Transformers

[jackskellington]

I realize it's still over a year away, but there will probably be a teaser trailer in the next few months so I figured why not go ahead and start up the inevitable thread! Let it be known that I am a HUGE Simpsons fan, and am VERY excited about their movie which is slated to come out about the same time, but a live action Transformers flick will DEFINITELY be the highlight of next summers line up.

This film has got me really excited, "real" Transformers! That'll be so cool! I just hope they base it on the original cartoon and not Armarda. Damn, silly mini-cons.

[klownhed]

Have you guys seen the dancing transformer comercial for the Citroen C4. Its incredible. I hope the movie has as much quality as this ..

check it out: Dancing Citroen (http://uk.download.yahoo.com/ne/fu/oa/eurcncs185030.mpg) (this is @ 5meg .mpg file so it might take a while to load.)

I think that is the commercial that used to be on the tv in the UK. Very cool:)

wish they'd put stuff that cool on TV here in the states .. didn't the UK also do the broadcast of that live action Simpsons intro? .. that was cool too ..

Yeah the Simpsons intro is broadcast over here, as an advert for Sky1, but the best UK advert has to be the Mini advert from a few years ago where a couple are trapped in their Mini by attacking zombies:)

[Bripe Klmun]

I'm dying for this movie, too. Transformers has been on a downword spiral in quality, with the exception of the G1 reissues and the Alternators - and things are finally starting to come back around.

If a tear doesn't run down my face when the film starts to roll, it'll be because I'm dead.

[jackskellington]

That Simpsons live action intro was broadcast here in the states as well about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Also, here's some new casting news for the Transformers.....

For you guys that liked the professional Citroen commercial - check out the fan-made "Optimus Prime" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM74D1mFjN0).

Now just imagine what a few million dollars will do! :clap:

If this goes well we'll get the transformers of MY childhood: Beast Wars. FLYING GORILLA BITCH!

I was old enough to have the glory of the original transformers. But my golden age was also spent on watching Beast Wars. Man that show was great. Me and a few of my friends still have discussions on what happened on that show.. losers:doh: . Now the show that took its place Beast Machines.. was total shit.

[Cyber Bishop]

Aaaaah Transformers.. I love em.. became a fan in 84 when they first hit the states.. I look forward to the movie also and hope that they do not completely fudge it up.

If you are a TF fan here is a good palce to talk about them

http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/

[TransformersFan]

OMG, I cant believe that there was a thread on this and i havent even posted yet.

I love TF's. Im not a fan of the new shows, but love the new toy lines. (I cant believe im 27 and still go to Toys R Us and buy TF toys. I love BW as well, the best written show in the TF universe, although some would argue that Beast Machines was it. I found that series to be too different and strange....Cybertron having an organic core.....anyways!

Im looking forward to the movie, the toy line tie in, and the overall revival of Generation one, the series from '84!.

[A.Z.O. Commander]

That's crazy, a "Simpsons" and "Transformers" movie with REAL people/objects. That's cool. I actually don't even watch the simpsons or transformes, but if there are gonna be real yellow people and huge real robots, who wouldn't want to check it out.

god beast machines was total shit. I remember when it came on around the same time of the 1st matrix (or was it after, uh who cares) and they were all "i am transformed" and all that bullshit. Such a waste of a good concept.

damnit I need to buy TF and BW on dvd already.

The Simpsons movie isn't gonna be live action. They did a live action opening sequence a month or so ago on the Sunday night episode, but the movie is gonna be animated. I don't think I would want to see it otherwise.

yeah I guess you have a point. It's still surprising that they're gonna have giant robots running around blowing shit up though :lol:

[Crickler]

I watched the old animated Transformers movie yesterday, god i love that film. I love the cheesy soundtrack (come on, honestly, is there a better song than 'The Touch'?:)). Its just reminded me, the standards this new film has to live up to. I wonder if they'll do a new version of the theme song?

[HOO-HAA]

I bought the Transformers marvel comics when they came out. Only bought a couple of the toys, mind... Gears and the wee yellow VW beetle, who was described as the weakest autobot... :lol:

I remember one of the comics had a story where Spiderman and Gears teamed up together for some reason (it was when Spiderman was still wearing the symbioite costume that Venom now sports). Gears got mangled, somehow, and Optimus Prime had to arrange getting him reassembled...

