Tranformers *new trailer out*

[ffl]

http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/transformers/

That movie... will rock.

That trailer has REALLY got me looking forward to this movie moreso than I was before.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

If the movie winds up no good, at least there will be a kickass transforming helicopter toy

Which what they are making this movie for I'll bet, to sell toys. Thats what the show was for from the beginning, why should this movie be different

[LOSTyears]

:w00t: Optimus ****ing Prime. YES!
Wether its good or bad, at least it looks good.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Starscream FTW!

[seba_boi]

Next year's Catwoman (considering it has the same writer)...

[GreatNekoKoneko]

Next year's Catwoman (considering it has the same writer)...

...this is what i fear. sure, its all eye-candy, but what about the story? or the dialogue, for that matter.

but man. Starscream.

[Undrave]

At least it has Cullen as Prime... a REAL voice actor and not a celebrity voice.

I'm pissed they don't use the classic transformation sound.

Looks good even if I still hate the designs XD

[ffl]

The designs make sense. Even if the story turns out to be less than stellar, the effects should make up for it. Although if both are good, it'll be a win-win situation.

[Sendo Takeshi]

The designs are still a$$. Starscream = loss in this movie.

[Defiled one]

Kick *** graphics....that is undeniable...lets see if they didnt butchered the story to much...oh wait they proabably did...How I wished to see mecha again...

[Undrave]

the designs are too complex for my taste. We see too much of the transformer's innard...like you peeled the skin off a human to see the bones and muscles.

My aesthetic sense prefer simplier, cleaner lines.

[Defiled one]

I will judge it when I see the movie...trailer aint much of a shower...

[Leader Desslock]

I personally didn't like the trailer - too many quick cuts to see anything meaningful. I wasn't "teased" by it, I was annoyed.

Prime looks good, and I've seen pics of Bumblebee in humanoid form, who also looks good. I'm guessing that the emphasis on their camoflaged forms will be on accuracy to the form being mimicked, so I think that aspect will be okay. What I've seen of Megatron's humanoid form looks more like an H.R. Giger design than anything else, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief until I see it. I'm glad Starcream's in the picture, though.

I dunno, the more info I see, the more this looks like a rental. Maybe once they get a better trailer up, I'll want to see it on the big screen.

[Undrave]

Watch it a few times to really see better... I want to see a full transformation though. I agree some quick cuts were annoying. I hope we get one with more dialogue too.

That scorponok still looks terrible. Just like a freakish piece of living junk really... at least Ratchet look like a HUMANOID pile or living scrap metal. --

[Dr. Ezra]

I personally didn't like the trailer - too many quick cuts to see anything meaningful.

I agree. I didn't get the chance to really absorb it.

[Hara!]

Genuine laugh riot. This is the first WTF trailer I've seen in years.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

My two cents:

-Blackout (helicopter) just looks awesome tearing up that army base
-I have no idea what to make of Scorponok, seriously
-I like how Starscream's an F-22 Raptor in the movie, but they still couldn't have made him red?
-Apparently Spike likes the Strokes :lol:
-Why does Ratchet look like EVA-02?
-It's too bad the people had VW had to suck and make it so Bumblebee can no longer become a bug (not even in the toys!)
-I still really hope they cast Frank Welker to play Megatron

Anything concerning my favorite character, Optimus Prime:
-I couldn't be happier to see him being played by Peter Cullen (which, IMO, makes him a more authentic Prime than any of the others in the past decade or so)
-Why no trailer? :huh:
-My favorite design so far
-Who cares about anything at all? He's OPTIMUS ****ING PRIME!!!! :w00t:

[Defiled one]

eva unit 2? where?

[Undrave]

They still could have choose a better vehicle than a frickin' Camaro for Bumblebee.

How about a Civic? It's small and teenager-friendly.

What type of car is Classic Bumblebee? That fits well.

[SousukeSagara]

i agree about the too many shot cuts of footage, its a ****ing montage lol

i hope it doesnt suck, but seeing good ol optimus and knowing he has cullen as his voice, puts me at ease :P

[MonkeyBoy0314]

What type of car is Classic Bumblebee? That fits well.
A yellow Volkswagon Beetle. Unfortunately VW filed a complaint to Hasbro saying that they don't want their cars to be depicted as "war machines", so Bumblebee can never again be allowed to look like a VW Bug again (the exact reason he was called Bumblebee in the first place)

[Bernard_Monsha]

My two cents:


-I like how Starscream's an F-22 Raptor in the movie, but they still couldn't have made him red?




