YAWN
-
when the movie's made
-
Hell yeah.
-
Looked more like puttering to me.
-
i keep getting a message saying "sorry there was a problem retrieving all the data for this content"
-
it's a pontiac solstice. everyone knows that. come on now.
-
yeah that's right, I said MEH! Wake me up when there's explosions.
-
This movie is going to suck.
-
not a porsche. Apparantly Jazz is a paralegal.
-
'reviews' for this? I can't wait for the animation of Harry turning into a tape deck and his apologist review which will more than likely lead to a slew of howling outrage and bannings. Bring it on.
-
"That's a Transformer too, huh?"

...for this content." Brilliant. Cheers.
-
That's all I have to say about that right now.
-
Yup, that fits the character. Way to go, nailin' that one on the head with your decision, Mr Bay. =P
-
So does the other sportscar. Is this the fast and the furious or something?
-
i'm going back to the megatron TB.
-
Those streets look a lot like how L.A. looks every damn day, we have potholes the size of elephants in the downtown area. Remember that Batmobile video we got where the BM was tearing ass through the streets of Chicago? Now that was cool news, this is just a traffic report.
-
...Is give him a shiny, silvery paint job, instead of that dull smokey steel look. Jazz is supposed to be a flashy character. (Oh yeah, I forgot, he's a robot so we've gotta make him look like he's a kit pieced together in Metal Shop class.) And Ratchet is a yellow Hummer.... I know I haven't been watching the news as much as I should, but when did yellow Hummers become common emergency vehicles? The decisions in this movie have been brought to you by the letters M, E, T, and H. =P
-
Face it folks this movie will make you long for the Fantastic 4 and that my friends is not a good thing.
-
WOW those transformers look like cars!!!!
-
Can someone who knows more about this stuff explain to me why they are using an $80,000 Porsche Chayanne as a camera rig?
-
Why does Holly Wood insist on finding beloved properties and then removing everything that fans love? But wait, Then they complain when people don't show up and give excuses why it's our fault. Because it's our fault that Superman under preformed. It will be our fault when this does the same. Heaven forbid Holly Wood looks in a mirror.
-
Anyone else having problems?
-
What? The Germans won't let us use the Porsche or the Beetle for this movie?! A Pontiac Soltice? Whatever I guess. But why the fuck doesn't Bay use an actual miltary Hummer for Ratchet instead of one of those ridiculous Yuppie/Gangsta/TrophyWife H2 versions? Gods he's a douchebag.
-
They also blame the people who download the movies ! they are evil folk to hollywood.
-
... This will not be the last time they ruin a good thing. I can see it now. It's your normal New York City afternoon. A man is walking down the street when up in the sky a red siganal lights up the sky. The man runs into an alley where he morphs into a man-panther. he runs twoards the camera as he pulls out his nunchucks. The screen goes black and you see, Thunder Cats the Movie, summer 2009. This trailer will be attached to transformers. just watch.

-
Why is he so intent on using flames on an icon that is already designed for him?
How the fuck do you call a character bumblebee when he transforms into a Camaro?
Why does Megatron look like GUYVER and not like Megatron?
Why does he say he wants to make the best movie for fans yet totally ignores these legit and simple questions? -
Okay once I changed my connection speed to high. I can now see the video.
Thoughts
That is most definetly a Pontiac Soltice. I'm trying to figure out how someone said it is a porche.
But all in all, my thoughts are the same as Superzario, right now.
No need for me to repeat what he said. -
See my post. Holly Wood takes things that are popular and when they are unable to understand why they're popular (because they are tools) They just do their own thing with the license.
-
M. Bay: "Tranformers? What's that?" Jackass 1: "Sir things transform, fans love it" M. Bay: "I don't get it" Jackass 1: "It's OK sir we'll just turn stuff into robots and the fans will love it." M. Bay: "Cool." Fans: "WTF!?!"
-
I once stated that all the fans should get together and for a union. A union that will prevent poor decisions and bad ideas. Our voices will be united, and that single voice could make or break the movie as people will begin to listen to US, not stuffy movie critics with a dictionary. Then WE will have the power.
-
Cars....
-
I realize it's still early in this talkback, but I expected a lot more vitriolic bitching and moaning from you haters. You chumps are getting lazy.
-
This is going to be one lengthy General Motors commercial.
