The Official Transformers 3 News And Speculation Thread

[BlackLantern]

like how everyone was on Bryan Singer's jock because of Xmen and X2 and then dropped him like a virgin who aint putting out on prom night for Superman Returns

I went sour on him the way he departed the X-Men franchise, X2 did well and people are excited for 3....WB dangles Superman in front of him and he just goes and takes Cyclops with him, who instead of getting his woman taken by Wolverine, gets his woman taken by Superman

[roach]

no one seemed to have an issue with a guy being speared in his back by a giant scorpion but you mention masturbation and its wrong????

it struck a nerve with the fandom....hit a little close to home:oldrazz:

The last thing you'd want to hear when watching Transformers, is someone talking about masturbation. Just as you wouldn't want to hear Aunt May talk about Masturbation with Peter or see giant sand balls between Sandman's legs. It's just out of place place and doesn't belong.

I think you guys know exactly what we mean and just like to argue for the hell of it.

[BlackLantern]

I still think its subjective as to whats appropriate and what isn't

plus you seem so spirited about it, so we're having a bit of a laugh

[SpiderByte]

it struck a nerve with the fandom....hit a little close to home:oldrazz:

Ba-ZING!

[The Apatow Crew]

I think you just need to ignore what you don't like.

Unless you're one of those people who just like to complain about stuff you don't like and what you would like to see. But again that's the whole net.

If you don't like the movie, don't watch it. The second one I mean. Its never gonna be PG type stuff, cause that's not just the way people talk today. If anything it was watered down on how people speak and act today.

[sabetoonth]

my position is while there is room for that kind of humor in these movies, it is possible to over do it, TF2 over did it a bit, ok they really over did it, other then that i have no qualsm witht he comedy

[Jake Cassidy]

I went sour on him the way he departed the X-Men franchise, X2 did well and people are excited for 3....WB dangles Superman in front of him and he just goes and takes Cyclops with him, who instead of getting his woman taken by Wolverine, gets his woman taken by Superman

Singer was planning on doing X3 after Superman. Fox didn't want to wait and moved forward without him. It's not entirely his fault. He's back doing X4 now, so it's all good. :yay:

[BlackLantern]

no its not...I am so not excited about X-men First Class

[Jake Cassidy]

Its like someone I saw in a show they said it's okay to show violence, but you can't mention or even talk about sex.

That's back to front. Sex is good and violence is bad. :woot:

[Jake Cassidy]

no its not...I am so not excited about X-men First Class

Singer's not doing First Class. Matthew Vaughn is. I'm sure I read somewhere that Singer was going to make X-Men 4. :huh:

I'm not looking forward to First Class either. I want a Gambit movie. :woot:

[BlackLantern]

Gambit can suck it...Disney should get their angriest lawyers, I mean the guys they keep in a dark room and feed raw meat to, march over to Fox and demand all the film rights back or they will sue them blind

[Jake Cassidy]

It's funny how people hate Fox so much. If they didn't make X-Men there probably wouldn't be any superhero movies now.

Before anyone says anything, Blade didn't. No-one, besides us, even knew it was a comic. It also came out at a time when vampires were big, which helped it.

[The Apatow Crew]

Singer was planning on doing X3 after Superman. Fox didn't want to wait and moved forward without him. It's not entirely his fault. He's back doing X4 now, so it's all good. :yay:yes it is, he should have finished the x- films and then moved onto Supes.

Why should one company wait for another, especially when they steal your director.


And Singer is just producing first class, whole he does some Jack the beanstalk movie

[BlackLantern]

yea...I agree with you on Blade...it came out when both Buffy and Angel were still going and I remember reading an interview with Stephen Norrington, who directed it, and they got next to nothing for a budget

[The Apatow Crew]

The Twins were originally going to have a third member (just as Arcee herself had two twin sisters), whose alternate mode would have been a Mercedes Benz Smart automobile. Unfortunately the filmmakers were unable to acquire the Benz Smart for the film.

Something I found interesting. Wasn't that car in the video behind the scenes a smart mobile and its been said to also have the twins in it aswell.

For this in the trivia section on IMDB for Revenge of the fallen.

This!

[roach]

because they wouldnt have any basis to do that and be counter sued

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

it's Disney, it's not possible for them to be counter sued. They'll counter it with another countersuit

[Jake Cassidy]

WB can swoop in, buy Marvel and make 'Marvel vs. DC'. Superman and Batman kicking the crap out of Spider-Man and Wolverine would awesome. For me, at least. :woot:

[UnionJack]

The last thing you'd want to hear when watching Transformers, is someone talking about masturbation. Just as you wouldn't want to hear Aunt May talk about Masturbation with Peter or see giant sand balls between Sandman's legs. It's just out of place place and doesn't belong.

That's be AWESOME!!!

Peter: MJ and I are having problems again...

Aunt May: Well Peter, maybe it's time a break and lean towards masturbating.

Peter: Aunt May!

Aunt May: It's ok Peter, your Uncle Ben used to masturbate all the time. Here, take his lotion. He used to used it before you caused his death. Also got rid of dry patches.

[Ipodman]

Just to clarify.... when Michael Bay said Megatron won't be appearing in Revenge of the Fallen... he was technically right at the time because they wanted the resurected Megs to be Galvatron. But later on they changed his name back to Megatron.

[SpiderByte]

So the Twins might be in the movie, then....but either as much smaller roles or dead.

So it's 75/25 right now. The implications are either No Twins, Less/Dead Twins, or Bay Lying.

I'm leaning towards Less/Dead Twins.

[Ipodman]

Those two cars may not be the twins at all... although its highly possible

Maybe they're triplets now? :dry:

[SpiderByte]

Well, the neon orange and green color schemes match.

As for the triplets joke...it fell really flat. Seeing as there are only TWO cars.

[Ipodman]

According to the dude that managed to see some of the filming... apparently there are three cars involved in that scene....
the twins are supposed to be beating up a third car

[Dr Lee]

Apparently they beat it up cuz it took a parking space from one of the twins..

