Willing to nom on comments!

New manga by Naoto Tsushima! Yes, that's the title, don't ask. Yes, I've already pre-ordered the magazine that'll be carrying it. No, I might not translate it, but I can give summaries. Yes, I'm glad Tsushima is doing some more TF work (although him finishing up "Henkei!" and Yoshihiro Iwamoto being able to finish "Galaxy Force" would be nice).

Furthermore? There's a 15-sec TV spot with what sounds like the opening song in the background. Considering it's by JAM Project, I do have some hopes, but I'll wait till the TV-edit or full version is out. I'll admit, it is rather catchy. *is already replaying the clip*

And a 30-second version! Man, it's gonna be WEIRD hearing Norio Wakamoto as Megatron here. I'm so used to him as Flame Convoy from Galaxy Force... And maybe several other roles that I've forgotten over the years. :la: That young voice? Bumblebee :D

W0000000T!

Saw it at the Arclight Hollywood with Jim Sorenson, Marty Isenberg, and Bill Forster on the 23rd. Bonus on that was seeing Optimus, Ironhide, and Bumblebee in the car forms again - additional bonus was the Corvette Centennial Concept that is Sideswipe. :D Shiny and gorgeous piece of metal, though I'd be loathe to even drive him. Inside the lobby were two display cases: two mannequins displaying the combat uniform worn by NEST members with the patches "If I told you, I will have to kill you" (will have to check). XD Another pair of mannequins were that of Leo Spitz's "The Real Effing Deal" green jacket and Mikaela's black jacket over white shirt she wears at one point. Saw ROTF again at Universal Citywalk's IMAX theater (and multiple times in the future).

Was I expecting something like The Godfather or Seven Samurai? No. Was I expecting something like Batman: The Dark Knight or The Green Mile? No! Was I expecting to be entertained by explosions galore, giant alien robots beating other giant alien robots, humans interacting and adding in their own way, Optimus being a serious badaft while kicking major Decepticon butt, plot and inconsistencies be damned?

YES.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will certainly have its low points, but if you're a fan that wants a form of escapism, spend all that time in the theaters. Preferably IMAX. ;D

In short, reviews from critics like Ebert and others... Well, I'll leave it to the audience to really decide.

So many questions yet answered, and a sad farewell. But while some parts might feel anticlimatic, it was a decent closing that could allow some leeway in the future.
