BOOYAH! Anyone else looking forward to this as much as I am? There's a small preview up on the site which basically shows only the fact that the Transformers are coming from/on Mars. It doesn't reveal whether they're actually from the Red Planet or not. That remains to be seen.
From what I've seen, read and heard, this movie is going to stray very far from the cartoons/comics. I'm not worried in the slightest, though. I'm looking forward to it very, very much. I've even made the poster into my background. I know, I sound like a useless fanboy, but I can't help myself.
Full sized picture of the poster can be found here.

superherohype.com posted high resolution pictures of a bunch of Transformers. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Optimus Prime. Bumblebee. Jazz. Ironhide. Megatron. Starscream. Blackout. Frenzy. Ironhide, I reckon, looks fucking awesome... and Frenzy looks like a malformed squid. I also like how it looks like they're going to incorporate the original Jazz's good humour into his new movie counterpart.

@Elijah Awexome pics, and yeah Ironhide looks so cool, though Frenzy looks totally stupid IMO. Blackout looks pretty cool aswell.

@Elijah: Amazing pics... I agree Frenzy looks like a stickman, and blackout is damn cool; But I'm still faithful to Optimus Prime, he's still my favourite.

Fucking. Amazing. Saw it today, and was extremely impressed. It was a mix between the cartoons and the comics, with enough references to the cartoons to keep an ardent fanboy like me satisfied. I won't spoil it for you all, but go and watch it. It's worth it.

Just saw it last night, I will say that it was actually good. I have watched them ever since I was a little kid, and when I saw what the transformers looked like for the movie in the trailers, I was really disappointed. But after watching it, I guess I can accept the fact that they look nothing like the original.

ok so I never was a fan and the preview for the movie to me looked cheesy, but i read afew of your posts, and i thought I'd give it a try. just saw it a couple of hrs ago, and so far for this summer, it is by far the besr movie I have seen!! The action was great, there was an actual "plot" and so many really funny moments, I just could not stop laughing! If you have not seen this one yet, you have to go watch it,, so worth it

Written by Guest on 04.07.2007 at 01:23 I agree, but there's the fanboy in me that wishes it was like the original  . They could've at least used the original transforming sound more

I saw it a few days ago, holy shit it was cool. I'm a nerd when it comes to the original as well, but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless. The only thing I thought was lacking was Megatron turning into a gun. Despite the big differences between the original Transformers and their movie counterparts, it all worked fine and had me really pumped at the end!

Written by Judas on 05.07.2007 at 08:13 Bay felt like that that would be like Darth Vader turning into his lightsaber and having someone else use him to fight. That, and I suppose it was a conscious move in order to market Megatron toys, since the "Classics" Megatron has been removed from shelves(in Australia, at least) due to its likeness to a real gun.

@Woven Elegy: I know a guy who point-blank refuses to see this movie because Prime is too modified and Megatron doesn't turn into a gun. I'm sure if he was nerdy enough to hack Bay's computer, he'd do it! I do like the way he's modified them though, except of course for Megatron becoming a jet...

@Woven Elegy: They auditioned the original voice of Megatron(Frank Welker), but they didn't feel he fit the new Megatron's style, so Hugo Weaving got the part. Welker, however, will be doing Megatron's voice for the upcoming game based on the movie. Saw it for the fourth time today, and I love this movie more and more each time I see it. I'm thinking about watching it yet again tomorrow.

I saw it on friday night. It was ok, not as good as I was hoping. It had a pretty black and white plot, and the romance was definitly not a necesity in the movie. I wouldn't cry if I didn't see it again.

Just got back from seeing it. Damn sweet movie, to say the least. Sam kind of pissed me off at first, but I got over it once the Transformers showed up. I thought the robots themselves were really well done, and looked amazing. This is kind of like THE movie to see on the big-screen, due to the robots size and the sheer amount of action.

Oh my god this is certainly the best movie I've ever seen. It was fuckin amazing. Hell, a couplek tears rolled out of my eyes when Optimus Transformed for the first time. I expected more Optimus, but still it was completely amazing. the animation, the battles, everything. Well, the love story was unnecessary but anyway, it was really nice, and a good way to show new car models (pontiac Solstice, Camaro 2008, GMC Topkick 6500, Saleen Mustang...). I'm gonna see this movie again next week, 'cause it's really amazing.

I didn't think it was that amazing , but it was an ok film. The graphics etc are all very good , but the story was very predictable imo. I still think it's worth seeing .

Written by hanna of steel on 22.07.2007 at 00:50 Yes the story is predictable, the old battle between good and evil. But for all of us geek fanboys was amazing.

I saw it a few weeks ago, but I was reeeeeeeaaaaaaaally drunk and the resolution wasn't too good. It seemed pretty cool though and I'll buy it for sure when it comes out. I was surprised though that they actually had some of the real robots in it; I was expecting Michael Bay to completely fuck things up.