When are we going to see the Italia? I want the Italia *Stomps foot* LOL

[anrrd_2]

Twins to be replaced in TF3?

Honestly, I think Bay going to have Skids and Mudflap be wannabe ninjas. I just hope they have a smaller role than they did in ROTF.

[Dr Lee]

Shia reveals possible plot points (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/shia-labeouf-says-transformers-3-will-be-better-reveals-plot-details-169699/)

yikes!

[roach]

sounds good

[BlackLantern]

Baysplosions of death!!!!

[SpiderByte]

That sounds like an awesome plot. Shia was right on the nail with the 'too big' bit.

Well, it's official. I am officially excited for Transformers 3. The plot sounds way better than the first too.

Not to mention with a plot like that, there will no doubt be a lot less joking and a more serious tone to it.

My god, this film just turned from 'meh' to 'awesome'.

[S.A.A.D.]

I think that the Decepticons should kill most of the humans that they will,but capture the military and send them out into whatever it is into the sun if or when the Autobots are banished on earth,it would be easier and wiser,for them to win. Megatron could have something special that can communicate with Teletran 1 so he can get into it's system if he had to override whatever it is so the humans can be launched into the sun. Oh and Sam and Simmons should get a special death too,with the rest of the military.

[SpiderByte]

I think the Decepticons will do stuff like destroy buildings just to get the Autobot's attention.

I mean, it would basically make every day 9/11. Any car you see on the street could be a Decepticon, or an Autobot, and you won't know until it's too late.

It's fear. The Decepticons are making the humans fear the Autobots and them. The humans don't want to be stuck in a war that they didn't cause.

The writers really dug deep for a good plot for this one.

and it seems a logical story since the Transformers were outted in TF2

[SpiderByte]

Indeed.

My god, it's amazing how incredible the story is in comparison to the last two. It really IS completely different, and awesome, just like Bay said.

Wow.

[BlackLantern]

Bay should do the "visit California" commercials....just have him blow up bridges and cause tidal waves

[Nathan]

Even if the latest news sound decent, I'm still going to be wary of it. I'm only getting burned once. I already decided not to go to the theater on the opening day and wait till I hear from trusted people that it isn't an incoherent mess like ROTF. I still haven't watched that Movie more than once.

[Dr Lee]

You've not heard of Alan Tudyk?

Firefly...Serenity.... Dodgeball.... Knights Tale....

[BlackLantern]

Nathan won't be happy until its revealed that EVERYONE human dies and Transformers is similar to Glengarry GlenRoss in terms of tone....no laughing or fun is allowed

EVER

[AnorexicBatman]

You truly are a BLACKLANTERN.

We wanted IRON MAN, instead we got BORAT.
Imagine if ET or Close Encounters had a scene where a guy drops his pants and you see his ugly old ass in a thong on screen. Imagine if in Toy Story 2 Buzz Lighter grabs onto the Toy Collector's trousers and exclaims, "I am beneath the enemy's scrotum"

Do we even want, need or deserve that kind of humor?

Go and watch AMERICAN PIE if you like that kind of ****!

[roach]

so every movie should be the same

[AnorexicBatman]

No Never! For every Citizen Kane, we need a The Room to separate the good from the bad. The problem with Transformers is that there is an inherent charm and beauty to it coupled with good characters, story and a massive universe.

Unfortunately it has been bogged down by the likes of Micheal Bay and his posse and turned into something awful with crass humor, bad acting and confusing visuals. The crude humor is the worst of it. The jokes don't fit with the tone. What is supposed to be a coming of age story is instead turned into a poor man's Pineapple Express or American Pie with giant robots

It's like if someone made a Batman movie but for no reason put in sex scenes
I like both Batman and sex scenes in films but I don't want them together

On the other hand a John Woo inspired fight scene in a Batman film would be heaven

[S.A.A.D.]

Transformers 3 should have Primus in it since Epps asked the question of who made the Transformers in "his" image in TF:ROTF if the Allspark doesn't turn out to be Primus,The Quintessons in the movie universe should be ignored if Primus exists in it,well for one reason. But they can still be around as as the different things that they are.

[anrrd_2]

No Never! For every Citizen Kane, we need a The Room to separate the good from the bad.

what? You think Orsen Welles never played football in a tuxedo while standing only 6 feet away from the person he's playing with?

[NickNitro]

I am with the group of people that will wait a couple days after opening night to truly find out how the movie turned out. I will not be drug in again to the tasteless humor which was ROTF.

Honestly if Bay wanted to connect with the audience in that form then I would agree he should have made just another American Pie film. There isnt room in Transformers for humping robots or men in thongs or mindless racist twin robots. He tries to "connect" with an adolescent age bracket he feels will be the majority seeing his film and turns the film into exactly that...an immature teen flick, not a Transformers movie we've all been waiting and hoping for.

I wont say ALL of TF and TF2 was bad there were deff parts that I liked, but at the end of the night when I left the theatre I couldnt help just thinking about all the unecessary stuff we didnt need to see.

Heres to hoping 3rd times a charm.

[AnorexicBatman]

Thank you Nick! Nice to see that some intelligent people are left in the world.

[anrrd_2]

i will, like the gullible fool that i am, see this movie on opening weekend... but i will be going in to this with a battle plan that has served me well in the past. I enter this movie with with one thing firmly planted on the forefront of my brain. thats this is a michael bay film, and that i should expect nothing more than explosions, dirty jokes, and lots more 'splosions. If i should get anything above this, i will leave the theatre pleasantly surprised... if i not, than i shall leave receiving all that i expected and nothing more. fully satisfied? no, probably not... but not let down either.

