Now THIS is hilarious. I just read thru the ROTF article and i was in tears from laughing so hard.

My brother read it in his Plinkett impression... I laughed hard.

LOL, really? You really need to check your facts before you post. This is just what I been talking about, you sound so ignorant. And you're saying the exact things I been talking about. Dead or dying? :lol:

I can't help but laugh cuz you couldn't be more wrong.

And, really, I go back and watch G1(which I have been doin' with my son lately) and I'd be begging for a plot as "good" as ROTF? WRONG! Hell, go back and watch the season 2 episode "Changing Gears", wonder where the idea for the Solar Harvester came from, hmmmmmmm....... Gotta love this kinda stuff actually, very entertaining, the whole "I have absolutely no facts to back up what I'm saying so I'll bash something else in a nerd rage". Keep 'em coming. :lol:

Yeah, i didn't want to waste time typing a response this moron (moritron), so I ended up re-editing my post twice and counter-arguing with Vulgar_Wraith, since he had theory.

That's why laughed. Just too funny. Publicly known facts from the source vs. blind nerd raging is always funny.

Please,can we all try to respect each other as fellow TF fans. who all share the same love for our TF hobby.

Honestly debatting issues is what these forums are for. but crossing the line & name calling is against the forum rules here.

Can a mod/admin please lock this thread. as it's crossing the line as far as insulting fellow members goes.

Yeah, i hear ya. Its just hard not to when someone that, i feel, is slaughtering source material.

But i agree, at the end of the day, whether you are a bayformer lover or not and whether you are an older or newer TF fan, we all share a love for this intellectual property and therefore all have a hobby in common.

To that end, i really do respect what alot of you guys have to say and i sincerely apologize if ive personally offended anyone.

Sure there are great g1 episodes, but for every good one there's a "the girl who loved powerglide" or the one where seaspray turns into a human and has a near romance with a humanoid. I'm no moron, g1 was nowhere near perfect. Neither are the movies.

I'm no moron, g1 was nowhere near perfect. Neither are the movies. But the cartoons were coming to an end before the movies, and the toylines may have followed. That's all I'm saying now that's the last food you trolls(looking at you vegetcron or whatever) get later haters.

Dude, it's not worth it. Don't get in trouble by stooping to another level. Just let the mods handle it.

Ok, attention...

Any further uncivil discussion will be dealt with officially. Clean it up.

Calling people a "troll" and insulting someone's intelligence in a back-handed way will now get you a warning. Reported posts from this point forward will get you on the train to a board suspension.

He DID introduce Transformers to kids and teens who are probably big fans now, like me XP, and probably to some adults. The way he reimagined Transformers was WAYYYYY different from most (if not all) previous incarnations. These were way more complicated designs for the characters, and some dissapointed fans (well most fans, anyway).
Everyone does have their opinion about the characterand movie, but honestly I thought they were pretty cool, even the character designs.
I'm gonna be pretty sad to see the movies go :-(

If he's so sad, why doesn't he just keep making the movies!? When I go see DOTM tonight, I'm gonna cry when I walk out of the theater. The last Transformers movie ever...by Bay. And that makes me sad. This will be the saddest moment in movie history.

I'm not implying anything, nor am I flaming you or baiting you. But here is what i do know, I hate Micheal Bay as much as I hate Uwe Boll, due to their movie-making and story telling skills.

Thats 2 negatives.

You like Micheal Bay, so my logic dictates that if you can cut past all the hype and just watch a Uwe Boll film, you will like some of them. This could be a positive.

Hes got horror and fantasy titles. Even a sci-fi flick or two. I'm serious though, get passed all the bad things you've ever heard about the guy and try watching one of his movies that sounds interesting to you. He has just as much, if not more, acting talent in his movies than what MB has.

Who knows, you might just find another director that you like.

Michael Bay may direct spectacle fueled action films, but he does a damn good job doing it and gives a damn about his work. Just because his entry into the Transformers series wasn't up to your standard doesn't decrease this fact any less. Uwe Bole, however, is an unforgivable affliction upon the otherwise good name of the film industry who only got into the business to cheat German law to get rich. The fact he's actually trying (and failing) to make "good" films only shows his ego is bigger than his brain.
