Movie and comic differences

Postby Scaleface » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:26 pm

I was making a list of all the differences between the movie and the IDW comic adaption of the movie. Anyone want to add anything to the list?

-The characters of Maggie the codebreaker, Glenn the hacker and Mojo the dog do not appear.
-Sam's parents have a greatly reduced role.
-No jokes about masturbation of urination.
-Mikaela cuts off Frenzy's head with a circular saw, not a reciprocating saw.
-Mikaela comes up with the name "Autobot".
-Jazz runs into the power lines by Sam's house, not Ratchet.
-Frenzy's body is not regenerated by the Allspark; he asks the Decepticons to bring the body so he can re-attach it
-Megatron refers to Optimus as his bother.
-Optimus Prime urges Sam to kill Megatron with the Allspark.
-After the Deception remains are dumped in the Laurentian Abyss, a nuclear device is used to destroy them.

If I remember correctly, Jazz's death is a little different to isn't it? I think his spark is ripped out, he wasn't ripped in two.

Maggie makes one tiny appearance in the helicopter.

Jazz does die by having his spark ripped out. Much more honorable than being ripped in two. But don't get me started on that. :-x

The robots speak with big words, no "what's kicking, *******?" or anything.

Bumblebee is simply chosen by Sam, and didn't have to blow the windows out of the other cars.

Bumblebee is blown in half.