[BlackLantern]

its how I approach it

[AnorexicBatman]

We have to be like the civilians from Half-Life 2 who are given daily beatings and just hope that the COMBINE Police don't use the electric batons, only the regular ones

[anrrd_2]

We have to be like the civilians from Half-Life 2 who are given daily beatings and just hope that the COMBINE Police don't use the electric batons, only the regular ones

yeah, but Bay uses the ones that cause EXPLOSIONS!

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

So, are The Twins in this or not? These reports a very conflicting.

[Dr Lee]

Bay said no.... but there's the pics of the two Sparks with Twin colours...

I think they are TBH.

[SpiderByte]

Almost nothing but good news of this film so far.

[NickNitro]

Honestly there hasnt been much news ATM where I'm going "wow thats a bad idea". Then again I really didnt know much of the "wow thats a bad idea" moves he pulled in ROTF before I saw the movie myself either.

I will take all of the information with a grain of salt, wait until Saturday or Sunday of the opening week to read the reviews and comments on here then I will figure out what to do.

I am really hoping for a solid though from MB this time around. I love Transformers.

[Dr Lee]

I'm hoping they've all realised where they went wrong with ROTF... and don't do the same mistakes again

[BlackLantern]

all Hasbro seems to care about is the bottom line....and the first two films took care of that issue

[roach]

TF3 could be about the Transformers against the Gobots in a dance off and people will still go see it in droves

[BlackLantern]

Thank you Nick! Nice to see that some intelligent people are left in the world.

I r not stoopit:oldrazz:

Labeouf is now completely redeemed in my eyes.

Labeouf has now shot up back to my top 10 favorite actors.

[BlackLantern]

that is good...it ties into his whole philosophy towards acting, he sees it as a job and any job worth doing is worth doing well according to him

[SpiderByte]

Wow, a lot of actors are really interacting with the audience.

Chris Evans admits he was nervous about taking Cap.
Chris Evans basically summarizes the character of Cap, and says that he would like the story even if it weren't superhero-based.
Shia admits TF2 and Indy 4 weren't good.
Chris Hemsworth doesn't dodge a question about the Avengers, unlike most people involved, and confirms that Joss Whedon is directing, without even being asked about him.

Bad. Ass.

[anrrd_2]

great interview, great guy... hope Bay learns something from that kid

[BlackLantern]

I think the entertainment industry is finally realizing that you can't BS the audience anymore...not in this information age, everything can get out unfiltered

not like lets say 1989, where the only entertainment information people got was from Entertainment Tonight or if they read Variety or THR, which are heavily controlled

[DW4]

Almost nothing but good news of this film so far.

Agreed.

Hopefully Bay actually develops the Autobots other then Prime and Bumblebee too. Ratchet was practically a no show in ROTF.

[Nathan]

So much screen time wasted on the Twins, just blabbering nonsense. And actual good characters get barely any lines.

[dark_b]

http://www.**************.com/fansites/doublescoopz/news/?a=18222

Labeouf is now completely redeemed in my eyes.

Labeouf has now shot up back to my top 10 favorite actors.and this post from you proove to me that you are naive. 100% naive.

Shia says that TF2 is a fantastic movie. fans complain and bash the movie. 12 months later he says that it wasnt good.

you dont like him and now you do.


come on SPiderByte. open your eyes.

[dark_b]

great interview, great guy... hope Bay learns something from that kidhe should learn how to be a 100% hypocrite in hollywood ? he should learn how to bash your boss in hollywood?
you know Spielberg is the boss from Bay and he never said anything bad about him.

or should Bay learn from Shia how to make 100 million in 2009? Bay made a huge movie in 2009 and over 100 millions.

he should learn what from him? how to suck up to the interntet fans who hate SHia when he likes TF2 and praise him when he changes hes mind?

you know there is a reason why people make fun of fanboys . :cwink:

because they deserve it??

Ive never been on the Shia hate train and I honestly have never read anything really bad about him except on the ol' internets

I see it as him trying to extend an olive branch to some of the fandom, and I can dig that....but I hope he realizes, like Bay did back before the first movie that you can't sweat the fandom...because all they will do is protest your old office, try to hack into your computer, and steal things from the set (all things that happened during the filming of the first movie)

[NickNitro]

@Dark b

Shia OBVIOUSLY had to say TF2 and TF1 were great films when he was promoting them. Now in retrospect he has time to sit back and really analyze the film, and for him to say hes dissapointed in TF2 I really respect that. Not many actors will admit when the movie they were in did a crap job. Even WHEN it did good in the box office. That means he doesnt just care about the paycheck he really seems to want to partake in quality films.

[chaseter]

I have seen tons of actors/actresses make fun of horrible movies they were in.

IMO he should have said that he promises to up his work in TF3, not diss the hand that feeds him and make fun of movies he choose to be in.

[Figs]

Wow, a lot of actors are really interacting with the audience.

Chris Evans admits he was nervous about taking Cap.
Chris Evans basically summarizes the character of Cap, and says that he would like the story even if it weren't superhero-based.

Chris Hemsworth doesn't dodge a question about the Avengers, unlike most people involved, and confirms that Joss Whedon is directing, without even being asked about him.

Bad. Ass.

Chris Evans also admitted that he wasn't confident or happy with Fantastic Four 2. When asked if he would want to do a third(shortly after the second film was released), I can't remember exactly what he said but he definitely was hinting at a hell no!

I really can't wait to see him as Captain America. I don't mind that he's playing another Marvel character since the FF films were a seperate thing under Fox and not part of Marvel's plan for one universe with their films. Now when it comes to Terrance Howard...I don't like the recent news that he's in talks with Marvel about something. He did say he was happy for Don Cheadle getting the part in the sequel and that Cheadle apparently wanted to play Rhodes since the first film.

I have seen tons of actors/actresses make fun of horrible movies they were in.

IMO he should have said that he promises to up his work in TF3, not diss the hand that feeds him and make fun of movies he choose to be in.

