    Rhino doesn't have the rights to it anymore. The rights moved to Sony or somebody.

    how is that possible? the movie came out last tuesday unless they consider the two shows they had monday night as a full day (which is a bit unfair, but that brought in 8.8 on those two shows alone which would bring the daily average.... and also today there are still a lot of shows to be shown unless it is projected total.

    buzzsaw and ratbat.


    one more thing i have always wondered, how is it that Astrotrain is the same size as everyone else, yet when he turns into a space ship they can fit the entire decepticon army inside of him?

    Same reason why Megatron could be the size of Optimus and Transform into a gun that fits into Starscream's hand..

    TO ME Prime was always the toughest autobot. i remember one episode where starscream was fighting an autobot, i forgot which one, and he was strangling him, then the autobot yelled out "optimis prime"!


    starscream turns around, thinking prime was behind him, scared shytless.
    turns back around and gets blasted with a punch to the face. :D

    I remember most episodes ended when Prime returns with his hand cannon blasting holes into Decepticons. Usually the fools retreat with the upper hand too.

    For the people doubting me:


    'Transformers' Morphs Into a Blockbuster

    The shape-shifting robots of "Transformers" have taken on a new form: Huge piles of cash.

    The sci-fi saga "Transformers," DreamWorks and Paramount's big-screen take on the Hasbro toys, debuted with $67.6 million in ticket sales in its first weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That gave it $152.5 million since opening with preview screenings Monday night.

    If the weekend figures hold when final numbers are released Monday, that would give "Transformers" the biggest first week revenues ever for a non-sequel, surpassing the $151.6 million of 2002's "Spider-Man." But factoring in today's higher ticket prices, "Spider-Man" drew more people in its first week, about 26.1 million, compared to 22.5 million for "Transformers."

    "Transformers," was directed by Michael Bay and features a cast led by Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, who are among the humans hurled into the action when two races of warring robots bring their feud to Earth.

    The movie's striking visual effects and the Transformers brand which debuted in the 1980s with toys, a TV show and an animated movie proved irresistible for audiences, said Rob Moore, Paramount's head of worldwide marketing and distribution.

    "Michael Bay created something visually that people hadn't seen before," Moore said. "When you look at a jet plane flying under a bridge then flipping and turning into a robot, those kinds of images people found incredibly unique and compelling."

    "Transformers" also took in $93.6 million in 23 other countries where it has opened since June 28.

    What I want to know is, how did they make this movie for less than $150 million, yet it took $175 million to make Evan Almighty?

    Think a lot of the money put into Evan was due to all the live animals and huge set piece, the ark, it had. Most of that stuff was practical stuff as opposed to CGI

    CGI is now the cheap way to do things. When you actually build sets and have live action things, that's more expensive now.
