I figured it was a model they would use for reference when doing the CGI (It's not like they built actual full scale working robots for the film). I like the Alternators line, so this isn't a bad start.

I like how the flames on his truck will represent the flames that will occur throughout the world wide web. Optimus is not "hip", okay. He's a by-the-books leader. That's what makes him cool. Not a stupid decal. I'm mixed on this. Most amazing jew boots |
Your image is gone. I'll give you 1 guess why. Please host image on imageshack (the image was removed from Aintitcool by Paramount) and then post it here in spoiler tags (so Paramount can't find us!).
How ya doing, buddy? [ MOBIUS ] |
They worked faster than I thought. If it turns up again, I'll be sure to host it.

I saw the trailer for this movie the night I went to see Pirates of the Carribbean. The teaser looked absolutely excellent, and the entire audience was on the edge of collective its seat, right to where the deceptacon slashed at the Mars rover as the announcer told us "This was the only warning we ever got."
Immediately afterwards, the transformers logo flashed proudly acrossed the screen. The theatre ERUPTED (phoosh!) With laughter. That's the thing about this movie, it's going to have a hard time being taken seriously, but it could really go either way. There's nowhere I can't reach.
Can I have a dollar?

Fails for trying to look badass but isn't. I don't accept anything but fire-engine red. And maybe some blue.

Yeah... things really aren't pretty at all now at the Transformers forums
It's been announced that Bay should be making a response to this leaked picture soon......... So we're waiting......... But fuck, there's not a whole lot that he can say... How does intend to spin THIS bullshit ;_____________; Massively heartbroken doesn't even begin to cover this. Most amazing jew boots |
That can't be Prime, especially when there's this:
(Why go to the trouble of perfectly replicating G1 Prime in full scale and not even use it?) Everyone knows that G1 Prime is a red flatnose semi, and nothing else. Since this movie is supposed to be G1, then that can't be Prime. Either it's some other Transformer, or its not even from the movie. It could be part of some disinformation campaign to throw us off. The USAF has posted a video on the set: http://www.af.mil/shared/media/av/main.html?showid=1229 Did he say it takes place in the middle east? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? [ MOBIUS ]

The movie follows a few different story lines all at once from the perspective of humans
One is the story of Sam / Spike taking place in a small/medium town. Another will revolve around a troop unit in the middle east and their first encounter with decepticons there (namely Scorponok) Another will focus on "Project Iceman"... An accidental discovery of a Transformer/Decepticon (?Possible megatron) frozen in ice somewhere in the Arctic circle. And finally, there is one that focuses on the government and government code-breakers trying to either decipher a garbled message, or possible an extension of the Project Iceman story. Somewhere this will also include the secretary of state (Jon Voight) As the story progresses, their invidiual story arcs will converge into one for the finale. So, yeah, based on that premise, it sounds like a well-written scripts... Just too bad it seems like it's being cheapened unecessarily. Anyway, I'll let you know what Bay says when he finally emerges Oh... and that flatnose truck was taken at the Comic-Con a year ago, before the movie was officially greenlit, and before Bay was officially brought on board ;____; It seems things have changed drastically since. The movie is becoming less and less G1... or indeed less and less Transformers Right now, it looks like the movie will be a good movie about robots that transform.... However, it probably won't be a good Transformers movie ;_____; FELIPE NO

Isn't there supposed to be an iPod and 360 in the movie? I don't think they're trying to replicate G1 as much as they're trying to update it. That might include making a more "zomg badass" Prime. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

While Bay hasnt himself appeared yet, the long-nose truck portion of it has definitely been confirmed... And the flames will be appearing in some context. No idea what. Let's just hope that this is only on the vehicle that Prime scans, and that he at least retains his G1 colour scheme
Anyway, still waiting on Bay... I'm getting tired of waiting, and fed-up with feeling disappointed There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I wouldn't doubt they're keeping total secrecy as to not disappoint the fans before they sit down in their seats.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I fucking hate this thread.
All I see is whining over the fact that Optimus Prime isn't the same truck as he was in the original series. Throw in a buch of waah over the fact that it doesn't exactly replicate a television show made for children. Who the fuck cares? It's a movie. It's supposed to be an alternate interpretation of Transformers. If I wanted fucking G1, I would buy the season DVDs.

In taking a pre-existing franchise and adapting it to cinema, the tried and tested successful method involves finding what worked in the original franchise to make the series popular, what aspects were the heart and soul of the piece, and then taking those elements and using them to build a faithful adaptation. Yes, changes are necessary, and so long as they are done in good taste there are no problems. However, when you have changes that are made to the detriment of the core of the franchise (in this case, anti-characterstic flame design on Prime, which is totally contradictory to his personality), then problems are encountered. More examples? X-men had many changes. The suits were thankfully changed. However, the main characters retained their basic characteristics and overall look. In contrast, Catwoman shit all over the franchise. A complete change in costume and character that looked awful, a poorly written script that was the chaotic product of too many scriptwriters being involved... A script which had no real common link back to source material. Which one succeeded and which one failed? >___>; I was speaking idiomatically. |
Lawl at "appealed to generations over two decades". No. It's just the same robot fags that haven't grown up. When I was young, kids cared about Optimus Primal. Kids now care about Armada, Energon, and Cybertron's Optimus Prime, not some guy from a shitty '80s cartoon.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
The actual PROBLEM here (and listen very carefully, sparky, so that you don't make more of an ass of yourself than you already have) are the motherfucking FLAMES. On a decepticon whose character is arrogant and hotheaded, these flames would look great. However, they don't suit Prime at all, and are completely contradictory to his character and leadership style (no matter WHICH arm of the Transformers you franchise you look at, old or new). FELIPE NO |
You're still overreacting on the basis of your preconceived notions of a fictional character in a '80s cartoon. It's a piece of fiction that you and a mass of thirty-year-old children are getting too personal with. While we're on this point, the "THE FANS THE FANS THE FANS" shit doesn't work on me because the great majority of them are fucking retards who still haven't gotten over the fact that Transformers is primarily for children. You can't really expect me to give a shit about their opinion.
The insults don't work if you're trying too hard, by the way. "Maw of stupidity that is your mouth" No. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

I'm not sure how the presence of previous retarded whining makes the whining over flames on a truck any less retarded.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
A) Trolling B) Too stupid to comprehend anything but low-brow insults C) Too thick-skulled to listen to what people are actually saying, but instead clouded by your overriding ignorant stereotype and perceptions. I would point out once again that you're an ass, but you're already doing a good enough job on your own. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Is that really the best you can do? "u dum troll bigot!" =/

It's called making an observation.
You came here armed with nothing but your stereotypical dogmatic view of a what a "fanboy" is, and an oversized ego, and decided to start by hurling abuse. In your eyes there exist only two extremes - The general public and the thirty-something fanboy purists who live in their mother's basement. You consistently show that your goal is forum-bash. Your arguements consist of returning back to your dogmatic perception of the fanboy rather than face the reality of what is being said. Hence, A), B), and C) above. *shrugs* I was speaking idiomatically. |
