Yeah, I'll just not use the DivX player anymore. Especially now that the newest version comes bundled with adware. Got M03 downloaded through BT and all my codecs in working order, and just got done watching it. Yet another fantastic episode! Thanks so much Spykes, your crew does a spectacular job. The only thing that troubles me is that with each episode I watch, my desire for toys grows. Someone needs to get some swag out soon, be it Yamato or whoever. At this point I'd be happy to see a cheap Banpresto variable!

OK, explain this one to me. I've never been able to maintain a Bit Torrent download. Not since I first started using BT over a year ago. Everything will be working fine for the first 15 to 20 minutes, and then my computer reboots itself. OK, then i resume and the same thing happens, only the second time it may run for up to an hour before it zaps my system. I've installed several different BT clients, most recently the 'Shadow's Experimental' version (which I like the best so far), and the same thing still happens. Anyone want to tackle this one? And another thing, ever since I 'upgraded' my DivX 3 player to the newest version (5.something), I've been unable to play anything on it. I just get green interference. I've gotten rid of all my old codecs, downloaded new ones, and I just downloaded ffdshow and still I get the same green interference. Gah!

I'll most likely get one of these when they are (eventually) released, but I see no need to preorder.

It looks fine, but the heft of the Binaltech version, plus the realistic looking paint job mean so much more to me than a couple barely noticable paint chips. Really though, people blow the chipping paint all out of proportion. Here's how I plan to handle the Binaltech/Alternators thing: If I really, really like the figure (Smokescreen) I'll get the Binaltech version. If I like the figure enough to want it, but it isn't neccessarily a work of art (Sideswipe and Hound), I'll get the Alternators version.

I am getting at least two of those. The Kaiyodo one from a few years back is nice, but this one looks far better. Here's hoping for an Asuka and Shinji and Misato and Pen Pen to go with it.

Beware the Mechaswan, beware the Mechaswan!! In other words: ick. I've seen worse, but...ick.

This is ALWAYS the episode I show to newcomers, and it works every time.

It all sounds fine to me. Star Wars has become somewhat of a freak show anyway, so I'll just sit back and watch whatever whim Lucas decides to put on screen. I just don't care anymore.

Wow, episode 10 was the best one so far. That's some fine space fightin' if I ever saw some! The wait for the next 10 eps is going to be grueling.

Wave 1 consists of Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Soundwave (with ravage cassette), Starscream. There were three chase figures, red Bumblebee, Skywarp, and Prime's trailer.

The lighter blue parts and orange cockpit are supposed to be that way to match the animated Starscream (like the changes on the New Year Prime reissue).

I'm thrilled about all the extra scenes, they really lend a more complete feel to the film. The extra Merry/Pip/Treebeard parts are my favorite. It was really, really great to see 'Old Man Willow' swallow Merry and Pip, and to hear Treebeard say some Tom Bombadil lines. Now I don't feel as bad about the Bombadil section being removed.

Holy smokes, they DO have diecast feet! I never noticed that. Not a really ground-shaking discovery I guess, but it lends more of a quality feel to them. I can't find any die-cast on my Bumblebee either.

Hey, Tracks is one of my favorites, you just played too rough. As for the diecast parts, I'm skeptical of it myself but it would be cool. It would be even cooler if Prime's trailer is re-released in NON-chase manner. It really stinks that in order to complete my mini-Prime I'd have to spend over $30 on Ebay for such a tiny piece of plastic. <_<

It's been confirmed that the paper trailer is part of the Takara packaging! http://adctalk.com/index.php?act=ST&f=42&t=1948905 Sure, a cardboard trailer isn't as cool as a real one, but it's better than nothing! I'll still try to make my own custom trailer though.

Is anyone else going to take off the rollbars, cut down the doors and put some nice white stars on the hood? He may not be exactly why you want, but at least it's an easy custom.

Wheeee! I love these little guys! I didn't think they'd be able to pull off a good looking Megs, but this tiny version is just as beautifully ugly as the original. Oh, and this wave supposedly has some die-cast parts in it! http://www.tformers.com/article.php?sid=2198&mode=flat I wonder what happened to Tracks, Hot Rod and Skids though...?

...if that trailer turns out to be nothing more than a prop they used for the photo, and not offered for sale, I'm going on a killing spree. As for Hasbro's packaging, if it's the real deal, I can't believe they'd wrap up their best toy ever in such garbage. Not that I really care though, I'm not buying their version anyway.

Isn't Optimus Prime in that episode?

Awesome! But it would look much better without the rollbars and full doors. Should be easy to customize. I can't get over how cool the Binaltech/Alternators are, what a dream come true!

I think the whole Fox network should be 'cancelled' for canning Family Guy in the first place (AND Futurama, AND Andy Richter). Maybe King of the Hill will finally die by 2005 and open up a prime spot for Family Guy.

Meh, I guess I'll stick with Will at Blasto then.

I'd like to know how much HLJ shipping would be too. I want to order from them to get it faster, but not if shipping is going to be over $10. Wish it was easier to figure out shipping costs on that site.

Cool! I didn't know there was an Asimo figure. Thanks, now I've got another thing to troll Ebay for. Anyone know if there is a figure of Sony's QRio robot?

Wow, that truly would have been a terrible film.
