A little late to the party is an understatement...

Look, it's Transformers the movie. Not Transformers G1, it's just Transformers. It's not supposed to be G1, so get over it.

Maybe Michael Bay doesn't like Optimus Prime. From what I've learned since coming to this site if you don't like someone you "flame" them. :P

Did you know that Bumblebee is yellow? I can't believe they made Bumblebee yellow. Every time I watched TF1 I said to myself....man Bumblebee is yellow!! Then I would turn to my girlfriend and tell her......you know what baby Bumblebee is yellow. She would look me right in the eyes and say back....Wow..Bumblebee is yellow. Lemons and bananas are really good for you. I think I should eat more fruits.

Hey Ionholm Prime do you think I should eat more fruits?
There is no excuse for TF3 to not be done properly!!!

In all seriousness, I never got all the uproar about the flames. I've been a fan since the bots came out in the 80's. I saw the picture of his alt mode when it came out and said, "Oh cool, they put flames on him".

@Unicron's Head- Other than at demolition derby's or Cars shows I can't ever recall seeing a semi with flames on the highway, and I commute from New Orleans to Baton Rouge a whole lot (which is a common route for most semi's transporting along the southern belt...


Where I work is in an industrial park, I see semi's 12 to 13 hours a day. And I've seen quite a few with flames. As a matter a fact, not too long ago, I had seen a Peterbuilt that was a very similar model to what Prime was in the movie, but it was black with silver ghost flames. Looked awesome, woulda snapped a pic, but my camera phone is on the fritz.

I do think it depends on who owns said semi. The ones I see with custom paint jobs(and I do see alot of 'em) seem to be owner/operator riggs. Company riggs tend not to have any real custom paint jobs, outside of very minimal pint striping, and company logos.

I happen to think he looks rather dashing with those flames. Most impressive, I'd say.
