, counting down to the trailer, I presume. More than any other movie, ever, I want this one to be good. I'd do anything. Yet the odds are so stacked against it. It is directed by Michael Bay, and among the actors in the movie are Tyrese, Bernie Mac, and probably some other people that are not good. I liked ''The Rock'' though. I dunno. If it captures the spirit of G1 Transformers, it could be so super. If they bring back people like Peter Cullen (Optimus) and Frank Welker (Megatron), what a feather in the movie's cap that would be. It's probably going to have a ''sweeping Hollywood score'' and be peppered with nu-metal and commercial hip-hop, but if it somehow referenced Vince DiCola's virtuosic music, that would be super. Maybe the Aphex Twins will do the main theme I'm glad it's live action/CGI, anyway. Dangerous, but I'm very interested regardless of if its a gem or a train wreck. Lastly, I hope the movie is extremely aware of how campy the whole concept is. Lastly I REALLY hope Soundwave is in it, and as the classic boom-box, not an iPod or something. |

no, you're screwed. soundwave *is* an ipod (or something similar) and one of them is an xbox. i am not joking. |

More than any other movie, ever, I want this one to be good. Yeah, imagine them fucking with the concept of an agrandised advert for toys. That'd be like, woooah, where's my Soft Machine? |
||||||||

|

That's what I thought but am too tired to express. Wasn't 'transformers' the first to pay for the cartoons to be aired with daft adverts in one deal? Was it Bandai? I need some sleep. |

He-Man I think was up there, certainly. |

My mates litle brother was obsessed with Transformers and I remember reading about some deal they did that was like a BOC style recruitment thing! hee hee |

la la la la ala I'm not listening la lala la I can't wait to see Soundwave's cassettes! Ravage! Rumble! I can't wait to see them in action! |

Something like that can only explain the weird fascination that the younger generation have with ... it's a bike, but it turns into an awkward looking "robot".. with wheels on it's shoulders and a face like a fucking old mudguard. |

yeah michael bay is gonna pis all over this, why does he get given films? |

I've never seen transformers. None of the shows or even the old transformers movie. my step brother is infatuated with the whole franchise. whats the general concept of it? robots that came to earth to fight a war disguised as trucks and cars? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to my recollection there is no good reason they turn into other things, but its coool ass shit when they do. I guess it was on earth, dont really remember |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes there was. Originally, they used to transform into vehicles and machines to perform menial tasks and help the society run. They could walk around like normal humans and such, but when they needed to move some stuff around, one of them would turn into a vehicle that hovered and did all that futuristic stuff. Then the war happened, and they crash landed on earth. When the ships computer came online, it noticed that they were damaged and required parts, so it went around and took designs and materials from the machines that were closest. They were cars, and some jets from a nearby army base. Thats what I remember at least. A friend of mine and I watched the entire series a year ago when he bought the dvd's. |

|

are they going to have a big black robot that goes, yo dog check out amazing rappers name new track, hot wire soundwave and proceed to do some crazy gang star moves just so we can see them dance? and the rest of the film will be complete shite? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's interesting. I should watch the transformers movie. (animated one) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's my favorite movie ever. Cliche campy choice for a young man age 20-25, but what are you gonna do. The main antagonist is a gigantic Transformer that transforms into a a planet, and he's voiced by ORSON WELLES. He came a long way, going from Citizen Kane to Transformers- The Movie. Leonard Nimoy voices the other major villain. They spared no expense. Bernie Mac, for fuck's sake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does the movie summarize the series? Or would I need to see some of the show first to catch up with the movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the movie is the only thing ive seen of transformers since I was about 11. that does sound familiar though. gwely the film doesnt summarise the series, it is a particularly dramatic episode of the war in which the leadership matrix is exchanged, i hope that doesnt spoil it for you watching the film, when Dare To Be Stupid comes on it has to be one of the biggest wtf moments ever |

