transformers (two-disc special edition + bd live) [blu-ray]

Oh, Transformers, you guilty pleasure, you. I still remember when Transformers came out in theater, and my girlfriend and I bought tickets to the midnight showing a week before it played, then downed a couple bottles of soda in order to stay awake through the lengthy film. The way the seats shook, the screen lit up, the crowd cheered...it was definitely a great experience in the theaters.

Unfortunately, the DVD release didn't capture the same spirit as the original theatrical one, and Transformers became just another okay-but-not-great flick to watch with friends when nothing better was going on. How could a DVD hope to live up to the big-screen projection and booming speakers of a movie theater? It couldn't. Thankfully, with this new release of Transformers on Blu-Ray, there's now a home version of Michael Bay's robo blockbuster which can.

The Blu-Ray release of Transformers is a godsend for the movie, because the emphasis of it is certainly on the visual and audio aspects-not so much the story. The story revolves around Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeoulf), a young confused-but-spunky teen trying to get the hot girl to like him. His plot to popularity begins when he makes a deal with his dad to purchase a car, which he gets from a shady used dealer (played by the late Bernie Mac). The car is seemingly absolute trash, but after a few crazy nights it becomes apparent that there's more to it than meets the eye. (I know, I'm sorry.)

It turns out Sam's car is actually an organic robot named Bumblebee, which is part of a group known as the Autobots which came to earth to prevent the Decepticons from finding the Energon Cube which will allow them to animate earth's machinery and take over the planet. Multiple other robots make appearances in a virtual who's-who of auto product placement, and the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons (with Sam and the rest of humanity in the middle) grows and grows like a snowball of cliché until the final, climatic battle.

In other words, it's the perfect Michael Bay vehicle: action, hot girls, CGI, explosions, and giant cliché robots.

Obviously, Transformers didn't (and never will) win any awards for writing. The dialog is cheesy, the plot resembles Swiss cheese, and pretty much every character fills some sort of cliché requirement for a blockbuster action hit. But that doesn't really matter, because the movie is a non-stop adrenaline ride (if you can weather the first half hour) and will keep you on the edge of your seat, no matter how many times you see it.

Coming to Blu-Ray, the two-disc special edition doesn't feature anything new from the previous HD-DVD release. So for those with both capabilities, there's no reason to re-purchase Transformers in high-def. For those of us who only got the movie in DVD form, however, this Blu-Ray release is a must-buy for action, video, or audio junkies.


VIDEO AND AUDIO

Now, saying Transformers is a fast-paced film would be akin to saying Pauly Shore's career is a complete mystery-everyone knows that. The DVD release struggled at times depicting all of the detail Bay wanted seen, and handling his twitchy jump cuts resulting in a lot of blur, grain, and color distortion. With this HD release, Paramount eliminates any and all possible video issues. Presented in a 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 (2.40:1) encode, no matter which scene of the movie you select, Transformers is a near-perfect Blu-Ray demo reel. There's never a loss of clarity, grain, or weak blacks.

The only issues visible are very, very rare instances of colors being too sharp in the earlier portions of the film before the CGI kicks in, resulting in some odd tones for a split-second. It surpasses Jumper as the best-looking release, which is not an easy task.

Added on to the home theater-showcasing video aspects is an incredibly well-done audio track. On the HD-DVD release, we were given Dolby Digital-Plus Surround, but on this newer Blu-Ray release they've upped the ante by providing a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround track (48kHz/24-bit). The subwoofer keeps busy the entire movie, and the dialog is pitched perfectly in regards to the louder effects. Unlike many action films where you have to play "Let's Adjust the Audio!" throughout the feature, Transformers hits the mark perfectly in terms of keeping voices and effects on a nice equilibrium.


EXTRAS

Much like the HD-DVD release, Transformers on Blu-Ray serves up a plethora of special features in the two disc set. With the movie comes a Michael Bay commentary, which may be the only time I've ever enjoyed hearing the man talk. (Other than his FiOS commercial.) He pokes fun at his own product, and offers a lot of nice little stories about the making of the movie.

