This is pretty imaginative, this user took the Transformers that we all know and love and ported them into Soul Calibur 4 complete with weapons and finishers. You might think that there is no way to get metal robots into Soul Calibur, but this guy proved everyone wrong. My favorites are Grimlock with the giant red sword, Wreckgar with his axe and shield and finally Scorponok form the Beast Wars series.
In a pretty awesome stop motiin film we see the smallest Autobot take down the leader of the Autobots. Just goes to show you that a swift kick in the nuts is the ultimate equalizer no matter what kind of fight it is. Optimus Prime takes it to him but in the ned is no match for the small yellow Autobot.

Who knew the device that would aid in destroying the world could also provide power and connectivity to all of your favorite PC devices? Whether you’re a fan of the Autobots or Decepticons, you’re pure geek if you pick up on of these.
Picking up the All Spark might set you back £17.99, but it you’re a die hard Transformers fan, it’s a drop in the bucket. I’m pretty sure I’ll be passing on this one, but it is cool as shit.

The poor corpse of HD DVD isn’t even cold yet and we are already seeing price drops on hardware and now the movies. Looks like Amazon is having a half off sale on a good amount of their HD DVD selections. Not a bad time to pick up that copy of Transformers and a few others, unfortunately I didn’t see Heroes on sale. Be sure that even more of these types of sales will be springing up shortly so if you miss this one don’t sweat it.
In a recent article I read there was some discussion in regards to how the format race is tightening up, Blu Ray which had dominated in the beginning of the year is now feeling pressure from HD DVD and it’s exclusivity deal with Paramount, specifically because of Transformers.
To me it is a bit annoying that I can’t get Heroes and Transformers in BluRay, but I don’t think it is going to drive me to buy an HD player just for a few select titles, in fact I just bought the DVD’s instead and played them on my PS3. My intention of getting a PS3 wasn’t really to get the BluRay player, but I considered that a bonus, I actually did not want to take part in this whole format debacle for this same reason, what format will win and what should we invest in as consumers?
I am sure that back in the day someone decided to invest into a whole collection of Beta Max movies and is sitting there kicking themselves years later. I will wait until maaking any serious investments, how about you?
Hit the jump for the portion of the article and a bad quote from an analyst comparing the format wars to a yacht race? go figure!?

Activision sent word that the demo for the PC version of Transformers: The Game is now available for download from their website, which weighs in at a cool 699.3MB. Hit up the downloads section for the link (it’s all Flash, so we can’t hot-link it).
The game is fairly fun on consoles, and I’d expect the same experience on the PC. Check out our review here and grab the demo and find out for yourself.
PC Requirements after the jump (don’t worry, you don’t need to buy a new machine).
When I heard there was going to be a next gen Transformers game, I was absolutely psyched. Then I saw screenshots, then videos, then gameplay. Still stoked. Then the reviews came rolling in. Wow. Its like finding out Santa Claus killed himself in your backyard. Still, I really wanted to see if everyone was overcritical and play the game myself through BOTH missions.
Presentation and Graphics: This could very well be broken into two categories, the Transformers themselves and everything else. Seeing Starscream transform on the fly on a 50” plasma was a treat unto itself just as much as all the Transformers were, but the level design and surrounding lighting was decent at the very best. It seemed that all the focus was the robots and not anything else and it made the levels seem bland and repetitive. The loading screens were actually pretty neat and the menus had their own transforming graphics and were easy to navigate. The game was polished in some areas but not all leaving much to be desired. 2.5 of 5
My brother and I snuck a couple Bud 40’s into Transformers tonight. Words can’t describe… should have sent a poet…
Yeah, it was that good.
The ultimate boss battle of all time… Optimus Prime vs. Megatron. Two giant robots duking it out for world domination. It doesn’t get any better. Ok, maybe it does, but it’s still damn cool.
Here’s your HD goodness.
