No no.. i said "30s". You are in your 40s, right? :D

nope, my 60s !

Agreed.


It needs a director such as Peter Jackson and a 5 hours running time. THEN i would stand in line for a ticket.:cool: :D

Orson Welles had such a great voice. It would be awesome if they had the old voice actors in the new movie, but I know it probably won't happen.

Optimus prime is going to be the original voice :)


If they decide to use a new voice for starscream i will be VERY happy.... Chris Latta did the same damn voice for all of his characters... that screechy cobra commander crap...


Oops, my bad... he died in 94 from a brain hemmorage. Dotn i feel like an ass...

not sire about the whole mars rooder thing thoogh.

What?

If you have suffered a blow to the head, get to the hospital and quit posting.

well, he did kind of warn us ... he IS crazy and he spelled his own name wrong in his nick :D

Bare in mind that the Mars stuff is appearing in a teaser, the purpose of a teaser is to get you exicted and let you know that a movie is coming. Will the idea of a Mars rover finding the Transformers is kinda like their coming to Earth. I don't think Mars will have a big role if any. Maybe the Transformers crash on Mars first then come to Earth. But then there was the rumor started b/c of the teaser that Mars might be the new Cybertron, but that would be ass and wouldn't make sense.

I agree that it would suck, but they could make it make sence. It wouldnt fit with how the story is supposed to go, but keep in mind that this is Micheal Bay. He really doesnt give a damn.

Did no one else notice that in the teaser mars' sky is blue?


It's red.... Lots of CO2 and Methane.....

havent you ever played any doom games?

i was too old for this stuff when it came out and missed out on it .

we do have a bunch of transformer toys though ..

be cool if the movie made them collectable..

I'm surprised they havent attempted a gobot movie yet.. they predate even transformers.

do you know all the different robot types ?

i think i have both .

transformers insignia looks sort of like a diamond shaped mask right ?

and gobots id a blue G with something in the middle ?

There were 2 for the transformerrs, autobots had one and decepticons had another, but your are pretty close, both looked alot alike and were somewhat diamond shaped. Gobots it dont think had an emblem.

well i have a couple of toys that have an emblem .. its kind of a big G with something inside ..

i tried to find it on the pictures i found of gobots and couldnt ..

i actually have a ton of these toys I'd like to identify .. 3 different major styles ..

once i finish sorting out all of the toys I'm going to post a million pictures and see if anyone can identify any of the ones I cant figure out ..

I actually have the Decepticon mask stenciled on my computer desk. I was thinking about getting the two different faces tattooed on each cheek of my ass. You know, the whole tragedy/comedy thing is really worn out....but how many people have Transformers on their ass?
Always going for originality. Plus, I plan on getting old and fat one day, and they could stretch into a whole robot.
That would be COOL.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, now. I liked Latta's uber-faggy interpretation of Starscream. Seemed fitting. I'm sad that he can't do this one. However, I'm super-happy that Cullen is returning.

I agree, for some reason it seemed to work but since I never had a previous idea of what Starscream could sound like I guess thats why I like it. I think this would be the same thing for Prime, when I hear the guy playing Prime on the Anime stuff it seems to work but its not the original Prime to me b/c I grew-up with the original voice and thats Prime'f voice to me.

An Update on the Transformers
Source: Michael Bay August 20, 2006

Michael Bay's official message boards Admin 'Nelson' has posted an update with info from Bay about Transformers:

1- They will be releasing more teaser posters in the coming months.

2- Paramount made studies and concluded that the TF "ANNOUNCEMENT" was the 2nd highest rated "teaser" this summer.

3.- They just finished shooting a lot of Pentagon interiors on a soundstage in scenes that involved many Chiefs of staff in their huge war room.

4.- Shia just was recently suspended over the edge of a 20 story building in a very dynamic and intense scene.

5.- The average transformation time from normal mode to alt mode and vice versa is about 3 to 4 seconds.

6.- The leaked pictures are legit (although a somewhat early rendering).

7.- Filming of massive chase scenes will begin in the following weeks.

8.- The CGI transformations by ILM are looking wicked and nastier every single day.

9.- Part 1 will be about why the transformers came to earth.

10.- This movie will be a new start for the live action franchise that will not be based on any particular TF TV series and/or comic book.

By the way, the top teaser of the summer was, of course... Spider-Man 3

...Uh what?

Point me to them!

Sweet, looking awesome.

optimus prime kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!

I surprised that no one has really made a comment about Megatron so here I go:

1) I know that he is going to be a tank rather than a gun which makes more sense but is he going to look anything like the original robot mode?

2) What the original actor's voice of Megatron, I feel that the voice perference should go all the way around for all of the characters.

Any thoughts?

Megatron looks like ass!

On the Transformers Set
Source: Heather Newgen September 8, 2006

In 1984, Japanese toy company Takara launched a new line of toys called 'Transformers," which was sold outside of Japan by Hasbro. The toy robots had the ability to convert themselves into cars, animals or aircrafts. The Takara toyline proved to be such a huge phenomenon that there have been Marvel comic books, animated series and a feature-length film based on the popular toys. And now, director Michael Bay is in the midst of shooting a live action Transformers film.

