Not a fan of the movie designs, but Mirage looks good. In both modes.

So far, looks like I'm picking up 3 DOTM toys!
Mirage
Shockwave
Leader Ironhide.

That's 3 more than the other 2 films put together.


The rest of the designs, especially Wheeljack, looks like ass.

More Micheal Bay crap

Oh hey there's a TF movie with Race cars in it and Mirage is in it too...Awesome, he's
probably going to look a lot like his G1 self...I mean Sideswipe. He'll look like what Sideswipe should have looked like. That's what I meant to say!

Leadfoot and Wheeljack look like 10 pounds of shat in a 5 pound bag.

Mirage is BADARSE!!!!!!1!!!1!

why is everyone complaining? your all stupid, this isn't G1, and your acting like it's the first time we saw Wheeljack, we have been seeing that head for months, I love it, and come on, G1 had beards that could move like hair

Right.

I don't know why everyone has to complain about anything. If I don't like something, I just accept it and go on, but others seem to think that it's the end of the world. So Optimus has blue flames, Soundwave doesn't sound monotonely computerly like in G1 so Mirage is red instead of blue, but so what? It's the differences between the series that make them so special. If a minor character is an Autobot in one series and a decepticon in another, then it makes both versions of the character special. If all the Transformers series were like the G1, then what would be the point of different series. The characters being exactly the same, only stories changing.

The Transformers don't just transform physically from machines to robots and back, they transform from character to character. That's what they do. They transform.

I think Bay needs to watch or re-watch ALL the G1 series from 84 on up! including the Transformer The movie from 86. Hell, even watch all the Japanese series as well, even though the voice overs are terrible but we get the idea.

This isn't G1, damnit! Bay can do whatever the hell he wants!

i kinda like them keep in mind that its a different universe, they dont have to pay homages to G1. i like that wheeljack looks Einstein ^_^

I don't think it's about G1 anymore. These characters have survived through nearly every iteration of Transformers... RID, Armada, Energon, Cybertron, Alternators, Prime... in the same colors, personalities and head sculpts. It's not just about respecting G1, but about paying attention to 20 some odd years of history and character development and personalities.

Of course, it's a new movie and Bay can do what he wants... but I'm going to shrug it off like it's another "War of the Worlds". The movie bots more in common with the Alien, Bionicle, Predator, Matrix, than the last 20 years of Transformers history and characters. It will still be a fun movie, but there's not a lot of respect for the past.

Anyone remember that line of toys that looked like transparent dinosaur bones that transformed? That's what Shockwave looks like to me.
