The problem is Michael 'Explosionsaresexy' Bay. If a film insults my inteligence at least make it funny.
Transformers 4 Will Star New Transformers
- Thread starter The Wooster

Im not sure how I feel about Hasbro at the mo...
By embracing the fan base and keeping the eps easily accesable on sites like Youtube theyve created alot of good will, at least with me.
But then theres this... *sigh* I suppose it couldn't get any worse and he did say less humans... don't know if I trust him.

I was not actually bothered by the aesthetic (although the recent games show how much better they could be), I was more bothered by their annoying behaviour. They are supposed to be a part of a technologically advanced race, but they are a pair of blundering idiots, purely included for supposed comic relief. They are the Jar Jar Binks of Transformers.Wicky_42 said:You know, it wasn't until you posted that picture, I'd never really properly understood the complaints about the bayformers' aesthetic... after actually looking at those two for a minute it's pretty obvious what a fucking mess the designs are - just a jumble of polygons with no cohesion, rhythm or style. Impressive to be able to fuck up giant robots right from the get-go - who on the design team looked at these and went "yeah, that looks awesome!" ?Legion said:Good job I scrolled up before pressing post, you said exactly what I did.The Human Torch said:
Although if this is the kind of logic that leads to them creating new characters, just to sell some toys (as opposed to making the actual film good) then it's an idiotic idea.
At any rate:
I think that's the crucial issue. If you are going to make a popcorn flick with no ounce of intelligence then it still needs to be entertaining.Evil Smurf said:
There was a certain element of humour in the first one, but the second and third it was just idiotic. The little robot leg humping, the giant robot having balls made from the demolition vehicle, the Section 7 guy always appearing in his underwear, it's just sad.
Yup. I'm a Transformer collector, and I've got a few of em.loa said:
I think Thew (a Youtube Transformer reviewer) said it best, "Movie suck doesn't translate to plastic suck". Some of the toys from the three movies are actually pretty awesome. Granted, there's alot of crappy figures in there (I haven't seen a single version of Starscream that didn't make me want to burn it), but guys like Megatron and Shockwave got really awesome figures. Hell, the Optimus Prime from Revenge of the Fallen is one of the best Primes in my collection.
OT: While I can't say that the new Transformers movie is going to be GOOD, I can say that it'll probably be alot more tolerable without the humans. And it'll be nice to see a toyline that isn't full of nothing but Prime, Ratchet, and Bumblebee.
But a Stretch Armstrong movie? A Stretch-freaking-Armstrong movie?!
Of course, because we all know that the kiddies love to watch robots urinating on famous actors, robot leg humping, dogs humping, Fembot rape assassins and a plethora of endless unfunny sexual and racist jokes.Dryk said:
Who the hell were these movies made for again? Because it obviously wasn't for kids, or for the fans of the original for that matter. Has anyone at Hasbro even SEEN these movies?
It'll still be an issue. As a kid I never saw the movie, being poor and in the boonies. For me one episode ended with Optimus and the next one started with Rodimus. I don't think I watched it much after that, though I don't remember why. Maybe it was because of the change, maybe it was because, well, Rodimus was kinda douchey.Space Jawa said:
(Much preferred Welker's Megatron voice over his Galvatron voice too.)

Don't forget the giant robot scrotum in Revenge of the Fallen!Tank207 said:
Also, these movies were made for people who fall into the category labeled "douche". The kind of people who enjoy looking at barely clothed 'babes', immature jokes and action scenes that could be replicated by emptying your cutlery drawer onto the ground an have an industrial lawn mower wreak havoc upon it.
You'd be surprised how large that target audience actually is.
All together now folks! UUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
Because that's what we need, no Optimus Prime! Remember that third season of G1 that replaced Optimus Prime with Rodimus? Remember how absolutely awful it was? Yeah, now add Michael Bay's abominations to all of this and we've got a cinema experience that's worse than a root canal without the painkillers.

There will always be Optimus Prime, 1987 taught Hasbro that, but Considering three films across ten years saw the same damned versions of Bumblebee, ironhide, Ratchet, and Starscream... yeah.
the Beast Wars Line was successful because it was diverse, more so then the cartoon.
fortunately Fall of Cybertron gave of some good things, Like Insecticons and Dinobots. seriously don't just make Grimlock, make all five of them!

From the sound of it, it could be like that current kiddy Transformers shows Recuse Bot but live action (well and removing their human partners).
Why do I get a feeling that these new Autobots are going to be very cartoony like? I mean I get the feeling the ultra detail designs that Bay went for wasn't aim for the kids in the first place.
