Michael Bay's TRANSFORMERS - More Pics!

[Mercule]

I just noticed: the tires split into parts. Why do the tires split into parts? There is no functional purpose that could possibly support.

Megatron won´t be an alien jet. According to the production staff, he´s going to be a Razor jet, a new experimental model the US Air Force is working on.

I´d still prefer him to be a tank, with the gun being placed on his forearm.

And Optimus does look skinny. Bumblebee looks sotckier than him in the leaked picture.

A Razor jet? As in after the Raptor and the Joint Strike Fighter? I know they're going to be CG but they should at least try build a full-scale experimental jet and test if it can fly.

I still think they should stick with existing vehicles.

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Optimus Prime looks fine, but Megatron is horrid. I mean really, if I saw that I would have no idea it is Megatron.

 

[Victim]

Megatron looks like complete and utter crap. There is nothing that can be done for that design, save throwing it in the can and starting over.

Megatron looks like someone covered him in glue and then dumped thousands of razor blades on him.

It looks kind of cool in my opinion.

--------------------------------------

Who would build a full scale jet? Modern jets generally aren't stable flyers anyway without computer control. And most of the tests are done with computer simulations - by the time someone builds anything, they had better be damn sure it's going to fly.

 

[Klaus]

I stick to my guns here, and wish Megatron were a tank. And the robots have no business being this skinny due to motors and pipes and inner workings because *they don't have them*! At least nothing that compares to the real vehicles's inner parts! Optimus could look just like the toy. Heck, this is a case where they are having to use CGI to replicate something already sculpted (because the toys are already perfect 3D models). They could just ask Hasbro to build an Optimus toy based on the Vanderbilt truck they chose and the scan it to the computer, dammit!





I'll be over here listening to Stan Bush...

Prime is tolerable.

Megatron looks like the Shrike. He should have either been a gun (which would have been cool... even if it made no sense to most people), a tank (tolerable), or a giant gun -- a gatling, say -- or an artillary canon (which would have been awesome).

You ought to see the concept sketches for Starscream. He looks looks awful... Wanna see...? It's apparently a model for the toy that's going to be released.

 

[Morrus]

It's one of those things you'll either like or you won't. Nobody's gonna change their mind.

I'm in the "don't like it" camp. I have the original 80s Optimus Prime toy sitting on my bookslef, and I thnk it looks just fine. I see no need to change him; I would accept changes, though - but I don't like these changes. Optimus looks skinny, not the bulky, powerful Transformer on my mantlepiece,

It takes all sorts, I suppose. I'll still go see it, but I bet I'll whine about it afterwards.

The Transformers stopped being interesting following the untimely death of Scatman Cruthers(sp) circa 1987.

So, is it a good or bad idea to make a Transformers live-action film?

Can we accept their animated version to interact with live-action environment without calling into question, "where does the rest of his armor went when they're in their vehicle mode?"
