port Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Being 36 this is not my TF. BUT! This is going to be.... i'm going to wet myself when I see this flick.
LL Cool VF1J Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Nice transformation sequences. Too bad Starscream's robot mode doesn't look that great. The original G1 transformation sound thrown in when Optimus transforms didn't sound like it fit in that well. It was kind of funny when the guy says, "Must be Japanese." I've seen better Japanese designs for robots. Imagine if the humans in the movie made large robots to make a fight against the Decepticons. They'd probably look more solid, armored, and better looking with no exposed inner parts. Yeah, I have to agree, the original G1 sound effect did not really match to smoothly. As much as I dislike starscreams bot mode, he seem like he will be a major character in the movie. Starscream is a beast. I cant wait to see how megatrons character plays out. When I see megatron, the song rammstein starts playing in my head.
grss1982 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) The Blackout transformation sequence reminded me a lot of Roy Rokker in the VF-0S. You know the episode where after he transformed to Battroid mode he picked up a boulder and used it as a decoy against Ivanov. Oh yeah, Starscream backflipping then transforming into a Raptor FTW!!! I sooooo get it now, why the original G1 transformation sounds would not sound right if used in the movie. Edited May 18, 2007 by grss1982
LL Cool VF1J Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) the more I see images of this movie the more excited I get. I hope this movie turns out just as good as robot jox. Edited May 18, 2007 by LL Cool VF1J
pfunk Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 cant wait, cant wait. the action seems very intense and fast,, borderline tooo fast
chrono Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Well I'm vastly more interested in seeing those designs move and transform than a bunch of boxy stuff an amateur 3D animator could pull off. 99% of the time, the 1% is all-a-rounders, Professional Animators have nothing to do with the designs nor how they transform. They are little more than techs. under the direction of the director or lead. Clearly you don't have any idea of how it works in the 3D industry nor the hobbyist arena, so just shut the fart up. sh002, EXCELLENT point! And thanks for pointing out what's been bugging me about the designs.
big F Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 nice to get that trailer in Hi def. I so love Quicktime pro, downloaded and saved on my media center.
Chewie Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 nice to get that trailer in Hi def. I so love Quicktime pro, downloaded and saved on my media center. Amen to that.
Effect Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) I haven't been this excited to see a movie in a long, long, loonnnggggg time! Maybe it's the fact that I grew up watching Transformers and have enjoyed the latest versions (more so the comics then the latest cartoons) as much as I can or that the new trailer is what I really needed to see to get me ready for this film but I can't wait to see this. I agree the transforming sound didn't seem to sit well but you know what, I'm willing to forgive that since I want to hear it and was hoping they add it. Edited May 18, 2007 by Effect
CoryHolmes Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I'm sold. When can i buy my ticket? Never. Everyone else but you gets to see it.

David Hingtgen Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Went to see Shrek, but didn't get the trailer.
grss1982 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Went to see Shrek, but didn't get the trailer. That's just lame. Considering that a friend of mine watched Shrek AND saw the TF trailer. The starting sequence though of the trailer was kinda misleading. I thought I was watching some father-son type drama or something.
Guest sh002 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Will these movie Transformers even have laser weapons?
Hikuro Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 well, the proper word is "Plasma" so in essence, yes they'll have a mixed variety of weapons, missiles, plasma weapons, rail guns, etc etc.
Guest sh002 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I meant laser weapons. Aren't they different? I looked it up.
Twoducks Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Delicious eye candy. The only "secret" left now is non-protoform Megatron (or did that get canned?) 99% of the time, the 1% is all-a-rounders, Professional Animators have nothing to do with the designs nor how they transform. They are little more than techs. under the direction of the director or lead. Clearly you don't have any idea of how it works in the 3D industry nor the hobbyist arena, so just shut the fart up. sh002, EXCELLENT point! And thanks for pointing out what's been bugging me about the designs. Careful there, with posts like these you’ll end up drowning on your own venom one of these days.
Fit For Natalie Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) I don't think Megatron was ever meant to have an Earth mode, since he's frozen/imprisoned, later breaks out and goes on a rampage during the climax. well, the proper word is "Plasma" so in essence, yes they'll have a mixed variety of weapons, missiles, plasma weapons, rail guns, etc etc. Megatron seems to have some kind of super cannon thingy fashioned out of both his arms joining together. I recall the 25 minute preview reports said Blackout fired lasers during the military base attack. Edited May 20, 2007 by Fit For Natalie
CoryHolmes Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 If you see a bright beam with a *fffft!* sound, then it's not a laser. Lasers are invisible and soundless.
big F Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Death beam, Laser beam, Plasma beam, to the uneducated they are one in the same. Im sure that even if we are told (in the film ) that they are Plasma, the majority of people watching will still refer to them as Lasers. Its just that Lasers have been engrained in the Sci Fi world for so long now that everyone has to have one.
Max Jenius Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 *waits patiently to see if he gets to say "I told you so."*
Renato Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 This just in: Steve Jablonbsky is doing the music score, and apparently they are using taiko drums! http://www.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=235 I'm pleased to hear this, Jablonsky did the music for Steamboy, and I liked that. In fact, out of sheer coincidence this morning I was watching the interview with him on the DVD as I had my breakfast.
CoryHolmes Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 *waits patiently to see if he gets to say "I told you so."* Why wait? Just do it anyway and enjoy yourself in the process
Fit For Natalie Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Clip of Prime fighting Bonecrusher on the freeway, as seen on the MTV 'awards' (and I use the latter term loosely). Its a more complete scene of the often-seen trailer segment where Bonecrusher smashes the bus and tackles Prime, but this time shows what happens before and immediately afterwards. Okay quality on Youtube File download for better visual quality clip

areaseven Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Judging by the poll, the overall prediction is either the movie will suck or just be a decent popcorn flick. So who in here will spend the 4th of July at the theatres watching this film?

Golden Arms Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I'LL probably try to catch a midnite showing. I'm actually pumped to see this movie.
Max Jenius Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Why wait? Just do it anyway and enjoy yourself in the process Well I can't say it until I'm satisfied it's as awesome as I think it is. Gonna go see it ASAP. Edited June 5, 2007 by Max Jenius

So who in here will spend the 4th of July at the theatres watching this film? The poll itself has a significantly flawed (unless we're able to change our votes) because this thread started a very long time ago, and most of the people who voted (good, bad, okay) did not see a SINGLE FRAME of film or animation. I think its time for a new poll given a fair number (of course, not all) people have either been suitably impressed and changed their minds in light of actual footage of the TFs actually doing stuff.

Yeah I honestly don't remember how I voted, though I think my vote was a lot less judgemental and more optimistic. Especially in the last few weeks and months, I've been really psyched to see this movie.
