BTS's Offical Transformers The Movie Thread

Sweet. Nice find

Here are some more pictures.

I think this is Megatron in tank form, but I don't know.

The other one is of Bonecrusher. No idea who he is, but its also in vehicle form.

Looks good
People complaining about the flames need stop being so miserable and show some love for the movie

For those interested, there will be a live chat with the writers of the film tomorrow (8/18/2006) at 11AM PST (2PM EST).

You can find more info here: movies.yahoo.com...

Yes I was reading about that earlier today. I set my alarm so I can't miss it
I even have a blog entry writen up for the information that will be given on the movie, just need to fill in the blanks.

Got the list of Transformers up.

Names of Robots in Transformers Announced.

Forget Transformers....

When are they gonna make a Go-Bots movie?????


(sorry, I recently saw an episode of Go-Bots and was amazed at how they could get away with such a total and utter rip-off)

Legit full body shots of Prime, Bumble Bee (the actual giant anamatronic of him), and some of the decepticons (not too keen on the Starscream design).

Pretty cool but I gotta say I’m not liking Starscream that much. He looks like he has Waspinator’s head or something.

Yeah, no one seems to like him much. I wouldn't be surprised if they change his design a bit.

That's a problem with the approach they've taken with the "no size changing" thing. Everythin has to realistically transform out of its vehicle mode. This accounts for why they look like they do and not why they look like the cartoons. I mean, I can live with that as long as they ACT LIKE THE TRANSFORMERS I KNEW. Putting Cullen in as Prime was a good step.

Unfortuantly, with the approach they took some of the transformers are going to look dumb due to the vehicle they take after. Fortunatly, the star scream picture is of the toy, and thus significantly more limited than wat they can do in the movie.

Why I think he'll look close to that, I doubt in the movie that'll be exactly what he looks like.

The Big Ass Helicopter looks sweet though, as does the scorpian thing.

Okay, I grew up in a tiny town in the Australian outback and we only had one channel which did not include Transformers, so if this is a stupid question, just, you know, ignore it. It's been bugging me for a while, so here it is:

What did the Transformers look like in their original forms on Cybertron? I mean, I know why they look like and can transform into Earth vehicles (because of the quick repair job done by scanning Earth vehicles), but what did they look like before this? Is it just a coincidence that Prime's chest is made of a windshield and his abs are a grill? What did he look like before his truckification?

Without having pictures it's hard to show you... you can do two things...

1, rent the 1st disc of the TV show and watch it. It shows everyone before their "earthification."

2. Find the first issue of the MArvel comic book, same stuff as number 1.

3. Rent the movie. The transformers on Cybertron (i.e. Arcee, Cup) look like the ones on earth. Futuristic, but still like trucks, cars, and other vehicles.

Basically, Prime still transformed the same, exept the earth parts were the equivilant parts from his "futuristic" look.

Hope this helps.

From what I've read, Megatron will not look "earthy" in the movie. He views "earthification" beneath him, and will thus still have his Cybertron look, and unlike starscream (who was earthified to look like an f-22 raptor) he'll just look like a futuristic looking jet, or something.

I tell you what, if you can't get excited watching that Transformers preview on that Transformers website, then I don't know what's wrong with you. That was badarse.

I told my nine year old nephew about the Transformers movie coming out and he said "what are Transformers?". After that it told him I was going to put him in a box and ship him to Iraq. Needless to say he'll know about Transformers once the movie gets close to release.

Also, whoever made those toys is going to hit the motherload again.

Peace

Here is Prime's Cybertron mode on the top right.



Bumblebee on Cybertron.


Also here is an update on the movie from Bay's message board

Megatron can be seen here... www.tfw2005.com...

Now I know what they meant when they said he was going to still look Cybertronian. I can't say I dig the look...but meh, he still looks cool, just different.

I think most of the Autobots are getting the better looks here. Aside from the giant Helocopter thing the Decepticons look crappy. Prime and Bumblebee on the other hand look pretty good.

-Steve

...
Is there a face in there?

Definanly alien looking that's for sure.

The teaser trailer I saw for this is pretty cool. Am really looking orward to seeing the movie. Will look great on the big screen.

I got your Prime pictures right here...behold his robot form!

Ah finally. I do have to say I like the earlier posted sketch better. I would like to see his chest more truck-like.
Nice to finally see a gun too
