....wait...wrong movie....this movie actually had GOOD love scenes, with good dialogue..Take note Lucas, you 2-dimensional demon.
Anyways, about a Zepplin Transformer, the only problem I could see is the mass-displacement of the balloon part. Unless it'd be like a weird shield around him, otherwise it'd be like wearing a giant parachute....come to think of it, that would make a nice entrance. See this zepplin overhead, then watch it transform and parachute down, then have the balloon part wrap around him like a cape.
Breifly on the subject of the GL love scenes thing, I don't think Lucas was trying to show us your classic good relationship. He was showing us what happens whena lame assed relationship goes hideously wrong.
When things are right they flow well. When its wrong, theres a hideous awkwardness that dogs the whole thing. And thats what we were given in AOTC and ROTS.
Now if your talking about the ESB relationship issues.... then thats where Lucas shows us how f***ed relationships are in his eyes lol
"Duuuuuuuude! Its your sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...Naruto/FF7 crossover?...Now I have to kill him.
And I didn't think it was humanly possible, but that HP TF crossover made me hate Potter even more than I already did.
And about the AOTC and ROTS love scenes, he could've atleast given us some dialogue that doesn't make us gag on our own vomit everytime we hear it. Not the "You're so beautiful." "It's only because I'm so in love." What the hell is that?? I've heard some pretty stupid lines, but never that bad.

Hah, but atleast we didn't go to the Transformers movie out of nessecity like with Star Wars....Actually, the only reason I went to see the movie was for Peter Cullen as Prime. Honestly, if he didn't come back, I would've never seen it.
Here's a kicker: This one guy I talked to said *john travolta* would've made a good Prime. And he did it with a straight face. It made me laugh for a week. Come to think of it, I can see Travolta as Jazz.
I been a Transformers fan all my life, still love to play with the toys muahahah. And I saw the film two different ways.
I saw it as a newcomer to the Transformers world would. Just think, this to some 5 or 6 year old is what the G1 was to us when we were kids.
And I saw it as a fan of the G1, loving everything about them. The movie paid more homage than I thought it would. It entertained me, and I got to see Prime kick ass (which is all I really wanted anyways ;D)
And I did like some of the changes, like Bumblebee has more of a purpose finally, and I kinda enjoyed how they intergrated the humans, you actually get to feel empathy for them.
That said, I believe the only reason you get to see a fraction of the Transformers is that this movie was most likely an experiment more than anything. They wanted to guage our reaction, they had to get the CGI and all that right. So now I think that since they have that down, there'll be some kick ass action in the next movie, because the team knows what to do, they know how to do it, they're ready this time, and hopefully they'll have a bigger budget.
There are more factors that worked against it, for me...
The script,
the sense you can get that it was made by someone with no sense of the spirit of the subject matter at hand,
the way that the decepticons were little more than b-movie RARRRRRRRR villians characterisation wise,
the way that the time spent on the humans could have been spent better than in second hand ID4/alien virus and MIB/cooky fictional investigator storylines,
The designs of the decepticons being do indistinct outlines wise that fast moving combat was too hard to follow... (That bit with Ironhide vs Blackout just before Blackout escapes, transforming, for example)
The overdumbing down of what was at least in comic form, followable sci-fi fantasy that had actual depth and character.
The patheticness of the ending with Megatron being killed by human with a rubik's cube - a human that he had every opportunity to crush/flick/grab the allspark from for a painfully obvious amount of time just prior to the slaying.
I enjoy some aspects of the movie, I still watch it after all, but its mainly for the prettyness/shinyness and I have to ffwd to the tf bits having gotten so bored by all the subplot stuff/other plotholes/pieces of corporate brainlessness after rewatches.
Rachel Taylor and Megan Fox are damned hot too.
