Dark of the Moon The Official Transformers 3 News And Speculation Thread - Part 2

[Darth Megatron]

Anybody got a pic of Megs siting on the Lincoln Memorial throne and blowing the head off that would be a great avatar

 

[Darth Megatron]

Anyone notice how M.Bay used a lil bit of All Hail Megatron comics regarding the Cons turning Chicago into a fortress like Megs did NYC, the cons invading Earth, the autobots being exiled, and a space brigde being transported to Earth

 

[Rock Sexton]

This movie is an assault on senses and the mind.

Every time I think of this movie I keep thinking back to a Jim Rome comment about booger eaters. LOL.

 

[dark_b]

i think that the only reason why some think that TF3 is better then TF2 is only because there was no dog sex and the editing was slower because of 3D.everything else is like...........the same from the first movie.

the TF finale was great. it had a normal narrative. in TF2 and TF3 it was a footage thrown together. the action had almost no story.

and please explain to me why would anyone on this planet belive that the autobot died in the shuttle? they f.... promoted th chicago action in the trailers.

But a scene in a bathroom stall wasn't nearly as juvenile? LOL ....

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Because audiences laugh, cheer, clap and hoot at Shia LaBeof being pushed against by a bathroom stall by a guy going, "Deep Wang! Deep Wang!"
And this is more of a juvenile comedy movie and the title characters are missing for more than half of the movie. Micheal Bay has no idea what kind of tone/movie he wants. His comedy is out of place, like a serious scene shows Shia being captured by Decepticons an putting a device on him and it's a serious scene. Suddenly, next scene he's dying slapstick thanks to the device

Imagine if Rachel's death in Dark Knight was followed by Bruce and Alfred joking around.
And this has nothing to do with quality. It's called consistency.

Not to mention I feel that Bay considers the Transformers an annoyance and would rather have a movie about the military saving the world.

That's no reason for someone to be a jerk to those who disagree with them.

Bay would've been more suited to G.I. Joe.

 

[Superhero 101]

How can you like something but not enjoy it?

It can't get any clearer than what I said but to make it more simpler for u
I liked half the movie but did not enjoy the whole movie

Examples of a movie I enjoyed would be dark knight casino royale iron man and first class

 

[Longshot777]

It would have been a descent movie, if Bay fleshed out fleshed out more robot scenes and better intro for the new robots INSTEAD of having lots of pointless scenes like Malcovich playing around with Bumblebee...I mean WTF was that...that was soo pointless and everyone in the audience was like...awkward....were you TRYING to be funny Bay???



Anyways, Can someone name the robots???

Is Topspin the action figure suppose to be Q??

What are the names of those 3 decepticon cars (One was a lion or something) on the highway scenes???

What are the names of those 3 Autobot Wreckers??

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Topspin (blue) is 1 of the Wreckers. The other two are Leadfoot (red) and Roadbuster (green).

The cons on the highway are the Dreads (Crankcase, Hatchet and Crowbar)

Q is the bot who got executed.

Do you want to know the rest?

 

[Trainwreck2100]

there were alot of executions in this movie

 

[kumo2121]

Changes I would make to fix the movie

1) Shockwave is leader on cybertron in megatron's absence

2) Megatron chased the allspark after he sees the ark get hit; thus implying a change in plans............ to link it with TF1 story

Change in overall plot
3) Use the pillars to bring decepeticons from cybertron and not from the moon or bringing cyberton itself; decepticons would take over earth and make it their new cybertron

wtf was suppose to happen once cyberton comes through? It looked like it would collide into earth and destroy it....anyways....

Shockwave would come from Cyberton with Decepticon army and fight autobots in an awesome battle with actual fighting and strategies

Optimus takes on both Sentinel Prime and Shockwave and kills them

Megatron then unveils true plans, since he was so damaged/injured he planned on Optimus to defeat Sentinel and Shockwave, Megatron uses the allspark piece that revived him (like how Optimus can take out the matrix) uses it to repair himself using Shockwave's and Sentinel Prime's parts and becomes Super Megatron or Galvatron

Ultimate battle between Megs and Optimus with them mortally wounding each other, Optimus, before death, realizing that Earth will never be safe as long as Autobots or Decepticons are there uses the pillar to transport all Transformers back to Cybertron saying a true farewell to Sam to never lose faith in themselves and they're on their own then cue the sad Linkin Park song and credits

I believe this would have made an overall better film and hope you guys agree! =D

 

[Dr Lee]

I'd change 3 things...

