Nightbird looks like a Star Wars villain.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who has an allergy towards ALL the human faces they have nowadays?
Wheeljack wearing glasses, some old robots having moustaches or beards etc??
Come on... since when do machines need these crazy human stuff on their face?
It's been going on since like Transformers Prime I believe... all these cute faces and such.
It takes away the essence of robots in my opinion, totally ruined it for me ever since.

Actually...it's being going on since G1
both Alpha Trion and Scourge are rocking beards and moustaches. We've had almost 40 years of designs so I'm not surprised to see them exploring more in this space.

Well, these bots are able to alter themselves as they see fit. Why not let them change their appearance at will?
"I'm tired of the lighty things on the side of my face when I talk...Imma go with something different for a change" (concentrates hard...face changes)
If only it were that easy for all of us. Having someone else do it (plastic surgery) doesn't always end well...(Madonna)

There should be a scene in future media where a Transformer does a head swap without the need of a Headmaster partner.

Yup! That's just prime!
My reasoning is that if they can reformat themselves at will (see TF4 with Prime rescanning and changing on the road), why not facial features?

I believe this confirms that during the delay, Paramount/SkyDance did use thte time to upgrade the CGI.

Interesting. Hope they invested significant time in script rewrites and the character development.

Not a chance, if we go by the director's previous remarks. It's gonna be hot garbage on screen.Fortress_Maximus wrote:Interesting. Hope they invested significant time in script rewrites and the character development.

I'm just conditioned to have low expectations when it comes to the live action stuff. It's definitely been more miss than hit. Add to it what I've read so far regarding the story, and this thing is DOA. It'll probably look good though. But like the saying goes, it's gonna be all sizzle, no steak.First-Aid wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Not a chance, if we go by the director's previous remarks.

I guess I'm less picky. I enjoy everything new. And I'm not a big fan of expectations with any movies. I don't want the movies to conform to anything, like canon or whatnot. I just want to have fun.
Incidentally, the new D and D movie was a HUGE pile of fun. They NAILED it. It actually felt like my old gaming groups, right down to ridiculous plans that either work despite everyone's worst effort or they fail spectacularly. Plus there was a fat dragon. That was awesome.

Even the following when each of them were first new?First-Aid wrote:I guess I'm less picky. I enjoy everything new.
- Beast Machines
- The Energon cartoon
- Kiss Players
- The Combiner Wars cartoon
- The Titans Return cartoon
- The Power of the Primes cartoon
- The Siege cartoon

Actually, yeah. I had fun with all of them. Yes, there were some that I enjoyed less (Energon), and I did not get into the Kiss Players at all. I have not seen the Earthspark cartoon yet...waiting to "rent" the DVD; not shelling out for ANOTHER flippin streaming service. Maybe I'm easily amused, but the more new there is, the more I like it. That's probably why I'm so burned out on G1 Redux and Generations and continuously re-doing those characters. It's cool to see those figures again, but they keep redoing the same core characters (not just Prime and Megs). The movies are completely different takes, which is refreshing. I enjoy that.

To each his/her own. I'm glad you're getting enjoyment out of new product along with probably millions of others, otherwise the franchise would lose steam and get less funding from and attention by Hasbro. For every 1 fan like me, there are probably 10 like you, so I'm not worried. I'll just try to get interested in the next project. Just because IMO the new movie will be a steaming pile of ape excrement, doesn't mean the next project (whether it be a show, comic, movie or toyline) won't be good.

Would have happened if more people had liked and accepted Beast Machines just the way it was, instead of whining and claiming that it "ruined Beast Wars FOREVER!!"First-Aid wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:To each his/her own.
