Besides, it's not a joke so much as contemptuous sarcasm. All are welcome to pursue it!

And I hear Boomer's left King of the Hill! With a Cylon!

...I don't have the hang of this, do I?

I enjoy contempt, primarily due to the fact I'm pretty sure I can spell it correctly.

But on topic, I look forward to this show, might as well give it a chance, can't be any worse than whats out there already and I'm pretty sure there'll be some toys not tied to it, tho I'd expect a line of repaints or something just as cheap, but just my speculation.

If Starbuck is female now, what does the future hold in store for the A-Team?

Mr. T being replaced by a white guy in touch with his feminine side?

I'm pretty certain the Con's will be the ones supplying Cybertronian tech to human villains. Thus I expect lots of drones and humans in transforming exo-suits. Or at least I hope we don't get another Mechanic... :O Or maybe there'll be super-powered humans. Think about it, Circuit Breaker would look cool in such a design.

Given that the writers/directors and producers worked on Teen Titans and TMNT, among others, I expect the Cons will be similar to the Brotherhood of Evil or the Foot Clan, or, Magneto's mutants in the series. They won't be in every episode, but they'll be the major threat, often advancing their plots from the background, using these human villains as pawns. I expect by the second half of the first season the Con involvement will grow, ending in a multi-parter season finale... maybe that'll be the first battle between Prime and Megs, too.

-Bumblebee is having a bad year in terms of having a mouth.
-Is that ambulance First Aid? Ratchet? Red Alert? Place your bets.

BB does have a mouth on this pic...

The Bots are:

-OP (firetruck)
-Ratchet (ambulance)
-Prowl (motorcycle)
-Bumblebee (yellow car)
-Bulkhead (military transport)

BUlkhead is a new character, I got his name from reports over at TFW2005. Of course there are already people who say they saw a video of transforming the new Ratchet prototype...

But the other names are 100% sure, we knew they were in the show months ago.

Oh and that 'Bonecrusher hates' pic is an obvious fake. Not much news about the Cons, we know Megs and Screamer will be there, there was a rumor of a Con called Lugnut or LUgnutz in the series...

When people are sitting down to make a new cartton, why is there no one on board who says:
"lets make somthing total badd-ass, like a manga but with TF? - you know somthing even adults will watch, like that ulysses 31 from years ago, yeah that was cool..."

Instead we get.

"I know, lets chuck out the old plot, change the concept, use a visuall style thats bound to alarm people and doesnt really lend itself to giant mechanical alien robots, and generally screw the fans over..."

So, Bulkhead will be the 'old soldier', like the Energon character.

Guess Lugnutz will be a rebellious loner type, with a slightly 'cool' alt mode, like in Cybertron, then?

New news from Botcon.

Prime (David Kaye)
Bumblebee (Bumper Robinson--'Chris Rock' like)
Ultra Magnus (Jeff Dennis-- very Robert Stack-y)
Arcee (Susan Blu reprisal?)
Black Arachnia (Cree Summer)

Lugnut (David Kaye)
Starscream (Tom Kenney)
Ratchet (Corey Burton)
Shockwave (Corey Burton)
Megatron (Corey Burton)
Jazz (Phil LaMarr, of MadTV fame)
Blurr (Reprised by John Moshita)
Bulkhead (Bill Fagerbacky-- Patrick from Spongebob)

-He said (without giving away story...although it sounds like at ComicCon all will be revealed), that there would be G1 things surfacing, and that the comedy would be back.

-This series is scheduled to start in January 2008. He said they already wrapped up two seasons, 29 total episodes, I believe he said, and the special (if my notes are correct).

Also, he did note that recording star music spoofer Weird Al Yankovic will be a guest on an episode, as a garbage truck TF (he thought he remembered that as the form).

Corey's back as Shockwave! *joy*

Seibertron wrote:He was extremely likable and funny. He did an off the cuff improvised 'Golf Outing' between BW Megatron, and the new Animated Optimus Prime. It was hilarious!

"Autobots suck at golf, yes..." --BW Megatron
"Megatron, where's my 5-iron?" --Animated Prime
"I left it hidden back on the ship, dolt." --BW Megatron

He also laid down the 'Rubber Ducky' Song for us in BW Megatron's voice.

I would love to hear the Rubber Ducky song.