The second disc is where most of the goodies are. Two documentaries ("Our World," and "Their War") are the biggest dogs on the disc, and offer a great look into the world of the movie, and how it came to be. Our World is my favorite of the two, as it offers a good look into the history of Transformers and how the movie came to be, while Their War seems to focus more on the technology aspect of the CGI and the robot creation. Both are entertaining in their own rights, though. The other video feature on the disc is a behind-the-scenes look at the dessert fight with Skorponok, from storyboard to post. It's entertaining to see how the first big battle vs humans was made, but it's not nearly as inviting as the longer, 2+ hours of documentary video.

If that doesn't seem like enough, the movie has some new, Blu-Ray exclusive extras as well. Rather than traditional PIP tracks, the track on Transformers (calleed the H.U.D.) is a catch-all of facts, trivia, and other random tidbits. The plethora of information ensures that you never see the same thing twice (until you run through everything once), but it's very haphazard. With no on-spot visits or actual consecutive commentary, it's like watching Pop Up Video: Transformers. Entertaining, but tiresome.

The other during-viewing feature is much more inviting. Coined the BD-Live "Intelligence Center," it allows you to watch the movie with several possible widgets running. These widgets perform tasks from keeping track of robot names and stats (like watching a live-action videogame), to a GPS tracker showing where action is happening. My favorite is another random-factoid type thing, which constantly points out little facts you may not necessarily care about, but will be entertained by nonetheless. In addition, there are also BD-Live features giving you a full 360 degree view of all robot models in the movie, as well as "MyClips," which allows viewers to share their favorite Transformers moments with their friends.


CONCLUSION

To say that the Transformers Blu-Ray release is massive would be a gigantic understatement. It is, without question, the most ambitious Blu-Ray release yet. While the movie is run-of-the-mill action shtick we're all used to, the effects are so vivid and lifelike in this latest HD release that most people really won't care. When you have the best video available in the world for a home theater, some of the best audio, and one of the biggest and most unique selection of special features... What's not to like? If you own a Blu-Ray player and an HDTV, this is the biggest no-brainer must-buy the format has seen thus far.

I expected this movie to suck. I was never a fan of the toys or television series. however, I was extremely surprised by the movie. Not only did I like the movie, but it made me a fan of everything Transformers. The movie was not too corny nor was it too serious. There was a perfect blend of fun, story, and action, and that is what impressed me about this film. It made giant robots quite cool. There is a lot of replay value to this film, even if it is almost 2 1/2 hours long. I love long movies, especially if they are done right. My only complaint about the film is that I really wish that there was more character development between robots. All in all this was an excellent movie that can be appreciated by all ages.
Believe it or not, my favorite part about this movie was the soundtrack. The music is intense and powerful. I believe that the same person that does the score for the movie is the one that does the Gears of War 2 soundtrack (a Xbox 360 game). So if you liked that music you should get the soundtrack to this movie.


I watched transformers when i was young & even though the movie was good, based on the story of Transformers...it could've been better. The focus on the humans was ill a bit & the visual could've been better it seemed an ad for GM


I'm probably going to get knocked for this, but as of right now, Transformers 2 really kind of makes this one not worth owning anymore. Sure, Transformers is impressive, even more impressive that it was made by Michael Bay, one who's movies are kind of painful to watch despite all the "kewl action!" But the whole point of watching possibly the only interseting Michael Bay movie is the robots, and the sequel has more robots and less character development, if you call the characters in a MIchael Bay movie well developed (hint: Yeah right). Simply put, the sequel has less time wasted on the characters, which makes it all the better and less of a waste of time.

