TransFormers Sequel News !!!
A brief synopsis of the Transformers sequel (due for release in 2009) can be found at the internet movie data-base site…
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/
Here’s what it says (spoilers… kinda)
“The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.”













Looks like a decent story for the sequel.. But much like the first movie, it’ll suck because the transformers look nothing like the transformers that everyone know.. If megatrons body was stolen from the US military then who was the decepticon that they threw into the ocean at the end of the first movie..??
so because they changed the look of the transformers, the movie sucked?
that’s the dumbest view of a movie i’ve ever heard (or read… whatever).
grow up, fanboy. i’m as big a fan of transformers as most (i haven’t dedicated my life to it like some weirdo’s, but i’ve been a fan since i can remember), but the change in designs didn’t bother me at all. why would it matter? the characters were the same in personality so why, oh why, does it matter what they look like?
You and I are on the same page.
The look of the transformers was one of the plethora of reasons why i hated the movie.. The movie sucked because it was done badly, it was done by someone who has never seen an episode of the transformers in his life, that an the fact that Michael Bay and Speilberg should never have been behind the production / directing wheel to begin with, because they inferior and nothing more then one hit wonders.. I don’t want to point out all the mistakes of the movie, as it’ll take up all the memory and space on this site.. But the plethora of product placements would be one of the dead give aways..
However, I did for all it’s worth like the skeletel designs of the transformers, it’s a pity they messed up the rest.. They had (if memory serves me correctly) $173million dollars at their disposal to make the movie, so your gonna honestly tell me or write to me (whatever’s easier) that they couldn’t fit in that huge budget of theirs… making the transformers ‘transform’ into their original states..?? That’s the main issue i have with the movie, that and the fact that they chose hugo weaving instead of frank welker to be the voice of megatron, what a direct slap in the face that was..!
Just because they changed the look of the transformers does not mean it sucked!!!!!! I realize that some people are used to the cartoon transformers, but if they made a cartoon animated movie, it woul seem as if it was only for children. I for one think that it was wrong to bring megatron back without reviving jazz. But I guess the new movie will answer all our questions.
or was it the humans???
(that scene where the aircaft carrier is dropping junk)
you know. micheal bay could have easily used this as an excuse to re-animate megatron as his G-1 self??
well the only thing we have left is imagination (guys try picturing the movie but with correct vehicles and voices?..and bumble bee instead of kicking the crap out of barricade not using a massive arsenal outsmarts barricade and gets on on him in the refinery.)
could you see the older fans cheering???
as with the new movie,great for the new fans not sure about otyhers
i think (even though it has not got the graetest storyilne) transformers II will be good if bonecrusher returns and blackout returns. and i want more long scenes on Cybertron!!! i think the animating rocks as hard as frozen custard.
I wanna see more lone scenes of Megan Fox… (then again who wouldn’t)
Now on with the topic, i think your idea jackster on having long scenes of cybertron wouldn’t be a bad idea.. I’m just hoping that they’ll get the atmosphere, the whole robotic feel, the artificial intelligence, the technology, something that a little kid would dream up, i would love for them to come up with something like that.. I would even go as far making it look more bladerunner-ish, but more chaotic..
What i reckon Michael Bay should do, is have a competition on which little kid from across the globe can come up with the best cybertron idea.. Because im sure there is a kid out there who has read all the “choose your own adventure” books, who is into sci-fi novels, who likes space and astronomy in general… i’ll guarantee that they’ll come up with an idea 1000x better then anything that Bay, Orci and co. can come up with.. Because you gotta admit, the first movie did kinda suck, the only eventful moment of the movie was Megan Fox and the end credits..
What the hell hapens to Barricade in the movie
Other then the fact that he got his ass handed to him with the fight against bumblebee, i don’t really know what happens to him.. The end fight scene in the city was somewhat of a blur, it was disappointing.. I think he got his ass handed to him again, cuz at the end of the movie all we see is starscream flying into the atmospehere, so my guess is that he blown up or something..
He was a useless decepticon in the movie anyway, he didn’t do much other then getting his ass kicked time and time again..
Well for a wperson who thought the movie sucked, u sure know a whole lot!!! But that was another good point that in the final battle, several robots were never seen. The only ones dead for sure were bonecrusher, brawl and megatron. It was a little confusing, but maybe starscream knows where they are????
