NEW YORK — Some big names in show business are getting behind some big "robots in disguise." "Transformers," the popular cartoon and toy franchise, is being transformed into a live-action film by director Michael Bay (search), screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and executive producer Steven Spielberg (search). "Under the direction of Michael Bay, and with Steven Spielberg executive producing, we know that `Transformers' is going to be the kind of explosive action movie that is perfect for the height of the summer movie season," DreamWorks (search) head of distribution Jim Tharp said in statement Wednesday. The movie is set for a July 4, 2007, rele…

Why isn't there more TF games out there? The PS2 game was good, but I would love to see more. How many undeserving liscenses get tons of games (mostly crap) and Transformers gets left in the dust. I know they are probably working on one now, but I want games for consoles and hand helds and of different gameplay types. You think Hasbro would be pushing this more considering how well the last game sold.

in the G1 movie, the matrix was used for a few things: 1) a means of deciding who would become the next prime. 2) a way to defeat unicron. 3) a means of up-grading Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime. the matrix in the new continuity has never been used for any of these things except in armada when prime gave it to hot shot but that was more of a "I'm going to sacrifce myself to save Earth. Here, hold onto this until I'm reborn" sort of deal. A-Hot Shot didn't even get a new body. if never again will prime pass the matrix onto anyone else so that they can be up-graded into the new leader, then maybe it's time to let that G1 cliche die.

I could not find pics, but there were three guys on a car show, and they all had Autobot race cars! Real well done modern nos types with killer graphics and stuff. Anyone else see these?

why were maximals called maximals they are the ansecstors of autobots so why was the name changed. same as for the predacons. yes if primal orderd his toops about by calling them all autobots, it would b a lil odd as there all animals, but if megatron called his troops decepticons it would sound ok 2 me.... any 1 else wonderd this not sure if it was explained in the show why the names change can any 1 shed any light on this???

I seriously think a cool RPG could be made based around the G1 characters. Check out my idea below. It'd have turn-based combat, and Energon (EN) would represent your characters' HP. Fuel points (FL) represents their capacity to do special attacks (kinda like MP). Each would have a Desperation that can only be used when they have low EN and full FL. Prime would be able to use his ion blaster, and his specials would include spraying the field with laser blasts, turning into a truck and running an enemy over, and his Desperation would be a move where he uses the Matrix to do big damage to the enemies. Jazz would also have a laser blaster, and his special wou…

i was watching SOS Dinobots last night and when teletraan 1 is damaged (once again) Ratchet exclaims "poor teletraan 1" implying that teletraan has personality or some degree of sentience. Was teletraan 1 supposed to be a sentient machine or was it just a computer? I like the idea that teletraan was the ark, a massive transformer that became a spacecraft like omega supreme, and just happened to get stuck in a mountain damaged massively but with the still functioning mind. being trapped stopped any chance of transforming (i'd love to see a robot form for the ark). does anyone else think that this theory would hold any weight. it just seems that teletraan happened to be mo…
