Oh...****...

Unless, of course, you meant that the whole like...the Twins got more screen time/character development than Chicken-legs, in which case, yeah.

HK, mock not the Dorito!

Yeah, actually, that's what I meant. He's an iconic character, who's helped shaped the storyline of many a series. Yet, in the first film he had 2 lines, and in the second, he was a babysitter and he acted like he had a bad chewing tobacco habit. Total waste of a good character. Rivals with the total waste of Devastator and the name Jetfire.

And yes, he is a Dorito. Nacho cheese. Seriously, his robot mode design sucks.

Hey hey, it's been two years. Aren't we supposed to have forgotten that we didn't like ROTF and pretend our complaints are invalid?

Seriously though, I just stopped by to post a toy haul and felt morally obligated to share this story:

Saw the Adjustment Bureau today with my girlfriend and a trailer for DOTM came up. The couple behind us was heard to remark that this one "will hopefully be better than the last one," that ROTF was "too confusing" and "hard to follow along with because it was so blurry and stuff," and that they "didn't even know they [the Transformers] were aliens" because "things were really badly explained," and that a movie about giant robots "shouldn't have so many people in it."
Clearly, if they we unclear that the TFs are aliens, it is probably safe to say they were not long time TF fans, but mayhaps were rather part of that 'target audience' that is used to cry basement dweller at those who dare not love ROTF. And obviously, their opinion means nothing because ROTF is the greatest film ever, but it caused me a chuckle.

Adjustment Bureau was so-so.

But the real trialors for DOTM with Chicago and stuff, those look good to me.

no idea what point you are trying to make their, but the transformers are alien, in both senses

they are not like us

they are not of this world

When I'm talking about Starscream, I am talking about both films. He was pretty much worthless in both of them.

I don't think that this statement is quite true.

In 2007 movie he blasted the Hoover Dam's generators, blew Bumblebee legless and Ironhide on his arse, then he shot the slag out off Ratchet 'n Ironhide, blew down a Military helicopter and took on a squadron of F-22 Raptors. Plus he managed to survive. And all that in the little time he got.

Hmm, those are good points. I forgot about the aerial battle, Bee's legs, as well as him disabling Hoover Dam so Megatron could be freed. The other stuff is forgettable. But as far as any kind of friction between he and Megatron, it wasn't even mentionable. Megatron insulted him in the first film and smacked him with his own arm and stepped on him in RoTF. I think Starscream might have gotten one insult in, but that was it. I hope they play up their friction in DoTM, it was always entertaining. And I hope Starscream gets blown away like he did in 1986.

If you are referring to me, I suggest you read my post better.

As a follower of the franchise for 25 years, I am well aware that they are aliens. It was the "target audience" behind us that professed to not being informed of that from the movie. 'Cause the movies aren't meant for us fans, you know, but for everyone else in the world.

I was also being sarcastic, if that helps at all.
