Yeah Charlie voiced the Bay movies, but I was just being happy that Scott Whyte who did the PS3/PS4 game was the first one who managed to emulate Latta's original G1 Starscream. (and who really cares about the Bay movies right?)Quote:

Hmm, Doug Parker came pretty close too.
Yeah, I realized my embarassing mistake about Charlie Adler once I checked again, but I swear a few years ago IMDB had him listed as the voice of the original.

It would be kind of neat to go back in time and watch a live-action Transformers movies about, you know, Transformers… and not some stupid kids and boring military stereotypes.
I hate to say it, but I think Paul WS Anderson would make a better Transformers movie than Michael Bay.
Seen this yet?

You just know they'll fuck it up though, Hollywood lost their magic touch years ago.
but I gotta admit my heart skipped a beat when I saw Optimus and Soundwave in this trailer.
Wow... somewhat cartoon-accurate Starscream, Soundwave, AND Shockwave. Interesting.
Looks like it's still canon with the Bay movies...? I'm betting that 65% of the three-hour run time will be devoted to that girl and John Cena.
Some people say that yeah, but.. how? suddenly the Military doesn't know who the Decepticons/Autobots are anymore?Quote:

Then the Decepticons screw everybody over and try to blow up a dam or something equally big, until Bumblebee and his fellow Autobots (who came back on earth just in time) stop them.
Suddenly John Cena realizes his mistake and turns face and like blows up Starscream.
End Credits : Megatron or Galvatron or Unicron show up or something.
Do Bay's Transformers fans have the mental capacity to even know what a series canon is? They might be more into Transformers piss jokes and whoever is the new Megan Fox stand in. Does it even matter, to begin with? First 3 films are literally the exact same film and after that, I think they just put in cardboard cutouts of transformers in front of the camera and set off explosions for 140 minutes for every film afterward. After that, the only people giving these pieces of shit their money live in China, where they keep making money. I have seen a few who think this POS will be good because of classic designs. Second Ninja Turtles film put in Krang plus Rocksteady and Bebop. Still was a massive steaming POS. It will only be more depressing because you get a glimpse of what it could have been. If this flops then they will do what they are doing with the TMNT brand. Reboot it but still keep Bay at the helm. Just give up on the idea there will ever be a good blockbuster Transformer film that isn't the 1986 animated film.
I'm embarrassed to know enough about the Transformers movies to discuss this with you.Quote:

At the beginning of the first Transformers movie, Bumblebee, Starscream, and a handful of decepticons are apparently the only ones on earth already. It's implied pretty strongly that when Prime arrives in that movie, it's his first time on earth... so I'm curious to see how they'll explain the flat-face semi design.
I predict that this movie will have share only very loose continuity with the other films, and we're probably not meant to put a whole lot of thought into it. You know... like the Star Wars prequels.
And SegataS, the only redeeming factor of the last TMNT movie was that Krang, Rocksteady and Bebop were in it. Granted, Bebop and Rocksteady were awful in it... but I appreciated the fact that they finally made it into a TMNT film. And they looked great, too.
Yeah they looked good and I don't think the casting for those 2 was all that bad but everything else was awful sadly in the film.
I am extremely proud that I have not watched any of the Michael Bay Transformers/TMNT movies.
And I wont watch the Bumblebee movie either, Hollywood tends to drown everything in politics these days.
The weird thing is that I thought the characters were totally spot-on. I thought the way they interacted with each other was absolutely perfect... but I couldn't stand them because they were so stupid and annoying. I'm not sure what that says about the movie (or myself!) when the characters are exactly the way I'd want them to be, and I still didn't like them.Quote:

Although a pretty devoted T-fan, I just wasn't interested in a live-action movie. Enjoyed the cartoon for what it was, owned a few of the comics, loved the toys, but I didn't feel compelled to see a Hollywood-washing of something that is such a cultural cornerstone to me.
I honestly figured that the first movie would be harmless at worst or at best a carefully plotted outline of origins: What makes the world of Transformers fantastic, its story compelling and characters beloved. The fallout otherwise would then follow in its quake a train-wreck of absent ideas in sequels. Pretty much the Pierce Brosnan era of James Bond movies but with robots.
In the end, I feel indifferent. I'm totally blind to any of these movies. And even before then, the animated movies had little interest in anything other than promoting a new toyline. I still hate Transformers 1986 save a few tremendous scenes. Heck, I listen to Stan Bush causally thanks to 'You've Got the Touch,' but when you have Optimus Goddamn Prime die the first 26 minutes into the film (YEAH, I REMEMBER IT BETTER THAN MY OWN PHONE NUMBER), I'm out.
The only thing that makes me giddy is to reflect on the unbelievable circumstances that unfolded in order to have the late great actor Orson Welles take part in one of his final credited and recognized roles... as Unicron.
