    I love the "fight" between Optimus and Predaking, it's like to people walking towards each other and then being all "Oh terribly sorry old bean!"

    Yeah, worries of "flase advertising" lawsuits have sanitized companies advertising imaginations. apparently Tomy/Takara in Japan dont have to worry that much, but Hasbro does unfortunately...gone are the days...

    okay, it was cheesy, but something about it makes me happy. maybe the fact that Hasbro knows who it's selling to? obviously the 20 to 30+ year olds. I love that actually. I wish they'd do that with their other lines (MLP FiM).

    I wish they'd give this guy a name, maybe "Hasbro Bill". and YES we need Kreons of him. STAT. He's like the new "Mac Guy" from the PC/Macs, but... maybe we need a Mattel guy for him. :p

    I'm a kid.
    I'm way the hell over 5 years old-- but technically I'm still included.

    ...so, happy face! :)

    They're functional, I guess. Functional and soulless.

    Of course what we don't see is his dirty van parked just out of shot to gather up all the unwitting kids enticed near by his toys.
    I'm thinking 'MonoTony'. But then he'd sound like a viral disease. Although that's probably apt for viral videos.

    How about HasBrother?

    I think the guy in these videos was also in the videos put out for the Battleship Kre-O sets.

    I wonder if he has a button to press to make him say 'It's the Transformers Generations <size class> action figure from Hasbro'? (Apart from when he's in Europe or Canada when he just makes 'Pew! Pew!' noises...)

    If they were advertising them to "us" then they only need a long lingering shot of the box art and a line about the shelf size needed to staNd it on.

    job done.

    Depends on whether or not you hear the Deep Note the first time you push Metroplex's sound module.

    That Metroplex is waaay different from the actual release... Why the hell do promotional things like these always get it wrong?
    Not to mention all the awful mistransformations and just plain sloppiness...

    EDIT: WAIT DID HE JUST CALL BH PRIME'S GUNS ICONIC!? *FLIPS TABLE*

    Looks the same to me...although the lighting has me wondering if the face isn't white...

    Possibly, but like I said above, something makes me think the lighting is playing tricks on my eyes. In some parts it looks silver, toward the end of the video it looks white. *shrugs*

    All I know is, the one I got from BBTS....is white.

    For those of you saying he's monotoned... You may want to check either your ears or your definition of the word...? He sounds like a recording in every video, sure (and I bet some advertising bigshot made that call on purpose), but that is some very prominent enthusiasm there - albeit artificial.

    I thought it was funny how he pulled off those tongue-twisters. I say hilarious because they were well executed, but I could hear that it wasn't easy. I wonder how many takes some of those took.
