Transformers DVD Release Date - October 16th

[Bumblebee1983]

Still can't get over the fact that Bay indeed read all the criticism and ideas the fans throughout during production. It looked like he was mainly looking over on the Seibertron forums (they showed the site on the extras dvd), and reading stuff.

Sometimes i think all the ranting we as fans do go un-noticed by film makers, but this proves the power of protest. He indeed changed Megatrons look because of all of us that hated the intial designs and spoke up about it... And to me Megs looks alot better.

That is great of Bay to do and that's why respect for him has gone up in my book.

Do you also think maybe he checked the Ain't It Cool News forums? I mean people on there were hateful! But then again, maybe he didn't. Maybe he stuck with the Seibertron boards because those people know what they're talking about.

Okay, so let's start talking TF 2 and get his attention...

Not only did he change him for the fans and make him look better, in the extras it was either Bay or the writers. They had brought up a point that a lot of pissed off fans weren't thinking about. Megatron didn't feel the need to hide because of his arrogance, so he was still in his Cybertron original form.

Bay even says that he gave them those forms because it wouldn't make sense as it was in the cartoon with having them with Earth made car parts on their home planet without ever being on Earth to scan anything.

If only it wasn't a Heroes version of X-Box...

I hate that show.

 

[Golgo-13]

The logic the film makers give for the TF's picking their alt modes completely goes out the door when it comes to Scorponok. They said the TF's pics alt modes that match their mass, well according to the toy, Scorponok has a robot mode, so that means he chose a Scorpion as his alt mode. I don't think there's any giant Scorpions running around.

I do however like the idea that each one of a TF's cell is a tiny robot unto itself, allowing them to morph. I think it was Speilburg who said this in the sequel.

It looks to me like those are just gameskins that go over the actual system itself, meaning they'd go on and come off very easily.


Tell ya what, if you win this, I'll relieve you of your skins. Cause I'd LOVE to have those!

wow ... very nice

 

[Grievous]

I have the last one on the bottom left.

Scorponok, I personally didn't see as a specific transformer as all, hence the reason he doesn't scan an earth bound vehicle to blend in. To me, I thought it was pretty clear (in the film) that he was in fact a part of Blackout's exsoskeleton...meaning, like the weapons they form, Scorponok formed from within Blackout's skeleton.

Again, another reason why, size wise, he wasn't nearly as large as the other Decepticons. Bigger than Frenzy but much smaller than the others.

 

[Super Kal]

OK, TF fans... how is Scorponok pronounced? please bear with me

and I got the one in the middle, third DVD going left

More updates to come.. I am basically waiting for my Canadian Exclusives...

 

[Drizzle]

Michael Bay's the only one who pronounces it like that...and he's the director of the movie.

 

[Storm22]

For those who have the DVD, someone else here posted saying that there is loads of darkness around the widescreen bars towards the end of the movie. I don't understand what he/she meant but did anyone else experience this??

Do the widescreen bars get darker or bigger or something?

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Does anyone know if there have been any updates on the HD DVD lately? I mean as far as downloadable content? If not does anyone know how often it will be updated?

Transformers' HD DVD Smashes First-Week Sales Records
October 22, 2007

Paramount says first-week sales numbers for its HD DVD release of 'Transformers' top those of any other high-def disc released on either next gen format to date.

According to a just-issued press release from Paramount, the HD DVD edition of 'Transformers' sold over 100,000 units in its first day of release, and went on to sell an additional 90,000 units over next six days, making it the fastest and best-selling week one release on either high definition format, as well as the best selling HD DVD ever.

The standard-def version of 'Transformers' also made news, moving over 8.3 million units in its first week, and 4.5 million copies on day one, a new record for the year 2007.

The performance of the 'Transformers' DVD and HD DVD has demonstrated the phenomenal success of this global franchise," said Kelley Avery, president, Worldwide Home Entertainment, Paramount Pictures. “We’re happy to be kicking off the fourth quarter with a title that clearly shows home entertainment releases are still an event that drives consumers into stores—which is a win for both content providers and retailers.”

Paramount's HD DVD release of 'Transformers' last week came less than two months after the studio abruptly announced it would drop support of the Blu-ray format, and would release its next-gen titles on HD DVD exclusively. The studio reportedly received $150 million in exchange for its exclusivity.

Just out of curiousity...how much did you spend on the movie?

I know me and my fiance probably spent over a $100 seeing it theaters many times...and then of course my memorabilia/collector's items, well, that's a different story.