C


This is a movie that gets you hooked with the non stop action scenes that brings this movie to life. For all the fans that watched Transformers in cartoon, this is a must watch!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen [blu-ray]

I wonder what is up with everyone. After the first film, people said that there were not enough transformers in it, there wasn't enough plot, and there wasn't enough action. Now that they finally got what they wanted, they say it's bad? Seriously, they need to get their thoughts straight. Plus, they're saying it was targeted to kids and stuff. However, this movie is based on a show for kids just in case you didn't know. Just get real already.

Now that that's taken care of, let's go onto the review.

I watched this movie on iMax and it was a blast. The special effects, the action, and the plot. They seriously did it the right way. You get to see way more transformers than in the previous movie and bigger ones as well (just like in the anime). There's is also more comedy than before with a bigger plot. Those who watched the anime series would know the connection that exist between humans and the transformers just as shown in the first movie, but it is more solid in the second one. Also, the movie is almost as long as the first one but with more action. They are constantly at war and they tell the story as the continuous war progresses. You've got more involvement of the characters from the first one as well as newcomers from all sides. The special effects are superb. It's like watching Transformers remake with a deeper story.

In conclusion, this movie is accessible to fans of the series as well as people who didn't even watch the first one since they kind of re-tell the events of the first film. We've seen movies like Dragon Ball and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li fail since they try to re-create the story that has already been implanted in the world. Transformers was a little off the edge in the first movie, but in this second film, they really got on track. Well worth your money once it comes out on DVD since I don't think it's playing on theaters anymore.


The first movie was awesome. It had great music, entertaining story, great comedy, good drama, and exciting action. While the sequel has better action and nice music, the story takes a turn for the worst, and the comedy is too forced and corny. While it wasn't a complete failure (I've seen it twice) it was still a disappointment.
Seriously though, this movie tried too hard to impress fans with mindless action sequences and forgot about telling a good story, let alone one that makes sense. I would love to get into detail on why the story doesn't makes sense, but I do not want to spoil things in this review. Both the robots and the humans try to be funnier this time around, but it really backfires on them (yes Autobot twins, I'm talking to you). This movie was also TOO LONG! I never complain about length with movies. I often wish most movies were longer. But in this case, I felt as if I was in the theater for 3 1/2 hours.
Even though this movie was a disappointment to me, I would still recommend this film to people. I mean, if you like hot girls, in your face action, and immature comedy, this movie is for you.


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the best movie of the year!! It leaves Terminator & Wolverine in the dust! If you liked the first one, you are going love this one. Michael Bay has done it again! There is way more explosions and more robot fights. It is a movie that makes you laugh, cry, cringe, and just say WOW! I like the twin autobots. They are really funny! I also love the Camaro. They have beefed it up by adding a bit more black to it.
If you love special effects and a lot of action, this is the movie for you. And don't listen to the critics. They always find something negative about a movie. Just sit back and enjoy the movie. :)



There are times when movies can blow you away. The first Transformers movie certainly blew me away. Despite its problems, it was a fun ride with a well crafted story and even some well crafted dialog and sequence of events. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, however, shows us that bigger isn't always better. In fact, bigger can be a headache. Especially when it's a Michael Bay sequel.

The film brings back Shia Lebouf and Megan Fox as our protagonists. As it turns out, the Transformers actually came to earth a lot sooner than we thought. In the year 17,000 BC to be exact. A war happened involving some of the machines. As it turns out, the Fallen were sealed... but they may soon rise again. And Sam (played by Shia) has the key to this, which the Decepticons want to get a hold of. And quickly.

Anyway, Sam is off to college and as far as he is concerned, Bumblebee's job is done. His parents are rather emotional over seeing him go (particularly his mother), but things could be worse, right? Well, as it turns out, when he gets to college he meets a strange guy who has been tracking these "aliens" for some time, ever since the incident happened two years ago. Apparently the Government is so good at covering things up they were able to make sure no one could remember all the chaos that happened right in the middle of the streets of the first film... in broad daylight. Even stranger is that Sam still has a piece of the cube (All Spark) and despite holding onto it for two years, only now manages to touch it. When he does, however, he begins to see a bunch of symbols in his head that he doesn't know anything about.

These symbols, however, play much bigger role than he could imagine. The Fallen, it turns out, will rise again sometime. And only one Autobot can stop them... Optimus Prime. Unfortunately through circumstances it's a wonder if he can. Even worse is how more decepticons are coming forth and finding most f the good guys. Not to mention there's another man in the government hoping to mess things up because they believe that it's the fault of the Autobots that the Decepticons are coming in the first place. And Michael Bay makes sure you really don't like this guy.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons are after Sam because he knows something that's been implanted into his brain. The end result is that the Autobots along with Sam and Mikeala--and a few supporting characters--have to stop the Fallen from rising again.

On paper it sounds rather simple, but the movie is a lot more convoluted than it actually sounds. It not so much that the plot makes little sense as it is that it keeps throwing one thing after another into the mix. By the time the movie concludes you might find yourself having a little too much information. But more than that, there's a lot of time spent away from the plot. The first movie, for the most part, had very appropriate jokes that came at just the right moments. Revenge of the Fallen throws several jokes at a wall hoping something will stick. You'll get a good share of laughs, but also a lot of jokes that fall flat in the process.

However, it's mostly Michael Bay's filming technique that makes the movie something of a drag. In many instances the camera angles are incredibly weird and shaky. When the robots are fighting it's really hard to get into the fight scenes because they're so chaotic and because the camera is constantly jerking around. More often than not, you lose focus in the middle of the battle. There are also tons of new robots introduced. Good and bad. Unfortunately the movie doesn't give us enough time to get to know any of them. So much so that in some fights it was hard to tell the good guys from the bad. Which brings up another thing, the fights themselves can be spectacular, but on the whole they're a little long. Many moments in the movie are too overdone for their own good.

The story in and of itself comes together but the way it comes together might leave some movie goers feeling cheated in some ways. If anyone here has ever heard of the term "Deus Ex Machina" (which means "God from the Machine") then you should know that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is full of them. In nearly impossible situations, amusing coincidences come into play. Sam and friends need to get to Egypt upon JUST discovering they need to go there... they magically get there. They find an old Transformer who is a Decepticon who just happens to have switched sides. One of the most heart pounding moments of the entire movie is ruined by a Deus Ex Machina that looks as though Michael Bay and company decided to just tack it on. There's plot and story but a lot of it comes off as an after thought. Most of i just felt like things they tacked on to make sure that things come out just fine for our protagonists involved. Every heart pounding moment is immediately crushed when you realize that no matter what happens, none of the characters are in any real danger because of many "amusing coincidences." It makes the movie come as more predictable.

That's not to say it isn't fun. When you're not being given a headache by the camera work, the special effects are spectacular, and some of the fights are really good. It's just that its hard to enjoy them because of the awkward camera movements and shifts. Even Paul Greengras knew when we needed a break.

That's not all, the movie is incredibly long. Around two and half hours. But it doesn't quite pass the butt-shifting contest. A lot of scenes are long and drawn out. The final battle in and of itself can make you feel like you're sitting through the incredibly long ending of Lord of the Rings. It's not that it's long which can grate on the nerves so much as it is that Bay and his crew stuffed way too much in a movie. Suffice to say, how long was this movie supposed to be before it was cut down? There are so many characters and plot devices introduced that it's a wonder it could all e contained in one film.

The acting, for the most part, isn't really all that bad, but there's far too much acting to care. This is all about Shia. Megan Fox is there, but she serves no real purpose other than to give the boys something to stare at between action sequences.

One thing that might raise a few eyebrows however, may be "The Twins." Where would Michael Bay be without ethnic stereotypes? Here, the Twins are so stereotypical you wonder if Bay was trying to be offensive or funny. I'm guessing it was the latter option of the two, but the crew on Transformers 2 did go a little overboard with it.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is a visual spectacle but not much else beyond that. To put it all in context, it's not hard to understand, but it's definitely cluttered. And the director does nothing to make sure we care about the characters. We don't learn much more about them than what the first movie gave us. There's hardly any development. It's pleasing to the eye, but little beyond that.


