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

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..

He was a useless decepticon in the movie anyway, he didn’t do much other then getting his ass kicked time and time again..

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

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..

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 !!!

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.

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?

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???!!!

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”

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..!

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

what the heck was he supposed to use to delay megatron? Harsh language?

He’s talking about those fake fan videos, quite stupid.

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

First hint, “Prime, sticking the cube in your chest is suicide… it COULD destroy you both” (read: it’s not certain to - so, it also wasn’t certain to destroy megatron).

Second hint was the 1 legged decepticon.

Finally (the obvious) was starscream flying off.

They have lots of ways to go.

Now you add in the fact that General Motors was a major advertising partner for the movie and without a large portion of the films budget came from GM Money, would you want to be the one to tell GM that you were gonna use a Porsche and a Volkswagon for two primary character vehicles?

With Jazz, who was originally a porsche, I personally feel that using GM’s Pontiac Solstice was a wize choice seeing as it is GM’s answer to the compact high performance roadsters, once offered only by European car manufacturers. Now along the same lines of thought though, I am curious why GM didn’t subsitute the “Solstice” with the SKY Roadster made by Saturn, a GM company, which is the platform that the Solstice is designed off of in the first place. I think the SKY looks a lot sharper than the Solstice anyday.

One more thought in regards to Era. The movie takes place mainly in the United States and the United States military and government are a large part of the plot. If you recall, Starscream’s original model of jet closely resembled a Russion SU-37 fighter which at the time appeared much more sinister than the jets used by American forces of the same era. Today, there is almost no other jet that looks as menacing as the F-22 Raptor… and not to mention a heck of a lot easier to blend in over US Airpace.

I look forward to seeing the sequel, and I hope that I am not disappointed with it like most other movies’ sequels.
