Like I give a SHIT!!!! by Han Cholo	May 16th, 2008 08:07:02 PM
This movie's gonna suck no matter who they include. I guaran-damn-tee Soundwave and Ravage won't look anything like their G-1 counterparts. I'll go so far as to say they won't even be somewhat familiar. I say this is the catalyst for backlash against the filmmakers. But hey, enough idiots paid to see the first movie so I really don't have any faith left in humanity or those who don't demand any kind of quality in their films.
Soundwave? by Gwai Lo	May 16th, 2008 08:12:06 PM
I thought they adapted him into the little Boombox guy that made Ewok noises in the first one. You mean they're actually going to have a Giant Tapedeck transformer?
Transformers 2: Talkback Wars Strike Back by Prossor	May 16th, 2008 08:12:59 PM
it has begun. Sir! Our military outpost has just reported giant robots on the horizon! Dont bother me asshole im posting on AICN right now.
I'm sure Apple is busy bidding right now... by photoboy	May 16th, 2008 08:14:21 PM
... for Soundwave to transform into an iPod. Remember: mass shifting is only a problem when it isn't turning into something you can get product placement money for! Unless this film is a total reboot with the old designs in place and an un-fucked with origin story it's still going to suck ass. And Shitey The Beef will only make is worse. Will Megan Fox's pasties be in it too?
Why not film in China right now? by The Dum Guy	May 16th, 2008 08:14:35 PM
That country looks so fucked up right now, they can use the footage as an aftermath.

Gotta have Hound, Hot Rod, and Inferno in this one by Reload	May 16th, 2008 08:33:52 PM
And maybe in future iterations, Orci could include The Dinobots, The Constructicons, and Shockwave. I still have that Shockwave toy and if I remember correctly, he was a pretty important character.
Young Asian Boys? by Herb West	May 16th, 2008 08:34:34 PM
Oh, it's being directed by Brian Singer then.

It looks like, like, a steel mill. Holy fucking shit. If you go anywhere in the central United States you'll see them!
But will it have army guys and useless computer hackers? by Jobacca	May 16th, 2008 08:42:51 PM
Cause I know that hwta I want to see in my Transformers movie. An A story about teenage love,a B story about the army,and a C story about a hot computer hacker and her whacky black stereotype sidekicks. Oh and maybe a shot or two of what may or may not be horribly designed CGI "robots"...if they have the time.
I kid,I kid...Transformers is a fine movie. by Jobacca	May 16th, 2008 08:46:22 PM
If you're drunk and/or functionally retarded. Is that Megatron? Is that his arm or his leg? Who is he fighting? Why can I only make out CGI metal blurs and flames and nipples? Forget it Jake....its TINO.
Soundwave by Herb West	May 16th, 2008 08:54:58 PM
Wasn't he the CD player robot in the first one? And who is Ravage? Anyone?

I believe Ravage was the cassette tape that transformed into the panther. I think.
MEGATRON vs Barak Obama! by W3bzpinn3r	May 16th, 2008 09:06:19 PM
All things considered, I'd rather take my chances with Megatron.
Bass Bastardson by Herb West	May 16th, 2008 09:06:35 PM
Thanks, I was afraid of something like that. How are they going to have another CD/Player-Tape deck that is big enough to have a panther robot pop out of it's chest. I hope that's one of those false rumors Bay promised to spread.
I almost forgot.... by Jobacca	May 16th, 2008 09:20:00 PM
The sequel also need more piss jokes involving Men In Black rejects and uncomfortable masturbation jokes. Oh Transformers...if my heart were a trailer hitch,you'd suck the chrome off of it!
Q: Who else can Bay offend? by JusticeSabre	May 16th, 2008 09:26:44 PM
A: The Chinese. He's already covered South Asians, Latinos and Blacks. Let's go for the Chinese and maybe Eastern Euros. Round it all out.
Fuck the Offended by slugbat	May 16th, 2008 10:05:43 PM
Get the fuck out if you can't take a racial joke. Lord knows us honks take enough shit, even though we brought the world out of the dark ages. "Oh, no, a white guy made fun of someone of another race. Let's all sue and cry and pass another piece of fucked up hate speech legislation!" Thanks to pussy-ass bleeding hearts like JusticeSabre, we can't even enjoy a laugh at an Asian's expense before they and their Mexican associates breed us out of existence in a hundred years time. Where was I? Oh yeah, Bayformers 2: Electric Buttfuck-Aloo.
BUMBLEBEE = R2D2/C3PO...anyone ever notice that? by The Marquis de Side 3	May 16th, 2008 10:12:49 PM
The first half of the film, Bumbleblee blips and hums like R2D2, then in the second half of the half of the film, he's all British like C3P0. Not very original. Wonder what other film franchises the Bay Man will plunder next for his characters.