Unless your a teenage boy or mildly retarded, I can't imagine how you could like this movie. It's comparable to watching your friend play a video game for two and a half hours. Awful...just awful.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Xbox 360 Games

Product Description

Become the ultimate Autobot or Decepticon in transformers: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, the official game of one of 2009’s biggest blockbuster films. Unleash your power to determine the fate of Earth as the ultimate war rages across the globe. Every second counts as you experience transformers like never before!

Being able to play as a giant transforming robot, whether good or evil, is one of the many childhood fantasies many kids, and nerds, have had. Now you can play as the Autobots and Decepticons in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." The game is loosely based off of the movie but it takes you through a number of missions that aren't in the movie itself. Whether you're an Autobot or a Decepticon, you end up fighting some familiar Transformers on the other team. Some of the missions include: destroying the other team's army and protecting and/or leading the way for allies. It's straightforward, but it's so much fun if you're into Transformers or playing as over-sized characters.

The replay value in this game is a bit better than the first Transformers game. Sure you can still play as both Autobots and Decepticons, but the plethora of missions, unlockables, and achievements make this game one that you can keep coming back to. Not to mention there's a really fun online mode that was absent in the first game.

The controls are redone this time around and are better to handle. There is a slight learning curve if you were used to the controls on the first Transformers game, but it won't take you long; even if you're a novice to these games.

"Revenge of the Fallen" is probably the most fun I've had with a movie tie-in video game. Most video games, based directly off the films, are pretty bare bones and have little, to no, replay value. Not to mention some of them just aren't fun and the controls can be pretty shoddy (Jaws Unleashed anyone?). There are a lot of neat unlockables to be had here, including some G1 episodes. The collection of Autobot and Decepticon icons in each playable area can help you unlock gobs of achievements if you're into increasing your gamerscore.

In conclusion, it's a really fun game that will give you hours of game time. If you're into Transformers, or any sort of giant playable characters roaming around a cityscape, this game is for you. I recommend checking it out.


I won't waste too much time repeating what others have said, so I'll keep it short. The game is certainly solid and fun. Being able to transform anytime and actually incorporate it into your attacks is a beautiful touch. The only bad thing is that when transformed into vehicle form, you MUST move, and don't have the ability to just sit there at a stop.

The game is pretty repetitive, the missions are basically the same--drive to this spot and fight a bunch of opposing transformers, mission over. But its fun for a few hours and is certainly worth the rental price.


first of all im not really a transformers fan but i own the game it is amazing! the graphics are well colored and enchanced, second there are a great variety of transformers, my favorite is sideways, because he is a audi r8. there are even more transformers when you play xbox live. controls are easy enough, for example LT to aim and A to shoot


The last Transformers movie tie-in game was a pretty run of the mill experience that you would come to expect from a game of the type. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a little bit better in those regards, albeit not by much. Much like the last time around, you can choose to be either on the Autobots or Decepticons side, and familiar faces like Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Starscream are abound as well. In terms of action, the game provides a hearty amount of it, with the only problem being there's really no variety to the missions, and everything as a whole just gets way too repetitive. The control schemes are awkward between the robot and vehicle modes, while the robots themselves are wonderfully rendered, compared to the bland environments they find themselves in. There's some fun to be had in the game's various multiplayer modes as well, but just like the last game before it, there really isn't all that much here to sustain your interest. All in all, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is worth checking out for Transformers fans, and that's really all that need apply.


