Rurouni Kenshin (2012)


Hitokiri Battōsai participates in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi and walks away from the battlefield as the victorious Imperialist forces celebrate. After a decade, he, now calling himself Himura Kenshin, arrives in Tokyo and meets Kamiya Kaoru, the owner of a fencing school left to her by her father. Kaouru's only student is a boy named Myōjin Yahiko. Kenshin soon moves in with them after stopping a group of thugs in the employ of Kanryu Takeda from taking over the dojo. Takani Megumi, who had escaped from Takeda after being forced to make opium, also joins the group. She provides medication for the victims of poisoning who come to the dojo for help after one of Takeda's men puts rat poison in the community wells. Angry at Takeda, Megumi, attempts to kill him, but is prevented from doing so and held hostage. Kenshin and Sagara Sanosuke attack Takeda's mansion, besting all his men. Saito Hajime then helps them subdue Takeda, who had armed himself with a gatling gun. They rescue Megumi, but discover that one of Takeda's men, Jin-e Udo, has kidnapped Kaoru. Kenshin pursues Jin-e and a duel ensues, ending when Kenshin shatters Jin-e's elbow with his scabbard. Jin-e then commits suicide. Kenshin takes the unconscious Kaoru back to the dojo, where upon waking up, she tells Kenshin that the dojo is now his home.

Below is a "old" video but first time I was aware of it as the various voice actors used in Transformers: The Ride discuss their roles. The video is from the May opening of the attraction at Universal Studios Orlando with Dustin Leighton (Evac) and Frank Welker (Megatron). Thanks to Feris for the link.

Merry Christmas from David Kaye (and TFLive)

Merry Christmas!

Just like he did last year, the voice of Beast War Megatron, David Kaye provides his Christmas wishes to all using not just Megs but Clank, animated Optimus Prime and TF Prime Hardshell.

Linkfest - Merry Christmas

Finally got around to playing catch-up on the latest in Transformers toy news. Upcoming toys include Capbots (transforming plastic ball caps), tease of the Beast Hunters line, look at Kre-O combiners, discount info on TF Prime toys, new 3rd party toy, and TF video game info. Also have video reviews Fall of Cybertron Grimlock & Starscream, MP Sideswipe & Red Alert, and more. This will be the last link fest of 2012 but next year is looking great with lots of great Hasbro toys in the pipeline including Transformers Prime Beast Hunters, more Fall of Cybertron and Generations toys. Third party makers have hinted at around 3 separate combiners (not Aerielbots, Dinobot combiner, and Throttlebot combiner) along with a bunch of more G1 homages. Takara has MP Soundwave coming and who knows what other creative twists they have in store of us. Over all next year is looking very good for Transformers and that is not even counting Transformer 4 that should start filming in late Spring.

Capbots Gallery
Yep plastic baseball caps that turn into Captimus Prime and Capticon. Still annoyed missed out the the Nike Shoeformers (plastic shoes that transformed) so went ahead and ordered without waiting on review like normally do. They are available now for around $26.

Bay Blames Transformers 4 Leak on Hasbro (and IDW)

Michael Bay has added a post script to his message yesterday about the alleged Transformers 4 script leak saying it is probably a planned comic story and so the leak came from Hasbro (and so by extension IDW).
P.S. I bet it is something from Hasbro. This time they are not doing a comic book of the movie because we want to keep our story under wraps. It must be their version of a comic themed Transformers story they are creating.
I really have no clue how he came to this conclusion as there is nothing in the script summaries to suggest any tie in to anything Hasbro or IDW has been doing for the last 10 years on either the comic book, video game or toy front. Everything about it screams fan fiction. The problem with him making guesses like this is his can cause people to lose their jobs and he needs to be more careful voicing them.

To be fair, he doesn't read comics, especially Transformers one. He probably knows they exist and he gets a little money from them but that is about all. My guess (cause mine do not have consequences) is this is residual resentment from when Amazon (not Hasbro or IDW) accidently leaked nearly all of Transformers: Dark of the Moon a month before release via a technical error when trying provide a few pages to preview the collected adaptation of the movie. Bay does not like leaks, he does not forget and so a comic adaptation will not be provided for Transformers 4. I am sure IDW is not happy about this but have no choice but to grin and bear it.

IDW March 2013 Transformers Comics

IDW Publishing has released their publishing plans for March 2013. Four comics and maybe two trades are being offered for the month. The maybe two trades depends on if you look at the Rise of the Dinobots comic as a new one-shot or a compilation of the four part digital series that detailed the origin of the Dinobots under Shockwave's evil hands. If you are interested in the books, just let your local comic book store know. For the full details of IDW's other books including GI Joe, Star Trek, Locke & Key, and more click here.

Michael Bay Denies Leak, Provides Script Progress Update

Michael Bay has posted on his website that this morning's script leak of the Transformers 4 script is a fake. Even better he let us know that they are up to page 70 on the script so probably a touch over halfway done. In general most scripts sort of work out to about page a minute so the final script will likely clock in at around 120 pages or so depending on the level of detail it provides.
Some Internet sites this morning reported that some document recovery guy has found a legitimate 120 page script of Transformers 4. I can absolutely 100 percent say this is completely false. The only two people in the world that have our unfinished script are Kruger and myself. Also we are only up to page 70 in our T4 script. Maybe this guy has a cartoon or something else – but definitely not our movie!

