Transformers ...the movie

[Dozer]

http://www.transformersmovie.com/

The movie isn't released until April 2007 but from the early indications it will be big. The link has a short teaser trailer which sets a good vibe for the film.
I can't wait for this one.......:D

[Rik]

Here's hoping the CG is realistic enough to justify such a movie. There's alot of potential, and I'm hoping it comes through with the goods :)

[Breaka]

Child-hood fan of Transformers.....still am.
Definately going to see this one.

[RCOH]

Bah... I have the original movie on VHS!

[Venciferus]

Man that looks good, I was expecting a cartoon type jazz but this was sweet.

[J()nny]

I've loved transformers ever since i was a kid, I just hope this film can do the original cartoons justice.

[Brett]

Being the internet nerd that i am i've known about this for a while. There is a CG test of a car transforming next to a guy and a few animations done by fans which look unbelivable. I'll try to track them down.

[Rik]

here's (http://youtube.com/watch?v=T5175Y06_Lk) some (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hs2Q-KaeICQ) vids, I think Brett meant this one (http://youtube.com/watch?v=PRbHwukwSvA)
but then they get funky (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_gW0goeLkC4)
and more funky (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IL5c2DUnYno)
ahaha, not so funky (http://youtube.com/watch?v=UoCqThjYb4M)
prototyping? (http://youtube.com/watch?v=SdRlu8M4gxE) budget cuts? (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8Xz1IQb3MUQ)

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

Two words:

Michael Bay

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid...

[sawtell]

I cant wait for it!! I have always loved my transformers!! yeeeeehawww

[DWNHLR01]

the original movie kicked ass...

[Dozer]

I posted this thread a year ago when I found out about the movie and now it is only one week away! To say I'm super excited is an understatement...........;)
The bots look so real..............:eek:

[FoxRidersCo]

I saw the preview on TV last night.... It looks awesome

With Steven Spielberg as the director I reckon we are in for a treat...

"More Than Meets The Eye" ..... Lets hope so :D

[johnny]

Should be out on DVD over here already. ;)

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

The bots look so real..............:eek:

NO THEY DON'T. OPTIMUS PRIME IS RED AND DOES NOT HAVE FLAMES AND MEGATRON IS A FUCKING GUN - NOT A PLANE :mad::mad::mad:!!!

I reckon I'll go to see it though, I've got reservations as it's Michael Bay in charge but f*** it, it's not exactly shakespeare we're dealing with. At least it'll be spectacular. Be a good one to see after a few "jazz" biscuits...

[scblack]

Bah... I have the original movie on VHS!
I no longer have a VHS in the house!

[RCOH]

I no longer have a VHS in the house!

I don't own a computer & still listen to vinyl!!


Psyched to see this movie. I wonder if the theme song will be the same:

Penny and I were just talking about this movie last night - sounds good and we will be seeing it soon.:)

[wombat]

NO THEY DON'T. OPTIMUS PRIME IS RED AND DOES NOT HAVE FLAMES AND MEGATRON IS A FUCKING GUN - NOT A PLANE :mad::mad::mad:!!!

WTF??? I haven't paid enough attention to the trailers, is OP really not red???
I do concur with your second statement however, I can imagine a second trip to the cinemas may well be in order to get the most out of this film.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a midnight opening anywhere?

[faith_rider]

With Steven Spielberg as the director I reckon we are in for a treat...

I'm with PINT, it's definitely Michael Bay...same guy who brought us Bad Boys 1 and 2 :D

[scblack]

I'm with PINT, it's definitely Michael Bay...same guy who brought us Bad Boys 1 and 2 :D
Oh....in that case I hope it is more like Bad Boys 1 - number 2 was CRAP.:eek:

The plane in the trailers is Starscream isnt it? Not Megatron.. also Megatron took shape of a tank in a few episodes of the series aswell as a handheld gun...
Oh....in that case I hope it is more like Bad Boys 1 - number 2 was CRAP.:eek:

WHHHAAAAAATTTTT!!

[Sic]

Yeah the plane in the trailer is Starscream but Megatron in the film is some kinda jet thing as well. Yeah he was a tank in one incarnation but that just a gun on wheels really.....Ive accepted the fact that they have changed the robots into something else its just the Michael Bay factor that worries me, he makes terrible terrible films.

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

Megatron's definitely a jet in this one, also Bumblebee's now a chevy camaro.

Optimus Prime's got the same guy doing his voice from the old cartoon series.

[Suprez]

Keep in mind that the transformers take on a new form when they are on earth, so really they can be whatever the hell the producer wants. The fact the megatron isnt a gun is probably a good thing considering a human could hold him in gun form then when he transforms hes an 8m tall robot :rolleyes:

I cant wait for it. Should be good.

