The Energon Pub

i didnt liked that only when blackout was transforming we heard the sound of when they transform and from there one we heard no more transformation sounds! i really wanted to hear it...thats one.

i thought that we would hear the autobots and decepticons shouting "transform!" but noooooo, they had to cut it!!!!! they dont know how important that is!!!! thats two.

the way megs died wasnt that cool...but i suppose its part of it so that they can make TF2...thats three.

i think thats all, if i come up with more stuff the movie needed ill post again here and if i missed something u guys post here!!!

1) When Ironhide transformed in the final battle, they slowed down the transform sound to make it sound cooler. Anyway, they put it in just to appease the fans. It sounds horribly out-of-place, the clicks and whirrs sound way better.

2) If they shouted "transform," it would be cheesey. Besides, you can SEE them transform, so they don't really need to say "transform" to show that they are transforming.

3) I agree, but they probably did it to show how tough the Decepticons are. The illusion of the Decepticons being stronger would be ruined if the Autobots won by force. And it'll make the final battle next time without the allspark even cooler.

It won't be cheesy to see the Autobots assemble somewhere on the ground, then Prime, after some speech, says "Autobots, transform and roll out!".

If saying "transform" is used in the right situation, it will be very good. And a lot of TF fans will be excited.

Lets see, well things I want that didnt make it in the first movie but need in the sequal.

1. Obviously the original transformation because it sucked that Blackout was the only one who had that sound.

2. Even though I loved Ironhide's darker side I actually want him to show some form of compassion for humanity and get back to his G1 side

3. Bumblebee using his proper voice, even though it was damaged throughout the film and didnt speak till the ending, I would like to hear the rest of his voice.

If the transforming sound was played everytime it would have been annoying, and shouting transform just sounds korny. (thats something i didn't like about the cybertron series)

megatron looked crap as a plane, they could have at least made him a tank its more fitting (or if he had to fly how about a tank/jet triplechanger (zomg, shock, horror )

decepticons died too easily. I say add a warship next time, all autobots against a warship off the coast would be an awesome battle sequence IMHO

I'm fine with one or two occasional "TRANSFORM!" moments, but I'm glad they didn't make it a standard.

In Armada/Energon/Cybertron it almost seemed like the transformations were actually triggered by saying it out loud, just like "Cyber Key Power/Force Chip Ignition!"
Having all TFs announce their next move makes it too much like Power Rangers

Incorrect, you also hear it right before the cellphone transforms.

Optimus Prime issuing an ORDER to Transform = good.

Autobots just saying "Transform!" when they transform is stupid runoff from the anime "shout what you're doing while you do it" garbage. it's like yelling "BRUSH TEETH!" Before putting the paste on the toohbrush.

The idea was for Prime to ISSUE the order to transform.

It would be like watching Voltes V if the bots will announce every move they make.

Or like Pokémon

Imagine the final battle in TF1 went like this

Optimus: "Megatron."
Megatron: "Prime! TRANSFORM!"
(transforms into Jet Mode, charges Prime)

Prime: "Grab Opponent!"
(crash through building together)

Megatron: "FUSION CANNON DEPLOY!"

Prime: "Ion Blaster Equip!"

Both: "FIRE!"

That's what I was pointing out. Having them announce their transformation would be like Pokemón, in which the trainer always shouts out what attack his critter is gonna do next. So to illustrate that, I made Prime and Megatron say their oncoming attack out loud.

Megatron's fusion cannon was deployed, but Optimus stopped him from using it. Remember, it's supposed to carry enough firepower to destroy a small town with one blast. We really don't want Megatron nuking the middle of a city.

What Optimus needs (obviously) is his Trailer. And when I say his trailer, I'm talking about the G1 Optimus Prime trailer. Whether or not he gets a "Roller" with Scorponok-like sentience is beyond me, but it would be cute.

We not only need Jazz back, but complete with his "hoodish" super sound system. We could also add insult to injury and have him use a holographic driver who wears a racing suit similar in color (2 shades of light blue and white) to Jazz's pretender shell.

Bumblebee talking would be good.

In the sequel, I'd like to see 2 of the Autobot race cars -- Smokescreen (or Wheeljack) and Mirage -- disguised as NASCAR stock cars. What makes this a good idea is that the current number scheme on the M&M's #38 is the EXACT typeface as G1 Smokescreen!!! (Going back to my NASCAR reference, I could see Jazz as a Chevy Impala SS (Car of Tomorrow), like the one 'slow-rolling' in the commercial.

On the Decepticon front, 4 words: Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Rumble!!!

It's the JAPANESE way.

What does he "need" his trailer for? It doesn't really serve much of a purpose and there's no way they will use the disappearing trailer trick, which never even made sense to begin with.

I could see the trailer showing up as battle armor, similar to his Power Master/Every Other series, especially given the fact that Megatron was so powerful, and whoever Movie 2 brings in as the main baddie is going to be MORE powerful. And, as you might guess from my sig, I'm ALL for Roller.

I've love to see Soundwave in the movie, and in terms of an alt mode, here's a thought I've not seen before... how about an AWACS? His minions could either form the plane's engines, or be worked into the dish array at the top. But if you're looking for something that fits his communications function, there's a good choice.

I'm actually interested, given the fact the movie hints at a (very difficult to conceive) cover-up, how the government might deal with keeping all the newcomers in line. It might open up a spot for a character like Red Alert, who has to keep tabs on every Autobot on Earth. It could be really interesting.

And, like everyone else, I'm wonder what mega star will come in to play the most essential character in the series, someone who cannot be forgotten... the one, the only... WHEELIE.

i want to see more autobots who can actually hold their own better in a fight, and maybe even dish out some hurt unlike in this one. I mean have them get clobbered also, but show that they can win in a fight through skill and courage. It would make for a much more cinematic ending.

like the film the way it is could use some changes megatron changing to standard mode to battle mode he was in battle mode the entire time of the film and maybe a little less zoom acioton on there heads when thery battling only zoom on there faces when there talking to one another.

transformation sounds i was hapleased with they didnit out use or nothing would have likr to hear it one more time maybe when prime transfomred in the alley for the first time in his truck mode.

have bumblebee talk more in teh sequel woul be good but i will miss that radio comunication scene more they where entertaing.

am i the only one who noticed that megatron use one hand to transform to shoot jazz after jazz falls down from the blast in the last battle you see megatron walking up looking at his right hand it turned into a gun he shot jazz with one hand not that 2 handed cannon weapon.