Imagine what it would be like to become a Transformer. Walking, jumping, and climbing in your humanoid form would be pretty familiar, and you could easily get the hang of whipping out your guns to blast enemies. Driving yourself around might be a bit awkward at first, and flying would be significantly trickier, but the real problems would come when you tried to transform. Shifting your physical form would be really disorienting, and it would take a while before you really mastered it. That's actually a pretty accurate breakdown of what it's like to play Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In the early going, the controls are uncomfortable but functional. As you play through either of the solid campaigns, you'll get better and better until you reach a point where you can fluidly move between different forms and dispatch your enemies with style. Then the game becomes a fun, engaging romp through the Transformerverse, and taking your skills online gives you a new tactical challenge. Though it takes awhile to get there, and it never outgrows some of its problems, Revenge of the Fallen is an entertaining way to step into the chassis of a giant transforming robot from space. The two campaigns--Autobot and Decepticon--loosely follow the plot of the movie. Each one takes a solid amount of time to complete, and they are different enough that it is worth playing through both. The Transformer models are shiny and detailed, capturing the look of the movie nicely. The voice acting is less impressive. While some Transformers, such as Megatron and Optimus Prime, sound great, others are almost unintelligible, thanks to poor volume matching or overzealous robotic effects. And the human characters (specifically Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox) are so badly voiced that you'll be thankful only some of the missions actually parallel the movie. Other missions diversify the action with familiar mission archetypes: escort/kidnap, defend/destroy, checkpoint race, miniboss fight, and the like. Each mission plays out in an open area full of items you can destroy (cars, tankers, and light structures); though your wrecking power is so substantial you'll probably wish for a bit more environmental destructibility.

Between the mission types and the maps, there isn't a whole lot of variety. It's not quite tedious, but things can start to feel a bit too familiar as you progress. Fortunately, a healthy array of bonus challenges and unlockables do a good job of keeping things interesting. Accomplishing the two bonus objectives in each mission nets you a solid haul of attribute-boosting energon, and shooting the five targets in each area will earn you even more energon, as well as stall the clock so you can strive for a higher medal by finishing quickly. Overarching objectives challenge you to accomplish certain tasks with certain characters, and doing so unlocks episodes of the original Transformers cartoon, as well as vintage paint jobs and concept art. These goals help flesh out the experience and keep you engaged because they give you something else to do during missions besides focus on the primary objectives. Accomplishing all the bonus objectives and earning a gold or a platinum medal is a tough challenge, and you won't even come close until you've mastered the controls.

There are three different forms ("modes") that each Transformer can take: robot, weapon, and vehicle. In robot mode, you walk around in humanoid form and can jump, climb buildings, and melee attack. Holding the left trigger changes you into weapon mode, allowing you to strafe and blast opponents with your primary and secondary weapons. These two modes are easy to master and switch between, but vehicle mode is a bit trickier. Holding the right trigger will transform you into a vehicle, and you'll immediately start driving or flying, depending on your character. It's cool to watch, but figuring out how your momentum will (or won't) be preserved through the transformation is a bit tricky. Until you get the hang of it, you'll often find yourself on an unexpected vector, speeding off in the opposite direction or just plowing into a building. Freeing yourself from environmental hang-ups is a hassle, especially when you're trying to escape the battle fray in order to lay low and regenerate health. Driving around the maps, you may find yourself getting stuck on low barriers or other objects that you were previously able to drive over or through. Flying can be even more finicky, especially if you get into a tight spot where you can't transform. Jet and helicopter controls may also present a problem for some because there aren't many customization options when it comes to the steering and altitude-adjustment controls. Expect to suffer some frustration and awkwardness throughout a good chunk of your first campaign. You'll be able to accomplish your objectives; you just won't look pretty doing it.

But once you've mastered the controls, you can really start to flex your metal muscles. You'll be better at avoiding awkward transformations and getting back on track should you get hung up. You'll get the hang of flying and driving skillfully, and you'll be tearing around each area with confidence. Some of the coolest things you can do in the game are so-called "advanced" maneuvers that you execute in vehicle form. The advanced jump launches your Transformer out of car form and into a high jump (fliers are stuck with the strategically powerful yet unexciting hover ability). These jumps are great for leaping over low buildings and obstacles, but when you string a few together, you can drive/hop from rooftop to rooftop, traversing crowded areas in a speedy and exhilarating fashion. And let's say your enemies have appeared down the street and are heading your way. You transform into a vehicle and race to engage them, firing your vehicle weapon to soften them up. When you get close, you fluidly shift out of vehicle mode, throw your momentum into a deadly melee attack and watch a slow-motion close-up of your Transformer obliterating your enemy. It's pretty awesome.

