    Do my eyes deceive me or is that a transformer with hair? Jesus Bay.




    Damn you are loving your jesus pic. :D


    Not only does it seem to have hair, but look at the eyes. It seems to be designed to look like an old robot wearing glasses.

    Based on the circular scarring on his 'skullcap' it appears he may also have been lobotomized! :eek:

    Checked out Seibertron and found this. Looks a bit more like a proper Shocky.

    Oh dear.... I think I may actually give this one a miss. Damn you Bay!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I hate that stupid face. I was cautiously optimistic based on what little has been seen and then that damn stupid looking face dashes all hope. Ah well, better now than on opening night I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭sprinkles


    I'm now waiting for Bay to make a complete and utter f*ck up of this in such a way that the studio realises that the movie going public won't go see any more of this sh1te and reboot it.

    Christopher Nolan please :)

    Here's the thing, Revenge of the Fallen made an insane amount of money at the box office. Heck, it was second on to Avatar last year. The studios obviously see the formula they have as a winning one and won't change it (despite them saying otherwise) unless ticket sales plumet. Kids absolutely love the franchise in it's current form and lap it up en masse. Simply, it's making too much money for them to significantly change it.

    Don't say that. Thinking about that only makes me sad coz it's not real. :(

    I remember being excited when i heard Spielberg and Zemeckis were meant to be doing a transformers movie before the first one. Damn you Michael Bay!!

    Oh Jesus no. Please let Nolan keep making stuff with a hint of originality, and not get trapped in his own success.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    clearly not satisfied with offensive black stereotypes Bay will be introducing jewish stereotypes into the film.


    Which is what I came to when I looked at that face again and said to myself *think like Bay, think like bay*

    and I saw it

    Its clearly a robot that will embody old jewish man stereotype (as seen in indepedence day)


    either that or its doc brown in robot form and we are about to get the ultimate franchise crossover

    And what about Batman was original? He took a tired old recipe, one that had thought to be beyond redemption and didn't just make a great movie but he's partly responsible for the huge emphasis on comic book adaptations currently around Hollywood because he showed that if they are taken seriously and treated like a real movie rather that a "how many toys can we sell from this" kinda movie then it will return big rewards at the box office.

    That said, I know he'd never do it, and it'll be years and years before Bay's attempts are buried and the franchise rebooted.

    There was already jewish stereotypes in the second one. You not remember the scene with John Toturro in the butcher shop?

    Don't know if Spielberg would do much better after the whole indy 4 fiasco.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    but they were not *robot* jewish stereotypes cause thats where the real charm comes from.

    True that. He's still the main producer on the transformers franchise anyway though right?
