Slow News Day: The Return

It has been a long time since did one of these. At the time the news was flying fast and furious but now that things have slowed down, it seems like a good time to go back and look for those links and the like that site fans sent me relating to Transformers. I started with some of the older suggestions, a few of which went all the way to the beginning of the year. As a result some of the videos and the like may seem like "old news" to some but I figure for most they may not have seen these fan made efforts. Five videos total are below.

Unsolved Mysteries: The Death of Optimus Prime - "Investigation" of the death of the iconic character in Transformers: The Movie using combination of the movie's footage, toy "re-enactments", new voice work and more, all with faithful re-creation of the Unsolved Mysteries style. Thanks to Jon for the link.

Transformers Related Humor

Here is some humorous stuff stumbled across or provided by site readers to hopefully entertain. The cartoon related videos do have cuss words so not safe for work or kids.

First off, is the humour article about the "7 Most Useless Transformers Ever", the list in decreasing order is Soundwave, Wheelie, Astrotrain, Computron, Nightbeat, Perceptor, and Repugnus (who?).

Second, a humorous video of a McDonald's manager freaking out over someone ordering food with an Optimus Prime helmet on. Sadly can't embed so click here to view.

Next, two video of a remixed episodes of two Transformers cartoons. These are the cuss word loaded ones. The third video is a cute Street Fighter style fight between Megatron and Optimus Prime. Thanks to Radames for the links to the videos. The fourth video, not really humorous but is a Nissan "Transformers" commercial that's more morphing then transforming but still the influence is there. Thanks to Trailer for the link.

Penny Arcade's "Transformers Transfigured"

Penny Arcade decided to have some fun with the recent pic of Optimus Prime (as seen here) and Michael Bay. Its funny, even if maybe reading a little bit to much into the picture. I hope they make a series of strips on the movie, the actual movie producers, etc probably not so much.