Halcyon days... :)

You've got the Touch! You've got the Powaaaaaaahhhhhhh! *cue cheezy guitar riff*
Ahhh good old Stan Bush, what a super star..... Im surprised his career didnt take off after that mega hit.

Here are the sweet lyrics..... and they are suprisingly homo erotic.

You've got the touch, you've got the power.
Yeah.

After all is said and done, you never walk,
you never run, you're a winner.
You got the moves, you know the streets,
break the rules, take the heat, you're nobody's fool.
You're at your best when the going gets rough,
You've been put to the test but it's never enough.

You got the the touch, you got the power.
When all hell's breaking loose,
you'll be right in the eye of the storm.
You got the heart, you got the motion.
You know that when things get too tough,
you got the touch.

You never bend, you never break, you seem to know
just what it takes. You're a fighter
It's in the blood, it's in the will, it's in the mighty
hands of steel. When you're standin your ground.
And you never *give in* when you're back's to the wall
gonna fight till the end and you're taking it all.

You got the touch, you got the power,
when all hell's breaking loose,
you'll be right in the eye of the storm.
You got the heart, you got the motion.
You know that when things get too tough, you got the touch.

You're fighting fire with fire.
You know you got the touch.

You're at your best when the going gets rough,
you've been put to the test but it's never enough.
You got the touch, you got the power.
Yeah.

No offence taken, its all tied up in nostalgia. We grew up watching this stuff (or I know I did) so I get kick out of watching my old favourites again.

tee hee I can't wait to see this movie when it comes out, i saw teh trailor for the first time today. hehe woot :rock:

[JohnDRobinson]

The teaser trailer looks great. It's probably going to be good even with Michael Bay at the helm.

[zombiekilling101]

I was alittle sadened by the teaser. Seeing that Transformers have nothing to do with mars but Bay said the movie will have nothing to do with mars either that he just shot that little rover thing for a teaser.. but it showed a transformer so why would he shoot it and than it has nothing to do with anything..:loon:

[B00Ne]

Anyone else see the pic that was leaked of Optimus? They've pulled it off most websites because Paramount is threatening to sue:
http://www.dtheatre.com/story_images/OP.Sneak.jpg
I guess we'll have to wait and see how this'll turn out, apparently they were too restrained on the actual transformation if they stuck with a flatnose truck.

[zombiekilling101]

if its true thats a stupid ass optimus.....a crappy try to hip it up for the teens. stupid

[zombiekilling101]

Man I was just joking with the guys at work about how Dane Cook should play the voice of starscream in this movie, and now according to IMDB hes going to be in it.

what.. jackpot!

[jackskellington]

Good news about Optimus Prime...


Cullen is the Voice of Optimus Prime
Source: Superhero Hype! July 21, 2006


The original voice of Transformers' Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen, will also voice the character in Paramount's anticipated big screen adaptation. Cullen made the announcement over the phone during the studio's presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con today.

Transformers, directed by Michael Bay, hits theaters on July 4, 2007.

[zombiekilling101]

That is some good news:clap:

Live Chat In About An Hour. I Guess They Will Be Announcing The Entire Cast. Go To The Main Site And Follow Directives...

http://www.transformersmovie.com/

[jackskellington]

Well, here's the outcome...I thought they were gonna announce what celebrities are voicing and acting. I didn't really care what exact robots they were gonna use. But the contest at the bottom sounds like something we could all make fun of! Let's see, if I wanted Optimus Prime to say something that I would say in the movie, it would be.........:think:


Autobots:
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Jazz
Ratchet
Ironhide

Decepticons:
Megatron
Starscream
Brawl
Bonecrusher
Barricade
Scorponok
Frenzy
Blackout

Orci and Kurtzman also announced that there will be a contest on the official website soon in which you send in a line that Optimus Prime should say in the movie. The studio will pick one line that will make it in the film.

[Bripe Klmun]

if its true thats a stupid ass optimus.....a crappy try to hip it up for the teens. stupid

How is a very commonplace Freightliner semi cab a way to "hip it up for the teens"?

[zombiekilling101]

how is a different colored truck with flames on it not trying to?

why am I complaining though... it is or was a show for kids.

[Bripe Klmun]

I'm guessing that you haven't seen a lot of tractor trailer rigs if you think that flames are strange, but I digress. As for "different colored" - does that refer to the fact that he's not almost all-red? The other Transformers aren't exactly the same, either - I think it would have been a little dumb to have the TFs come to earth in the year 2007 and take alternate modes of 20-25 year old cars...

