Dude that was freakin sweet man. The next TF series need to look like that. There needs to be a universe series. All done in CGI like that clip.

This video I just can't get enough of!

The only thing I don't like about it is that there isn't more of it!

Terrific, I mean, just terrific. Megatron's helmet was a little too round for my tastes, but still, this is a very good representation of the duo's greatest battle in G1 history. You know what would be absolutely amazing though, if the entire movie was updated like this. Am I wrong?

Michael Bay, EAT this!

This video is dedicated to anyone who has yet to accept that the live action film was nothing more than a big old stinking pile of turd!

OH PRIMUS THAT WAS AMAZING. I would pay so much money to see a CGI movie of transformers - disparaging remark about Michael Bay deleted.

SO AMAZING I had my eyes as big as they've ever been in my life.

They so need to re do the whole G1 series like that, movie and all

Re: New CGI Video of G1 Megatron vs Prime on Official TF Universe Site (617449)
Posted by Powermaster Jazz on January 29th, 2008 @ 6:31pm CST

I would definitely buy a DVD of a movie like that. I loved Bay's movie, but I need my G1 fix.

All was great except for Megatron's head! Comon! That was near perfection! I'd pay $9 to see a movie like this, not like that Bayformers stuff.

Sweet. If that was a wallpaper, I'd have it on my desktop right now.

They were always real to me.

Hey, maybe if the writers stike goes on long enough, they'll update all of G1 in CGI?

Maybe in another 25 years.

Thats what I been saying but everyone keeps telling me "No we gotta do this new crap cause it's better"

To which all I can do is thank this for being some of the best evidence ever for my belief.

And yet we were all told be Paramount, Hasbro and Bay that G1 designs do not hold up well in 3d.

I think we were lied to.

It feels like I waited forever, an "eternity" if you will, just to see a small portion on G1 redone in 3D. That was always something a buddy of mine and I would talk about a few years back. "How cool would it be to see an episode of G1 redone like Beast Wars and dubbed over with the old G1 sound tracks?"

Thank you Hasbro, that made my shitty day all better.

I think I asked for this a long time back. JUst take the G1 cartoon series audio and replace the video with good modern CG animation. Looks wonderful! Now Hasbro, do the entire pilot of the 1984 series in this style!

Sick! I'd love to see THE Transformers movie re-done like that. A CGI Transformers tv show would be awesome if it looked like that. Boo Animated! Hooray CGI!....and beer!

first, i see the classics 2.0 prototypes.

now, i see this.

can my morning get more awesome than this?

god, i'm just speechless...

:shock:

and what's that? 32 seconds of pure awesome CGI? that looks waaayyy cooler than the bay movie! (and for the record, i did enjoy the movie)

Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant! :APPLAUSE:

Now we just need the good ol' "I can't deal with that now" and we'll have ourselves a movie! Someone should show THIS to Michael Bay... B-)

That was awesome!

For a tiny window on my computer that was great!
Though I doubt it would work on the Big Screen. And even if it did, people would still complain about it.

No wonder Hollywood is out of ideas... people can not accept change. :roll:

That video was FANTASTIC! Man, if the movie last year had been even remotely similar to that, I could not have been any happier. Beautiful, altogether beautiful.

Hmmm ... just read everybody else's comments now and I'd really like to point out something:

There are more than 40 comments regarding this clip and EVERY SINGLE ONE IS POSITIVE.

We have heard a million times about how us TF fans can't agree on anything. We do nothing but fight.

But, look at this. We ALL agreed. It has happened. This, for me, is one of my favorite moments as a TF fan. I REALLY think the movie executives should take note. If they had done something like this, we ALL would have been out there in droves. We ALL would have promoted the movie to everyone we know like you wouldn't have believed. We ALL would have gone to see it at least a dozen times each.

It really would have been amazing beyond my wildest imagination if they had done it. It's really to sad to imagination what COULD have been.

I want a video game like that. Those are some slick graphics too.

Man....as watchable as the movie was....if they could have cleaned up the CG a bit more...ILM quality...maybe added a bit more complicated transformations but still had these as the end result....a live action movie would have been so much cooler. That was just so frikin awsome!!

Anybody who says realistic "blocky" robots don't work in real life after this is honestly just fooling themselves....& trying to convince others to fool themselves.

That was incredible.

And I agree with everyone else here who says this is how the TF movie should have looked. I demand a G1 CGI series!!!

Posted by shortround on January 30th, 2008 @ 12:15am CST

Now that is how transformers the movie should have been done none of that alien robot crap that we had to sit through. I hope hasbro is consider doing some sort of dvd release along with some of the wave 1 figures that expands on this concept.

Nothing compares to that G1 vid, that's was really too amazing and too short! Yes, I do love it better than the Bay movie, too bad thoug, it will never be like that short clip.

Posted by Oilspill on January 30th, 2008 @ 12:25am CST

First Classics Wave 1 previews, and now a CGI fight scene from the original TF movie.... I think I just had a g1-gasm!

That was awesome! Must. Watch. Again!
