Transformers REBOOT

[MessiahDecoy123]

What if George Lucas made Star Wars to sell toys (he did secure the toy rights before it was popular to do so)?

Star Wars went on to become one of the greatest film franchises in history.

There's really no excuse for poor storytelling.

I'd also keep the current design aesthetic while also focusing on making the characters look a lot more recognizable.

I'd keep Optimus as a long noise truck, but with his traditional colors. I'd also keep Bumblebee as a sports car of some sort, I'm thinking maybe a Dodge Challenger. Plus, I'd lose the mute angle. I like Megatron retaining his Cybertronian alt. mode, so I'm thinking an alien tank. I'd make Starscream an F-35 as it has still has the coolness of an F-22, but is smaller and would allow for a more humanoid proportioned robot mode.

Also, I'd keep Peter Cullen around as Optimus. I'd also bring back Frank Welker for Megatron doing his updated take on the voice.

Neil Blomkamp? The only sci-fi film he's ever done was District 9.

With someone like Alfonso Cuaron or Brad Bird as the director.

Alfonso Cuaron? You mean the guy who directed Prisoner of Askaban

That said, for a TF reboot I'd just use the idea I had posted earlier for TF4, since I intended it to serve as both a loose sequel AND/OR a soft reboot anyway.

Look at Spider-man franchise even though the 3rd movie was awful that was a mega franchise and that still got rebooted. I think its just fresh to reboot franchises after 3 movies.

To be fair, he's currently making another one. Granted, the jury is still out on how that'll turn out.

Regardless, I think District 9 showed that he could handle live-action TF movie. He showed that he tell a cohesive story and do action scenes. And most importantly, he also succeded in giving CGI characters personalities and heart. Which is one of the biggest flaws with the last three films.

Reboot? Without Shia? Without Bay? We could only hope! - http://theworldofrossology.tk/more-t...ye-not-likely/

The one thing I want out of the reboot at some point. Dinobots.