[zombiekilling101]

Were not talking about the amount of flamed big rigs I have seen.. im saying that if they go with a flamed optimus its going to be them trying to make him seem more "cool"

also I didnt say anything about them coming to earth and taking the form of 20 year old cars.

I live in CA and for the about 500 rigs I see.. I see maybe 1 flamed one. There not common here.

[devourthesun]

I just watched the animated movie for the first time like...last week, I had been hunting that movie since i was a kid, I had the soundtrack and wore that cassette out i played it so much, i seem to remember "The Touch" being my favorite song. Oh man i was a dumb kid :lol:, none the less, I cant Fing wait for this live action Transformers. Its going to kick ass like nothing else. I wants some giant ass robots whooping up on each other!!!

BTW, I hated, HATED beast wars. I thought it was dumb as crap as a kid.

[zombiekilling101]

youve got the touch!.... such a violent movie for kids.

How can you hate beast wars. megatron shot the old prime in the face when he was shut down!

[devourthesun]

I must not have seen that episode. And Damn that movie really was violent, I mean Optimus dying, I can see how that would screw up kids. *factoid: In the GI.Joe movie, Duke is supposed to die, but they changed the dialouge so that hes just in a coma, Because of the uproar from parents about Optimus dying. guess it made alot of kids cry and parents got all pissy.


And fell over laughing when i heard "OH Shit" in the transformers movie, that was such an 80's thing that would NEVER fly in an animated kids movie now.

It wasn't just Optimus though, loads of them died, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Wind Charger, Prowl (or Blue Streak, can't remember which one is in the shuttle with Ironhide), Brawn. I'm sure some more die but its been a while since I watched it. And I'll restate my opinion on 'the touch' - it ****ing rocks! Long live cheese rock!:rock:

[Divided Soul]

Well..I like mostly anything about robots being a child of the 70's and 80's

[Dead J]

At first when the first pics of Megatron were leaked making him look more like a super alien then old Megatron i rememberd when i was a kid all I could think of was how crappy this movie was going to be. But now since i saw the trailer this movie looks awsome I just hope they dont screw it up.

[DoorstopIdol]

Ya know, I am still really looking forward to this movie...but the biggest gripe I have is that the Transformers really don't look like the vehicles that they become. I mean, I know they're "Robots in Disguise" and all...but they look almost too robotic (if that is possible) when they are up and walking around. Kind of ruins it for me.

But I still really want to see it.

[Divided Soul]

Yeah the trailer looks great!

[Cybopath]

A funny look at some of the old Transformer episodes...

How is it already deemed a "blockbuster flick"?
"Blockbuster" has become an industry term dealing with action, special effects and huge advertising budgets. Nothing to do with how a film does at the box office or what the quality of the film is.

This flick looks like it will be a great example of how kick ass special effects without a good story just makes for a lousy film. I hope I am wrong.

Just saw the trailer at the movies and I have to say it looks freaken awesome! I really like what they did with the some of the scenes. The hologram in the helicopter scene is a cool idea. But I don't seem to remember a helicopter Decepticon. I wonder what characters are going to be in the movie?

just like in the old series... :)

from the trailer we have hotshot, optimus, star scream, megatron and some others.

I think they only had decepticon jets back in the day.

I have so much hope for this movie.

I just don't remember playing with a helicopter when I was young. This movie looks too good which has already raised expectations which I'm affraid will have already have runied it a little. I just really hope that Bumblebee is not a VW BUG. Which would in my mind be the equivalent to Jar Jar Binks.

Hybrid auto. Thats would be the equivalnet to BINKS having offspring in episode 3-1/2.

[Flyboy]

Weel, the movie just received the highest ever audience appreciation rating for a Bay flick, with a 92 score. Then again, people are stupid.

Nah, I'm excited about this one, simply because it only felt like yesterday that I was sitting on the carpet with my Optimus Prime, making sounds. :-( I could do with this movie being awesome after the disappointment of Spidey 3 and relative lack of any other decent 'BIG' movies coming out for the remainder of the year. No amount of flames or lips on Prime is going to keep me away from this.

According to the flick's producer, Tom DeSanto, just got back from the flick's test screening. And the test audience loved to no end.:drinking: (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=7825)

i dated a girl named nancy....:)

good thing about the test screening.

Hey, saw another trailer tonight during the final episode of Heroes and there was Soundwave. There was a little ghettoblaster sitting underneath a chair in what looked like a secured access room. Hope he has the cool voice like in the cartoon.

Is this that trailer? I can't really tell if that's a boombox or not underneath the chair. I always pictured Soundwave as a bit bigger.

Yeah, thats the one. He was much bigger in the cartoon but my assumption is this Soundwave. Quite the discrepancy wouldnt you say? I just dont' know how else they can pull this off. Either way I'm liking it!

Your assumption's wrong. The boombox is Frenzy, there is no Soundwave here. I just got the novel and the first time we see him is on Air Force One and if it's filmed right, should be quite a cool sequence...

[jackskellington]

I guess there's gonna be a bunch of new robots for us older folks to learn in this flick. When I was watching them, the only boom boxes were Soundwave and the ultra-cheesy stereotyped Jazz. Hell, the Dinobots and Constructicons were still pretty new on the scene when I last watched them! Either way, though, I'm psyched about this movie!!

You're thinking of Blaster, he was the Autobot boombox. Jazz was a Porshe and he is in the new movie (tho not a Porshe)...

[chickenchop1]

I like the new design of Bumblebee, but have to get used to Starscream's leg design, which resembles the back legs of a four legged mammal.

Longtime fan of the Transformers, so this film is a must-see. Hopefully, the robots are the stars of the film by the finale, but I'll guess the first 40 minutes will be build up, where the humans plan war-room strategies against the robot invasion, without seeing much robot action.

I only remember seeing a small bit of that movie. It just confused and angered me so I let it go. As far as July 4th goes, I've already told the wife that we're going and she has no choice on this one! My local theater has VIP seats in 2 or 3 of the auditoriums so I'm gonna go buy tickets a few days in advance so that I'm sure to get those good seats. Can't freakin' wait!!

Transformers 2007

In 1984 I was 7 years old. I had it all... He Man, GI Joe, and the Transformers... Now pushing 30 I don't wake up for cartoons anymore but I'll still drive 60 miles to be one of the first people in the state to watch anything affiliated with these. I was going to try to give a really accurate review, but I don't have the patience for the right words so here we go.


06/28/2007 10:55 PM

Nearly 1 hr after I exited the premiere of Transformers my heart still beats like a hummingbird's. Every time my eyes close I see Optimus Prime. Maybe it's the shitty residue I'm smoking or the fact I just got done re-living some of my youth through watching a movie made by Michael Bay? Come on! This dude normally lives to make movies I hate. Was it Spielberg's influence that steered this in the right direction? I don't know and I don't care. I was really pleased with the casting and the voices. The story could of used some work...a lot of work. The computer animation was brilliant absolutely beautiful. Bravo. I did have a little beef with the look of the Decepticons not much resembelence to the characters in the cartoon. Plus I had trouble telling them apart most of the time. It's rated PG-13, but I think they could of gotten away with a PG. There was more swearing in the cartoon Movie from the 80's. Once again attrattive high school kids are helping to save world. It's a kids movie so I can deal with this. Overall, anyone who enjoyed the Transformers in their youth will not regret seeing this.

[chickenchop1]

Nice Autobot design.
----

This looks promising from an action standpoint. Cool transformations, glad to hear a Transformer fan enjoyed it.

[zombiekilling101]

going to the 9:45 showing tomorrow.. hopefully.

[jackskellington]

Gonna try to go on Wednesday, but that may be a fruitless effort being July 4th and all.

[F Stop]

Saw this last night at the 11:30 showing.

It's super entertaining. I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it.

Also, Megan Fox is UNREAL. Seriously, I spent the entire time watching her, and not the Transformers. :D

[zombiekilling101]

damnit. not seeing it after all today. pointless to try tomorrow so maybe next week or something.

[chickenchop1]

Plenty of war-room/military strategies as expected in a Michael Bay big budget film. Wanted more Transformers and less people, but this was a people movie with supporting Transformers.

Then again, they're making a live action movie, not a cartoon series. Prefer the cartoon series, but this was interesting. Megatron, Blackout(helicopter), Barricade(cop car) and Starscream(jet) were cool. Bumblebee looked cool, along with a few Autobots.


----------------
I can't imagine any other way to make a Transformers movie than to use CGI; which was well done here. Stop motion, actual vehicles that transformed into robots, and other methods probably would pale in comparison in this case.

[jackskellington]

Just got back and freakin' LOVED it!!! This one delivered everything a fan of the original series could possibly want and then some. I was kinda disappointed that they put that cheesy ass Jazz in it, but his dialogue was only something like two lines so it wasn't that much of a bother. The "comic relief" scene in the backyard went on for a bit too long as well, but the movie is geared towards younger people so it was to be expected. Other than that, it absolutely kicked ass! Can't wait to own this one!!!:clap:

BTW, I'm not sure if the same trailers are shown nationwide, but the very last trailer shown before Transformers started was something about a guy having a farewell party thrown for him because he was getting ready to leave for Japan or something. Anyhow, the trailer was from the point of view of a hand held camcorder and some kind of explosion goes off in the middle of the city and pieces of shrapnel from it started flying everywhere and destroying buildings. Then everyone ran outside and started pointing saying, "It's coming this way!", which is when you can hear some type of Godzilla type roar just before the head from the statue of liberty lands in the middle of the street. My wife and I are racking our brains trying to figure out what that teaser was but neither of us remember it showing a title or website. Anyone know anything about it?

[HOO-HAA]

Sounds like good, clean fun! :)

I grew up with these bloody things as toys. I even bought the Marvel Transformers comic, at the time, with one episode co-starring Spiderman (in his post-Secret Wars venom suit!).

Gears and the wee yellow Beetle were my favourite transformers at the time...

Big negative on Blur as well. Making an appearance are:

Autobots: Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Jazz, Ratchet Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Barricade, Blackout, Frenzy, Devastator a bunch of random wee guys and what I can only assume was supposed to be Scorpinok

Yeah, rumor has it pre-sales of the tickets were enough to already warrent talks of the sequal. The only one which I thought was visually displeasing was Megs himself. It just looks like they threw a bunch of crap together and said, "Here's the Decepticon leader..."

Agreed, additionally I wasn't impressed with Starscream's appearance either. They didn't seem to put as much into the look of the actual robots for the Decepticons, with the possible exception of Barricade.

I think "Barricade" was the face for the Decepticons for the movie. Aside from Rumble and Scorps. (Keep in mind we don't know what happened to either of those two...)

Only real complaint I had for the Autobots was Opts mouth. It's just weird seeing it.

[B00Ne]

Rumble and Scorps

I thought that was Frenzy, not Rumble. Rumble would've had to have the pneumatic arms I think.

It could have been Frenzy. Heck, it might have been Ravage for all we know. M.B. did A LOT of re-imagining for the movie. But still, that aside, love the pimp flames on Opt. :evil:

I saw Transformers tonight, and I have to say not being much of a Transformers fan, I loved the film. And not being a big Shia Labeouf fan, I thought he did a terrific job as well.

My wife has been making fun of me for the last year because I've been so excited about this movie, especially when Clerks 2 made fun of it. But, after seeing it with me on July 4th, she changed her tune drastically and is now going around telling everyone at her work how awesome it was and that they've all got to see it immediately! It's definitely not one to wait and watch on the small screen.

[Cybopath]

I was not thrilled about their being a live action Transformers film. The trailer looked 'ok' and I told my nephews I'd take them to see it. I was not overly excited. And then wow it grabbed me It really is one of the best BIG BLOCKBUSTER SUMMER FILMS I've seen for a long long time, took me back to when I saw stuff like Jurassic Park as a Kid. A real good thing was that the trailer looked so mediocre and didn't reveal every great action shot, something that spoiled DH4 for me, the fact I knew already how each set piece would end as it was shown in the trailer. And the designs, I've grown to actually prefer most of them. Although I'm not too keen on Optimus's mouth. Role on Transformers 2 I want some Sound/Shock wave action.

[DentFoster]

Well, when Transformers originally came out, I was no longer interested in toys unless they were of the flesh and blood female kind. :) So basically I had very little prior knowlege of the characters.
That said I feckin' loved this movie. There was a little too much war room/military crap for me but the killer cgi transformations more than made up for it. Plenty of laughs, lots of action, a good story and a kick ass 2008 Camaro.
Damn, I wish that car would pick me! :lol:

Paramount Sets Transformers 2 Release Date
Source: Box Office Mojo September 24, 2007


Despite a recent comment from Transformers director Michael Bay that the studio hasn't been going full speed ahead on a sequel because of the possible strike next year, Paramount Pictures has now set a June 29, 2009 release date for Transformers 2. It is unclear who all will return for the sequel, as far as crew and cast members. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

The only other movie currently scheduled for the July 4th weekend in 2009 is Fox's Ice Age III.
