Transformers 4 Will Star New Transformers
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
But these are new kids, do kids these days even care about Transformers and Optimus Prime? They defineately don´t care about He-Man, power rangers, biker mice from mars or old-school turtlesShinsei-J said:
. Movies probably gonna suck no matter what so i don´t really care what they change, TF2 is one of the worst movies i´ve ever sat through, even worse than Manos hands of fate (atleast that one had the decency to be entertaining). If they changed directors and writers, then it might begin to look promising though.
They're not just complicated looking. I have a fair amount of them, as I have literally HUNDREDS of transformers across all eras from G1 up through Prime. And the one thing that stands out about the movie trilogy toys is they're just not as good. TO keep some semblence of movie accuracy, they are so very complex that...loa said:
#1: They're incredibly difficult to transform. I have enough experience that I can generally tell you step by step how to transform a toy without even taking it out of the package. But the bayformers toys are the first that I, at 26 years old, had to read the instructions to do. Kids don't want to have to get an engineering degree just to play with their toys.
#2: Once you do figure out how to get it into robot mode, there's no play value to them. Just off the top of my head I'll list off...oh, Air Raid from DOTM, Barricade from the first movie, and the twins from ROTF. Air Raid has elbows, but he can't even bend his arms. Barricade has arms that have a straight elbow and he can bend it, however his shoulder...pauldrons, I suppose would be the best word, are so big he can't move his shoulders. And the twins are so oddly proportioned with huge feet and chests that they can't even stand up right.
Parents and kids alike learned that the new toys sucked and stopped buying them. Once upon a time they focused more on the play value of the toy because that was what was important, not trying to replicate something on a screen. It might not have been 100% accurate, but what the fuck? Prime is Prime, every kid knows that even if his arms are a little scrawny or his proportions aren't quite right.
However, Frank Welker did not do the voice of Megatron in the movies. That was Hugo Weaving. And I think he was just as good if not better. i can't put his voice and the G1 megs together, since you just can't replace Welker in that role, but I wouldn't mind seeing him do more.Zachary Amaranth said:
Thankfully, those movies were not a part of my childhood and thus have absolutely no bearing on my statement. It was a statement of the prevalence of these two actors in my youth after someone spoke of Peter Cullen's awesomeness.ShadowKatt said:
For example:
What the hell is wrong with Hasbro?
I never watched that third movie, despite YouTube giving to unsuspecting Nexus 7 owners.
And Hasbro seriously thinks it's the robots that are the problem? Not the fact that the Autobots are barely relatable because they look like walking death-traps!!!
And Stretch Armstong, I always thought he was a joke I heard about.
I honestly don't know what else I can add to this...
I really don't

Prime will be in the film, same with Bee, the other Autobots however wont. Hasbro knows not to kill Prime off again, they haven't done it since the 1986 film, every other time he "dies" he either didn't really die and became stronger, or comes back in the same ep/movie.
Also the DOTM toy line i thought was quite successful, They had a lot of useless crap in that line, but it was a decent line none of the less.

The DOTM Seeker molds are good(Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp) possibly the best mold from the line, same with Roadbuster and Topspin.ShadowKatt said:
The Quickstrike Homage (Darksteel) is decent as well, even if it is a repaint of Sideswipe. (with a new head)
I admit some of the figures were stupidly complicated, but there were some decent figures within the line, and i liked Air-Raid :c however he is screaming for a Powerglide repaint.