RCOH, that theme song you posted isnt the original generation 1 theme song, I believe that one come into affect after the original movie :p

[Dozer]

The good guys (Decepticons that is ;))
Megatron - he looks like a really hotted up plane with some cool weaponry.
Barricade - He is the bot acting as a Police car, a Mustang in fact!
Starscream - an F22 Raptor jet. He is the coolest bot ever.
Blackout - he is a military helicopter that uses his blades to slice and dice.

The bad guys (Autobots........the day will come when the Decepticons will conquer them......:D)
Optimus Prime - He is a bonnetted Peterbilt truck. I would like Prime if he was a Kenworth.........enough said!
Bumble Bee - This time around he is a Camaro car. The old softy of the bunch......
Jazz - a Pontiac car with a cool colour!
Ironhide - the hardass is a GMC ute.

Their you go, Dozer's synopsis.;)

[Dicky]

RCOH, that theme song you posted isnt the original generation 1 theme song, I believe that one come into affect after the original movie :p

The White Lion version?

Yeah, but it kicks the original's tail across the galaxy. :p

I lost my VHS copy years ago. :(
Lucky it's available on DVD.




This Bay character had better do a bloody good job.

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

What was the name of Megatron's sidekick, the one who could change into a ghettoblaster - he also came with a mini-decepticon that could change from a tape into a weird bird like thing? Was it soundwave? What was the tape called? Why on earth aren't they including such genius in the movie? :p

Aren't the Autobots the good guys and the decepticons the bad guys :confused:

[-Jordan-]

Aren't the Autobots the good guys and the decepticons the bad guys :confused:

Wiki says yes...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobot

In all Transformer continuities, the Autobots are the "good guys," "Heroic Autobots" fighting the "Evil Decepticons", who are the antagonists of the various series.

[hardinge915]

Aren't the Autobots the good guys and the decepticons the bad guys :confused:

hence the wink mate, his perception and i agree.. the autobots always were kinda pussies... Who wouldnt prefer to be a gun opposed to a truck

[GrubNut]

Racking my brain on the little cassette tape one... was it laserbeak?

I wonder if it have the one that was a Datsun 280zx - the ultimate big-moustached-coke-dealer-car. By the way there's a great youtube of steve jobs (or is it wozniak) in a 280zx.

Soundwave, yep.

He carried 4 cassette tape transformers (early disc stacker?), at least in the movie - the bird was Laserbeak. There was an even weirder looking one called RatBat. The other two were humanoid robots, with arms that turned into piledrivers.


On a side note, I'm sure Blaster (the Autobot ghettoblaster) was voiced by a black dude, and then there was RC, the pink female Autobot.

Token black guy + token female. :rolleyes:

Either you just googled all that, or you're autistic. ;)

[hardinge915]

Either you just googled all that, or you're autistic. ;)

Hahaha. Its surprising how much you really remember when you think about it. I remember watching these when i was 5-6 and hiring the videos out from the video shop. Loved it and wished they continued with it instead of changing everything and ruining the series.

[Dicky]

Either you just googled all that, or you're autistic. ;)

Nope, just have the original movie on DVD and have watched it too many times. [/nerd] :D

[Jack122]

some of the cg on the add looks farkin fantastic, can't wait.

[Brett]

Most of the vehicles are GM so i hope it doesn't turn into an ad for them. The vehicles are different as they wanted the size of the transformed characters to be imposing and as they were sticking to realism. There just wasn't enough mass in a VW beetle or whatever the hell kind of truck optimus was for them to be big enough transformed.

The CG is amazing, just look at the weight transferring onto the feet when one of them climbs out of the swimming pool in the trailer ... awesome !

[wombat]

Soundwave, yep.

I had soundwave and laserbeak! Had to be one of my favourite of the lot, although I have a feeling that Laserbeak got lost somewhere along the line.

[sawtell]

Soundwave, yep.

ive got him.. he was always my favourite transformer, as well as optimus prime.. cause the toy when you pulled it apart had a gun and stuff in his tralier..

damn i love those toys.. might get them out now. ive got this massive one.. no shit its about 1 metre high, then folds up into a big base station!!!!


the movie (from trailers) is not anything how i rembered the cartoon series.

[Dicky]

damn i love those toys.. might get them out now. ive got this massive one.. no shit its about 1 metre high, then folds up into a big base station!!!!

Metroplex...? (Google...) yep.

I don't know why I remember these things - besides, sounds like somewhere that sells girls' jeans to boys.

I have Kup, a beaten up Sharkticon, used to have Prime but sold him in a garage sale - stupid stupid stupid.
Had Blurr and Wreck-Garr (motorbike, junk planet) at some stage, might be around here somewhere. A few others too, but they don't rate a mention.

[Alec McJo]

Just got back from the premier...


Fucking best movie EVER. The special effects are freakin incredible and wholly shit thats a good movie. Fuucckk yeah!

