Why would you mention it if you weren't going to tell us?

Seriously, I used to think you were a respectable member here, but lately you've just been acting really shadey.

I've said this before, but I think it's relevant to say it again now. I'm seeing the Transformers used as a parallel from the eyes of an unitiated fan. For whatever it may be worth to either of you, I was a thoroughly initiated fan who spent time before the release hoping for the best but basically bitching about changes not that dissimilar to what we have here. And it was directed by Michael Bay (if it wasn't called Bad Boys, I really didn't care as far as his works go).

And I currently own the Transformers and am eagerly awaiting the sequal. Take that for what you will, but that's my primary reason for reserving judgement. I walked the premature negativity pass and had to eat my own words with a side of fries. Doing so again now would be personal hypocrisy. Take that for what you will.
To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death.

Well guys...looks like JAPPO has gone maverick on us. :lol:

I was excited so I posted some info. Then, I realized maybe I wasn't allowed to.

I'm sorry for being excited and giving you hints. It'll be here soon anyway.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

You mean this?
Nothing Earth-shattering, but the new Fox 2009 prospectus "reveals":

The film is in final stages, 90 minutes long, likely PG-13, first in an on-going series. Major video game adaptation out next year, leading comic book company publishing new manga series based on movie. New animated television series in development.

We'll get our proof next week at this big licensing show in London. We should see some footage too, if we're lucky!
Post from your forum... A new manga series? New animated tv-series?

I find this kind of hard to believe... or better yet, I don't wanna believe it :p

Marvel/DC comics doing a Dragon Ball story? I'd read that shit! :D

Which is weird for someone to all of a sudden start acting like that. Maybe because he's telling the truth? :shock:

That's what I said earlier, minus the truth part, he's starting to act super shadey kinda like a Team Rocket Grunt.

For the record I wasn't the one who posted that. Some people I'm sure are confusing what you put as a post by ME, and not someone else.

Yeah, me too. I mean, it's being made a bit more realistic, but like you mentioned based on Goku's movie gi, it's still shaping up to be very fantasy-oriented and fun.
Dragon Ball ended in 1997.

haha Seriously, a live-action movie is one thing, but an animated series based on a movie that was based on an animated series? That's just a headache waiting to happen. (Just saying it hurts. :P )

I'd say so.

My main beef is that the original will be lost.

Ah well, at least it'll be good eye candy.

The licensing rights for that would be a nightmare.
