Jan 29 2009Soundwave Won't Play Your Old Tapes

I don't see where sound comes into his design at all.

I would assume it's something like flying faster than the speed of sound

Title made me chuckle. (c: Thanks IWS guy.

Maybe some sort of satelite or something? Really, I'm not too bothered by the change in design. Tape players aren't really modern anymore and the CD player was taken by that annoying thing. And maybe, possibly, this is just his Cybertron form. I remember before the first movie was released, toys'r'us released toys of all the characters in their cybertron forms. I'm just glad that Soundwave will actually be apearing in this movie. Actually, the only thing that's bothering me is how much the head looks like Optimus.

Anywho, it still looks pretty cool. Why get so mad or picky? Certainly when the movie gets released and he's nowhere close to anything that has to do with sound or maybe (and probably most likely) just uses sound-based weapons and thats all there is to it, then start a riot but right now all we have is a toy... that we know nothing about.

While I'm sad to see that Soundwave looks nothing at all like his original form (they could have named him Fragtor and I wouldn't have known that he was based on Soundwave), there's one thing Bay and his "cool experts" better get right: the VOICE. Even if Soundwave were a Salad Shooter in the original series, he would still have been my favorite Decepticon by virtue of his creepy, overly-harmonic vocoded voice.

WTF.
next Michael Bay will make an epic motion picture about the life and times of Stephen Hawking, as played by Halle Berry, it will be an action film set in ancient egypt, and everything will have flames.

This is bullshit, he is a retard, Soundwave plays music, end of fucking story.

Well, Nick, the sound is that of the screaming fanboys who find this to be the worst thing since the Godzilla remake...

This thing sucks.

Should've gotten James Cameron for the first one and this second one. No doubt this will fall flat like part one.

Nothing can justify it so don't make any excuses for it.

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK!!!

Yeah this is fucking gay but someone before me is right...it COULD...which is a big COULD...but could be his cybertron form but I doubt that. I dont know why the fuck they made him some lame flying thing..we have Starscream for that but whatever. Fuck this and fuck micheal cock suckin bay.

A tape player is ridiculous, but at least make him look like soundwave in robot form. All the other transformers so far have at least remotely resembled their robot cartoon selves. This looks not even a fraction like soundwave. and yeah the voice better be good. Probably will be. Optimus and Starscream have been good s far.

Soundwave is awesome. I need me some Ravage, too.

Did you hear that the Dinobots were CONFIRMED to NOT be in the movie, now? That's straight from consultant Simon Furman. That's too bad. Remember the video of Grimlock at the Sector 7 site? http://tinyurl.com/adpsm2

That's dumb. You know it's pretty simple. They came ot earth during the time of the dinosaurs and copied the dinosaur schemes and then when the asteroid hit it buried them. Then, they are awaken somehow for this movie. Man let me be a writer for the movie.

looks like some where right when pointing towards the cybertron version

I love how all you retards complaining about Soundwave being a satellite in his PRE EARTH form know exactly JACK SHIT about Transformers. He;s a communications officer. That doesn't mean he has to be a fucking tape player. Second-of-ly this picture (of the robot mode at least) is like only 3/4 transformed. His chest isn't completely transformed right.

For the idiot saying "Soundwave is a music player, end of story." Really? Do you fucking go out of your way to complain about the 9-odd incarnations of Soundwave who have NOTHING to do with music? Do research, fuckbag.

To the character known as "OptimusPissed": Cry a little more. It makes you look your real age. A 10 year old wishing he was born in the 80s and probably saw the original animated movie once in his life. Get over it. The 80s cartoon was good when you were a kid because you fucking didn't understand anything. Rewatch it, you'll want to shut it off immediately. This is coming from me, a die-hard fan. I bet you wanted to commit suicide when you came up for air from your basement to find out your parents painted the house a different color and sold their 1994 Aerostar fucking mini-van for a more modern vehicle. You hate change because your life didn't pan out waiting 25 years for a movie to come out and it didn't fulfill your erotic fantasies of Arcee fucking the nuts and Bolts of of Rodimus Prime. Grow up and lay off the Bay. He's doing better with this movie than he has with pretty much any of his movies to date (I reserve judgment for Friday the 13th because it looks kinda badass a little). This leads me to my next point.