[i like dirt]

I'm pumped seeing it tomorrow yay.

[THE CHENZ]

NO THEY DON'T. OPTIMUS PRIME IS RED AND DOES NOT HAVE FLAMES AND MEGATRON IS A FUCKING GUN - NOT A PLANE :mad::mad::mad:!!!

I reckon I'll go to see it though, I've got reservations as it's Michael Bay in charge but f*** it, it's not exactly shakespeare we're dealing with. At least it'll be spectacular. Be a good one to see after a few "jazz" biscuits...

.................jazz biscuits, are the shit!:D:D:D

[optamistic]

I hated the show :eek:, but the movies actually looks good :rolleyes:

[Squidly Didly]

La Premiere seats booked for tomorrow night. woooo

Now I'm gonna go listen to White Lion http://forums.farkin.net/images/icons/icon14.gif

[fair_enough69]

Oh well, back to study... :(

[hubbie]

I'm So psyched! I'm thinking of drawing an autobots head on my headtube ;) mean as

[chris_mtb]

i went and saw the first session at campbelltown in g max (the fucking massive screen )
and.............
it was the coolest movie i have seen this year
the graphics are great the robots look very very real
very action packed
was great recomend everyone to see it

[i like dirt]

It was awesome. Graphics and special effects were unreal. The fighting was super cool. :D

[carpo_jnr]

It was awesome. Graphics and special effects were unreal. The fighting was super cool. :D

not to mention Megan Fox and whoever that blonde was... :D:o

[pinned--->]

Wow. Just got home from it then. It was really good. Except how something the size of a car tire can turn into the size of a mobile phone, not to mention a car turning into something half the size of a building! :p Kinda ruined it though as I need to pee the whole time.

[i like dirt]

not to mention Megan Fox and whoever that blonde was... :D:o

OMG yes. :D:D:D:D:D Shall sleep well tonight.

[dr.matt]

best film ive seen this year, absolutely loved it. cant remember the blondes name, but shes an aussie (if you couldnt half tell from the accent!)

her name is rachel taylor, she was born in tassie in 1984....

[carpo_jnr]

OMG yes. :D:D:D:D:D Shall sleep well tonight.

i won't, too much chafing:eek::p

tell me about it.... that accent was almost too much!

[pinned--->]

Aussies in American films, their accents sound so strong to the point of annoyance! I think the main girl character was hotter :o.

[carpo_jnr]

haha thats exactly right, I agree, Mikaela (sp) aka Megan Fox was hotter in my opinion, also.

[Mugger]

Great movie, one of my favourites of the year.

Had me glued to the screen, way epic.

For the record, megan fox is prime.

[Alec McJo]

Her accent was shitting me off the wall! but she was HOT.



For the record, megan fox is prime.

Now, her, she was even fucking HOTTER! :eek:

Ahahaha. How good was the part where bumblebee kept playing the songs when he picked her up? That was awesome

"Baby come back!"

[matty_101]

I just saw this movie, wow. The greatest sfx ive ever seen, and megan fox............goddamn!

A sign of good things to come i hope.

[Breaka]

I've seen Meegan Fox featured in a mens mag. All I can say is that her last name is rather appropriate.

[clockworked]

just saw it - fucken awesome. on par with, if not better than, sin city. leaves x-men for dead

lamest ending line ever though - "just like us, there is more than meets the eye"

[aeon05]

Just saw and then and its awesome, the CGI is the best ive ever seen in any movie and the girl in it is really really truly hot
look for the scene when she lifts bumble bees hood and you'll know what im talking about!

[Squidly Didly]

2 beers and 4 bundy rums during the movie was probably not the best idea. Advice to everyone, take a piss before you go in the cinema. 2 and a half hours is a long time to hold a piss in.

Fuck me that was awesome.

[Scott]

damn good movie....... they could have easily screwed it up, they even worked in the corny punch lines and story without turning it into barf.

[Dozer]

I'm in shock............It was the best film I've seen for a long time...........I can't fault it in any way...........The stroy was true to the series, the bots were unbelieveable, the girls were hot, the cast was spot on, the sequel will be interesting.;) I'm going again tonight!

Squid, nice avatar! Let's get 'em and finish them off good and proper!;)

[Squidly Didly]

the girls were hot
"Baby come back ..."

bwahahahaha

[dazz]

Saw it last night. Two words:

FARK YEAH! Sick movie, so I've changed my avatar to show my approval! I thought they stuck with the orginal characters & story well enough, the S7 guy was a massive wanker, but who cares... Megan Fox :eek: Soo hot.

[clockworked]

^^^^ the s7 guy was a wanker - in a funny way, but as soon as i saw him all i could think about was how 'vvery vvery sneaky" he is, and how we were "underestimating my sneakiness, sir"

like my mate said, he is a nobody actor otherwise, but he will always be deed's butler.

