For the Transformers heads: Hasbro's $575 Unicron Figure Takes Almost an Entire Hour to Transform

Is he completely wrong about some of what he saying?




I mean did traumatize a looooooooooot of kids back then.

I watched it again after not watching it since childhood and it didn't she well for me im didn't like thepace but still fuck this guy. Hes an idiot hes just as bad as avi arad no wonder Sony can barely get a win. A little before rise of the beast was released je got into a disagreement with the director at comicon or something over whether the new movies are canon with the bayformers, this idiot wants the reboot movies to be canon to the baycrap. HE doesnt even understand the lore pf what hes producing. It was prolly his stupid ass idea to make wheeljack into a south american beach camper. Sony and Paramount should do what warner did and get rid of the suits that were holding back their success especially avi arad and get them a james gunn of their own to jandle the entertainment side of these companies.

Traumatized?

God, you going to make me watch this shit right now. I don't even need to hear the dialogue. I remember it by heart

"For a time I considered sparing your invisible planet, now you shall witness its dismemberment"

That's a cold ass line. I mean damn when you see Galvatron next to Unicron it's like an ant sitting next to Shaq

I still don't know what the fuck Galvatron was thinking

 

[tajshan]

I still don't know what the fuck Galvatron was thinking

Yeah, I don't he understood WHO Unicron was.

 

[jack walsh13]

Yeah, I don't he understood WHO Unicron was.

He fucked around and found out.

 

[jack walsh13]

Starscream was one disloyal, backbitin mufucka....
Megatron turn his back on em for 2 seconds and he trying to take him out.....lol.
Now Soundwave was loyal to the end.

Word.

Bruuuuuuuuh!

Same here. I can recall, slightly, I think the movie came to my hometown that Monday. My mom called that Wednesday theater to check for showtimes on that Friday the week of - and was gone



When the 3rd season started I was like who the hell are this guys (as I didn't recall who Springer and Kup were)? It was until watching the 3rd ep of that series that I understood what happened and didn't help that I heard a kid say "Optimus died early in that film" that it sunk in.

I just watched this movie 2 days ago. Orson Wells had an amazing voice as Unicron.

I thought everybody saw the movie when it came out. When I got to be an adult and saw that the movie flopped and only made like 9 million in the theater. I was like, how? Everybody I knew saw it. They had the commercials going all the time

Dope concept...

But the artist needs to learn perspective & angles. Shit is all fucked up. Ain't seen shit this sloppy since Liefeld was doing Heroes Return.

And they should have had Devastator lamping in the background.

They could have had Ravage in that lower right hand corner also.

YEP - that's how big I've always felt city-bots like Metroplex, Fort Max, Trypticon, and Scorponok should be. The three in the front is Defensaor, Superion, and Skylynx - the big combiners.

I'm putting this together this week. He's huge. Very heavy.

His leg fell on my fucking foot! Thought my damn foot broke! Shit

Hot Rod really fucked up interfering I wanted to beat his fuckin ass as a kid

This is dope as fuck!!!!! Soundwave needs to be next.

That was a cold ass line. Unicron was badass. Serious question, How gigantic must Unicron have been? How big you got to be to make a planet look like a beach ball or one of those balls you sit on at work?

Robot Morphs Midair To Switch From Flying To Rolling On Terrain
May 29, 2025

Specialized robots that can both fly and drive typically touch down on land before attempting to transform and drive away. But when the landing terrain is rough, these robots sometimes get stuck and are unable to continue operating.

Now a team of Caltech engineers has developed a real-life Transformer that has the "brains" to morph in midair, allowing the dronelike robot to smoothly roll away and begin its ground operations without pause. The increased agility and robustness of such robots could be particularly useful for commercial delivery systems and robotic explorers.

The new robot, dubbed ATMO (aerially transforming morphobot), uses four thrusters to fly, but the shrouds that protect them become the system's wheels in an alternative driving configuration. The whole transformation relies on a single motor to move a central joint that lifts ATMO's thrusters up into drone mode or down into drive mode.

The researchers describe the robot and the sophisticated control system that drives it in a paper recently published in the journal Communications Engineering

"We designed and built a new robotic system that is inspired by nature—by the way that animals can use their bodies in different ways to achieve different types of locomotion," says Ioannis Mandralis, a graduate student in aerospace at Caltech and lead author of the new paper. For example, he says, birds fly and then change their body morphology to slow themselves down and avoid obstacles. "Having the ability to transform in the air unlocks a lot of possibilities for improved autonomy and robustness," Mandralis says.

But midair transformation also poses challenges. Complex aerodynamic forces come into play both because the robot is close to the ground and because it is changing its shape as it morphs.

"Even though it seems simple when you watch a bird land and then run, in reality this is a problem that the aerospace industry has been struggling to deal with for probably more than 50 years," says Mory Gharib, Ph.D., the Hans W. Liepmann Professor of Aeronautics and Medical Engineering, director and Booth-Kresa Leadership Chair of Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST), and director of the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT).

All flying vehicles experience complicated forces close to the ground. Think of a helicopter, as an example. As it comes in for a landing, its thrusters push lots of air downward. When that air hits the ground, some portion of it bounces back up; if the helicopter comes in too quickly, it can get sucked into a vortex formed by that reflected air, causing the vehicle to lose its lift.

Lego’s first buildable Decepticon Transformer is a talking Soundwave

Lego’s first buildable Decepticon Transformer is a talking Soundwave

Soundwave will be available in early August for $189.99.

www.theverge.com

Following buildable versions of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, Lego’s latest collaboration with Hasbro is also its first Decepticon. The 1,505-piece Soundwave, which is three pieces smaller than Lego’s 1,508-piece Optimus Prime, stands just shy of 13 inches tall and is Lego’s first Transformers set to include a sound brick — but you may have to continue making transforming sound effects yourself.

At $189.99, Soundwave will also be Lego’s most expensive Transformers set to date when it goes on sale starting on August 1st for Lego Insiders (the company’s free loyalty program) and August 4th for everyone else. Optimus Prime is currently $179.99, while the much smaller Bumblebee is $89.99...

The model transforms from robot to cassette player modes without requiring any disassembly.

Soundwave features an electronic brick that plays voice and sound effects when its play button is pressed.

2Buildable versions of Ravage and Laserbeak are included, and transform into compact cassette tapes.

The cassettes can be inserted into Soundwave’s chest​

Im definitely getting that. Might get 2, one to display and keep one in the box lol.
