Brimley: Regarding changing Sam's Ebay name, the only real way I could see that working with Barricade is to actually re-dub the character (which depends on how much the voices could be edited from the soundtrack)

Changing it to "Spike" softens that edge a bit AND gives a nice shout out to the 80's fans without going down the cheese road. Just matte the new text on the screen when you see the eBay listing, and then find some clip from the 80's of Cullen saying "Spike" (that can't be THAT hard), pitch shift it a little and drop it over "ladies man" and you've got it! The Optimus lip movements are so crappy, I don't think anyone will notice the sync issues...
And just a general action scene request...I had no idea what was going on in most of the fights. Whatever you can do to help make these make more sense would be greatly appreciated. What a mess!

Seems like a hell of a lot of work just to do a namedrop.
I kinda like the scenes where the Ts identify him as "ladiesmanblahblahblah"...kind of a fun poke at the pseudonyms we take on without giving much thought to them.

It IS a lot of work...but then again, so are a lot of fan edits! If I cared enough, I would do it myself, but my X3 edit is taking most of my free time these days...that and catching up on Smallville and possible job changes. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it!

According to the movie/prequel comics continuity, Megatron and Optimus were brothers ruling Cybertron. And Frenzy was a spaz!

I'm going to want to see this edit because I HATED this film so much and did not want to hate it...
The only reason I saw it was because one of my best friends made the life size full scale model of one of the main robots used in filming. Yes, it was not 100% CGI, but close to it. You don't know how hard it was for me not to be able to post photos from his workshop last year!

The best shot I have from his Transformers work is poster size, and I'll try to scan that in today, I'll also ask the modeler if he has some other stuff I can post for you guys... I'm not sure if he is under contract to do the second film, or if he has to keep quiet. This guy does great work. He also does work for some Las Vegas theme hotels, and did a number of the huge stone like figures outside the Warner Brothers store in New York City. His wife worked on the sand worm models in 1985's DUNE, and they did the under sea cliff face in The Abyss. It's so kewl to visit them at there place in L.A. when I'm out there. They HATE what CGI has done to there art and business, but they still find kewl jobs on films now and then.

I would love to see what you have. The full size model you speak of, was the first leaked image I saw for the movie.

I watched the DVD (didn't get a chance to see it in the theatre) and thought - that was OK but could have been SO much more.
Can't wait to see your finished work

This production model is 30 feet tall!
The original photo is huge, and poster size. I tried to piece 8 scans together.
I would have done a better job if I had the time...

I'd leave it. It ties into a fanboy injoke in that Wolverine is a Marvel character as were the Transformers

Any feelings on the motorcyle under blackout scene? I think I'll just trim it up, rather than get rid of it entirely. This last quarter of the movie is moving a lot quicker.

PLEASE cut out the line "Your a soldier now!" during the last battle. That was just so stupid.

I'm planning on doing a trilogy of cuts at this point:
The first cut will be the soft cut. I will basically remove as much of what I deem offensive as is possible, without getting into reconstructing the entire soundtrack, and without creating any holes in the plot
The second cut will be the hard cut. It'll be a while for this one, as I'm going to do some extensive rebuilding of the soundtrack, to try and eliminate the nu-rock songs, and to remove even more of the filler human scenes.
The third cut will be the G1 cut. This one will take me forever. I want to just do it for fun, but it probably won't be much fun. Going to cut in the original voices, a few of the old songs, mainly from the TV show, not so much the movie and just rework it as a more first generation Transformers movie.
I hope to have the first cut done in the next few weeks. At that point I'd like to send a couple copies out for people to critique.

If your main aim is for a television style feel in terms of a G1 cut, what about reworking it into something of a 'pilot episode' for a live action series in the G1 style, sort of like what was done [by a fan, Jack Marshall] with Star trek 5 as a pilot for cancelled follow up series [to star trek TOS]. If you haven't seen this i'd recommend it - if only as a really good guide as to break of a film into distinct 'acts'. Maybe you could have the classic scene transition of the autobot logo flipping to the decepticon or vice versa - using the theatrical style brushed metal logos...

Actualy I'd be tempted to work on this idea myself. What are your thoughts?
While discussing the movie with a friend he said "it needs more star scream", Maybe you could achieve this by simply having him be more vocal, with that classic whiny voice...
In the end it's your edit, I'm just putting it out there. When you are ready I'd love to review it for you and give you feedback.

As far as the G1 cut goes, I am definitely going to add more starscream in there. He gets a good amount of screen time, so it wouldn't be hard to just insert his voice in there. Luckily, the original cartoon doesn't always have the soundtrack going, so I should be able to find some good, fitting dialogue. The hard part is going to be going through 4 seasons of material, to find all the voices and lines that I want. I'm planning on making it very obvious that Starscream was responsible for at least some of the missiles hitting megatron at the end. Not sure if I want to make it like the G1 cartoon or the G1 movie, but I like your idea of using the brushed metal logos for the scene transition. I would definitely have to find someone with skills to make that part. If you were going to make a cut like that, I would definitely be in to helping you with ideas and material.
I'm 8 cuts into my do-over of the first cut, and I realize now that I learned a lot from that first cut. I'm kind of glad that it screwed up now. It just better not happen again!!!
