The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2007 I heard a rumor that one of the sequels (apparently it will be a trilogy) will feature the Dinobots and possibly the Constructicons. I'm torn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Transformers is supposedly (although its been denied by everyone affiliated with the movie so probably not) going to be released on PPV July 3rd in conjunction with theatres. The catch is that its $50 on PPV. Michael Bay - "Total bullshit. Probally a scam putting old movie on." As nice as it would be to make $50 a pop per buy, would you really want to run the risk of essentially giving people a perfect quality version of the film to bootleg? Seems like a double-edged sword if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do realize that Transformers, with the exception of the two Mainframe series, WAS anime, right? Well i never considered the orginal series to be "anime". In all honesty it could just be I don't know the line between whats "anime" and whats "manga". Probably due to my ex refering to things I would have considered "manga" as "anime" (i.e. Naruto - which by the way, is garbage.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably due to my ex refering to things I would have considered "manga" as "anime" (i.e. Naruto - which by the way, is garbage.) "Anime" is the TV broadcast of a cartoon series. "Manga" is the print version of that same series (looks like an oversized comic or paperback book a lot of times). Two different formats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of Loonatics. And Ironhide's a beast. Loonatics? Not at all. The show, featuring character designs by Derrick Wyatt of “Teen Titans,” will blend classic “Transformers” characters with brand-new ’bots. Twenty-six half-hour episodes, plus the special, will make up its first season. Bingo. I expected as much. Does Optimus Prime require a ridiculous looking, top-heavy/tiny-waist torso? It makes the concept seems even more implausible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2007 Here is a pretty cool 30 second clip on Letterman of Shia Lebouf on a rooftop and Megatron demanding the Allspark... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgkFM3M5exA I actually dig Hugo Weavings voice for this. Also, the detail that went into the CGI of Megatron's face as he's talking is excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Bacchus 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Just got back from the Early Showings at 8pm. And all I can say is... WOW. Superb effects + 80's Love + A plot inspired from the Cartoon = A mess in my pants. Just give the movie a chance and forget everything that you know when you were a kid, and prepare to fall in love again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spman 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Sorry, I hated this. I could really give a shit about the human actors, and this film focused way too much on them. I fucking hated that first fight with Bumblebee at the Junkyard where they show the beginning of the fight, cut to Shia LaBeouf doing his stupid shit, and then they don't show the robots again until the fight is over.
