Movie toy commercial

[Ultra Magnus]

I just saw a commercial for the TF movie transforming figures, while my kids were watching the Legion of Superheroes on the CW. I haven't seen an actual commercial (other than the newer cartoons ) in quite some time.

Seemingly the first step to transforming optimus is to puch down on his hood section, causing the sides to pop out.

I want to push down on his head until his insides pop out!

Didn't see that coming.

Actually, though you can just push down his hood, it seems like it'd be hard on all the joints you flex doing that.

[Ultra Magnus]

I think on the commercial they were trying to imply that he was a really easy change. It seemed like the hood push, head pop, and leg straightening, and VIOLA robot mode. This got my minicons saying, "See Daddy, we could do that one!!!" (in reference to the hands off policy for my Voyager Prime)

So, it is working as intended for the marketers. Luckily I know better in this case, and will start them on the easier, more sturdy pieces. I had to freeze the tivo on the end of the commercial to get the 7 year old to read out the changing time/success may vary disclaimer.

LOL!

[Commander Megatron]

TT, Galvatron there is a thread for that sort of thing in the bar.

[Time Traveller]

Actually Megatron, that was called ruling by subtly placed threats. Check it out. Sometimes it works better than killing off a potentially useful insubordinate.

Just saw another comercial (technically two short ones squished together). This one was about the blasters and the voice changer. The voice changer commercial was a bit better than the Darth Vader voice changer's.

For the blasters, it infered that you simply stick it on your arm, press one button, and *boom* you got a blaster. (Any proud blaster owners wish to confirm or deny this?)

I will deal you in my own time! Not while I'm reading the forums!!

Kicks feet up and lights a tobacco pipe, then adjusts his reading glasses...

Kicks feet up and lights a tobacco pipe

mmmhmmm. "Tabacco".

I must admit I am partial to a nice cigar. A Henri Wintermans Half Corona Deluxe and a nice glass of Hennessey. *sigh* Heaven.

[Rodimus Prime]

one minute you act like a 2 year old, now you sound like you are 80 and want your slippers. Either that or your new name is Heff.

[Commander Megatron]

Prime, you gotta appreciate the finer things in life. Smoking a cigar doesn't make me old, idiot. As for the Hennessey, I just like it.
