Live action transformers?

[malform]

Sweet! I love those pictures!

I havent done any image searching in a while. Those are so great.... Man I cant wait to see this movie.

[superflytnt]

This movie is going to be SO fat....can't wait until it pops up on Mininova . org

[teh0chunky0munkey]

;D :)Man, I can't wait until that movie comes out!!!

[malform]

The list of robots to appear in the movie. From what I could hear anyway... Dang thing kept going in and out.

Optimus
Bumblebee
Jazz
Ratchet
Iron hide

megatron
Starscream
Brawl
Bonecrusher
Frenzy
Barricade
Blackout
Scorponok

Does it seem like the autobots are outnumbered?... And really, outgunned?

Heh... They answered a question about the number of decepticons vs. autobots... Essentially, they were trying to build an underdog feeling. Those were my word, not theirs.

Alright! Characters I actually remember from the 80s cartoons. I am one happy dude!

I'm glad to see how excited most of you guys seem to be about this. I can't tell how tired I am of hearing people whine about it not being exactly like G1 (especially people on the Transformers only forums). They act like all they want to see is a 3D version of G1 episodes, which, while it would be cool to see those characters in a live action environment, it would only end up making more people angry because it'd be just a boring re-hash of scenarios that already happened.

And on top of that, I REALLY hate it when they say something like "ohhh, if Soundwave's not a cassette player, there's no way I'm paying to see that crappy movie", when we all know darn well that regardless they, just like almost every other TF fan, will be in line to see it on opening day.

I think it would be dumb as heck if soundwave was a boombox in the movie. At any rate, I didnt hear soundwave announced as one of the characters in the movie. But frenzy IS.... I dont know what he transforms to, my video feed kept going out, but Im really doubting hes a cassette.

The coolest thing about the movie is they are going for REAL looking tranformation, and therefor objects that could really turn into a 30 to 50 foot tall robot. I mean if soundwave was a stereo hed be what, 3 feet tall? Like that would stand up to optimus prime. heh

You know, thats the thing that always bugged me about G1, megatron would transform into a gun thats small enough for starscream to hold in his hand, but in robot form hes just as big as starscream, who turns into a jet.... Who in their right mind would want to see a real life version of that anyway?

Testy Testy!!! I watched LOTR and was disappointed that old Tom wasn't in it, but it still was entertaining. I'd LOVE to see soundwave in it (especially because I LOVED that synthesized voice in the cartoons) but really, it's the chickenhawk cassette I liked the most, because it was one of the few I could transform!

It's been a while since I was last on any of the forums with all those whiners, but that was the last big thing they were crying about. I guess now since the character list has been released, they don't have to worry about Soundwave.

I can understand their wanting to see soundwave in the film.. I mean soundwave has got to be in the top 10 of peoples favorite decepticons. But thinking he should be a direct conversion to the big screen and be a radio, thats just stupid.

The writers also tried to answer the "why isnt XXX in the movie?" question that Im sure a ton of people have. They said they didnt want to cram a bunch of robots in the movie for no other reason than just having them in the movie. So essentially I guess, if they couldt think up a way to make them actually useful to the story, then they wouldnt add them in the background just to make fans happy. But heck, it just leaves that many more that can be pulled in on the sequels.

PRIME!!

[malform]

That Prime is at least 12 kinds of awesome.

Im having a hard time imagining these transforming though. Where did the big grill go?

[Penguin]

My only complaint is there a little to exposed for battle, and they don't look like the guys from the shows. I think they were going for a alien look, you gotta remember Transformers are aliens.