Transformers 4 Script Summary? Unlikely

Unleash the Fan Boy is claiming they have been given a copy of the script for Transformers 4. Nothing about the film reads like "A Michael Bay film". It really reads like a fan fiction wish list (aka re-imagining of Transformers: The Movie) that does nothing to make it seem credible. All previous films had "leaked scripts" that turned out to be false so take the story with a grain of salt and then some. Below is the highlights. A bit more detail on the fake script can be found at Allspark.com. It seems the initial site left out a few details (ends with Autobots putting up a Christmas tree among others) as a means of trying to make the story more credible when even a cursory glance would have screamed fake. AKA this is an effective link bait story so I decided to kill the link to the offending website.

Transformers 4 Shoot Begins in May

In an video interview (below) with Collider, Mark Walhberg commented on how he joined the cast of Transformers 4 and revealed that the current plan is to start filming the movie in May 2013.
“That’s why Transformers came about, because we had such a great time working together [on Pain and Gain]. We kind of complemented each other throughout the entire process, what he does and what I do and what we were able to do together, and then after that I was like ‘Dude we gotta work together again,’ and he was like, ‘Well I got a project, you interested?’ (laughs)”

Transforming Antique Desk

The idea of transforming has been around for a while as the below video of the Roentgens' Berlin Secretary Cabinet proves. What appears to be a large clock is really a desk with a whole lot of built in secrets activated through key turns and spring releases. The cabinet was built sometime in the late 18th century and owned by King Frederick William II of Prussia by Abraham and David Roentgen. The desk is currently on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Hasbro Restructures Hollywood Operations

The Hollywood Reporter indicates that Hasbro has restructured their Hollywood properties (TV, movies, commercials, etc.) under Stephen Davis who was the president of Hasbro Studios. Before the change he was in charge of the development, production of distribution of Hasbro's TV properties like Transformers Prime and most of their original The Hub line-up. This change would make him in charge of Hasbro's movie slate from this day forward which includes Transformers 4.

“We are in the early stages of unlocking the full power of Hasbro brands globally, and this new group will capitalize on our talent and creativity on both coasts,” Davis said. “We are now in a tremendous position to expand our content and storytelling more impactfully across all screens around the world.” Davis will report to Hasbro's chief marketing officer John Frascotti who in turn reports to CEO Brian Goldner. From a Transformers perspective I don't think this really changes anything. Davis has been been involved with Transformers Prime since its inception so not someone unfamiliar with the brand. Since the movie franchise is still considered Michael Bay's baby, his influence will probably not really be felt on the movies until TF5 gears up.

Transformers Orion Pax and RID #12 Previews

Transformers Spotlight: Orion Pax one-shot will be in stores on Wednesday. The issue is set before the civil war when Optimus Prime was simply Orion Pax as he goes on an adventure to save a friend. A look at the first few pages can be found here.

Peltz and Thwaites Cast in Transformers 4? (Updated)

Twitch Film reports that Michael Bay has tapped Nicola Peltz (The Last Airbender) and Brenton Thwaites (Blue Lagoon) as the two leads in Transformers 4. If true Peltz would play the around 18 year old daughter to Mark Wahlberg's character and Thwaites as her 20-something Texan race car driving boyfriend (useful skill for an action movie involving cars). The pair were on the short list of actors that Bay was reporting to be screen testing.

Update: MichaelBay.com has posted a quick comment saying "Actor announcement on some web sites last night about Transformer cast joining Mark are completely false." No further info provided. The initial short list report was never verified so unable to say if means the actors are out of the running or never in it to begin with. Bit of a shame as get feeling Peltz is untapped potential.

Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)

Botcon 2013 Locations and Date Announced

Botcon, the official annual Transformers convention, has announced that it will be held in San Diego, California from June 27 to 30th at the Town and Country Resort. The annual convention is one of the few officially recognized by Hasbro. It includes a year "Hall of Fame" ceremony and Hasbro tends to announce the next six months of upcoming TF toys there with various voice actors from the different iterations of the cartoon series participating in panels. While Michael Bay has participated in a few Botcons, he and Paramount do not use it as a place to announce anything movie related. If anything were to be planned involving TF4 more then likely it would be reserved for the San Diego Comic-Con held in July.

Real Life Toy Sized Transformer

Below is a video of a 1:12 scale remote controlled robot that actually transformers by itself into robot mode and back to car vehicle mode. The transformation sequence almost looks like it was taken from one of the G1 cartoons. Other features include built in Wi-Fi cameras, spring loaded weapons and LED lightning. It can also be yours for $24,000 from Brave Robotics. (via Bleeding Cool)

Transformers 4 Site Sorta Updated

There is absolutely nothing to report in regards to Transformers 4 except that the official Transformers Movie site has been updated with the 4 logo and chance to register for updates. This isn't to say that Michael Bay and Ehren Krueger are not working on the script and ILM are going to town creating new and amazing images. It just means that the circle is small, there are no leaks and so we just can't get our TF4 fix. Hopefully something will break sooner rather then later.
