Seriously. I think a movie about giant fucking robot cars is about the only thing that HASN'T been done in America. What's the problem here? I never owned any Transformer toys as a kid, I've never seen the old cartoon, but just the idea of this movie is awesome. I can't freakin' wait.soundwave05 said:If they can make a "Dukes of Hazzard" movie, a "Bewitched" movie, two "Brady Bunch" movies, and something called "Dude, Where's My Car?" ... why not "Transformers"?
And while yes the TV show if you watch it now is obviously for kids (who else would it be for?) ... the Transformers animated movie is still pretty cool.

Define realistically colored. He'll almost certainly be silver plastic (if not painted silver), and he's not a realistic gun to start with, which means they don't have to put a little orange cap on them (i.e. Jango Fett's toy blasters)Outcast2004 said:We'll see....
It sure as hell won't be realistically colored. You can't.
At the VERY least it WILL have a bright orange tip. That much is LAW.
tedtropy said:Amen. Nostalgia is neat and all, but have any of you actually gone back and watched the G1 stuff or The Movie lately? It hasn't exactly aged like wine. The later episodes of Beast Wars had some amazingly solid stories and characters. I nearly wept like a little bitch when they killed off Dinobot.

Sallokin said:Hey, I work out here at Holloman AFB, in New Mexico. The Transformers movie started filming here last week. Some slight spoilersBumblebee is going to start out as a 1970's Camaro, get really f-ed up, then be rebuilt as a 2008 Camero. Starscream is going to be an F-22 Raptor, and the according to some of the gaffers, Optimus Prime is going to be a fire truck. I've also seen a call shee that had something regarding Vortex on them. They're basing part of the story on the war in the middle east with terrorists etc. They've done some filming with actual Autobot frames that stand roughly 15 feet high. They've done a shot where they buried an autobot (I don't know which one) in sand and had the fans blow the sand off of it as its eyes flickered to life. They're filming out in restricted areas, so cameras, cell phones, etc are prohibited. This info isn't 100% as it's come from different people associated with the production (extras, assistants, gaffers, caterers) but you can expect most of this in the film

Its not like they are busy or anything I mean how many Eeyore jobs and GIJoeCons are there. I'd rather they skimp on the CG and get the orig voices.acidviper said:Does anyone know if they are using the G1 voice actors?
