Does anyone ever really enjoy Cybertron re-runs? *l* I can't stand watching them talk. It's like watching a robotic ventriloquist dummy. I keep waiting for someone to pull their hand out of the back of Optimus Prime, or something.

At least now I don't have to wait for so long for the series to start. Yay!!!!

wait a second, "Boxing Day"?

I know this has been reported to have a US release on the 26th too, but I have to wonder, is this for Aulstralia?

Also, as to the recent mention of the toys coming out in June, well, there is still another wave of movie crap(Stockade and LandMine excluded), Classics 2.0, and not much else....

Me thinks I see a starve tactic in the works, while other lines either fill the gaps and fizzle out.

Nope, It will be quite a while before Pay TV gets it, and it will more than likely get a 6am Saturday run time on normal tv here. The Boxing Day reference was for reference for those who live in the Commonwealth.

Can you blame them? Look how much the weaker figures from the Armada and Energon final waves had to be reduced by to sell once the newer lines had emerged.
At least if there are no new toys out people seem more willing to pay full price for the "crappier older" toys. (looking at you Movie Swindle)

Why hasn't anyone made a Transformers Music Video with this song. YouTube, you've failed me.

I wonder if Cartoon Network over here will get it, or at least acknowledge it.

I can live with that.

I can't wait to see what the new Blurr looks like, as he's voiced by the same G1 Blurr. Not to mention Weird Al is suppose to play Wreck-Gar. I'm really looking forward to it.

I talked to some DVD store in Square one the other day and they said they have a DVD release of the new animated show for sometime in Jan-Feb.

I can't wait to hear a new version of "dare to be stupid"

Any interest in directly e-mailing YTV with the request to air "TF:A"? I've done that.

I've talked to some friends that work for YTV and they don't know anything of the show yet.
