Wizard Magazine. Spot The Ignorance.

From Wizard Magazine #213, A 'Transformers Special'. (By 'Transformers Special', they mean 'Contains Absolutely Nothing To Do With Transformers Except Maybe An Interview With Shia Le Beuf And The Following Half A Page Demonstrating That Wizard Still Knows Nothing About Transformers, We Just Needed An Excuse To Put Megan Fox's Cleavage On The Cover'.) I can only guess which orifice they pulled the prices below from. Plus, that's one good-looking Devastator they have there... :rolleyes:

If someone wants to sell me that Devastator for $500 I'll take it.

I was flicking through a book in the Bargain Bin at Borders the other day that was an illustrated Encyclopedia of toys. The Transformers page had a pretty accurate description of what Transformers are and its Japanese origins... but the photos included Twin Twist (good start), a badly-transformed-into-robot-mode Perceptor (facing the wrong way), a Matchbox Lion Force Voltron (a non-transforming one!) and a Yellow Voltron Lion that was described as a Canine. :rolleyes:

i'll fight you in a thumb war for that Devastator. To the winner, the spoils! :p

ROTFLMAO http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...hingsmiley.gif

Well done, Wizard! Well done! :rolleyes:

the img on the left is from toyfare, also pub'd by wizard

If that's the level of knowledge, research and verification needed to publish a collector's magazine then we should try doing one ourselves - I am sure that our amateurish one would have more integrity in its information and better pics even if we do it all half a$$ed

Wow, that's a level of fail comparable to when Pokemon World magazine declared HeartGold and SoulSilver to be fakes, despite, y'know, Nintendo putting up an official website and info being aired on a Pokemon variety show in Japan and being published in a gaming magazine and whatnot.

I have that issue of toyfare and I was quite amused by it all...
Though I doubt they would care as much (with the sideswipe error) when compared to that (in my opinion) larger fail of the pokemon magazine goof.

That said - the devastator fail is extremely amusing... I wonder if next month there'll be a correction after 'legions of fans' write in informing them of the mistake!

Sloppy work, Wizard. :rolleyes:

Ah, of course. You want me to provide evidence that the magazine really does contain the words "Transformers Special!" Well look - there they are! No, eyes up. Higher. Higher. No, up the top. Yes, there they are. ;)

What on earth is that "Devestator". Its too small for me to make out but looks like a baseformer of some kind.

it's Fortress Maximus.

I'm begging to differ on that one. I met her at the Australian advance screening a few years ago, hell I even hugged her. Freezing temperatures and she was wearing what could only be described as a handkerchief for a dress, and her tattoos. Oh, her tattoos.....

Delightful.

I was there, I remember the dress. Hey, how come you didn't come join the rest of us OzFormers and TAAUers? (we were hanging around the same area)

I think this expresses our opinions.
