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

Exactly, things just dont change on SHH, I dont care what anyone says, I have a blast when I watch ROTF.

same here, it's a damn FUN movie

enjoy it everytime I watch and can't wait for the 3rd

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I always watch both movies back to back.

 

[*Dead*End*]

I think I will also always enjoy both movies, even if I know them by heart.

I think Bay has COMPLETELY missed the mark with SS's personality. The SS i know is not this snivelling coward, who kisses Megatron's ass at every corner; Soundwave was moreso Megatron's chief boot licker. SS is supposed to be bold, and arrogant. SS is supposed to question Megatron's decisions. The SS know openly tells Megatron to his face that he feels he would make the better leader, and constantly talks about over throwing him. Bay's SS is a far cry from this.

Actually, that much is true of Starscream. Starscream thinks of himself very highly, but actually he is just a snivelling coward. Even though he acts as though he'd be a better leader than Megatron, even he knows this is not the case. This is evidenced heavily in the cartoon, but also in the comics. It was often in the cartoon where Megatron would minorly punish Starscream for disobedience and Starscream would immediately beg and plead for mercy and forgiveness. Even in his most brazen acts of defiance he still hid behind more powerful Decepticons like Shockwave and the Combaticons.

Starscream is a skilled fighter and dangerous, as seen in the movies and on the recent animated series, but if **** doesn't go his way, he's quick to turn and run.

When i said snivelling coward i meant the boot lickering, wimpy SS we got from Bay. I remember SS retreating all the time in the G1 cartoon and comics when things got too hot for him, and that's fine. But he never kissed Megatron's ass; he openly questioned his authority whenever he could, because he thought he was better than him....

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Starscream sucked up a couple of times. Mainly because he didn't want Megatron to kick his arse. t:

I do agree that he should have bigger balls in the movies.

Like Devastator.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

yea, Bay definitley missed the mark on Starscream. Not once did I laugh, snicker or giggle t: when he was on screen

in the cartoons, he's the comedic relief. In the movies, he was anything but

I concur and actually SS questioning Megatron's plans but whenever confronted never having the guts to back up his dissent made him even more cowardly than anything I seen in Bay's TF films. Logically why, in the old cartoon series, speak up if you know there isn't a damn thing you can directly do about it?

Same here, I cant help but enjoy it whenever I watch it.

I always watch both movies back to back.

I tried that the other week and loved it, definately doing it again before TF3.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I watched them both again last night.

I think though the real issue is the lack of character development period. I don't think Starscream acted out of character, he just lacked the screentime to really hit all the nuances of his character. Yeah, Starscream has been seen ass-kissing on more than a few occasions, then quietly protesting behind the backs of his comrades. For example, in "Revenge of Bruticus" he asks Megatron sheepishly if he did a good job at the end of the episode. His only true act of outright ballsy defiance is in the movie when Megatron has one foot in the grave. You can pull out some key moments of his scheming, yeah, but that's because you have nearly 70 episodes versus 5 minutes of dialogue in ROTF. Also, his treacherous ways have, as of now, not been a plot point. I'd say he acted in character within the confines of the plot. Starscream isn't a universial backstabber, he picks and chooses his moments.

It's a shame they never explored the possibility of Starscream killing Megatron in the first movie.

 

[*Dead*End*]

There is news about Rosie being seen on set in a bathrobe, in the picture she is seen smoking, and with her hair up (and still blond), so she probably will be a different character from Mikaela.

Also there is another news about the D.C. shoot, where the producers were denied to film a car-race in the National Mall area.

This Rosie girl looks really hot in the link you posted, I just hope that she isn't playing Megan Fox's "Mikayla" role but probably will be. What's with the green Rachet? Is it a temporary change or will he look like that for the whole movie?

 

[Ipodman]

Ratchet's more of White now..... going for G1 colours I guess. Should have been white from the first movie... lots of people confused him with Bumblebee

And looks like Optimus is gonna have a scene with Ironhide and Ratchet? Cool

Look at those sexy boney hands and arms.

Plus it kinda looks like she's picking her nose in it.

 

[Dr Lee]

it's not the best shot of her, no.....

only real problem i have with it is she's smoking.... thats quite a turn off for me
