This is going to be as good at the StarWars Holiday Special isnt it… What a wate!

Shut the fuck up about Transformers already, we all grew out of it when we stopped being 6 year olds.

I guess I disagree with old_gregg. While I may not watch the cartoons anymore, I still care about a remake ripping the soul out of my favorite childhood cartoon.

Sigh.

These designs SUCK. What the hell are they thinking!?!

I predict that within 24 hours of this movies release a few million of you are going to be instantly chagrin you spent a year obsessing over this. Phantom Menace anyone?

*sigh*
Kids.
Do we finally live in a world where it's possible (and if not possible, then accepted) to judge a book by its cover?
How about this. We wait till the movie comes out, read some reviews, weigh the evidence after we've seen it or talked to someone who has, and then say if we like it or not.
Now, do I like the designs of the Transformers so far? Nope. Do I need to recall that the Transformers, while playing an important part of my childhood, were just a mediocre cartoon that didn't explain too much more than "Good guy beats bad guy" and that the Autobots were the good guys? Yes. As far as I'm concerned, Bay just needs to stick to that premise, maintain the personalities of the characters, and he can change whatever the hell else he wants.
It's already been changed before a million times. Armada. Energon. Etc.
Please, people, stop your bitching. It makes others think less of your spoiled ass.
At least we weren't born broke, starving, AIDS infected, degenerate children in a third-world country. Be happy that we live in a country that can spend millions of dollars on a fake piece of cinema just to passify you and all the other sucklings.

Peace.

If they went with the original style designs in a REAL WORLD movie, all the robots would look retarded at best, so now they have to think more realistically toward robot design. If you go in thinking the movie will not fulfill your expectations, you'll save youself the grief. If you STILL have a problem with the movie not fulfilling your every expectation, get off your lazy ass and make a better movie!
...no?
THAN STFU!

Michael Bay has missed the point of Transformers anyway, making them barely more human than typical anime 'mecha'. Folks forget why the transformers stood out in the whole giant-robot cartoon deluge from japan -- they had powerful emotions we could connect with, joy, sadness, greed, rage... this is why the animators gave them such expressive faces. The transformers behave like humans with giant kick-ass robot bodies that can smash the hell out of shit. ;o) From everything that's been leaked so far, they seem to barely be anything other than smart computers with super-shitty looking robot modes. Ho hum. Thanks for dropping the ball Mr. Bay, please retire and quit torturing us.

i don't see why no one likes the new transformer designs. i absolutely hated the original original designs for all the transformers, ESPECIALLY megatron. they were bland, blocky, and incredibly simple. it was like they were built out of massive lego blocks. about 10 of them. in the real world, i giant robot is going to have more detail to him than a giant square block. if nothing else i can say bay is being realistic. but to all you people that want to see robots that look like they came from the medieval ages, more power to ya
