Here's my groups B-Movie trailer, tis AWESOME !!!!!

Transformers ruined...AGAIN !!!!!!

Maybe some people know, maybe they don't but hasbro are getting they're own channel called 'HUB', which is pretty cool coz hasbro do the transformers toys.

What isn't cool is this new transformers series that they will be showing this november. The new show is named "Transformers: Prime", it sounds good but from what i've seen I'm not holding my breath, especially after that "Transformers: Animated" fiasco!

I've got some images of the designs for the new series as well as the original designs.

The new designs are the work of Jose Lopez, who designed the characters from "The Batman"

Ok first up we got Optimus Prime, leader of the heroic Autobots. Right of the bat... no sir I don't like it. They went with the live action Prime in this design and that includes, thats right G1 fans, a movable face plate that reveals a mouth. Prime does not need a mouth his sheer awesomeness creates sounds that the other characters interpret as words! I am thankful that this design does no include the stupid spray on flames that the live-action version does. This version is voiced by Peter Cullen, who voiced the original and the movie version.

This design of Ratchet the Autobot medic, I'm not to fussed on, it looks more G1 than the movies version of Ratchet ever did. The thing that i can't get over is the fact that this Ratchet, an Autobot is voiced by Jeffery Combs, as in the Re-animator! his voice is terrifying! what's he doing voicing one of the good guys its a waste of talent! Still I'm intrigued to see how that turns out.

Not a car. Not pink. Not Arcee. 'Nuff said.

Megatron evil leader of the Decepticons and look what they've done to him! They've made him bland there's like no colour (yes, I'm english deal with it) to this guy that's supposed to strike terror into the sparks of Autobots, this looks like he could spark a fire. They've kept his helmet from G1 albeit some changes and his plasma cannon they've shrunk it, I mean why! The only saving grace is that they've brought back Frank Welker the original to voice Megatron again and there is Megatron like Franks Megatron.

Starscream 2nd in command of the Decepticons, master of deceit and betrayal and look what the new show has turned him into, a grey, no neck, skinny thing in high heels with pointy fingers. Why? They've replaced his null cannon with missiles, maybe they'll still shoot lasers I don't know, I'll have to wait and see. This version will probably have a deep booming voice, instead of the whiney, high pitched voice we all love.

And here we have Soundwave my absolute favorite character from the original series. And they've transformed him into a new age Cylon. There is nothing of the original character in this design. I am utterly disappointed in this, to me, thats not even a little bit Soundwave.

From what i've seen and gathered from these designs, is that the producers of the new show are under the illusion that the Autobots and Decepticons are of a completely different species of robot from each other. They are not, they are two factions of the same race, so god only knows why Autobots are beefed up and in colour and the Decepticons are grey and pointy looking.

Ok so nerd rage has ended, I will most likely wind up watching this new series when it debuts, just to see whether my fear of another "Transformers: Animated" are justified.

Oh and one more thing, These my own opinions, just to get that clear. This post is how I feel about "Transformers: Prime", if other people are bit more positive about the show and designs, great everyone has there on taste, mine just happen to be stuck in the 80's.

Here's a clip of Transformers: Prime

LATE FOR T' BUS !!!!!!

Here's my group pixilation video !! had a lot of fun making this video, everyone in the group really brought something to the whole concept. If we had to do it again I'd suggest throwing in a chase scene or something, get some different views.
