- It's funny, that I was just telling my friends it was about time
- Transformers were brought back out, since the new group of
- kids know Batman and TMNT, and not Transformers.
-
- I believe this is the Transformer's THIRD comeback. I have
- an old Japanese ad from 1976 or so, displaying Megatron,
- Soundwave (rules!), the original four cassettes, and a few others.
- Can't remember. Great things never die!
-
- The problem that I think EVERYBODY had with the animated series
- is that HOW THE HELL does Megatron and Soundwave shrink when
- they are in desguise mode?
-
- I was hoping the rerelease would come up with a new storyline
- would keep them MICRO-ROBOTS, as they used to be in the original
- 1970's release. The mini-cars were meant to be the PENNY RACERS
- that were sold in the U.S. in the mid-80's. The regular cars,
- I suppose, were meant to be just toy cars, not full sized ones,
- and the same with the decepticons. Oh well...
-
- They've got to give the new Soundwave, if they give him
- the electronic voice, the robot voice.
-
- Cool stuff.
-
- Kenji Takeuchi
-
- P.S.. How about Transformer's the movie! Great stuff! What else
- has director Nelson Shin made? Some of the movie was KIDDY,
- but much of it was QUALITY, in a sense.
