Being a child of the 80's, and a transformers collector, this is very exciting!

Unfortunately it's being directed by Michael Bay - the man responsible for such craptacular films as Armaggedon and Pearl Harbor.
I'm in a dilemma. I love transformers, but can't stand Michael Bay!

And a transformers movie will be good because? do u think it will matter who directs a film for 7 year old boys?

Moose: body by Pillsbury[tm], brains by Mattel[tm].
Doodler, I'm with you. I still have a few of my old collection. (Somewhere.) I also want this movie, only done well.

As if we need yet another "Let's see how many kids we can get addicted to this junk" movie.

The evil robots had this device that they could point at coal, oil, diamonds, etc. and turn them into energy cubes. So why didn't they just like use it on people? I mean carbon is carbon, isnt' it?
And will the new movie be ecologically sensitive? Will the robots transform into hybrid cars? (I hope so, that way they might turn less of us into energy cubes.) |

Optimus didn't look particularly streamlined in that clip. I am also not sure how comfortable I am with optimus being white and not red, but that may be temporary.
I am seeing this movie, whether it is good or not. There are certain movies I am simply obliged to see whether they are actually worth seeing or not. This is one of those movies.

I was never really a Transformers fan, and I'm even less of a Michael Bay fan, so I don't know whether I'll be seeing it; however that FX test was surprisingly realistic, and makes me think they might be going for a less hokey tone than those (I'm sorry) silly cartoons.
To be honest, I never got the idea behind the Transformers. I mean, so they're aliens from the planet Cybertron. OK, then who built them? And why would they change? Surely it would be more efficient to have one form capable of performing both body and vehicle actions simultaneously?

Vehicles have their uses in transportation, but are ill suited to other tasks. Wouldn't it be spiffy if, instead of having to own a car and find a parking space for it every day, we could simply turn into some form better suited to rapid transportation, then transform back to our original shape when we'd completed our commute?

The ship decided to alter their vehicle transformation forms to stuff it found by scanning, as you say, to allow the transformers to blend in with the locals. And you're right about the computer not disginguishing between the autobots or decepticons. Man, every time I think about it, I'm a bit more stoked for this movie.

And to be nitpicky: That "ship" is called "Ark" and that "Toyota Van" must have been Ironhide. The über-Aliens are the Quintessons and the über-Transformer was Unicron. /geek

Unicron? Wasn't that Orson Welles? Man that guy fell hard.

There is at least as many origin storied for the transformers as there are incarnations of the original tv show.
Instead of complaining that something is stupid when your failing memory or lack of knowledge means you dont know anything about it, you could research it. Google provides a wealth of information, or specifically you could try wikipedia. I for one am looking forward to this movie and hope it will be as truthful and consistant with G1 as possible. I dont want it to be based of the awefull japanese transformers that exist today, like the computer game that came out recently. |
