Hmm.... I liked the vending machine transformer and the steering wheel one , however was quite disappointed that the most impressive transformer was not in the movie.. Signal Flare.

Lucky for you there's no slap emoticon ...

Cybertron is the home planet of ALL Transformers .

If you meant when Megatron -> Galvatron ?
It was in the Transformers Movie which after being severely injured by Optimus Prime on a base raid , Megatron was dumped by Starscream as space floatsm until Unicron needed a new army .

And viola , came Galvatron to lead that army . Only to be given another beating again .

It was 20 years ago or close to it. Apparently the Berlin Wall fell during that time. I forget things from the 80s.

The current cinema release Transformers movie is much better than the old animated one. That one sent me to sleep the three times I tried watching it.

Its Michael Bay film so everyone is gonna know what's it gonna be like. Watch it for action, not for the story basically sums it up. Come to think of it reminds me of Black Lagoon treat it similar as that. Simple Story, lots of action.

a few months ago I mentioned the 1986 movie on Livejournal, and somebody commented "how can you have seen the Transformers movie already? It's not due out until July!"

then when I showed him the IMDB entry he commented about him being an dummkopf.

Which seems to be the justification for all the comic book movies out now ...

"New fans to look like idiots"

Frenzy was formerly a magnetic reel cassette tape . But he was second in appearance to a twin called Rumble .

Soundwave's cassette collection totalled 5 (i think) in all .

Rumble + Frenzy
Ravage
Laserbeak + Buzzsaw

Nope there were 10

Missing is
Ratbat
Battle Trap
Fly Wheels
Beastbox
Squaktalk
Squawkbox

Then you have the Japanese Transformers Victory with their breast force counterparts XD.

Still they are no where good as Signal Flare the autobot who transforms into a traffic light, up there with the Shinkansen team as one of the most useful transformers in their Alternative mode.

Well , Japan TV did produce a significant amount of individual Transformers series . Though its was in the usual seasonal series format and was more thematic in its titles .

Themes ranged from : ...
Headmaster series Transformer sets
Pretender series
Powermaster set

And alot more that i cant name ...
