A new video has gone up on StopSectorSeven that shows old recorded footage of a certain backstabbing Transformer.

Check out this new home recording of an F-15 Non Biological Entity...Or as we like to call him. Starscream.

hey sweet, that`s the Masterpiece Starscream model.

Definately looks like it.

See, that looked good.

Now i realise why bay went the way he did.... there would be no believability in the movie if starscream looked like that. Now I'm not saying they should have went as extreme as they did with starscream (or robo-kong as i like to call him) but having the original design wouldnt have worked IMO

Yup. But instead we got...

Okay, I now "get it."

All you guys that live to bash this movie because of the designs, I'll now agree with you (on this one point only).

It would have been totally sweet for Starscream to look like this in the movie. (Sorry for the 1995-98 pop language reference, I get mentally stuck there on occasion).

Nope, wouldn't have worked in the movie, way too cartoonish looking.

Holy slag, that woulda rocked. Maybe not the G1 colors, but the body type...

I wonder why they are shooting their own feet with counter-evidence now.

So awesome, and makes an excellent avatar.

I agree.

Anyway, this is the video from Agent X's most recent podcast I was talking about here.

old design seems weird with the new movie design existing.

Hmm.. much as I love the old designs, that looks like a bag of ass in terms of suspension of disbelief.

Would make an awesome animation style for a TV series or whatever, but there is no sense of awe to that. Just looks like a big toy.

That's my thought exactly. As cool as that looked, if we got that on the big screen, I'd be insulted. I wanna realistic robots duking it out, not giant toys.

wooooooo boy, look at the brainwash patrol hating what they once loved.

I'm no where near brainwashed, I actually appritiate change. I'm not some nostalgia fanatic who whines at the first site of change.

And so you know, I've been a fan since '84. My first TFs where G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron, which I still have and think they're 2 of best TFs ever made. So get your facts straight before you insult someone.

What does that prove ?

That you're flaming.

Flaming... silly word, that.

I'm just disgusted by all the people who seem to forget the truth in favor of clinging to something they so desperately want to be good that they'd except anything with its name attached.

I really like how that looked - what's wrong with the designs being "cartoonish"? It's all animated anyway...

What truth? Have you seen it? Will you see it? If not, you loose all right to complain because you have no facts backing it up. In 4 days I'm going. If it sucks, I'll gladly eat my words. But everything I've seen I liked, which I'm intitled to. You come into a movie discussion, and say the same thing over and over. And then you insult other people when they disagree, it's kinda ridiculous.

On that note, I'm done. I'm not gonna fuel this fire anymore.

You say that you liked everything you saw, I say that I hated everything. I know all that needs to be known about this movie. I know the storyline and I know the visual approach. Both are abhorrent. There is no way it could get better by staring at it two hours in a row.

Sigh. I really thought we were past this type of stuff. For a good month people had either excepted and embraced what was given or they realized it wasn't their movie and they just stopped visiting this area of the forums. Then you have to come and start it all up again. Ah well.

I am a huge G1 fan.
I hated all of the preliminary designs, I hated the leaked scripts, I dreaded the movie.
Saw it yesterday, loved it. It was fun. It was exciting. It was Transformers.
The difference between you and I is that you seem hell bent on spilling your bile everywhere, you're so completely invested in your own opinion that you would never ALLOW yourself to enjoy the movie. Seriously, 'abhorrent'? 'Disgusted'? Where's your achievement beyond attacking people who enjoy themselves? You're sanctimonius, a flamer, and a waste of space.
