Oct 3 2006Help Drastically Improve Transformers
Aren't you sick of movies communicating someone else's ideas into a coherent story? Don't you wish you could interject random dialogue you thought of without having any prior knowledge of how it would possibly fit in? Thanks to a new contest at Transformers.com, that wish is becoming an ill-conceived reality. Simply type in a line you want to hear Optimus Prime say in the form below, submit, and if yours is chosen you'll get to hear it spoken in Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie.
They're acting like they're judging this on "appropriateness" and "relevance," but I'm thinking if we all band together behind one line, they'll have to listen to our collective voice. And what is the line to funnel our support into? It should be something that really gets to the heart of the character. A line they may have left out that really communicates what Optimus Prime and the Transformers are all about. After a long period of deliberation, I've decided this is that line:
"I guess I'll transformer into a truck now."
(if the form below doesn't work, go here.)
Vote early, vote often, and spread the word.

I want to see a scene where, when Megatron finally unleashes "Dark Prime" (the evil version of Optimus Prime, with a goatee), right before Optimus unleashes the lava from the refractory...he turns his steely eyed glare on Megatron and goes...
"Truck you!"

Personally I'm hoping to promote consistency in my pop culture. Hence my voting for the line:
I'm sick of these mutha f#$%in Decepticons turning into mutha f#$%in planes!

"I'm thinking if we all band together behind one line, they'll have to listen to our collective voice."
Let's all rally behind "I WANT THESE SNAKES OFF THIS MOTHERFUCKIN PLANE!!!!". I'm thinking that if ten billion people voted for that line it would not appear in the movie. But I think it's awesome that you've perceived this contest and prize as an opportunity to create havoc nay anarchy. You may watch stuff but I think you hate stuff.

Obviously the writer of this article missed the point of the contest and that was to get the fans involved further. The studio cannot give out the script and wanted to keep the contest simple so the lines could be integrated into the movie easily and it would have been based soley on the fans knowledge of the characters otehrwise the writer would not have said... "I guess I'll transformer into a truck now." It should have been "I guess I'll transform into a truck now".

Michael Bay is wrecking the original storyline so much. I want Optimus to say, "Megatron transforms into a what? Jesus, who wrote this crap??!"

The article just like the reply is comedy yes but no actual humor.

The only thing that could make this idea more brilliant is if we petitioned for Nick Nolte to say voice this one fantastic line. It will confuse the viewer, yet sexually excite them.
