  1. Nah, not at all. Michael Bell is still alive and doing conventions - He voiced Prowl, Swoop, Scrapper and some others. Jack Angel is still alive and well (Ultra Magnus) Susan Blu (Acree) is still alive and doing voice work Gregg Berger (Jetfire/Grimlock) is still around and does lots of conventions Wally Burr (writer) is still alive Arthur Burghardt - is alive, but not overly fond of transformers this day and age. Corey Burton (shockwave) - is alive and still doing voice acting, he was last in the clone wars cartoon. Victor Caroli - the narrator is still alive. Paul Eiding, Laurie Faso are still kicking Rodimus Prime (Dick Guatier) is still alive and well) Dan Gilvezan is still alive and well - he's quite young and still does some transformers work. Overall of 100ish total voice actors for the G1 Cartoon (From additional voices to one episode guys to main actors) only 12 or so are dead . Cool fact is most of the voice actors also worked on my favorite cartoon - gi joe :P
  2. Chris Latta is a god to us. (i'm guessing you know Cobra Commander/Star Scream were the same guy)
  3. You make a valid point on G1/G2 Graphics. However that fanbase is very touchy for accuracy and detail - you think runescape players whine? G1 Transformer fan's will be anal over a paint color. Voice acting is key for G1 - Some actors are dead (Latta for Starscream could be substituted perfectly by charles adler) - but the voice actors of prominent characters like Ratchet, Jazz, Thrust, Inferno are dead, Not to mention the voice of Devastator Arthur Burghardt - is pretty hateful to transformers fans and doesn't seem willing to touch anything transformer based currently. if it is G1 The story if it's "cannon" will only cause people to riot if something crazy happens. IF a character got killed from continuity from a videogame - god have mercy on any developers soul. Armada/Energon are interesting picks - but the cartoons were not as loved stateside - more of a comic thing. The toy lines did well. Beast Wars/Machines were fun as a kid, but man, going back to that animation in 2011 is hard to watch.
  4. to be fair - I don't think it really matters who the hell does a transformer MMO, it just seems to me as a gamer and transformer toy/autograph collector that it's a doomed property.
  5. Since she was removed from the movie franchise - It won't.
  6. I'm a huge transformers fan. Hell I've been working on a large majority of the original voice cast's autograph. But this will not work for many reasons. Transformers fans are Anal. there was a 98 page thread on a transformer forum about starscreams movie transformation being different than the cartoon - sure the movie was a success (I am working on the casts autographs of that too) - but diehard fans nitpicked it to death. Which universe do you do? G1 with the dinobots and insecticons or the movie universe that tends to rely on hot women and explosions, explosions explosions? The former was ruled out because movie audiances (mass lemmings) wouldn't buy dinosaur robots - and the later would require sex and graphics - two things that Jagex has been unable to do. Star Trek online had a huge licensee - certainly bigger than transformers. It blundered. Star Wars (one of hasbro's bigger sellers than transformer) flopped at galaxies. Conan has movies, comics and action figures - and also flopped. The game will need LOTS of voice acting and not random Jagex people in a studio. If Peter Cullen doesn't voice Prime, it's a failure. (Okay, Maybe Neil Kaplan) If Adler doesn't do star scream - it's a failure - if Weaving/Welker don't touch megatron - it will be odd. , it will need detailed intricate cutscenes - it will need a cohesive plot and questlines resolved (runescape sure as hell can't do that). Hasbro is also very controlling - it's well documented online where they required certain things to stay the same for the movies, essentially the creative control enjoyed with runescape will be very limited here. Secondly you will have combat. Let's take a look at devastator in the G1 Cartoon - he was defeated by the dinobots multiple times before brutally killing them in the movie. In the movie he was a blundering idiot with no real power (compared to his cartoon) - Which one do you use? War for cybertron was well designed, but both wii games failed hard. And i'd like to think Activision is slightly more successful than Jagex Who will play? Transformer toy colelctors are a deep pocketed group of old men - don't tell me kids buy the toys as Transformers Animated was a retail flop toy wise and clearenced out (I picked up the entire line almost at retail for 50-80% on markdowns - Hell I bought the StarScream for $4 - he was originally $25.) Transformers classics sell to adults - and most of them are the same guys who have posted in the same communities for years. I don't see them as avid MMO players. Very few of the toy collectors I know are (and I'm an avid user at other toy forums). Then you have the people who made the movies a hit - small kids and teens who either have parents buy them toys and won't be over 12 to play and teens who have Wow and other MMO's I call a flop.
  7. It was nothing more than shock writing using accusations to try to get views/readers/users in a time that flat out - Tip.it was Pathetic. The moderation was awful and overbearing to an extent now that makes Tip.it Today look lawless and wild. As an administrator with access to the archives, No - you're not 100% Correct. The Database in 2004 was compromised by an exploit and the team at the time was too inept to figure out how to run a forum both as far as by providing content and technically. As an Administrator of tip.it - flat out - Tip.it deserved the humiliation they got at the time. If any site gets compromised - the users deserve to know. The old tip.it's mod's and admin team wasn't user friendly and thats an image i've worked hard for 3 years trying to repair. The fact i'm still working on it 3 YEARS later shows how seriously screwed up it got. Tip.it in your era was very cloak and dagger mysterious - The Adminstration today, wouldn't lie about it or cover it up and times have changed. I don't know if you play runescape now - But Jagex has changed and is alot less likely to give a crap about what was written and published this week vs what was published then. We have better things to do then to censor users or ban people for thier opinions. ~Das
  8. oh lordy @ you!

