But did anyone else find the Dinobots adorable?
I think it's because they didn't talk and remained in their dino modes for the most part, but they came off less like the rebellious bruisers they're usually portrayed as and more like innocent animals. When Lockdown was sucking them up through the air, I was like "No, Slug, grab the wall, kick those little legs!"
Slug is now the cutest Dinobot.Funny you should bring up the Geisters from Brave Exkaiser in relation to the Dinobots since, rather than the AOE Dinobots being based on the Geisters, it was the Geisters who were based on the G1 Dinobots.Moonshot wrote:It looks like the AoE Dinobots are based kinda off Brave Exkaiser show designs.

Horn Geist was based on G1 Slag's toy:
Thunder Geist was based on G1 Sludge's toy:
Armor Geist was based on G1 Snarl's toy:
And Ptera Geist was based on G1 Swoop's toy:
Though, none of them received any toys of their own (bummer), their leader did. Red Geist, who surprisingly was not based on G1 Grimlock's toy, was a straight redeco of Deszaras's toy from Transformers Victory:

It's more likely a coincidence, since the Hasbro guys barely even know about Japanese-only Transformers stuff.

And seeing Bay pass up so many directors is a constant reminder of the shear ignorance of the world. (This is is also the most negative post I've ever had on seibertron.)
I think that's a little harsh. About the ignorance of the world I mean, people have seen this and loved it, getting their money's worth. People see what will interest them.
Sad but true. But I still stand by what I said, harsh or not. I honestly think the only reason I'm so upset is because HTTYD2 isn't doing well financially while TF4 is. Had that not been the case, I probably wouldn't be as riled up. And I'm not even a hardcore Dragons fan.
You are basically say that everyone who has enjoyed the Transformers movies is ignorant.
It's not harsh, it's insulting.
And yet its also insulting to like a movie like Frozen when you ask Disney diehard fans. POV I suppose. Some people just have a hard time conveying their opinions (I am of course referring to myself)
Don't bring up that movie. Seriously. Don't get me started on how much I hate it.

I am, but that's it exactly.Sabrblade wrote:After all, the G1 cartoon was indeed treated as "just another job" by its makers and actors, rather than a serious piece of work for most of them.
I don't think it's fair to say, but it's funny that you bring it up now, because just recently I watched for the first time the interviews with David Wise, Buzz Dixon, and other writers on the Australian DVD set, and I was really impressed with them. They were very much into it, they did put effort and thought into the show, and they even remember details.
"[..] it also worked because the crew that we brought together to do the writing, and the art design, and the story-boarding and whatnot; these were people who really wanted to tell a good story. We did not talk down to our audience, we wrote for ourselves, we wrote: "what's the kind of story I would be interested in seeing on the show." And we realised there were certain limitations, there were certain boundaries that were out there. But within those boundaries there's a lot we can do and we figured: well, since the network is this tiny little thing and syndication is this big thing, lets take advantage of that and explore as much as this territory as we can. It gave us freedom to do different type of stories -- interesting stories. Having as many characters as we had let us have villainous characters who had, you know, slightly virtuous aspects to them; heroic characters who had some rough aspects to them -- in other words: complex characters and complex stories [..]" (Buzz Dixon)
I feel like the show wouldn't have been this good, and wouldn't have inspired so many new series and movies, if the original people involved didn't give a damn.
I also watched an interview with Wally Burr a while back, he also did great as well; it's actually Hasbro that didn't mind. He used to send them samples to approve and they were like "hey, whatever you guys think." (Which is actually a good thing.)
And Floro Dery's designs, I don't think anyone can say he was phoning it in; there's always a lot of thought behind what he does.Sabrblade wrote:Right, and I said that he spoke it in acknowledgement of Prime's declaration, affirming it.
I understand, but Galvatron's response may not have been literal.Sabrblade wrote:One would think, had the movie made an attempt to show his spark somehow restored so that it
could be housed in there. But it never did, as though it forgot to.
Isn't that the red glow in Galvatron's chest?

The movie's phenomenal success in China can be chalked up to three main factors. First, it's important to remember that the franchise was already extremely popular in China. In Summer 2011, Transformers: Dark of the Moon earned over $165 million; in comparison, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides made around $70 million that Summer.
It's not unheard of for a movie's Chinese haul to exceed its U.S. take: recent examples include Pacific Rim, Escape Plan and Need for Speed. For a movie to do it on this scale, though, is truly remarkable.

Since only the former option makes logical sense, let's just assume he meant that rather than asking a borderline confrontational "true-fan"-ish question atop a never-ending powder-keg. Do not prove Boltax right about too much knowledge leading to madness.Sabrblade wrote:Fans of the movie or fans in general?

I'm still putting my thoughts together about the movie to decide how I feel about it.

What? They are literally the exact same toy, only with different decos.

Sabrblade, you got the wrong Geist here. What you're thinking of is Dino Geist, while the unrelated Red Geist appeared two series later, as a piloted mech even.
