All I wanna know is if that jet was Starscream.

At the end, flying out into space? Yeah thats Startscream.

 

[papillon24]

I got to see the pre screening on the 2nd... It was awesome...and to top it off someone let off roman candles in the middle during the big battle.

That made it even better

I enjoyed the whole movie, I can't wait for a sequel. It's inevitable. Maybe next one will have Soundwave 8).

First let me preface by saying that TRANSFORMERS WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!

There will be a second movie, it has been confirmed and they're working on the script. Unfortunately I think we can pretty much rule out Soundwave making an appearance, what with Frenzy already in it and casette players being very much out of date. However, there are rumblings that the Dinobots will be making an appearance, and I think we can expect a lot more characters in the next one. You gotta know that the Autobots will follow Prime's signal to Earth, especiaslly with Cybertron pretty much doomed. Then of course there's Starscream, and you just know he took off at the end to go find reinforcements and make a power play.

In my opinion, I feel that we haven't heard the last of Megatron. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up becomming Galvatron in the second movie, since he absorbed the power of the Allspark and all. Of course, that's just wild speculation on my part.

Can't keep a good villain down.

 

[snake0067]

I fucking LOVED Transformers, LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!

 

[Trombonus]

Exactly. In my head it makes perfect sense.

I can't see how they can leave Soundwave out of it though considering how many fans he has.


YAY for dinobots (hopes Grimlock looks cool).

They've actually already explained why they left him out in a few interviews. See the problem with Soundwave is that he's such a beloved character, if you screw things up too much the fans will hate you for it. They felt that they couldn't portray Soundwave in the way that would be fair to the fans. Originally they had planned on putting him in the movie, but realized it wasn't going to work out, so we got Frenzy instead.

They still should at least take a shot. We're seeing these movies because we WANT to see these characters.

Which one was frenzy? That little thing?

The CD player yeah. That was originally supposed to be Soundwave. You would have been pissed off too.

I guess.

The wierdest thing to me was actually seeing the characters die, since most never really did in the series.

Not until the movie at least. The Autobot death (and I wont mention names for those who haven't had a chance to see it) was particularly gruesome.

Yeah they didn't really develop him enough in the movie though, so people who aren't diehards aren't going to really care one way or another.

I feel kinda shortchanged when you don't really care whether characters die one way or another.

Agreed, it was like that for all the characters that died, especially the Decepticons. They showed up, blew some stuff off then got killed. WTF? although Bonecrusher vs. Optimus Prime was pretty damn cool.

 

[Cadoras]

Okay, so I'm curious... And I figured this was probably the best place to ask..... Why should someone see this Transformers movie? I mean I've seen previews and it just looks very meh.... Nothing is really there to convince me to watch it.... So, if someone that's seen it could give me some insight as to why it's good?

They could have had one meeting or something. Some of the characters are pretty cooky originally.

As a Transformers fanatic, I have a very VERY biased opinion. However, the Previews show practically nothing. The movie was so far beyond anything I expected, and I thought it was going to be good. If you're a fan of Transformers you owe it to yourself to check out this movie at some point. As long as you realize it won't be G1 then you'll enjoy it.

I see......

And what is G1?

I'm honestly drawing a blank here.....

G1 is short for Generation 1, or the original series starting in 1984.

The TF timeline is as follows

Generation 1
Generation 2 (rerelease of many original Tf's in different color schemes, with some new characters as well)
Beast Wars
Machine Wars(Just barely a blip on the TF radar, but worth mentioning.
Beast Machines
Robots in Disguise
Armada
Energon
Cybertron
Transformers Animated (New upcoming series)

That doesn't even include Japanese lines, or certain toy lines like Alternators, Universe, or classics.

Yes, I know entirely way too much about Transformers.

There's a CGI transformers show that comes on cartoon network at like 5 am.

That'd be Cybertron

As much as I hate to drag everyone away from this discussion that already has one spoiler in it (thanks a lot), I have a change of subject for you.

I'm compiling a short list of songs onto a mix CD or two along the theme of "creepyness." And I don't mean talking about creepiness, I mean makes you think about the darker stuff, reminds you of a nightmare you once had, or generally wierds you out. For my part, I'm including Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." Ever since I heard the BBC radioplay of Hitchiker's Guide, that song has always made my skin crawl. Sound bits from movies or tv are cool as well.

Any suggestions?

 

[SpeX125]

I never watched the cartoon,I wasn't into it. Would that keep me from enjoying the movie?

Probably not, although you might not appreciate it as much. you'll miss a lot of the homages too, which will make the lines seem really corny.

PS: sorry if I revealed a spoiler. I tried very hard not to do that, but am well aware I may have let something slip that I wasn't supposed to.
