big F Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.... http://www.harbx.com/archives/2006/12/barricade_early.html Not a bad render I just wish they could have faces you could actually recognise. I mean just take a look at everything from G1 onwards they all have faces you can say oh thats .... etc. The transformation looks fairly Binatlech so may be the toy wil be as good as a Binaltech, hopefully too in the same scale.

Actually that wasn't so horrible. The face is a bit harsh but its not bad. the toy verisions of these... I'll definately be passing on them.
anime52k8 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 I've been looking at the barricade render for 15 minutes now, and I still can't figure out how THAT is saposed to be a mustang.
Chaos Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 I've been looking at the barricade render for 15 minutes now, and I still can't figure out how THAT is saposed to be a mustang. You're not alone. All the Live action models are like that. Have you guys seen the Scorponok off TFW2005? It's pretty nasty. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=116900
Excillon Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Personally, I think that Prime would be the only figure I'd even consider buying at this point, and maybe then only when he hits the clearance shelf.
sabretooth Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 dude that looks exactly like the mcdonalds toy i got years ago i do concept work and i also do some mech design (it's ok i'm pro) and seriously this is flat out insulting. this has seriously ruined my month. it is just terrible how bad these things look. i cannot begin to show my utter lack of faith in the whole failed abortion that the new movie is starting to look like... god i feel ill.
wolfx Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Curious about what scorponok really is though, with the "rescue" signs and all. Maybe its a military "prototype" robot that gets "possessed" by a decepticon spark or something.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 I would gladly give Mr. Bay "my G1 Megatron" so he can figure out what to do

Maybe its a military "prototype" robot that gets "possessed" by a decepticon spark or something. The only thing I can make of it is maybe a tunnel boring machine or a deep sea research robot vessel?...
Max Jenius Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) I don't mind the designs. Except the tank. Still, all that matters to me is that they kick ass in motion. Also, I'd be somewhat let down to see the same old designs. I mean... I grew up with them, let's see something fresh that maintains the spirit of the originals. I think it has potential. I like the almost organic look of the robot modes and look forward to seeing the Transformations. I wonder if there will be a variation of the *transform* sound featured. You never know, maybe they'll incorporate nods to the original series like perhaps Megatron scoffing at a mere human firing his familiar gun mode at him. I'm going to stay positive on this one, I can't wait to see what they come up with. If it sucks, well.. I won't buy it. Edited December 8, 2006 by Max Jenius

Maybe its a military "prototype" robot that gets "possessed" by a decepticon spark or something. He is attached to Blackout (who is a helicopter). That's why he has the no step and rescue signs.
azrael Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Teaser trailer 2: Dec. 20th, 2006 http://www.canmag.com/news/4/3/6067
UN Spacy Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 NEW TRAILER UP! http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/transformers/ Go to trailer. NOT the full screen one.
Chewie Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Ok. I don't care what anyone says anymore. I don't care what they look like. THAT WAS AWESOME.
bsu legato Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 This trailer looks like "Michael Bay meets Independance Day." I think I'll pass.
eugimon Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 well, looks promising. The TF's definitely look and feel alien and pretty darn imposing.
baronv Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 WHile I like the TF a lot, this trailer didn't wow me at all. Looked like standard scf-fi with robots to me. Hedck the trailer for TF: The movie cartoon was better.
Fit For Natalie Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 WHile I like the TF a lot, this trailer didn't wow me at all. Looked like standard scf-fi with robots to me. Hedck the trailer for TF: The movie cartoon was better. The original TF movie trailer did pretty much explain the plot and show Unicron's transformation for no apparent reason.
Keith Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Aside from all of the obnoxious noise, it seems they're playing up the "alien" aspect up a bit more than the transforming robot aspect. But it may just be the way the trailer was cut...
sabretooth Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 all i could think of when i say this was.... they all are moving and looking kinda like cain from robocop 2. still not all that concerned with seeing it
chrono Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Looks no more impressive then the mechcanicals in the movie Virus did.
Jolly Rogers Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 The bots look and feel way too ID4 to me. Some of the CGI, while not totally fake-looking, still appear too generic-looking. I was hoping they'd raise the ante on photorealism more.
Macross73 Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 WTF! i thought i was watching the Bionicals
big F Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 WTF! i thought i was watching the Bionicals lol
Macross73 Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 seriously though , I thought the scene with the exploding cars was very much like X-men 3 when they're in the danger room and i just wasnt that impressed with the scenes of the "autobots" . If the movie still follows the leaked scripts and screen time is mostly of the humans then i guess I just watched ALL the Cool scenes of the robots. Big Explosions wont carry a movie for long.
anime52k8 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 OK, right... that was very... umm... shure. there were several shots of F-22's in there, anyone think that was starscream? oh, and the scene with incinerator was pretty cool.
eugimon Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 seriously though , I thought the scene with the exploding cars was very much like X-men 3 when they're in the danger room and i just wasnt that impressed with the scenes of the "autobots" .

Big Explosions wont carry a movie for long. really? I haven't read the leaked script, so I honestly don't know.. but it'll be a sad movie if the autobots and decepticons don't even interact!
wolfx Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 From the trailer it certainly looked as if the autobots and decepticons are just side props for the movie. Its more about the humies trying to help them or use them as weapons.
promethuem5 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Stupid humans.... taking the thunder away from the Bionical-Bay-formers in their own movie!!!