Well w00kie, for someone who refused to watch the movie you sure do know a lot about it…
And yeh, I too hope to see more of Cybertron. Maybe a few protoform bots running around. And maybe even get to see ShockWave (there were a few concept renders of him).
And to Jackster…
I recall Prime busting his head open (eyeball popping out) and he got a blade in the neck, so not expecting to see him in the sequel.
…And yes more Megan Fox would NOT be a bad move
huh…??
I never refused to watch it, i knew it was gonna suck anyway with what i read and heard prior to the release… but it’s the transformers, it had to be done (watch the movie, that is…) and the fact that it cost me $15 bucks for admission, i wasn’t gonna walk out half way through the movie, even though it was tempting, but Megan Fox made me stay..
And prime busting his head open and eyeball popping out… that was bonecrusher, not barricade, that got his ass handed to him under the bridge..
W00kie… read jackster’s comment!
He said… “transformers II would be cool if BONECRUSHER returns & Barricade returns”.
I never replied to jacksters comment on “transformers will be cool if bonecrusher & barricade returns”… I replied to his comment on having more longer scenes of cybertron which i agreed..
Seems like the usual Hollywood Sequel Story to me. (Everyone Returns And Fights Again, And the Bad Guys Lose Again.) But, I’ll still watch it.
Yeh… hopefully second time round we can expect more/different characters.
And sounds like StarScream’s gonna come back from Cybertron to conquer Earth (Cybertron V2.0) so I expect he’ll bring an army of new Decepticons with him… not to mention the convergence of the remaining Autobots.
But let’s not forget that they’ve planned 3 movies with the possibility of a 4th !!!
aw nutz… been wishing that the whole series would turn up to be an all out Sci-Fi war movie. HOPE THIS TIME OUR MILITARY gets a royal(REAL) POUNDING like it is supposed to against a “supposedly” advanced race of war machines.Meaning we tried our best but without the autobots we are screwed scenario.
(not that human with a half lit firecraker kills blackout crap again.)
If the next movies become a propaganda of how our military kicks butt(ala independence Day style crap) BS again with the autobots playing third fiddle (yes not second…THIRD FIDDLE), then they surely lost the plot and the autobots might as well be there for decoration.
I agree, I hated it when the military just killed Blackout and Brawl (aka: Devastator). It really bugged the crap outta me. These robots aren’t supposed to die that EASILY! Oh, and in the movie when one of the dudes said: “They can be hurt by our weapons and now they know it.” I’m pretty sure that was Tom Banacheck, but that friggin pissed me off. It totally was a slap in the face for the transformers, it made them look like weaklings against humans. I mean, humans being superior to an advanced alien race just seems… really stupid. And not to mention the transformers are about 20ft taller than them. *smacks head*
Yeah, they’re also made of metal and have kick *** weapons! There’s no way humans could be superior to them!
This is AWSOME. michael bay should make a beast wars movie. i am the biggest fan ever are you going to have megan fox
Beast wars would have looked much better in the style that micheal bay made the g-1 transformers, that organic feel.
I just hope they put jetfire in it does megatron come back. hope it is as good as the 1st one
Well to be honest, that news does sound quite exciting, but it sounds a bit too human. Where has all the classic characters that we all know gone?
If there is going to be new TFs’ Then I think that all the classic ones should come back, I know that some of them have, but it only seems fair that Michael Bay at least gives the old school TF fans a memory of what they saw as a kid. Now I’ve heard that their going to shoot in Philadelphia, and they’re starting shooting in June, so at leats bring Sounwave back. He was the one that basically mad people sit on the edge of their seats. So, please Michael Bay, Bring the old TFs’ back.
soundwave was AWSOME. you should put all of the cool transformers in.that would be pretty cool. also, you should have ironhide change to decepticon like he did in the ORIGINAL transformers.
Yeah, He was pretty awesome, but they should AT LEAST have Primus or Cybertron in it, or Unicron, he was cool:-).
agreed, alas the list of autobots and decepticons seems rather thin.
The old transformers had at least enough numbers from each side each episode to feel a little like a war.
as fro micheal bay being fair to us oldskooler, yeah right..
the moment he made decepticons easy to kill by us humans he inadvertantly made the autobots rather useless..
I hope the next movie has a war movie feel to it and NO NOT US HUMANS patting ourselves on the back saying GHEEE that was easy.
