In the OG series he suffered much worse falls, hits, and attacks, yet one punch from prime can seemingly break him beyond repair? ik ik movie for 8 year olds, speeding up plot, ect. but seriously, he should have just walked off when he landed like always. also, what is flying out of him? bones? metal? idk.

the opening to 2007 movie remains so atmospheric and eerie, mainly because the audience knows this is a transformer, but the characters do not. no faction symbols are shown on his chassis, and as clues begin to pour in you are left to wonder. while blackout has an iconic silhouette due to his appearance in 07, he was a very obscured character prior to the movie that never had a helicopter alt-mode.

i was very young when this movie premiered so it actually surprised me when he revealed himself and destroyed the soccent base. that said, i wonder who i could’ve thought this was with the knowledge i have now. any older or more versed fans at the time want to share their first thoughts?

i’ll go first: in a vacuum, if i watched this for the first time now, i might have thought this was sandstorm, as they use the same model of helicopter. he follows the directions peacefully up until he begins obliterating the base, which is actually odd behavior for any decepticon. once he got to wrecking the base, then i would’ve guessed vortex.

Idk but the hidden Decepticon behind the wheel and the code of numbers and letters that means „All Hail Megatron“ is just a cool and fun easter egg/detail (how ever you want to call it)

55$.....at Walmart

Is Hasbro literally making us not want to buy these guys for Msrp? On a little outing to fix a tire and normally I would pick one of these up. But now?! Really 55?! If I'm not buying these guys as an adult, what actual kid or parent is buying these? I don't know what they are thinking, but unfortunately I guess I'll see these guys at ROSS 🤦‍♂️

OTHER THAN JUST THE WAR FOR CYBERTRON.

Transformers sequels have a track record of following up a classic with mindless action (ROTF, Rise of the Beasts, RID 2015, etc.), and my fear is that the inevitable sequel to ONE might do the same. So other than explosions, fight scenes, and Iacon bickering about who is right; Optimus or Megatron, what SPECIFIC STORYLINE would you want to see in the film? Honestly, just fight scenes and conflict wouldn't make a good follow up to the emotional masterpiece ONE was.

I kinda want him to become the main artist on the series

Thank you!! Very happy to have it no matter what

Imagine that you were teleported to the universe of Transformers. If you were offered to be turned into a Beast Bot Cybertronian permanently [Beast bot is the only option] via augmentation, would you accept?

If yes, then what animal would you choose to be? And about your name?

And more important, would you accept being pet [become a Cassete] of someone?

This dude was a mass-retail release, how the FUCK is he so expensive?

Yep, I know now he is brainwashed, but as a kid, I thought about Leader-1 as a silent minicon who just liked being with Megatron. The kind of: "I don't need to be saved. I already like being in charge as the leader of minicons".

I made this super quick digibash to see what an Origins Cliffjumper might look like. Any thoughts?

Custom paint job! I wanted to take pics of him before he inevitably gets chipped or fades.

Maybe that can do him in one of the generations lines where they could maybe spruce him up a little bit, make him look ancient like the 13 primes? Like a biblically accurate Rodimus Prime lol
