Hopfully you'll stay home opening day of the movie. One less person to have to deal with in line.

Ah come on, I don't see how any characters were even ruined in the last two....you can't say Wheelie because he named himself that and was thus not the same Wheelie....plus supposedly everyone hates Wheelie anyways....
I am going to look forward to 3, ShockWave's one of my favorite characters(oddly, after hearing him say just one line in Animated) and since I like the Movie Aesthetic the best it will be cool to see him.
Plus you know, toys.
Now I wonder...will he still be purple?
If only SixShot could make it in....

Well, ROTF Wheelie wasn't really leaps and bounds better than G1 Wheelie. Sure, he didn't rhyme annoyingly all the time, but you know, it's not like he did much better.
As for Shockwave, I think that could be cool, and he'd be an excuse (IF they wanted to stick G1ish with him) to use that lens head that they used for the drone figures of movie #1 that everyone complained about, and then all the Bayverse fans will have something new to complain about when it comes to movie disenters. Can't you just future-read it now? "Shockwave has one eye just like he used to! AHHH!!! But those lenshead drones from the first movie toy line were still terrible!!!"
(G1-er here, and movie #1 toyline lens head fan)
As for Sixshot, I don't know how they could work him into the movies based solely on his having six transformations. Somehow I just can't imagine that working out in a film that's supposed to take a wildly ludicrious situation (Alien robots) and make it realistic. I fully understand the way that that statement sounds, but I just can't see it being considered as a plausible idea. Plus, it would probably end up being the live-action equivalent of G1 Sixshot's appearance in The Rebirth: "Transform once into all of your various modes and then remove yourself from the screen."

zenosaurus_x wrote:Well, I never said Wheelie was awesome, just that he didn't "ruin the character" as GEEWUN had said. I like the lensed drones as well, if ShockWave doesn't have one eye, it will be almost like he just isn't ShockWave.
Also, I know SixShot wouldn't work...but he's just so darn cool!

I think he'll look like the G1 Shockwave...close enough. They got Optimus, Bumblebee (somewhat), Megatron (In ROTF), Jazz, looking like their G1 selves in the real world.

Jazz: he was OK.
Optimus: mouth? flames? Well, at least he was close enough to G2 Laser Prime.
Bumblebee: ...no comment... maybe their helmet shows some similarity, but other than that, no connection in alt. mode or personality.
Megatron: He had at least enough armour compared to the Movie 1 self, but still no proper fusion cannon, and the tiny arm...
After Devastator, the Arcee "triplets" and Starscream, I don't have faith in Bayformers' loyalty to the source materials, but if Shockwave will resemble his old self the very least (like Soundwave or Ravage), I'll be happy.

All they need to do now is find a way to kill off Amos and Andy...er, I mean Mudflap and Skids and I'll be ready to shell out my dinero to see this!
PS: I'm a new guy here! Lifelong tf's fan!
Joshua Vallse wrote:Really though, I liked a majority of the revamps in the first film. The flamed up optimus, Camero Bee, and I will say I liked Megatron more in the first film then the second because both his arms rused together to form the fusion cannon, which was pretty frakken awesome. If they kept the Tank canon visible in the second model from TF2, ala the Leader class toy, I might have not minded the T-Rex arm. But they switched it to the Davey Jones crab claw so...meh.
zenosaurus_x wrote:I must agree, Megatron's fusing arm cannon was awesome and to me, his head design in part one was better.
In part two he wouldn't have been half as bad if he didn't look like a blob....plus his jet mode was more unique to me....
On Devastator, you're right, he is....different....from his old incarnation, but I think the worst part is that they didn't use him well. Why not have him eat Optimus and the soldiers? Instant victory.

Dagon wrote:^Honestly, I think that the G1 thing shouldn't really apply in Devastator's case. Ok, the G1 designs are blocky and too humanoid and all of that stuff, and they're supposed to be aliens. Ok, fine. But the G1 combiners just look mostly silly, just being larger humanoids.
I liked movie Devastator a whole lot. If they do have Superion I think they should keep Superion all feral looking and stuff too.

Ah true, the only reason to me they looked dumb was the faces with mouths, mouthplate faces look better on humanoid combiners to me. Come to think of it, Superion in beast form would look very awesome...

Shockwave with any form of mouth would look weird.
