Transformers

[SevenStar]

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...).

Gore was a non-issue in the film, IMO. It was about the battle between autobots and decepticons, no? robots don't bleed. prime specified that the autobots don't hurt humans, and the decepticons are wholly unconcerned with them (don't care if they die) so what point would gore have served?

[SevenStar]

lol!!

they want to have soundwave in it, dinobots, and the constructicons.

bah. screw unicron. the following are my list of which bots will need to be in the next movie if I am to die of geekasm:

soundwave
ravage
devastator - the real devatstator, not brawl renamed to devestator, as in this movie.
mirage
thundercracker
skywarp
thrust
ramjet
galvatron
ultramagnus
hot rod
brawn

if I am being easy, I will geekasm if at least soundwave, ravage and galvatron are in it. Since megatron is supposed to be dead, it would make for a good entrance for galvatron.

Also, it would be awesome to see the triple changers, but design for them would be hard as hell.

[SevenStar]

More like the Maximals and the Predicons.

WHAT??!?! why?

[Shaolinlueb]

the devistator was a mistake one of the producers said. it was suppossed to be brawl like in the toy line.

[SevenStar]

I would also geekasm if it had the only human capable of killing transformers - circuit breaker.

C'mon, 7*. You know Grimlock would be sweet as hell.

I'd also like to see the Aerialbots transform into Superion.

And whoever said Beastwars needs to be b1tch slapped.

I thought that was kinda funny, Prime's non-masked face moving nearly exactly as the BW Primal, down to the overly dramatic nose/upperlip parts.

That was the only thing I didn't like about the prime design - he should have had the full mask.

yeah, the dinobots would be awesome. I wouldn't mind seeing superion, but only because devastator needs some ass to kick.

It was retractable. He had it in battle.

[SevenStar]

right, but talking without it just didn't look right. prime was a ninja.

[PangQuan]

ahh, gotcha. Ya I agree with you on that one.

Hes so bad ass the only thing big enough to cover his girth of bad assatudness was an 18 wheeler!

[PangQuan]
