Even more Transformers info at Yahoo! Upcoming Movies

I dunno. I loved The Transformers. But I think it's just too late in the game and I just don't see how this could possibly be good. Then again, movies I've downplayed usually turn out decent.

Nah. Refuse to acknowledge its existence. I'd hate to ruin my childhood memories. Hence my fear of this live-action movie.

yes, I knew it was a musical. I saw it when it was in Philadelphia and I have also seen that movie. I'm guessing you didn't like the movie.

From what I've read in articles, I don't think they're going to make Sounwave a cassette player, they'll be making him something a little more modern. I would guess that Ravage, Rumble, Laserbeak, and the rest will transform into compact discs instead of cassettes. Personally, I think they should just leave them as what they are, but I won't mind a few changes as long as they aren't too drastic.

That was cool, but I think it would've been cooler if they got the guy walking in the background to run like hell away or have some car crash on the street behind the bug. But still pretty sweet.

I wonder if that's how it will look for the movie?

The thing that I'm wondering about regarding this movie is that one of the sites I've read mentioned that Transformers have been fighting here on Earth unbeknownst to us for some time. Or at least that's how the movie may be working itself out. It said the wars may even be dating back to Biblical times. So, if Transformers are made to look like modern mechanical objects (VW Beatles, handguns, big rigs, tape players, etc.), how do they justify their appearances back in Biblical times as none of that stuff existed? Are they going to try and say that Transformers can evolve their appearance? If this is the case, then we start to wonder why the Transformers don't just morph into whatever the hell they want on an as-needed basis? If they can evolve their transformations, why not just become whatever suits you best when you need it? And, what the hell did they transform into back in Biblical times? A rock? The Holy Grail? Noah's Ark? Just brings up a whole new area of questioning regarding the movie.

Yeah, that does sound kind of weak. Reminds me of AvP, which although I didn't see sounded like a lousy premise, IMO. I like the idea put forth in the originals...they crash landed, slept for millions of years, were repaired, resumed the battle in modern times, etc; That's the only way the need for disguise makes sense. Can you imagine: "Autobots, transform and take shape of...a horse drawn carriage!!"

And if Transformer evolution did exist, would Soundwave now be an iPod instead of a cassette player?

Biblical times, hunh?

Does that mean that 'Eject' and 'Rewind' or whatever Soundwave's tapes were named would, instead, be the tablets on which the commandments were written???

Or would Optimus shout "Water to wine, and ROLL OUT!!"
