Overall, I really liked the acting in Transformers 3. It’s about as believable as giant robots turning into trucks is going to be outside of Saturday morning cartoons. Shia LaBeouf plays the one character that he knows how to do, John Turturro is over the top as ever, and Josh Duhamel rocks in everything he does. Alan...

The Transformers fandom was pretty excited to hear that Leonard Nimoy would lend his voice to Transformers 3 as Ultra Magnus Alpha Trion Sentinel Prime. He was originally the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 animated feature movie, so this could be considered his “triumphant return” to the franchise. What I...

But that was six months before the actual event. So it kind of snuck up on us, kind of like your birthday. You barely know it’s...

Recon Ravage was delivered yesterday. I ordered him eight weeks ago with a special booklet and two proof of purchase stamps, along with some money for shipping. This was the first mail order exclusive Transformer to be released since 1986 (that’s the historic part), so I’m pretty happy to get this guy. Chrissy...
