All these damn sword fights in Transformers is kind of like having gunfights in The Hobbit.

Transformers have been carrying around guns for years. It grows tiresome. Swords are much more badass than guns, anyway. What, you want a whole movie with Autobots and Decepticons standing miles away shooting at each other? That would be Transformers: Armada/Energon - The Movie.

That's why I'm glad Animated did away with most of the guns. I'm hoping the movies will start doing that, too. I want up close and personal fights like the forest battle in ROTF or Optimus vs Sentinel in DOTM (short as it was). There's no impact to a fight that happens at a distance; no connection. It feels cheap.
Alright, no weapons at all! Solid hand-to-hand close quarters combat all around!Rated X wrote:SlyTF1 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Fixed.SlyTF1 wrote:Rated X wrote:Not that it doesn't look cool but I'm so sick of swords, axes, shields, spears, etc. Bring back the guns Michael, I beg you !

A whole movie of swordfights...meh. Watch Conan. Don't you see the anti-gun lobby and parents influence here ? If some nutcase runs up in a school with a machete and starts slashing everyone, there wont be anymore sword fights in transformers movies/cartoons. They'll be fighting like Pokémon.

I couldn't disagree more. Just as an example look at Saving Private Ryan. You didn't feel any impact from the combat shown in that movie?

Sword fights have always been my favorite types of fights in movies. But human sword fights =/= giant robot sword fights.

Dudes were getting blown up and having their guts spilling out all over the damn place in that movie. While I would like to see that happen in Transformers, there's just no way they'll go that far. For a story like Transformers, where most characters have fight scenes that play off of each other, a gunfight would do nothing but leave me disappointed. Imagine Optimus and Megatron fighting a war for centuries, and their final battle consists of just shooting at each other and Optimus just gets lucky and blows Megatron's face off a mile away. Nothing happened there, but a gunshot. After all that time, it all ends with a lucky shot. That's cheap. When Optimus rips Megatron's spine out in DOTM, I could feel his anger and desperation. You don't get that with a simple gunshot.

While swords make a battle a little bit more “epic”, was the 1st instalment of Michael Bay’s franchise (with guns) not epic ? It had fight scenes, but it also had some good trigger action as well to balance it out. In Star Wars, light sabers make sense because the characters that actually use them are made of flesh and bone. I would rather watch something that is more likely to happen if it was real, then something that was included just to make it “epic” on the big screen. But that’s just me. A long time ago, Renderform put a survey on his website if fans prefer arming their Transformers with guns or melee weapons. Guns won by a long shot.