from : Report: Xbox 360 in Transformers film Review of leaked script to Michael Bay's upcoming robofest mentions a transforming Xbox 360. By Tim Surette, GameSpot Posted Jun 9, 2006 1:57 pm PT If reports from the Web are any indication, the upcoming Transformers movie is taking a few liberties with the classic toys to give it a modern feel. (Editor's note: Possible spoilers ahead--read with caution.) Bumblebee, known classically as a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, is being supped-up as a canary-colored Camaro. Megatron, the Decepticon leader who transformed into a powerful gun, may take the alternate form of an alien ship in the movie. And Soundwave, everyone's favorite boombox, may be scrapped in favor of the CD-slinging Soundbyte. Robert Sanchez, editor of The Movie Reporter, a Web site that covers entertainment, claims to have gotten his hands on the film's script and reveals a few more new Transformers that may make it into the movie. "I almost forgot to mention one of the most stupid scenes in the script," he writes on the site. "For reasons that I won't get into, we see an iPod, Xbox 360, and plasma screens sprout legs and transform just a bit." It's unclear whether the Xbox 360 Transformer is an Autobot or Decepticon. For more information on the movie, check out the film's teaser Web site, which went live today. Activision is currently developing Transformers games for unspecified consoles and handhelds. |

1. They can't not have soundwave. I don't care if the youth of today don't know what a ghetoblaster is. 2. Plasma screen transformers. Please. Don't. Otherwise I am still very excited. |
||||||||

I can't even fathom a transforming iPod/plasma TV (plasma sucks anyway)/Xbox/etc. Sounds more like a cynic's wet dream than an actual fact, with actual evidence. Why not reveal something of substance if you ''have the script''? But it's a Bay movie, so I'd never rule that shit out. I heard Megatron was a tank, not a ship, which I could live with. Transforming into a handgun always did my head in, anyway... where did all that extra mass go to? Gwely- no need to see the cartoons before seeing the movie. It's not like the characters or story are... deep... or anything. The movie also kills off a lot of the old characters and introduces a lot of new ones. Although if you had a background watching the cartoon, as I did, and were 5 years old, as I was, you'd probably cry when Optimus Prime died. |

don't worry, i came back to life to haunt xltronic. |

I'm sure that script is CHOCKA FUCKING BLOCK with substance. They just missed it as.. it .. wasn't.. there. An advert for forthcoming video games, based on old toys, that they've shoe horned other products into... wow, can't wait to pick holes in THAT plot. |
||||||||

You do realize my tongue has been firmly planted in my cheek this entire thread, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't Soundwave a walkman, not a boombox? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah he was. kids dont know what cassettes are anymore... theyd better not make him an iPod that thing abut ipods/xbox/tvs just suggests to me they are doing a sequence showing transformers are everywhere in normal life, its probably just a joke/advert intro or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, now that you mention it. The way his legs swing up, I tend to think that they become the ''speakers'', but... they're really not. I think most people think of him as a boombox for some reason, even that article up there referred to him as a boombox. Re: Soundwave in the movie, from wikipedia (so must be taken with a cinderblock of salt)- ''According to leaked movie scripts, Soundwave's alternate mode for the upcoming live-action feature film is rumored to be a four-foot tall boombox. However, the director of the Transformers movie, Michael Bay, has stated in his blog that the scripts that were leaked were several months old, leading to speculation that this information may no longer be accurate. It is still possible that Soundwave may appear as a helicopter in the 2007 film.'' I could deal with a shameless Xbox product placement if it's treated as a one-shot joke and the Xbox character does not become the film's Jar Jar Binks. Michael Bay has to put food on his kids' plates SOMEHOW. |

A HELICOPTER? please anything... but that. let him be a sony walkman from the mid-90s or a bloody 8 track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
An eight track. That could lead to some good comic relief. Especially with his voice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would obviously be an advert, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best thing about this whole franchise is the commercial with the electronic voice that said "robots in disguise!" that's all i need, just a recording of that voice. "robots in disguise." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why couldn't they just remain totally faithful to the generation 1 cartoons? Why can't bumblebee be a yellow VW beetle again? If jazz isn't going to be a Porsche they can go fuck themselves! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah there doesn't really seem to be any rhyme or reason for messing with tradition. The proposed changes seem pretty random. Is Scatman Crothers still alive? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not sure, I know a few of the original voices are dead. Also just read that there will be no size shifting in the movie either? That means the jets will be massive and the cars will be tiny; it's not going to work. |
