they cant fuck about with prime

thing is, are they going to do it pre-"the movie" (S1+2) or post "the move" S3+ as theyre both set years apart and are kinda like different worlds.

also they MIGHT not use megatron, remember in the movie megatron was tuned into galvatron. they kight use that as it's easier to scale him intoa big fuck of artilery gun than a fucking pistol

i'm not too sure what the technical term for it is but the size differentials but both the heroic autobots and the evil decipticons can do it
soundwave, shockwave and megatron as well as the cassttes rumble, ravage, ratbat, frenzy and obviously lazerbeak can change size for some unexplained reason as can the mini autobots, remmeber that bumblebee and co are the same size as spike but spike can get inside them when they transform

the comics sort of fill in for the missing 20 years between 86 and 06 but i'm sure they will use magatron rather than galvatron
and do you know why i'm so sure?
beacuse prime doesn't exist at the same time as galvatron does (prime is injured beyond repair by megatron but he still vanquishes his arch nemisis ) who is later dispatched from astro train by an cackling starscream (who's voice won't be voiced by the actor who voiced him because he is not longer with us rip possibly the most unique voice ever) and thus he is turned into galvatron by unicron (the last film role credited to orson wells btw)

so you get this whole sort of interwoven storyline that means you cannot have prime without megatron, and you can't turn megatron into a waterpistol to sooth the idiot minority who want to banish guns because then there would BE no film
who wants to see them throwing flowers at each other when in the original we had scenes such as prime throwing an oil tanker (not the ones you see on the backs of trucks, the ones you see superman making holes in in superman 3) so its got ot be proper rocking rather than boring as tapestry

you never know, they might weven have brian may doing the soundtrack

Jim Galbally

dojj,

but didnt they find prime on a space shuttle heading for the sun? so he came backk into the storyline whilst galvatron was still alive? i'm sure ive seen some prime vs galvatron stuff in the 3rd/4th season, just before they create those transforming head things.

Wazzzer

yes they found Primes body, recreated him, he was killed again and his brain savedd to disc.

Later the disc was taken to Nebulon (where the Headmasters were) and used their technology to revive him with the help of Hi-Q turning him into a Power Master (fuck me this is sad I can rememeber all this lol)

Jim Galbally

ah, i havent seen the headmasters ones yuo see so didnt know that.

when did prime die (again)?

oh, and WHAT THE FUCK IS A POWER MASTER?

PT

fuck me I thought I knew my stuff. I remember after the film finished the voice over said optimus prime will return

Jim Galbally

i want to know what the fuck happened between season2 and the movie,

they skipped about 10 years worth of story suddenly spike's an old man

dojj

they put prime into a big mausaleaum and sent them into space
hot rod and crew found it after being chased by galvatron
daniel was the first one who freacked out
anyway, prime was awake and had been "fixed" by the quintesons, who are generally regarded as being the creators of the transformers* to lure all the autobots into a suicide mission
even with one arm and no matrix prime still saved the day (ok, so the line was something like "you can't beat me, the matrix makes me too strong" as he threw rodimus through another wall )
and then he becomes "good" again and steers the ship into quinteson headquaters

later on in the 3rd serioes he returns after being infected with some space dust which turns everyone made and crazy (that was a 2 parter) but he's STILL the best hero you can get

Wazzzer

I'm gonna go and get my comics when I got to my parents next, need a few to complete the full lot, got a feeling ebay can help me out

oops, forgot the *

* there are several throeies regarding the creation of the transformers and cybertron but this is my favorite
there were 2 "gods" from another dimension, one good, one evil
and, after trashing the other dimension the good one decided to save everything and trick the evil one to finish him for good
so they jump dimensions and end up in 2 asteroid/plaentoids
slowly their essences turned them into living beings and thus the transowermers (and unicron) were formed
there is another tangent in that the quintesons devloped the transformers as slaves, much like the sharkticons in the movie, but they broke free of the oppresion and fled to cybetron to live their own lives
that is why the quints were able to revive a seemlessly unrevivable prime when no one else could

PT

you know your stuff mate, but I rember an episode when the decepticons built some cars and so the autobots built some planes, and vector sigma gave them life and that was what give them all life.

just my geeky pennys worth

the "film" is set in 2006
the first 2 series were set in the mid 80's, then we had a 20 year gap for the film, then the 3rd series, and then the 4th series, which was just the 3 parter known as the headmasters (with scorpanoc etc)

PT

unicron was built by an alien thing. and later on the alien made another being which was made of energy and could turn into many things. the dinobots saved the day along with all the robots good and bad that resembled animals

dojj

they were the stuticons and the gesault merger thing called menasour
and the areilbots to form superion
and the episode title was the key to vector sigma

dojj

the animals were the preadacons (together forming predaking) but the rest i htink is dependant on which timeline you subscrible to
either uk comics, us comics of the animated series