1) Lose the Deep Wang scene.... the rest of Jeong's stuff was good... but the Deep Wang scene was a bit annoying

2) Lose or move the scene with Sam talking to his parents after the big twist scene... kinda felt a bit disjointed with the Horror that had just happened, then having the little comedy bit

3) have Brains & Wheelie survive.... those two were awesome....

 

[Symbiotic]

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not convinced that

Spoiler

Wheelie and Brains died. I like to think they survived the ship going down.

Nelson has been making comments on SFTE that...

Spoiler

They died, but i agree that they could easily have survived the impact....

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

3) have Brains & Wheelie survive.... those two were awesome....

It's funny, for a Bay film, that was the only raunchy humor scene, and compared to his last two outings it was tame. Jeong like just spit it out like we weren't gonna here it or something "Uh...Ohhhh....ummm....deep wang". It's almost like Bay was half-assing it, like he was putting it in out of habit or something.

 

[protocida]

^ I believe that, in the novel, Wheelie and Brains survive.

On the other hand, Mirage is the one that gets executed by Soundwave and Wheeljack is literally torn apart by Starscream and Sam finds his pieces floating in the river.

 

[Longshot777]

Topspin (blue) is 1 of the Wreckers. The other two are Leadfoot (red) and Roadbuster (green).

Thanks Jake Cassidy,

I pretty much know the rest.

I was going by which toys were in the movie. So that means...they don't have Q, Dino, Soundwave, Hatchet, Crowbar, and Leadfoot
toy robots.

 

[Dr Lee]

Dino won't be a toy.... Mattel have the image rights to Ferrari cars.... so Hasbro can't make a Dino toy... what they can do is have a red sports car called Mirage

Hatchet is a Legend toy.... and i've seen a Leadfoot toy (Complete with what looks like the engine as his faithful Dog)

 

[terry78]

So it's total domestic was 162 mil. Not bad. Still needs about 30 mil more to make its budget back.

 

[antsman41]

Wow, just got back. I see the first one as ok (love Bumblebee, Sam, and Optimus mainly) then was frustrated with the second one but this one was great. Yes, it's still a Bay film (not that bad of a thing).

I loved it, I feel they finally got a Transformers movie right for once. The Chicago battle scene was crazy. Kind of mad they filmed in the Chicago Post Office but said it was in Washington DC as the NEST HQ.

New girl was ok (she already wins over Fox for the Megatron trick out at the end), and Dempsey was surprisingly good.

Sam/Bumblebee/Optimus are the backbone of these films. As long as those three are rocking, I can forgive anything else.

I'm not afraid to say, the most emotion these films have were in those Bumblebee and Sam going away/almost dying/brother scenes...

It sucks it took them this long to get these films right.

Does anyone know if they want to keep going at all?

Also, they only main gripe is the "back-history" retconning they seem to do in every film. Sometimes they should just let a new "at-the-moment" force attack the Autobots.

 

[mc7791]

not sure if they will move forward with the franchise at it stands now or reboot. We know that Bay will not be back to direct and Shia will not be back either. Yeah I dont care for how they treat the history of everything either. What if the Fallen was successful? Then that would kill Megs plan. Not to mention everything else. At the end of the film I did have a really good feeling. I loved DOTM too. Part of me also does not want it to end.

 

[Hotwire]

Dino won't be a toy.... Mattel have the image rights to Ferrari cars.... so Hasbro can't make a Dino toy... what they can do is have a red sports car called Mirage

Hatchet is a Legend toy.... and i've seen a Leadfoot toy (Complete with what looks like the engine as his faithful Dog)

We should he getting Mirage as a toy. Someone posted a pic of him on Facebook. Most likely a similar situation to Sideways in the last one.

Yes. Because as you demonstrated in your above post, you are soooo good at making your statements very clear and consise.

 

[xwolverine2]

michael bay stole shots from The Island for the car chase......LITERALLY! o_o


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7kcqB3thJM&feature=player_embedded

i mean really?...i know it wasnt a matter of them being over budget.. im sure it was more of michael saying "hey wouldnt it be cool if we used those cool shots from the island?"

i find that so trashy when movies do that.. thats a straight to dvd move

 

[Jake Cassidy]

That's homage to the cartoon. They reused scenes all the time. t:
