Movies

Before I get into the post. I would like to introduce myself. I like all sorts of cartoons, and Transformers have become one of them. I have recently been introduced to the Transformers fandom, and I have been trying to keep up with all of it. So far I have watched all of the American G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and Armada. I have also been reading all the comics which has been taking most of my time. I guess the new transformers movie sucked me into the Transformers universe. Well that about wraps it up so onto the topic. It seems that most of the topics on the movie were one sided so I decided to make this post. Basically I wanted to hear your opinions, …

Just bored really and researching the lesser known movie names. The movie forms are definately a step ahead of thier originals in many cases. There's something to be said about going from micromaster/minicon status to full blown front line ape Blackout http://www.tfu.info/1990/Decepticon/Blackout/blackout.htm :07laugh He's only half a jet Wreckage http://www.tfu.info/2002/Mini-Con/Wreckage/wreckage.htm Upgraded indeed Barricade http://www.tfu.info/1990/Decepticon/Barricade/barricade.htm While I'm sure it's just the photography.....evil is hot in pink/yellow and baby blue!

SPOILER alert! Do not read unless you've seen the film. Over the weekend, I met up with an old friend and we talked about the movie. He brought up the final moments of Prime vs. Megatron, where some F-22 Raptors fired their missiles at Megatron. He claims that Starscream was one of the jets that hit Megatron. I thought the theory was silly at first, but I thought about it, based on a couple of factors: 1. We've all known since the original series that Starscream is a backstabbing coward who wants Megatron out of the way so he can become leader of the Decepticons. Starscream taking a shot at Megatron in the film now doesn't surprise me, given the tension betwe…

I love the DS version but also want to get a console version. The only system I own that has it available is the PS2. I really want a Wii someday. I also would love to get a 360 after that. Should I take advantage of the TRU buy one get one free and get all of them or just wait and buy them used?

You know the standard trope, the cliche that happens with all monster/horror movies, right? Yes, the token black guy always dies first. And Jazz.... See where I'm going with this?

I'm thinking that once the movie is released on DVD, there are going to be some people who want to make music videos using clips from it. Anyone have any ideas of what would work and look cool? :)

I know of two, and I know there was a third revealed a while ago. The first one was in the trailer: takara83 I forget where it was found and what the second one is. I found a third about five minutes ago on MySpace: FWIFFO I think we should keep track of what passwords are where and what so that we can all access this secret government group :tflaugh

With all the discussions about mass-shifting and it being lame, I thought I'd ask this. When Bumblebee gets to the Allspark and places his hands on it, the Allspark shrinks. While all the good people in the theater didn't give a crap, my inner Tfan-board member went KA-ZOOM. Did I witness a magic shrinky or did I horribly misunderstand something? If this was already brought up somewhere, feel free to merge the topic. I didn't read the movie-forums between the theater-release and the time I saw it.

Hi guys... One of our members (I forget which one, sorry) has this gif in his sig: Awesome work, by the way... :thumb Also this one... (thanks Aoijunni!) Does anyone have access to any others like this? I really want a full gif of blackout transforming at the Soccent Military Base in Quatar... but I will take any ones that are available. Thanks in advance! -Joe

All you have to do is design the robot mode so that the alt-mode kibble is so broken up that you can't tell what that TF transforms into. Take Frenzy, for instance. His robot mode has no indicators of what he transforms into so it wouldn't make a difference if he was 4 ft. or 12. Just speed up the transformation so it's a blur of parts that rapidly expand into the shape of a giant robot. Also, have them emit some form of energy while transforming to indicate that they're using some sort of super science.