Marquis, by Dingbatty	May 16th, 2008 10:24:10 PM
verily, the movie sucked, but at least Bumblebee was voiced by the actor Mark Ryan, who played the badazz character Nasir in the 1980's ITV series Robin of Sherwood. The twin scimitar-wielding Nasir was ripped off by R.A. Salvatore as inspiration for his character Drizzt.
Will the Autobots and Decepticons be in this one? by Dingbatty	May 16th, 2008 10:25:25 PM

Phil, more rantage... by slugbat	May 16th, 2008 10:30:42 PM
Oh my God, I can't believe someone tried to credit another race with being the "true creators" of something. You never hear THAT from the education system or Hollywood propaganda machine! Funny how the Chinese are credited with everything from football to Winchesters, even though the "weapons" they fashioned with gunpowder had little to do with the European technology and remained primitive until European interaction. But don't let the facts get in the way of your revisionist agenda, bro. I'm surprised you didn't credit "Native Americans" (Indians) with the Declaration of Independence or the Magna Carta, because if you brainwashed anti-white zombies don't credit the Chinese with something, it has to go to the Indians. Lord knows whites can't be responsible for things like democracy, modern medicine, science, technology or any other fucking thing. Sorry, guys, for the rant: let me go back to hating my own race like the rest of ya...

slugbat by Kai_Mah'gra	May 16th, 2008 11:32:47 PM
.......whites are not responsible for any of that crap you just listed. They are however responsible for stealing it all from other races they encountered, colonized and plundered, and then trying to claim it as their own. But then again you're probably right - why pay attention to silly little annoyances like education, history or even science or facts? Right? All we have to do is attend Klan meetings like you and then we'll all be an enlightened, superior and blisteringly advanced pure race just like you and just like you're taught there. Now where did I put my white sheets and hood; don't forget the cross, the gas and matches - we gon' lynch us sum chinks, sum spics and sum niggers tonite....... yeeeeeeee-haw!!!!

"The second will deliver on a true Transformers story" by Big Dumb Ape	May 17th, 2008 12:02:02 AM
Translation: Orci's way of finally admitting, "Yeah, we wrote a fucking piece of shit the first time around...and truth be told, the check cleared and I'm gonna make a boatload of cash in royalties AND get away with shoveling shit a second time around...but at least this time we''ll TRY to get it right." But of course they won't, so it's nice that Orci is ALREADY telling TF fans to gear down any expectations...
"ROCK 'EM, SOCK 'EM ROBOTS-THE MOVIE" by Uncapie	May 17th, 2008 12:04:34 AM

Why was it that Optimus arrived late...? by hank henshaw	May 17th, 2008 12:16:11 AM
Why was it that Optimus arrived like half hour late to the last fight? The obvious answer is "so that some autobot could die and Optimus could make a dramatic entrance"... but did they give some excuse for that? He had a flat tire or something?

..actually by redkamel	May 17th, 2008 01:37:20 AM
slugbat: actually a lot of the US constitution was influenced by Native American beliefs that each man is his own and free to live as he pleases, and non-subservient to others, let alone a king. Compare Native American social hierarchy and European social classes and you'll see. I just thought it was funny you mentioned that as a "crazy hyperbolic example" when it is true. Willem Dafoe WOULD be an awesome starscream. Too bad Bay wants to make giant robot movies and not a character driven Transformers movie, which it totally possible. I mean, besides the names, Optimus, and transforming, there is very little to nothing that matches the original show.
by redkamel	May 17th, 2008 01:39:13 AM
I just realized the original show was a giant robot movie and NOT a character driven show, but you know what I mean, there was potential to make characters we cared about in the vein of Woody and Buzz, etc, animated characters kids knew and would remember forever.

He really is a cool guy and a huge fan of Transformers. Don't blame Orci for the shortcomings of the movies... it's Bay's fault.