Is Michael Bay aware that there actually is SOURCE MATERIAL? -
We call it AUDIENCE and we measure its approval or disapproval for any given project using something that we call BOX OFFICE. A union cannot (okay, maybe I'm overreaching, but...) prevent poor decisions or bad ideas and, in fact, quite a case could be made that unions are responsible for just as many poor decisions and bad ideas as managers and entrepreneurs (you know, the guys who actually provide the capital to complete a project instead of just arm chair quarterbacking;-)). Besides, when you ever seen three fans not give FIVE different opinions?
-
Fact is there were awesome alternatives, but if GM can pay them to put a Camaro concept in the movie...then hell, Optimus Prime's penis should be a goddamn giant Red Bull can.
-
hear that guy 'that must be a transformer'... I would be having fits picking out the transformers, and imagine fuckin optimus pull up and drive right by you... i'd make a mess in my pants for sure. (that's right up there with the guy who caught some of the filming for batman begins... 'holy fuck its fucking batman')
-
Meh. Whatevah.
-
how can they make this movie with a straight face. i thought it was "robots in disguise." "hey whats that giant bright yellow and red hummer doing here." the vehicles they are using suck. Bumblebee should be a small POS car. Starscream should be an F15. and for GOD's SAKE make Optimus red and get rid of that redneck paint job.
-
Michael bay puts on thrilling action flix... transformers isn't exactly shakespeare so deal with it. If he wants flames, different cars, whatever... who gives a shit. It means those companies are giving him more money for him to use their vehicles in his film thus making it a better film by giving it a larger budget so stfu.
-
Im picturing something a little more...I dunno..a little more influential. When a director decides to make a poor decision, like putting flames on optimus prime. The union could decide (maybe vote)if this is a positive decision or negative. If negative , our voice would thunder down on that poor decision as people will listen to our united voices. Negative hype will grow thanks to our opinions and people will begin to see the "fans" reactions carry far more weight than some tomatometer.
-
Yes because we ALL know Larger budget means better film.
-
In a movie based on a TOY? The mind boggles.
-
...in this country, first you get the money, then you get the power. Then you get the women. You want to skip the money part and use the power to change a movie about toys? Where the fuck are you from? On that note and in the spirit of all the way out, wacky shit involved in this movie, I would like to nominate Pacino as Jazz, doing his Scarface shtick. ""Issokay, Optimus. That was notheeng. Back on Cybertron...I keel a Decepticon fo fun." Has anyone tried to trill their "r"s while saying Cybertron? It's fun.
-
i have no problem with creative changes and decisions for a valid reason. Bay has no reason for changing anything. yea i understand VW wouldn't offer the license to use a VW bug. then choose something else thats "similar." Bumblebee was a small, slow, weak POS. and now he's a fast sleek muscle car. WHY?? how bout a director having the BALLS to saying fuck the money i want to make a really good movie! like that will happen...but i can dream.
-
and it turned out awesome... whatever though, that's not my point. My point is, stop bitching. Micheal bay has gradually been getting better at his filmmaking. So what if he didn't use original vehicle specifications for the transformers. Big deal. As long as it's an entertaining movie, gives out a few nods to the fans, and grosses enough for a potential sequal so the fans can get their movie (sort of like how X2 catered more towards the fans) ...... Further, WTF HAVEN'T WE SEEN ANY NEWS ON SPIDERMAN 3 IN A WHILE? ARE THE PIPES THAT DRY? I just heard they're doing reshoots cause audiences found it to be lacking of action scenes... come on AICN GIVE US SOME SPIDEY NEWS.....
-
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
How is this "cool news"? It's a friggin Hummer and Solstice driving around. It's not quite the same as seeing Spider-Man between shots during a filming. I just can't get excited about news like this. Meh.
-
Heres a link to download the script - http://ez-files.net/download.php?file=ae4a0425
-
Sorry to go off the Transformers topic (video's not working for me anyway) but I doubt very much Spider-Man 3's had test screenings this early - hell, considering how secretive they're trying to keep the plot I doubt there be any sanctioned test screenings at all, especially considering how confident everyone is about the film. Besides considering the amount of money Spider-Man 2 took despite a huge lack of action scenes in the first 3/4's of the film, I doubt they're about to pull everyone back if Spider-Man 3's lacking. Finally, they seem to have packed the film with more plotlines than it can handle anyway, trying to squeeze an action scene in this late just for the sake of having another one seems like complete bullshit. I'm not ripping on you at all jabberwookie, just the rumour you read. Internet bollocks.