[Dicky]

The s7 guy played his part, they had to have a beaurecrat in there somewhere.

All in all, that was fuckin' awesome.



I hope they throw a stack more characters into the sequel, as well as more dialogue between the robots, particularly Prime and Megatron. (Yeah, he'll be back.)

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

SEQUEL? Jeez it'll be hard to live up to this one's standards, they'll have to throw in a few more hotchicks, some more cool cars and awesome fighting!
*Holds out for awesome sex scene with Megan Fox*:o:p

[hubbie]

so good. man i feel more complete now

[thompo]

Saw the movie last night and all in all i thorowly (sp) enjoyed it. Although it was a little hard on the eyes for me when it zoomed in when they transformed etc.

[Cameo]

Best movie ever, saw it tonight and I was very impressed!

[fair_enough69]

very very good,, saw it tonite,, very tempted to go see it agian tomoz night

[DJninja]

Best movie I've seen for a while.

[Squidly Didly]

I'm going again tonight!
Well I just did! Anyone else as stupid as I am?

[Gluey_trails]

Well I just did! Anyone else as stupid as I am?

I am gonna go with some vasaline

[matty_101]

Well I just did! Anyone else as stupid as I am?
Yep, tommorow again, who says people can't enjoy one movie over and over again?

[Steve-0]

Man, that was an awesome movie!! Just got back and i reccomend it also! :D . I'm not sure about a sequel though, there is room for one, but it didnt really emphasise that there HAD to be one.Time to re-create in 3dmax :cool:

[ExTrEmE FrEeRiDe]

:eek: Was such a wicked movie the CG graphics are amazing highly recomend it awsome action flick

[Drizz]

Yeah, its nice to see Decepticons' evil plan foiled by General Motors once again. :rolleyes:

Besides that I would go back and watch it again for sure. :cool:

[.:Easily:.]

that was easily one of the best movies ive ever seen, and the best one i have seen this year.

i would definately see it again.

[flying high dh killer]

that was easily one of the best movies ive ever seen, and the best one i have seen this year.

i would definately see it again.

One of the best movies you've ever seen?!! even with all the trademark clichés and cheesy one-liners? It wasn't bad, It was fun,the CGI was awesome, the girls were hot and the Sam character was quite funny; the movie wasn't much more than meets the eye though...certainly no "Chicken Run" I give it 3 stars.

[duck_man]

Went and saw it last night, and wow, amazing! I went in to it thinking that this can be realy good, or realy bad. The CG was awesome, but some of the close up were a bit hard on the old eyes.

It's the best thing I have seen this year.

Now I sit back wait for the Simpsons movie, IMO to be the greatest movie of all time :rolleyes:.

[hubbie]

anyone know if they're making toys of the new movie? I'd be madkeen on a starscream or Barricade.

I know there were megatron toys recently that morphed into guns and were banned from getting into the country

There are indeed movie toys out, you can pick them up from any of the department stores. So far I've picked up leader class Prime, Ironhide, Blackout, Barricade and Bonecrusher. Waiting for the updated 2008 Concept Camaro Bumblebee to come out. :)

The megatron that was siezed by customs is called "Masterpiece Megatron" He's awesome too, I have mine on my TV next to Masterpiece Starscream and 20th Anniversary Prime. Google that ;)

The movie was great, and for those of you guys wanting to pick up toys, Hasbro will be doing some of the Movie transformers with generation 1 colourscemes. I'm really looking forward to Jazz :)

[Plow King]

I went and saw it, I sat down and watched the screen for about 10 seconds... And the first words were something like 'We must fight for the cube' I pretty much said 'Ahh crap that was 10 bucks wasted, I came to watcha movie about a cube'

Turns out it was a good movie, I reccomend for everyone to see it, I was in aww (sp) with the special effects. I was thinking about how the hell they can do that rather than the movie itself.

[meatlovers]

Transformers was so awesome!
The only part I don't like about it, all the fighting. There is just too much robot fighting, and it gets hard to know which robot is which...

[Ryan]

Your opinion is based on an incorrect assumption; there can never be too much robot fighting in a movie. Even if it's a movie that's not about robots directly, there should always be at least 1 fight between 10 storey tall mechanical behemoths.

Bwahahahahaha!:D Good hit..........it was always going to be said in one way or another.;)

[eternalgorias]

went in skeptical, I thought they'd screw it up, I was wrong. sickest movie Ive seen all year. It was great, actually making it really serious without to many cheesy jokes etc. I had no idea it would be such an epic movie, cant wait to go see it again. Hope theres a PS3 game coming:cool:

[Dozer]

. Hope theres a PS3 game coming:cool:

It's your lucky day......... http://www.ezygames.com.au/product/index.html?id=2237
The game looks very good too!

