This is good news. Leaves me hopeful.

On the plus side: The last trailer I saw (when I watched ROTF the 2nd time) was actually quite good, made me want to see it.

Minus side: A friend of mine who worked on the movie (& is diehard Joe comic fan) said he didn't think the film will be that good. Don't know what his opinion is now though. Rumor has it that director Stephen Sommers was kicked out of the editing room & a new editors were brought in -things got so heated. Unfortunately the studio/money men get final say.

I'm having trouble getting past the really shitty-looking Cobra Commander they went with in the film. Totally screwing up an iconic character can be a dealbreaker.

Can you point me in the direction of a pic of this new Cobrs Commander? I've been dying to see what he looks like.
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

No, I followed it easily as well.

He was an extra, he hasn't seen the final product, which as we've seen includes heavy CGI. That's like criticizing a comic even though you've only seen the pencils, not the inks, colors, or even text.

It never happened, it was just a rumor that got out of hand. Sommers never got fired or kicked out of anything.

Right here. Sorry it's so small, could soemone find a bigger pic?

The good news, that's Destro wearing that mask. Bad news, that's Cobra Commander on the far right.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but I believe this article was written by someone who hated ROTF and wants to attack it.
And yeah ROFT was also similar to the TF cartoon so he is a real jerk.

Seriously, Power Suits, I didn't even like Sigma Six that much.

But yeah, at least Destro seems spot-on.

Look, I'm a Transformers fan, not a GI Joe fan when it comes to toys and collecting.

All I can say is, ROC can't be worse than ROTF :?

Shadowman...

The movie poster you put a link up to does NOT show Destro.....The black-masked guy between the Baroness and CC is a Neo Viper.....there have been no released photos of Destro actually in his mask....Hes unmasked for almost the whole movie from what Ive read.......

You are SPOT ON about the Viper, but I don't think it is a "Neo Viper", the toys just call him Viper.
I am not certain whether or not Destro is masked early on or not, but I hear there is enough of it in mask to enjoy it.
