a unicorn toy wasn't made until recently.

and its the constructicons. not constructo-bots.

didn't you pick up on the how its the the Auto-bots and Decepticons?

autobot groups had "bots" in them.

aerialbots, protectobots, technobots, trainbots

and the decepticons groups ended tiw "cons"

stunticons, predacons, seacons, combaticons, constructicons, terrorcons.

You got the touch. I laughed at that part too when I realized what they were singing.

Wow, someone sure knows his transformers. And thank you for the lesson, as I loved transformers, but never went to read all the 'literature' on them. I'm only as old as the movie:p.

What I find interesting is that Frank Welker (who voiced Megatron in the first movie) wasn't the voice of Megatron in the original Series. Yet I never heard the difference or noticed. Good Job Mr. Welker.

This movie was great. the sound track kicks ass too.

If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't Spike who said that....it was Spikes Dad.


oh, and.......



BAH WEEP GRANNA WEEP NINNY BONG!!!!!!!!

Wreckgar?


Spike's dad is Sparkplug. He isn't in the movie. Spike says that quote.

He wasn't the only one.. don't you think some of them (cough Brawl) could have put up a better fight?

EDIT: and how about when after the movie, they go to the autobot mausoleum and their damaged bodies are falling out of their tombs?

Yeah...it seemed like they were clearing inventory or something: "Let's see, we no longer sell Prowl, Ironhide, etc. Just shoot them in the first 10 minutes".

What are you talking about? Frank Welker WAS the voice for G1 Megatron.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Welker

Megatron, voiced by Frank Welker

In the 1980s, Welker voiced Megatron, Soundwave and his cassettes, the Dinobot Sludge, and Galvatron in place of Leonard Nimoy (Season 3) in the Transformers cartoon. In this he formed a team with Chris Latta, who voiced Starscream, Megatron's second-in-command. In 1988, Welker did the voice of Rulon leader Krulos in the TV-series Dino-riders. In this cartoon he again formed a team with Chris Latta, who (coincidentally?) voiced Rasp, Krulos' second-in-command. In G.I. Joe, Welker also teamed with Latta. (Other actors who featured in Transformers, Dino-riders and G.I. Joe are Jack Angel, Charlie Adler and Peter Cullen.) In a famous goof from Transformers, Soundwave's unmodulated voice was revealed to be nearly identical to that of Dr. Claw of Inspector Gadget

Wikipedia is a good source for information. but a lot of the time i take it with a grain of salt. You never know what wacko is writing the information. When it comes to movie/TV related information i go with IMDB.

imdb

He wasn't the only one to voice Megatron. I was wrong in saying he didn't voice at all in the series, but it was only 23 episodes where Earl Hammond voiced him for 65.

Wikipedia never even mentions Earl Hammond.

It was when the exploding Moon Base 2 didn't kill Unicron that he said it, not when they got swallowed. They got swallowed a few seconds later :p

No way man! Greedo shot first!
