My only complaint on the new is that Takara is selling an essentially repainted Voyager OP with a Trailer. I'm not spending over $100 to get a figure I already have just to get a trailer.

Not gonna happen.
You would end up having to hope the property became useless and non profitable to the point where only some small indy company would grab the rights to it and make a movie based soley on Cybertron with no human element whatsoever and the effects would probably be meh at best.
.
Agree 100%. You have to have that human element otherwise these movies wouldn't make a fraction of what they do now at the box office. Let's face it - it's only the most hardcore TF fans who want a movie with just Transformers in it. Not only that but the cost of an entire movie with CGI characters in every scene would cost more to make than is realistically possible.
The human element is what makes the movies interesting. If there wasn't a human element, there would really be no point to it all.
sorry, didn't find Sam's job interview and whining in 3 movies all that interesting personally

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

The human element sells the movie, you can't have an all Transformers movie! Yea, because when I go to see Captain America, the driving force for me will be his wife/boss/friend/cabdriver, anyone but the namesake of the movie.

Pot Bot wrote:actually, you said the movies are bad, and defending them was ridiculous to you but never mind, perhaps there have been the odd cross wires then
The difference with the Lion King, Cars (both films i actually love btw, esecially cars) are childrens films, aimed at children. An action film is totally different, im pretty sure wouldnt work in my opinion. But on another point, over the last 10 years how many action films in your opinion have had a good plot?? TF was never going to be oscar winning for its story, no action film will. Hell, look at things like Die Hard 4, (actually all the die hards, great but flimsy plots) the expendables, the fast and the furious films (cant think of any more with kids screaming round me lol), none of them are exactly well written
Cyber_Tek wrote:I can't think of any action films or action film stars who've won any Oscars. That isn't the point. If you want something with good writing and a good plot, seek out any number of "Chick Flicks". The TF series of movies isn't going to be everyone's favorite, particularly Transformer fanboys, but apparently they are good enough to be box office hits. While that standard may not be important to some, it's the reason movie sequels (and reboots) get made. It keeps the people in the biz working and believe it or not, that's a good thing for those of us who enjoy the movies. Anyone who really hates these movies that much doesn't have to watch them, but that doesn't mean that anyone who does enjoy them is "wrong" in their perspective on liking the films or taking interest in how a reboot may be done.
Cyber_Tek wrote:My point is that most people who are into action movies, probably don't go to see these movies for their writing quality. Either way, it's a mute point because the Movie studio achieved what they wanted with this film- High ticket sales. That's what really matters to the studio. These movies aren't going to please everyone, but obviously a large number of people went to see these movies and it likely wasn't due to great writing. Let's be real. The special effects are what really sells this movie, especially in theaters where it can be seen in 3D.

Agreed on all counts.
