Tought i\'d post this for any Transformer fans we got here
-
Even though it seems liek one of those crappy interpretation movies, the second trailer gave me some hope. Looks like a pretty badass popcorn flick.
the one thing im worried about is the voices will be corney
-
Yeah it\'ll be a big popcorn flick. Which is a good thing sometimes, and Michael Bay is good at mindless action.
Spielberg is producing tho so we will have to see. The bots do look cool tho.
-
fuckin\' awesome.
-
I love transformers :D
-
i can\'t see this at work, but i still love the transformers, the series kinda went downhill after the animated movie came out tho....even tho the comic book series features some really strong artwork, i really can\'t get into it,... hopefully this will be a decent flick...
-
Looks pretty sweet...probably a really corny story, but I\'ll still rent it...
-
I have a soft spot for Michael Bay. I should hate him with a passion, but damn it... someone needs to make mindless blockbuster action too.
-
I really dislike the Bay designs on those ahhum..."Transformers". In robot mode they look like The Guyver or Gundam on crack ; living pieces of scrap metal ! Look what they did to Megatron ! :hissyfit:

Think about it ; the \'exploded shrapmetal\' designs ONLY make some sense for their Pre-Earth / Cybertronian time.
Their alt forms on Cybertron looked exotique and strange, although definately more minimalistic than Bay\'s extravert stylistics.
Once on earth however, the Teletran 1 AI reshaped the Transformers to adapt & blend into
human made machines.
the main tagline "Robots in Disguise" should have been Bay\'s main movie guideline. Hence, the robot form should retain the basic shapes of the human made vehicle / machine it transforms into ; which doesn\'t mean at all that it will look utterly \'boxy\'.
Just look at the Mecha\'s from Macross ; their robot form retain\'s ALL reconizable parts from their vehicle mode ; and it even works ! Just look at great posability of the Yamato 1/48 models
The new Masterpiece Transformers series also proves that limb articulation can be maintained while having strictly keeping the original altform stylistics in robotform.
Masterpiece Starscream ;

I have a feeling this movie is going to ruin the franchise for me, even though I really hope the movie turns out to be good. It has potential, but they shouldn\'t play overmuch with the original designs, that\'s what people fell in love with after all.
-
I\'m not digging the way the robots look too much, wish they would have kept to the comic/cartoon/action figures of the 80\'s and just shined it up a little. They are going to far with the transformers
-
wow..that\'s megatron? he looks almost as if he\'s made of flesh!...:mad:...like mj stated, they should have stayed very close to the cartoons,*they have the tech to do it*... i hate when studios try to give their own spin on certain themes. In this case it looks like they are going ruin any amount of re-interest that was formed in promoting this film.

FUCK YEAH
Thats a transformer alright :)
Megatron rules

Wait a second. They arent planning to use THAT in the movie....right?

Because that means its already fucked up
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT :mad:

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT :mad:
Yep, all hail Michael Bay for these grandiose designs :rolleyes:
-
I WANT TO KILL THE MOTHERFUCKER :mad:
I had all those hopes that at last I ll be seeing my all time favourite G1 transformers in the big screen.
And what do we get? Something that doesnt look like transformers AT ALL!!
The ironic thing is that in the interviews they said they were trying to make it as faitfull as possible to the series in order to please the fans.
Sorry bat the fans dont like being fucked up in the ass.

somebody in those forums mentioned the word "crumpled" and i gotta agree, the models look like crumpled up aluminum foil....only prime looks decent....looks like they tried to give\'em some sort of mech/gundam look, but it didn\'t come together nicely...sheeit the transformers game that came out awhile back wasn\'t the greatest, but it was ok, at least they stayed true to the material,....transformations was decent as well....
heh reading about this now makes me want to pick up the animated movie, and the one episode in the series after the movie "call of all primitives" <---story was ok, but the art was very strong in that one, the way they animated predaking was superb, if any of you transformer fans can find them, it\'s highly recommended.
-
The \'human form\' transformers used to be recognizable from their parts. Instead of breaking every section into a dozen little angles pieces (with random black stuff and wheels sticking out), they were made up of large sections of their vehicle/animal form. It made them instantly recognizable, and was what made the show so easy to watch/follow as a kid.
This movie better have a kickass storyline to overcome the new models.

I just eh acquired the old animated movie. Gonna go watch it. I agree on the models. I\'ve always hated when they\'ve re-designed the models. Hence why i never got into beastwars.
-
proof that they are going to ruin this flick....why does that transformer look like a bug? i don\'t like the designs...

WTF have they done?! Childhood memories...shattered...
:(

im taking it for what it is. Which is the idea of transformers but made completely different.
I mean...itd honestly be pretty damn corney if it were exactly like the cartoons and stuff.
Ill still enjoy it for the visuals and a few hours i dont feel like thinking
