Jun 5 2009Optimus Prime the Tranforming Truck has Orange Swords
/Film has some new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen stills, and any concerns you might have had that Optimus Prime would not wield giant orange blades should now be alleviated--he's got them. And now my inner child is frustrated in the knowledge that if I'd bought this toy I'd have already broken off the swords and lost them in the couch before finishing this post.

He had these in the first one. They're glowy and orange because they're hot, I guess. He used one to decapitate a Decepticon before.

While this may seem like another bastardization of the franchise, the glowing axes actually did appear in the original cartoon during the 3 part pilot when Optimus fought Megatron on top of a dam.

They remind me of Krato's blades of chaos...

I like the transformers, my favorite being Starscream cause he was such a shit but Optimus is tooooo do gooder.
Like i wanna see this bitch lose his temper on something and fuck it up. Last thing we need is a pope-ish moral compass in a robot.
Plus since they gayed him up with the red flames on a blue truck, I was expecting him to have a redneck accent in the 1st movie. That or spit oil like he was chewin' some tahbaccer. Yewwww doggy

So... these giant alien robots that can morph into GM vehicles (lame attempt at product placement - no wonder the company is going under) spend over half the movie chasing after a couple of puny humans (a boyfriend/girlfriend pairing of an ugly idiot loser with no money and less common sense, and the hottest chick on the planet that likes to move around like a stripper all over motercycles... for some reason) that somehow keep out running them and thier big 'splosions INSTEAD OF JUST STOMPING ON THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SIZE OF A FREAKIN' HOUSE or maybe even taking a HALF SECOND TO PROPERLY AIM their big 'sploding shooting bang bang thingie then maybe, JUST MAYBE, the whole thing would make more sense...

Maybe if Bumblebee transformed into a Toyota or a Honda instead of a Chevy, his voice wouldn't be broken. And if it was, he could get it fixed under warranty. But since he's a Chevy, he's screwed because the company won't exist long enough to keep replacing his sub-par parts. POW! ZING!

we saw both swords in like the first trailer months ago.
got excited - my favorite shot in the first movie is when optimus pulls out the sword (it's just one shot) - saw the trailer and thought, "Cool - sequel - TWO swords!"
and with any other franchise i'd call bullshit, but Optimus is obviously teh man.
but yeah, this is not NEW news in any real way.
