Transformers Thread

I dunno if you want to hype it up for people who haven’t seen it. I personally think it’s good if you don’t go in with any expectation. It’s a very different film from what I expected.

I guess a plus for the movie would be that the humor was on point for most of the film, and the action was of course always there, but I’m a Starscream fan so I was pretty disappointed in his character. He only had one line, and I felt as though he didn’t play the strong role he was supposed to.

But I gotta say, the Autobots DID know how much of a badass he was in comparison to all the other decepticons.

Needs more Magnus/Rodimus.

well yea…agreed.

I didn’t know it was out today until my sis called me to say that she already bought the tickets. So for me I didn’t expect anything extraordinary.

If you think about comparing every little detail from the series to the movie while watching it, you might not find it as enjoyable as expected.

*Had a great time watching it and it was one of the few movies where I didn’t think about my ass being sore for sitting 2 hours.

In theory, most poor Asian countries that have access to DVD rip offs from China (like the Philippines) normally have movie release dates that are always earlier than the US release to prevent the movie pirates from China from releasing bootleg DVDs before the official US screen date.

What’s the point of getting cheap bootleg copies anymore when you can watch it Dolby Digital cinemas earlier than the US screening. Heck, it’s even earlier than the bootleg release. LOL!

The Chinese basically use legit promotional DVD copies in the US as a source material in their bootleg copies. Going inside cinemas to capture videos is kinda impractical these days. So by defualt, the bootleg copies are released after a few days from the US release. Back then, this was a thriving business since it’s almost a month after US release before any other country gets to have a US based movie.

The Transformers’ movie release is the earliest in the history of the Philippines in comparison with the US screening. It was released here June 28, almost a week ahead.

check here for more info on it. Sounds good given the crappy designs

fall 2008

Classics returns

Voyager octane, Galvatron, sunstreaker …

titanium and alternators cancelled unfortunately…

check out www.tfw2005.com for more info

hell yeah! octane! I might just hold out from buying the g1 reissue of galvatron for the classics one.

to be honest, Im not bothered at all at the demise of alternators. whats so special about using the same 4 transformation schemes (excluding ravage, the most unique one) but with different cars and swapping heads on the same mold? yawn.
titaniums, Id like the little ones more if they werent all squatting in a weird way. as for the 6" ones, lots of good ideas but all that die cast just hurt them more than helped.

Great goddamn movie. Saw it, first in line at the local cineplex with my fellow geek friends, playin’ Transformers Risk for laughs out front.

  • There’s three clips during the beginning of the credits, but then nothing after that.
  • Pee first. Out of 12 of us, 10 had to go out during the movie since we’d been waiting in line for hours. We r stoopid.

I’m pretty surprised and impressed. Much better than I expected.

Just got done seeing it a few hours ago, only got on at this moment, and I went in with very low expectations. However they went up much higher than I had really, really anticipated. Aside from a few things that I didn’t like, the movie overall was actually quite good, wow, all I have the say is, I can finally give Michael Bay a cookie and not feel displeased about it.

just got back from the movie and damn that was the greatest movie i’ve seen in a long time. calling it now best movie of 07. anyone who saw the movie happen to know what preview that was that didn’t say the name of the movie coming out in 01/08?

I don’t think it said what movie it was, but it was an amazing trailer…I got a chill down my spine watching it.

Anyways, this movie was amazing. There’s not much I can say since pretty much every aspect of the movie that rocked has been mentioned. Megan Fox looked AMAZING. And maybe President Hoover wasn’t so bad.

I’m seeing it tonight and I’m bringing spoilers with me!!!

Hmm, I guess when I move back to the old continent, I should visit the homeland for big movie openings. :smiley:

4neqs knows what I’m talking about. :wink:

I didn’t get to see the movie at BotCon, was too tired from driving all day and waiting in goddamn lines to pick up prereg packets. Fuckin’ A, people are still disorganized.

SMB I didn’t know you wanted a litho, otherwise I would have gotten you one. Sorry.

I got Dinoking. :lovin: :lovin: :lovin:

Made me some good money @ my booth! I GOT PAID!!! :lol:

Anyone plan to get the re-colored G1 MP Starscream? :raises hand:

That’s a WalMart exclusive? WTH?

But… yes, yes, I for one am. I’m weak to that much awesome. Good work - your post will clearly cost me $125. :sad:

EDIT: Also, you probably are going to be looking for this after seeing the movie. So there it is. :tup:

I saw it last night. It was actually… good.
It had a few dumb parts, but for the most part it was good.
Soundwave as comic relief was legit.

The preview that came on right before the movie, that 1/08 thing, what the hell was that? It put the entire theatre in STFU mode for about 5 minutes.

I heard the name “cloverleaf” or something…

I was pretty confused after the trailer too. Godamn J.J. Abrams.

Find out below:

Nice, I liked the classics line, so Im curious what they make of these :wonder:

I’ve actually gotten used to olive Starscream. I do want the authentic colors though. I guess I’ll just have two MP Starscreams. The original was a Christmas gift and there’s no way I could ever sell it, ever.

Any news on when it comes out? If it’s before mid-September, I can actually pick it up in stores. Otherwise I’m gonna have buy online and have it shipped internationally.
