Starscream is an F-22.

 

The production crew was crowing about being the first movie to feature footage of the US's newest jet. (Since I seem to recall CGI versions in the Hulk, they must be referring to "live action" footage.)

CGI recreations =/= actual footage

True.

 

However, I imagine 90% of the F-22s in the TF movie will also be CGI.

It seems Megs has an Earth alt mode after all.

Why wasnt this given its own Topic?!?!

:eek

 

This article gave me all sorts of fanwood!

I don't get it. Why is it they want them to look monstrous. It's just so wrong. I know they're at war, but even then, the TFs have been about other stuff than just war. And they've always had a slight humanistic portion to them, which is how they were able to be made relatable...(which for a product, be it visual (tv/movies), or physical (toys/video games), you need to have some way to relate to the human side). And to make these guys seem more monstrous than they ever are in the series is just stupid.

 

But again, I'm hoping that what we've been seeing as of late will not be final and we'll see more fancied versions in the actual final product.

Exclusive interview with Shia LaBeouf and the progress of the TF movie and his thoughts about working with Bay.

 

Filter probably doesn't like lots of swearing which the artical has a fair amount of.

Makes sense. But it just doesn't sit right with my G1 bible.

funny you should use the term "bible" because i'm always comepairing the more fanatical G1 purists to christian fundementalists.

Funny, I think you sound pretty much like a fundie, what with the way you've decided that everybody who's not a fundie must automatically be a satanist.

Okay, I shall elucidate. For this example, fundie = somebody who applauds the new designs, and satanist = ravening G1 fanboy who blindly uses G1 as the one and only standard to grade things by. You have given me the strong impression of somebody who thinks that 1) anybody who doesn't like the movie designs is a ravening G1 fanboy, and 2) anybody who likes G1 enough to argue based on it is comparable to a fundamentalist christain, which I assume from your tone of voice to be an unfavorable comparison.

 

Of course, I could be wrong. You could have been being being sarcastic or ironic something; it's hard to tell that in a message board posting. So, you could have been being sarcastic. In every. Single. Post.

 

I happen to dislike the new designs to varying degrees, but not because I'm a mindless G1 addict worshipping at the foot of The Great One With A Bumper For A Waist. The fact that they don't look like the G1 designs is a factor; but it's far from the whole story. I won't launch into a monologue here unless you prompt, which would surprise me immensely, because 1) you have zippo reason to care what I think, and 2) I half-seriously suspect you tuned me out as soon as I said I didn't like the new designs.

Yep, Y2K Bug manages to load sarcasm into EVERY SINGLE POST. :lol
