For two glorious years, Optimus Prime was the hero of America. He played in Transformers, an animated series thrifty (cynics call a half-hour toy commercial) that has pitted Prime Minister and his army of Autobots against the vicious Megatron and his Decepticons. On the small screen, these are more Robots in Disguise cartoon, the Titans were massive, massive shells in their car: semi-trailer, police cars, fighter planes.
The form of toys, transformers combined tactile thing as a Rubik's cube with the voyeurism of Hot Wheels cars Vroom Vroom. Add a touch of moral clarity of the Cold War and we were engaged. children 5-11 years - and it was boys - faithfully tuned in week after week, watching the saga of these bots Doughty, who hit their home planet, Cybertron, with vague and mixed motives - achievement, freedom, resources, defense - and taken their civil war to our planet. We were welcomed as liberators and adopted the first that our mech-daddy. Some literally: In 2001, 30 years, the National Guard from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, has legally changed his name in Optimus Prime. "I'm very attached to him when I was a kid," he told reporters on TV first before shipment to the Middle East in 2003. "My father died and I did not really anyone around."
Then, in 1986, the premier has done something original that sets it apart from many other cartoon heroes. Then he died. He died for freedom, justice and shelf space. In the toy biz, there is no room for a paternal affection - that year, the next line. Transformers: The Movie, released in August this year, was the swan song of the former. For nearly two decades, through several lines of toys and restart toon questionable (Optimus Primal, a gorilla named? Please.) The son of the first aspect Pope Bot.
Finally, in July 2004, was decreed from the throne of Steven Spielberg: There would be a live-action remake of Transformers. (Wonder Joy! Blogging!) A year later, another revelation: Michael Bay, known for his explorations of modern masculinity Truffautian as Armageddon and The Rock, would direct. (Blog of rage! Spittle!)
Taking an Autobot
1974 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee Autobot transforming high was only part of a 14-month-long f / x process that took more than 60,000 virtual parts and 34,000 texture maps. The project pushed Industrial Light & Magic processors and 280 terabytes of disk storage to record up to 5500 capacity. - Erik Malinowski
A prayer went up on the Internet: Please, my God, do not let Michael Bay screw this. Discussion rooms shaken virtual nerd Thunderdome, aka Is not It Cool News, where processors (July 4) accumulated more traffic than any other film to come - not just in haunted Spidey was fueled by franchises '07. "It was as if he had told Michael Bay directs Star Wars," says Harry Knowles, editor of Is not It Cool News. "I do not understand why things are Bay soon, the machines look cool, blowing things up. E ' the best blaster in the company. '
So why all the pain on a beat-Bay Transformers? It's a toy. A cartoon. What's next? Please do not let Brett Ratner desecrate the Care Bears? And I'm not ass-kicking robot exactly what to expect from the high priest of infantilism high octane?
But among a certain sect of geekdom, there's more to lose. The first practically acquired children spend in the mid 80s. He was our Father of all models at a time in flesh and blood have been increasingly rare: Stallone began his long fall. Arnold was more credible that the machine man. So when the former said: "We must grow, must fall!" In this earthquake, the sound of dismantling this wall of sound (or, more precisely, the voice actor Peter Cullen), you have believed. Thus began the cyber-outsourcing masculine heroics, a process that eventually, inevitably, link Y chromosome to Xbox.
"I have heard many say:" Michael Bay has ruined my childhood, "says the man himself from the pulpit of his Santa Monica, California, the bay assembly. In the event, the bay is wearing a black shirt Decepticons. He is aware its image and to some extent, is delighted. "I knew there were fans," he sighs, shaking his shaggy blond mane power. "I do not know there were people who were hunting. I invite you to watch the 1986 animated film, go see the comedian. You'll want to shoot. "

However, in one of these epic Meetings Frenzy has been disabled by Autobot Omega Supreme. This roughly corresponds to the madness appeared in cartoon version.

Transformer Devastator - Unmatched Strength
Decepticon Transformer Devastator is built by combining the Coinstructicons. This perfect combination of rage form perhaps the strongest of all the Decepticons. His only goal is to destroy everything and everything between him and his enemy. In separate form, the six Constructicons are smart enough contrast to the brutality wide featuring Devastator. This is because six Decepticons minds seek to agree on what moves should withdraw Devastator Next, at the same time. This gives a simple and brutal Devastator personality instinct, destroying everything on the site even before consequences. One of its major weaknesses which is the recording and slow, making it an easy target for travel more.
Edition of the birth of the Marvel Comics Transformers Constructicons is pretty simple. Decepticon Shockwave skipper ordered the creation of six new Decepticon that when beings created by creating a matrix then extracted from the captured Optimus Prime. The Constructicons have given their lives, and time was wasted. They built a gigantic satellite dish that Soundwave used as Communications between Earth and Cybertron develop. The Autobots tried to stop the giant disk, but they were defeated by that the Constructicons combined into powerful Devastating to get the job done with ease.
The Autobots, where very impressed by the combination of Devastator capacity, so they tried to imitate the creation of such a Transformer that could be combined into a larger and more powerful be. However, they could not Omega Supreme made from a combination of three machines that are not sensitive. This led the Autobots Transformers Devastator to attract ' Decepticon base and isolation to gather more information composition. When this was made possible Autobots to create Superion last was due to a combination of Aerialbots the news.
Unlike traditional cartoons and comic books in 2007 Devastator Transformer movie looks like an individual character that transforms into a heavily armed tank. Although this Decepticon Brawl should be in the film can be clearly be appreciated called Devastator. More confusion arises in the goods sector, where it is marketed as Brawl. The movie writers say it was a mistake and Brawl was to be in the film. On the other hand hand, Michael Bay says he was very Devastator strong and appropriate name for the Decepticons incredibly difficult.