-
Wow, now that I've seen a Transformer in motion, I totally change my opinion. Those look absolutely perfect! And so real! Don Murphy was right!
-
What a load of crap.

-
This summer... there's no escape from... the 15 MPH SCHOOL ZONE! We've got four gears, but we're giving you nothing but #1!
-
for the camera rig??? Ummm... Yeah... That makes perfect sense. Just not to me.
-
I've decided to quit arguing with you morons. Just keep gnashing your teeth and beating your breasts, the producers of this film will NEVER bow to your wishes! BWAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Man! I can't WAIT for this movie!
-
... but even so, I don't need to see it to know it's shit. This whole film is fucked, the designs for the robots are completely terrible. I intend to tell as many people as possible not to see this film.
-
So it's ok that Bay is shitting all over all of your memories. Just kidding. I do think, however, that this flick will probably deliver the goods in terms of insane car/robot action, and don't really see the big deal with "updating" the vehicles a bit. But, then again I'm not a hardcore fan... but then AGAIN... when was the last time hardcore fans were EVER pleased with a film adaptation?
-
But it wasn't jazz and ratchet, it was bumblebee! Come on guys you're getting your hoaxes mixed up!
-
and wait for a real preview to decide if I'm going to see this movie or not. I was put off by the designs at first, but they've started to grow on me. I wonder how many people would hate this movie no matter what the designs were (unless they were exactly like the cartoon of course). Transformers is one of the few cartoons from my childhood that I can still watch without realizing how embarrasingly bad it is (at least until every episode was a commercial for a new toy). I don't have a ton of confidence in Michael Bay which is why some of the scepticism is warranted, but at least give them until the first full preview before declaring it the worst movie ever. Because of the Snakes on the Plane debacle I'm sure producers have now realized that the internet does not make or break a movie. This means that for better or for worse bitching and complaining on the internet will have little impact in Hollywood.
-
Jazz is a Pontiac Solstice roadster with a hard top. http://tinyurl.com/zhm2g
Ratchet looks like a toy truck. GM owns the Hummer brand. Can we assume that most of the cars in the movie will be GM brands? Unfortunately, Bumblebee is going to be the New Chevy Camaro. http://tinyurl.com/9pmcf -
Not bad. Michael Bay all over, in the best and worse sense. I only read the first 70-or-so pages. Optimus turns up on page about 62. Megatron hadn't showed up at that point.
-
or is it the site? I couldn't watch crap. I heard a guy asking if that was a transformer. I hope that is not part of the script.
Me: G1 fan.
Changes: at first I thought: pprrrtttt!!! but now I want to believe that the movie is going to be good (except for mega-crap-shitface-pinchi-mierda-tron, this is what the iron giant's crap would look like, if he crapped).
I'll just lower my expectations to the floor and hope for the best. Overall, I am glad a transformoretoys movie is being made. -
It's totally amazing.
-
Let's face it. GM needs all the help it can get. Giving drivers the impression your product can change into a giant robot and kick the snot out of whoever's about to hit your car might be the next car-as-penis-enlargement craze.
-
...I would've thought the same thing about the trunk monkey campaign, but now I can't even remember who those ads were for.
-
but who the fuck was asking for this to be made in the first place? And who the fuck wanted this to be made by a hack the likes of this guy? His movies suck ass.
-
I'm surprised they got that aspect correct... Actually, I didn't look at the video. Were they driving backwards?
-
MICHAEL BAY FUCKING LOST.
-
all the cars are Gm except Prime Jazz is a Pontiac Solstice a.k.a. Saturn sky,Ironhide is GMC piece of shite, ratchet is a Micheal Bay a.k.a Hummer, and bumble bee is a 72 Camaro, and a concept camaro that has been okayed yet but i guess this pretty much guarantees it.
-
That makes REAL sense......:(
-
..."share the love", sarcasticly pointing to the fact that no-one at AICN will comment on the putrid mess this film is becoming, and the fan's vitriol at said mess. These have been garnering HUGE talkback threads, and NOTHING of worth from you guys. SHAMEFUL.
