Transformers

i dont believe in beastwars. It was made by a bunch of canadians (no offense if anybody's canadian) that NEVER EVEN WATCHED TRANSFORMERS!!!! In their interviews, they admitted to never having seen a single episode of the original, and only in the second (or third) did they even slightly try to tie it in

and it is going to be G1... thats already been comfirmed.

and, hey, raven, isnt that terra in your sig?

I'm with AC--I hope this doesn't happen. Screw realism, the thing will look better as complete CGI or animé.

ok there was offense tooken about the canadian thing im canadian there was offense tooken there that really hurt

It was a joke. Peter Griffin.

first off, Transformers are gay-ass rip offs of Gundams! and second, i think this movie will be a waste of time and money! they sould make a live action Gundam movie instead of those infernal dumbshit Transformers

there is no way this movie could ever be good. O rememebr hearing that jhon woo was interested in this film at one time, but who knows with that guy, he was trying to make another ninja turtles movie, jhon woo sucks anymore so even if that worked out, that wouldnt matter much. Then you have the question on which story line to do, the best and only way to go is to go buy the old comics and cartoons, they had the best characters and most intriugingstories. everything starting with beast wars and up is a sad exscuse of the transformers. The only way to do it live action is with CGI, as AC pointed out this would cost an insane amount of money, more than the transformers fan loyalty can give it. Also to much CGI is a bad thing

yeah and transformers arent a gay ass rip off of Gundam, the comics that inspired the actual creation of the transformers was around since the early seventies in japan.

seems more like gundam (especially wing zero and epyon, both being able to transform) are more like a pretty cool rip off of transformers 😉 Anyway, they already did an anime movie (in 86) as well as 3 anime series. And yes, CGI would cost a bit, but i'm sure they can come up with the money. Nowadays, MOST movies are hardly more than CGI.

Oh, and as i said earlier, it is based on G1, NOT BEAST WARS.

Yeah and that movie still stands as one of my favorites. That movie rocks major sweet ass. The first time i saw this movie i was a little boy and i remember crying when prime died, and getting goosebumps when hot rod went PRIME. shit who am ikidding, i still do. this movie alone kicks all of gundam ass

Transformers suck 😉

not as badly as you though

No, they suck more.

Gundam is something that I watched with Transformers, Voltron, Vultus 5, Robotech, Mazinger Z, Yattaman, Tekkaman, etc.

Every single one of them was good for something, so don't diss any of them. I don't care wich came first! The bottom line is that the original Transformers had a way better story and charisma then the later ones.
Beast Wars r not to be mentioned, it's a shame that they actually made something that stupid. I hate it cuz with the BEast Wars the original story's were just showed away and the whole Transformer idea transformed into some idiotic run for money and new lines of toys.

I remember being 9 years old and plotting a plan on how to steal my friends porche transformer, lol. He had it and I didn't, it was one of the sweetest transformers for me. It was blue with racing stickers, and back then they made the body(car body) out of metal and the inside of plastic.

I love the Transformers, and I would love to see a real movie done. I wouldn't mind if they made it like Final Fantasy, just with a more exciting story.

shit man i remember those old transformer toys, they kicked so much ass, i mean God made them to show how much ass action figures could kick. some of them were made of complete metal, or intermixed with metal and plastic, and they were damn hard to transform, if you had just boughten one and wanted to see them transformed, you had to dedicate half an afternoon to transform the bastards.They were like a rubix cube, but possible

Optimus Prime is Jewish, you know.

here I thought he was a machine

gundam was made after transformers

And yet you cry upon his animated death. 😱

Thank you, Spawnie, for equalizing this thread with some common sense. As someone who had also been conceived and alive when the original series was created (along with the other great cartoon stuff), I value your opinion. At first, I was excited when I heard about this, but I would really prefer than it remain animated. The cgi will definately either make or break the movie, and as I wrote before, in a thread someone else started last month, this movie has the potential to be a complete flop before it hits the rendering tables.
G1 is the premise that even makes sense, and the voices would be the other thing the validate it, and though we have lost many along the way, (Chris Latta-Starscream, Reflector, many more: and Scatman Crothers-Jazzz--who is the Posche that you mentioned earlier) they could be replaced. I heard a pretty good new version of Cobra Commander's voice on a GI Joe dvd that was released last year, and though it wasn't the same, it was honestly pretty good. Most voice actors are fairly consciencious, and they don't want to violate the sanctity of the characters anymore than we do.

Oh, and the original version of Transformers took a sh*t, and it was Beast Wars.

you should really check out this link for an example of what the cgi COULD be like, and that was very low-budget. With a movie budget, just imagine what it could look like!
