Transformers No Lips On Prime Thread (a civil version)

[Ghost Ridin']

I thought it would be a good idea to post another no lips on Prime thread since the other one got a bit out of hand and got closed.

So this time I added a simple yes or no question just to get the point across.



Please try to keep it civil so this doesn't get shut down too.

At this point, I don't really care about the lips so I'm not voting.
But I will say this: I never in my life thought I'd look at Optimus Prime and say 'yuck.'

NO LIPS!!!

I can't wait to see this movie, but giving Prime lips is very bad idea (almost just like Batman having nipples)!!!

I can't believe we can't all agree that the lips are a bad idea.

Well, it is 4 to 0, BF.
But, I do have a feeling nobody gives a flying f* anymore.

I've said this before, but i'm not that keen on how they look in the image that Cth posted here yesterday. BUT as we've only seen them in a static image and a not-so-good quality dark trailer i'm going to refrain form making my mind up untill i get a better look.

Faceplate all the way for me,unlike Dr Lee i thought that the image last night was pretty good of Prime without the faceplate compared with the clip footage but it still pales next to Prime with the faceplate

Exactly 2 months form now, most of you will be wathcing Transformers and posting your opinions on these and other forums.

This movie is about 3-4 weeks from being locked (locked means that no more changes can be made to a film so that it could be release for masive reel duplication).

At this point, there are few mods left. Mike is tweaking the ending and maybe shaving off some minutes here and there. He's waiting for some final renders from ILM and that's it.

The photo of OP in the LA Times should tell you what the final decision is on the mouth/faceplate/battle mask is.

He and others then start the international press tour in early June.

So for now, could we stop and relax on the whining?

Nothing you say, post, scream will have an impact at this point.

If you don't like the choices, fine. And if you do, good for you.

Take a rest, and come back in 2 months all ready for more debating.

Trust me, if Armageddon was any indication, you'll need the energy and then some. There will be twice as many detractors.

Just ask Ed Fuego of how lt was at Harry's AICN when Armageddon premiered.

What the ****. Let the alien robot have his lips.

I don't think I've ever seen a filmmaker so embracing of criticism and sucktitude (not just through his mod, but in interviews). Maybe Uwe Bowl (maybe). I guess when your movies make money, that's all that really "matters."

And, personally, I don't think people should "relax." They should voice their opinions even more. Word-of-mouth is a deadly thing. Sure, nothing is gonna change in the movie, but who cares? At least then you'll know you voiced an opinion on Hollywood Craptitude.

I like 'em in the most recently release movie still. Although, they do make him look a wee-bit like Bubba from Forest Gump.

Lips or not lips. I don't care. Lips don't make Prime.

I agree with that... except I would have added an "a" before Prime. Rodimus Prime and Optimus Primal had lips. But, Optimus Prime having lips (and an especially ugly ugly face) just doesn't seem right.

I prefer to be conservative with my civil threads. Message Boards, they're serious business.

Optimus Prime can have lips or not. Isn't a big deal in the end.

 

[Timstuff]

I don't really care either way.

 

[shigsy2003]

No lips, they look atrocious.

 

[xwolverine2]

lips look fine to me... i like it all equally. both have their ups and downs.

theres bigger things to wine about than lips..lol

Hey xw2! Haven't seen you much since Ghost Rider came and went. I missed you.

Yeah, I agree. The whole notion of lips doesn't bother me much... especially since we know that he WILL have his battle mask at points in the movie. What does bother me is that Optimus is downright fugly. Like I said before, I never thought I'd look at Optimus Prime and say "yuck."

ive been around..... im always around

optimus looks fishly in the side angle from the tv spot... the frontal pic above looks perfect to me.

Thinking back to what I remember most as a child, it was the fact that Optimus was a big red truck and had this cool ninja face plate. I thought those were defining details. It's a shame they could only get halfway there.
