors were shown performing their lines side by side with the animation, which, was very pixelated and didn’t translate well onto the big screen… but that didn’t stop anyone enjoying the show. Notable shout out to Frank Todaro who did an amazing and incredibly expressive job filling in as Starscream.

At the end of the first episode we got to see a bloopers reel of Frank making Peter laugh, Greg Berger trying to make everyone laugh and some of the antics that had taken place while the voice actors had recorded the session together around a table.

There was a collective disappointment that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th episodes shown hadn’t been given the same re-recorded voice actor treatment but it was a novelty to see the tv episodes in a cinema format.

After the episodes finished the event organisers came back to the front of the cinema and told us there was one last prize for the best social media post.

Then they said the winner was … “aus – geek – mum”. My jaw dropped as I belatedly processed… ausgeekmum… that was me! I raised Ironhide in the air and yelled “woohoo” as the organiser came up and game me my prize. The prize included Rise of the Beasts Airazor, Rise of the Beasts legend class Arcee and a Rise of the Beasts Bumblebee mask.

At first I looked at it and thought “oh no – not ANOTHER Airazor!” but then another collector pointed out to me it was autographed. In fact, all the items were autographed. Arcee was autographed by the actress who voiced her in Rise of the Beasts – Liza Kolby. I was told Airazor was autographed by Michelle Yeoh, however I have yet to confirm this as the signature doesn’t look like her normal signature. Bumblebee was autographed too, but I gave him away to another collector I know really well as the mask wasn’t something I would have displayed in my collection and I believe in sharing the good luck around.

As everyone moved out of the cinema fans were congregated near a number of the large cut-out figures. People were focussed on a group of the cut-outs on one side of the walkway when I noticed Ravage standing on his own behind everyone. I walked up to him and said “well, since no one is taking you, you can come home with me!” I grabbed him with glee and said “I’m taking him”.

Someone asked if I wanted to swap with Bumblebee and I politely said no while in my mind thinking there was no comparison between the autobot scout and the supremely superior Ravage. I made the trip home via the train with Ravage taking up his own 3-seater seat, much to the delight of most of the people in the carriage who couldn’t believe what they were seeing. He will now take up pride of place as the Prime Shrine attack kitty for the rest of his days.

Overall it was a fun night. Lots of laughs, nostalgia and fun was had with a small swag of goodies to top it all off.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Special Preview Screening Event!

Transformers Collection – Cyberverse

And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues.

Transformers Cyberverse got off to a slow start.  Not a great amount of toys and most of those either Warrior-class or 1-step changers.  Also the cartoon was pretty lackluster, it seemed that, like the comics, it was the ‘Bumblebee & Windblade Show’ – two characters definetely overused in recent years.

Then in the second year Cyberverse really took off!  Better toys, way better cartoon and a much bigger range of characters in both.  Also Cyberverse brought back a something that had been missing from Transformers for a long time – humour!  Some of those cartoon episodes were genuinely funny, such as Wheeljack magnetizing an energon-infused Grimlock or Grimlock & Arcee standing on the prow of The Ark blasting asteroids with gattling guns while laughing their heads off!

Yes, like Robots in Disguise (15) Cyberverse is probably not the favorite iteration of Transformers for many fans, but seasons 2 to 4 were great fun and we got some cool figures – even our first official Scraplet!

Transformers Collection – Animated

 

Transformers Collection – Robots in Disguise (2015)

And thus the great cataloging of my personal collection continues.

Transformers Robots in Disguise (15) was very much an “Eh – it was ok” entry into the Transformers multiverse.  Set in the Aligned Continuity, it was meant to be the sequel to Transformers Prime and run cocurrent to Transformers Rescue Bots.  However whilst Prime impressed fans with its ongoing mature storyline, impressive graphics and excellet figures, Robots in Disguise was far more simplistic and considered a downgrade.  The cartoon became a The Tick like show where the team battled a differently themed bad guy each week, and the toyline introduced Warrior-class and 1-step changer toys – simplistic toys with simplistic transformations.

Whilst never hated like Kiss Players, Robots in Disguise (15) failed to impress anyone, and will remain a cartoon and toyline that the majority of fans feel ambivelent about.   At least we got some better figures from other toylines RID crossed over with such as Adventure and Go!

Transformers Collection – TCG Cards

A few years ago Wizards of the Coast, in conjunction with Hasbro, released the Transformers Trading Card Game.

Though the game has come to a close now, it was very popular for quite a while, and WOTC/Hasbro were even kind enough to send me a few different sets to review when the game was at its height.  Even if you no longer play the game, the artwork on the cards makes them well worth keeping.

Transformers Collection – Prime

And thus the great cataloging of my personal collection continues.

The Transformers Prime cartoon came out while the live-action movies were at their peak in popularity,  and so took on much of their asthetic.  Prime as a long-nosed cab, Arcee as a motorcycle, Bumblebee having a damaged voicebox – all lifted from the Movieverse.  This meant that poor old Ironhide lost his spot on Team Prime as in the Movieverse, Sentinel had just killed him.

Prime has proven to be one of the most popular Transformer cartoons of all time, and it had a pretty good toyline to go with it, although all the sublines contained within became very confusing, including: First Edition, Robots in Disguise, Cyberverse, Arms Micron, Go!, Adventure, Thrilling 30, Beast Hunters, Beast Hunters: Preadacons Rising and even more!

Transformers Collection – Animated

And so the great cataloging of my personal Transformers Collection continues.

Animated still proves to be a much beloved and popular part of the Transformers cartoon franchise.  It saw a return to character-driven storylines with each Bot and Con portrayed as having special and unique powers.  With a touch of humour and new takes on classic characters, both the show and toyline proved incredibly popular with fans, especially with their unique visual asthetic.