[Steve-0]

YES!!! Theres a game on the 360 aswell! Hells yer :cool:

[matty_101]

It's your lucky day......... http://www.ezygames.com.au/product/index.html?id=2237
The game looks very good too!

Actually it's suposedly shitty, the levels are really small, and the fights are monotonous. I doubt that i'd buy it.

[BJ-]

Best movie ive seen in a long time! The girls were fun to look at to...

[sikpuppyonglory]

my mate just bought the game today for xbox 360. it certainly was a very well presented movie, the cgi was second to none, bits of humour & some serious explosions & fighting scenes. :):cool:

my only gripe about the movie was that starscream looked too chunky from the torso up. :(

[matty_101]

Naw thats not a real problem, what confused me was that Optimus Prime is the same size as Megatron, and Jazz is only a tiny bit smaller than Optimus yet when Jazz fights Megatron, hes fucking miniscule in comparison and ends up being ripped in half.

[bunya_DH]

I went to the premier in brisbane, it was a mad as movie, the name turned me off it but still went and recommend seeing it, coolest cars in the world :D

[Big_Chief]

saw the movie yesterday. was pretty sick. i agree with matty 101, how jazz gets owned its pretty gay.

overall 8/10

[Cletus]

in that first part where the helicopter lands in that military base then transforms and wipes the place out, i could'nt belive my eyes, i just sat there stunned and i could'nt breath.
im going to see it again next weekend.

Sorry man, couldn't help but show my inner geek. I've been collecting TF toys for a few years, from G1 up to the current movie line.

At the last census count there was 166 tf's in my collection, that was probably around about *at least* 18months ago

Movie Jazz with a G1 scheme. He used to be a white Porsche

[hubbie]

i've got a mate whos Masterpiece Megatron is held up in customs

[Shaun]

I cannot get over how friggin awesome that movie is. I saw it last night. Sooo good. Some pretty good corny jokes and fantastic cgi. Not to mention, the hot as girls.

" I put in that light, to reflect of that disco ball..."

[DJninja]

Haha Sajica are you that guy of Clekrs II?

I used to have and awesome Optimus Prime that turned into a massive truck and some beast wars but my little brother lost them all.

[spyder6052]

my gf hates most movies that i like to watch and she thought she would go and have a bit of a snooze while watching it, well she was amazed at how good the movie was and was quite suprised at how well the cgi interacted with the real life camera work.

its going to have to be a better than great movie to out do this one

cant wait to see what suprises starscream has for the next movie

starscream pwns megatron imho

Starscream is the king.............;)

Spoiler alert! Don't read the white text if you don't want to know what happens!

During the credits they showed the parents talking about the government. After that they showed a short snippet of Starscream retreating. That was very significant in my opinion as it sets up a good story for a sequel. Also, Optimus Prime sends out the call for all other Autobots to come to earth, that is more evidence that a sequel may be in the pipeline.

I only recently realised that Hugo Weaving is the voice of Megatron.........

Yeah I noticed that two last night, in my second viewing of the film. I think wiki'd it and found out some information about the sequel. Both Shia and Megan Fox have both signed up to do it already, there's some kinks with some of the other actors though.

Also, they might be introducing some sort of aircraft carrier tranaformer in the sequel, something that the budget couldn't allow for the first.

[Suprez]

Aircraft carrier is called Tidal Wave and as far as I know appeared in the Transformers Armada series (2003-2004?). Naturally he is a Decepticon and also appears in the Transformers game released a couple of years ago on PS2 as one of the bosses (also based on the Armada series).

I have no doubt that there will be a second movie, which should be great! Bring on Grimlock :p

<EDIT> Picture of the toy for those interested...

$150 mill is all it cost to made Transformers. The last pirates cost like $300 mill and IMO its not even half as good as Transformers. Kudos for using relatively unknown actors but man John Turrito was a great choice.

[Meh, I'm going to get flamed for this]

I hated it. Ever single minute. I spent the first half an hour wondering how people could have enjoyed it, and the rest of the time wishing I had some nerve gas handy. The plot was....absent, instead they replaced it with explosions. Don't get me wrong I enjoy explosions as much as the next guy, but if I wanted to watch explosions I would get the DVD out and fast forward the "attempts" at dialog.

It was almost saved by the really hot brunette girl, but then she opened her mouth and attempted to string some words together, it wasn't pretty. As for the blond girl, what was the point of her existence?

The jokes were so lame I felt like stapling my ears closed. A couple of times I did manage to laugh, but it was at them, not with them.

If this and Pirates of the Caribbean is the way Hollywood is going then I'm done with it. Where is the depth? Where is the creativity? Where is the....something other than computer generated special effects?

Its got nothing. I want my two hours back.

