Which Transformer was your favorite?

[ParanoiaDragon]

The ones that are tanks, are from War Within, which as I stated before, happens before G1, when they still have their Cybertronian modes.

The Dinobots were built on Earth, homey.

Their new bodies were built on earth, there sparks, according to War Within, they existed on Cybertron.  But, that's new cannon, it's up to you if you want to except if they existed before or not.

As for that Transformers episode with the GI Joe crossover, that was the one, where Cobra Commander in diguise as "Snake" makes some technology, where they transfer the minds of humans, into 4 Autobots, & the Autobots minds into the bodies of the humans.  At the end, when all is said & done, "Snake" jumps in the air & yells "COBRAAAA!"

Oh, & I remember hearing there was an episode in GI Joe with Bumblebee in it.

Cool. I didn't remember that one.

I just watched Transformers: The Movie for about the billionth time (you can watch the theatrical version in your browser right here... you get reel-change cue marks, no warping of the sound in the beginning of the movie as Unicron is digesting, you get the CrAzY cussin' that turned many children into career criminals, it's all here) and the movie just seems so... abridged.  It goes straight from Unicron being defeated to Gayimus Prime pronouncing an end to everything.  That's just one example where it seems like tons of scenes are missing, but that's the way it was made.  Animation flaws also abound.  I can't believe it took them 2 years to make that.  What was it, a team of 5 guys drawing the thing?  That might make sense, especially when you consider that Japanese anime runs at 12 frames per second and often less.  Transformers: The Movie is no exception.  Galvatron is teh suk.  Megatron is better.  The movie becomes boring the second Starscream dies.

Agreed. The whole Junkion thing is really just made for kids. The movie lost its mojo somewhere in there. I have a VHS copy of it as well as a downloaded version. I might have to pick up the DVD of it. I'm just afraid of buying anymore DVDs now that HD/BR (most likely HD in my opinion) is out now.

Meh, I love the movie.  I love the Junkions.  I even love Rodimus Prime, nowhere near as much as Optimus though.  Rodimus Prime, shows a new leader, who's unsure of his abilities, I always found that interesting, rather then, the Matrix just making him perfect.  Sure, it makes him stronger, but, no always wiser, he still has to seek help within the Matrix, not to mention, real life leadership, to learn what he's capable of.

Doesn't Rodimus shit the bed near the end of the GI series? The episode where they resurrect Optimus because of the "zombie" Transformers.

I agree that the movie slipped after Galvatron killed Starscream.  The first half had plenty of cool parts: the "Instruments of Destruction" murders, Prime versus Megatron, Megatron meeting Unicron and becoming Galvatron, Starscream's coronation and death, etc.  The second half spent too much time on Ultra Magnus fleeing/whining, and the Weird Al/junkyard parts were horrible.  Some of the post-Starscream scenes were cool though, like the Quintesson trials and Magnus getting blown apart. 

The movie is an outright Star Wars rip-off and is pretty boring to watch straight through since it's basically just one battle after another.  But I love the script; there's a classic quote to be heard like every five seconds.

And the soundtrack rocks!!

It does.  I could live without stuff like "Hunger" and "Dare to Be Stupid," but "Instruments of Destruction" kicks ass, and I like all of the instrumental stuff.  And while it would be unbearably cheesy in any other context, "The Touch" works well in this film.

Nothing's gonna stand in our way... NOT TONIGHT! 

Kup and Hot Rod are gonna have some romantic sex, and they'll be damned if anything stands in their way.

I wonder how Devastator decides to split back up?  If you were walking around, would you want to give up your consciousness, your hopes and dreams to split of into 6 individual parts?  Does Devastator just say "Fuk dis shit" and split?  Does it hurt, like having limbs and his torso severed all simultaneously?  Ouch.  Predaking was cool, but there really needed to be a 6th or maybe even 7th Predacon because his torso was way to damn small.

hahahaha 

Poor Devastator. And you know Megatron doesn't have any Decepticons with Psychology as their special ability.

Anyway, I was just on Youtube and came across some stuff on the "relationship" between Bumblebee and Arcee. And I came across this pretty cheesy video someone made. But some of the artwork is cool.

There was one episode pre-movie, where the Autobots somehow capture Devastator, & keep him in his combined form, & while he's like that, he's serving them.  But, I think generally, any robot, wants to be an individual, merging is just a way to really kick the crap out of stuff, so, it's fun, but, still, they want individuality.

As for the music, I love the movies music, Dare to be stupid & all!  Most of the music on there, I wasn't into, until after I saw the movie.  I wish they didn't movie soundtracks in the manner nowadays.  It seems like in most movies, you maybe hear 1 or 2 songs from the soundtrack

And I was thinking, I do love Megs the most, but, for some reason, I do enjoy Galvatron as well, even though he's nuts.  Actually, there's an episode, where Cyclonus ends up taking Galvatron to a planet for psychiatric help.  It's a great episode.

"Webworld"!  Incredible episode, definitely my favorite of the post-movie ones.

But Devastator is his own individual with his own mind, ambitions and goals just like anyone else.  He enjoys hanging out with friends, football games, robo-tea, you name it.  How would you feel if you were made up of 6 different a$$holes?  If you split up then each of your limbs would contain only part of your personality and mind and function independently.

Let me just tell you...it sucks.
