The Energon Pub

Not sure if this in in the right forum, or if it should be in the fanfic forum, but if you could make your own Transformers movies, what would they be like?

My ideal Transformers movies would be a trilogy. The designs would be mostly like G1, but with some influences from the designs from Bay's movies. The designs would be such that if toys were made of them, they would fit in with both Classics styled toys and Movie toys. Here are summaries of what my movies would be:

The first movie would start with a prologue about the history of the Autobots and Decepticons, and how the war between them started. It would then have the Transformers going to Earth. They would scan new vehicle modes and, in the end, there would be a big battle. (I'm not sure what all would happen in that one yet). In the end, Megatron and some of the Decepticons would be killed. Most, but not all, of the Autobots would survive.

The second one would be the darkest of the three, and would introduce more characters on both sides. Near the beginning, The Fallen would escape from an Autobot prison where he was being held, along with other dangerous Decepticons. Megatron would be resurrected, and would kill Optimus.

Some of the Autobots would then take his body back to Cybertron, where they are planning to find Vector Sigma and bring Optimus back to life. Meanwhile, with so few Autobots on Earth, the Decepticons would take over, and would start building some sort of machine (something like the Solar Harvester in ROTF) that would be able to make huge amounts of energy, and might destroy the planet. The movie would end with the Autobots arriving on Cybertron.

The third one would also have new characters. It would start with The Fallen and some Decepticons arriving on Earth. The Fallen would upgrade Megatron into Galvatron. On Cybertron, the Autobots would find Vector Sigma and resurrect Optimus. They would then head to Earth with reinforcements.

There would be a huge battle around the Decepticons' base on Earth. Starscream (who would be partly based on Starscream in Armada, in terms of characterization/personality) would start to lose faith in the Decepticon cause. Although he still wants to take over the Decepticons (as he always has), he starts to sympathize with the humans, and wants the Decepticons to leave them alone. During the battle, Optimus would fight Galvatron. Starscream would join the fight.

Galvatron would deal a (temporarily) crippling blow to Optimus, and would be about to finish him off when Starscream would take the shot for Optimus and fight Galvatron. He would kill Galvatron by trapping him in the Decepticons' machine and blowing it up. He would be killed in the explosion too, however. Optimus would then fight and kill The Fallen. There would be many casualties on both sides in the battle, but they would come to a truce. The Decepticons would agree to leave Earth alone, and they would stop fighting.

I honestly don't think the movies we already have could be made much better. It would just be the same story for the first movie, Autobots come to earth and fight Decepticons.

less focus on humans, less 'army vs. giant alien robots with cmeos by Optimus Prime'

Well, I would say I already have them, except I'd ask for:

1. Less toilet humor

2. Ultra Magnus and Rodimus

Ooh, a project.

Well it would be a trilogy, like you said.

The first movie would include the following 'Bots and 'Cons. (Deaths are marked with a *T*)


Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Ratchet
Huffer *T*
Windcharger *T*
Cliffjumper
Brawn
Prowl


Megatron
Starscream
Soundwave
Rumble
Frenzy *T*
Ravage *T*
Laserbeak
All 6 Original Constructicons
Thundercracker *T*
Skywarp *T*

Plot:
The Autobots come to Earth searching for Energon to fuel their ongoing journey to find the Decepticons, who had recently fleed to an unknown location. Little did they know that the Decepticons were on Earth. When Bumblebee meets a young human named Spike (Jake T. Austin), Optimus realizes (after engaging in a deep battle with the Decepticons) that they cannot leave the planet until the Decepticons are fully defeated.

The Second Movie would include the following 'Bots and 'Cons, following the same rule

Plot
The Decepticons are now looking for a small sphere called the Power Core, which could fuel a machine large enough to destroy the Earth's sun. Meanwhile the Autobots are now protecting Spike (Jake T. Austin) and Carly (Some 16 year old girl...) from Barricade, a Decepticon out to destroy Bumblebee. After the defeat of many of the Decepticons, Optimus Prime now realizes that their new hom is on Earth.

The third movie would be the final installment.

Plot
Optimus Prime is killed by Galvatron and his new Decepticons, however, Ultra Magnus takes over as leader and the Autobots travel to distant worlds where the Decepticons are causing havoc. Spike (Ashton Kutcher) and Carly (Ashley Tisdale) are now married and have a kid, Daniel (Some 14 year old boy), whom stows away on the Autobot Ship. After plenty of Autobots and Decepticons die, and the Autobots make an alliance with the Aerialbots, the Aerialbots soon die to power up Optimus Prime, as he and Galvatron engage in one last final battle.

Thy wall of text is complete >_<

More focus on the robots (yeah, I think we can get away with that now, folks, when every other supporting character in a movie is CGI), less of the human race being able to put up a sufficient fight against the Decepticons (seriously, Megatron's who-knows-how-many eons old - advanced technology or no, he should still have a LITTLE bit of a tactical edge; even General Zod got the job done, and he had even less experience with Earthlings than Superman did), no robot anatomy or leg-humping robots or idiotic comic-relief CGI characters whose most likely offensive aspect is really the fact that they're just not that funny (I didn't hate the Twins...I just didn't care), and, just for a change, I'd like to see a plot that DOESN'T involve yet another conveniently-buried-on-Earth-or-thereabout-for-who-knows-how-long Cybertronian artifact. Just to do something, y'know, different.

Pretty much this for me too. Maybe Unicron if they can do it right.

What we want as individuals will be so different that no movie will ever please everyone.

What i dont want is easier to say than what i want. This is not a criticism of bay, just the things in the movies which i dont enjoy

- goofy comedy. If going for humour, try a drier, more mature version, ala iron man

- Less focus on humans at expense of robots. It seemed to work like this. Action scene with cons and bots, talking scene with humans, action scene with cons and bots, and so on. I would like to see the transformers actually engaging each other in something other than combat. i understand cgi is expensive and some would argue its a waste of money to have them sit around yapping.

- Dont use character names just for sake of it. have them reflect the former characters, or use different names

Mine would be a sequel to DOTM, and would deal with,

Area 51 and the Roswell crash.
Cosmos
Unicron
Dinobots
Galvatron

Don't really have a story yet, may write a fan-fic.

Sequel to Dark of the Moon, set awhile later with Sam and Carly's son (Daniel most likely). Could use the following things from Transformers lore:

-Primus and Unicron
-Quintesons
-Dinobots
-Headmasters/Minicons that don't suck

Also, based on the ending of DotM they could use these for a plot where the unified Autobots and Decepticons, rebuilding their home slowly but surely need mankind's help to fight off the Quintesons who wish to awaken Unicron.

How about a movie based on the exodus book, i think there is sooooo much potential in that book and times around it.

Plus...no human element lol.
