TRANSFORMERS Photos of the Bots from the movie

[GatorV]

Wow, this pics are cool, I seriously want to see the movie :D

[Razorwing]

Ironhide looks badass. lol.

[Xerus]

These are awful... theres way too much detail, and a majority of them look like random pieces of metal that somehow formed together.

[ck2k01]

Paramount has another website that has things that will be released at certain times.. they have the dam area where it seems to be the decepticon base.

I am a huge Gen1 fan, but I love these. It's not a Gen1 film, it's a different storyline, and why should they look the same?

Personally, I say they look "alien" which sorta fits.

Hey, at least it's faithful to the TV series. Not like those abominations on page 1.

They should have used the ice skating robot from the Citroen C4 adverts.

too much detail.. i wish they would just do a 3D version of the exact same characters and shapes from the original cartoons

By making them so alien, they lose much of the human capacity they originally had. Looks count. Now they have about as much character as a GoBot.

In my opinion, there's a lot more to being "faithful" to the material than just making the robots look like how you remember.

Guess what, every generation of kids remembers a different set of Transformers.

G1

G2

Armada

Beast Wars

Energon

Cybertron

Not to mention the myriad of Asian anime shows and comic books from any number of countries.

In all honesty, it's not the look of the transformer that makes him what he is. It's his personality. How he acts, how he talks, how he treats the other transformers and humans, etc etc. There are no fewer than a dozen different Primes, just take a look at this image:

But I guarantee the 'character' is what ties all these Primes together.

Old School transformers owners ( Lower school ) will remember the Stickers that changed colour as well on the toys :) .

As Sideshow Mel would say, "TERRRRIBLE!!"

'Tis a sad day for Transformer fans.

Why couldn't they just leave **** alone? So what if Bubblebee is an old VW bug?!?!?

Megatron looks like ...hell I don't know.. You can't even tell what the **** he is supposed to be.

GAH!

If that's true, that it's a sad day for transformers fans, then it's been a "sad day" for the last 19 years. Optimus Prime hasn't looked like G1 Optimus since 1988. Hell, he hasn't even always been a truck. He's also been a firetruck, a gorilla, a bat, a lion, a wooly mammoth, and a car. he's even been a long-nose truck on more than one occasion. And yes, these are all 'canon' (except the car).

Is G1 Prime the "classic"? Of course. But to write off an entire film because he doesn't look like he did 23 years ago is a bit much, no?

Concerning Bumblebee, the official word is that the creators did not want comparisons to a certain other intelligent VW Bug, Herbie the Love Bug. Obviously fans won't make that mistake, but remember...this film isn't just for fans of Transformers, it's for everyone.

I'm as big a fan of Transformers as anyone. The first toy I have any memory of is an original '84 Optimus Prime, and I'm scouring eBay right now, ready to drop $100+ on another one (although probably a re-issue at this point). But I'm also a realist, and I think the Transformers look pretty good. Certainly a hell of a lot better than a lot of the toy lines and cartoons over the last decade or so (Beast Wars excluded, since I liked Beast Wars).

I will agree with you on one point, and that's Megatron. He's a good bit too 'abstract'. I fully understand why having him transform into a Walther P38 isn't a good fit for the film, but I don't get why they chose some futuristic looking stealth fighter. A bit of reading does seem to indicate however that he's been redesigned a bit to give him a helmet (like his G1 counterpart), and one of his arms does change into a scoped cannon (like his G1 counterpart).

would of been cool if they made Megatron at least transform into some type of gun but in proportion to the others.... like a huge CANON or something that can either move around on the ground or be carried by another decepticon.

I heard that VW would not license the VW Bug/Beetle to be a "machine of war".

[sir.speakalot]

I've been a fan since the originals but I have to say that I like majority of transformers in the upcoming movie and how they look. The main issue that I have are the hands on most of them. Some of the decepticons hands/fingers don't even resemble hands. If Optimus and Megatron were to go hand to hand, Optimus wouldn't break a sweet since Megs doesn't have any 'fingers'.

One a side note, has anyone checked out this site. Its pretty cool and the art that is drawn is awesome (in my opinion).

Check out this guy who made a video about how he hates the trailer. LMAO this guy needs to find a girl fast.

some other guy made one dressed as a Jedi lol these guys need to get out more...seriously I'm worried about them. :/

This was always my first suspicion, that the producers simply couldn't get permission from VW to use the Beetle in the movie. It had never been confirmed, so all I know is what the writers said in their Q&A sessions on the official website.

Ok. I made it 1:13 into that first video before shutting it off. The guy's just a whiny idiot. I think the whole asteroid thing is actually a pretty clever way of having the transformers land on earth without any major defensive reaction. If a huge spaceship landed on earth, the sh*t would hit the fan.

[Guyro]

still, they shouldnt have put flames on the side of optimus' truck cab,

but i'll still love the film
