Very nice collection.

Here's something sad - I just heard a radio commercial for the movie in the iMAX and he said
"As the autobots battle the Deceptions".

You know, I've seen a few 'official' threads around this place. They amuse me. What makes them official?

I'm not complaining - just amused and curious.

lol i just put it there just because

you could say it is there so that all transformer discussion is to stay in one thread to keep the boards from becoming a jumbled mess lol

Er, what's wrong with that?

Please bear in mind that I've never seen the cartoons for this product range, nor have I read the comic books, so I don't know if they went against existing canon in that regard, but in the first film Optimus Prime introduces himself as the leader of the autobots (short for autonomous robots) who are fighting the decepticons.

Did I miss something?

yep, except for animated and beast wars, optimus prime is the supreme commander of the autobots. (ultra magnus is leader in animated and optimus primal is a commander in beastwars).

while the autonomous robots thing is just made for the movie, first that was ever suggested

and since i can probably guess this question is going to be asked: i got 11 optimus primes and 9 megatrons (i think)

Ah, one of those me-not-reading-far-enough things.

Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of fans from the original cartoon who cringed whenever they heard it.