"Don't blame Orci" by youhatestarwars	May 17th, 2008 06:27:03 AM
Okay, if you can prove to me that the 'hiding' scene, masturbation hilarity, "what's crackin' little bitches", not one but three fat black people because hey fat black people are comedy gold, sub-cartoon quasi-fantasy mcguffin-driven plot stretched to 2 1/2 hours, and an absolute dearth of stimulation of any kind for anyone over the age of twelve other than Megan Fox arched over Bumblebee's hood were Bay's fault, then fair enough, Orci, Kurtzman and Rogers are absolved of blame. Actually, don't bother, they probably were.
Local Asian boys in Bethlehem, PA? HAHAHAHAHA!!! by YackBacker	May 17th, 2008 07:27:34 AM
Look, I went to school out in that part of PA, and there's slim pickens for Asian boys, let alone PEOPLE! God, Hollywood cracks me up. Seriously, I can't wait to see how TRANSFORMERS 2 explains why there's a Denny's restaurant in the long shot of this Chinese steel mill.

Obama will jump out of Airforce One seeing his own by CrichtonAstronut	May 17th, 2008 08:32:32 AM
secret service detail and thinking they've come to arrest him and he'll be running down the runway, saying "Get off my momma's rug," and "I ate all the donuts." Because that's all black people are like in Bay's world.
Or maybe he'll spend half the movie saying "Left by CrichtonAstronut	May 17th, 2008 08:33:23 AM
Butt Cheek." "Left Butt Cheek"
I love how people defend Transformers lack of well by CrichtonAstronut	May 17th, 2008 08:40:36 AM
Transformers by saying How can you make a good character based movie about Giant Robots. well of Bay can't make good character based movie about Giant Robots. He can't get emotion out of his human actors. Now a good director could get an emotionally arresting scen out of a sock puppet. But of course Bay just doesn't have the skills. Or the instincts.
The sad thing is Transformers could be aq brilliant movie by CrichtonAstronut	May 17th, 2008 08:43:49 AM
If they just get Bay as far the fuck away from this project as possible. how does this guy keep getting fucking jobs. The nineties were the worst fucking decade for action movies and Micheal Bay was about ninety percent of the reason why.
Weel that's true. Just like you can't make a good by CrichtonAstronut	May 17th, 2008 08:54:57 AM
move about some guy running around in a black cape fighting bad guys and dealing with his daddy issues. Or a billionaire playboy building a red armour suit in his garage. Oh yeah, I forgot a good director can.
How is any black actor gonnabe able to jutify by CrichtonAstronut	May 17th, 2008 09:02:45 AM
working with Michael after the fuckling fat Amos and Andy he quite unnesseccarily put in the middle of Tranformers. I'm sitting here watching a 21st century movie and getting blindsided by 1930s racial politics. I'm surprised he didn't have drunk Irishmen in gorilla suits with green vests. Jesus. What century does this guy live in? Maybe next time he can just put all his black actors in Black Face and red lipstick and have them tap dance the whole movie.

you might notice i'm not the only one on this Talback who thought Transformers could've been handled better. At least most f US are talking about the movie instead of throwing weird and off topic accusations about gay men.
Hmmm, sounds like that leaked script is still right by ganymede3010	May 17th, 2008 09:55:39 AM
Sorry guys, but that leaked script was real I think(Some Portions of it). This movie will be about Starscream's faction VS Soundwave's faction. Which sucks IMO, because the only way this movie could end is with Starscream dying. But I hope Robert Orci isn't that stupid to kill off such an iconic character in the second film. But... Starscream does have an everlasting allspark. Anyways, that's just my two cents.

I can't wait to see Soundwave. He definitely won't be a tape deck, but I'd bet the souls of telemarketer, crichtonastronut, and all the other 11 year olds here that Soundwave will be a television mobile broadcast van. It makes perfect sense, and the various broadcast electronics inside can be his minions.
Hang on, let me get this straight Orci is basically saying ... by The Gospel According to Bastardface	May 17th, 2008 10:49:25 AM
That every minute of Transformers on screen was $60M. So, Transformers had a budget of one billion dollars, and Transformers 2: Trust Us will have a budget of ten billion.

Orci n and his partner proclaim to be real transformers heads, LIES, In there first net interview they could barely get the names right, second I tired of people blaming BAY, All he does is direct what's giving to him, so if he gets shit, expect nice color explosive shit when he's done. He does not write the story's, how can you expect some one to direct a masterpiece if it's not a masterpiece? All i will blame Bay for is he chooses to not make things get re written and he excepts what giving to him for a check, but at the end of the day he has to eat to... OH and if any of you read or remember the script for the first movie, bay didn't change nothing that was wrote by those two, so blame them for bucher the movie, Not BAY

