The New King of the Road

I'm sure all of you have heard, but the tanker truck seen on set of Transformers: Dark of the Moon is now confirmed as Megatron due to pictures of his new toy being shown (I won't show images of the toys since they are stolen property and I don't want to get into legal issues for showing images of them on a blog etc)

Now whilst I'm happy to accept this...I just personally don't like it. Maybe it's just the appearance of the Voyager toy, but I don't get a very Megatrony vibe from him.

Don't get me wrong I'll still buy the toys etc, but I'll be calling him something else, like Motormaster or Clench or something. Give me some other ideas if you read this, or argue with me regarding my decision :D

The Coming Storm

:O

I am literally shocked by the end of this TFCC miniseries, tehre is so much death in the last 2 comics, here's a rundown of what happened:

The Elite Guard is introduced after Botcon 2009's comic, including all the Combaticons
The Combaticons are captured by the Decepticons and they defect to the evil side
They return to the Elite Guard HQ and slaughter the rest of the Elite Guard (in very HORRIFYING WAYS!!!)
The only definate survivors are Kup's team and possibly Dion (co-incidentally the only recent Club Toys in the storyline in the Elite Guard)

I think this shows that the Collector's Club feel about the Japanese Continuity though, since they've killed off a few members of the cast from Masterforce, Victory etc...though I guess that was inevitable since this story continues on from the Western continuity, which is incompatible with the Japanese stuff

My picture up top shows all the members of the Elite Guard, with names

Transformers Prime Episode 3

Okay bere's my rundown on things that were interesting in this episode:

RATBAT!!!!
Arcee seems to be higer ranked than Bumblebee and Bulkhead
Energon can hurt humans
Megatron is using Dark Energon but it doesn't turn him insane (that we can see so far)
The Eradicons are actually really strong
Bulkhead didn't want Miko to see him tearing out an Eradicon's spark/CPU/Whatever he has
Bumblebee has a games console in his vehicle mode, which he can control using his steering wheel
The reason Erath has large Energon deposits is because Energon was hidden there in the distant past
There's a large Transformer graveyard on Earth from when a battle took place there in the past over Energon, Megatron of course raises those corpses as zombies!!!!
