It just seems that someone here has to play devil's advocate and defend Bay against those that, for some reason, seem to have a definite grudge against him.
I'm not sure of the reason for this vitriol, but there's certainly no need to get wound up just because Bay happens to change the colour of one of your favourite G1 characters. I mean, no-ones forcing you to watch the films or buy the toys, are they now?
Transformers is always doing this. As previously mentioned, we've had a blue Go-Bot Sideswipe, a gold Beast Wars Prowl, and in G2 we had any number of different coloured Dinobots, Constructicons and Combaticons.
But when Bay does it, he gets it from both barrels, it would seem.
Now, I've had a pretty good stab at explaining why Bay might have chosen to avoid the colour red, from a technical point of view, but apparently this still isn't good enough for some people.
Oh well, think what you want. Just seems a bit petty and vindictive, is all.
You've explained the logic for Bay's point of view. I've explained why it's crap. Would you care to tell me why I'm wrong, or will you continue to insist I'm just mindlessly hating?
easy Sledge... dont go breaking things now...
I can understand the technical aspects and the fact that bay could be talking crap, and I actually am in agreement with sledge because of one simple thing, no ne has actaully come up with a valid argument to why they think Sledge is in the wrong? I havent seen anything...
I would aslo like to point out that the majority of holywood's newest films are shot using the latest technological camera's. sometimes the director will choose the film that best brings out the atmosphere of the movie, and looking at the shiny colourfulness of the first film (well for its daylight scenes anyway, everything - all colours - were punched out i.e they were vibrant, but not oh my god thats in my face and burning my eyes vibrant, so a lot of the colours popped when they were against the city backgrounds.
Also you have to understand that the film will have been digitized for the inclusion of the transformers themselves, so there would have been final tweaks and alterations of colour in the post production program which would have or would give them the opportunity to make the colours fit into a more substantial manner.
So yes Sledge is right for calling bullshit on this because there is no substantiated argument for why he is wrong. Yes there are valid points for why Bay hasn't painted him red, but with all the post production mayhem that gets added for the final stuff before the film is released you would think or know that they could paint him red and have it be done with.
