Transformers: The Ride Commercial, Walkthrough and Review

In two weeks Transformers: The Ride officially debuts at Universal Studios Hollywood. That means commercial time. Also below is a thirty minutes recording of toy reviewer Optibotimus' trip on Transformers: The Ride during the preview weekend a few weeks ago. The video includes the trip through the line, the ride itself and his impressions. A gallery of images can be found here and here. Also tossed in his review of the 1:1 ratio of the AllSpark Prop Replica available at The Ride's store. It is a 1:1 replica of the prop Shia LaBeouf carried in the first movie. While it not worth it as just something to pick up at retail, it does seem like a good souvenir.

Interview with Transformers: Prime Composer Brian Tyler

Lakeshore Records has posted a nearly five minute video interview (below) with Brian Tyler who composes the music for Transformers: Prime. Using a full orchestra is rare in cartoon series (actually I am not aware of one off the top of my head) and the result is added depth to the series (really you should be watching it if you are not). In the video he talks about his approach in composing for the series, inspiration and more. (via AICN)

Transformers: Prime Ironhide Concept Art
TF Prime artist Ken Christiansen has posted his concept art for Ironhide. At the post he writes about his approach to the character. The result is a pretty "bad ass Ironhide" that seems to combine the classic G1 touches with the physical impressive look of the movie version. While the character has yet to be confirmed as appearing in the TV series, Hasbro has made a Commander class figure that will be coming out soon. A deluxe version is in the works but Kup gets first crack at the mold in release order. (via Seibertron)

Cliffjumper in Fall of Cybertron Footage

A few months ago GameTrailers TV revealed some of the first footage Fall of Cybertron. Last night they revealed more from this game, focusing on Cliffjumper. They also revealed that Metroplex will be revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) when it is held in June. Previous reports indicated that the "walking Sears Tower", will be on the Optimus Prime centric level as Prime's ability is to direct his actions.

As for Cliffjumper, while his graphical design is a red repaint of the Bumblebee design, his characteristics are different. The character has a cloaking ability to his level emphasis the use of stealth to get through the level, with enemy AI designed to punish the player that tries to engage in non-stealthy tactics.
