Wouldn't it have been better if Michael Bay had use more computer animation to design the transformers? They would have look more like sentinent beings than just machines?

Weapon: Whiplash Cutlass
How much more computer animation could they possibly have used?

The vehicles themselve CG? That would be lame and unnecessary.

They had to use animatronics for the human interaction. It wouldn't have looked real otherwise.

So no, it would not have been better. CG is awesome when used right. It's horrible and stupid in the wrong hands.
Buy my RiD toys! They're awesome, I promise!!!!

Opinions on this statement:

*hits dead horse*

Michael Bay didn't design the robots, ILM did.

They DO look like sentient beings. Have you even looked at Bumblebee's eyes? One guy said he was almost brought to tears because ILM animated the emotion in BB's eyes so well (at the part where Sector Seven takes him away).

They ARE machines. The robots are ALIEN ROBOTS. Do you know anything about Transformers?
