Eh no la... Bonecrusher was one of the Constructicons... they joined to form Devastator... they are Decepticons

Aiya, nolah, he was orignially an autobot. On cybertron he help build the crystal city... later captured by the decepticons and reprogrammed to work for them. So now he is a Decepticon. Bonecrusher is one of the arms of devastator.

The movie will be a Hollywood interpretation of the original Japanese Transformers. The transformers character and personality has been carried over, but the robot designs have been updated somewhat and Americanised (OP is an American truck, the cars are all american brands...) A lot of controversy behind the look of the robots as you have pointed out.

A few name changes has been made and new robots introduced. But the general Story/Intention of the original Japanese Transformers are intact.

Screenings will start 28 June. But I hear that there are earlier proviews available.

Can't wait about it....
Guys, i heard news say that Michael Bay will direct Transformers 2...

Transformers was originally Japanese? Huh? G1 was originally American lah! The movie was a mixed of 20 years of Transformers, not based solely on G1.

I knew someone would correct the general statements in the post. To all keepers of the Transformer faith, i am sory for my oversight.

All transformers that we have today is decended from 2 Japanese toylines, the Daiclone and Microman/Microchange owned by Takara(no Tomy at that time). The toylines were subsequently acquired by Hasbro, but Hasbro felt that a backstory was needed and Marvel was asked to build a backstory and animation for the G1 series that we know and love today.

Technicall all Transformers today were originally Japanese. But the truth is the story with the warring Autobots and Decepticons was Marvels idea. How much the 2007 movie borrows from the 20years of Transformer we don't know, but I read somewhere that Michael Bay in an interview said that the movie bowrows heavily from G1.

Hope this sets things straight and that the keepers of the faith will be happy.

So technically the animation was originally from the US but the toyline is not? Correct? Since most of us here cared more about the backstory more than the origins of the toyline.

Taiko, sorry yah. I am not trying to be smart or anything. I stand corrected.

But if you see the past 29 pages, most people are hung up on the robot designs not on the storyline. I think that characters and their personality is most important, coz that makes the robot.

That's where the backstory came in, and that's what most ppl are attached to. So the origin of the toyline doesn't even matter. But wait a min, a robot has a personality? LOL. Nah i'm just messing with ya. What matters most is that we'd all enjoy the movie. I'd reckon it's gonna be the biggest blockbuster this whole year.

update: New clip from the recent Jay Leno show. May contain some spoilers.
