sigh, no matter wat ppl flame here....almost all of u gonna watch the movie in the big screen anyway

depends..


it doesnt look too bad,after visiting the site pirateguy posted

optimus looks better.

Hey guys, give it a benefit of doubt lar...
judge it sucks or good after you've watch it on big screen, it's too early to judge how good is a movie based on the design
remember Casino Royale? Everyone was bashing Daniel Craig after he was cast as 007, but turn out he fitted quite well in the new bond movie

The trailer are awesome
btw, are scorpionox suppose to be that small?? all the while I tot scorpionox is a big mama decepticon?

Here's to hoping. Looks like they've improved on the Optimus design. Hope they've done the same for the others.

yeah... duno why they made scorponok so small... in one series he was as big as fortress maximus.... but what worries me d most is that there's rumors he's just a *shock* drone

hey guyz..i can't recall the name of transformer in japanese series...where the 2 robots can be merged together become more powerful at last part......I think that series was 13 years ago aired in tv2.....anybody still remember it??

the only merging robot i can think off is the constructicons merging to form the devastator...that was the earliest merging robot if im not mistaken...


saw the new trailer...everything looked fine although still not that fond of megatron in his alien like form...

that one is US series...where I think 4 of them merged into giant robot..I'm talking about Japanese series.....where this 2 robots are the big boss....one of them who looked like a Syberian type of tiger from "ice age" ....can transform into tiger, plane and when he merged with another one....his transform into wing and leg attached to another.....

Star Sabre?

V for Victory?

I think I remember ... that was sooooo long ago ..

It is Transformers : Vitory. This is the series I like the most.

yeah right........ they could always use Binaltech / Alternators design.

now wouldn't that be nice? cars of today + transformers, awesome man. TF&F + TF = F&F (Fun and Furious!!!)

the old look is not cartoonish either. just go youtube and do some search on transformers and you'll see some nice ones.

heck look at what one of our local talents did.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/382263

yup, looks like based on Binaltech moulds......which were some what based on the original G1 moulds.

I like the updated designs of the transformers. A correct decision.

It will be silly to use the old G1 designs as they are not exactly logical and porpotional when compared to the transformers in vehicle mode. Remember Megatron being such a huge *ss robot tranforming into a small gun? (doesn't make much sense). They things they transformed into are also outdated and most of the vehicles are not even in production anymore.

As with any Hollywood adaptation, changes will need to be made, themes or designs updated, and also it has to be relevent presently. As much as the fanboys want it to be the G1 designs, the movie will not sell on the profits from the fanboys alone. The movie has to have a certain mass appeal while still satisfying most of the fans. A movie directed by fanboys or with too much input from fanboys will just be self indulgence crap that will only satisty their own desires and fantasies.

Michael Bay is the perfect director for action movies such as this. While I am not a big fan of his movies storywise, I am a big fan of his action sequence. Surely one of the best action directors around. With Spielberg on board too, I am convinced the humanistic aspect of the story will be correctly treated. The movie is in good hands.

I can't wait.

Go Autobots!!!

I think so....I forgotten already....

since both of u mentioned the same name...then i think it must be the one I'm referring to...I like that series the most...do u have the video or what???

like i said earlier, they could still use modern cars and still convert into something that looks like a transformer rather than a piece of abstract art.

or hey, if it's outdated then they could set the setting to be in 1980s. and what's wrong with Megatron being a gun while Soundwave / Blaster being cassette players?

StarScream and his gang will be really big compared to the autobots. not like we care, many of us just prefer to watch our childhood heroes face their villains again in an actual movie.

well according to those ppl in the official forums, megatron will have an earth form but it's bein kept secret...(jus rumours)

u mean Star Saber & Victory Leo (the emo lion bot)

wen they combine they become Victory Saber

I think it is still too early to judge the designs of the transformer. So far we have only seen Optimus Prime fully in a properly CGI form (looks damn cool to me). The rest we have only seen the concept art and glimpses of it from the trailer. As with most designs, the end product tend to be very different from the concept art.

And let's face it, even using modern cars, the toys designs don't exactly look 'nice' with the unbalance porpotion. The only designs that actually look 'correct' are from the masterpiece series and even then, it will look really silly in a live action movie since those designs don't exactly convey the sense of fluidity and balance in their movements. I have seen early CGI shots of the transformation using the G1 designs and seriously, they do not look good in 3D.

From what I saw in the trailer so far, the redesigned robots looked convincing enough, moved naturally and smoothly, yet still retaining the sense of scale and weight, and the transformation actually believable.

ps-Soundwave is in the movie? But surely not a cassette player right? It will be really silly if it is.

Soundwave, my favourite bots in transformers, bad bad that's his not a cassette player...-.-

I just saw the new trailer, yaya...a bit late for me...but WTF, why they want to involved so many human into the movie ? I mean the movie is oredi sux because of the lame design even the transform effect are cool....duh.

This OP fanart from its official site looks cool