TFcould be brilliant... by TheSecondQuest	May 17th, 2008 03:57:17 PM
But they'll refuse to go into the characters as deeply as the comics portrayed they could be. Actually, though I wouldn't have epxected 10 pages, material likle that is where a lot of the untapped dramatic content lays. You have all these characters who, regardless of what their profession once was (be it politician, artist or hard laborer, etc), have been forced to choose a side and fight in the Great War. With all the wealth of material to draw upon, you technically should be able to write a Transformers story about the characters and make it work even if the characters couldn't transform or were robots, and make it just as exciting. The fact that they are transforming robots just adds an extra level of cool to the story. Take Starscream, for example. Here you have an explorer who once had friends he trusted, and served in the pursuit of science and knowledge. However that pursuit eventually caused his closest friend to be lost to him (and even when they were reunited, Starscream had fallen so far that Skyfire couldn't stay with him, thus adding to Starscream's sense of betrayal by others), sending him down a path of bitterness that led him to not trust anyone, and, upon the outbreak of the war, to seek out power for himself and manipulate those around him in that selfish pursuit. Little did he know his past exploration efforts would inadvertedly lead eventually to the end of the war as well as a violent death for himself, a death that would cause his soul/spark to linger for centuries. His more noble past literally killed his treacherous present, and damned his future. Now that's ample material to draw upon for some fantastic character development set against the backdrop of the war.
Soundwave could have worked! If the allspark... by Violator90	May 17th, 2008 05:21:26 PM
that was the size of a small wharehouse could shrink down to the size of a show box, why can't we have a cd(tape?) player shrink and grown in size??? Bay already fucked up the first with stupidity, hell why not give the fans what they want! At this point, it doesn't matter now, just as long as Bay gives the fans REAL Transformers that have SOME familiarity to their o.g. couterparts-then its all good. No one minds the updated but, DAMN! Plain out just making them indistinguishable defeated the whole point of making a Transformers movie! Bay you suck elephant cock while getting raped by a lion.
It will be awesome. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 17th, 2008 05:25:02 PM
The first one was and this one will be better. Screw the Bay haters he got Transformers right. It's the only movie with the beef I can stand.
yeah that was fucked up by redkamel	May 17th, 2008 07:43:16 PM
how all the fans got this whole spiel about the robots being "real" and "no mass shifting!" then the allspark and the stupid radio robot (when his head becomes a cellphone) do it. This could have been a real long lasting series LOTS of people would have gotten pumped for a la batman but the people in charge PISSED it away. I'll say it again. PISSED it away. Could have been an awesome movie from an awesome awesome movie brand that had tons and tons of mythos for fans, and nostalgia for everyone born in about a decade time period. Secondquest feels my pain.
....and by redkamel	May 17th, 2008 07:46:21 PM

That the die-hard kool aid drinkers assume that all the "haters" will still shell out ten bucks and go see it just to have something to bitch about. I could barely last through the first one and I can tell you right now, I WILL NEVER SEE TRANSFORMERS 2 !!! If they air it while I'm on a plane,I'll still get up and leave. I said the same thing about Pirates 3 and I've still never seen that shit.

Why the hell didn't Scorponok transform? Oh and lets have the giant ship Tidal Wave retrieving Megatron from the oceon, that'd be cool. Oh and more Starscream, waaaaay more Starscream. And I want at least one scene dedicated to Starscreams plans to become leader. I know with Michael Bay characterisation is too many letters for him to understand the whole word, but please try to make them a bit more interesting this time - we were dazzled by it all first time round but don't expect everyone to be knocked down second time around, add a couple of layers to the first films gimmick-skeleton and we'll all bite. And less gay, military, afgahnistan-maraudng, whooping-redneck pleasing, back-slapping, rocket-launching, crotch-cupping 'Gawd-damn' star spangled flag fellatio bullshit too. What is it with you and macho gay bullshit, Bay? If you're so straight why did you see fit to have only two notable hot women in the film and then decide to fill the rest of the cast with a bunch of macho marine types? Ever played GTA4 Bay? Yeah well you know Brucie? That's you that is. Sort it out, and come out of the closet dude.

The only local Asians in Bethlehem... by waylayer	May 18th, 2008 02:48:02 AM
... are the engineering majors at Lehigh. The vast majority of the downtown non-student residents are Hispanic. Across the river you have the affluent (overpriced shopping included) and historic sections of the city, where some of the Lehigh professors live. They city is tearing down what's left of Bethlehem Steel to put up a slots casino, in hopes of putting more money/jobs into the community. This concludes our tour of historic/beaten down Bethlehem, PA. Please exit to the right.

