Transforming Friday workday into excitement

Ok, I used to watch transformers every day when I was younger. I mean what kid my age didn't? The very idea of a car, dinosaur, or gigantic insect changing into an enormous robotic being is enough to get even my 30 something brain cranking! Not only were they extremely cool technology, they were aliens!! Lasers, space wars, fast cars! Oh, man these guys were sitting on a gold mine. I bet they had their own money mint in the back room of the Transformers Inc. office building. Right next to the life sized Optimus Prime.

The other evening, while watching TV, I got to see a short Transformers preview. I jumped up off the couch and stepped closer to the Television so I wouldn't miss a nanosecond. HOLY COW!!!! That jet that transformed was just about enough to make me a happy man had I died right there!!! Any fears that they were going to make them look like the original cartoons has left my brain. No these aren't going to be obviously CG (though they obviously are CG). The short clip I saw on TV almost had me looking out the window to see the Constructicons walk by!

So, it looks like the full length trailer for the upcoming Transformers movie has hit the net.

Talk about making my day!!!

After watching the TV preview my wife informed me that I have to see the movie before taking my 6 year old to see it, to make sure it won't give him nightmares. Can't say that my wife requiring me to watch Transformers twice depresses me all that much.

Nergon, let's plan on doing this one together. I doubt our wives want to wipe the drool from our chins...

Absolutely. You plan on being here the weekend after the 4th and we'll get you a ticket.

I could have come, but I spent the $100 on Andrew's Church Camp. I know it's important to him and that's what being a parent is all about. I will be with you in thought! =/cry.

Let the kid go to camp, I'll let you know when we're going and you can get a ticket in your area at the same time. We'll go "together."

I'm there, man we will definitely go!

I wasn't so much into Transformers as a kid, but these trailers have my jaw on the floor every time I see one. The exclusive Yahoo trailer that hit the tubes last week was just insane. Michael Bay has really done something impressive here.

I was always into G.I. Joe. Cuz G.I. Joe was cool and the toys didn't cost so much. Transformers were for richer kids. But I did watch the cartoon because I think it was back to back with G.I. Joe after school. Ahh the memories.
