GobotFool Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Whatcha guys think? Me? As long as I get some cool toys out of this movie thats all I care about. Transformers has always been about cool toys for me. I really don't care that much about the story :-p
Agent ONE Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 As long as they get the same guy to do Prime's voice.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 As long as they get the same guy to do Prime's voice. Same here and don`t forget Starscream`s voice actor
combined arms Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 I wonder if they will use the Binaltech/Alternators licenses as the basis for the TFs' car modes?
valk1j Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 As long as they get the same guy to do Prime's voice. Same here and don`t forget Starscream`s voice actor I heard the Starscream voice actor is deceased.

I really don't care that much about the story :-p Ditto. I'm only in it for the toys. TF: the Movie was alright, but everything else I've seen, including the original series, is a lot of butt.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 As long as they get the same guy to do Prime's voice. Same here and don`t forget Starscream`s voice actor I heard the Starscream voice actor is deceased. Yep I just checked it out http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0490383/
Robert S Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 It sure has a lot to live up to. The first Transformers movie rocked! It still hold up today in all aspects. Not sure the current generation can do it. We shall see....
mechatek Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 With the people involved, Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks, I'm sure it'll be a great popcorn flick.
UN Spacy Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 With the people involved, Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks, I'm sure it'll be a great popcorn flick. Agreed. I know what to expect going in there. DECENT. POPCORN. FLICK.
ComicKaze Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) As long as they get the same guy to do Prime's voice. Same here and don`t forget Starscream`s voice actor He's dead. RIP. Same goes for handful of them, including Jazz. Edited April 7, 2005 by ComicKaze
MGREXX Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 It will most likely suck but it just might rock.......but it will most likely be a decent popcorn flick. Now as for a Robotech movie......now that is priceless
Oihan Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I think if they used the Transfomers: The Movie (cartoon) script, and the graphics were insane...I'd definitely see it.
gerwalk25 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 As long as they get the same guy to do Prime's voice. Hell yeah. IMHO, Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime .
JB0 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 ....Why are they doing this again? Because they like seeing grown men cry.
Greyryder Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 The word right now is that Cullen and Welker will most likely be back as the voices of Prime and Megatron. I don't think it's been finalized yet, but that's the way it's leaning. I figure it can't possibly be worse than the marketing run rampant that was the original movie. Me. I'm just hoping to finally get a G1 Prime toy with two good modes.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Hopefully there will be many homages to the old 80s animated movie. If they can aim it a little higher than just kids (and try to get the adult TF toy fans to see it) it should do well. Many people probably have fond memories of the original G1 from when they were a kid even if they didn't like the show that much it was one fo the most popular shows at the time. The animated movie kind of captures that epic feel to the TF universe (ie its like star wars right from the words that start to scroll up the screen) that you didn't feel in the tv series. Prime dies, Megatron sheds his old body, starscream is wasted, there is this holy artifiact insides primes body. Religious symbolism. (massive death-star-like planet that transforms into a giant demon, and light that defeats it) Copy star wars, and the G1 movie and I will see it and hopefully enjoy it. We all know the real reason characters die is so that they can sell more toys hehe I would like there to even be a classic battle with melee beam weapons, the iconic symbol of megatron fighting prime in hand to hand combat that is on the cover of the dvd of the animated movie. Maybe even get vince dicola and some metal band to play the theme music for the decipticons? Remember that scene where starscream wasted all those autobots and that "Instruments of destruction" song plays in the background? I think that was the single most cool part about the movie. It captures who I think starscream is: he has this rocker scream and sarcasm, and unlike soundwave is always trying to plot the death of his own people who get in the way of his ambition. Nope I didn't cry when he died in the movie like I did when prime did, but I did feel a sense of sorrow that one of the cool bad guys is finally gone. None of the other decepticons had quite the same personality as starscream who were all kind of dry. (more like incompetent goons or loyal soldiers without thier own ambition that makes them stand out) And there were many funny moments in the movie and tv series for example when he kicks megatron on the ground and throws him out into space or when unicron asks for starscream (his ghost at least) to give him his eyes back but SS doesn't fill his end of the bargain. I laughed at that. I just think it was funny. Edited April 7, 2005 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
myk Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 As long as 'Prime goes down and STAYS down I'll enjoy every minute of it...
Hoptimus Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 With Michael Bay at the helm I think all my hope for this project went out the window.
bsu legato Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 All I know is that it had better be an adaptation of G1. Otherwise there's no way I'll be seen anywhere near the theater when this opens. I don't have the slightest interest in seeing Minicons, Beasties, or any of that other garbage on-screen.
Zor Primus Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 From what I have heard the TF movie will sorta replay the original animated mini series...a showing of them on Cybertron, and later crash on Earth. Not sure if Spike or Sparkplug are in it but there should be a total of 10-12 Transformers. Divided into 5 or 6 Decepticon and Autobots. Here's my wish List: Decepticons Megatron Starscream Thundercracker Skywarp Soundwave (with Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble) Receptor Autobots Optimus Prime Ironhide Bumblebee Ratchet Wheeljack Prowl

I don't have the slightest interest in seeing Minicons, Beasties, or any of that other garbage on-screen. And it IS an adaptation of G1. A straight up origin story. I was afraid that a live action TF movie would look like ass, but after seeing the Citroen commercial with the breakdancing car/robot, I'm convinced that they actually could make a sweet-looking live action TF movie. Realistic-looking CGI Optimus = kick ass movie, reguardless of plot.

HWR MKII Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 He's dead. RIP. Same goes for handful of them, including Jazz. Scatman is dead. That blows he had the best attitude for jazz. As long as Bay doesnt do his trademark "slowmo shirts or scarves blowing in the wind against a sunset backdrop" then the movie should be ok. Tell the story Bay dont fill it with your crap.

And.... MORE SHOCKWAVE! ... Wouldn't mind seeing Omega Supreme either, but I've always had a thing for overkill...
Zor Primus Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 You gotta have Shockwave and Brawn, too. Shockwave! Damn thats so foolish of me! But hell no to Brawn...I'd rather have Mirage or Bluestreak... I cheered when Brawn got blasted in TF:The Movie!
Blaine23 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 With Michael Bay at the helm I think all my hope for this project went out the window. Usually I react to the idea of Michael Bay as a director with a shuddering, cold sweat, panicked fever, Milkmanx. But this is the Transformers... not Hamlet. Bay shoots fantastic visuals and with a film about robots he won't have to worry about dealing with those pesky actors and their silly "acting"... might be a perfect fit.
Agent ONE Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Hmm, probably won't have unicron if it starts from the begining.
pfunk Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Hmm, probably won't have unicron if it starts from the begining. that sir, would be too good., like independance day on steroids,,, I feel sequels if its done right. thier are too many transformer fans to not make a kick a$$ movie
