Transformers Animated

Transformers Animated poster

Yes, the next Transformers cartoon is almost upon us.

I must admit I was a little worried when I heard that the Teen Titans people would be designing the new cartoon. But then I heard that the Legion of Superheros writers would be involved. That is a pretty good show.
Now that the toy pics and previews of the show out I really don't feel so bad about it all.

I think the new show will be more like G1 than ever before. Characters like Arcee and Grimlock look exactly like their G1 selves. Optimus also looks very close. I love all the little G1 things they have slipped into the show.
Most of all I love this little Orion Pax reference they have in the first episode or so.

Plus all these people complaining about the art. Transformers was anime to begin with... What is so wrong about it being the new anime (american-anime) now?

I think the show will do very well. What with riding on the coat tails of the movie and the popularity of Teen Titans, and the like, I think this show will appeal to a wider audience than any TF cartoon since G1.

I really don't see how these "Die hard TF fans" can truly call themselves fans when they REFUSE to like anything but the original G1 show/toys. Things change people. If Transformers did not change it would would not be where it is today. I would be only a memory in the minds of those "die hard TF fans". ;) Transformers will be cool no matter what form they take.. I mean come on... they are Transformers after all.

I myself cannot wait for the new show and new toys. :D

The blog is dead. Long live the blog!

A few months ago I dusted off this blog which I had not touched since 2011. The reason? I was prompted by an article written by Mike Elgan about how famed podcaster and internet host Leo Laporte was dropping social media all together. No Facebook, no Twitter, not even an Instagram. Leo retreated to the safety and security of his own blogs. A world totally under his control. That got me thinking about my terribly limited use of social media (i.e Google+) and why I even bother using it. My engagement on the once flourishing Google+ had all but dried up. I really only communicate regularly with three or four people on the platform these days. All of this lead me to examine the reasons I still bother to post anything to Google+ and the answers were pretty simple. The primary use? To share photos of our travels and grandpuppy with our family. The others? To read the news and to share and converse about things that I like and that matter to me. Then came the announcement that Goo...

The end of an era...

I received an email today from Blogger informing me that as of March 26th they will no longer support FTP blog publishing. My blog has been powered by Blogger since 2004 and FTPed to my hosting service. I really don't know exactly what I plan to do. This site can remain exactly as it is but I will no longer be able to update it via Blogger. For the time being I plan to move this blog over to http://batcaveweb.blogspot.com . Google supports custom domains and such but I'm not really sure I want to continue to use Blogger after this change. I will loose all of my custom sub-pages and a whole lot of customization ability. The same goes for the Istari blog. I will be moving it over to http://istariguild.blogspot.com . I may at some point use the custom domain option to redirect batcaveweb to the Blogger server but I doubt it. I will probably have to start from scratch and move to some custom content system. However, I really don't use my blog all that much these days so...