Starscream was a white F-15 Thrust was a red jet. The original seekers were:

Starscream: White
Thundercracker: Blue
Skywarp: Black

In the 2nd series they added
Thrust: Red
Ramjet: White
Dirge: Blue

[Sendo Takeshi]

Not enough in the trailer to equate goodness. So far, the movie still stinks of fail. A couple of things blow up and thats it. We got more Tyrese in that trailer than we got Autobots.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Starscream was a white F-15 Thrust was a red jet.
Okay, he may have had less red than Thrust, but in my mind he is still "the red one" of the Seekers

[Undrave]

In my mind he's the 'cowardly traitor' .

Cybertron Starscream>>> All other Starscreams before him.

[Captain Jack]

There's only ONE Transformers movie, and it had Judd Nelson, Robert Stack, Leonard Nemoy, and Orson Wells.

PS: This new movie is the spawn of he whom we call the Desolate One, the First of The Fallen, Spoiler of Virgins, the MASTER of Abortions!

LET ME HELP YOU OUT OF YOUR CHAIR GRANDMA!

[Daishikaze]

There's only ONE Transformers movie, and it had Judd Nelson, Richard Stack, Leonard Nemoy, and Orson Wells.

*whisper* Psst, Robert Stack *whisper* ;)


Anyway, I agree. I also think the movie was the best moment in the franchise really, it was a long way from the long Toy Commercial the tv series was.

After 2 decades, i just found out why they kill Optimus Prime and replaced Megatron with Galvatron in the movie.

They had to kill Optimus Prime cause he's just voiced by a no name hollywood actor?? :mad:

[Daishikaze]

You gotta admit, the Prime death scene was very poignant.

[Spike]

I liked the trailer it was cool the helicopter transforming and stuff also got a look at Optimus was pretty good too. Now I have more faith in the movie since I've seen this trailer but before I had no faith at all but this has brought some faith back to the movie.

[ryushe]

That's it?

I personally didn't like the trailer - too many quick cuts to see anything meaningful. I wasn't "teased" by it, I was annoyed.

Thank you

I don't know where you all got Starscream from, I only seen a split second of a plane transforming. Honestly, I don't understand why you all like the trailer, I didn't see anything (Long enough) that I should be excited about. That being said, I'm still looking forward to the movie.

Now excuse me, I'm gonna watch a real trailer *Loads up Spider man 3 trailer*.

Edit: Do we have a conformation on the transforming sound? You all know what sound I'm talking about ^_^

[Bernard_Monsha]

In my mind he's the 'cowardly traitor' .

Cybertron Starscream>>> All other Starscreams before him.

No Generation 1 Starscream is the best character in the entire line. End of story.


Micheal Bay, takeing a hint from Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy has filmed the sequel! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs-jMaZItqA)

[Leader Desslock]

I don't know where you all got Starscream from...
I got it from watching a production crew discussion of the film being made. They mentioned Starscream would be in the film.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

It really does need more sound wave though.

I gurantee though, I will be buying each and every one of those toys, especially blackout. I will be 100% guranteed to be the coolest kid on the playground with that.

[seba_boi]

...this is what i fear. sure, its all eye-candy, but what about the story? or the dialogue, for that matter.

but man. Starscream.Dialogue would probably be on par with Fantastic Four's Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), "No, let's"... *shudders*

Starscream this, Starscream that.... They totally left out Soundwave... But then again, cassette tapes are obsolete and he'd probably be an mp3 player...:P

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Uhh...that's not why they killed him off...

In the 20th Anniversary DVD commentary about it, they talk about how at the time they thought Transformers was merely a "toy show", and they thought that by killing off all of the original characters and introducing new ones, they would be able to come out with a new toy line. Since the people behind it got so many complaints from kids and parents alike, thy decided that they had no choice but to bring Optimus Prime back in the 3rd season. Good call.

[Daishikaze]

Transformers was a Toy Show for the most part.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Starscream this, Starscream that.... They totally left out Soundwave... But then again, cassette tapes are obsolete and he'd probably be an mp3 player...:P

I bet he'd get sued by the RIAA.

Or they'd go the easy router and just make him have a SONIC BOOM move.

[Undrave]

Cybertron Starscream trapped Megatron in a bubble force field that could only be broken once he and Scourge worked together while Starscream was taking on THE ENTIRE AUTOBOT TEAM and still got away with the Omega Lock. That's a lot more than what G1 Starscream ever did. He kept his crown longer too.

