EYE love Transformers! Sorry, I do like Transformers though. I own the older movie- set in 2005.

Hory Crap! Are you serious! A live action Transformers movie! Oh my, I think I'm hyperventilating, this is amazing. Woohaa! Heh heh, wow... there is a god. That looks awesome.

The film's official site is live as well, though right now it's just the poster image, a "sign here for updates", and a mysterious countdown to something almost a month from now.

Oh my gosh, I think I just laid an egg.
Is it just me, or does that look more like Primal than Prime?
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
That's supposed to be a Decepticon's eye, according to AICN.

The grey color and perpetual scowl had me thinking Megatron.

woot.

Maybe a countdown to a teaser trailer? One can only hope.
I only worry about the voices, are they getting the voice actors from the original cartoons series?
I can't imagine Optimus, Blur, Grimlock, Megatron, Soundwave, or Starscream (cobra commander!) as being voiced by anyone else.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
The poster is looking pretty good.
Posted by Swampjedi (Member # 7374) on :
Duh, I thought I had read it was supposed to be Prime.
Lyrhawn, you're absolutely right. Except the part about Blur. He needed to die. Horribly. So any voice is fine, as long as it's silenced. Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
The voices of the Transformers have yet to be disclosed. Human cast members can be viewed at the IMDB entry.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I can do without Blur. The micromachine guy had no place in Transformer lore anyway.

It's the countdown to the release date.
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
It gives the release date as "July 4th, 2007".
The countdown says (currently) 26 days.
So unless the world's time flow is disrupted... Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Does any movie come out on that date that might contain the trailer?

Well, yes, the release date minus one year.
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
It's rumored that both Superman Returns and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest may have a Transformers movie "announcement" teaser attached.

Yeah, I completely missed the year part.
My bad.

Another movie I now am waiting for. This makes 3 now. - EG - Talledega Nights - Transformers
I have the original cartoon movie on DVD and VHS. The VHS has yet to come out of the plastic.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I have the original cartoon movie on VHS, and the second movie on my computer along with bits and pieces of the first season. I'd love to buy the two seasons that are out of Transformers on DVD, but they are charging a ridiculous sum for them. Or at least they were last time I bothered to look.
Thanks for the info Puffy!
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
The prices are still outrageous.
Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :
Yep, I bought all the season DVDs (ORIGINAL Transformers ONLY) a while ago. Glad I did then instead of waiting till I had almost no money.

Well, if Starscream is in it, he'll have to be voiced by someone else, since Chris Latta is dead.
I suspect none of the originals will be used, studio decisions being what they are. You would think they'd at least get Peter Cullen and Frank Welker if no one else.
Posted by human_2.0 (Member # 6006) on :
I remember reading that they were going to at least test the original voice actors to see if they still sounded good.
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
Oh my gosh. These are so hilarious.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I want the entire movie to be laced with the music used in the original cartoon movie.
Otherwise I'll consider it a failure musically.
It'd be sweet to see some modern cars transforming, though jarring since I'm used to 80's styled cars being the characters.
Also, I remember know about Starscream being dead. It's sad Posted by Swampjedi (Member # 7374) on :
"Pathetic FOOLS! There's no escape!"
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
"Who dares interrupt my coronation!"
"Coronation Starscream? This is bad comedy."
"M...Megatron?"
"Here's a hint!"
*BAM*
Posted by Swampjedi (Member # 7374) on :
That has to be my favorite set of lines from the movie (with the favorite of those being the bad comedy quip). Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron was an inspired choice. Too bad the TV Galvatron sounded like he had a permanent wedgie.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
That second funny video looks like something I would do.
Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :
Lyr, as I am also used to the old 80's car styles being used as the characters, I'm finding it hard to picture one of today's cars being a transformer. They are so small these days. How 'bout trucks?
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
This is small?
Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :
I was thinking about overall. I know the 80's crisis made a lot of cars small back then too, but we still have a lot of small cars today.
