"Name that Transformer for me..."

The old series, a big plane that was on the Autobots side. I had the toy - it was white, red, big and made of metal! Anyone got one they can sell me for a fiver?

I absolutely loved the old series of Transformers. I only ever had one tape, but i watched it till it wouldn't work anymore. It was the one where they managed to get the humans into the heads of the Transformers to fight the decepticons. I remember the main battle where the decepticons realised that the humans partially controlled the Transformers, and they got their shiny metal butts truly kicked.

The new series ain't as good though, all the Transformers have too much of a 'human' feel to them now, with moving 'lips' and things. And they done away with the transforming sound effect! duh, that was one of the cool things about it.

I bet they would make some good money by releasing DVD's of the old series?

This is Cid Vilante by the way. Just using Mandatare's account as I'm too lazy to mess around with he settings and stuff.

That was Soundwave you're on about. He was the tape player and the pteradactyl was Laser beak. Two of the main jet fighter decepticons were Starscrean, Thunder cracker and I think the last one was Sky fire. I could be wrong on the last one?

Starscream (being pedantic)

Heh

Armada makes it even more confusing. I still have loads of old Transformer comics at my parents house somewhere. (loft, probably, everything always ends up there).

They started making them from metal and some plastic parts, well made and with a lot of effort, but then things changed (after I stopped collecting them though) and they were all plasticy and shiny. What's all that about?

Old transformers had the great Megatron as a pistol, silenced pistol or a large gun, Armada has him as a plane thingy. It's a typical alternate universe thing that the Japanese are really in to at the moment.

They re-did the movie on DVD too and are now charging around £6.99 for it with no extras on it. I just love Unicron, great story too.

did anyone play with MASK? those were some wicked toys and no mistake

MASK toys were great, as were Transformers, but G.I. Joe toys were the best of the bunch.

Transformers suck.

Grow up.
