If you want to see a first glimpse of the animatronics for the new Transformer Movie, go to Michael Bay's (the director) blog here.

Click on the Access Hollywood clip.

Cool. I think that there is more than meets the eye to this though.

Cool, that's from the Transformer animated movie!

Thomas Dolby's (I think) background music, "Dare to be stupid..."

Ha, ha, very funny!!! Creative use of the theme song.
I figured somebody was going to do it, so I thought I'd get it out of the way.

I heard that the guy who voiced Optimus Prime in the cartoon is doing the same in the movie.

Read it if you can stomach it.


*I* could have written a better script than this muffinhead Bay.

And I would have done it Right the first time, and used the 80s likenesses, and set the damn thing IN the 80s where it BELONGS.

Like it's been pointed out in the linked thread, about all that is going to make this film any money is the nostalgia factor from people in my generation and there about. And it's already more than blatantly obvious that Bay and Company are in the process of moving it away from the Gen 1 transformers which were popular with that demographic.

As a direct result, changing the characters' forms just to make it "more modern" and appeal to a younger crowd who's never even heard of transformers, who wont care, and by extension, adults who remember the classic Gen 1 cast will be put off and stay away as well, which is who you should be aiming at.

The ONE MISTAKE Bay could not afford to make is the one he already has.


This disaster was over before it began. :soapbox: :bird: :wah:
