If that is true, I'm boycotting the second flick!

http://automotive-links.mustangv8.co...2009camaro.jpg Sorry, but this is badass!

He started off as a chinsy little AM/FM radio. Soundwave was a Boombox in the cartoon. I was a little disappointed myself.

No, it's not. It looks a lot like a vaccuum cleaner. I'd much prefer it if they just updated the original Camaro with new materials and left the design alone. THAT would be badass.

A vacuum? LMAO To each his own...

http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclec...enko-1969b.jpgThats a '69. It reminds me of this style. That is why I like it. I don't like Camaros in the "70s so much.

From what I read that it is one of the tapes from soundwave at least decepticon name wise was Frenzy which is what the little guys name was... Now soundwave wasn't in this one but his tape guy was...

That was not soundwave, that decepticons name was Frenzy.. Which by Transformers lore is soundwaves tape..



Don't worry you might still get to see Soundwave if they make another one...

YUP

I have to agree. And by the way, the movie rocked.

They had Bonecrusher and "Devestator"

See, I think that one looks WAY cooler.

I don't know. I mean, Megatron is supposed to be a gun.

Favorite Christmas present as a kid. We got to open 1 present on Christmas eve, and I happened to pick Megatron. I didn't care what I got the next day.

In the PC day and age I'm sure they purposely hid from the gun thing. Although my buddy brought up a point. Megatron had been frozen for tens of thousands of years, so he didn't get a chance to assimilate to human technology like the others did upon arriving on Earth.

I liked the movie alot, just got back from it. Hopefully there will be a sequel with much much more in it.

I don't know if they "hid" from the gun thing. They freaking killed people. I don't think guns had much to do with it.

Megatron has not been a gun for a very long time.. From what I have read it is because guns are frowned upon as child toys.. I don't think he has been a gun since the original series back in the 80's..

Yeah Soundwave better be in the next one maybe Starscream does a transmission like Optimus did and more Decepticons come down to get Megatron back somehow. But yeah Soundwave had a dog a bird and something else I can't remember. Oh and Valiant.. they're gonna make another one this movie is gonna pull in Spiderman bank.

Not so much for the movie but the toys they will be selling is the reason why he is not a gun.. The original megatron toy looked like a real gun from a few feet away... I don't think they want young children to see a gun in the house and think " cool, a gun I wonder if its megatron that my parents got me and play with it.."

Thats what I am hoping.. Will be interesting to see if they can make all their money back in the first week alone since they released Monday night.. Only needs around 150million... For some reason I think they will double it the first week, going to go see it again with some different friends..

I am a huge Harry Potter movie fan, I think they are amazing.. That said it is going to be damn hard to top Transformers this summer for a all around movie...

Overall for it's Monday night 8 pm showings and Tuesday showings it made 36.3 million dollars. Spidey 3 made close to 59 million on its opening day but that was a Friday. It'll be interesting to see the trend of it all over the weekend.

Its does, but the 2009 is designed with that style in mind. Just look at the grilles.

That's true.

Bay's reasoning for having Megatron transform into something other than a gun was that it would be like Vader transforming into a lightsaber. Someone else is required to "wield" them.

Um, yeah, that's how it worked. Usually Starscream or Soundwave held Megatron.

I realize that, and that's why Bay changed it, so that Megatron would not require another Decepticon to be around if he wanted to transform.

Did Bay say that? Because Hasbro hasn't let Megatron be a gun for a long time for safety reasons from what I have read...

ok I saw this today and loved it! I do wish they would have had a better story with the decepticons....actually I wish they would have focused more on a story with the transformers than the high schoolers. But I liked it, a lot of cool action and brought back some memories, some funny lines. I really thought it was funny when the kid.....whoa! I almost forgot about the spoiler thing

I'm going to have to disagree, I think they look awesome! and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one next year...and I'll tell the salesman that I want the awesome version of it, exactly like that.

Depending on the specs, I'm interested in obtaining one, too. That doesn't mean it isn't hideous, though ;) I'm one of those function over form people when it comes to cars, though.

Up until '74, they were still decent. The 67-69 models were still the best.

Bob Dole agrees with whoever suggested they ought to just re-create the Gen 1 with modern materials and tech.

Kind of like Dodge is doing with the Challenger.

:drool:

I need to keep a closer eye on this thread.

Just got back from the late showing and I have to say this was the best movie I have seen in at least 10 years. If you don't see this movie you are really missing out.

Question For The Transformer Informed ...

Near the end of the movie, when the cube thing transformed the coke machine and other items into transformers, why did those items all turn into the evil version of transformers beings instead of the good version of transformer beings? I assumed that, because their home planet was good until the megatron guy went south, the default version of a robot guy was "good" not "bad".

FAX

I am going to chalk it up to them not really thinking about it...

Well unless Megs somehow changed it permanently because when they were siphoning the power from it in the room all seem to be evil...

MICHAEL BAY STARED INTO MY SOUL AND KNEW JUST WHAT WOULD MAKE ME WEEP WITH JOY. IF MICHAEL BAY WERE A SCULPTOR, HE WOULD SCULPT TEN DAVIDS IN HALF AN HOUR AND THEN KILL MICHAELANGELO WITH HIS BARE HANDS!

When Iron Hide was commenting "why should we help the humans, because they are a primitive species who innately want to destroy themselves" then Optimus then comments "Were we so different?"
This could be refering to how transformers when they were first created were mindless or primal being which objective was to survive until they "evolved" concerning there intelligence.

Those explanations all make good sense. Thanks guys.

I have to tell you that, as one of the non-transformed, I thought the movie was great. Not as good as the new Die Hard, but well worth the price of admission and more.

I imagine that if you were familiar with the "history" or back story, you would appreciate it more. But, they pulled it off for the uninformed, so they get a minus three p*ssy fart rating from me and that's real good.

FAX

FAX THE ICKY

I saw it on Monday with my friend who proclaimed it best movie of the year aside from Grindhouse. He said it was better that Die Hard 4.

I think some of the action scenes seemed kind of jumbled. I couldn't tell what was what in some of the fights. That being said, this has some of the best special effects I have ever seen. When Barricade the cop car transformed in less than half a second, I started clapping.

I felt sorry for Bumblebee at times, I really did fell bad for him

So you liked Die Hard? I heard it wasn't very good so that is why I haven't went and watched it,

Anyway I am not or never was a big Transformer guy, I had a few of those, but never really got into it like I did with Star Wars.

I don't know who you talked to, Mr. dirk digler, but I'll tell you the honest truth. We went to a double feature on the 4th before fireworks and saw Die Hard, then the Transformers movie. I wish I'd seen them in reverse order because I would have enjoyed the Transformers more. Everyone in my group loved Die Hard. John McClain (sp?) kicked booty.

In my humble opinion, it was excellent. Great action and effects, good character development, very funny, exciting, all that and more. I will buy the movie as soon as it comes out. A minus four p*ssy fart rating.

FAX

Thanks Mr. Fax. I will definitely go see it because your minus four pussy farts rating inspired me.

Did you like the first Die Hards, Mr. dirk digler? If so, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

FAX

I loved them especially the first one. I was excited about the new one until a couple of my friends said it was just ok.

It's strange that your friends and I are so far apart on this one. I thought this was, by far, the best one yet.

By the way, did you know that one of the main terrorist thugs in the first Die Hard was a Kansas boy from Greenbush (unincorporated town) in SE KS?

FAX

Not really everyone has different tastes.

I am taking your advice though and I am going to see it so you better be right or else.

:p

hey BTW I see the new Bourne is coming out the first weekend of August. Now I really love the Bourne series and I hope this one lives up to the first 2.

Other than the Transformers fan service moments, which were pretty ****in awesome, the movie was pure shit.

I disagree with some of this guy's points, but for the most part he was spot on:

http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/33228

Some choice quotes:

I hope the next one isn't as corny and that they focus more on the Transformers period. The movie did have so many flaws that I don't think it will quite make classic status. Hopefully the next one will.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

:spock:

Needs....more....Megan.....Fox.............

http://www.pestaola.gr/images/megan_...6_calendar.jpg

Someone needs to buy my collection of first generation vintage Transformers.

That is no doubt! It's a shame she's with that clown Brian Austin Green from 90210.

Shows her IQ....but i bet she's a good **** easy.

Unfortunately i was out voted 2-1 and saw Ratatouille.

I can't recommend the film, kind of ho-hum, nothing special. Most of the movie i spent thinking that the Transformers was in the next theater. :(

saw transformers last night. i expected it to be all explosions and car chases. let down is something i'm not. holy crap, great frickin movie. the plot is pretty simple. unsuspecting juvenile finds out he's got something the bad guys want, good guy shows up to save him, must get rid of what bad guys want. the humor and excitment, and the joy of seeing three story robots duke it out made up for the canned plot. this movie is incredible, and i can't wait to see it again.


:toast: here's to transformers two.

I am going to see it tonight. Only reason I am going on a Friday night is because of YOU GUYS telling me how bad ass it is. If it sucks, it's Chiefsplanet's ass!!

Great freakin movie. I just saw it. As soon as it hits DVD I'm buying it.

Think I'll buy the game this weekend.

She's got his name tatoo'd right above her cooch.

Let's see here -

Young? Check.
Hot assed hot? Check.
Up and comer in Hollywood? Check.
Hooked up with a has been/borderline never was? Check.
Chances she'll dump his ass in the near future? Very good.
Chances she'll have to get Turlington's Lower Back Tattoo Remover (and hope it works in the front)? 99.9%

You say that like it's a bad thing. Giving her a Mensa test is the furthest thing from my mind when I look at this picture. :drool:

Not a major nitpick, but a major irritation, mainly because I can't resolve it, it just doesn't make any sense.

If you're making a chick a 'grease monkey' why show us an engine with a Weber 8-pack and HEI ignition then have her comment on the sweet 'high rise double pumper' and surmise that the problem was a 'loose distributor.'

It's just BEYOND lazy, it's like taking extra effort to be totally wrong after all the effort of putting together an engine that you could make plenty of cool observations about.

"OK, I want production to give me a rocking engine that the girl is going to show her mad skillz by diagnosing, but I'm a writer, not a DAMN mechanic, so don't tell me anything about what you produce, I'll just write some buzzwords and nobody'll notice how up my own ass I am.'

ROFL

You know, I noticed that too but didn't really think anything about it.
Now that you mention it though, that is pretty ghey.

It's like a 'brilliant surgeon' glancing into someone's chest cavity and remarking 'there is copious halitosis in the vas deferens.'

You just answered your own question. Plus, the majority of "regular joes" watching the flick wouldnt know the difference anyways.

I would've never caught that. I don't know crap about that stuff. But I understand the hate. I typically get that angry during football movies, or historical movies, which are typically chock full of anachronisms.

It's not so much that they got it wrong, but that it'd probably entail LESS work to get it right than flinging random shit.

Either ask the prop guys to get them an engine with a 'high rise double pumper' and a distributor cap, or ask the prop guys 'what's the deal with this engine. Or they could pick an observation/diagnosis that wasn't so incongrous with what's on screen.

It's like establishing that someone's an art expert by identifying the Mona Lisa as a Matisse watercolor.

Also, for a distributor to be loose, there'd have to be one of these;

In the center back of the engine, with wires coming out of it.

How I know you're teh ghey - you actually HEARD what Megan Fox said in that scene.
