Has anyone seen the version of the script that folks believe he used for his adaptation? Does Optimus really explain the introductions that way ?

Being a big G1 fan, I have come to terms with a lot from the way this movie was done, but this would just be such a lame excuse for explaining their names.

I guess we'll have to see if SimFur does it when the comic adaptations come out starting this week.

Motto: "All hail Lord Starscream"
Weapon: Null-Ray Rifle
It also seems to be like that in the comic TPB as well. OPtimus Prime explains the names being derived from earth's vocabulary.

Thats really sad, even for a movie novelization.

I was looking forward to the book, too.

well, the prequel book was a good story, it was horribly written and editted (a 4th grader could have written a better novel). i found several typo's and such within the first 50 pages.
in fact, i've never like the way alan dean foster writes, but he writes good stories.. i guess that would be the correct way to put it

Motto: "Innocent!"
Weapon: Wrist-Launched Heat-Seeking Missiles
Well, after having critical parts of the end battle spoiled for me, I bit the bullet, went out and bought the novel.

Any reservations I have about the movie? Out the window. Especially loved the final scene.

**SPOILERISH REFERENCE BELOW ZOMG***














You know, just KNOW, that Optimus' action at the very end is what is going to come back and bite him in the ass, and shape his regrets for bringing the war to Earth, if there's a sequel.













**END SPOILERISH REFERENCE**


July 3 cannot come fast enough.
