More Than Meets The Eye
Well, looks like another childhood memory down the toilet! heh… well, it might not be that bad. But really…. I mean, why make Bumblebee into a CAMARO??? Huh??? They should have made him turn into one of those new bugs or something. I know sometimes things need to be “updated” for film, but what I don’t like is when they don’t tell you WHY they’re doing it. Why mess with those aspects? Why won’t they work on film? I’m not saying the will, but I’d like to hear why they make big changes to something like that. Oh, they might not be “big changes” to some people… but Bumblebee is a Camaro!?! — That’s pretty weird.
I heard that HOTROD changes into a 1980s breakdancer. Now THAT I would expect.
Anyone know what voice Dane Cook will be in the movie? Or is he in it as a cameo? Let me search the web real fast…. looks like internet opinion is leaning toward a cameo. He does a great line of jokes about naming his kids after transformers that’s pretty funny.
I really wish I could turn into a giant middle finger though. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Just to EET-ORNT-ORNT-ORNT-EET! right in front of someone that’s messing with you?
Enjoy your Friday.
PS, George Bush is dumb. “Enemies of Liberty”— That’s so dumb. It must be election time again, eh?

This isn’t a G1 movie and some changes were needed like Bumblebee because VW wouldn’t give them the rights. Besides Megatron being a gun is kinda dumb for a main villain I wold rather him being a tank or something else on the next movie.

Atleast we still have a few other childhood cartoons that haven’t been ruined
gargoyles, captain planet, hong kong fuey (number one super guy), dungeons and dragons
i could just keep going on but it just makes me want to watch them again
September 1st, 2006 at 7:26 am
Unfortunitely neil, they did kinda screw with dungeons and dragons, remember that godawfull movie?
And really, could Cap’n Planet have been any worse then it originally was? lol
Gargoyles was good, shame it didn’t last longer.

I don’t know if you saw it or not, but there was a web interview with the creators and they explained WHY Bumblebee is a Camaro. I don’t agree… Bumblebee should always be a small car of some sort. As for Megatron not being a gun, I heard that was because the creators didn’t want to have the Mass Change issue. But still, Megatron should have been a tank or something like that.
I will probably go see it since they have the One, the Only, REAL Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen. Autobots, Transform and Roll out!

The reason Bumblebee is a Camaro instead of a Volkswagon Bug is because they’re going for the mullet market instead of the 60s hippies/1940s Nazi demographic that the cartoon went for.
Or I’m talking out my ass again.

Is that MBay quote (”I won’t give VW any free advertising”) made up? I wish I could have been there when he said it; sounds like he’s a real sell-out, artistic vision my arse.
Also, I agree that Megatron should have still been a gun–there is so much they could have done with that. Imagine some arms dealer trying to fence him, or Megatron showing up on some CIA report: “Mr. President, we don’t know what it is, but we’ve got pictures of it in North Korea and Pakistan; frankly, we’re crapping our pants down here.”
I just think every director out there thinks, “I won’t be remembered at all if I just give them what they want.”

Now lets see………Micheal Bay…….Mr Roboto………..the head of Volkswagon US…..erm….yep that seems to be my weekend arse punching list finished.
Bunch of Hollywood savages…… If there’s ever a Centurians movie made i’ll definatly go bandit, reynolds style!!
Man and machine, power extreme….yeah!
September 1st, 2006 at 8:53 am
Marc, was that dungeons and dragons movie really based on the cartoon? i thought it was just the D&D style world (as in D&D game not the series)
as for captain planet, it was a terrible series, but i just watched it because i kept laughing at the kid who had the power of heart….. poor bugger….

In the long run, the Transformers movie isn’t that important.
But they better not fuck up the big screen version of the cartoon, “Rubik: The Amazing Cube,” and they better go with Ron Palillo as the voice again.

Michael Bay is a talentless hack director who gets to do big budget movies and then blows that budget on explosions to cover the lack of substance created by his lack of any real talent. If the transformers film stayed 100% true to the original series it would still turn out shitty.