While I do agree that he should have just said he plans to up his work and try harder, I remember the writers of the film(don't remember their full names)said that Bay put in a lot of crap that wasn't in their script...like the twins. In an interview they fully busted him out so they wouldn't take the blame for something they didn't write that was so stupid. I think that's part of the factor with Shia saying he wasn't happy with the final product. He probably liked the initial script and then Bay started being dumb on the set with changing things around, or changing the script right before shooting. So I don't think it was necessarily a case of Shia taking a dumb ass movie to begin with.

The first film despite some lame humour and needing more focus on the Transformers themselves wasn't that bad for a summer action flick and I liked the new Star Trek. I don't think those two writers are all that bad and hope they wrote the new one and Bay doesn't mess with the script.

[BlackLantern]

I have seen tons of actors/actresses make fun of horrible movies they were in.

he did that in the interview he just had at Cannes with Access Hollywood

[The Apatow Crew]

I think actors are just saying what the fanboys want to think.

I mean why else would someone bash a movie so many months later. I mean if you didn't like it. just speak up during the making off.

Like i said its BS and for reason trying to suck up to certain people.

[BlackLantern]

some actors don't do that...I was watching an interview with Billy Bob Thornton and he was talking about this movie he was working on a few years ago and how it sucked and he was doing it for a paycheck, but he refused to name the movie

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

I do find it strange that he's coming out over a year later expressing his dislike for the film. Just a little odd that after so many bashed it that he's just now agreeing with them.

[The Apatow Crew]

I mean talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Hollywood seems to be full of them.

I mean all his biggest films are Spielberg associated. Disturbia, TF 1 and 2 and Indy Jones 4.

[BlackLantern]

Im fairly sure he cleared what he was going to say with the Beard....Spielberg knows how to deal with the masses

[The Apatow Crew]

Cause if not he'll be working those project greenlit films again as fast as he left those. And lets not forget about the smash Hit Dumb and Dumberer.

[Figs]

I mean talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Hollywood seems to be full of them.

I think Spielberg has lost his touch with films that aren't dramas, he should stick to those and let the new directors do the summer type films.

[SpiderByte]

I have seen tons of actors/actresses make fun of horrible movies they were in.


Didn't Robert Downey Jr. say that filming for one film was horrible? (it's implied that it's the Soloist.)

[chaseter]

he did that in the interview he just had at Cannes with Access Hollywood

I am saying he shouldn't make fun of movies that he chooses to be in. He is calling out the people that gave him his career. It would be one thing to make fun of a movie you did years ago and will never do again, but to make fun of TF when you choose to be in these films is ridonkulous. It would be like Connery saying he hated Bond writers and directors after he shot From Russia and was about to do Goldeneye.

Look at Shia's line of work. TF and Indy 4 aren't the only terrible movies he has been in. Eagle Eye, I Robot? Maybe he needs to learn to choose better gigs. Do we need Shia to tell us Michael Bay makes hollow movies? No.

I mean I find it funny that he is doing it, more power to him to call out Michael Bay. But it doesn't make me like him as an actor when he constantly chooses crappy movies to be in and I think this is a stupid move on his part.

[BlackLantern]

I liked I, Robot

[dark_b]

I mean talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Hollywood seems to be full of them.

I mean all his biggest films are Spielberg associated. Disturbia, TF 1 and 2 and Indy Jones 4.Eagle Eye was Dreamworks......so in other words also a movie where SPielberg gave him the job.



from Disturbia until TF2 he was the golden boy from The Beard. now he worked in an Oliver Stone movie. so he worked in a movie that is not from Spielberg.

[dark_b]

Chris Evans also admitted that he wasn't confident or happy with Fantastic Four 2. When asked if he would want to do a third(shortly after the second film was released), I can't remember exactly what he said but he definitely was hinting at a hell no!

i remember that he said that he wouldnt do a 3rd movie after FOX and every movie expert knew that they will not make a third.

if he said weeks after the realese then ok. but i rememmber that it was after everyone knew.

sorry dont belive it.

[The Apatow Crew]

Eagle Eye was Dreamworks......so in other words also a movie where SPielberg gave him the job.



from Disturbia until TF2 he was the golden boy from The Beard. now he worked in an Oliver Stone movie. so he worked in a movie that is not from Spielberg.if he's not careful he could end up like the rest of the cast of Even Stevens. The chick who played Ren was in a ABC original family movie which was a sequel to a sequel of that movie the cutting edge.

Yeah, I don't think he should peeve off Spielberg; Spielberg can make his life miserable if he wants to, after all he did make Shia into the movie star that he is today. But then again, Fox peeved off Bay regarding her comments on TF2, and she's back doing TF3 anyway.

[Lunar_Wolf]

qSgnhCmwIfo

Loved this song from the second film. Too bad it wasn't used, only on the album!

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

@Dark b

Shia OBVIOUSLY had to say TF2 and TF1 were great films when he was promoting them. Now in retrospect he has time to sit back and really analyze the film, and for him to say hes dissapointed in TF2 I really respect that. Not many actors will admit when the movie they were in did a crap job. Even WHEN it did good in the box office. That means he doesnt just care about the paycheck he really seems to want to partake in quality films.

I could see this being the case as well

[Figs]

i remember that he said that he wouldnt do a 3rd movie after FOX and every movie expert knew that they will not make a third.

if he said weeks after the realese then ok. but i rememmber that it was after everyone knew.

sorry dont belive it.

BS

It wasn't just about returning for a third film but his thoughts on the second film and he wasn't happy with it. He was saying something about he thought they would have done something different with it.

[DW4]

I could see this being the case as well

To be completely honest the first Transformers wasn't a bad film at all. What ruined TF2 was the ending battle where you didn't know who was who, the over the top and constantly re used jokes and Leo.

I thought the first film did a decent job of mixing the few jokes it had with the seriousness of it. In the final battle(which was awesome in the first film) we didn't have interruptions during the battle with "under the enemies scrotum" or any crap like that. They kept it serious.

