other than Incinerator, the rest looks horrible. Prime sux, Bumblebee sux, Starscream sux.

want to make TF movie, make it like the original la. ask them to refer to MP01 and MP03 for crying out loud (ok i know MP03 not yet out la)

now here's the one I like.....

did they? oh crap.

damn they can create spiderman, superman properly and not Transformers?

eeeeechk. no matter how nice, the FEEL is not there.

so? makes not difference whether they're fans or not in the 1st place.

giving TF the 'weird new look' would mislead people.

put it this way. new look - unknown response from non-fans, pure-flaming from fans. but to stick to the original look - ahh then you still have unknown response from fans but at least the fans would appreciate the effort to maintain it's originality.

then what's the point of having it called Transformers when everythign will be totally new?

damn it. cannot la like that, heck even if you use the chars from Takara's Binaltech's line would still make it nice.

speaking of Jazz, his Binaltech series was named Meister in Japan instead of Jazz. why? Honda got Jazz already, so it would be misleading to release a Mazda RX-8 autobot named Jazz.

ok. well anyway - back to topic. even Citroen ads produce nicer bots.

it lacks the CLEAN feel of G1 Transformers.

the name bumblebee is too cute for camaro. the name bumblebee was chosen (IMO) to suit the yellow VW Beetle.

IMO this being the first Transformers movie, it should capture the essence of the original - the G1 transformers.

that's where the old fans are happy about and the new fans get to know the originals.

however in this case - everyone's having new bots to look at, unfortunately it's not tastefully done.

heck even if they used Binaltech / Alternator moulds would still look better, cos at least it's still based on actual Toy / Figurine units.



LOL. and why do you think transformers like MP01 and MP03 are so expensive? to the extent MP01 once reached RM 1k++, and it's a G1 Optimus Prime.

the G1 ARE the CORE of transformers, they're the heart of the whole lineup. when you say Transformers - who do you think of first? OPTIMUS PRIME G1!!!

yup. in fact the old look is more simple and easier to appreciate.

heck that silly OP has more nooks and crannies than Alien.

it's really dumb. really really really dumb.

i was thinking they might consider using Binaltech moulds instead of the G1 moulds for some characters, like smokescreen for example. but no matter how OP and Bumblebee MUST REMAIN!!!! and yeah, Megatron and StarScream too.

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.

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

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.

Final Fantasy : TSW wasn't a good show IMO.

Jazz definitely looks better in Binaltech RX-8 mould.



ugghh. they're NOT coming near to my Binaltechs.

EDITED : DAMN!!!!!!!! i just saw starscream!!!!!!



vs



i mean seriously, even if you don't which to use G1 looks then at least you can still use the mould on newer vehicles - just like what they did with Binaltech / Alternators line.

and even that cab for G1 OP / Magnus looks fine. same goes to StarScream, which sorta resembles an F-15.

well, at least Blackout looks nice.

this is NOT the place to do it. i've moved your post in Bulk Orders to Garage Sale as well.

and kindly visit the Transformers Fan Club thread
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/222956

LOL. and you're equating a robot with humans.

they could have sensors build around that they don't have to look at their feet. and gyros inside that help them balance.

funny how you talk about Alt / Binals toppling when fact is that if you compare them to StarScream from the movie, StarScream looks even more unstable.

heck who cares about real life - if those in the movie won't topple despite how badly they look then surely the alt / binals (similar to G1 mould) wouldn't topple either.

and i prefer a clean look for robots.

EDITED : unbelievable amount of typos.

anyway designs are subjective. can browse all over the place, some people like the new. some like the old.

i like sleek and clean look, therefore among all of them only Blackout appeals to me. the rest looks ok in vehicle mode and sux in robot mode (to me la.)

as for Scorponok, man it hought Megatron Classics was toy-like enough (toy, as in McD's Happy Meal toy) but Scorponok holds the title for good!!

IMO right now it's not about the looks of the robots, it's about how the show goes.

ok - the show released yesterday but the last post on this thread was 3rd April : anyone seen the movie?

aiks. no wonder la. i see 7 / 4 / 7. (*#&%(*&%(

damn. oh well.

yeah. no matter how i dislike their designs (other than OP), the trailer awed me silly. i'm a sucker for fast action with cool camera angles.




actually bumble could be new beetle, OP can be a new truck. heck it could be set in the 80s but it might be boring.




not necessarily so. knowing how they got their vehicle mode doesn't mean one agrees on the new version.

i've posted many times, choose la shapes from Alternators / Binaltech series. looks nicer. i'm ok if they take new form but i personally (note the word PERSONALLY) find that the designs are awful. the toys are ugly and are so complex they look like random mesh of parts from the junkyard.

nevertheless the special effects are still cool (why can't they do it like that Citroen ad, or Nike shoe ad)

even when i look at the toys, i found only OP and Bonecrusher to be nice. the rest are just ugly.
