I am going to see it either tonight or tomorrow. However, what I don't understand about the cast (and haven't understood since the cast list was first released a long time ago) is why and how they would have frenzy, but not have soundwave. if frenzy was a CD player in the movie, they may as well have made him soundwave and had frenzy as a CD. And ravage and rumble were much cooler than frenzy anyway...Originally Posted by Shaolinlueb

from a transformer snob point of view, it also irked me that the name devastator was used... devastator was the robot the constructocons combined to form. Jazz shoulda been a porsche, not a pontiac and why is bumblebee a camaro? Ah well, I'm still gonna see it anyway...

I think likely the choices of cars were due nearly entirely to the fact that it was 100% GMC product placement. I read an article that was talking about the issues associated with making them transform well, and apparently they had to do a lot of research into the cars themselves to make this believable. The extreme amounts of time required to develop a single 'con or 'bot (something like a full year) in this case likely forced the issue of having to have these sponsors so prevalent. I'm no Transformers die hard purist though.
One thing that bothered me was the fact that the actors ignored the bots TOO well when they were attempting to hide. For instance, any time Frenzy was "sneaking" seemed utterly laughable to me, considering he was 1) constantly making noise, 2) incredibly shiny metal, and 3) a good 3ft tall. There is *no* way that a load of soldiers and police wouldn't notice something like that walking about a tarmac in plain sight.
I still thought the movie was enjoyable though. Needed more gore though (hardly any blood at all...).
Training again...fianlly.
Seven,
They had to change a few of the cars from different models because the directors/producers couldnt acquire the rights to use the proper model cars in the film. Bumbelebee for example...VW would absolutely not give them the rights to make him a VW bug, Why? Who knows. it could made them mucho $$$ in the long run IMO.

the way it seemed, with bumblebee at least, they fused his character with that of Hot Rod.
A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

a lot also had to do with the size. if bumblebee was a beetle he would be so small. plus they made it work i think.
devestator irked me too. they want to do the constructicons in the sequal. cant use devestator as the combined names.
gmc i am sure payed a but load of money to be in it. i think they made the vehicles work well.
that was zen, this is tao
It probably went like this: "Transformers? Cool! Sign me u.........Oh wait, it's Michael Bay! nevermind."
Well, in the cartoon, he was the smallest autobot. About 12' tall.a lot also had to do with the size. if bumblebee was a beetle he would be so small. plus they made it work i think.

they wanted to make him bigger. jazz was the smallest in the movie next to the frenzy thing.
i think they pulled them off all good.

GreenCloud, yeah, except there wasn't actually any blood in the movie, despite times when the 'bots were flinging people around with enough force to split them in twain and cause all sorts of mess. And the NYC streets scenes should probably have had blood just running in large pools through them. PG13 rating an all though.
Kickin' it
Excellent movie, I really liked it. Too bad it wasn't the Beast Wars, though.

BAH!
The next movie most assuredly must have Unicron.
If that happens, I'll be the first man ever to die in a theater as a result of Geekasm.
