I have high hopes for it. I hope they just are able to portray his speak design. Make me believe he is quick and smooth.

I gotta defend starwarrior1227 on his comment. I think what he is trying to say is that the thin balding hair and glasses on Wheeljack were going way too far. It just looked dumb. If the G1 cartoon makers made a character that looked like that in 1886 the kids would have crucified him. It took years for me to accept Wreck-gar, Scourge, and Unicron wearing goatees.

My beef with Que was he looked like this:

Dude ! Spoilerr lol xD.

Oh and another one... G1 wasnt release on 1886 >.>...G1 was release like 90 years AFTER that.

Nice to see the Internet Tough Guys out in force in this thread.

Hope the figures look nice. I'm not sure I'll get Dino, but definitely will get Que(barring him being an utterly ass figure).

C'mon guys. We're better than this. It's not worth warnings and bannings over this stuff.

If you have issues with one another, please don't subject the rest of us to it. PMs or email or something. At least there you can tell the person what you really think without repercussions.

Let's get back on track. Please?

Well put.

Well, Nazi's are going to put up with this.

Same here. The movie's been out for how long now? I think we can do away with spoiler tags, if you haven't seen it by now, well that's your own fault.

Spoiler tags? Because I said so. You don't know how awful it is when you've heard that you've ruined someone's potential movie-going experience, in some form or another. So I don't care if you, him, or whoever, doesn't like it, because I'm going to keep doing it. Deal. With. It.

at what point does it stop then? when the movie is done in theaters? a month after the dvd release? it's been out for three weeks already..

i personally don't really mind it. but by this point people who don't want to be spoiled should've already seen it. or shouldn't be looking through movie topic news stories/threads.

Sorry, gotta agree with Blurrz on this one too. Sometimes people just don't get a chance to see movies when they want. It may have been out for 3 weeks, but some people might not have all that great a schedule (kids, 60 hr week job, etc.) There have been occasions where a I haven't had a chance to see a certain movie, yet a buddy of mine has, and wants to tell me EVERYTHING about it.I. myself, don't like that. I'm sure there are others too........

i under stand that. but what i don't understand is why someone who hasn't seen it is clicking through movie news topics. it's my opinion that spoilers should be used up 'til the movie, then not used after its release. if the movie has been released, and i don't want to be spoiled at all, i wouldn't look through any movie related news topics. but like i said, it's not a big deal to me either way.

as for robot faces. who's to say what they would look like? why couldn't they have electric looking hair? who's to say that after a long time their eyes stop working right and they need something similar to glasses to let them see better?

and prime needed to have a mouth. he's the robot who spoke the most. and it's a lot easier for a large audience to understand what someone is saying when they have a mouth. not to mention it helps to portray emotions. it makes sense and was a smart choice.

as for the decepticon faces. i don't get how people don't like them. they look so bad ass it's crazy. not to mention it makes them a bit more distinguishable for people who know nothing about transformers. someone who looks evil usually is. and almost all movies are like that.

i love most if not all of the faces on all of the transformers.

Que's face, while neat, did not fit his body very well. causing it to stand out a little more than it should.

I am still of the opinion that WheelQue accidentally blew most of his facial plating off with various malfunctioning inventions. If he did it frequently enough then why bother replacing it? He could just put on a helmet that would get blown off bu various malfunctioning inventions after a certain point. The "glasses" would help often-injured optics.

If I remember correctly, Que was almost destroyed by Shockwave in one of the prequal comics. Ratchet said he could save him( and Dino) but they may never look the same again. So, maybe that is a possible explanation.

Good theory. I had just thought it was an attempt by the designers to make him look like an old robotic Einstein. Your theory is more fun, though.

Well........ I got those things you mention(60 hrs. a week at work, kids, ect.). I'll even do you one better, single dad raising my 4 year old boy, and I had the chance to see it 3 times, twice with my boy. Just sayin'

In all seriousness, just questioned the need of the tags three weeks after the fact. No need to get all bent outta shape on it.
