Megatron was given a less humanoid face, which was to make him more menacing,and his alternate mode was changed from a Walther P38 as the writers felt, "It’s like Darth Vader turning into his own lightsaber and having someone else swing him around."

But that's the goddamn point. God, I hate this movie.

likewise, recently leaked concept art proves that one of Megatron's arms does indeed turn into a cannon, helping keep some semblance to his original G1 for

It's going to suck. And it's basically the last untouched happy thoughts from my childhood, besides Smurfs of course.

"Next, Michael Bay will tackle He-Man, scheduled for a 2008 release."

I hope I never see that. This thread is now about the Speed Racer movie.

Yeah i know.

But in the cartoon Megatron was bigger than most Deceptions robot form. Once transformed, he was the size of a handgun (transformer scale not human).

This would have not translated well into the movie since they decided to keep the size proportions in both forms.

However, they could have made Megatron transform into a huge 25 foot shoulder mounted rail gun. That could have worked.

But in the end, we’re not the ones calling the shots.

EXACTLY WTF?!?!?!?!?

The movie might be good, but it wont deserve to have the name "Transformers" on it. You want to make a robot movie...fine by me. But unless your going to do it RIGHT...leave my cartoons alone.
>> Nocturna
This film as alot of potential and I can’t wait to see it.

I understand the fact that they had to make some changes.

IE: They changed Bumblebee’s car form from a Volks Beetle to a Camaro to avoid comparisons with Herbie the Love Bug.

I completely understand the reason why they did it, but as a guy who grew up listening to the cartoon (first serie), I find it weird to see a big yellow Camaro in the movie trailer.

But it won’t prevent me from enjoying the movie.

It'll suck because for a TRANSFORMERS movie, all the main characters are HUMAN. The focus isn't on the Transformers, it's on lame people. With a love story. and laaaaaaaame.

It's like why Alien VS Predator failed, they based the main characters around the humans, not on the aliens.

At least with Michael Bay at the helm you can guarantee alot of shit will blow up in Transformers

I think the big yellow Camaro is actually Hotshot, not bumblebee, it seems like Michael Bay used more recent iterations of the Transformers series for the movie..

Also, if it IS actually bumblebee, the reason they couldn't use the Volks Beetle wasn't because of a relation to Herbie the Love Bug, it was because Volkswagon wouldn't give them the right to use the beetle in the movie. (I dunno why..)

Or because all the autobots are GM cars in case you didn't notice.

It is bumblebee. And Optimus Prime is no longer a Mac truck, he's a kenmore. That means he's got that big truck nose with the engine in front, instead of the flat grill that becomes his chest. Also, Megatron looks like some kind of cliche action movie bio-mech-ninja suit thing. It's hideous.

And I will echo what others have said. I've also heard that yes, the film has more people in it than transformers. The transformers are barely characters and the plot revolves around people. It's like that Godzilla movie that came out in 2000, in that it didn't really star Godzilla, and Godzilla wasn't Godzilla.

It might have some cool special effects, but, it won't be anything like the transformers you remember from when you were a kid. It's just transforming robots that look like animatronic apes. But on the bright side, I heard the original voice talent for Prime and Megatron are going to be in the video game, so, maybe they're in the movie too. If the transformers have any lines that is, they may be too busy smashing stuff to create drama for the human love story.

Michael Bay directed The Island. That movie's ending fucking sucked.

Peter Cullen (Optimus) will be in both the video game and movie, but Megatron in the movie is voiced by Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith - The Matrix) while Frank Welker (Original Megatron) is the voice in the Video game.

Work that one out.

Seen the movie but remember almost nothing about it. Not even the ending. CAN YOU SAY GENERIC?

Yes i did know that.

The other Autobots also became GM-owned vehicle lines, as part of a tie-in deal.

i read an interview with one of the producers, he pushed very hard to get peter to voice prime, the everyone else including bay wanted hollywood actors to be the robots, but said producer made alot of enemies to get peter.

Of all the Gen 2 primes:
The first was a re-release of Gen 1 with new acc's.
Then you have Hero, a longnose flatbed with a missle on the bed. No flames either.
Lazer Prime is the best, another longnose cab, and a nice red-black fade on the cab, but no flames.

Still though, It's like prime's tearing ass around the yard while standing still...

Peterbilt, not a Kenmore (something about Spielberg made some movie back in the early 70s about a murderous truck which was also a Peterbilt).

>>537903
It was Hasbro saying they wouldn't make any toy resemble a gun (current anti-war political posturing).

>>537915
Early reviews have all been very positive. Plus, I hear it's near to 3 hours long, 2 and a half of that is stuff blowing up.
