If you watch one homemade Japanese RC car transformer video today, make it this one. This amazing little roadster switches from sports car to dancing robot in a few seconds and it can even walk while in robot mode, and, more important, transform back into a car in the blink of an eye. → Read More
The latest Transformers game hasn’t been getting very good reviews, but that doesn’t mean you can’t represent your Cybertron love with some Transformers gaming swag. Razer’s got a new line of Death Adders with Autobot and Decepticon logos and colors, along with a Prime-emblazoned Vespula mousepad and some serious-looking laptop sleeves. Personally I’m not a big fan of… → Read More
Just the other day it hit me that my childhood icons were scam. TMNT, Power Rangers, Transformers, GI Joe. All the TV shows and comics that I loved and adored are nothing more than extended advertisements for the lucrative toy action figures. The story tellers wrote the canons with toy sales in mind. More characters meant more things mom and dad would have to buy for junior. It blew my mind. → Read More
The next, and supposedly final, Transformers movie is due for release on July 1, but how can you have a popcorn movie without the popcorn? In this case “the popcorn” is Transformers themed 3D glasses. Hmm. → Read More
Oh, China. When it’s not trying to pass off Top Gun footage as anything other than a horrible movie it’s building the world’s biggest statue of Optimus Prime. Nothing wrong with that. → Read More
These are, well, amazing photos. The story goes Leo from TheChive simply walked past barricades and security surrounding the Transformers 3 shoot in downtown Chicago. His 56 published pics seem to confirm the tale. He seemed close enough to catch a whiff of McDreamy’s pheromones. Scary thought. → Read More
The stage is set. The lines are drawn. It’s the battle of the ages. Optimus Prime vs RX-78-2. Transformers vs Gundam. → Read More
So imagine you head into your office one day, and find that an alley outside your window has been turned into a set for Transformers 3 — there are cameras and booms and you can hear Michael Bay yelling. They’re about to pneumatically fire a car down the street (it’s been Transformer-punched, you presume) so you whip out your iPhone and start recording. Up it goes on YouTube and… down it… → Read More
I honestly didn’t know there was even going to be a third Transformers movie until a few minutes ago, but I guess it was to be expected. Anyway, Bumblebee himself has been spotted and is wearing a bunch of new OEM-looking mods. There’s a new front fascia, grill, ground effects, hood, rims, and an actually good-looking rear spoiler. But the design is so pedestrian (what’s with the antenna?) that … → Read More
Last week, T-Mobile teased us all with a little jab on Twitter about the HTC HD2 that it will be shipping soon. It was exciting and, to be frank, it made me a little antsy. As promised, T-Mobile announced new features for the HD2 at Mobile World Congress today and I’ve gotta say, it isn’t all that thrilling. → Read More
I’m trying to remember the last good thing to come from the Transformers franchise and am sadly unable to do so. Well, that’s not entirely true, the awful Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen did have the magnificent Shia LeBeouf. Some girl named Megan Fox was also in the film, but no one really pays attention to her. → Read More
Brando, home of the odd USB device, finally has a product I want to order. No no, it’s not a heated slipper or a spy camera, it’s a Transformers USB drive. How cool is that? → Read More
This is just wrong. I’ll admit, I didn’t enjoy “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. I thought the plot was weak and contrived, and I was slightly offended by the dumbing down of the film (robot urination and racial stereotypes? give me a break). I realize that the original “Transformers” wasn’t exactly the height of cinematic art, but it was better then the sequel. → Read More
Yeah, we get it. It’s a Rubix Cube that’s supposed to look like the AllSpark of Transformers’ lore. Clever. Hopefully those shinny stickers come off nice and easy so I can solve the damn thing. $13.99 and coming in November. [Entertainment Earth via Gearfuse] → Read More
Sorry for the delay, kids. It’s been a little busy around CG HQ. Without further ado, here are the winners of the Target exclusive Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Superion action figure. Check your inbox! Thanks to everyone for entering and we’ll be sure to team up with Target and Hasbro again in the future to give away more Transformers. → Read More
Autobots, roll out!