(transformers are about transformers and not a boy and his car!!!! or aour military winning easily agains something that us primitive cannot understand fully)
It is about time the autobots be given the opportunity to prove their worth.
Having a weak enemy sux.. imagine technically advanced beinge being killed by a pea shooter???!!!
ya agreed. megatron was always b.a. the autobots never won in one battle
so what is the point having Autobots if Optimus can’t even put up a good fight with Megs???
Is this a transformers movie or porpaganda to send guys to the gulf??
I thought It was meant to be about “THE TRANSFORMERS” not “THE HUMANS KICK DECEPTICONS, Autobots optional”
did you guys ever think about the minicons whatever happend to them
yeah.. not sure how bay would incorporate “minicons”??
still he’d rpobably make them so weak homans can kill them by just sneezing on them
what would be killer is if they incorporated some of the decepticons that were able to transform into the one mega-decepticon. megan fox was hot but the side little love story has to go….who cares?!?! I do agree about the discussions that the fact that the humans shouldn’t have been able to hurt blackout or skorpinox….what’s the point of the autobots then…did anyone of the auto’s besides Opitmus kill a decepticon? I don’t remember if they did. All I saw was Optimus whoopin’ some ass and then the rest get their’s handed to them! Poor Poor little Jazz…he was just Megatrons bitch. I do say the effects of the movie were cool, the editing was shotty, the looks of the transformers were new, inovative with our times, and really..on that point..why would a super advanced space robot want to be an old f-15 instead of an F-22…I would imagine that the transformers have their own opinions also and one last thing I wish bumblebee hadn’t been a camarro but it’s better than a shitty VW bettle!
you know I posted something a few days ago conerening perhaps why the autobots where cars and decpticons jets.
Remember the cartoon? It was teletraan that gave them their earth forms but even teletraan was damaged. perhaps to teletran it was whatever shape suited and that the transformers being in pieces in the ark, that could explain why the decepticons and autobots had different color body parts and why some autobots became aircraft (mismatched parts next to each other)perhaps teletran tried to make sense in its damaged state which parts match and go with which robot torso and head and what transformation form. in the end was given(powerglide became a jet and is loving it.)If you think about it it makes more sense than just choosing their form because if that was the case wouln’t the auto bots just become whatever vehicle they liked to be on even odds with the decepticons??(eg. optimus becomes a jet togo to to to with megs.)
as the idea with turning advanced robots into eath equivalents has merit, but I say again if you put it in teletran’s perspective (or that satellite that randomly looked for earth forms)it makes perfect sense that the f-15 form was taken from a museum or better yet from out in the desert where spare military aircraft is kept. and there are many f-15 in storage sitting outdoors.(much the same way the autobost form could easily be from a car wrecking yard or truck expo..)
as with bumblebee, wasnt the original bumblebee meant to be a spy not a
WARRIOR? true many of us love the new “gimp head” bumblebee (Wookie mentioned this..have a look at that ball in humblebees mouth)but what was bay’s intention? “action movie” or “homage to trasnformers”? the latter it is not.
a
Bumblebee killed brawl!!!! when megan fox tied him to that to truck, and he got barricade pretty good in the intial fight(what ever happened to him?) but6 he was the only one
oh…and on a side note…the modelesque millitary guys need to go also…the part where the army guy tells “Sam” that he’s a Soldier now was LAME!
again Sam a “Soldier”??? they didn’t even give him a proper gun!
what the heck was he supposed to use to delay megatron? Harsh language?
ya well bumble bee being a camero rocked i think nd go to you tube they are showing the casting of the transformes they have soundwave but not jet fire grr… but megatron is suppose to be stronger nd i think the dinobots will be in it
lol? No, they aren’t.
be careful what you wish for,It may not be to your liking knowing Bay’s habit of “changing” things..
I was talking about them showing the casting on the TFs on youtube.
He’s talking about those fake fan videos, quite stupid.
well i saw the casting thing bot wat ever
No you didn’t, you saw some video a teenager made with pictures of cars.
Hey does anyone think Jazz Is coming back? not trying to be stereotypical, but they only kill the ‘black’ autobot?????!!!!
hahaha, nah man. Poor Jazz is toast. That was sad :[
I wish they could bring in SoundWave, some guy was telling me that little b!tch robot was soundwave because he turned into a boombox… I hope to god not. I want real soundwave complete with badass voice and cassette tape backup. hehehe
