Transformers

[The Grumpy Celt]

What if we just got to have "The Touch"?

I forgot you could tempt me with thing I want!

Or rather, I could possibly tolerate the character, as long as they change the bloody name

Mostly I want to see a big, honking cargo train diesel engine transform into a robot.

1) Megatron dies somewhere around issue #8 (at the hands of Ratchet),

That was a transporter accident and when they came back they were fused together. It was trae cool.

That was the second time. The first time was during the first appearance of the dino-bots. Megatron had taken all the other Autobots (including Optimus) off-line, and ratchet agreed to fight Megatron in a fair duel to the death. Megatron never suspected that an Autobot would cheat, and so Ratchet got the upper hand and buried Megatron in an avalanche.

The third time was near the end, where Ratchet (being binary-bonded to Megatron due to the transporter accident you mentioned) had to kill himself in order to kill Megatron. So he crashed the Ark, killing himself, Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave. I don't know what a 'bot's got for s, but Ratchet had 'em in spades.

So, Hugo Weaving voiced Megatron. Well, now we know what happened to Agent Smith’s program.

I don’t want big robots talking about my pheromone levels.

Why didn’t my Dad buy me a big honking car robot from space?

If

temp’s of 6K or high damage them, then why not drop the ‘Cons into the big volcano in

Hawaii?

The

soda machine, desk top computer and angry suburban awakened by the Allspark seem to have been unaccounted

for at the end.

Cullen was so cool, some of my gray haired turned back to brown.

Didn't an XBox 360 get turned into one?

Also, what the heck was happening to the two women in the SUV, when that robot arm came out of the steering wheel and covered their faces with a mask or whatever?

I have to say....when I heard about the movie being made, I was pretty worried it was going to be a sucky cheese-fest. But I saw it tonight with two buddies, one of whom isn't even a Transformers fan, and it was good...really good. As an action movie, it stands on its own.

I know Devastator was in the movie, but that was really Brawl.

I want to see the Constructicons, lead by Starscream in all his stupidity and arrogance in the next movie. Why not make it bigger and badder the second time around? Prime can't take Devastator by himself so he he call in/searches for the big gun: Omega Supreme.

Yeah, it doesn't make for great trilogy fare but then again Matrix & Pirates did it so well that ... oh wait. Oops. Give me a second movie, pull out all the stops and go nuts. No need to turn this into a trilogy. If the next movie does well, make another one.

As long as he turns into something other than a big honkin' ray gun, I could live with that. But I think the days of 30-foot robots transforming into objects small enough to hold in the palm of the hand are (rightfully, and not a moment too soon) over with.

Shockwave apparently shows up in the video game adaption. He's a Triple Changer now. Apache helicopter and...something else I dont remember.

People are clamoring for Hasbro to make a toy of him as is.

(Or else they could make Shockwave tiny, like they did Frenzy, but I don't see that going over well. )

IIRC, he changed into a space cannon, and never actually changed in size like Megatron. At least not in the Marvel comics. He showed up very rarely in the cartoon. I'd be cool with a Shockwave that changed into a flying gun turret like those in Episode 2: Attack of the Clones.

Unless, of course, they're aiming for the Big U to show up.

More than anyone else, I missed Starscream playing a more prominent role. Of the Decepticons, he's my favorite after Soundwave (well, he actually like him as much as Megatron), so I was miffed that he didn't speak more.

Thanks to michael bay, we might have missed something important in the movie. From what the web rumors are saying, Starstream fires on Megatron when he's dueling with the f16s. I need to see the movie again to varify this (considering the camera was having a heart attack) .

Those were all F-22s in that fight; while they showed F-16s getting ready, none participated that I can recall. That would've made Starscream stand out a bit more, but as they can switch what they look like onscreen (Bumblebee did), that would've definitely led to some friendly fire.

But, yes, I heard that rumor (here, I thought), too; certainly, whoever hit him was more effective than you'd expect the typical human air-to-ground ordnance to be, as it apparently messed Megatron up bad.

Which could bring up the question of what's going to hurt a Transformer. I'd suspect a tank round (a depleted uranium one) would probably put a serious hurting, just through sheer kinetic energy transfer.

I've seen it mentioned that they will do mass-shifting transformers IF they can get it to work right. Honestly, I'd doubt it because of how awkward it is, but who knows. I did read somewhere about Bay wanting to put an Aircraft Carrier transformer into a movie, which could be interesting.

Well, they did play some mass/volume games, with the Allspark going from big huge cube to 1' cube.
