Transformers Is it exaggerating to start a "upgrade" megatron site?

the domain name www.upgrademegatron.com is available.

I personally think what Batmun's been saying makes great sense. Give megatron a chance to get an earth mode at the end of this movie so we have something "nicer-to-our-eyes" in TF2.

The site could be just a place that gather some the same voices over the internet. So hopefully brings some attention to the movie producer.

What are talking about? The movie is finished.

ok, then that's what they can do in TF2.

Dude, Megatron looks AWESOME> He actually looks intimidating, and not a pale faced dumbass.

 

[Spidey Lover 10]

don't!!!! HE'S FINE AS IT IS!!!

I love the current Megatron, he reminds me of a mix of the G1 Megatron and the Cybertron megatron. Plus, a gun isn't an option for a giant robot to transform into. Cheating sizes like that just isn't fair. And how does a giant gun move anyways? This is supposed to be realistic, not some kind of ridiculous kid's cartoon. Maybe you're still 5 years old in that head of yours, you know, that age that you think floating giant pistols are awesome?

there are other couple of threads you need to dig to get the idea.

This Megatron looks NOTHING like any previous incarnation. Megatron could have retained resemblance to previous incarnations without transforming into a P-38...or is that beyond what you can imagine?

And if it weren't for that "ridiculous kid's cartoon" this movie you guys are looking so forward to wouldn't exist...so respect should be shown.

You mean a terran vehicle? All the vehicles he's been so far: tank, race car, missile launcher platform, spaceship, cybertron fighter

The tank is already taken, the current megatron is too huge, important and intimidating to be a racecar (besides, that's too autobot-ish), the missile launcher platform is already taken, and the spaceship/fighter craft are what's left. I'd take that, just like how he currently is. It fits perfectly and gives him this "evil" look. Plus, the stealth fighter never was a good idea for Megatron. It isn't a good fit for him at all.

EDIT: Yeah, I agree with you, nosebleed, without it, we wouldn't have this movie. But keep in mind that this is old. Micheal Bay has remade the Transformers story into more of a mature story. Well, every age has a part to see. We all have the transformers, the main part of the movie (the reason why kids would love to watch the movie too), we have a teenage love story and a serious story point involving the army and reality as it is. This movie is for all ages. The original transformers cartoon was fun, but it was more for children under 13. Some older people watched it too, there's always older people who watch cartoons. I was 5 when I first started being into Transformers. The series just kept evolving on and on. I think that the movie now fits with my age, enough so I can go "OMFG" at it.

how many times do i have to say this again?

megatron scans and turn into an F117 in TF2. over!

So they're going to make Megatron into an aircraft that the Air Force is going to retire soon...makes sense.

And you're only 15? Why do sound so much less idiotic than spidey lover 10? You've made a good point...I'll spare you from my wrath.

haha, what the hell does megatron knows? he just think it's something cool then scan it. t:

 

[mMark]

i remember almost ever since the TF movie thing started, there's been these talks over megatron all over the place in almost all threads. seems that he is the no.1 character in this story, not prime.

By the way, sorry for seeing somewhat *agressive*...I didn't really mean to...just getting used to the vibe. I've been on forums of video games such as Command & Conquer 3 and Starcraft 2, where I've seen everyone litteraly "b***" over anything at EA and Blizzard for making every little change to the game. They want just the same game as the original with updated graphics and a new story that follows the first. They don't like and understand innovation, that's why I might've been a little "mean" at first sight, because I am usually sick of hardcore classic fans whining at everything and me being the only one who cares and likes the new changes. Don't worry though, I'm not gonna start yelling like them at every little thing. But let's just not do that here, it's already more calm than the other movie forums around here on SHH. Change is needed, innovation is needed. I personally think I'd hate and get bored out of my mind with an exact remake of something all the time. But that's just me, not all of you guys. Anyways, you don't have to worry about me being "b****y", I'll try to help around more passively than agressively.

Its all good bru.

What are you doing here?? Get off the Hype and get on my DRAWING

 

[millennium movies]

LOL^

I've asked him lately where it was at, and surprisingly i didnt get a response back. Where is that drawing...

 

[Darkest Knight]

Some fanboys just can't take change, and adaptation. If there was no toys, you wouldn't have ven had the cartoon, so shut it. Megs look intimidating. Who wants to see lame 80's cartoon models for a big budget, seriously threatning, in your face, new millenia version of these characters? Some of yall just can't get your ideas and visions out of the box. These characters look way cooler than their cartoon counterparts.

So you think you coming on here telling people to "shut it" is going to convince people? You probably read one thread and you think you know everything that's going on here eh? People didn't want to see "lame 80's cartoon models" or are you just making stuff up? There is ALWAYS a middle ground that can be reached.

I'm not even bothered by the designs anymore. Just by people like you who come here and spout about how the original designs were crap, that Bay is saving the day by making these characters unrecognizable and similar types of spew. The Transformers universe does not begin and end with this movie. If this movie was never made there would still be a LARGE fan following for Transformers...so no...Bay is not the Transformers god.

i told you man, everytime you say that i'm gonna take a break for the rest of the nite...

 

[Darkest Knight]

I'm not claiming any of that. Where did you get that I was proclaiming Michael Bay, god? Nor am I saying this is the end all be all of the universe of Transformers. Although it could end up being the most entertaining edition. AND most profitable.

But that just goes to show my point. For every other movie franchise on god's green earth, which is an adaptation of something else, virtually all of them have beefed up or added new takes visually to the characters to make them fresh, so they "pop" on screen, and so they make sense within the context. But once again, you're proving my point, bro. You go on to say this isn't the end all be all of Transformers, then why are all you dorks who live in the past feel so threatned or upset by new looks to these characters? If you want to reminisce on your old cartoons, pop them in your VHS and watch them. Don't proceed to b1tch, moan and complain or rip something else, which is obviously meant artistically to take the concept and update it. And trust me, it needed updating, especially to look physically imposing on screen, and to draw in a new generation of fans. I'm not here to see "block warriors." If you want that old school vibe, with the looks you have so rigidly placed in your mind, go back and watch them. Don't however put down an ARTIST who has the balls to take a concept and put a fresh and more interesting spin on the stuff. That's called being a hater.

As has been said about a billion times in this forum...there can be updating while still maintaining resemblance.

Why couldn't they do THAT with the rest of the Transformers?

 

[Darkest Knight]

Because when looking at them visually, they looked lame and outdated. And in order to be taken seriously, they were updated and/or changed. That's why. They couldn't go too far with OP b/c he;s the most recognizable character, the one with the most following, etc. Fans would boycott the movie, and go even crazier then they are now if OP was re-imagined. Not to mention the design of OP in itself is much easier to translate on film w/o looking lame. And yet still they had to make improvements, and they made OP look way more kick ass, and serious. When adapting Megatron, they probably thought it looked just straight silly. So, to make a villian that was actually threatning, they gave him a new design. Same goes for the rest.
