Retro_Link Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Teaser Trailer: According to IGN (when they were shown this teaser at a screening) Bay is FULLY aware he fucked up on the second film and gonna fully deliver on this one. We shall see! Edited December 10, 2010 by Retro_Link
Cube Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 And so he tries to redeem himself by doing an utterly stupid and overdone moon landing conspiracy?
Murr Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Michael Bay talks.... On The Problems With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: "On the second movie we got burned. We had a writers strike, we had to agree on a story in three weeks, and then we knew they were going on strike. It was a [frick]ed scenario all the way around, it wasn’t fair to the writer, it wasn’t fair to me, it wasn’t fair to anybody. It was still an entertaining movie, but I think we failed on certain aspects. What we did with this movie is I think we have a much better script, and we got back to basics. I think there’s some really cool action on this movie, there’s some very cool conspiracy, there’s great robot stuff in this that people were missing in the second one, you’ve got great robot conflict. So I’m excited about this movie." On How The New Movie Will Improve Upon The Mistakes Of The Last One: "It’s more serious. I got rid of the dorky comedy, I mean we’ve got two little characters, that’s it, but the dorkiness is not there. Dork-free Transformers. It’s much more serious. It’s still entertaining, it’s big looking. I think it’s much more compelling, what we did, how we funneled our action, what we’ve got our characters doing, they’ve got a lot more to do. My take on this movie was that I wanted to make the fighting a lot more personal. In the past two movies the cavalry has always came in, this time the cavalry isn’t coming. It’s black hawk down, a small group; they’re [frick]ed. It makes it more intimate." On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Character: "She worked for the English embassy as kind of an assistant. And Sam Witwicky has been dumped, and I’m not going to tell you how they meet." On John Malkovich's Character: "He’s Shia’s boss. Its funny, I was talking to Shia and we were talking about character. He’s like, I was the one who saved the world, and I should be set up. And I’m like, Shia, there’s people who do heroic things all over the country, and they’re not set up, they’re back to their mundane life. And he’s like, no; I’d be working for the government. And I said, well let’s just say you’re not working for the government." On The Chances Of This Being The Last Installment In The Franchise: "There’s a couple of things that are left open. I think you’ll see some finality to this, you know we’ve made it very clear that when things die they die now. They’re not magically being brought back." Source - Comicbookmovie.com
Cube Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 It’s more serious. Shia I see a contradiction. I was talking to Shia and we were talking about character. He’s like, I was the one who saved the world, and I should be set up. And I’m like, Shia, there’s people who do heroic things all over the country, and they’re not set up, they’re back to their mundane life. And he’s like, no; I’d be working for the government. And I said, well let’s just say you’re not working for the government Yes. The person who is pretty much the ambassador for a race of alien machines doesn't get a government job. Instead he goes back to normal life. For once, Shia is completely right.
Ramar Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 In a shit kind of way I enjoyed Transformers 2. But it's pretty obvious the first was better. Apart from the almost Ozzy Osbourne style name, I look forward to this new movie. Interesting to see what rubbish they try to feed us about that robot on the moon, I'll stab someone if it's the decepticon leader.. like they need to introduce a new one every film. Megatron is the boss, leave it at that please.
Pookiablo Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 That robot looks a tiny bit like Unicron but then I thought he's obviously way too small. Who knows, I was so fed up with the second one that I may just give this one a miss entirely.

That robot looks a tiny bit like Unicron but then I thought he's obviously way too small.Shockwave has already been confirmed as the new main enemy for Transformer 3. --- Why's he trying to make the new Transformers in each movie, more and more human looking?... they look stupid!!! He did it with The Fallen and especially with Blackbird(was it?) who was rediculous, and now again with who I'm guessing is Shockwave in this. Also a bit dissapointed because I thought the film was likely to have some Cybertron, but the finale of the film is set in Chicago. Apart from the almost Ozzy Osbourne style name,Do you not mean Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon? Edited December 9, 2010 by Retro_Link
Murr Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Do you not mean Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon? or Bark At The Moon. but yeah i'd say more along the lines of Pink Floyd.
Ramar Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Do you not mean Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon? I wasn't aware of that song, like Murr said I was thinking more "Bark at the moon".
Ten10 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Bah just put Unicron in it and be done with it all. Unicron eats everything everyone dies. Series over. And best of all NO HOTROD.
Ramar Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Bah just put Unicron in it and be done with it all. Unicron eats everything everyone dies. Series over. And best of all NO HOTROD. No no. I don't want them to try and recreate the cartoon movie. However much a bit of Stan Bush would be welcome, they'll only fuck it up. And massive fail on the Hot Rod hate.
Mr_Master_X2 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Is it me, or is it already feeling way too obvious that THE MOON ITSELF will be the conspiracy and it actually is Unicron/whatever that big planet-sized bot is? ...also, do we really need another moon landing conspiracy, especially with APOLLO 18 coming out?
Retro_Link Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 I've just noticed the Transformer at the end (who may or may not be Shockwave) has been blinged up with Gold, innit, Na-Na Nai! Kinda has the same colour scheme as the Apollo spacecraft.
bryanee Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Anyone else think the gold robot could be Alpha Trion Kinda similar.
Jon Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I love Transformers. Yes, the second was shit but it was still Transformers so it was all good too me. I'm a bit anxious about this one and the trailer isn't helping. For a major action movie, it's one of the worst trailers i've ever seen.
James Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Yaaaaaaaaaaaay. Loved both of them to be honest.
lostmario Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I liked it, got me hyped anyway. That aint shockwave though. Shockwave is Purple. PURPLE!!! Alpha Trion possibly
The Bard Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Why is this film being dignified with a thread? Bay is possibly the worst director working in films today, perhaps other than Uwe Boll, but that is entirely debatable, and to heap upon the mountainous pile of feces that is his reputation, we have Transformers, probably one of the worst childrens television programmes ever, designed only as a propagation of and a marketing scheme for janky ass toys. Is anyone genuinely excited for this?
Retro_Link Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 I've nothing against Michael Bay, as he's given me the likes of The Rock, Armageddon, the awesome Bad Boys II and honestly I love the first Transformers! He's had shit films, most of which I haven't seen, and personally I was majorly dissapointed with Transformers 2, but I'm largely looking forward to seeing this film! If only it were done in such a way that I could ignore the 2nd ever existed! Having no '3' in the title is a start, but unfortunately it would be pretty hard to look over Meagtron not being in a trench any more!
ReZourceman Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Is anyone genuinely excited for this? Are you? I'm not sure your opinion is clear.....

The Bard Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I tried watching Beast Wars as a kid and it gave me the cerebral hemmorhage that resulted in my overwhelming sense of rage. Not trying to be holier-than-thou because I loved Dragonball Z as a retarded child, but still, that shit stinks way less than Transformers, which could be considered the fecal equivalent of a hefty Cow pat to DBZ's fairly innocuous Pidgeon drizzle.
