On the one hand, that's cool to hear Bumblebee and Welker (and the guy's right...that sounds like Tiamat...very strange). But on the other hand, that's crap! It's 20 minutes long...and only 3 minutes of it is Issue #1, the only issue worth getting of the four, in my opinion.

I'm certainly glad I didn't get that version last night.

(It turns out Bumblebee is really British. Go figure!)
I knew there was a reason he was cool.

The mini-movie may not be the greatest but there is one thing I really liked.....THE Megatron is back!!! May Frank Welker stand beside Peter Cullen for Transformers II. Before I saw the credits, there was just something familiar about the voice, but could not place it as Frank.

Regarding the movie comics, some info via Predacons...

Ted Adams: "2007 has seen IDW make major moves outside of the direct market. In January, Alan Payne joined IDW as our VP of Sales and he's done an incredible job of getting our books into bookstores. We, literally, shipped millions of copies of Transformers comic books and graphic novels in 2007. Because 95% of those books were sold outside of the direct market, that success goes unnoticed in the comics press because those sales don't end up on Diamond's monthly market share report or top 300."

Awesome news. :up:

I grabbed the single-disk edition. Doesn't look like there are any special features (at least none listed), but that's cool. I didn't even notice until dinner, when I was looking at it that it came with a mouse pad. Gonna watch it on Friday with my buddy. She's been wanting to see it, for a while. :)
