Transformers the movie - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce that we have launched our own official Operation Sports app. It’s available on the iOS App Store and in the Google Play store:

For those of you who have been around these parts for quite some time, you might know we’ve had an app before, but the Tapatalk app was not “official” and was only a way to look at the forums on your phone. However, when the forums changed in any way, it would make that app a bit unwieldy/buggy.

It was still better than nothing, and we’re grateful it lasted as long as it did, but we did not have much control over it or ways to update it. With our own official app, we’ll be able to actually release app updates that can include new features and bug fixes.

On the app, you will be able to scope out both the front page and the forums. Since this is only the start of the app, we are aware of many known issues, particularly around the forums, and we plan to add more to it in the future based on your feedback. In addition, it may take a little longer than usual when you log-in for the first time, but it should not be the case after that initial log-in. With all that in mind, we’ll have a spot on Discord where you can provide feedback.

For example, I want to add more to the forums side of things so you all have more options when making posts and threads on the app, and I want you to more easily be able to navigate large threads with many pages of posts.

As always, we can’t do any of this stuff without you all, so thanks again for the continued support. This app along with the Discord are a couple of the steps we have taken recently to try and bring this community together in as many ways as possible, and we plan to deliver even more on that front in the months ahead.

With Peter Cullen providing OP's voice, I wouldn't worry. I'm gonna feel like a little kid again when I watch this movie.

That new trailer was SICK!

Seriously cool trailer

HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

Wow the new trailer is crazy. Optimus Prime transforming look pretty damn good. I'm right there with you guys man. It wouldn't be Transformers without the voices. They have to have personalities, not like those drones in War Of The Worlds

If the guys who did the voices(most notably Prime, Megatron, Starscream and Hot Rod) for the show are somehow in it, man I'll be there opening night too.

Re: Transformers the movie

Well, Chris Latta (Starscream) died, so I doubt he'll be reprising his role.

Frank Welker has sent in his audition tapes for Megatron, and he's in the lead to win the role. Sounds like he'll reprise his role, along with Cullen.

Cullen, however, is currently the only voice actor who's been confirmed.

It's rumored that Bumblebee may not have a vocal role, having had his voice systems ripped out. If true, he will communicate through his car radio.

Cullen won't be providing the voice to Ironhide, like he used to.

Also, Shia LeBeouf is signed on for two sequels. Soundwave and potentially Shockwave will be new major characters. Peter Cullen is in talks for returning for the two sequels.

I wasn't a big fan of any of the post Gen One Transformers stuff but I heard there was a guy that did Starscream's voice during Beast Wars that sounded a lot like Latta. Personally I wouldn't mind if they went a different route with
the Screamer. His voice can get grating at times.

It wouldn't be right to cast Cullen and not have Welker doing Megs' voice.

That makes sense to me right now. A long time ago there were fans saying the guy who played Neelix on Star Trek: Voyager would make a good Bumblebee because he could portray that caring yet "fish out of water" aspect of Bumblebee.

Not surprising really

Yeah, before they even started producing this movie it was slated to be a trilogy at the very least. As for Soundwave and Shockwave being major characters that's not all that surprising because in the comic book run (which a couple or so years ago I actually read all of online) they were BOTH significant for most of the Gen One run.

Re: Transformers the movie

Other than Prime, I think most of the old voices are throw aways. Megatron's voice just embodies 80's villains to me so I could take it or leave it. None of the other voices were really anything special and are easily replaced. As long as the personalities remain intact I'll be happy.

Re: Transformers the movie

They filmed a ton of this film about 150 yards from my work, I saw some spots showing my work place in the trailer. If I always took a digi camera with me to work I'd post pics, but I dont so I cant.

I saw Optimus parked, the yellow rescue hummer, and the black dually truck with the pipes coming out the bed. They also shut off a major street around 4 in the morning to film a scene.

The parts shot at my work is, the same place a ton of films are shot, ie: Bad Boys, Gone in 60 secs, Anchorman, Jackass, Be Cool (sequal to get shorty), Fast & Furious Tokyo drift, epis of 24 when I saw SWAT looking dudes rapelling from our 5th St. bridge.

That is the spot they film all this, in and around a warehouse under the 5th St. bridge in downtown L.A. I work about 150 yards or less from there and see them constantly filming. They always post messages on our front door to let us know when they are shooting and when.

It was cool to see the autobots in person.

It is on the corner sandwiched between Santa Fe & Mesquit (where I work) directly under the 5th St. Bridge going over the L.A. river. There are a ton of homeless there, and a ton of cops and a skiploader come to move them out every time it is time to shoot movies. That is almost weekly LOL.