They also renamed Vortex to Incinerator for some unknown reason as well.
I have a friend in the USAF that was on the set since they were using a real chopper for the vechile mode and he was part of the tech crew for it.
He also gets killed by it at some point in the movie as well.

I’ve been saying that Bay will destroy childhood memories for years now. Megatron is a Walther P38, Optimus is a cab over Peterbuilt, Bumblebee is a VW bug and Starscream is an F-15. Man, I miss the G1 transformers almost as much as Michael Bay missed the point with Pearl Harbor.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:01 pm
For the love of a buck, a fond childhood memory was assraped and murdered on the big screen with bright colors and fancy sound effects. Michael Bay insists that it brings out that delicious imitation buttery flavor in the popcorn and makes the soda extra bubbly but I’d have to disagree.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:58 pm
I don’t get it why is Bay killing your childhood? It’s not like Transformers was the same cartoon in these past 20 years. Hell Megatron was a croc once and Optimus a fire truck. This is just like a new show it’s a new toyline.

#1 : Your wife would never care nor bother to ask how you’re feeling .
#2 : Michael Bay needs to be transformed into the living , breathing dildo that he is . Just stick with what they are ! Cheese and crackers ,people . We need to start rioting or something. Hey ,here’s a grand idea . Let’s change Soundwave into a ” physically challenged ” asian gal who just happens to be a way cool beatboxer ! Yay ! No respect for the original creative teams and all their works is fun ya’ johnny come lately mutha’ fuggas’ !

FUCK ALL OF YOU CAPTAIN PLANET HATERS!!!
You can’t dis a show that made a generation care about the environment. Now that we’re getting all nestalgic, anyone ever see Denver the Last Dinosaur? Awesome.
Micheal Bay = Unnessecary amounts of explosions
Luckily they do have a bad ass for Optimus, hopefully they dont pull a kill Optimus and make Rodimus Prime. Even the cartoon couldn’t deal with that.
I just can’t wait to see soudwave, the destructicons, Jetfire, and the rest all bad ass.
Does anyone read the newer comics of the Transformers? If you haven’t you should, They’re amazing right now.
Well Im out….
September 1st, 2006 at 9:15 pm
From what i have read about the movie Soundwave will not be in it at all. I believe the reason being for future sequels of some crap like that. But yea that is a real kick in the ass about Bumblebee…yeesh at least make him into a civic or something…basicly keeping the idea of him being the little runt he was in the series alive…not this mulletude wanna be camaro. The more i read about the movie the less i wanna see it.
September 2nd, 2006 at 6:24 am
…..Captain Planet……The Castro……Mr Roboto is going on there twice……
Cock me it’s gonna be a busy weekend!
September 2nd, 2006 at 7:45 am
Sigh. I wish *I* had the ability to transform into a giant hand giving someone the finger. It would come in *really* handy at work…
September 2nd, 2006 at 8:06 am
Not that I should even bother with your little ” Cartton - fest ” but do any of you have a plausible response for this : Why aren’t there any female “Transformers ” in this series ? The lot of you go on and on over a ” bumblebee ” or a volkswagen or whatnot but let’s not forget that we are in the 21st century now , boys . Where is the diversity in your all -so -important - cartoon ?
September 2nd, 2006 at 9:05 am
Wahhhhhhh!
September 2nd, 2006 at 10:05 am
Does’t anyone know what year Camaro Bumblebee will be? If he is one of the soon to be released new models, the whole point of it is for Chevrolet to make money and sell there new Camaros
September 2nd, 2006 at 11:18 am
Diane R: Because they don’t have enough room for Arcee, Elita-One, Firestar, Beta, Chromia and Moonracer.
Damn, I pulled their names from memory. Does that make me a huge Transformers nerd or what?

Wow, they look really really gay. Damnit I hate Bay, can’t we try and get him commited due to stupidity?
September 11th, 2006 at 7:47 am
[…] Man, everytime I hear something about the new Transformers movie I get more and more annoyed. Can Michael Bay screw this film up any further? […]
