You know the one! Where it flips around corresponding to which robot faction we just saw on screen, and which is coming up next. Accompanied by the transformers riff.
Could it be made to work in the film? Vote!

This question was asked once before, might have been a thread on it. Sorry dude. If it makes you feel better though. I think if the zoomed in on one logo and then zoomed out from the other, might work. But I'd rather leave it out.

I don't really care if it's in the movie or not.

I just wanted a poll on it, so it's easier to see what people think.:O

It would make the movie look too campy and it would look cheesy on screen.

I put perhaps, if done right it could work. You just need imagination.

Neither is the transforming sound or the theme song...but they are trying to incorporate both those those into the film. So why not this?

I have no problem with an orchestrated theme song and some of the other music from the tv show. I don't want to hear a song with the lyrics from the cartoon. Also, if any of those awful songs from Transformers the movie are included in the film then I will have a heart attack. I'm just curious if anyone has heard of a transformers cd with the original themes from the cartoon. If one was released I would buy it.

Perhaps, if it is done right and not too corny.

Maybe there never was a cartoon soundtrack. I can find soundtracks for video games and toys for stupid horror movies(Leprechaun and Hellraiser), but, I can't find a soundtrack for one of the greatest 80s cartoons of all time.

The only place I could think of where it would fit without making the film lame, would be as a transition between the film and the end credits, or a transition between the opening credits and the film.

Another example of trying to incorporate scene traansitions.... HULK. Man that gave a headeche. I don't want the autobot or decepticon logo changin everytime a scene is changed. It'll take me away from the movie every time that would appear.

I Agree with You 150% !
during the Hulk movie that stuff was Soooo distracting and annoying and raped the movie in a bad way.
Logo transistion for Transformers?
I vote no.
Just give us real deal ......
Oh and fix bumblebees head - its sooo jacked up! Looks like Optimus stepped on it by accident.

the hulk wasnt bad....
having a dramatic scene and then an autobot head flying into the screen would kill it

Agreed. I do think it would be a nice nod to have it though, just at the end of the film as a transition to the end credits.

Michael Bay + dramatic scene = corniness to the power of 10

What with the camera slowly rotating around the actors so that it looks like the Beaty and the Beast ballroom scene only in extreme slow motion? lol... sometimes the only way to watch this guys movies is to pretend that they're just big jokes, which would be totally cool if they didn't take themselves so seriously.

Yeah, and The Matrix proved just how lame that whole camera circling the actor thing is.

Of course I was crying for Steve Buscemi, when he found out he was gonna make it back.

Well, at least MB's corniness is outdone by Stephen Sommers...I wanted to throw up watching Mummy Returns when Rachel Weisz was supposed to "die".

I'd say if done right, although with the current direction of this movie ie. leaving out heaps of G1 stuff, it would't work.
