Prototype Ramjet, Prototype Dirge, and Prototype Nacelle?

In keeping with yesterday's post, and owing to the Water Balloon Fight video having been taken to private, here's our club in some thematically appropriate but not-in-their-game attire:

Susan Oliver had quite the career in front of and behind the camera -- yet I suspect she will always be remembered for defining one of the first non-human species to be seen across multiple series (the Vulcans being the other introduced in "The Cage").* *of course, she wasn't actually...

I didn't know you worked for Paramount! Of course, you'd probably want to hide that, considering how many would be bothering you for leaks. 🙃 Not I, though.

Right, but because the larger story of S7 was In Other Media, Orci and Bay felt content that their presence in the film would have the fandom going "Ah, yes, it's those guys." while the general film audience saw John Tuturro only giving us Need-To-Know Backstory. Anyway, pretty sure TFWiki...

Nice to know I'm not the only one with fixed ideas! (I suspect it's part of the fannish condition to some degree.) Of course, given what happened with the making of the sequels, there's no reason that both descriptions ("most compentently made" and "two films mashed together") can't both be true...

"But we gave the Skywalker surname to Rey, so you have to like her! Right?" Legacy may have had us tripping over descendants of the Skywalker-Solo lines, but at least they gave us a spectrum of takes on said legacy. Nat Skywalker wasn't very good at the Force(tm), so he changed his name and...

Well, at the time, Bay was known for Armageddon (which ran about 20 minutes too long, but was much more hopeful than the more critically acclaimed Deep Impact)*, The Rock (which I've not heard anything bad about) and making a movie about Pearl Harbor that actually did well in the Japanese market...

I'd like to think that I know how they should do it.... though I don't know if current timeline/story policy would allow for such a relaunch.

Just a picture of the club enjoying the season. Perhaps the view will inspire them to write some new poems....

Any word if this is still in the pipeline? It did get a trailer, not that it gives away much....

Krok: "I suppose so. I mean, I was prominent in the comic...."

See, because you're dealing with multiple continuities that didn't quite agree with each other on all things, and a fandom that became notorious for getting into flame wars over what time it was (now there's a deep Usenet cut), and a period where the various media were becoming increasingly...

To be honest, "What You Come Back To" would be ill-served by a feature film treatment, especially considering all the plot threads it would be picking up.

On a lighter note, finding out that PSAs for the Transformers cartoon were scripted, fully animated, voiced, and somehow never aired was most unexpected. I was also amused that the "Running Away from home is not the answer!" PSA was delivered by the Autobot that ran away from home in both...

Yeah.... ...I don't know if there's enough compensation in all the worlds for that. (In the style of the old G.I Joe PSAs) "But now we know!" "And knowledge can be a dangerous thing!" "S-C-P!!!"

Well, that's how things shook out (and Skyquake, a later European exclusive, would likely have gone to Japan if their G1 line wasn't in its death throes after "Return of Convoy"). A TV series holding its own against second-wave action cartoons such as TMNT might have meant more investment by...

It wouldn't be necessary for Sunbow-G1, however Marvel UK readers had the additional question of "Just who became Galvatron?" to add to the whole Cyclonus question that TF:TAM's script was so apathetic about. Once the whole slightly retconned body-horror-and-mind-control backstory regarding why...

Who in the fandom...? Well, probably Raksha, as she never did like any of the changes to the Sunbow season 1-2 status quo that The Animated Movie and Five Faces of Darkness made, and was never afraid to say so. Replacing/Reformatting Megatron and undoing Decepticon dominion over Cybertron were...

"All the girls are The Best Gi-- WAIT, NOT LIKE THAT --"