I'm slightly horrified at my behavior a year ago. But you're right, they are epic. Starting with that first spy photo of the Optimus rig, adorned in glorious red and orange flames...
It's a better balance between the humans and the Transformers. by skimn	May 18th, 2008 12:49:51 PM
Like the hide and seek scene at the parents house? Or the subtle "you can't see me, you can't see me" escape of the boombox robot from Air Force One? A handfull of minutes of Giant Robots Kicking Ass, does not compensate for the rest of the movie sucking royal ass.

WTF: Transformers ROCKED by Jabroni	May 19th, 2008 02:22:57 AM
Can't get over the hate on this fuckin board. I thought Transformers kicked ass I saw it twice in the theatres and bought the DVD and watched it that fucking day. That fucking robot battle on the streets of LA was awesome. You fuckers need to quite jerking off to the Thundercats in your mommies basements and make your own fucking movies you sorry pricks. Or maybe we should just watch the original Star Wars Trilogy over and over and never let anyone make another movie again.
Whatever, I mean, 50/50 TF humans isn't good enough by godzillasushi	May 19th, 2008 08:55:45 AM
I can understand the budget thing, but Shia should be the only human featured prominently IMO. Just because you can't afford to have those things in every scene doesn't mean you fill the space with useless people. It's that dude's movie anyway, outside of the giant robots the movie is actually named after.
RE: Jabroni by godzillasushi	May 19th, 2008 08:57:03 AM
Real original man. The whole basement thing, brilliant and classy.
RE: RE: Jabroni by monkeyspanker	May 19th, 2008 09:43:39 AM
Yeah, real original. As if ANYTHING in this thread is original. Jabroni has it right. Nothin but a board full of haters who all went to see the movie anyways. If it's so horrible, why do you guys keep going to watch these things? There are plenty of movies out there I don't care for, somehow I seem to be able to express my opinion by not going to see it as opposed to bitching about it on a talkback form. And Han Cholo, if someone going to see a movie, ANY MOVIE, causes you to lose faith in humanity, you give movies way more power than they deserve. They are simply a medium for entertainment, not a ruler by which to judge the human race. If I ever saw a big budget movie of the original transformers, I think I'd have to walk out of the theater. Boo hoo, I want a real origin. Hey, we all came from another planet and we just happen to look like vehicles on your planet. Neato! The level of gayzor in the theater would be unreal. BUT.... you 50 guys here that hate what they did with the movie could walk out patting each other's butts like you just won a game of football and sleep well that night under your transformers covers, knowing that even though it wasn't popular, they stuck exactly to one of the lamest stories out there. A cartoon created AFTER the toy merely as a marketing tool. Yeah, great storylines there. That cartoon was a joke. Thank GOD for michael bay and his action sequences. I love my eye candy.
Hard to not like a movie if they don't see it first... by godzillasushi	May 19th, 2008 10:05:27 AM
right monkeyspanker? The whole "Don't see it if you don't like it" is a dead horse argument everyone likes to beat. (REAL ORIGINAL) So you don't care for anything more then eye candy? I can't argue they weren't great action set peices, but don't you want a little more then that from a movie? I'd love to know what other movies you like. Eye candy is pretty shallow...
'Zilla and MonkeySpanker... by DeeJay	May 19th, 2008 12:09:27 PM
... you've got to admit that the way that diehard Transformers fans crow about the earlier versions is pretty interesting. If Bay could do something to appease these self-proclaimed "fanboys," it would be something that would make him the envy of Hollywood. This is why I suggested he do something such as use a bit character from part 1 to "wink" at the diehards (for instance, have Miles oocasionally present himself with different last names... those matching some of Bays biggest haters... and using paraphrased dialog from some of the worst vitriol written about him). The fact that Bay and Lebouf cited some of these quotes on the DVD featurettes tells me he should do something about it. Granted, I'm disappointed in how so many miss the larger philosophical point--- about the right to be free--- he's made in almost every one of his movies, but I guess that's how it goes. Considering how "Entourage" became the apple of AICN's eye when they parodied Harry Knowles, maybe an amalgamated tuckerization of members of this online Bay-hater Legion of the World (call them BLOW) would serve to let them know that he's listening... even if he and his crew aren't going to do everything they say.
Well... by godzillasushi	May 19th, 2008 12:32:45 PM
I don't know what tuckerization is or if I'm missing on a joke there. What's your point? Not being negative, just curious what you really mean in four words or less. My complaints are mostly based around the script of the first movie anyway. It stems more from that then Bay. Eh....
:-) by DeeJay	May 19th, 2008 04:47:16 PM
'Zilla... Basically, "clowning" the haters in good fun. Like a parody...
