I'm excited about this. Yeah, ROTF had maybe too many characters, but I like the idea of flashbacks. I just hope he gets this one out of the gutter and knocks it out of the park.
Yours truly,

All I can say is, they better make this movie good. And it's sad that it's taking 3 moives to, maybe getting right.
And ROTF really wasn't overpopulated. Bay just didn't give enough screen time to the TransFormers. It was all about jokes...that aren't funny. But if Hasbro really is having a say in this movie, then maybe we'll see if TF3 will be good. But really, ROTF could have been much better if it was a TransFormers movie.
I'm a writer so yes, I know you need humans in the film, I agree. But if it's called TransFormers, you need it to be more about TransFormers. And not having scenes that go nowhere. You see, since the TransFormers are already very much like humans, they talk, show emtion, plan, fight, etc... You can get away with a movie like TransFormers with out too many human scenes.

This is great! And Im hoping that Transformers 3 will be considered one of the great movies of the decade, like I hoped the first 2 would. When I first saw ROTF I said to myself "there is no way any one can complain about this movie!" But when I got home and checked the reviews, I was pissed. But I do have to admit, I see where some of these people are coming from, but the good just out weighs the bad in ROTF for me. So, I hope that Transformers 3 will appeal to the critics and the general "know it all" movie goers.

Just so long as the elements of the core mythology actually encompasses the entire mythos as it claims, I'm happy.
I'd be very happy to see more diverse homages. Rampantly homaging G1 gets old for this RiD/UT fan.
So that might stipulate Mini-cons and Haiku.

I hope this is true, part 1 was good but part 2 was lacking, hopefully 3 will be good enough to fill the lack and be even better than part one(and I LOVED part one).
But the overuse of the word "core" seems a bit.....disturbing, seems like they are just using it to make it sound "deep."

My thoughts exactly. The core mythology of the Transformers brand or the core mythology as created by the movieverse? It's really hard to determine much from these statements.

Yeah, I didnt mind the jokes, I actually liked them. I liked the Twins. Wheelie, got on my nerves with the whole humping leg thing and shouting "bitch" every second when he was first introduced, but the only thing that got me mad in ROTF was Simmon's ass and the dogs f*king eachother, other than those 2 one second scenes, I loved ROTF. Its in a 3 way tie with my favorite movie of all time.

Hmmm, Core Mythology, huh?
Whatever that means to them is one thing we will never really know. But, I do know what it isn't. It isn't ROTF. If it was, they wouldn't need to go back to it, would they?
Now, I'm not a fancy, high-class hollywood executive or anything like that, but isn't this something they should have addressed in, I don't know, THE FIRST 5 HOURS OF FEATURE FILM?
Granted, I watch the hell out of both movies... thanks to rifftrax. I wish I could watch them because they were good movies and not because they are easy to laugh at... At, not with.
After dozens of viewings of both, I can say with a clear conscious that I have absolutely no idea what any of the characters motivations are, nor why they interact with each other the way they do. I've been a human my whole life and can't understand the social gymnastics performed on screen by the humans in these films.
Transformers 3: Death of an Intellectual Property will follow the same pattern as the first two films, regardless of any nonsense spewed before hand by its financiers. Isn't this nearly the same thing they said before ROTF came out?
If anything, Bay should just keep doing the same crap he has done this far and keep any established cannon from the cartoons and comics out of it.
To paraphrase the ROTF Rifftrax at the moment of primes death:
Mike: Wow, his death had more emotional resonance in the animated version.
Bill: That's not a sentence you hear very often.

honostly i thought rotf was ok but
it had major falws with the characters
i mean megatron would not bow down to anyone an why the fallen?
and was prime able to beat the crap out of megatron, starscream and grindor?
that just didnt make sense to me cause the first movie megatron and starscream seemed to be way better fighters then prime
but i hope they do focus more on the cybertronians on this movie
and i hope they make the decepticons win cause it would get boring if the autobots win again

Poor Man... deluding himself like that.
What happened to Bay saying he's learned not to listen to fans.
You're already two movies in. It's too late to try to prod Bay to be better. Just let him run the movieverse (deeper) into the ground and we can move on with new franchises.

Wow, the people whose finances depend on people going to see the movie say it'll be good... that means, I should like totally believe them. 
Michael Bay doesn't care about this stuff. All he cares about is making lots of money by catering to the lowest common denominator. He doesn't understand the characters at all, and thinks that as long as you have explosions, wavy camera angles, and the sort of sexual humor that middle school students think up, then people will watch his movie.
The sad thing is--the sales receipts show that he was right.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. So here's my virgin post.
I loved the first two movies, but honestly I was bugged by all the gimmicks in ROTF. There was so much G1 referencing going on even I got lost in alle the matrixes, solar harvester, original TF's and whatnot... I'd like to see where Bay is going with this.
I'm not counting on depth storywise. I don't like Transformers for it's depth.

Batman and Robin made good box office but Joel Schumacher was not invited back due to crapness of the film he delivered, same should happen to Bay, the man is AWFUL and ROTF was just.....UUURRRGH. Get Furman on board for the script and get a director who really IS a fan, not doin it just for the cash.Look at the designs for the cons, yeah, big fans worked on those I must say. Ravage was bout the only Con done right, Soundwave maybe also. Core mythology = apolology for ROTF....AND THEY WONT STICK TO IT.

You do realize that Michael Bay had nothing to do with those characters? It was Kurtzman and Orci that had a lot to play in it. The movies haven't killed anything. They've revitalized a franchise that was becoming unpopular.

