Tanamits! Wala na namang Transformers sa ABC 5 tuwing alas dose ng tanghali ng Martes at Biyernes at pinalitan ng ibang palabas - Lazenca (mga lazeng nga mga taga-ABC 5!). Bad trip! Kung kailan naman gumaganda ang mga ipinalalabas na mga episodes. Haayy... Wala na tayong magagawa kundi ang maghintay kung kailan uli nila ibabalik sa kanilang airlists ang Transformers. Sa mga gustong magpadala ng kanilang sama ng loob (tulad ko), tawagan n'yo ang ABC 5 sa bilang na ito: 9361556. Direct line na 'yan sa programming office nila.

In the meantime, para naman hindi kayo malungkot at kahit papaano ay may kaaliwan kayo kahit sa simula lang ng Nobyembre, narito ang mga translations ng Transformers Generation 2 introduction at program break/resume:

Transformers Generation 2 introduction:
"Si Optimus Prime higit pa siya sa nakikita ng mata. Siya ay robot na nag-iiba ng anyo. Hangad ng Autobots sa kanyang pamumuno na iligtas ang mundo laban sa Decepticons."
~Transformers!~
"Hangad naman ng Deepticons na wasakin ang Autobots at sakupin ang sangkatauhan. Sila rin ay higit pa sa nakikita ng mata."
~ Transformers! Robots in disguise. ~
"Magigiting na Autobots laban sa masasamang Decepticons. Sa kanilang mga kamay nakasalalay ang kahihinatnan ng buong daigdig."
~Transformers!~
"Transformers Generation 2.
"At ngayon, sa pamamagitan ng cybernet space cubes, lalo pang pinaganda ng computer ang Transformers: Transformers Generation 2."

Ito iyon sa Ingles:
"Driving to save the world from the evil Decepticons, the heroic Autobots are led by Optimus Prime. He's more than meets the eye - he's a robot in disguise."
~ Transformers! ~
"Going ballistic to destroy the Autobots and conquer mankind, the evil Decepticons are more than meets the eye."
~ Transformers! Robots in disguise. ~
"Heroic Autobots versus evil Decepticons with the fate of planet Earth hanging in the balance."
~ Transformers! ~
"Transformers.
"And now, through the magic of the cybernet space cube, the computer-enhanced stories of the Transformers: Transformers Generation 2."

Transformers Generation 2 program break:
"Huwag n'yong guluhin 'yan! Magbabalik agad ang Transformers Generation 2!"
Sa Ingles:
"Hey, don't thrash the place! Transformers Generation 2 will be right back after these messages." (Constructicons)
"Hey, don't flip out! Transformers Generation 2 will be right back." (Jazz)

Transformers Generation 2 program resume :
"At ngayon, sa pagbabalik ng Transformers Generation 2."
Sa Ingles:
"Now back to Transformers Generation 2." (Devastator/Dinobots)
"Don't go ballistic! Transformers Generation 2 is back." (Decepticon Seekers)

I just got a complete set of all Transformers G1/G2 episodes for my personal viewing. I plan to add the original English lines alongside the Tagalog quotes so that everyone can compare them.

Bah weep granagh weep nini bong! It's been a while since I've updated the site. Sadly, there are still no new Tagalog Transformers episodes to archive. The future actually looks more bleak because ABC-5 is now under new management. I recently clled them up and it seems that they don't intend to re-air the show anytime soon. One reason for this is because the Transfrmers, as well as the other cartoon program, as the personnel I talked to said, "are just filler shows." Hell, it might be that the Transformers are not in ABC-5's possession anymore; and that it might show up at a different channel altogether - or not at all. Pray hard to Primus, Pinoy TransFans!

In the meantime, I suggest you check out these two new, cool Filipino-created Transformers sites: Transformers 3D and Project Starscream.
