Is that still in its original box or just the figurine alone? That price is insane.

I liked the 3d graphics alot better, I dont know I think it just made it more interesting. At the time, those visuals were state of the art for a kids tv series so I got hooked straight away. Never really got into transformers though.

Thanks for the Mandy Moore comment, yes shes tops. :

I saw it last night, thought it was awesome !! Action packed whilst being funny as well. Like the scene with the little robot in the box thing, starts shooting and fires a missile, i laughed so hard.

Got back from it a little over an hour ago. Was freaking awesome. CGI brilliant, except sometimes a little overwhelming in the fight scenes - the action was too close up and fast to really take in at times. And megan fox , surely there'd be a law against being that hot.

Who's seen this more than once? I'm going again this week to watch for the second time on the big screen

Also bought the game for Xbox360 - it's not amazing but it's good fun and I guess what you expect for a movie title. I'd buy it again anyhow just for the Transformers name :P
