Is it safe to rank the generic Bayverse Decepticon soldiers with the Star Trek red shirts and the Star Wars Storm Troopers as inept cannon fodder?

Dinosaur?

Everything except the main characters were live action that movie, and it was both a commercial and critical success.

Wow, we sure are glad that you've seen the movie already to know enough to state this as a fact.

And we're sure glad that you know how every lower class to lower middle class man live his life to confirm that a guy struggling to put his daughter through school has no atmosphere to it.

hen why it's called Transformers? If it's an human movie, why we need all these giant transforming robots. They don't need them as allies, and now they don't need them as enemies too!

You're about 30 years too late with this complaint, man.

TurboMMaster wrote:And all these ships are there because?

Spaceships aren't Decepticons.

Did he?

We have a new Transformers: Age of Extinction character poster featuring Chinese actress Li Bingbing. She will portraying Sue Yueming, the CEO of a Chinese industrial company involved in developing/reverse engineering Transformer tech.

I'm assuming this is a poster for the Chinese market and not a cheeky gag.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing it in American theater lobbys.
RRRrrroowwrrr

Excuse me? We have a middle american trying to make ends meet by scraping cars. Basicly doing what he has to do to make ends meet. Sounds alot like what people are going through these days.

Sounds like nearly every universe of TF.

TurboMMaster wrote:We already knew that humans are stronger part of this alliance, there is no need for yet another prove.

Its a 1.4 sec scene from a teaser trailer. we really have no idea what is happening at this point. Neither do we know if he does in fact die.

TurboMMaster wrote:And all these ships are there because?

I don't know. Maybe we should watch the movie and find out.

TurboMMaster wrote:How good old and new Decepticon leader could be, if he can't even stand a chance against Optimus? What good all these upregades are, if he can't do what he already did so many time before?

Again, you have no clear shot of this scene, don't know what leads up to it, neither do we have confirmation that this is in fact Galvatron. And if it is, again, we don't know what happens.

TurboMMaster wrote:And that would be something worth to watch If Grimlock is so weak, what is the point of riding on him anyway?

Again, you just don't know. For all we know Grimlock could Own Optimus in a fight up to him bitch slapping him. Based on his "grunt" right before the bitch slap, it sounded like he "Optimus" had had enough. Do i know this for a fact? No. Just a speculation. I understand your speculating as well. But the one thing that everyone has to come to the realization of is that we just don't know at this point.
I remember after the DOTM trailer where Shockwave stood over the driller and pumped his gun, EVERYONE was certain that he was standing over a dead driller. Turned out that was not the case. Give it a chance.

Hasbro confirmed that it's Galvatron at Toy Fair.

flamewars, nothing but flamewars (flame=laser quote: Wreck Gar)

Totally love the trailer or extended teaser. I'm soooo going to enjoy this movie.
Good times ahead for this Transformers fan!

Thats one bad ass chick. Wish we had more like that in miami.

SlyTF1 wrote:-There's never much hope for any Decepticon.

Remember that Megatron had conquered Cybertron, and almost had won a final victory in mission city (and thanks to Titan Magazine and Video Games, he actually made it!). How good old and new Decepticon leader could be, if he can't even stand a chance against Optimus? What good all these upregades are, if he can't do what he already did so many time before?

SlyTF1 wrote:-He's awesome enough to warrant Optimus Prime getting pissed at him. What, you expect him to win in a fight against Optimus? If he did, he would kill Optimus.

And that would be something worth to watch If Grimlock is so weak, what is the point of riding on him anyway?

I fail to see how you can determine that an entire movie is forced from about 10 seconds of a trailer.

Because there are Transformers in it. Almost every last cartoon had humans in it. Why should the movies be any different?

There is no alliance anymore. They're exterminating the Autobots.

Ships =/= Decepticons. And no one complained in TFP, where almost every single Decepticon was a random vehicon.

Megatron didn't conquer Cybertron. If anything, he was the one who ran it into the ground.

Optimus has always been smarter and stringer (maybe not in terms of brute strength)than Grimlock. Why do you think Grimlock follows him even when he doesn't want to? And why not ride him? An Autobot on a giant Dinobot will always be more effective than a single Autobot.

Mehhh she looked better when she was younger.

Yes, you are correct sir. What i meant was we don't know if the bot under Optimus when he gets blasted in the trailer.

That's been analyzed as well with screen captures, and determined that it is indeed Galvatron. I didn't do it, just saw it. It's in the thread with the Super Bowl trailer. Which might be this one. Not sure.

Well she's sure spunky...

You might in 24 years, if she retires and moved to Miami.

I would go to Burn's Facebook and pluck one of his profile pictures for you, but 1) I'm lazy, and 2) I wouldn't do that without his permission.

...Or would I?

Haha, nice. Bitchin' indeed!

Maybe this Prime's Shield isn't ordinary peace of metal, yet one of the few McGuffins in the movie? a Skyboom Shield perhaps?

About girl, yeah, she is hot, and also far more natural than Megan Fox, and that is a huge improvement (at least if we speak about ordinary peoples). But again: It's like every action movie have hot chicks since ever, so it's kinda hard to discuss...

SlyTF1 wrote:Megatron didn't conquer Cybertron. If anything, he was the one who ran it into the ground.

Well, it was said few time during the first trilogy, that Cybertron is now ruled by Decepticons and Optimus failed to secure the Allspark. Also, we can see Cybertron in Reign of Starscream and it was estabilished, that the planet is ruled by Decepticons and Autobot are almost going to extinct.

TurboMMaster wrote:Maybe this Prime's Shield isn't ordinary peace of metal, yet one of the few McGuffins in the movie? a Skyboom Shield perhaps?

Sentinel Shield.

Burn wrote:The lovely white spot I have on my goatee these days is bitchin'!

So was I the only one who was thinking of something...inappropriate?

Sabrblade wrote:Sentinel Shield

Is this proven or conjecture by you?

Anyway, considering this is the new movie thread, and I am somewhat of a short bus rider, I came up with an idea. In the trailer when Grimlock charges Optimus right before getting unceremoniously bitch slapped, he reminded me of BW Megatron charging the same way, especially in the 2nd part of the show's pilot. My idea is, what if Megatron survived DoTM and our resident bad guy, Attinger, is keeping him alive in some basement somewhere, much like Dr. Sumak did in Animated. Now, what if Grimlock gets captured by Attinger's men somehow, and gets either killed or has his brain (cerebral cortex, whatever) removed and replaced with Megatron's. And the "Grimlock" we see in the trailer charging Prime is actually Megatron, in a T-Rex body. BW fans, rejoice. All that would be missing is David Kaye's voice.

BTW, do we have a confirmed list of voice actors for AoE yet? It would be a shame if Gregg Berger didn't voice Grimlock, given that Bay didn't screw this up and just made the Dinobots non-speaking mindless monsters.

It's what the toy calls it.



Though, strangely, the Movie Generations Leader toy has its shield called the "Vector Shield".



Either one of these is a name change or Optimus has two shields (which wouldn't be surprising since both of them look different from each other).

And Grimlock fans despair (that their beloved T-Rex is nothing more than a puppet for Megs).

We know Peter Cullen is Optimus and... that's it.

Great idea, I like it! Megatron could also "posses" some of Attinger's computers and use bad guys network to rebuild his damaged body...

And that how Galvatron was born!

Sadly, I don't expect that AOE plot would be THAT complicated

And Sentinel Shield could be a Skyboom Shield, that is called Sentinel because it was one part of former autobot leader's equipment