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Yeah, mate. The final battle in TF1 is awesome. There was also teamwork, which we need to see more of. But, out of both movies, I have to say the forest fight in ROTF is the best fight scene.

[SpiderByte]

New stunt footage!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSb8ilBqPYY&feature=player_embedded#!

This film looks better and better by the day.

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

my only gripe with the final battle in ROTF is that it's TOO DAMN LONG. Had it been about a good 5 minutes shorter, it woud've made the world of difference

[Dr Lee]

Edit- ignore

[Raiden]

my only gripe with the final battle in ROTF is that it's TOO DAMN LONG. Had it been about a good 5 minutes shorter, it woud've made the world of difference

The problem is that THE final battle in ROTF between Optimus and the Fallen was way too short; the Fallen was built up as this awesome villain, and even got his name in the movie title, and he got defeated by Optimus in a matter of minutes. I was extremely disappointed to see Optimus just "woke up", fused with Jetfire, and proceed to clean house. It also didn't help the fact that we had a weak Devastator earlier and a bunch of Constructicon drones who didn't add any tension to the scene whatsoever.

[JackMercy]

Guess what? The Fox is out...

[SpiderByte]

Then why was she spotted ON SET?

It was, like, the first set pic.

Apparently the switch was WEEKS ago... so maybe the images were of her saying goodbye?

[Jake Cassidy]

Well, she is waving.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^ Yeah, mate. The final battle in TF1 is awesome. There was also teamwork, which we need to see more of. But, out of both movies, I have to say the forest fight in ROTF is the best fight scene.

Possibly in ANY action movie that is the best fight scene, although Bumblebee vs Rampage gets my heart racing almost as much and is almost as good IMO.

But yeah, the final battle in TF1 overall was better, it just gelled better.

[Jake Cassidy]

Bumblebee vs. Rampage was cool too.

I love Sideswipe's introduction. They have to give him more to do in the 3rd movie. I think he's the coolest looking of all the robots so far and he's a total badass. :woot:

You wanna know why the last battle in TF1 was better? Jazz. He makes everything better. :woot:

It was a huge mistake to kill him off, imo. What would've made ROTF better is that they kept him around and showed him taking command after Optimus died.

[SpiderByte]

Sideswipe was my personal favorite of the film. Even if it was just for a second, it was just that badass.

[TheVileOne]

Maybe the initial rumors of Mikaela getting killed off were TRUE and she's filming her death scene :D .

[BlackLantern]

DHD has this

http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/michael-bays-revenge-no-more-megan/

[Silver Knight]

Wow thats a big blow to the film.

[AnorexicBatman]

Good Riddance!

[TheVileOne]

Wow thats a big blow to the film.
Or a big victory if you think about it. Megan Fox is not a draw. She's not the only reason people go to these movies.

Elementary schoolers aren't going to avoid the movie because Megan Fox is gone.

[Timstuff]

Maybe those set photos were of her leaving an exit interview. Does shoe look like she's got a "Ha, good riddance! I don't want to work for Adolf Bay anyway!" look on her face to any of you? :huh:

Bumblebee vs. Rampage was cool too.

Agreed, seems quite in line with how he is in the comics also, its a shame we never got more of him, or that his brother wasnt included.

You wanna know why the last battle in TF1 was better? Jazz. He makes everything better. :woot:

It was a huge mistake to kill him off, imo. What would've made ROTF better is that they kept him around and showed him taking command after Optimus died.

Definately, they shouldnt have killed him off at all, one of the most popular TF's, I love all his scene's in the first movie, especially his last stand against Megatron. It would have been better if Megatron had beaten him to an inch of his life, then Prime shows up, instead of what happened.

He would have been out of the rest of the battle but still alive. He would have been awesome in the 2nd movie, and it would have been great to see him still not scared of Megatron even after the beating he took.

[BlackLantern]

it was the obligatory minority death


deal with it

I have

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

it was the obligatory minority death


deal with it

I have

I dont think it was a minority death, it was in the script because Kurtzman and Orci though his death would get the biggest reaction from fans. But it was a huge mistake, he is one of the best TF characters, not to mention of the most likeable and bad-ass.

Jetfire was another they shouldnt have killed off, he is another great character or i'm sure would have shaken off his oldness with a bit of Energon to become an integral part of the Autobots and his normal self in a 3rd movie also. It is a real shame both of them are dead, especially to me as they are both in my top 5 favourite Autobots, now all I need is Ultra Magnus to die in TF3 and i'll be on the verge of suicide! :cwink:.

[BlackLantern]

I liked old cranky Jetfire

"My ancestors have been here for generations. My father was a wheel! The first wheel! And do you know what he transformed into? Nothing!! But he did it with honor! Dignity, damn it! "

as far as the films were concerned, Jazz didn't do much of anything so I don't apply cartoons/comics stuff into my watching of the films...the films are their own thing

Oh I enjoyed the character, very much so, but in the 3rd movie he could have gone back to being the Jetfire of old and could have brought a lot the Autobot team and been a bit more faithful, I just didnt see the point in killing him. Couldnt he have just merged with Prime in some way instead of killing himself?

[Ipodman]

The death of Jetfire probably made the ending more emotional... if you felt it at all.

Anyway I would hope the human scenes to be better than ROTf's... given all the new actors coming in

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

Old Jetfire was one of the major highlights of ROTF, wouldn't have been the same without him.

"Earth? Looks more like DIRT! You should call it....Planet..DIRT" :hehe:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=65720
''Megan Fox was spotted on the set of Transformers 3 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=59129) doing previz shots (visualizing scenes before filming begins) for the third installment. While actual principal photography will start soon, the session reunited Fox with the films' Bumblebee.''

they didnt have a new actress cast for doing BB previz. so she did it for them

[Dr Lee]

what i REALLY wanna know is if the rumors about the new chick being a new Love interest for Sam and that Mikaela 'goes the way of Barricade', AKA vanishing without a second thought or comment....

