Re: Transformers the movie

and are made of really poor quality. I bought my nephew Megatron for Christamas and thought I was going to break the thing it felt so cheaply made.

If you want a good Transformer you have to pay about 100 bucks now. Though they have a line of them that are pretty much the definitive Transformers, but so far only the Optimus Prime has been released stateside. They'll likely have issues with Megatron since he transforms into a convincing looking handgun:

Re: Transformers the movie

I think I'll go see this in the theaters. Trailer looks promising.

The only other must see movie this summer is Rush Hour 3. Not sure if i want to go see Balls of Fury.

Re: Transformers the movie

Gotta agree with the poor quality of the current Transformer toys....went with my 5 year old to TRus and wow...cheap plastic...cheap price...ended up getting the special edition OP for around $60...like the "old school" ones, die cast metal..can handle a 5 year olds playing with...he loves it.

Come on now you know you bought it for yourself and not the kid. I did the same thing at TRus for my 5 year old. lol The die cast is just better made, I hate that plastic.

my brother has the Optimus and Starscream ones....he bought them in Japan when he went on vacation....they are a thing of beauty..especially Starscream..

Re: Transformers the movie

I've seen pictures of the Starscream one and he is awesome looking, but the Japanese version had a different color scheme. The American release is supposed to have his Gen 1 colors. I'm curious if Megatron will get a US release. They're so strict about toys these days, when the Prime one got released Hasbro insisted on replacing the chrome smokestacks with short plastic ones. Megatron will probably end up bright orange and purple.

Starscream:



The kid in me thinks these things are spectacular, my wallet needs a lot of convincing though.

Re: Transformers the movie

I just finished looking at some character screens:

And I must say that I'm absolutely disappointed on how the characters in robot form turned out. I just don't know why they couldn't resemble the G1 Transformers...even a little bit.

Agreed. They always find a way to kill a pure classic.

Why not consult with the people who made the toys or the actual cartoon

I concur, they look a bit to high tech when the originals were simple and you could tell what vehicle they were in robot form. Now, they make them to appear almost scary in a way.

Re: Transformers the movie

the thing is guys these are robots from space...theres no way your going to have a robot looking like it came straight from Japan...i was a bit disappointed when the first pics got leaked out but the more i think about it how would you portray a sentient being coming from space let alone a robot one...they gotta have that alien look to them and i think they did a fantastic job portraying that

Just as long they have their personalities and voices (which we will have since Cullen and Welker will be providing the voices of the main characters) then its going to be bliss hearing Optimus and Megs in a live version of themselves.......

Re: Transformers the movie

in spite of ALL that... I'm still gonna watch it