  9. You mean workout at all? Lulz.
  10. like adrian i have questioned and been questioned upon. I typically got questioned when it involved someone getting kicked. People didn't like their buddies getting kicked for breaking our not so hard to follow rules. Seriously I didn't care how good of a tank,pker or cool guy in teamspeak you were - you botted - you were gone, Lol. As for here - I like people to question my rules. :P
  11. so your love knows no limits? :P
  12. She said let's not, and I highly suggest for everyone to drop the cabbage or we will have to start disciplining people. You've been warned. multiple times.
  13. same to you.

  14. you know i'm irresistible

  15. most women tend to think so ;)

  16. i prefer sexy ;)

  17. or spam you with porn :evil: Disclaimer: The above post was a sarcastic witty response and not meant to be taken serious by anyone paranoid or foolish enough to believe so.
  18. they sell your number and you get spam on your phone maybe that's not a big deal to you but that would make me change my number I've had my Google account linked to my mobile for years and not got one spam text. Most cell companies have ways to prevent abuse, however must phone plans for non smartphone cover 500+ texts and are based on minutes - not total calls. To use 500 texts in 30 days? thats over 15 texts a day. I get invited to a facebook group for a new number weekly because of people messing up phones and changing providers. Heck, Just do what a friend did, mass text everyone, it's not a hassle that would take 2-3 minutes. IF AND A BIG IF it ever happened. Are you one of those people who wear gloves out in public because you're afraid to touch anything or anyone? Watch out an Alien is behind you!!!!! He's got a ICEPICK TOO....AHHHHH
  19. How did you get Wongtong to agree to be your avatar? I didn't. And from what I heard, limecat is not amused. Then again, hasn't been for years... and I'm yet to be bothered about that. Howdy mate!
  20. Marcell! Good to see you man, seen you pop in and out on rs some - you thinking of staying around? :P
  21. I discussed this with my former co-workers. It would be kinda cool at first, but then you might get sloppy seconds, get hired to do weird junk, and you'd probably have to "finish" on cue. everyone needs IT, i wasn't talking about preforming as most male talent starts out in male/male scenes. I just want easy access to the ladies for a few months for my autograph collecting :P
  22. working in adult entertainment would be the life.