Cus if they do that... that would REALLY suck story-wise... no matter if you like Megan/Mikaela or not.

IMHO

[BlackLantern]

they might kill her off screen in the beginning, and time jump to like 8 months later or something

[Dr Lee]

I've said a couple of times today, though i can't remember if it was in here or in any of the any forum threads i've followed this on about four different forums, that i wouldn't mind a simple opening shot of Sam standing over a Gravestone with 'Mikaela Banes' inscribed on it.

A quick and simple way of getting past how strongly they were pushing the Sam/Mikaela 'ship' in the first 2 movies

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

I wouldn't want her character killed off, would just seem cheesy and forced. I wouldn't buy it for a second

have her get a job/career opportunity somewhere and break up with Sam, that's honestly the best way to go. Can't see anything else working

[Dr Lee]

but, for me, that wouldn't work if they don't have her appear.... which is what is apparently happening...

[SpiderByte]

Or Mikaela might be in the movie, just not played by Fox.

its easier to criticize than to create...you'd think these people with enough time to nitpick a movie for hours would take their cams and go make their own movies

[Lunar_Wolf]

I have no problems with critics. If you can find a critic with the same taste as you, it can be helpful, especially for people who can't decide between two films. Critics are not for everyone. I don't follow any, but if every critic is bashing a film, less chance I'll see it, depending on the film. If it's something like Transformers, I'll go see it no matter what, but let's say it's something like Robin Hood and every critic was bashing it, then less chance I'll go see it.

[Ipodman]

how so? I really don't see "killing her off" making any sense whatsoever, and coming off as nothing but cheesy, corny, forced, whatever you want to call it. Killing off characters is one of the most played out ways of getting rid of characters due to actor/actress problems.

not a snowball's chance in hell you can convince me otherwise

it's just stupid

Okay, let's all come up with a different way of working Mikaela's absence into the story then. :yay:

Like for example: "The Decepticons "befriend" a group of terrorists (the Autobots have the military), who will help them think of truly sinister ways to get to the Autobots, and their allies. So at the start of the movie Sam could learn, that Mikaela has been kidnapped, and her character stays kidnapped for the duration of the story. Something bigger/global can be going on in the meanwhile, involving the Transformers, so the audience is left "hanging" (about her character) in the end, but because they haven't seen her throughout the film, it makes it kind of bearable."

Who says there have to be only three movies right?

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

^see, something original and out of the ordinary like that needs to be written for Mikaela's absense.

[Jake Cassidy]

There should be TF movies until Peter Cullen can't do Optimus' voice anymore.

[Dr Lee]

as far as i can see, she's not appearing AT ALL in the movie... not even as a quick cameo to round off her role... so killing her off between movies would be the best way, IMHO, to remove her from the movie.

[dark_b]

^ Yeah, mate.

I don't criticise things I know I can't do myself.so noone on this planet that never directed a movie should never say anything negative about movies?

[BlackLantern]

No...if its clear she isn't going to be around, the simplest way to get that across to the audience is to kill her....preferably off screen

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

No...if its clear she isn't going to be around, the simplest way to get that across to the audience is to kill her....preferably off screen

and how's that not going to come off as cheesy or forced?

they need to get creative with it, plain and simple

[BlackLantern]

why?? the character really isn't worth the time the writers would spend on it

I say have her killed in a Decepticon attack at the start of the film and time jump to a year later

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

If it takes them that long to come up with an adequet reason for her departure, then they're not fit to be writers. Just a simple reasoning that's not so played out and been there, done that

you're really making it out to seem like more of a task than it actually is. I will NOT support part 3 if all they do is "kill her off". Blah, too obvious and it comes off as lazy writing, as there would be no writing involved.

I'm really not seeing your logic for it


I say have her killed in a Decepticon attack at the start of the film and time jump to a year later

:doh::doh::doh:

do you seriously have any clue as to how rushed and ridiculous that sounds?

glad you're not writing these movies

[anrrd_2]

Dan Didio? Is that you?

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

that even reminds me of a Family Guy episode in which they spoofed M*A*S*H* in a quick five second clip by having Brian portray one of the characters walking into a tent with a letter in hand, explaining to the room that (so and so was on a plane that went down a few hours ago, there were no survivors), in which the point they were trying to get across was how much of a "cop out" it is that that particular show continously "kills off characters" when they have actor/actress issues.

regardless how you cut the cookie, how you slice the pie, it's still the same procedure. A cop-out in replace of creative writing

[BlackLantern]

Dan Didio? Is that you?

at least I'm not shoving her into a refridgerator....

I'm sure with Bay at the helm, she'll have a dignified and respectful exit:hehe:

I'm not going to get spun up about whatever they do because I don't care enough about her

[Dr Lee]

Whatever happens is almost certainly gonna happen off screen.... and after all the sappy stuff between the two in ROTF... a simple off screen break-up won't work IMHO

Having her die is cliche'd and done to death, no pun intended.... but, under the circumstances (Megan possibly not coming back at all, even for a cameo to die on screen or anything)... I think it COULD be the better option than just have her gone with barely a mention....

that is just my opinion... and i respect that you have another. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree over this.

[Mr. Earle]

Why is Megan Fox out of TF3? Is it because of her comments about Bay?

[BlackLantern]

there are lot of different stories, Ill do my best to summarize

- in part her comments and apparently she is very hard to work with

- Paramount told Bay that they weren't going to pick up her option for the third film, and if Bay wanted to keep her, he would have to pay her himself

- Her publicist is saying Megan decided to leave of her own accord

[anrrd_2]

Why is Megan Fox out of TF3? Is it because of her comments about Bay?

Because her skills as an actress have grown far beyond doing silly action flicks...:hehe:

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

well there's 3 theories right now:

She got booted due to her comments

She left on her own

She's pregnant

nothing is concrete at this point

[Mr. Earle]

Thanks for all the replies guys!

