The Transformers Optimus Prime

The Transformers Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Transformers universes. He was initially given the name Optimus Primal in the Beast Wars toy line and comic book, although Primal was later altered to be a different character from Prime.Optimus Prime is a character in the Transformers universe. He is the commander of the Autobots, a faction of heroic Transformers from the planet Cybertron who wage their battles against the evil forces of the Decepticons for control of their homeworld, and by extension, peace in the universe. Optimus Prime is depicted as a heroic, brave and compassionate character who puts all his talent to use to improve the world around him. Optimus has a strong sense of justice and righteousness, and has dedicated himself to the protection of all life, particularly the inhabitants of Earth; he will battle his foes with unyielding resolve to uphold this belief. He always seems to wear a mask over his mouth. The original Optimus Prime transforms into a cab over semi truck. The truck's cab transforms into the robot mode of Prime himself, with vast strength and armed with a laser rifle. Contained within his chest is the mystic talisman known as the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, carried by all Autobot leaders and passed down through the ages. The comic book continuities tend to claim that Optimus' direct predecessor as Prime and thus bearer of the Matrix was Sentinel Prime, a fact which is part of the Dreamwave comics canon. In the cartoon continuity, it is unknown who Optimus inherited the talisman from, as he is already named as a Prime when Alpha Trion rebuilds him from his former self, which appears to indicate that Alpha Trion may have given Prime the Matrix at that point in time just after the transformation of Orion Pax into Optimus Prime. This change is depicted in the episode War Dawn. The truck's trailer disconnects and transforms into the Combat Deck, a mobile battle-station/command headquarters with an "Auto-Launcher" robot armed with assorted artillery and beam weapons. It can also serve as a radio antenna for battlefield communications between the Autobots. The Combat Deck can launch Prime's third component, Roller, a mobile scout buggy that can easily slip behind enemy lines. Optimus' senses are tied into Roller's, and can perceive what Roller does. Injury to one component is felt by each of the others, and while Prime could survive the destruction of either, despite the slight degree of autonomy they possess, the Combat Deck and Roller would not be able to survive without him. Additional powers included in the animated series and comics are short-range optic blasts, holographic map projections, a palm mounted, triangle-shaped repulsor projector and deployable hydro-foils designed by Wheeljack which allowed Prime and the other Autobots to traverse bodies of water with ease. One of Prime's more memorable[who?] abilities from the animated series was the ability to retract his right hand and replace it with a glowing energon axe; although used only once, the axe proved popular enough to be rendered in toy form several times in recent years, and made an appearance in the Dreamwave Productions and Devil's Due Publishing comic series.

Megatron The Transformers

Megatron The Transformers

Megatron is a character from the Transformers. He is the evil leader of the Decepticons and the primary antagonist of the series.The Megatron toy has been seized by Customs in Sydney because it can be mistaken for a real weapon. Customs seized more than 50 MP-05 Masterpiece Megatron Transformers in inbound foreign mail. U.S. Customs has also forbidden imports of Masterpiece Megatron toys unless the boxes are opened by the seller and an orange muzzle cap is placed on the toy. Imports without the cap are liable to be seized by customs upon entry.

Megatron is a Decepticon, one of the lineal descendants of the military hardware robots created by the Quintessons on their factory world of Cybertron. Following a war between the Decepticons and the other robot race, the Autobots, the Decepticons were defeated by the Autobots' invention of transformation. The Autobot victory began the Golden Age of Cybertron, but the Decepticons too eventually developed transformation, leading to the creation of Megatron. Gathering a small number of troops together, Megatron killed the Autobot leader. However, the ancient Autobot, Alpha Trion reconstructed young robot Orion Pax into Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots as the war erupted again. The war drained Cybertron of most of its energy, necessitating that both factions seek out new worlds and new sources of power. Megatron and his forces attacked and boarded the Autobots' craft, causing it to crash on prehistoric Earth, entombing all on the ship in emergency stasis as it crashed into a dormant volcano. Over the following years, Megatron's schemes to obtain Earth's energies continued. Megatron even made a number of temporary alliances with the Autobots, although most of these alliances ended in double crosses.

The Transformer

The Transformer

A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors — the transformer's coils or "windings". Except for air-core transformers, the conductors are commonly wound around a single iron-rich core, or around separate but magnetically-coupled cores. A varying current in the first or "primary" winding creates a varying magnetic field in the core (or cores) of the transformer. This varying magnetic field induces a varying electromotive force or "voltage" in the "secondary" winding. This effect is called mutual induction.

If a load is connected to the secondary, an electric current will flow in the secondary winding and electrical energy will flow from the primary circuit through the transformer to the load. In an ideal transformer, the induced voltage in the secondary winding is in proportion to the primary voltage (VP), and is given by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary to the number of turns in the primary as follows:

By appropriate selection of the ratio of turns, a transformer thus allows an alternating current voltage to be "stepped up" by making NS greater than NP, or "stepped down" by making NS less than NP. Transformers come in a range of sizes from a thumbnail-sized coupling transformer hidden inside a stage microphone to huge units weighing hundreds of tons used to interconnect portions of national power grids. All operate with the same basic principles, although the range of designs is wide. While new technologies have eliminated the need for transformers in some electronic circuits, transformers are still found in nearly all electronic devices designed for household ("mains") voltage. Transformers are essential for high voltage power transmission, which makes long distance transmission economically practical.

