This just in: Michael Bay thinks painted flames make things look faster.
Why couldn't Starscream or Megatron come close to resembling their previous counterparts like Optimus does his namesake? In summation, "because the cartoons look dated and blocky robots wouldn't look realistic. Starscream needed bird legs because humanoid legs wouldn't be ergonomic... ignore the fact that none of the others have bird legs". WTF.

Yup, I credited both of you since I originally found out through clk430r1's email, but noticed Dragonslayer also had a thread up.
What about the "Fans Speak" video that runs right after the interview, is that new? I don't remember seeing that before...

I mean Prime's main color scheme is blue and red right? And the idea that his I dunno what you call them in truck mode but in robot legs are blue. I mean that wouldn't fly well.
He is right that it is dated. Though I do not look down at the G1 cartoon really. I do look down at Voltron cause the characters piss me off so much and it's the same story everytime or the G.I. Joe movie...must I explain myself.
Pretty much. He keeps referring them as "Robots" (which I believed means a mechanical humanoid like thing that has no will on its own) while he should be saying "Transformers" (which are you sentient mechs)Stormrider wrote:After reading so many interviews about Michael Bay I am starting to get the impression that he doesn't get it when it comes to what drives this series.

I guess we will all soon see if Bay destroyed the TransFormers, or did revitelized them to Pop Culture.
I know what you mean. What I meant to say is: Transformers is about sentient robots that are the center of the show. That's whats interesting about them. Hearing Bay call them "robots" just reminds me on how much I disagree about having the movie point of view being that of humans instead of the tranformers. It gives me the bad vibes of having an other "Alien something invades earth! What are we to do?!" kind of movies. Instead of focusing on what made transformers so interesting to begin with, the tranformers themselves.D-340 wrote:Spoon wrote: He keeps referring them as "Robots" (which I believed means a mechanical humanoid like thing that has no will on its own) while he should be saying "Transformers" (which are you sentient mechs)
That's kinda nitpicky, eh? I mean TFs have been refered to as robots since G1. I mean it said on the boxes "Converts from (insert to Alt. mode here) to robot and back". Not to flame or anything, just kinda comes off that way.