- in part her comments and apparently she is very hard to work with
Doesnt she have any modesty? She is a terrible actress and yet she makes it hard for people to work with her? She ll end up like Lindsay Lohan. She already destroyed her great face by giving herself silicone fishlips. :whatever:
- Paramount told Bay that they weren't going to pick up her option for the third film, and if Bay wanted to keep her, he would have to pay her himselfWhy would Paramount not want her?

[mehrunis]

im not whining.
i was simply saying.
and a very over reacted fashion (hah)
that if bay is WRITING the script as well as producing it and directing it.
that would make him pretty much do everything.
the first two were already gawd awful with there.
terrible generalizations or should i say modernazations for kids.
bad jokes
terrible. acting in major plot points
not to mention the horrid destruction of some characters do i have to bring up dr. claw? oh i mean soundwave.
so dont diminish me to some guy with no life.
lol. thats just rediculous everyone has a life. just a different way to live it.
so back to my original point why would bay write a damned script for triquel or whatever you may call it since we dont know the plot.
that hes already over produced trying to shut out all the horrid points with giant explosions.
hah.
may just be my opinion.
but the main factor that pissed me off.
was hugo weaving.
as megs
and megs design look like kid took scrap metal and glued him together?
second one was an improvement the clashing with starscream was nice.
but then he killed one of my favourite characters. devastator. and that ball joke god.that just killed it for me.

-mehrunis

oh i apologize for going on a rant :P

[BlackLantern]

who knows....some people can't handle success like that

Why would Paramount not want her?

again, who knows...my personal opinion was that it was a decision that came from Dreamworks and the Beard

[Dr Lee]

All i know is that Nelson, Bay's forum's Admin dude has said there's a LOT of stuff going on that has not been revealed with her going... and that he's unable to tell us either.

And from the sound of things, Bay will be commenting on this whole FUBAR when he next gets a gap in the filming.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I hope he comments soon, but at this point, I really want to know more of the storyline and what bots we are getting in TF3.

[BlackLantern]

[Dr Lee]

I've probably said this already... but i'm surprised by the timing of this news coming out... why did it come out just when main filming started if, as it's rumoured, they had the cast change weeks ago?

Is it a proper leak or do you think Bay/Paramount/Whoever wanted to release the info now for some reason?

[BlackLantern]

probably figured best to just come out with it before it leaked out

[SpiderByte]

I wonder when we'll get the title.

[Figs]

I always laugh when the fandom starts whining about information....like they are obligated to have set pics, production podcasts/diaries, all that crap with 12-14 months before the movie even comes out

The all time worst is when they're demanding leaked Comic-Con footage. I **** you not, i've seen some fans that actually think they do in fact deserve to see the footage that same day even though it's a semi-illegal bootleg.

that ticks me off....firstly, they ask very nicely for people not to record stuff...secondly, the reason they show it at the CON is to thank the fans who did make the trip out there (Im one of them)....I earned the right to see Wonder Woman, Superman/Doomsday, and New Frontier 4-6 months before release because I took the trip out to San Diego or SF

Yeah, it's a bonus for the fans who actually paid and made the trek to wherever the convention is held at. It's not like they are the only ones to ever see anything for the film before it's release. Everyone else will get a chance but just later on.

Paying for your tickets is essentially getting first dibs on the footage.

Anyways, I hope Shia is right about them trying to step up their game with this third film. As long as it's not as dumb as the sequel i'll probably see it in the theatre. Going to wait to hear what other people have to say about it.

so you will never say anthing negative that was in the movies because you dont make movies?


are you aware how strange this sounds?


because i never made candy i cant say anything negative about Hubba Bubba gum?

[Jake Cassidy]

Of course I say negative things about movies. I just don't think I have the right to, since I know that I could never do any better.

It can still be fun, though. :woot:

Yes, I know I just contradicted myself. I should've worded my original post differently.

OK, let's move on. I WANNA KNOW WHICH ROBOTS ARE IN THE MOVIE DAMMIT! :woot:

So far there's:

Optimus
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Ratchet
Sideswipe
Megatron
Starscream
Soundwave
Silverbolt

Anyone heard about anymore?

[Silver Knight]

Soundwave was ment to be in ROTF so I doubt he will be in part 3.

[Lunar_Wolf]

Its what people in the UK buy to use after they go to the toilet.

I call it the Beano.

[Lunar_Wolf]

Soundwave was ment to be in ROTF so I doubt he will be in part 3.

Soundwave was in ROTF.

[Mr. Earle]

Optimus
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Ratchet
Sideswipe
Megatron
Starscream
Soundwave
Silverbolt

Anyone heard about anymore?
There's speculation that the Ferrari is going to be Hot Rod. Also, who is Silverbot?Soundwave was in ROTF.Yeah, he tentacle rapped that satellite! :awesome:

[BlackLantern]

that satellite was asking for it....being all shiny and in space like

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Admittedly it's the oh-so-trust-worthy Sun Newspaper here in the UK that's saying this.... but they said the lost of Fox was down to her losing too much weight...

For the one and only time in my life, I agree with the Sun, she has looked sickly skinny in the last few pics I have seen of her.

[Dr Lee]

I agree.... I hate the fad of Celebs being pale skinny rakes... whats wrong with a few good curves on a woman?

[Mr. Earle]

:lmao:I agree.... I hate the fad of Celebs being pale skinny rakes... whats wrong with a few good curves on a woman?
I agree.

[Ipodman]

Who cares what the new Autobots are... they aint gonna be anything like their cartoon versions anyway

[Silver Knight]

Soundwave was in ROTF.
For what, 2 seconds?

[S.A.A.D.]

N/a

[S.A.A.D.]

