There is more to Transformers than movies, cartoons, comics and toys. Discuss anything else Transformers here.

what should TF2's opening scene be?

Postby irishking44 » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:11 pm

I think they should show some astronauts on the ISS ans see some autobot protoforms (preferably arcee, Tracks, UM, and skyfire and wheeljack ) zoom buy and one of them just saying aww **** not again. then it shows them landing on a special runway in the middle of the desert and ultra magnus says "autobot reinforcements arrived" and then it shows OP standing along side the runway and says "Welcome to earth"

Nah. This is how I would start it off: A small shadowy figure slips into a building in the dark of night. The next morning, as the office workers mill about the office, and the techs and other workers get on with their jobs, the camera pans around the building, pausing briefely on a large portable stereo, centrally located, am MP3 player, and one or two other gadgets arouung the building. When no one is looking, the MP3 transforms into a tiny bird-like robot and flies over to a series of files and begins to photograph them, then signals to one of the other gadgets in another room before transforming back into an MP3 player.The other gadget then becomes a little robotic cat, and slips into a secure area in search of their targets (one a special piece of tech, the other a scientist). Upon locating the targets, it signals to their leader—the stereo—which suddenly transforms and simultaniously grows into this huge 20 foot robot tearing through the ceiling and creating panic as his minions make off with their data and the tech, while Soundwave abducts the scientist and bursts through the wall, meeting up with his minions and their ride, Barricade. Booster X-10 (Laserbeak) and Ravage tranmsform and attach to Soundwave after he transforms back into streo mode and lands inside Barricade as they drive off.

I think the opening scene for TF2 should show a protoform crashing into a natural history museum. It gets up and scares away the night watchman and then turns it's attention towards a huge T-rex skeleton. The protoform then scans it and becomes the Grimlock we all know and love. ;)^

Give me an opening scene with Starscream and his minions gathered around a hologram of Earth planning their return.
No subtitles, just Seibetronian gibberish. Towards the end of the scene a slow pan over to Starscream whose eyes are glowing red.

Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
Here's one:

We see a picture of a large nebula, the camera zooms in and we see a massive spaceship. The Ship is identified as Cityship Trypticon.

The next scene shows the bridge of Trypticon. In the bridge we see Shockwave and a couple of other Decepticons. Shockwave is clearly the commanding officer in this scene.

Then we get some Cybertronian dialogue:

Soundwave: That fool Starscream has reported back commander Shockwave. He informs us that his mission has failed!
Shockwave: Starscream was foolish to run off with only a hand full of troops. His poorly prepared little quest could have only ended in failure. We proceed as originally planned.
Onslaught: Sir! The Autobot cityships are seemingly moving towards Earth. Should we intercept?
Shockwave: There is no need, I already have a plan in motion to deal with Ultra Magnus and Cerebros. We have more pressing matters to deal with.

The scene fades and we see the exterior of Trypticon, 12 protoforms lauch from several ports located on the hull.

Cheesy, I know :P

I'd start it the way I'd have started TF1:

Far away shot of Cybertron, zooming in to the planet's surface, showcasing the faded glory of the now ruined Iacon spires. Quiet peaceful, cold and metallic. Then: Boom! An explosion rocks the screen and we see some TFs taking cover. (make it Magnus or Kup or Grimlock even)
Pan across and zoom out to the nearby battlefield, with hundreds of Autobots and Decepticons charging at each other in both robot and vehicle modes, tearing pieces off each other and generally blowing ish up. One of those in cover (Blaster or someone similar) gets a distress call. A small group gathers around. It's Optimus and his team. They're stranded on some planet called Earth.
The battle rages on behind them, and a huge combiner Decepticon takes out half the Autobot forces, as A squadron of seekers swoop overhead and make the featured robots duck down. Their leader (Magnus, Prowl or whoever) decides that they'll lose this war without Prime, and that their lost comrades must be saved.
Pan and zoom out again, focusing on one of the spires, far less damaged than the others, and then zoom into it, for a close-up of a single glowing yellow eye. Shockwave orders the Decepticons to prepare the shuttles.
And...titles.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

The return of the decepticons! Starscream coming in with reinforcements, meets up with Barricade (maybe). then Starscream says: "Now it's my time to lead the Decepticons!"
and the screen pulls up the Transformers 2 logo. afterwards, the camera concentrates on Optimus.

ok...after the dream works logo, then we see the paramount stars flying to the mountain and when thay surround the mountain, the camera zooms in to the tip and we see optimus prime on his control pad saying something in cybertronian. next shot, we see four protoform meteorites come crashing in the mountain. scene fades to what we think is a snow blizzard but it actually reveals... a rain storm, writing comes up at the bottom saying: marianas trench 3:15pm.
and the camera pans down underwater for about 15 seconds and we start to hear a clicking or something to that effect. We see the sand at the bottom moving beside the lifeless body of megatron. a head pops up, its scorponok, he goes up beside megatron, a weird type of wire comes out of skorponok, and it goes into the back of megatrons head and he downloads his spark in megatron, creating GALVATRON, scene fades to ratchet, ironhide, bumblebee, sam and mikaela.
ironhide: how do you know this will work?
ratchet: trust me, jazz will live again
camaera turns to reveal a giant metallic table in sector seven
simmons: so your sure you dont need our help?
sam: were sure
ratchet: ok i will begin
bumblebee: sam, mikaela, are you sure you want to watch this?
mikaela: its nothing we can't handle
ratchet starts to begin operating, after a montage of rachet operating...
ratchet: ok, set him online
everyone leans in all excited, simmons tells some one to flick the switch, the camera zooms on jazzes optics, they glow blue....

and thats whrere it starts

Not bothered as long as we get a large army of seeker drones.

That Grimlock entry sounds good though and Craggy's post.

Ever see Pee-Wee's Big Adventure? Grimlock could crash next to those giant plastic dinosaurs out in the desert next to the truckstop and scan the t-rex.

Heck, maybe the second wave of Autobots are already here and Large Marge was just a holographic projection that Ultra Magnus did to "have fun" with Pee-Wee :-P

I like this one the best. I'd change the dialouge though to something like this...


Soundwave: Starscream has reported back commander Shockwave. He informs us that his mission has failed.
Shockwave: That fool, he ran off with only a hand full of troops and a plan that was based on luck rather than superior strategy. His poorly prepared little quest could have only ended in failure. We shall proceed as originally planned.
Onslaught: Sir! The Autobot cityships are converging towards Earth's orbit. Should we intercept?
Shockwave: That is a negative Onslaught, I already have a plan in motion to deal with Ultra Magnus and the Autobot reinforcements. We have more pressing matters to deal with....

sigh... I'll throw mine in too. It's how I wanted the first movie to end, but it might make a good intro for the second movie.

Prime is sending out a transmission to all the other Autobots in the galaxy/universe/whatever...

Camera zooms out into space with Prime's message being repeated and ends up at Cybertron in the middle of a huge battle where we see a huge explosion and a large Transformer with one glowing eye. Camera zooms into the eye as the Transformer's head turns toward camera. Eye glows brighter/different color/whatever... Theme music, opening credits, blah-blah-blah.

Oh, for those of you who guessed that the TF was Whirl, you were wrong... it was Shockwave...

Megatron does not need to be a gun. It really never fit him anyway. I'd rather he be a tank, but he'll likely be a jet again, though an earth jet this time.

His infamous "Giant Space Gun" mode. IT would be interesting, but I doubt it considering that he is apparently in the video game, and has a completely different alternate kode.
