any way to replace agent smith's voice with frank welker's ? LOL

You get him to say the lines into a nice microphone, and I'm on it. While you're at it, get Peter Cullen to recite the ending speech.

i love the 1986 animated movie and hate the michael bay turd, is there any way your fan edit comes closer to the 1980 cartoons?

I would say if you totally hate the "Michael Bay turd", that you probably won't like mine much more(complete turd in=partial turd out). However, if you dislike certain parts of the movie, because they're distracting to the main plot, you will probably like it. I love the old cartoons, but you've got to admit some of that old stuff was pretty lame too (see Seaspray's voice, and Seaspray falling in love with an alien girl). I don't know if the material is there to make it just like G1. All I could do was make it closer to how I would have made a Transformers movie.

and the new animated series which looks worse than tartakoskys clone wars don't even get me started on that.

Yeah, I'm not really into that new series. It just seems like Transformers for little pansy boys. They should all strap on knee pads and bike helmets when they're running around, someone might get hurt.

as far as i'm concerned this is another alternate universe transformers and has nothing to do with the official universe cannon, i'm speaking of the bay movie.

It can't be canon for the G1 continuity, because it everything happens differently than either the cartoons or the comics. It is an alternate universe. That said, I'm OK with that universe, I just don't like some of the dialogue used in it. I'm thinking/hoping that Bay and co. will delve more into the Transformers mythos with the next two movies. If you look at the first movie as more of an introduction (for the masses) to the Transformers, and as part of a trilogy, it's a little more acceptable. I talked to serveral people who watched the movie an told me that they thought that not much happened. When I explained to them that it was a trilogy, they were more receptive to the events that occurred in the film. I believe this was a planned trilogy, and they knew that they had time to stretch out. If you put robots in the whole (first) movie, you will do two things: Make your budget completely ridiculous, and alienate people who are not into giant creepy robots having giant crazy wars. And that equals the end of the franchise. It sucks that money runs these things, but someone has to pay ILM and Jon Voight. ;) I'm not defending all of Mike Bay's actions, but at the end of the day they did have to sell tickets to continue the series in bigger (and hopefully better) ways.

i would put classic g1 first then the simon furmon comics canon, and even the japan only headmasters series before this movie in terms of order of preference.

It's a shame that Furman was not deeply entrenched in the writing of this movie.

never mind that the live action transformers movie a misnomer since it was all fake cgi animated, was a rip off of literally every hollywood blockbuster i have ever seen. not suprising since the only good movie michael bay ever directed was the rock and that was a rip off of both james bond and indiana jones.

Were they supposed to build real transforming robots? I was pretty impressed with the cgi, minus some of the excessive motion blur and some of the robot designs.

Bay is Bay, and he has the Transformers, and nothing is going to change that. I'm just going to try and make the best out of what we got, and enjoy it as much as possible. All of Bay's movies have a great film wrapped in a big layer of cheese. My mission in fanediting is to peel off that cheese. I think I'll be concentrating on Bay's films, and some similar filmmakers with my edits (see Roland Emmerich).

Anyway long story short, try the edit. If you don't like it, give me your ideas for the next cut . And if you don't like that one, wait for my G1 cut. And if you don't like that one, well, pester Sony to release the unaltered G1 DVD sets.
