Thank you! You just explained point #1 on why designs don't matter.

For the most part, they've got the personalities down. Prime is still Prime, Starscream still hates Megatron (And vice versa), Bumblebee is just as he always was.

I think the only difference is that Megatron hates the humans even more than in the cartoon. He even refuses to speak their language.

Also, Scorpinok being a drone, but is that really that bad? (Answer: No)

You really think I'm out of tricks? We'll see about that.

A couple of reasons:

1. The writers publically annouced each TF in the movie, and their personalities.

2. Script leaks.

Oh, really? Bumblebee is a mute, and in the script, he acts like Shia's friggin dog. Megatron is a vampire. Ironhide considers killing Sam's parents. Do you really believe that Bay&Co are telling the truth about Starscream? They could be saying that he still hates Megatron, but doesn't show it in the movie. After all, he wants to save Megatron. Are these the same personality traits we grew to love? No.

1. They had to make some changes.

2. Bumblebee was always Spike's bitch. Have you ever seen G1? And in any case, being mute isn't a personality trait.

3. Remember Beast Machines? Megatron ate sparks there, too. And don't pull that "That's not the same Megatron" bull on me, either. Movie Megs isn't that same. The writer's are allowed to take from any souce, it's their choice.

4. Ironhide was always a badass. Now, with a PG-13 rating, they can turn that badassness into something bigger.

5. Now you're assuming. I need to read the script, so can someone PM me a copy? But I'm quite sure the writer's wouldn't straight out lie to us.

6. Like I said, they had to change some things. Nothing can be an exact carbon copy, and if it was, this movie would fail.

1. They had to make some changes.

Not all changes were needed. Prime didn't need flames. Megatron didn't need to be a vampire. Bumblebee didn't need to be a mute. There could've been decent human faces(Jazz looks like Freddy Kruger, therefore, he doesn't count), Human hands, etc...; Bay just wanted another alien invasion movie.

2. Bumblebee was always Spike's bitch. Have you ever seen G1? And in any case, being mute isn't a personality trait.

No, BB was Spike's friend. Movie BB moves his car doors like dog ears. BB was a chatter box, now he is a mute. It does count as a personality trait.

3. Remember Beast Machines? Megatron ate sparks there, too. And don't pull that "That's not the same Megatron" bull on me, either. Movie Megs isn't that same. The writer's are allowed to take from any souce, it's their choice.

No, BM Megs captured sparks and stored them. The writers pulled the vampire thing out of their asses.

4. Ironhide was always a badass. Now, with a PG-13 rating, they can turn that badassness into something bigger.

How does killing people equal badass? If I killed your parents, would you call me badass?

5. Now you're assuming. I need to read the script, so can someone PM me a copy? But I'm quite sure the writer's wouldn't straight out lie to us.

I don't have the script on my computer, but movie Starscream only says one or two sentences. When he does, it's in "alien language". The subtitle shows that he says something to the effect of "At your command, Lord Megatron." Plus, Starscream is trying to rescue Megatron. When has he ever done that?

6. Like I said, they had to change some things. Nothing can be an exact carbon copy, and if it was, this movie would fail.

No one wanted a carbon copy. We wanted a movie which updated the original show in a proper way. Ex: Alternator-like designs, Megatron a tank, same or close to personalities, more serious story, etc..; Instead, we got a mindless alien monster invasion movie with second-rate acting and no respect to the source material.

Does it really matter? It's not made to appeal to actual Transformers fans. It's made to appeal to the masses, which, whether you like it or not, both A) outnumber us 100:1, and B) aren't into the same **** as us.

The Bible wrote:God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.


(It's the former, no the latter)

Yes, but when the Holy biscuit is multiplied, you don't want to eat it. Though, it might just go good with fish........

I never said that. When you resort to falsifying my words, it shows what kind of person you really are.

#-o

Okay 2 points I want to address

1.) Not to be mean Bluebullet, it was a joke he was not putting words in your mouth, a mean one and if you want an explaination pm me.

2.) Guys please let's not resort to personal attacks on each other. We do not want to hurt anyone's feeling and start a flame war that will end badly for everyone involved.

Please carry on back on topic.

Yeah, because how would you know. All you seem to do is scan the threads to find where Shadowman is bashing someone who took an opposing side on an issue and begin personal negative attacks to that person with no knowledge of the original issue.

Hotrod, I'm quite surprised that a mod simply brushes aside what just happened. I, for one, am getting tired of seeing these two making immature bashes against people who have valid factual opposition to them on a valid TF issue.

And, I'm pretty sure that the two of them are going to start bashing me over what I just written and I say go ahead. Prove what you are and what you do to posters who merely state facts and their opinions.

Some of those heads look horrible, he was probably basig them of predator face, wich was also horrible ;)
But im guessing that they wanted to make Decepticons look scarry, im wondering how it wil be with their personalities, are cockroaches really worst human enemies he(director) could think about?

Anyway, AFAIK they are chaning their apperence all the time, optimus had a bit different head in first shots, jazz probably too... maybe we will see more changes in future, or maybe those faces are going to fit well to movie? But what movie? Bayformers of course!