The movie is currently being shot in Los Angeles and while ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com was on set, Bay (wearing a t-shirt that read "Giant F**king Robots are Coming") was shooting one of the final scenes. While the studio has embargoed a lot of the set coverage, we can tell you that it's going to be a huge action scene, because the entire street (Broadway between 8th and 9th) in downtown L.A. was blocked off and there were a couple hundred extras.

As the extras walked up and down Broadway, Bay paced the street making sure the new Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Jazz were set and in place. There were camera cranes placed over the cars and at the end of the road were Styrofoam rocks made to look like concrete. It looked as though they had been blown up and two crashed cars were being loaded onto a tow truck.

There were men dressed in military uniforms standing in the middle of it all and unit publicist Gabriela Jutentag explained, "All the guys in military garb are all ex military. Real military, except of course Tyrese and Josh Duhamel. This is one of the scenes from the end of the movie so I don't want to tell you too much about it. Obviously when you see everybody looking up and you don't see anything up there, you can imagine what it is."

Even though the film is being shot in LA, the story never clearly indicates the location. "I don't think we've ever determined what city. Michael hasn't gone to any kind of length to disguise Los Angeles by any means, but I don't think there is a specific city. We're going to go out about the last week of production, we're going to go shoot in Chicago, Detroit, Boston, D.C. We're hopefully going to be the first movie that's actually going to go shoot at the Pentagon. We'll see though. It hasn't happened yet," Jutentag added.

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura wants to keep the story under wraps. "We really don't want to spoil the story. I know people are mad at us for it. We don't want people to be mad…What's the mystery by the time you get there. We're desperately trying to hold on to some elements of it…Entertainment depends to a certain degree. So if you're going to give away the surprise, then what's left?"

But he did say a lot of the mythology is incorporated into the film. "We like to think there's quite a bit of it. It had so many different iterations. That's what's complicated about it, is that which iteration do you think is the mythology and which one did you grow up with? That was the hard part."

Another hurdle in making the film was the human element of the story, di Bonaventura told us. "Because these things are amazing. The scale of them is so big. How do humans play out? I'm sure as part of Jurassic Park's issue. You start falling in love with the dinosaurs. But like, what about the people.? In a way the Transformers work themselves out, but how do you make sure the people have an equal role?"

All Tom DeSanto, another producer on the film, said about the story is that "the characters have a lot of heart and soul. They're great characters… The robots are great. When you see this stuff you're going to go, 'I've never seen that before in my life.' And you're going to believe it. You're going to believe that that truck or that car is actually standing there. But, you're going to care and that's the key."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the fuck is this bull shit! Human parts, who gives a flying rats ass about the humans. Even in the cartoon the humans were like a meat by product, a reason for the Autobots to be heroes. Then he compares this movie to Jurassic Park. That is a totaly different situation, Dinosurs can't talk they just eat people, the Transformers can talk and have personalities, can't compare. And the comment about "That's what's complicated about it, is that which iteration do you think is the mythology and which one did you grow up with? That was the hard part." Nobody cares about the other iterations, we only want Generation One!

Someone made a comment on another site about the Decepticons looking like alien bugs, "do they think that the audience is really that dumb that they can't tell whos bad or good that they have to completely change the design of the Decepticons?"
Bay stop butchering this movie!

Calm down you crazy fan-boy!

Ive never been a real die-hard Transformer fan, but Ive always liked them to some degree. Personally, I like the direction this is going, and I think Megatron, despite looking alot different, looks AWESOME!

I just feel that a movie based on an established media should not drift far from the original concept, i.e. Spider-Man, it had slight differences in the story and origin of the characters but it stayed fairly true to the original concept.

My view is that I was excieted about this movie simply b/c I wanted to see Optimus and Megatron go head to head. But with Megatron looking so different it won't be the same. I can't picture a sinister voice coming from an alien insecet thing. I think that even if they would have gone with a Beast Wars or Transformers: Cybertron look that I would have been happy.

John Rogers on Transformers
Source: Newsarama September 22, 2006

John Rogers, who wrote the first draft of the Transformers script, talked to Newsarama about the movie. Here's a clip from the article:

Yep, I wrote the first draft. I've seen the shooting script, and it's about half and half. They've moved one of the storylines a little earlier, and they've increased the big military aspect, whereas I had focused on some of the smaller, personal stories. Yeah, you know, I get a credit, we'll see. We'll see what it looks like eventually. It goes from me, to the other guys, who work quite extensively with Michael Bay, so using what he needs to get his vision across. The characters are the same, the rough plot's the same, and I've seen the mock-ups of the battles and it's gonna be frickin' huge. It'll be a lot of fun to see.

Transformers hits theaters on July 4.

That's great, I love it!

why the hell is transformers on here!? the only thign scary abotu it is the idea of makin a movie of it.I know everyone likes different things but WHY is it on here: HORROR.com not fiction fantasy.com

We like other things and movie other than horror... to be that one dimensional would make me cry.

Why does the Sci-fi channel play fantasy and horror? Because enthusiasts of a particular genre tend to like things from related genres.

Good point.

but there is a fine lien between halloween and transformers...

...no there isnt.

More like a yawning chasm.

I always wanted to say that. Yawning chasm. Yaaawniiing chaasm.
Woo hoo.