-
Assuming, of course, that the average moviegoer only wants to see special effects & things blowing up, rather than acting & scripting, plots, Transformers in a Transformers movie... basically, assuming the average moviegoer doesn't mind having his/her intelligence insulted by the filmmakers... or lacks the intelligence to be so insulted. This is what happens when people get into too much of a rush to make a movie, they get people who don't give a shit about it. Bay made it clear, in his latest interview that he doesn't care a rat's ass about Transformers - he just wants to make an alien invasion movie with "big, fuckin' robots". Soooo... why doesn't he just make a movie called Big Fuckin' Robots, change the characters' names to protect the innocent, and leave Transformers to a director who gives a fuck? This whole thing doesn't make any sense.
-
How the fuck is Jazz smaller and slower than Bumblebee?? Cant these cunts get anything right? For fucks sake....
-
I have the original Jazz toy sittin on my desk now and that video was for shit. Sorry but I agree with all the haters on this one. FUCK MICHAEL BAY!
-
Your ez-files link isn't working for me.
-
Being on-location looks like a nightmare of delays and hiring several people whose job it is to keep people out of frame.
-
this script sucks. The vehicles modes are the LEAST of this film's problems!
-
Sept. 2 they will be filming more of TF in Downtown LA from 6 am - 8 pm. They will be using Wilshire Blvd. between Figueroa and Grand.
-
just some more bullshit.
-
Not Firefox combatible? Then fuckoff.
-
go down to the filming location and ruin it. If Bay shows up, run him out of town. Fans of Transformers thank you in advance of your action.
-
Apparently it will look like all the other ones... wow!!! cars that blow up and flip over! sweet!
That could have been footage from the set of anyone one of his movies. -
GI Joe should be the first 80s toy-based nostalgia film. Fuck you Transformer bitches.
-
Probably not, but the world will at long last get a live action, big budget, giant, robot movie... I sometimes wonder about all the doomsday talk that people preach about.
-
Apparently they are less comfortable with black vs. white than autobot vs. decepticon.
-
wow man, tell me that's a transformer.
Thats a transformer too, huh?
-
Are people HONESTLY taking this film seriously? ...or, is just a few internet people causing a stir of hype?
-
Bludgeoned by the success of X3 and the failure of Singerman Returns, they are carefully playing their cards by way of exploiting this inevitable disaster scoop by scoop without offering a single opinion other than casual nods to fan outburst here and there. Well played, boys. Well played indeed.
-
footage of a grip sitting on a stoop drinking coffee. if u zoom in REAL close u can see his name is Dave... also, a c.u. of the back of Tyrese's head in a cafe, a gumrapper thrown asunder by the 1st assitant camera, and a w.s. of a cloud that sorta resembles a fish carrying a parasol.
-
They were actually going to make a GI Joe movie first, but then decided it wouldn't be "politically correct" to do so because of the War on Terror.
-
If he named it Big Fucking robots and brought his own pitiful ideas to life it would BOMB. So he takes a franchise that has a following which he KNOWS atleast has a lot of fans to pay admission and nose dives it into the ground bringing down a the remaining fans scraggling along with it.
-
...they should've used old/classic models from back when American cars were actually good. With the models they're using, I wouldn't be surprised if the Autobots ended up dying because of poor craftsmanship/quality control.
-
Why is everyone in such a hurry to see things they like be ruined by Hollywood?
-
And you'r right,veritas, they should've used classic cars, which have more personality anyway.
-
Shiny plastic sports cars and the like make the transformers seem like a bunch of rich-bitch, out of touch, elitist snobs. Why can't they have the working man's transformers? maybe a ford tempo, or an old civic hatchback. Antway watch this,

Second post ever. My tiny effort to keep this talkback going. Sorry, I only check in every few days...