Not only is the advanced melee attack really satisfying, but it and other stylish kills (like offing an enemy while jumping, scoring a headshot, and the like) will also fill up your overdrive meter. Overdrive makes you tougher, increases your weapon damage, and keeps you from overheating, allowing you to tear through groups of foot soldiers with ease or whittle down a boss' health quickly. Earning and using overdrive is a great way to exercise your formidable moveset, and it's essential to getting through levels quickly and earning a top medal. While it is very satisfying to earn a platinum medal, the real enjoyment comes from wielding your diverse abilities in a skillful way. You feel powerful and excited to be a Transformer, and that is Revenge of the Fallen's greatest success.
Online multiplayer offers a distinct new challenge that is best tackled once you've mastered the controls. The modes and maps are pretty standard fare, and they serve as a competent stage for battle. Each Transformer has a unique loadout that includes a primary weapon, secondary weapon, and special attack. In the single-player campaigns, these different abilities provide some welcome variety. In multiplayer, they add a whole new level of strategic depth. Having Long Haul's combat healing ability can help a Decepticon team stay alive long enough to capture a control point, while a well-timed electromagnetic pulse attack from Bumblebee can give the Autobots a deadly window of opportunity. Teams have to strategize in order to make the best use of the complementary special attacks, though team-only chat doesn't kick in until the match begins, so be careful about how much you say in the game lobby. Coordinating your team roster and experimenting with different lineups yield a surprising amount of possibilities. The interplay of abilities and weapons also makes the otherwise run-of-the-mill game types much more complex and engaging.

Though it isn't immediately accessible, Revenge of the Fallen has a good amount of fun and satisfying gameplay. The initial awkwardness of the controls is a bit vexing, and some issues linger no matter how good you get. The single-player missions and multiplayer game modes aren't very diverse, but the various bonus challenges and strategic nuances add some welcome depth. What Revenge of the Fallen does best is make it fun to be a Transformer by giving you a powerful set of abilities and open maps where you can put them to use. It's enjoyable and engaging, and it's probably the best Transformers product you'll see this summer.

Transformers Bumble Bee Keychain

Product Description

The Autobots and Decepticons are about to unleash their war on earth and the fate of humankind hangs in the balance. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are movable and poseable, with 8 points of articulation - head, arms, legs and waist! Includes 1 Bumblebee Keychain. Ages 5+

My nephew loved this item and could not wait to clip it to his napsack. He even clips it to his belt loop on occasion.


I love this key chain! It is truly all I wished it would be! I've been wearing it on a chain around my neck as a necklace ever since I got it a few months ago, and it has held up VERY well. It still looks good as new, really. Great fun for any die hard Transformer fan.

Beware, though - he is a little bit more on the orange-ish side, as many people have pointed out to me. But it is still a great key chain. Lots of fun to play around with when you are bored in class ^^


this is a cool keychain. alittle big to fit in my pants pocket. i have it displayed along side optimus prime. it is cheaper in the stores. i would recomend buying it at any local chain dept. store such as wal-mart or target. still all in all im happy with this toy.

Transformers Drapes - 82x63"

I recently updated my 4 yr old son's room with a Twin over full pine bunkbed set. We ordered Transformer drapes to match the bedding and they were a perfect match. They were exactly as pictured, tie backs are nice. The only thing on the tie backs are they have a little plastic ring instead of a sewn hole in them which is more of an FYI then anything else. Overall they are very nice and were a great price and quality is excellent.


These curtains were hard to find in our local stores but, they matched the bedding perfectly. I was very please and they had a nice length. I would recommend these curtains. My son loves his new Transformer bedroom.
