More Transformers

The Transformers are coming back to the theaters in the summer! See this IMDB entry.

Starscream taking over Cybertron and Megatron hasn't completely die yet. Of course they are going to strike earth and the Autobots are here to defend it. Great storyline, and we have seen it before in the great 1986 movie, and that movie had Megatron upgraded as Galvatron, an unstoppable PLANET Unicorn (gosh are you scared that it devoured Moon Base 2?). The old movie even had a new prime as autobot leader, something unthinkably new. Who can stop mourning for the death of Optimus Prime like Daniel? That 1986 story movie is SO RICH that the new movies can't come even close. Is the new movie going to top that?

Starscream didn't have a big role in the last movie, and yikes is he unrecognizable ugly. Well Megatron is ugly too. In the cartoon, there is Shockwave protecting Cybertron too. The new movie should feature some resistance from Decepticons loyal to Megatron.

I'd like see the Dinobots. Grimlock dares to challenge Prime's leadership in old cartoons. How about combiners like Devastator or Defensor. Perhaps the new movies don't have them. They just keep introducing new unknown guys. I say no to Decepticon police cars! The only Decepticon cars should be the Stunticons.

They botched the first live action TF movie real good. The robots looked like junk pieced together. Megatron and Starscream looked awful. Optimus Prime? too junky.

The only thing done right was casting the human leads.

The second movie? I don't have high expectations. The Fallen? That's from the comic book story line and not the cartoon show. You'd think they'd have enough sense to feature favorites like the Dinobots, Devestator, Aerialbots, Combaticons, oh my Predaking.
