    Thought I'd start a thread for it.

    So Cullen and Welker, eh?

    I've heard conjecture on the autobot city podcast Welker isn't Megatron.

    Soundwave ftw.

    We'll probably find out more at Botcon in a few weeks, I'd be surprised if the figures aren't shown off there by Hasbro.

    It's also supposed to be some form of continuation of the new game that's coming out.

    No chance.

    Hasbro thinks Bumblebee + sidekid = what makes transformers.


    Meanwhile in the background an epic war featuring Optimus Prime and Megatron happens.

    It's a part in Hasbro's (or maybe just Brian Goldner's?) attempt to create a firm continuity for Transformers. Movie, game, cartoon, all linked together .......somehow.

    Hasbro's bio for the toy of WFC BB states he can't talk... and i'm guessing BB DOES talk in WFC, so they're already selectively ignoring said continuity before it's even established.

    ....aside from the fact we actually know very little about the cartoon so far. Of course there are going to be elements in it that are similar to (Groan)
    "Generation 1"... but there's a couple of second hand rumors that are very UN-G1.

    As often happens however, (some) people will see what they want, what they think SHOULD be there, rather than what actually is.

    Just to clarify the reason I said that was because orci's been talking about prime's g1-ness.

    That said of course he would as not to alienate that demographic :)

    If the trailer is indicative of where the series is headed, colour me interested.

    Also liking the "simple movie" models.

    I'd bet considerable money he is going to be a nerd stereotype.

    Apparently fan reaction has been lukewarm according to the moonbase 2 podcast.

    Has there ever been anything but lukewarm reaction from the fans, seriously?
