UN Spacy Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Nice work Solscud007, I still have the original one with die-cast, kinda loose and floppy now.NOW OFF-TOPIC SOME NEWS FROM TF THE LIVE ACTION MOVIE : From : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0191520/board/nest/6322852 [/b][/i] Thatd be good IF that information wasn't nearly a year old.
Renato Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 BT version Ravage just came out in Japan and he's called... "Ravage"!! OK, for those who don't know, the original Ravage in Japan was called "Jaguar" (while Laserbeak was called "Condor"... Stupid unimaginative translators), and so I had always foreseen difficulties if they were to release him under that name in Japan and not have him transform into a Jaguar-make car. Well, they took care of that by giving him his proper name 21 years later.
promethuem5 Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Stupid unimaginative translators *smack* You DO know that TF came out in Japan FIRST, right?
Radd Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Did Japanese Transformers keep the same names as their Diaclone/Microman counterparts? Because as a show, Transformers was an American creation made to sell the toys Hasbro had licensed.
RFT Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Some did (Convoy, Ligier, arguably Lambor), most didn't. Most of the diaclone toys were just named after the alt mode anyway, they didn't have "names" as such. IN most cases, it seems to be that the japanese used the "transformer" names, and if they didn't, then they used the alt-mode name such as Diaclone: Ligier JS39 race car > US TF: Mirage > JP TF: Ligier (sometimes called rijie, due to the R/L confusion) exception: Diaclone: Porsche 935 Turbo > US TF: Jazz > JP TF: Meister though, there seems to be very little logic in what toys kept US names and what didn't.
Solscud007 Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Took the Kaiyodo TF rumble and jacked his piledrivers. For my G1 Rumble!!!
Doctor Paragon Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Stupid unimaginative translators *smack* You DO know that TF came out in Japan FIRST, right? The molds did. Not the TF names, storyline, or packaging, that was created in the US by Hasbro and Marvel Comics. For the first 4 waves the Tf figures were released in the states first and would be ported over to Japan after about 3 months. After TF started to tank, Takara started to make up new characters and molds (IE, Starsaber, Deathzaras etc.).
promethuem5 Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Oh..... my bad. I will just go feel stupid in the corner now.....
hevangel2 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 I got a question, do you know the MPC#2 Ultra Magius will come with the prime core inside his chest? If not what are they going to fill up that void?
trueblueeyes Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 I got a question, do you know the MPC#2 Ultra Magius will come with the prime core inside his chest? If not what are they going to fill up that void? Yeah, it comes with the Matrix. It actually comes with all the accessories that MP Prime came with. (ax, gun, etc...same things, just repainted to match Magnus). AFAIK, the only thing different with MP-02 besides the repaint is that the paper trailer it comes with is the one for Ultra Magnus. (which IMO looks like an ugly origami mess...)
NERV Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 wow, i went to walmart today and they a huge pile of silverstreaks and thats it, pissed off at walmart i ent over to target wher ei found windcharger, swindle, ravage, and grimlock, but NO MEISTER which is the one i really want, i picked up grimlock thse and he is badass, be nice if the sword was a tad longer tho, btw anyone who would know, how is the poseability on windcharger? i have been avoiding the alts that arent very poseable (viper and vette) so if anyone could rate it thatd be nice
GreenGuy42 Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Shockblast has been reported in Ohio and some other mid-western states. Keep your eyes peeled.
Hoptimus Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 wow, i went to walmart today and they a huge pile of silverstreaks and thats it, pissed off at walmart i ent over to target wher ei found windcharger, swindle, ravage, and grimlock, but NO MEISTER which is the one i really want, i picked up grimlock thse and he is badass, be nice if the sword was a tad longer tho, btw anyone who would know, how is the poseability on windcharger? i have been avoiding the alts that arent very poseable (viper and vette) so if anyone could rate it thatd be nice Windcharger is not very posable. His shoulders make his arms stuck to 90 degree poses and his legs are like the Vipers.
Valkfan Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Windcharger is not very posable. His shoulders make his arms stuck to 90 degree I already provided two simple solutions to this problem HERE.

FlyingPika Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks BoBe-Patt for the links!!!! Is ultra magnus optimus prime but with peices attached to him that transform into a trailer ???? I dont understand, i thought they where two completely different designs (ive only ever seen transformers the movie)
zeo-mare Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 in the USA Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime are 2 different characters, from what i heard in japan they were the same character. as you probably know most transformers are taken from a series called Diaclone and were simply repackaged under a new flashier name and toyline , appearently Prime is just called Convoy in the Diaclone series and Ultra Magnus was Ultra Convoy, though i may be wrong, they only became seperate characters in the USA series. somebody please correct me if i am wrong.
VF Strike Valk Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 They were seperate characters in the movie?
zeo-mare Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 yea Prime and Ultra Magnus are 2 different characters in the US Cartoon and movie
BoBe-Patt Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 They were seperate characters in the movie? wow, someone needs to watch the movie again!

Yeap. The jap version basically picks up where the US version left off so ultra magnus is a different character like the US one.
Feyd-Rautha Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 man, ...no word on the new live action movie...none at all?
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 I just happened to be walking my kid through the toy section at Wally World (Wal-Mart) and out of the corner of my eye I saw a Grimlock Alt. My wife was soooooo pissed, but I knew if I didn't grab it then, it wouldn't be there much longer. Made that mistake when I seen Jazz.