[Just my opinion, clearly I'm in the minority]

Fair enough mate, no one will give you curry about your opinion of it. Any feedback is good eh! I had a chuckle to myself when you questioned the creativity though.....;)

From my point of view, the movie means so much because I've adored the Transformers brand since I was a little tacker. I was sceptical about the movie and perhaps a little one eyed but I am so glad the movie was made successfully and I loved it. Long live Transformers!

[bazza]

i've watched the original cartoon series many a time and i loved that it was still fairly true to it with the corny one liners, basic plot line, characters were still as they should be to some degree, ie optimus being a big pussy and megatron being a real angry dude, ie ripping autobots in half. i loved it. too much focus on the humans though.

[wombat]

Was I the only one dissapointed by Starcream's voice? I was really looking forward to the whiny, nasal little crackle that he had in the series.

[NCR600]

I am going to see this Transformers movie this arvo.

I'm going to be pissed off if there isn't one that turns into a Lancia Stratos in Alitalia colours.

[bazza]

there was the small starscream joke but yeah. it would of been better if there was more scenes with the deceptacons apart from them just wiping shit out. i was impressed to see megatron turn into the gun and blast optimus and really blast him as well. if that didn't happen i would of been cut.

[sawtell]

today is tuesday.. tightarse tuesday.



i might have to go to the movies.

[wombat]

Hehe, I'm looking through the toys gallery trying to find the first transformer I ever got (I actually got it 18 years before this last movie was released, to the day!). I'm struggling to find him though, so I'm hoping one of you nutters can help me out.

I'm going from memory here because I'm up in Byron and can't check it out, but here's what I remember:
He's a dark blue coupe, but almost looks like a ute at the back.
His underside is fluro orange (and becomes his chest when he transforms).
I *think* he's the one that has two heads, that flip aorund, one decepticon and one autobot, so I think he's a decepticon spy.
And I think there's also an autobot badge on his chest that is heat sensitive, and changes to a decepticon one when you hold your finger over it.

Does anybody know who I''m talking about?

[sawtell]

Success! A bunch of googling and wikiíng has revealed that the character is actually an autobot that has a decepticon identity:
Punch / Counterpunch
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch-Counterpunch).

Here's some more pics of the actual toy (http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php?id=441&size=0&start=0).

[NCR600]

Now that I've seen it, I can comment with some authority...

I went in with VERY low expectations. I hate overused and badly done CGI and bullshit movie physics, so this makes 90% of action movies for me to be pretty much unwatchable. However, I'll make an exception for The Transformers Movie. The CGI was probably the best I've seen yet. While some of it looked fake, most scenes it worked excellently well in, particuarly the reflections of the Autobots/Deceptecons shinier bits. The story for the most part was good, although the Blonde Aussie chick playing the computer nerd could have been cut out completely and replaced by someone who actually looked like a computer nerd and the Brunette girl had too many un-necessary scenes.

And of course, there was always going to be bullshit movie physics and plenty of the technical errors that I love to pick holes in .It makes me feel better about being poor and stupid if I know something that the movie makers don't! Or maybe, like spelling mistakes deliberately placed into fancy restaurant menus, it's done on purpose to give the customer a sense of superiority!

The thing that I really didn't like about it was the annoying and intrusive product placement, but I guess that is a fact of life in modern movies. Still, they could be much more subtle about it.

Anyway. It was a fun movie to watch. I'm not sure I would have seen it unless the missus wanted to, but I'm glad I went. Not bad at all, especially for that sort of movie.

After going to that link, Wombat, I then linked to the 'Transformers' Wikipedia page, where I found the following article & another reason why I love Japan:

Transformers: Kiss Players (2006)


(translated from the Japanese Wikipedia article)

Transformers: Kiss Players was a Japan-only line of Transformers toys, manga, and audio dramas released in 2006. Kiss Players is set in an alternate Transformers universe where the Transformers are powered by the kisses of young girls. The toys themselves come packaged with small, scale figurines of the girls who power them. The toyline was openly admitted to be aimed at a specific part of the market - slightly perverted adults, rather than children. The comic that accompanied the Kiss Players is an unashamed reflection of this, with several images which are, frankly speaking, borderline pornographic.

It is, however, not impossible to see it as a valid vision on Transformers; especially in Japanese series (Godmasters and Car Robots are good examples), the metaphysical power potential of human beings empowering Transformers is a recurring theme.

hmmmmm just a bit disturbing there

i wonder what was going through their minds when they thought of that

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

F*** me! I can honestly say that Transformers is awesome. fair enough it managed to have a lot of the worst aspects of a Modern Blockbuster (hard rock music suddenly firing up out of nowhere because there's a car chase. Hideously overdone product placement. Black urban cliches, excessive slow motion etc) yet it managed to pull it off and become a serious assault on the senses that actually came with some brilliant performances and some good writing. The kid Shia Le Boueff is pretty much a young John Cusack and he's mostly responsible for it turning into another lame arse Michael Bay 'event'.
The Autobots looked amazing although Jazz looked like he'd be a pain in the arse with his urban hip-hop token black autobot schtick. good job he gets ripped in half after only one line of dialogue. Optimus Prime was the shit (despite the flames). A classic heroic leader. Unfortunately the others didn't get much in the way of dialogue or even screen presence. It was definitely more of a 'human' movie.
The Decepticons were menacing but there was really no way of telling them apart when they were in their robot mode. Not much in the way of dialogue from them either but they made up for it by smashing the absolute shit out of everything in their path - bit like myself on a whisky and red wine binge...

