LOL, ok, so I'm wondering if there will be any of the female transformers in the movie. Didn't they have one or two just before the series and toys dried up?

Uhhh... they're robots. Technically sexless. But yeah, I think they were trying to appeal more to young girls right before the series got cancelled... then again, it came back when my baby brother was into cartoons and stuff, and was this whole CGI cartoon thing.

Man, the writing was aweful. But it was pretty awesome CGI.

At least they could shoot in Beats Wars. I've seen Optimus Prime shoot the the seatbelt off of spike from 100 yards while the kid was travelling 60 miles an hour, and then miss Megatron (an 80 foot tall robot) at point blank range while stationary. I hated that.

Yeah, but hopefully this will be a lot better. From what I understand, the guys writing it were into the cartoon as kids (like we were) but now they're grown up, so they wanted a more grown up action movie to be awesome and excited about.

From what I've heard, they actually got what they wanted.

Well, I just hope Meagatron looks good. The alien plane idea just pissed me off.

Would you rather he turned into a 60 foot gun? That'd be really covert.

Nah, I liked the idea of him as a tank better. That made sense. The evil robot leader with a huge gun turning into a massive armored vehicle with a huge gun. What can i say, it made sense.

True that.  I don't know why they can't or aren't making him a tank.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense...

Well, these guys grew up on the same TV that we (or at least I) did, and Megatron wasn't a tank. In fact, Megatron was one of the few who could change into more than one thing- he could be this futuristic jet-fighter (I didn't know what a F18 was back then) or this gun that the other decepticons could hold.

At least it was better than the transformer who turned into a cassette tape.

wait, I don't remember megatron transforming into anything other than a gun that soundwave would shoot with. But it was a long time ago...

Your point isn't exaclty valid, Kid_Vid. Whenever a new transformers series started, they always reworked the characters and then stuck in Optimus Prime and Megatron to fit the setting. Megatron was a gun in the original (and if an 80' robot can become a small hand gun, then why can't a cassette tape become a 7' tall robot?) then he was melted down and turened into Galvatron in the movie and futuristic series that followed it. In that incarnation he was a huge cannon. In Beast Wars he was a T-Rex whose head became his main cannon and in Energon he was a massive tank.

So let's no mince words here, he has always been a a character with a huge main weapon. Turning him into a jet is just stupid. How many jets do you see with a massive main gun? None. Well, maybe the A-10, but you can only fire the main gun for 3 seconds or it slows the plane down. The point being, if htey had to rework the transformers to adhere to the Law of Conservation of Mass, then why not a tank? A plane needs to be streamlined, and one with a cannon like Megatron usually has in just not feasible.