I do have somewhat of an original thought though. I'm sure, based on my user ID, it will come as no surprise to learn that I'm a huge Starscream fan. You'd think ANY Starscream fan would be ecstatic about the current script. Hell, Starscream is apparently the only Decepticon to survive! I never thought I'd say this but, I'm utterly disappointed with this plot point. It isn't so much the fact that Starscream is the lone survivor of the Decepticons. It's that, based on the story, it's really meaningless. So much of Starscream's character is how he interacts with Megatron... and the other Deceptacons. How many lines do they (Starscream and Megatron) even have in this movie? It's about the same as Optimus and Megatron, right? Plus, they're both more alien looking than G1, human relatable. It's very disappointing. I suppose giving them more dialogue would take away from the "Oh so important" human plot line!!! I cannot express how utterly disappointed I am with the state of this movie. Do the producers realize that us "fanatical" fans ultimately represent what the casual fans are expecting of this movie? Sure, they may not be participating in various talkbacks but, I guarantee you, when they see the pictures of Transformers that they know and love as unrecognizable alien robots, there is a very good chance they're going to skip the movie altogether.
BTW - Do the Damage Control Plants on this, and the other Transformer, talkbacks realize how obvious they are??? I cannot see how any TRUE Transformer fan can possibly be happy with the storyline and Decepticon character designs of this movie. -
I guess they're building up the plotline for the impending clash between Starscream and Megs. Starscream leads for a while, Megs comes back, and assumes command. Starscream doesn't like it, and that's when he'll start to betray Megs.
-
There's a Ford Mustang in the film too...Remember?
Anyhow, who cares...you fans will NOT make or break this film.
Bunch of whiney idiots.
You are the cause of every war in history. -
I can understand why they've done some of the changes. Bumblebee as a Beetle would look awful (remember how bad the toy looked?). However they seemto have gone and changed things to such an extent the only thing tying into the TF is the characters names. There's little in the script (if its real) that makes you interested in any of the robot characters other than Bumblebee and he been turned into a Wreck Gar , TV talking style character. I doubt this film will be what I or many other older fans would have wanted but then it isn't being made for us.
-
and crying; but the video won't work
-
You aint missing much.
-
a different link?
-
it is going to make about One Hundred Bazillion Dollars on opening day. Why? Because of all of you loyal consumers of marketing nostalgia. It doesn't matter if its good or bad, you need to consume it. The producers know it; they already have your cold hard cash in their hands; its just a matter of counting it. Good for you for making sure there will be all kinds of terrible sequels thereby perpetuating your pre-raped childhood toy marketing fetish craziness ad infintium. Bay isn't raping your childhood; its already been raped by a nonstop child marketing media barrage. This is just insult to injury.
-
...it's not even in English?? Man, this script sucks...
-
Sadly you are right. I know full well that although the script looks awful and the characters are deeply flawed I will pay my hard earned cash just to watch big robots knocking the hell out of each other. Even if this movie completely sucks, it will make loads of cash, therefore justifying the production and ensuring that they will take other great ideas and doing exactly the same to them.
-
Superzario, you said that "we" a.k.a. TBers, fanboys, and/or fans were the reason Superman Returns didn't garner big numbers and that we will also decide if this movie is a success or not. Sorry, but you put too much faith into the "pull" of TBers and fanboys. Prime example: Snakes on a Plane. You guys created the "media sensation" of SoaP, and when it debuted, there was nothing but piss poor numbers. It'l make some money on DVD, but don't kid yourself. Tbers/fanboys do not make a significant dent on a film's box office either in a positive way or negative. The general audience is the majority and if they see a trailer with excellent effects, action, etc. then Transformers will kill at the box office, despite the petty nit picky bitchings of Transformer fans. I'm a HUGE Transformer fan, but I understand that things have to be changed for whatever reasons. As far as the script online goes, it's an old script people... dated. It is not the script that they are shooting with. When you look at earlier drafts of The Matrix or Star Wars, or ANY movie, they are DRASTICALLY different from the final product. So just relax and wait to see the flick. or at least the trailer.

This barely even registers on the "Meh" scale. For better or for worse.

MICHAEL BAY FUCKING LOST.

... today’s popular must have vehicles. I bet there will be a ton of high-end luxury vehicles used in the movie. (To play the parts of the transformers in their vehicle mode of course) We already see a Hummer H2 will probably be in the movie. That other car (The sports car) appears to be the all-new Mazda Miata. Wonder which transformer will be the Miata....hmmm, don’t know.... oh well. There will probable be a VW New Beetle, maybe a Lexus of some kind, a Lamborghini, who knows, they might throw a new Ford SUV in there somewhere! That would be a sight to see... a transformer turning into a 2007 Ford Expedition Limited SUV.