And for your information, Dinobot is the best TF character ever. Code of Hero FTW!

I'd want Soundwave to be a stealth bomber like Cybertron Soundwave... I think it's a fitting look.

You know I noticed there is three general reaction to this movie:

1)"ACK! This is horrible! THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE G1! Michael Bay is RAPING MY CHILDHOOD! KILL HOLLYWOOD!"

2) "Bleh I don't like the designs, too many details for no reason/too ugly/too monstrous/too Hollywood, but I'll still go see the movie nonetheless."

3) "This is frickin AWESOME! I'll go see the movie! If you don't like the designs you're just a bunch of elitist G1 fanboys!"

I fit in '2'.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I like the designs, except Optimus, the flames make him look way too tricked out

[Undrave]

Yeah what'S up with that? He's supposed to be serious, not the latest guest of 'Pimp mah Autobot' or something.

[Leader Desslock]

I always liked Grimlock. He reminds me of Detritus from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Not real quick on the uptake, but a force to be reckoned with once he gets an idea stuck in his head.

***************Warning geek fight follow************************


You mean the Starscream who created the most powerful gestalt outside Predaking, the Starscream who who through cunning defeated from the most powerful autobot and decepticon and then screwed over Unicron? The bearer of the immortal spark that cannot be extinguished? Why gosh darn he never thought to trap the G1 Megatron in a force field, why if only Trailbreaker knew the Cybertronian civil war would not have dragged on for millions of years. I do not watch the new transformer cartoons outside of Beast Wars, because they blow.

One of the funnier things about Grimlock is he speaks in broken English in the comic but is the third in command behind Optimus and Ultra Magnus. He is more of a flinty old veteren and actually led all the autobots through several story arcs and developed a psychopathic hatred of Bumblebee. He even sent out kill teams to hunt down and execute him.

Lol.:lol: I remember that from the comics too. It was quite funny that Grimlock became the leader. I'm guessing it was because of popularity that he was given that position, plus he's quite the Autobot for anyone to contend with.:P

The tension between Grimlock and Bumblebee was always pretty funny too. Grimlock, the HUGE guy, would just push his weight around and paid Bumblebee, the relatively little guy, no respect. It was interesting how Bumblebee went around gathering help from Autobots who felt the same way about Grimlock's leadership and then all of the battles that occurred during all of that. My collection of that is really incomplete though. Those were just issues that I picked up about a decade ago from dollar bins and used book stores. Maybe I'll feel inclined to look for the entire collection sometime on eBay or other places... or maybe Marvel will release them in an anthology if they haven't already.

Anyway, yeah, the movie looks cool.:)

Put me in a combnation of 1 and 2. I've only been able to get into G1 Transformers, but I still plan on seeing the film. Who knows, I might actually enjoy it once I really experience it.

Oh, and more than it needs some Soundwave, there needs to be more Stan Bush.

[Ikari Warrior]

I liked how the vehicles blend in more. They're surrounding the transformers with other vehicles of the same kind. If they use that to their advantage, they can create quite a bit of suspense, for example: the landing strip where there were a bunch of jets. You wouldn't know which one was starscream until you were in the fray, and he transformed on top of you.

What I don't like is that this movie has the writer of Catwoman, and the director of The Island (or is he producing, I can never remember). This movie has a lot of fail potential, but I'm hopeful. I'm going to wait on reviews before I spend my $8 on this.

[seba_boi]

Another trailer is also wanting attention:

Michael Bay is directing, Spielberg is the producer.

Hopefully the writer will understand that it's not ALL about the humans but it's also about the Transformers and give them actual personality.

They announced the winning line for the 'Make Prime Speak' contest:

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

If you load the trailer on the official site ( http://www.transformersmovie.com/main.html ) you can hear Cullen say it at the end of the trailer when the 'Transformers' logo shows up.

Altough I didn't know that was how to pronounce 'sentient'... maybe it's an American thing? I always pronounced it with the first 't' being like the last 't' in 'attention' since it's after a 'n' and all... guess I was wrong??

I heard it was supposed to be "DO A BARREL ROLL", but they changed it.

[ffl]

"Do a barrel roll," would've made absolutely no sense in that context.

Wouldn't stop it from being any less awesome.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

"Do a barrel roll," would've made absolutely no sense in that context.

It was related to a submitted YTMND where it shows Optimus (in semitruck form) is rolling down a mountain after an explosion in episode 2

[ffl]

Oh, okay. That bit of background makes sense now.