The guy who said this movie flopped. What fucking country do you live in? Or did it just not occur to you to read papers or figure out how badly this movie kicked the ass off of 99.9% of the movies out that summer? I was non-stop entertained by this and was going in expecting it to be terrible and all about humans. It could do without the serial rapist Anthony Anderson scenes, but what the fuck else do you want? It's a movie with action, hot chicks, and funny scenes that are actually funny. If you didn't laugh, you're a humor snob and probably are the guy that has friends who wonder why the fuck you're angry all the time. Nothing's going to please you. Go get leid, you clown. And I'm not talking about the scary, gay one from the Stephen King novel.

One last thing before the Cock Squad comes in and tries to say something witty or quippy to attempt to ruin my day (I'll just jerk off to it, believe me, if there's one thing that makes me fall in love it's someone being a douche to me). Michael Bay didn't FUCKING DESIGN THE ROBOTS. If you have a nitpick with them, the dude did NOT FUCKING DESIGN THE ROBOTS. Have a chat with ILM or whoever is responsible for concepts. This is not fucking 1985 where robots looked like retextured Tetris monsters ok? Metal doesn't bend to pretend to be skin. These aren't Power Rangers Zords where it's just a dude in a cardboard suit. If you want that, I'm sure there's some fat dude at a convention that would LOVE to help you make a fan film, because we all know you're so filled with ideas and talented enough to pull it together, but don't forget to ask your dad to use the old 8mm camera from fucking -19432234 AD because we also know you hate change. That's why all you do is bitch about things can't change. Though, retrospectively thinking, I wish half the people that bitched about "childhood raping" would have put their efforts into saving Arrested Development, but that's a different battle entirely.

Anywho, I'm gonna go rub one out before I sleep. Enjoy :)

New soundwave is gay. End of story.

Some die hard fans some of you fucks are, for god's sake you guys really thought micheal bay's rendition of transformers was good??

Shit was lame as fuck. Most diluted fucking story line everrr.

Good movies are good story telling. Plain and simple.

Alot of these changes to characters and whatnot would've been avoided if the film would've been made an 80s period piece.

It's just one guy's opinion, I dont expect any of you to agree ofcourse, but I can honestly watch the old shit and I still enjoy it quite a bit.

Lick a dick.

LM

Nice try, Adam, but nothing is THAT bad.

I don't know guys....I mean, playing with a robotic Mecedes Benz Logo could be kinda fun?

You know when the robot transforms into a car its robot form looks a lot like a robot with car doors hanging off of it and things like that. I think some even have steering wheels for eyes. So how can you mess up "it transforms into a spikey shapeless thing." Yeah the non-robot form looks like ass but the robot form should, at least, look like a robot without a bunch of nonsense hanging off of it.

When will these fools learn that people want to see the characters as they remember them? When you go a change the whole look of the "whatever" it loses soo freakin' much of it's once said coolness. Translation - that thing is fugly.
Epic FAIL.

Why buy rights to the Transformers (cartoon) then change everything when you make a feature film? This is why I didn't enjoy Transformers because they weren't really Transformers just a Chevy ad. I hope this doesn't happen with Robotech movie.

/The FAIL is strong with this fillm

*standing applause* I don't normally like angry rants of insults and yelling but, when there is a wall of 95% people doing the same thing only against this movie, its nice to see someone defending it.

It always makes me laugh when someone doesn't like the movie and one of their reasons is "its just an ad." Why do I laugh? Because this is Transformers. One more time: This is a TRANSFORMERS movie. HISTORY LESSON!

Transformers originated in Japan as a line of toys involving robots who change into things... nothing more. A company in america saw this toy and loved the idea but also had an idea to increase sales: a cartoon! So America and Japan team up to deliver a cartoon that sells toys. It was a 30 minute ad.

You are complaining about a movie thats advertising their cars when this movie is based off of a show that was advertising their toys. OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO BE AN ADD! Every movie has some kind of add in it these days. Transformers is really the only movie where it fits.
