JB0 Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 As little sense as it makes, I'm glad to see Barricade back. The evil cop car mode still makes me smile. Quote
JB0 Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I didn't think it was possible for Drift to become MORE of a japanophile. But here we are. Quote
Negotiator Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 glad to see these. definitely not going to the theaters for this one. Quote
Tking22 Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 image.jpeg image.jpeg Wait Megatron? I thought he became Galvatron in the last one? So he's back to Megatron now? Any explanation or is the answer just frakk you this is a Michael Bay film? Quote
peter Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I didn't think it was possible for Drift to become MORE of a japanophile. But here we are. Except he's a walking commercial for Benz and AMG Quote
Chewie Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I think Megatron looks dope. /minorityonMW Quote

Any explanation or is the answer just frakk you this is a Michael Bay film?Galvatron was the name the humans gave to their reverse-engineered combat drone based on Megatron. When Megatron's neural imprint took over, the drone became Megatron again. He was never going to accept a name given to him by weak fleshlings, and he has the might to enforce that opinion. Except he's a walking commercial for Benz and AMGOkay, so he could still get more japanese. Actually, that bugged me in the last movie too. I know japanese cars are few and far between, but surely they could've found at least one worth using. Quote
Graham Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Actually, that bugged me in the last movie too.

Well, maybe in the US, dunno haven't been there for years, but certainly not in the rest of the world. Japan is supposedly the world's largest car manufacturer, with six of the world's ten largest car manufacturers being Japanese. Can't walk down the street here without seeing loads of Toyotas Hondas, Nissan etc. Lexus or Infiniti would be a good choice for Drift. Quote

Whatever he is, it has "Type-R" at the end of the name. Quote
areaseven Posted August 12, 2016 Author Posted August 12, 2016 Drift should be an Acura NSX. Even if it's American-made, it's still distinctively Japanese, so it's more fitting for Drift than a Benz or a Bugatti. Quote

Even if it's American-made, it's still distinctively Japanese, so it's more fitting for Drift than a Benz or a Bugatti. If it were up to me, he'd be a Nissan GT-R NISMO N Attack. Galvatron was the name the humans gave to their reverse-engineered combat drone based on Megatron. When Megatron's neural imprint took over, the drone became Megatron again. He was never going to accept a name given to him by weak fleshlings, and he has the might to enforce that opinion. That reminds me, in the supplemental comics and novels for the first movie, Sector 7 was calling Megatron "NBE-1" or "the Iceman." It was suggested that frozen Megatron was still at least somewhat aware of what was going on around him, which was how he had managed to learn English. It was also suggested that he was tired of being called NBE-1 and/or Iceman, which was why the first thing he said upon thawing is, "I am Megatron!" Quote

peter Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Hey, it's sold as a Honda in Japan. That is CLOSE ENOUGH. My first NSX....wayyyyyyyyy back in the day. I grew my hair back and I no longer tuck my shirts in my pants, lol! My second one: Then life happened and I had to sell it. No way I could afford the new one. Still miss that car more than any g/f I've ever had. Anyway, back on topic, Gen 1 had a nice mix of cars from many manufacturers....it's too bad Bayformers is restricted to just a few.

anime52k8 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Barricade really is the Kenny of the transformers films. Quote
JB0 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Bumblebee is second in command... because everyone else died. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) This interpretation would have looked nice for the live-action movies too. Edited August 14, 2016 by sh9000 Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 TBH, an updated megs that's still a gun is kind of stupid. Quote
areaseven Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Michael Bay has been completely against gun Megatron since day one. He compared it to Darth Vader transforming into his own lightsaber Quote
peter Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Michael Bay has been completely against gun Megatron since day one. He compared it to Darth Vader transforming into his own lightsaber And that is one of the reasons Mr. Bay is an @$$hole. Quote
Scyla Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Michael Bay has been completely against gun Megatron since day one. He compared it to Darth Vader transforming into his own lightsaber The question would be if this is better or worse than a Death Star, Tie Fighter or Venator Star Destroyer. Quote
JB0 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Darth Vader turns into the Darksaber, obviously. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 image.jpeg This interpretation would have looked nice for the live-action movies too. now that's a cool looking updated Megatron! I like it. Quote
Negotiator Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 do you guys think tf5 will continue to make a billion $? I'm going to guess no, imo. Quote
areaseven Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 do you guys think tf5 will continue to make a billion $? I'm going to guess no, imo. Even with all the negative press from AOE, the Chinese market will still completely eat it up, so yeah - it'll make a billion. Quote
Negotiator Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Even with all the negative press from AOE, the Chinese market will still completely eat it up, so yeah - it'll make a billion. are they shooting in china again? Quote
areaseven Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 are they shooting in china again? Whether or not they're shooting in China, the film will still be a hit in that country. Besides, AOE did very little shooting in China other than some location shots in Hong Kong; all the Hong Kong action scenes were actually shot in Detroit and Chicago. Hell, they forgot to erase the Sears Tower in one scene. Quote
