Collection Count: 150+, 7 Shinkis News Credits: 1 | Optimus Prime on cover of Variety So on the train this morning at 0-dark:thiry the man across from me is reading Variety. There on the top right of the front page is good ol' Movie Prime!
The article is mainly about movie bots in general, but I was glad to see Prime on the cover.
I may hit up B&N or Borders tonite to see the actual paper but in the meantime, here is a link to the online article. Even bigger robots on studio schedules - Entertainment News, Weekly Film, Media - Variety
I have not had time to read this yet myself. Hope it is worth it...but what the heck eh.

I know Variety has been famous for it since the magazine's inception, but still ... it makes the writer sound like a tool.
But yay for more robots.

G1 is the root system of Transformers; ugly, rough, dirty but also strong and enduring. It was the beginning.

A lot to look foward to!  - Backscatter "Megatron failed. I lived...but changed. Since then, I feel only hatred ..." |
