After A Particularly Bad Week - Something Has Cheered Me Up...


Recommended Posts

Autobots - transform!

Latest trailer with ALL KINDS of energon fueled goodness including some neato airborn transforming trickey by Starscream.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/17/transfo...-trailer-debuts

And, of course - a revisit to Juz's favourite My Little Pony :)

I hope it's as good as it deserves to be.

My only fault so far is that Bumblebee is not a bug, but a GM car.

I know that they gotta save costs where they can, but c'mon.

too bad this means that there will be no Mirage (F1 car), Hound(Jeep), Wheeljack (Lancia, I think) or Sunstreaker (Lamborghini).

You know, I'm probably nerdy enough to try and get some autobot badges made to put on my R32.

I've stopped watching all the trailers as I'm waiting for the movie to come out and don't want to spoil it.

Bring on July 4th already! :)

There was a poster at Village Cinema, saying its coming out on 28/06/07.

We get the movie before America?

Ive seen some transformers stickers appearing on import cars already haha

Man, I'm so hanging for this!

I even went over to my Dads the other weekend to find my box of G1 Transformers & bring it home, all packed up tight some with their original packaging.

Yes.... Im a geek, I know.....

well i was keen to see this when they released the original teaser...

but then i saw this...

a MICHAEL BAY film

and then i shunned it... and now... seeing the cast... its gone back to the back of the movie list of movies i want to see.

And yeah... not making Bumble Bee a bug... is about as gay as as gay can be

oh yeh is that rodimus prime or optimus?? i liked optimus better.

rodimus was a hotrod not a truck.

your thinking of Ultramagnus the other truck im assuming... was a car transport type of truck who took over when Optimus died

A quick check on wiki showed that VW and Porsche did not want to be involved with transformers at all, as they didn't want to be involved in "War toys" Apparently VW were happy to make Engines for Hitler, but not for robots that save the world.

So it seems that the evil GM might have just been a means to an end.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't make starscream into a MiG-27 or something, instead of an F-22 (to replace the original F-15 that all the "seekers" were) because as American movies teach us, American planes are only used by the good guys!

Still. Wish there was an R-34 transformer.

It's funny though. Transformers, technologically advanced aliens. Pretending to be American muscle cars with all the engineering of a toaster.

Ni - Normally I'd point and scream out 'geek!' - but I know exactly what you are talking about so I'll just stay quiet.

:D everyone loved transformers as a kid... wish i kept all mine. Think the only one i have left is Grimlock

"Grimlock angry!"

"Grimlock destroy!"

lol how sad.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
