If it transforms, I'm going to be freaked out, worried, and excited beyond all mortal recognition!

ok the movie is a lil cheesy and its not all that actually and there is one part that is very very tacky which i guess that part was made for very small children... i donno it was supposed to be funny but it was just stupid and low brow tasteless .....warning warning spoiler below





















Bumblebee after beating down a decepti actually takes a piss yes a piss of oil on the other robot it is in very bad taste and completely out of character.....it short it was just a crude attempt at humor...Bay is a classless hack in my opinion... there are some parts of the movie that will have you scratching your head and if you are a g1 fan or gen Xer my guess is that you will be a lil disappointed and bothered by this transformers movie.

i realize the pics are far so i might just be blind but....it seems like the autobot symbol isnt over the grill? am i right or is it just a light trick or whatever? lol
Re: BotCon News: OPTIMUS PRIME ARRIVES! (189219)
Posted by g2grimmy64 on June 28th, 2007 @ 5:52pm CDT
that on a fallen Decepticon thing sounds more like something Ironhide MIGHT do...might have worked for Cliffjumper if he was in the movie...and BouncyX I think you may be right, I don't see the bot symbol on the grill either...

Its the secondary truck that prime "scans" hence no bot symbol

So the first truck--or any of the other vehicles, for that matter, DO have the 'bot symbol? Doubtful. That's something they add themselves when they reformat.

No I mean it is the truck that prime sees on the road and scans for his form. The earth version that doesnt have a bot symbol.
