Bruticus: I wouldnt assume my comments are an attack or that my assumption was that I had information others didn't. I was specifically addressing the fact that the comic's I collected in '85 onwards ( before the cartoon I beleive) initially were 'sold' to the moneymen with the idea that it would make for great toys. The…
I'm really looking forward to this one. I collected the comeics for a few hundred issues when i was 9,10,11 and it was also a great comic for introducing me ( along with Secret Wars) to other series and characters via the backup stories they ran with it. I'm glad the updated it, we're in an age where the only logical thing…
[ QUOTE ] THe 80's movie had Zero character development...they killed all the major characters off and replaced them with new ones. [/ QUOTE ] zero character development.... Prime freaking died, he went from a character youd think could never back down from anything to one lying in his death bed revealing secrets we had…
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Its just got a lot more potential for a bigger story than Star Wars..... [/ QUOTE ] really? Star Wars has 3 movies, 2 spin off movies, 3 spin off cartoons, 1 upcoming cgi animated series, 1 upcoming live action series, hundereds of comics (dealing in such things as the Knights of the Old Republic era…
[ QUOTE ] What I find surprising is how determined some of you seem to be already that you love it or hate it. I can't see how you can be so confident about your feelings on it when you haven't seen much of anything. I mean, I can understand not liking the new designs, but it still may be a great movie if you forget it's a…
Okay, on the topic of Megatron I can agree that the movie design is NOT a good design. It's very muddled and indistinct. I'd say that about it regardless of what it's supposed to be. I'm not going to say anything about ticket or toy sales. Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay didn't come up with these designs, just like George…
[ QUOTE ] The Transformers cartoon wasn't War & Peace, but it took itself seriously. [/ QUOTE ] wow... did you just type that? you obviously haven't seen much of G1... Should I remind you of the episode where Seaspray turns into a 'merman with big metal feet' and falls in love with a human female? What about when all the…
[ QUOTE ] Actually Im seeing a divide here between people who as kids knew the original premise and those who only knew of re-runs or (worse) rewrites. (This is in no way a absolute separation however) [/ QUOTE ] I think you're seeing the divide here between people who treat the original show as the Divine Gospel of the…
[ QUOTE ] But i'm actually more of a unified theorist when it comes to quints / unicron and moreso a quint fan. I think for a live action film a unified theory could somehow tie both lineages in while making both entities equally as powerful as they were portrayed in the toons / comics. [/ QUOTE ] Brut please stop. With…
I SAW IT NOW TOO OMG!!! I realized at the end of the movie that i had completely forgotten about the CG, which is a good thing, very well done. Things i didn't like, like others i guess : Fight scenes, shaky BS. Unless you know Brawl from the movie toy, you'll have no idea how he looks as a robot at the end of the movie. I…
