Ok we seem to have a lot of angery people on the forums that dislike/hate the movies.I wanna know how you would have made a better movie?Keep in mind there are some rules.This would be a idea you would have to pitch to Hasbro/movie studio so your more trying to impress them.So your never getting a R rating and it has to work for a general audience and children.You make to deep a story you lose them and thats who buys most the tickets.Its always nice to put a few nods to fans as long as it doesnt disturb the story.I just want a general idea of what would make the perfect movie with those guide lines I mentioned.Would they look just like the G1 toys?More complex?What would be the plot?There will always be humans in the story so why would they be involved/relationship?I'm really interested in hearing some of your ideas.

As a fan I could not possibly make the movies better because I have absoloutely no experience in writing or directing movies.

And i'm sure the majority of fans are like me.
Let's see how fast this one degenerates.

Two things:
1. Insert Unicron
2. cast Myself to act in it

Well this is like my ultimate off the top of my head list including things some may consider nick picky (as they worship the ground Micheal Bay walks on but I think everyone else might agree with some of these)

Granted this is all if I was inside Micheal Bays head while he was creating the movies and I would magical appear with a gun to his head so he would obey me speak.. And with me knowing the knowledge of the future that WOULD of been (aka how the movies are now)

Develop the Autobots and Decepticons characters a little bit more ..atlest SOME of them

Never ever add in Skids and Mudflap ..I mean comic relief is good but.. Yeah it still surprises me to this day that someone sat down, looked over the concept of these two and said "Oh yeah great characters." I mean sure maybe a gangsta wanna be would of been funny.. But two is too much.

I'd cut back on the raciest stereotype humor

Remove robo balls

Would of forced the people writing my comic to stay in touch with me to prevent continuity errors

Would of have someone check for continuity errors in my script

I also would of have someone checking the Toyline to see if someone I was about to add was somehow already added as a repaint of a toy from a previous line (in the case of Jolt)

Decepticon heads wouldn't all look robot spiders (in other words an attempt to be more distinguished from one another)

Would of used a different design for bumble bees head

Oh and give Scorpinok a far better robot mode (however I love the scorpion mode because of how cute he looks :3)

"Arcee sisters" previous designs from pre revenge of the fallen

Less wheel feet in general I mean Revenge of the fallen had like 5 or 6 characters with wheel feet

I toally agree with you.I don't think I could either.Can a hard core fan really write a script that would apeal to a wide audience?I think a fan would be to worried about the little details that could lose a general audience.

Only with some minor improvements:
- cut the budget cuts with re-used character models - they are very noticable, and make a B-movie out of a blockbuster - in Star Wars, even the minorest aliens were identifiable, and that made the movies' universe much bigger. Reusing Blackouts, the constructicons, and Brawls model 3 times? That's just cheap.
- cut the toilet humour. Simple humour is good, but no joking with robo-testicles or parents that look like they are on drugs even if they aren't.
- NO American Army AD during battles.

I think what makes a good comic doesn't necessarily make a good movie. Movies have to be marketable. If it was to appeal just to fans I would say hire the main character to be somebody who actually loves transformers not a hollywood star with a pretty face.
