Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

The debut of the Transformers toy line in 1984 featured many different toys that were originally from several different toy lines in Japan (Diaclone, Micro Change). Soundwave, a robot that transformed into a micro-cassette recorder, was among the first figures in the Transformers line. Unlike most of the other Transformers in that first wave, Soundwave had a gimmick that went above and beyond just being able to transform and back. He was able to fit other Transformers that took the form of micro-cassettes in his chest.

This was a really well received gimmick and more Transformer micro-cassette figures would be released over the years that could fit in Soundwave and his Autobot counter-part Blaster. The truly unique aspect of these cassette Transformers was not so much in the fact that they could fit in the chest of another Transformer, but rather the variety and range of things, into which, these cassettes were able to transform all from the very same small form factor.

You know what’s weird? “Weird Al” having to ask David Kaye “how do we do this?” That’s pretty weird – especially weird for David Kaye. “They can make that happen, this is LA.”

Music clips during transformations are instrumentals from Tony Bacala. You can listen to some more of his stuff here. (Warning, its a MySpace page with autoplay.)

The Transformers Animated series started with some skepticism, which soon turned into delight for many Transformer fans. Now with two seasons down, and the soon-to-premiere third season all but confirmed as the final season of the series, fans are of the show are left wanting more. Fear not fans! Its not over yet. It may be the final season, but its only starting this Saturday with a 90 minute premiere entitled ‘Transwarped’.

This season is sure to have quite a few things under its sleeve. Derrick Wyatt has posted a couple teaser images on his blog, A Delightful Tedium.

Join us after the jump for a fun look at what’s to come.

Yes. I know you can see the lamp in the corner. My little camera preview screen apparently crops what it actually records. Which also partially explains the bottle of water.

Check out this ad for the Transformers Animated DS game that just popped in my mail box.

Notice anything fishy?

Yeah, I know this game is OUT, why is Activision sending me an email now?

But seriously, they’re hyping Revenge Of The Fallen in the lower right corner there. And since this is an Activision ad, chances are its not for the movie. Its for the tie in game.

I seriously, seriously hope they do a better job than the last time around.
