well, i jsut heard that good ol' stephen speilburg is on board. Of course, this is just another rumor. THough i cant possibly see how he COULD handle the movie, seeing as the release date is early 2006... I mean, he's currently working on two or three big projects, not to mention a possible indiana jones 4, but how is he supposed to spend any time at all with the TF project?!?
Oh,i also heard they arent allowing transformers to "change size'... as in megatron cant get smaller and become a gun, and soundwave cant become a cassette player.... for megs, its not too big a change,they can always make him a tank, like in G2, but what about soundwave?!?!?!? (see my pic). How can they have soundwave, but not give him his cassetticons?!?!?!??
Okay, new question for this. It's been confirmed that there will be 14 TF characters, 7 autobots and 7 decepticons. Also, one of the robots (doesnt say which faction) will be NON-G1, as in it will be armada, energon, beastwars or something else... Which characters do you think WILL be in the movie, and which characters would you WANT to be in the movie???
If I have to choose 7 from each affiliation, I choose:
DECEPTICONS--Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, maybe Skywarp, Ravage, Astrotrain, Laserbeak or Thundercracker, but I wish we could see the 6 Contructicons and Devastator
AUTOBOTS-- Optimus, Jazz, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and maybe Skyfire, who actually began as a Decepticon--and of course, in a perfect world, the Dinobots
hehe thanks.. i remember watching the transformers movie and that would be totally excellent if they kept the new movie like that but i wouldn't be against cgi.. its too early to know anything concrete right now.. you know what, i might give transformers the movie a go in my vcr right now..! its been a while.. is this movie out on dvd? if it is, i must be living under a rock..
Man, i just spent a goof fifteen minutes of my life dreddging through the archives for this damn thread, after going through 20 20 or so pages and seing many transformer pages, i came back to the front page for the hell of it and here it was, god dammit. that was a long fifteen minutes in my life, I have however remebered how many pointless V.S, and wha if threads have been started here. Any hooo.
I think a transforemrs live action movie could be a blast. ONly, Only if the writers choose to stick to the original stories. Then i could say that i would be higly anticipating a transformers movie, but if it goes to beasts wars or the armada bullshit, i will renounce my faith in the transforemers love. I'm telling you man, we better get ,
Optimus prime, of course, As the original MAC Truck.
jazz.. That sports car we love so much
Bublebee, Shit he is always there, you know it a Volkwswagon,Bug
Ironhide, He is the accountable loyal one. Sports car or truck.
Prowl. well we need a cop car of course on the good guys side, its only natural .
forget his name man, he was amongst the originals aswell, he transformend into a hellicopter, i would say this guy, or jet fire, because you need some air coverage.
Last but not least on the auto bots of course ULtramagnus, the all so loyal soldier...Truck, with a car acrrier.
Deceptacons. easy of course Megatron..badass gun for star scream, or eigther mounted gun, i could except that. Starscream, Jet. Soundwave, satelite system, able to dispense mini-cons. Armorhide...bad ass tank. Maybe we could have the last three as scavenger, Powerlinx, and thurst. It would be cool if we could have all these original characters, i would be cool if these three deceptacons would combine to form A mock Demolisher, for a bad ass ending for the autobots to battle against.
Now this would be my sweet and perfect transforemers movie, but yeah i know they will invest more in the armada bullshit,they'll make opitums a firetruck, and it goes downhill from there what the hell is hot shot? i mean really. just say hot rod man.
What would be even sweeter, is if we just got a live action of the movie. Now that is of course asking to much

It is. I got it for Christmas last year. 🙂
RR--nice to see that you've given this some thought.
The helicopter you're referring to is Springer. The jet is Skyfire.
Thanks for mentioning Prowl--he's one I had forgotten to mention, and one of my favorites. So damned logical.
I think I would actually prefer an entirely up-dated and animated movie featuring the original first season characters and premise. That would be MY ultimate dream come true. The animation today would make it absolutely unforgettable.
its either "jetfire" or "skyfire". Skyfire was the cartoon name, but in all the comics (even the recent, ongoing ones) he is jetfire.
Arcee was G1, all of the chars in the movie were G1, and those in season 3 (post movie). There were 4 fembots, though i cant name them all.....
Anyway, my list would be....
Autobots:
1) Optimus Prime
2) Jazz
3) Ironhide
4) Wheeljak
5) Grimlock
6) Hotrod
7) Ratchet
Decepticons (the entire original cartoon team!):
1) Megatron
2) Starscream
3) Thundercracker
4) Skywarp
5) Soundwave (with cassettes)
6) Reflector (all 3 of "him"😉
7) Shockwave
they've already said that Megatron won't be a gun, cuz its against hasbro's non-violent BS now, but he can still be a tank... and if he was a tank, then it would be G2 Megatron (NOT G1) which takes care of the "non-G1) char problem

Yeah, and paired with an edgy rock soundtrack like the original did . Hell yeah, i think that would rock hella kick ass style, focus on some major anime style artistry. I think no better omage could be paid. I am still curious to see how it would appear in live action CGI and puppetry though,i think it could be done impressivlely, but as long as i get my original characters with some edgyness,i'll be happy.
As for the no violence thing, i think that just may spoil anyhopes i have for this movie. I mean it's war. the transformers were contantly at war, and war is violent, but can be executed in an inspiring and uplifting manner , like the original shows, and movie did. Hot rod was always my favorite after the movie to, i loved rodimus. Thanks for the heads up on springer, that cures an itch on my tongue.
let me rephrase the "non violent" deal... Its cuz the G1 megatron toy transformed into an actual gun, not just resembled, but was the actual size, color scheme, etc. That was too close for the toy company, so in G2 they changed him to a tank. Now, obviously they are still at war, but they will need to use something not quite as realistic as an actual, life-size firearm for if (and when) they release a movie set of toys...
It could be time for me to dig out my Transformers universe issues...
Kontraz, how come you picked Reflector as one of your Decepticons? Just wondering why. Did you like his sense of humor or something? And why no Prowl on YOUR Autobot list? That surprised me, I'll admit.
I can certainly see why they decided not to market Megatron as a gun--tanks are much less violent 🙄
Actually, I'm gonna be honest here--I hated the soundtrack--and I still do. So butt-rocky. But, I never liked that kind of music anyway.
And, yes, the gun WAS fairly specific. It was a highly-detailed chrome looking, Smith and Wesson Walther P-38. But I still think it's friggen stupid for them to change it, you can still find toy guns on the shelves of any toy store, but I guess these guys have decided that they don't wanna be "part of the problem". I say f*ck that--I was really hoping to get my paws on another real Megatron someday.
prowl is good, i was thinking either him or hot rod, but if they do a sequal, i'd like to have hot rod's char built up a little more, though they could always do a sequal with him being introduced in the beginning like in the animated movie.
As for reflector, i personally don't like him all too much, but he was part of the ORIGINAL G1 cartoon decepticon team. I just choose the original team, cuz they are probably the most familiar. Megatron, 3 seekers, soundwave and perceptor. I threw in shockwave cuz he was shown in the original, though he wasnt really part of the team...
