I remember the first was Transformer I ever owned was Sunstreaker. It wasn't that great in robot mode. The back plate kept falling down, and the torso plate (windows in car mode) wouldn't stay down. Also, I couldn't get it to stand up.

It looked great in car mode though.

Explain.

And Shia LaBeouf. :cool:

It looks so incredibly dumb. Give me a real action movie, heck Alien vs Predator will be 10x better than this.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

BTW, AVP was great too.

My first was Thundercracker. He was actually a surprise Christmas gift from my mom. Even at the age I kinda watch the news and knew how hard they were to get. Didn't even ask for one. Mom hide it till Christmas morning and actually surprised me with a gift for the first time in years. I keep thinkoing of buying the reissue.

Translation please?

It's the transforming sound.

i think it was more.....

I discovered in the Transformers FAQ that the fanfiction writers and newsgroup regulars have long debated exactly how the transforming sound is supposed to be spelled. At least half a dozen alternatives were listed, but none of them really "work" as onomatopoeias.
My own choice is something like: chick-chack-check-chock-chuck (or chuck-chock-check-chack-chick if they're going from vehicle to robot, of course). It sounds mostly like the cartoon/movie sound effect even if you just speak it aloud.
For the anal retentive fan, however, the Transformers FAQ has the technical details on how to recreate it:

The Transform sound begins as an 8 hz pulse repeated five times for 0.7 seconds each repeat whose pitch can be represented by the absolute value of a declining sine wave, with each zero-to-zero arc of the wave representing one of five cycles of the repetition. The actual value of the sine wave can be modified by factor N which is multiplied into the X value but divided into the Y value, which means that although the actual pitch is largely indefinite, in analog terms when the transform pitch is higher the length of each pulse is shorter, and conversely when the pitch is lower the length of each pulse is longer.

20 days to go apparently. I just found out it open Jul 3rd, noit 4th.

When The Transformers came onto the scene, I was out of college.

They were stupid then, they are stupid now. The idea of transforming robots was mildly interesting, but it was no Star Trek.

"You win. I'm gone...again."

Whens that current from?

Ohhh Ok - I have to admit I loved it!!

I was definitely NOT a transformer fan....never have been....but was enthralled with the movie.

Took the ferels to see it since the Monster Trucks were postponed due to 5 days of rain (woo hoo!!).
