Michael Bay also said that he and his studio were purposely spreading false rumors to keep the fan community on their toes and to distract people from stealing real information.
he and his studio were purposely spreading false rumors to keep the fan community on their toes and to distract people from stealing real information."
Yes, like how they were keeping Bumblebee to his real character, that the writers were longtime fans, and that the movie would be a realistic take on the material. Why couldn't THOSE rumors be true? :(
A combined Devastator would have been cool, too, but you can only do so much. I thought they made Megatron incredibly evil and terrifying. Him trasforming into a Cybertronian jet (again, because he didn't feel the need to take an earthly form), Devastator being a tank, and Soundwave being tiny all fit into the scope of a live-action Transformer universe. Also: Did anyone catch the inscription on Barricade's side? And kind of funny all the Autobots were GMs while Barricade was a Ford...
The producers had an exclusive deal with GM to use GM vehicles in the movie. They couldn't get permission from Ford to use the Mustang, so they used a custom one built by Saleen.
I think a lot of people are getting a little hard on the filmmakers here. First of all, remember that the comic and cartoon Transformers universes didn't line up either. The movie had to be done in a "non-cartoony" way (no mass shifting, etc). I would have liked a Soundwave character, but a 33ft, 5 ton robot transforming into a CD player just wouldn't have been believable. Megatron didn't scan any Earth vehicles to "fit in" because he disdained everything to do with Earth.
i like the movie but have to agree i dont like the way Megatron and Starscream look. they look like insects, they say they are emphasizing the fact that theyre aliens by making them look other worldly but surely theyre missing the whole point of Transformers, yes they are aliens but they are aliens that have adapted a different look to blend in on earth. im sure they could have give them a more traditional robot look rather than making them look like Resident Evil creatures.
Apparently going along a more traditional robot look was "silly and unrealistic". I don't care what these guys say; realism does NOT demand that Starscream look like a gorilla with chicken legs and a wasp head.
exactly Blackout, Barricade and Brawl look ok but then of all the characters its actually the two that we all have fondest memories of that they go and fuck up, i read on a website that Megatron looks like a chandelere lol i agree he really doesnt look like he poses much of a threat to the planet, im not saying his G1 transformation was appropriate for the film but they could have kept his look similar and still had him transform into somekind of cannon or tank or whatever
i agree its lazy, im not neccesarily saying i wanted to see mass shifting but with better storytelling they may have been able to have Soundwave style transformations and have a reasonable explanation for it, but i guess smart storytelling wasnt high on the list of priorities compared to smashing up cars and filming megan foxs` belly lol.
no need to get agressive friend, i know what you mean but i guess my point is they are supposed to adapt an "earth look" but the excuse for why they made them look like creatures from the abyss is that theyre aliens, i think the film makers have got a bit too wrapped in the "alien aspect" of it really they are called robots in disguise not aliens in disguise, i cant think of this Starscream as a genuine threat to the planet he looks like he would blow over in a strong wind lol
i would want them to look evil obviously i just would expect them to look more like robots and not like baddies from Predator without his mask on, im sure most people understand Megatron not looking like G1 Megatron but whats wrong with Armada Megatron eh,if they were doing a movie based on beast wars then you would expect animalistic features as opposed to robotic features,when i first saw pictures of movie Starscream i assumed it was an Insecticon lol
and i never said that i wanted them to look like Cartoon characters i just dont see any reason why Starscream and Megatron cant look a bit more recognisable like they did with Prime and Bumblebee, you never hear any one complain about the way they look do you?
u r thinking of cyclonus,the original galvatron was a turret which would have been okay for the 2007 movie,besides why does everybody think there is only ONE type of cybertron aircraft!
Nah, Megatron is a gun. He's voiced by Frank Welker. After the proper Transformers, they turned them all into gorillas and shit, changed all the voices, made Megatron into a tank (because guns are a bad role model, but tanks aren't) and re-wrote the storyline. Again. And again.
Look at the message I am replying to before you call me a dumbass. He was a tank in Generation 2 and Armada not because it made him a better "role model" but because they did away with mass switching as soon as G1 was over.
Haven't you noticed? Animation is evolving into cgi and such.. Of course they're making it look realistic. It appeals to a wider audience.
I'm not sure what's wrong with fictional things "defying the laws of physics"--isn't that the point? People fabricate fictional things /because/ they don't or couldn't possibly exist in the real world.
That's my whole point. The philosophy behind what went into making this movie is one huge hypocrisy. They say that they want to make these robots "realistic" and "believable", and they make them look like monsters that turn inside-out and then rightside-out again to transform. They think mass-shifting looks stupid, but aliens knowing Kung Fu is perfectly acceptable. :S
They say they want realism, but they're throwing most of it right out the window.
What's wrong with it is that they say they're giving us one thing, but actually giving us another. This entire movie is nothing but 2.5 hours of youtube poop.
FIrst: No it's not. Second: I would gladly shell out eight dollars to see 2.5 hours of youtube poop. In fact, I think that's one of the best ideas anyone has ever had.
You don't seem to know what YouTube Poop is. It's a video that has been re-edited into a mess of clips that make no sense and are funny for that reason. I love YouTube Poop and Transformers. Thousands of people would agree with me on both counts.
You people are a bunch of nerds. Maybe you should talk about the video instead of whinning about how you thought the movie defys the laws of physics. It is only for effects. Don't you think everyone else would aready know that?
Why are you complaining to me? I'm not the one who started the physics argument. :P
No movie should EVER be about special effects; special effects are only meant to support the characters and story, the two elements that a movie IS supposed to be about.
How am I a nerd for expecting more in a movie than simple eye candy (which was particularly ugly in this case)?
Seriously. A gun as an alt mode is both unrealistic and lame, who would YOU Transform into if you were a decepticon commander? A jet with superior weapons, or a gun. Something that requires someone holding you, since you cannot actually move.
Megatron can fire himself without being held, anyways - like the A-team in the 80s Transformers they all just fired at each other with each shot hitting the rocks or at their feet. Rarely hitting each other

its more for both reasons.
