Congrats, man. That is awesome.

I love the details on that guy--little Pepsi logos on the ears = brilliant.

So that release date has turned out to be a load, right?

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I'm really pleased! A completely free Pepsi Prime--I didn't even pay postage. And what's more, I totally wasn't even expecting it. We just came home, and there it was on my doorstep! It was such a nice day, so I just had to share.

It's hard to tell. I started submitting codes and entering them in the sweeps a few weeks ago. They don't tell you if you've won; they just send you the Prime if they draw one of your codes. So it could have been the first code, it could have been the thirtieth (I've now submitted up to forty two, s...

Well, the codes came from the underside of the pepsi cap, but yes.

After a few weeks of entering codes, I just got a pepsi prime in the mail!

Here's to hoping (though I recognize the near-futility of such a hope) that we see the same treatment for a legal MP Megatron.

I am so glad I didn't buy the Takara version!

Originally posted by trilobitepictures And is it just me, or are there quite a few new people sprouting up on the various Transformers boards singing the praises of the movie? I seem to remember a very similar thing happening with GODZILLA. Yes, it is both a conspiracy AND just like Godzilla. You k...

Originally posted by BlueSkids I liked the trailers, the photos, the scenes in Youtube, I even liked the robot designs and I bought the toys... but the movie is, well, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but it's bad. Real bad*. You shouldn't worry about hurting any of our feelings--we didn't ...

This is the first thoroughly negative review of the movie that I have seen. http://www.moviehole.net/reviews/20070625_the_transformers.html Although I expect many of the things he mentions (cliche humans, etc.), I hope it doesn't get in the way of my ability to enjoy the film. Oh, and he seems to be...

So much for the Speilbergian approach of making us wait until we are in the theaters before we see the goods.

I don't want to spoil any of this for myself, but I can't ... look ... away ... . It's got some kind of hold on me.

This title track by Mutemath.. I barf in its general direction because in my ears at least, and from others' views I have read, it isn't what should have been.

An articulate critique; well-put.

Originally posted by Clogs What're we going to watch on screen? Giant robots in slow mo? I think not... So far, that is what we in fact *have* seen (Bonecrusher vs. Prime; Scorponok emerging from the sand). But I guess you mean to refer to the entire movie, not just choice snippets. Well, you shoul...

Not bad at all. No cheezy rapping or roll-call. Pretty decent drumming.

Originally posted by TFVanguard Completely different. The classic theme doesn't make an 'appearance' at all - even, apparently, as an homaged cord (like what ST:TMP did with the original Trek theme) Too bad, really... Did you post this before you listened to the song in question? Look, I agree for ...

Copying this over...

Why did you go through the effort of pasting this here? Appeal to popular opinion is an ignoratio elenchi. Was the trailer any good? --that is the question. Whether popular audiences think so is beside the point.

Originally posted by TFVanguard Hey, the transformation sound is a much needed piece of nostalgia, so I'm not going to blast that. Besides, the whole idea that 'it's alien, so PSYHICS ARE DIFFERENT', which has been said a number of times down, is dee-dee-dee! I said that one should not expect famil...

While I am a huge fan of the presence of the G1 tf-sound, I will admit that if you are not expecting it, it will stand out to your mind. That said, why be surprised by this? After all, this movie is supposed to present alien beings--why suppose that their transformation should sound like nothing mor...

In all honesty, I was skeptical when the first robot designs emerged. Now I'm not.