Activision has finally released some information regarding the Transformer game based on the upcoming movie by Michael Bay. The game will be called Transformers: The Game and will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, DS, Wii, and PC. Players will be able to control both the Autobots and Decepticons. The playable characters include Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, and Inronhide along with many more characters to be named at later date. You will be able to fully transform between robot form and vehicle form. The environment will come into play as it will be affected by player?s actions. Other than that, little is known about the exact play style and game play mechanics.

The Scooby Doo

The Scooby Doo

Scooby-Doo is a long-running American animated series produced for Saturday morning television in several different versions from 1969 to the present. The original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, CBS executive Fred Silverman, and character designer Iwao Takamoto. Hanna-Barbara produced numerous spin-offs and related works until being absorbed in 1997 into Warner Bros. Animation, which has handled production since then. Although the format of the show and the cast of characters have varied significantly over the years, the most familiar versions of the show feature a talking dog named Scooby Dooby Doo and four teenagers or young adults: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers.

These five characters drive around in the Mystery Machine van, solving mysteries by exposing seemingly otherworldly ghosts and monsters as flesh and blood crooks. Later versions of Scooby-Doo featured different variations on the show's supernatural theme, and include characters such as Scooby's cousin Scooby-Dum and nephew Scrappy-Doo in addition to or instead of some of the original characters.

Scooby-Doo was originally broadcast on CBS from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to ABC. ABC aired the show until canceling it in 1986, and presented a spin-off, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, from 1988 until 1991, which featured the characters as children. The series was revived for the WB Network's Kids' WB programming block as What's New, Scooby-Doo?, which ran from 2002 until 2006. The most recent Scooby-Doo series, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, ran from 2006 to 2008 on The CW network; a new series, Scooby-Doo - Mystery Inc., will begin airing on the Cartoon Network in 2009. [2] Repeats of the series are broadcast frequently on the Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the United States and other countries.

The Incredible Hulk Pictures

The Incredible Hulk Pictures

The Incredible Hulk is a 2008 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk. It is directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner/the Hulk. It is not a sequel to Hulk (2003), but rather a reboot that establishes a new back-story where Banner became the Hulk as an unwitting pawn in a military scheme to reinvigorate the supersoldier program through gamma radiation. On the run, he attempts to cure himself of the Hulk before he is captured by General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt), but his worst fears are realized when power-hungry soldier Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) becomes the Abomination. Liv Tyler also stars as Betty Ross, Banner's girlfriend and General Ross's daughter.

Marvel Studios reacquired the rights to the character after the mixed reception to Hulk, and writer Zak Penn began work on a loose sequel that would be much closer to the comics and the television series. Norton rewrote the script after he signed on to star, which clarified the film's new back-story. Leterrier aimed to make the film realistic, giving a more frightening direction for the look of the monsters, while redesigning the Abomination from the comics' reptilian humanoid into a mutated man with bony protrusions. Filming mostly took place in Toronto, Canada in 2007, where the production attempted to be environmentally friendly.

Ross, a classic "Hulk" character from the comic book's beginning in 1962, is Banner's fellow scientist and an ally in his quest to rid him of his lurking monster deep inside. The movie will unfold with Ross estranged from Banner (Norton), but with the pursuit of the Hulk heating up and Banner on the run trying to cure his condition, Ross finds herself swept back into his life.

Good news – that isn’t the case. It’s got plenty of action but it’s got decent characters. Characters that comics fans will recognise, not the usual altered-for-movie versions we’ve often been fed. It’s actually got a story; it has violence, battles and effects but it has some heart, it has some romance, it elicits sympathy for Banner/Hulk and his predicament. In short its as good as the recent Iron Man (perhaps even better) – it’s a summer blockbuster, but its one with some style and integrity to the source comics. Hulk may smash, but he also rocks. That’s the short, spoiler-free version – if you want to go and see it without knowing any more other than its damned good and worth seeing, stop reading now. Not that I’ll blow any big spoilers, but I don’t want to hint at something some folks might not want to know before they catch it. Rest of you still with me? Okay, let’s move on.

My initial ambivalence towards this second Hulk movie started to melt away pretty much from the get-go – the opening credits fill in a bit of back story to Bruce Banner’s accident for those who weren’t familiar with the first flick. Which is maybe what you might expect, but the nice thing is in the details – several rapid sequences in these opening flashbacks reference the opening credits of the old 70s Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno TV Hulk series, which, however cheesy it might be now, a lot of us have fond memories of (some of the changes also homage the show – close-up of Banner’s eyes lit up as the rest of the face is in shadow, the eyes going green; it could almost be Bill Bixby). Little details like that may skip by the casual cinema goer, but to the comics geek they show that the film-makers are determined to stay respectful to the source and history of the character, at least as much as they can in a different medium.

Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Pictures

Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Pictures

There are two things that one can learn from watching Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. The first is that with a lot of money, a crew can do wonders with paint. Scooby-Doo 2 is a wonderfully vibrant, colorful movie. Bright greens, oranges, and purples constantly fill the screen. All of the clothes, cars, costumes, and settings are vividly imagined. The second is that Matthew Lillard as Shaggy does an uncanny impression of Casey Kasem. Both these observations overlook the fact that Scooby-Doo 2 is a pretty worthless movie. It didn't even muster the energy for a story. This is just a bunch of people running around in colorful retro clothes looking for something to do. There is no reason for Scooby-Doo 2, especially given the unrelenting mediocrity of Scooby-Doo.

The "plot" by James Gunn (Dawn of the Dead, The Specials) is that all of somebody is bringing all of Mystery Inc's old villains to life. That's basically it. Cue the running around. Patrick Wisely (Seth Green, The Italian Job, Party Monster) gathered together many of the old costumes for an exhibit, and things quickly go south. Worse, reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (Alicia Silverstone, Scorched, Love's Labour's Lost) has it out for them, and her biased reports turn everybody against the gang. Shaggy (Lillard, The Perfect Score, Scooby-Doo) and Scooby (voiced by Neil Fanning, Scooby-Doo) feel personally responsible, so they vow to try to solve the case on their own. Meanwhile, Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr., Scooby-Doo, Summer Catch), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Scooby-Doo, Harvard Man), and Velma (Linda Cardellini, Scooby-Doo, Legally Blonde) go about their normal things.

Director Raja Gosnell (Scooby-Doo, Big Momma's House) is also back, and again does nothing memorable. Yes, the first film made more money than it should have, but that was because of the relentless advertising. This second film does nothing whatsoever to improve upon the first, except to throw a lot more villains at the gang. The actors still interact poorly with the CGI Scooby, and Prinze still proves that he has much to learn as an actor. The story bides its time with big action sequences, inside jokes and lots of toilet humor before the inevitable unmasking. Amazingly, the special effects are pretty decent. None of the monsters look scary, but one can appreciate that they look cartoonishly realistic. There is an obvious red herring, and one, that, to Gunn's credit, is not so obvious. The sad truth of this movie is that small children will probably enjoy it, and not because it's good.

The Gundam Mecha Pictures

The Gundam Mecha Pictures

Mecha, also known as meka or mechs, are walking vehicles controlled by a pilot, often appearing in science fiction or other genres involving a fantastic or futuristic element. Mecha are generally, though not necessarily, bipedal, with arms, hands, and fingers capable of grasping objects. A mecha that approximates the shape of a human body allows the use of martial arts movements and swordsmanship, ceremonial acts of honor, saluting, and other human mannerisms that cannot be performed using a tank or airplane. In most fiction in which they appear, mecha are war machines: essentially armored fighting vehicles with legs instead of treads or wheels. Some stories, such as the manga Patlabor and American miniatures game Battletech, also encompass mecha used for civilian purposes such as heavy construction work, police functions or firefighting.

Some sci-fi universes posit that mecha are the primary means of combat, with conflicts sometimes being decided through gladiatorial matches. Others represent mecha as one component of an integrated military force, supported by and fighting alongside tanks, fighter aircraft, and infantry, functioning as a mechanical cavalry. The applications often highlight the theoretical usefulness of such a device, combining a tank's resilience and fire power (though in theory it is impossible for a mecha to wield as large a cannon as a tank, due to recoil) with infantry's ability to cross unstable terrain. In other cases they are demonstrated with a greater versatility in armament, such as in the Armored Core series of video games where mecha can utilize their hands to carry a wide range of armament in the same manner as a person albeit on a much larger scale. The distinction between true mecha and their smaller cousins (and likely progenitors), the powered armor suits, is blurred; according to one definition, a mecha is piloted while a powered armor is worn. Anything large enough to have a cockpit where the pilot is seated is generally considered a mecha.

The first occurrence of mecha in fiction is thought to be the novel The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells where the Martians use tripod walkers very similar to mecha, but this fails to take into account that, thirty years before, Jules Verne published the La Maison à vapeur (The Steam House), which featured a steam-powered, piloted, mechanical elephant. The first occurrence of mecha robots being piloted by a user from within a cockpit was later introduced in the manga and anime series Mazinger Z by Go Nagai. However, many have argued that the original idea for piloted mechanical suits should be attributed to Robert A. Heinlein. In his 1959 serial Starship Soldier, which was later published as a novel under the title Starship Troopers and then adapted for film in 1997. In his story, Heinlein writes about the soldiers being equipped with powered armor exoskeletons. Whether mecha was inspired by Heinlein's Starship Troopers or not, it was popularized by Japanese anime and manga.

Rarely, mecha has been used in a fantasy convention, most notably in the anime series Aura Battler Dunbine, The Vision of Escaflowne and Maze. In those cases, the mecha designs are usually based on some alternative or 'lost' science-fiction technology from ancient times.