Why wouldn't Soundwave be in Transformers 3? The writers back then fought for him to come to earth to fight but there were too many Transformers which is why he was stuck in space throughout the whole movie,and also yesterday,I think it's 100% given that Jolt will be in the movie since he was still alive after NEST bombed the crap out of the place in the final battle. And since the fact that he's Ratchet's assistant. :woot:

[BlackLantern]

the cartoon isn't the only source material

[Golgo-13]

I'm actually surprised that this is still the 'in' thing among women; especially now that it's all about the J-Lo, bodacious Beyonce bodies. You got woman forking out millions for boob and butt implants all over the world.....

[Jake Cassidy]

There's speculation that the Ferrari is going to be Hot Rod. Also, who is Silverbot?

Silverbolt is the leader of the Aerialbots (Autobots jets). James Avery was cast to do the voice. Unless that's changed I'm assuming he's still in it.

I really hope the Ferrari is Hot Rod. :yay:

quoted for the truth

[Jake Cassidy]

Which cartoon? G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, Energon, TF Animated? :woot:

[BlackLantern]

I seem to remember there being a short lived series between Beast Machines and Armada, or it might have just been Armada before they attached Armada to the title

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Transformers: Robots In Disguise. Than after Energon there was Cybertron.

[BlackLantern]

so 8 animated series, all with pretty different interpretations of the Transformers....and yet the films are demonized for their designs??

I don't get it

[Jake Cassidy]

Don't even try to understand it. You'll get a migraine. :yay:

[*Dead*End*]

Peaking of the cartoons. I own all seasons of: G-1, TF the movie, BEAST WARS, BEAST MACHINES, ENERGON, CYBERTRON, and all of TF animated, minus season 3.

Does anyone know when R.I.D. and ARMADA comes out on DVD in the U.S? Also Season 3 of Animated?

I don't even wanna watch it online, I like my DVDs :)

[BlackLantern]

there are some DVDs of Armada out there I think, not sure if they released the whole run

[Ipodman]

I wanna get Armada on DVD as well... cool show.

And sorry if I offended you BlackLantern 0.o I was just unhappy that Ironhide and Ratchet didnt do much in ROTF

It was just a little frustrating, that they were mostly in the background :csad:

[Ipodman]

What a waste of complicated robot design

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

they released the entire Armada series, I have that along with all of Energon, Cybertron, G1, and Animated: Season's 1 and 2 (once they release 3 I'll pick that up as well).

BTW; anyone know if they plan on releasing season 3 of Transformers Animated? It's been nearly two years since the release of Season 2.

[SpiderByte]

Forget Ratchet and Ironhide, we never even got a good LOOK at Jolt.

I mean, why create a whole new character if you don't even get to SEE him? Sideways was reasonable because we got a great look at him in vehicle mode, and the scene he was in he was running away. Jolt was only referenced by name once, and we never got a good shot of him.

I hope he has a bigger role in the third.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I agree.... I hate the fad of Celebs being pale skinny rakes... whats wrong with a few good curves on a woman?

I know, I hate it when they go rake skinny.

Who cares what the new Autobots are... they aint gonna be anything like their cartoon versions anyway

Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Sideswipe, Ironhide and Ratchet have all been pretty spot on so far, we just havent had the chance to get to know most of them.

[SpiderByte]

I don't really understand why some people thought Jazz was racist. I thought he was really cool. He had tons of character, and the most personality. Clint Eastbot is second. :hehe:

[Golgo-13]

?? and ??

the cartoon isn't the only source material

What are you talking about? The G1 cartoon IS the source material. It's were the comics, all other animated incarnations and the movies stem from.

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

I don't think any guy likes that, thickness and curves make a woman

[SpiderByte]

http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Overload_(Movie)

I finally found a shot of Overload in robot mode!

[Dr Lee]

There's nothing there....

[Mr. Earle]

http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/6083/77041299.pngI like how in this scene Ratchet and Ironhide talk about whether they should leave the planet. Watching it for the first time i thought that we were gonna get some character development and see the two veterans take the lead and try to do something about the decepticons and the unfriendly humans.
But instead, pantless Torturo and fart jokes ensued.

[Ipodman]

you have to add the ")" in at the end of the link

Other than Prime and Bee, I think none of the other Autobots really got looked at.

The reason why Jolt was in for so little screen time was because the car company wanted to put him in at the last minute to promote the car.

So he wasnt really in the story when they filmed the movie.

Yea I thought the Autobots like Sideswipe and Ironhide will be involved in some butt-kicking action but no

[Dr Lee]

Thanks :D

[Ipodman]

Anyway, thats a concept art for the second movie. And since Devastator is dead, he probably wont be appearing for the third movie. But who knows, didnt Bonecrusher appear in the second movie>?

[BlackLantern]

What are you talking about? The G1 cartoon IS the source material. It's were the comics, all other animated incarnations and the movies stem from.

actually the original toy line is the first source material....but it really doesn't matter what came first as 8 DIFFERENT animated series have borne the name 'Transformers' prior to any film coming out....i have an 8 yr old nephew who's grown up on Transformers Armada and Transformers Cybertron.....you tell him about 'source material':dry:

[Ipodman]

Again, I'm not picking on you, Blacklantern... but...

Go over to the Spider-man boards and say "Spider-man reboot should be based on ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN!"

Most of them will go into a fit of anger and disagree strongly.

Just because it has Spider-man in the title doesnt mean people want the movie to be based of it.

Same for Transformers, sure there are alot of great cartoons like Armada and even Beast Wars, but shouldnt the G1 aspect be done right first, before moving on to other things?

[BlackLantern]

**** G1....the movies, IMO, are their own entity and have the approval of Hasbro....which own the damn franchise

Hasbro is even including the new game 'War for Cybertron' in canon

[Ipodman]

From my understanding, Hasbro has no say over what happens in the movies. They just make the toys.

[BlackLantern]

then you would be wrong....prior to the first film being started, Bay and his team went to Hasbro and what Hasbro called "Transformers University" and keep a good relationship with them, they have been kept in the loop on both films and even saw the scripts prior to filming

if they had any issue with the films, Im pretty sure someone would have said something by now
