Transformers Now I'm Getting Annoyed... iPod? 360? WHY?!

[Octoberist]

exactly prognosicator.

THe transformers isn't about mythology or philosophy. It's ABOUT GIANT ROBOTS. THAT TRANSFORM!

They started off as toys so if I saw a walkiing Ipod, I wouldn't be 'upset' about it.

The more I read about the movie the more Bay is scaring my with his liberties and what he is doing. Im waiting for him to come out and say that the name is no longer Transformers but something else

If that happened...a lot of fanboys would be happy.

Not the "fanboy"... quite the contrary... it would prepare the casual Gen-X'er or lapsed fan who remembers the iconic things in Transformers and loved them and might leave the movie with a WTF? sort of look on his face... "I didn't remember Transformers being like any *** in that movie."

I don't know about liberties man. I'd say more like expanding on the idea. I mean they are after the energon which give transformers the power to transform. If Megatron turns it on he could make an army out of Earth's technology, which is basically everywhere on this planet, and with us wiped out he could have his own planet. A new Cybertron.

An Xbox Vs. PS3 battle. Now that I'd pay to see lol.

Hell, if they come out with a TF ipod that really plays itunes i'll probably buy it the first week it's out!

Without trying to get into this old debate concerning the movie... I do want to say that there was always something awe-inspiring in "imagining" something like my iPod all of a sudden catapulting away and transforming into a HUGE menacing and imposing robot right in my living room. My ipod changing into a mechanical pillsbury dough-boy... not so scary.

Um...
I wasn't referring to the casual fan or "looker-back". Has nothing to do with casual fans or lapsed fans...not what I was talking about at all.

I was referring to the various squads of G1 Transfans (big-time G1 Fans) who don't want this movie made. Many Transfans are purists of the highest caliber and refuse to accept a TF movie not being very, very close to More Than Meets The Eye, Parts 1-3.

First off, nobody called it More Than Meets The Eye. It was called Transformers. And I can bet a huge generation of people ONLY have knowledge of that Transformers.... (which is seemingly maligned nowadays by the few but seemingly rabid latter fans).

I'm not a purist. I think the original story should be updated. I just happen to think "updating" does not mean Bumblebee has to be a hot-rod. Just like Prime doesn't need to be a schoolbus.

What I was talking about has nothing to do with you...
I was referring to an actual group of Transfans that don't want this film to be made, or if it gets made they don't want it to be associated with Transformers.

Also...
Yes, the First 3 Episodes of Transformers are More Than Meets The Eye, Parts 1-3.
Which is the origin story to the TF's and all.

Cool, mini-cons.