The first batch of DLC for Activision and Luxoflux’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is slated for an August 27 launch for the Xbox 360 (800 MS points) and PS3 ($9.99). The entire DLC list is detailed below but the quick and dirty version is as follows: eight new playable characters, three new character skins, three new multiplayer maps and a “Expert” level for… → Read More
My brother made a great car-based Transformer costume back in the day that he could actually roll in (pictures, brother?), but this is perhaps even more impressive. It’s apparently being used at a car dealership as some sort of promotion. If they could but guarantee any car I bought there would transform into a friendly robot, I would happily pay top dollar. → Read More
Don’t forget to enter our contest to win one of five Target exclusive Hasbro Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Superion badasses. Go here and enter. Now. Do it. Contest ends tomorrow. → Read More
Big, bad Bay just pushed out the press release confirming the October 20 street date for both the DVD and Blu-ray of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Both the DVD and Blu-ray versions will come in a two-disc variety (single disc DVD will be available as well). The two-disc packages will include “augmented reality technology” that give owners a chance to rebuild a broken down Prime using… → Read More
I liked the Dinobots as a kid and wouldn’t mind seeing them in the third Transformers movie, but who am I kidding? I’m still unhappy with Prime’s moving lips. And for the record, I thought Revenge of the Fallen was entertaining even though Sam ends up in Prime heaven. Anyway, comicbookmovie.com is reporting that Bay was quoted in Empire’s September issue with the following: → Read More
I know that I’m totally out of Hasbro’s targeted demo, but the Target exclusive Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Superion is the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to assemble. A month after the fact, I still haven’t been able to put it together, which is why Target is hooking us up with five Superions to give away. I challenge all of you to do better than me (if you win). I remember the… → Read More
Okay, so Paramount hasn’t official stated the Transfomers 2 release date, but we’re inclined to believe this sign. Why would Trans World Entertainment Corp (FYE, Sam Goody, etc) spend all that money to design and print signs if it didn’t know the release date? It wouldn’t. And according to the source, there is going to be a limited edition steelcase release if you wanna… → Read More
Remember when GM came out and proclaimed that the company will be different from here on out? Well, the Chevy Camaro Transformers mash-up proves that buried somewhere under the piles of Government loans, remnants of the old company still exists. For only $995, you can buy into a fad and forever brand a LT or SS Camaro as a nerd car for the rest of its life with badges and racing strips. Plus… → Read More
Short Version: Friends, this is the nerdiest and coolest Nintendo DS Lite case that a Transformers fan could ask for. What kid (12-year-old or 35-year-old) wouldn’t want their DS too look like Bumblebee or Megatron? Do you see the stylus that each set comes with? Pick one up for your kid or yourself. They’re only $20. → Read More
Activision and Luxoflux would announce new DLC for T:ROTF on the day my review goes live. D’oh! Over TEN new multiplayer characters including ultimate fan favorites such as G1 Starscream and movie favorites like Sideswipe. Three all-new multiplayer maps. Play new characters in both the Autobot and Decepticon single player campaigns. New Expert difficulty mode with a fresh set of leaderboards… → Read More
Movie licensed games have generally sucked something fierce. Very rarely are any of them ever any good, and the same goes for movies based on videogames. Something gets lost in translation. Development is typically rushed to coincide with simultaneous launches, and gamers are the ones who suffer the most. There are a few diamonds in the rough (X-Men Origins: Wolverine was pretty good), but… → Read More
Optimus Prime goes on Letterman and reads the top ten things that sound cool when spoken by a giant robot. I liked number nine: “Do you have these khakis in a size 114?” [via Topless Robot] → Read More
Don’t want to waste $37 to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen at the movie theater? Most critics wouldn’t blame you although a lot of fans are enjoying the summer flick. But anyway, watch the video above and save yourself some cash. It tells the same story and has a proportionate amount of explosions. → Read More
CrunchGear, at the movies! Peter’s been talking pretty much non-stop about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for the past few days, and it brings me great joy to say that, despite the horrendous reviews—this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read—it’s well on its way to becoming the worst reviewed $400 million movie ever. The movie has been in theaters for five days now and it’s already… → Read More