My enjoyment of Transformers has nothing to do with whether or not I like Michael Bay. The success of the movies has contributed to Transformers unlike anything else since it's existence. Whether TF3 is badly rated or not, it doesn't matter because it will rack up the big money, much like ROTF did.
In terms of this movie, we've got a fresh start. Go ahead and try to bring down the ship, but Michael Bay will still be the one filming this movie, and whether you like it or not is your opinion.

Hes not a fan, he 'hates' the dinobots and any slick MTV wannabe could puke out what he delivers. If hes stayin on board, and he probably will, I have a few suggestions.... 1.Start to humanise the faces of the bots, this isnt Alien and Bay certainly aint Giger
2.Get rid of the self indulgent design team completely, lets get the bots overall look more G1
3. Get rid of Sams idotic family and girlfriend, lets tell a Transformer story, with a single human perspective.
4.Unicron please.
5.Tell the Shockwave/Dinobot awakening story as a prologue, even throw some Beast wars nods in.
6. Im sure theres more i wanted to put...

I'm a fan (been so since the 80's) and I hate the dinobots. Your point?
I don't like the faces, but I can see where they're coming from. They're aliens, they're not meant to look humanised.
As much as I loved G1, they're not realistic looking. Oh and btw, this is the 21st century, time for updating!
eh, it could probably work.
Or we could NOT re-has the 80's animated movie and *gasp* DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL! (Which is likely to happen now that Hollywood's Un-Original Two-Some aren't onboard)
See, again with the lack of originality here.

Bullshit! I agree with everything after #2 except for the dinobots, but the first 2 are pure unadulturated bullshit. This is NOT G1, its not a G1 movie, we got that 20 somthin years ago. This will never be G1. the robots are freking aliens! They are not supposed to have human faces. Again, G1 is gone, there is no bringing it back, unless they decide to re air it. But other than that, nothing will be G1, nothing is G1, it is a whole new ORIGINAL universe of Transformers, not trying to steal every single G1 reference there is and have people whine about that being "unoriginal"

1.Point is you're in a minority.
I don't like the faces, but I can see where they're coming from. They're aliens, they're not meant to look humanised.
Thats true, but if they can change into cars etc, they could alter their own faces easily.
As much as I loved G1, they're not realistic looking. Oh and btw, this is the 21st century, time for updating!
Says you. I dont mean using the G1 blueprint too rigidly, but reflect it the same way the Alternators line did, they looked great. The G1 designs were iconic, like Spidermans costume or mickey mouse.
eh, it could probably work.
Agreed.
Or we could NOT re-has the 80's animated movie and *gasp* DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL! (Which is likely to happen now that Hollywood's Un-Original Two-Some aren't onboard)
Its a MASSIVE part of the mythology, Sam in dicking around in highschool isnt. If you like that, theres always Highschool musical 1, 2, 3 etc.

Wow....just...wow.
1.NO, they are supposed to be ALIENS, why would they look like us? I loved the old designs but I prefer the new alienistic...(not a word...it should be!) designs.
2.The G1 bots did not look convincing at all, watching a bunch of blocks do the forest fight would've been terrible. Even with the alternators take it just wouldn't look that good...
3.Well....actually you're kinda right here.
4.So...you want it to be the 80's movie? Even if Unicron is important he just doesn't fit with the present movie verse unless it would be in a 4th or 5th movie.
5.I don't see how they'd fit all that well. It'd just confuse viewers more.
I don't know, I just like the movieverse and apparently you don't, if you don't like it then don't watch...easy as that.

Im afraid kittens are gonna be a bit scarce in Bays part of the world. Anyway, how can people be saying G1 BASED designs wont work when they haven't seen them put into practice with modern technology? they didn't give it a chance. Bay will make whatever crap he can put together in 5 minutes and we're supposed to lap it up cos it says Transformers on the tin? Whats the matter with you, ROTF was a turkey, crap beyond crap. Optimus and Bumblebee weren't too bad, but Megatron is Megatron, not a metallic Predator, wheres the 'originality' in that?

Given that both movies amassed so much money at the boxoffice, I think it's safe to say ALL TF fans are in the minority when it comes to the movies.
Not that you actually answered my question.
Or the director wants to show that they are in fact alien and doesn't want them to be humanised.
Iconic yes. But practical? No.
As you said later, no one's seen them used with today's technology. That includes you so how can you say they'll work and that those of us who say they won't are wrong? Face it mate, both sides of the party here have nothing to base their argument on so it's kind of a moot point.
Now this is funny. I love how you completely take my words and twist them into a baseless retort.
In the bigger picture, the scenes of Sam at school are very little compared to the rest of the movie.
As for Unicron being a major part of mythology, maybe so, but I still don't see WHY we need to see a giant transforming planet showing up to eat another planet. There's only so many ways that story can be told.
And is it so bad to want to see something NEW in the mythology? Really?
Lame baseless retorts anyone?
Well he transforms into an alt mode that doesn't require someone else to hold onto him for starters.
He's also a significantly different character from Megatron's original incarnation.
Oh and just because YOU think ROTF was bad doesn't mean you're right. It just means you have your own opinion which I don't necessarily agree with. That doesn't make you right, it doesn't make me right either, it just means we think differently. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Unless someone tries to jam their opinion down my throat because they think theirs is the only opinion that matters. Then we have a problem.

No...you aren't, you're opinion is NOT everyone's, I happen to really like the movie designs, everyone's tastes are different.
This is so very biased....since when has Megatron even looked the same in any continuity? Same general face sure but still Megatron really looks nothing like Predator anyways. Plus the human faces just don't reflect alien at all, and changing the faces 2/3 into the series really wouldn't make sense.
