It’s worth watching as this RC car drives on screen. What’s the fuss about? That would be a fair question to ask if you hadn’t seen the title of the post. The car really transforms. I think the bar is higher now. Can it transform from car to standing robot quickly? How mobile and agile […]
Hasbro slips into the red despite growth in Magic: the Gathering
Hasbro have posted their financial results for the first quarter of 2012. There are some mixed signals but the overall performance of the company is down. To blame? Girls and bad games. The company has four product categories. Here they are along with their 2012 Q1 performance and percentage change. Boys made $302.8m in net […]
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron trailer
Due out in 2012 from Activision is the latest Transformers game. It’ll be available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and looks better than the last film. It may even be all robot action – after all, it is called Fall of Cybertron. The game is being put together by High Moon Studios and they […]
Geek car stickers
There are some car stickers that are just bad. They’re either dull or perhaps try and broadcast some personal information to the world. However, there are a few car decal stickers – or decals, if you want to use the crafty term – that are ace. Rather than trying to tell the world that pray […]
Transformers 3 borrows scenes – stunning proof
This may be a geek crime but I just can’t bring myself to care about Transformers 3. It’s a ruined franchise for me. I still like the Transformers. I just want to divorce the Bay movies from my fandom. I heard that T3 borrowed some scenes from Transformers 2. My only reaction was the hope […]
Optimus Prime forged from spare parts and scrap
A huge geek native shoutout to Rachel Blackman for this photograph of the Autobot leader, forged from scrap metal and given something of a steampunk look. Rachel snapped this while at the Solstice Festival in Fremont but was somewhat shy of the £300 required to take Optimus home. I would have been in the same […]
Thriller Autobots
Sometimes you don’t know what’s missing from your life until you see it and understand it hasn’t been there until now. It might be the case that until today you never knew that Transformers dancing to Wacko Jacko’s Thriller was an Autobot shaped hole in your soul. Well! Worry no more. Today that Autobot shaped […]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon game trailer
I can only hope Transformers 3 turns out to be a good movie. My levels of hope for this are not high. I’m not sure either the filmhouse or the directors involved understand what the fans want. The trailer for the game looks better! Why? It seems like a far more straight forward proposition. That’s […]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon Super Bowl trailer
It should be no surprise that Mr Michael Bay has managed to land a Super Bowl trailer for the next Transformers movie. I have to admit that this is the first time that Dark of The Moon has looked tempted to me. I thought the second Transformers movie had killed the weak franchise off for […]
I Am Optimus Prime: the music video
Screen Team have applied their tried and tested comedy music skills to the Transformers. The result is a parody of The Time by Black Eyed Peas. As is increasingly common with these YouTube hits you can even buy this track from iTunes if that takes your fancy. What’s to say in reponse to lyrics like […]
