The old transformations made a bit more sense, mechanically; with their bodies retaining most of its surfaces, it actually looked structurally-sound and as if it could survive a few bashes.

Nowadays everything flies everywhere else just to make Optimus Prime turn into a cab over or whatever kind of truck it is now. Looks brittle. Looks like dirt can clog everywhere.

WTF, the old transformations did NOT make sense at all.

made sense by being structurally sound dumbass now they just change into what they want

I think Megatron's old transformation completely blows this assertion outta the water.

Thanks about it: Robot, say about 30 feet tall, transforms into a gun that can handled by other robots of a similar size.

80's transformations were more simple and did not focus on realism. Just enough to make the toys work.

2007 tranformations try to retain as much realism as possible. Conservation of mass, density, and matter.

Both have their strong points.

I don't know...I found it hard to believe Frenzy's head could turn into a cell phone....

Yeah. I'll admit, that was the only transformation that did not make sense to me. But Frenzy was mostly empty space.

If you ask me, the toys themselves are the best possible transformations, out of all iterations.

True, but there wasn't 1 transformation that didn't look cool, and that's what this movie is all about.. cool shit :P

if you start to get technical with the details (especially when it comes to comparisons with the generation 1 and generation 2 series) of the 2007 movie, you find massive failure at every turn.

The thing about the original transformers is, they were too boxy. There is no way they could've moved the way the did.

this is true, but the movie did the same thing with all of them -- the actual car parts shrunk to tiny sizes and the mechanical parts/guns/swords grew large with some minor exceptions like the rotary blades on blackout. either way they're still shrinking the crap out of stuff and totally deforming them; but who cares, none of it is feasible with current or future technology.

Too many duplicate frames. I fix.

What? It's easily plausible...just not the whole "SHRINKAN METEL" thing from the movie. The transformations on the old show, weapon mutations aside, were easily done and today could be done, though obviously it wouldn't be useful or advantageous in any way.

Where the fuck his trailer Houdini from!?

And he looks really plain now compared to the movie.

the metal dosnt shrink, when they transform into robots, it's the scale of the robots that makes you think it does.

the metal shifts and TRANSFORMS, them being giant metal aliens who adapt to our current mechanical and technological... technology gives it a little leanway, they're advanced beings.
