Dark of the Moon Michael Bay has killed Transformers for me

[roach]

Characters starting off as animals is different than changing the whole line into animals

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I could never get into Beast Wars. The original series is the only 1 I like.

ohhh your one of those "truck not monkey" types.

Say what you want, the TF line was all but dead dead till Beast Wars brought it back to life.

Everything is pointless

Shame, BW's had some wonderful stories and characters.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I'll get over it. t:

 

[roach]

no i am not a "Truck not monkey" type...i just find the hypocrisy that you are ok with a massive shift to the line from vehicles to animals but Bay makes his changes and everyone is up in arms. You are ok with a gorilla but not a Peterbilt truck with flames???
It doesnt makes sense to me.

What hypocrisy??

I never complained about the change in Primes truck type or the flames.

Maybe you should pay closer attention to who says what.

And keep in mind, that gorilla was never Optimus Prime.

A Transformers show without Optimus Prime is pointless. t:

The popularity of Beast Wars, Beast Machines and the 3 Japanese G1 series , Headmasters, Masterforce and Victory proves that wrong.

Megatron in Beast Wars is the future version of the same Megatron from G1.

Micheal Bays Megatron is simply a replacement of the G1 version.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Turning alt-modes into animals was completely pointless.

It was the evolution of Transformers in the future.

You're not changing old characters you're telling the story of how those old characters evolved.

The Bay movies are changing old characters pointlessly into something unrecognizable.

Sorry but your wrong.

BW's Megatron is a completely different character, from the future of G1, trhat took the name to honor the original.

It was a joke. I thought you would've got.

 

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

It was a joke. I thought you would've got it.

I new you were joking around a bit, but since you say you are only a fan of the original toon, I figured it was still telling it how you felt.

 

[Hotwire]

It really is like debating with a wall. I just hope that the people who post in this thread about how they hate what Bay has done will not be buying tickets. I know I would hate to have to sit in the same theater with them.

I couldn't recognize my favorite G1 characters the first time I saw Beast Wars.

It wasn't. Just a joke and nothing more.

 

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Might be because none of them were G1 characters.

It wasn't. Just a joke and nothing more.

Sorry

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Nothing to be sorry about, mate.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Might be because none of them were G1 characters.

Obviously I don't know much about Beast Wars, but even I knew that. t:

Don't worry. Your standards aren't going to magically get higher by sitting next to a G1 purist.

 

[Hotwire]

I know, they were pointless replacements.

I'm applying Decoy's points about the movies to Beast Wars.

 

[Hotwire]

Don't worry. Your standards aren't going to magically get higher by sitting next to a G1 purist.

My blood pressure would. though. And I can't imagine someone like yourself even going to see the movies in the theater.

Well my point stays the same.

Bay alters G1 characters while Beast Wars is a futuristic extension of the G1 universe.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Don't worry. Your standards aren't going to magically get higher by sitting next to a G1 purist.

Yeah, but our intelligence may get lowered.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Yeah, but out intelligence may get lowered.

Do you mean "our"?