At the end of the day I haven't felt that thrilled by a movie since I was a kid (although 28 weeks later came pretty close.) Yeah, it was f***ing cheesy in parts but could have been so much worse. The only problem is now I keep staring at other cars when we're driving and imagining them suddenly sprouting arms and legs and punching on...


SPOILER ALERT: Do not read the above post if you haven't seen the movie. ;)

[Dozer]

I've been looking very closely at every vehicle for 24 years..........is that car here to protect earth or destroy it?:rolleyes:
Tickets are booked, I'm going again tonight! It is a healthy obsession...........honestly.

[sawtell]

i think the real question is, if no one has already asked.. what kind of bike does he ride, when chaseing his car at the start'ish.

i notice it hat DJ's.. that was about it all.


im not goignto give away much of the movie by saying in depth what he was doing and when haha :)

[pin'd_it]

it was bloody terriffic (sp?), soo good. big fan when i was young and this just tops it all off.

[hubbie]

going again tonight!

[mattvincent]

That movie i thought was excelent, i was happy that they casted Megan Fox aswell. lol. And yes it was well worth the $1 that the ticket cost me going again tomorrow

I had hayes brakes, poor bike. I don't think he ever got it back.

[eternalgorias]

I think soundwave should come and repair megatron in the sequel, he was always his loyal right hand man. soundwave would look so awsome, a giant boom box leveling buildings, smashing windows blowing up humans heads with sonic waves and sending out armies of tape Decepticons to destroy shit, plus he has the best voice. Destructocons would be an interesting addition as well.

[l +Jarrod+ l]

I have never been into transformers and the movie was written as you didnt need to be a fan and know all the guys

I LOVED IT !!!

It looked so real and all the little slow-mo segments mad it bloody terific

i assumed that that mini boomb box on the aeroplane, was meant to be soundwave? or an imation of him.

[Ryan]

It's not soundwave, soundwave can actually speak words and is also a jet. It's Frenzy, one of the other spy Decepticons.

Im not sure if this has been mentioned yet but there is a full novel which is a prequel to the movie. Its called Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday and from what ive read about it, it looks like it could possibly be good.

check it out

my fav of all for sure. if optiums was a bit more ruthless than he would get it but hes a bit to pussy.

[hubbie]

just as good second time round. I think Megatron's gone for good isn't he? i don't think they'd recover him from that pit.
I think starscream shooting off at the end suggests he takes control.

You're right, it gets better everytime you see it!
Megatron has come back from bigger falls than that one.............Starscream will never take control of the Decepticons (although he is my favorite bot).
I like to think that some of the military machines used in the movie were shown for prolonged sequences because they will be pivotal in the second film. For those that know what Transformers did what in the old series they'll know the one's I'm thinking of.;)

If my sketchy memory serves me correct dun the Decepticons have an underwater base somewhere? Might be the next plot device.

Arrrrggggghhhhh! Stop giving it away! Make the plebs suffer!:rolleyes::cool:

:p The USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier is being decommissioned next year, so I'm guessing it will reappear in the USN fleet as the decepticon 'Tidal Wave'. Astrotrain will come to Earth with Soundwave, Shockwave, Skywarp, Thundercracker and crew on board to resurrect Megatron. Another battle on Earth erupts...

As for the third movie, it'll be much along the lines of the original cartoon movie. Unicron will be menacing the Universe and everyone will unite to woop his ugly ass, while in the meantime Starscream trys to undermine Megatron. Galvatron will kick Starscream to another universe etc. etc.

Arcee will be back and hotter than ever too :p

And here I am mocking Star Wars geeks when they rattle on with their crap :o

Yeah same. Lot of coin for a rusted and beat up car.

[matty_101]

Yeah same. Lot of coin for a rusted and beat up car.

He bought it off a car salesman, what do you expect?

My predictions for the next transformers movie, Tidal Wave and Thrust will rock up, and it will be a race for all the minicons, but they wont introduce many more charcaters because most of the viewers dont care about the plot, Starscream will get progressively more angry at Megatron (movie number three). And they will mix in a bit of history about Unicron for the third movie.

I didn't watch it much as a kid, so im probably off, but when do comics turned movies follow their intended plot?

[johnny]

Just saw it, wish I hadn't.

What a load of formulaic, cliche'd American bullshit!

