Huh. I think Conceptron gets off pissing people. Like Bumblebee. This is a nice change anyway.

For me it started when I saw the helicopter. I was going "Here he comes! Here he comes!". And then when he slowly retracted the blades leading up to that military guy going "Dear God..." I was literally on the edge of my seat! My little sister was squeeing when that happend and I had to tell her to shut up because she was distracting me from watching Blackout unleash holy hell!

Yeah, as I've said, I hated the film. But those transformations and the detail on the robots was RIDICULOUS. Like when you see the cons transform,it's like WOW!

I'm trying to picture that.

Stop that.

I think that scene carried me through the rest of the movie. Somewhere, deep down inside, when he transformed I went 'EEEIIIIIII!!!!' Which is really something, considering I hadn't thought about Transformers at all in YEARS.

Blackout's transformation was totally awesome, mostly because you got to see his full body transforming. If only all transformations were full-body shots and not close-up
Not to say they were bad, but such a close angle of thousands of parts moving, on a big screen no less, it was just a bit busy and unclear.

It made me happy mainly because of the G1 sound effect and because you just knew something cool was gonna happen. I liked it better when Optimus transformed and said "My name is Optimus Prime." Just about everyone in the room turned into drooling 8 year olds, myself including.

i just: holy ****, dude...
my m8 who i went to see the movie with, looked like he was in a trance

too bad Blackout received crotchshots from a human. that really had to be: BURN! for him

yur not crazy at all. i loved that scene and transformation as well. the blackout one just gave me more excitement cuz it was the first one we got to see.

I peed my pants waiting for blackout to transform, and when he did, I had to go home and change my pants(not really though)

I was giggling like a little boy and said, "Oh ****, they're so effin' gonna die!" to my friend.

I probably spent the whole movie in what musta looked like some kind of hypnotic trance, since the entire universe around me ceased to exist and there was nothing but the movie.

Seeing it the second time I was like "He's coming He's coming!!!!!" The whole time he was flying toward the base. As soon as his propellers moved for the first time I almost couldn't contain myself. For me it was just so exciting being the first one, really getting me into the movie. My poor parents, I was all "Blackout! That's BlACKOUT, he's a decepticon and he's going to blow things up!"

I must admit although I am an Autobot supporter through and through, when Blackout first transformed I went all giddy. The moment that actually does it for me (like so many others) is when the Autobots all arrive and transform infront of Sam.

I was giddy like a school girl. And then I thought, "If that was me, there'd be no way he'd catch me. He'd be sliding on the trail of sh@t I left behind me as I'm runnin'".

It was the orignial sound that did me in. The transformation started slow, and then...you heard THE SOUND, and Blackout was alive with moving parts. It ruled.

How can i describe it? It was all perfect. From the point were they first showed him flying over the desert, menacly just patroling the destert,to ultimate destruction. It was great! It started to hit me when they caught him on radar and they dispatched the F-22's and they report back his I D tag number.
"Sir, Y4500 was shot down 3 months ago." (i think that was the number)
That can't be right. Check again"
"i did sir. My freind was on that chopper"

Then he did a fly by the base and the sargent confirmed.
"It is Y4500. Somthings not right." My heart really started going when the sargent says..
"CH-53 pilot, power down and have you men step out, or we will kill you."
At that point i was thinking....
"Buddy, if you only knew "
Then it all started.

This is were it really started for me. When the rotors instantly just froze, lifted up, straighted out, and folded back... I nearly lost.
...And i heard the G1 transformation sound. The icing on the cake!
The shear detail in his full transformation was incredible. I can't think of a better way to open up transformers. That had to be one of the best opening scences out of any movie PERIOD!
