they were always real to me: a transformers universe 2008 promo

you remember when Michael Bay's Transformers movie mecha-designs were leaked online way back when? when hardcore old-skool Trans-fans screamed blardy murder for not utilizing their beloved G1 cartoon-based blocky Trans-mecha designs? ... well this new promo video done by Hasbro for their 2008 Transformers: Universe line shows that it would have also rawked hard with original G1-designs, IMHO. hell, i seriously don't mind having both the physics-real-Bay version and this hyper-cartoon version co-existing in our real-world realms. and darnnit now i wanna see a full-length G1-movie done like this!