Yeah, sure, the effects and fight scenes were cool, but so what? Just make me a goddamned video clip to a song if that's all you've got! Nerdy dude has the key and saves the world with his bravery. Jesus Christ! That's the laziest load of simple minded tried and true play it again Sam Holywood recycled piss you could ever pull out of a first year creative writing class for "special" kids!!

You've even got the sexy chick who leaves the wanker boyfriend and teams up with the dork. It's also got the arsehole cop, the heroic special forces soldier (they're always so good looking in these movies, oh yeah, and that guy was the direct rip off the main character in Aliens 2), the hard arse Secretary of Defence and the mysterious Cancer Man type character who is "above top secret". :rolleyes: My god, that film has got more cliche's in it than Independence Day dubbed in French.

I liked the robots and so on, but they could have just given us 30 minutes of that stuff to a hard rock sound track and left all the other crap out. Seriously, that was a lame attempt to what could have been a hell movie.


I fear coming back to this thread.......:o

Just to spam this (posted in the other thread)... the movie inspired a design:

sorry but i think that was a bit harsh johnny...he is still fairly new to the site:o

i seen the movie yesterday and loved it, i thought it was a bit confussing at some parts and agree with you johnny on some bits

[Steve-0]

:eek: I cant beleive that cube went for $20,100 !!!!

But looking back on the movie.. i do agree with johnny totally.

[johnny]

Yeah, maybe you're right. I sometimes have to remember that just because I've said it a million times doesn't mean that the newer/younger members are aware of the basic standards. Not bloody hard to work out though..., grumble grumble grumble.....

Back OT, whilst I do bag the movie, I will still watch it again. Half of me wants to see the good scenes again and the other half desparately wants to enjoy it. There should be some kind of law that the crappy directors aren't allowed to take on projects that have potential to be a killer flick! One day when I run the world.......

[eternalgorias]

Johnny needs to turn his brain off every now and again and enjoy some irrational entertainment. There were robots, cars, jets,explosions and babes, everything else is inconsequential.

[Breaka]

I've seen the movie twice now. First time I saw it I think I was blown away by the special effects etc to see how lame the plot and dialogue actually was (I did however notice the massive amounts of product placement).

Before seeing it the second time I had read this thread. This tainted it somewhat, but it also put a whole new spin on the movie. I took time take notice of all the negatives which alot of other farkiners have drawn from the movie and I must say that there was......well, a fark load of them. I give it a 10/10 for the visuals but about a 2/10 for the script/plot/dialogue.

Will be seeing it again though.

Why do I get this feeling that the Far Cry movie they are shooting now will be just another Resident Evil. Can't they leave game themes in peace?!

Speaking of games. Transformer - the PC game, is great if you have the logics and reflects of a young child. Other than hours of fun switching them instantly between robots and character-based weapons, the game itself felt like it was rush job (or simply low budget) which lacked a lot of modern day video game elements such as A.I, fluid handling/gameplay, and common sense in the missions.

Blackout is my favourite. Cool and cruel.

wholey shit the game is rat shit for would it could of been, huge letdown. Mo multiplayer, couldn't of been THAT hard to make it so you could belt each other at least. Also I found heaaappppsss of glitches on my Wii and its just frustrating. Still fun dropkicking tanks and cars though. Its also so weird that the bottom of buildings blow up but never the top halves. Very very very very basic game.

Im sorry Johnny i didn't mean to write like that , i was typing in a hurry and it was a instant reflex although, i did think the movie was good but i found it could also be a bit boring too.

Hey, I'm no kid and I felt like punching the screen to liven things up a bit!


Megatron: Quick, hide or his mum and dad will see us and we'll be busted!
Some other dumb arse piece of mechanical crap: Yeah, can't let mum and dad see us...., but we'll just rip the roof of this car full of armed government agents!


This movie was made for the 8-15 year old market. :rolleyes:

What makes that fact even more painful is that there are plenty of movies (think Pixar) aimed at a younger market that can still hold an adult sense of humour in the background and not dumb down things too much.
The family scenes ruined it alone, I can't believe how long some of them dragged on for... c'mon, robots could've been destroying things in that time!

Get your facts right, Beast Wars was another spin off of the transformers franchise, not a rip off. You'll find a ton of different transformers cartoons and hence storylines including generation 1 (the original and the one we have all come to love although many members on this forum would be too young to remember), beast wars, armada, energon, cybertron.... the list goes on.

Personally I was never really a fan of Beast Wars, but I can tell you it's probably the second most popular transformers story line after generation 1.

Possible one of few movies where the enemy actually wins :)

there was a beast wars movie?!:confused:

I remember loving it as a kid. When the Beasts found Optimus Prime hidden i nearly shat my pants. Went back and watched the first few episodes on youtube the other day and realised it was pretty lame. The CGI was terrible haha.
