Has there even been anything filmed yet? A year from now seems too soon for an obviously effects heavy movie.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
(I believe somewhere mid-May) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Yeah, they started filming. TFW2005 has some on-set images up.
The teaser trailer is supposed to be released July 4th this year according to TFW2005. That poster is simply a close-up of the Autobot symbol with an eye behind it. Decepticon variation? Here's some wallpapers: http://www.transformersthemovie.info/ I was speaking idiomatically. [ MOBIUS ]

Principal photography started on 22 May. I'm not quite sure how long filming will take for this movie, but if it's any indication I know that for The Island it took around 84 days.
As for special effects, ILM has been working since pre-production on the CG models for each transformer, so hopefully this will mean that they will be able to focus more on other aspects of the film in post-production. In any case, I think they have plenty of time. Spiderman 3, for example, is still filming (or at least was still filming last time I check last week), and that's slated for a May release. (Oh yeah, one more thing, the Paramounts legal team has scoured the net trying to take down the set pics that were put up, and TFW2005 definitely was one of the sites affected. I know of one site that still has all the set pics up, but I'm not gonna post it here just incase it gets noticed. I've got the pics saved though, so I might upload them in a zip file off-site and then post the link) What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Here's the only one I have. Is it just me, or does the poster have a War of the Worlds vibe going? How ya doing, buddy? [ MOBIUS ] |
It would be awesome to have some dude jump out of a car GTA-style, then have the car transform.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Gigantic dance fights to be expected !
Interest +++ for the upcoming movie. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
"They're breakdance fighting!"

They need to bring Weird Al for one of the sequels for a revisit to the Planet of Junk. It'd totally hurt the movie, but I'd lol pretty good.
I heard they're shooting for a trilogy, with Unicron eventually making an appearance. If this is true, who the fuck can replace Orson Wells? I was speaking idiomatically. |
I kind of like how the Death Star and Galactus are totally retarded, but combined they make the awesome that is Unicron.
Galvatron would totally whoop Silver Surfer's ass, though. In chess. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Anybody remember this?
Which Comic con was this? I thought it was the '05 San Diego, but I might be wrong. Anyway, they were supposed to reveal the whole thing at this years con. Any word on that? FELIPE NO [ MOBIUS ] |
Yeah, that pic was definitely from the San Diego '05 comic con
As for whether they'll do a big reveal at this year's con, I have no idea ^^; I honestly hope they do though, because I just want to know how Prime will look in this movie, and what vehicle he will be. If they get Prime right, it'll boost my confidence in this film immensely (because at the moment, I'm cautiously optimistic ^^; ). What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
If they make Prime anything other than a big rig truck, I have no doubt the movie will fail.
Edit: I'm downloading the old movie from '86, I believe, right now. Will I be missing out on any vital plotpoints if I watch it before the actual show? Jam it back in, in the dark.

If I'm not mistaken, that pic from San Diego Comic con '05 is the official version of Prime's vehicle that will be used in the movie. Judging from all the pictures of it, the shape is spot-on with the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime toy (coolest toy ever hands down period and one of the most accurate G1 Primes ever, even more so than the original toy!). I'm not worried about Prime, the script (from what I've read about it) gives alot of fan service to Prime. He'll be G1 accurate to a tee. It's the other characters we need to worry about. Though I'm not too happy about Camero Bumblebee, I guess I can learn to accept it. It's not too big a flaw I suppose, I mean it's not like they wouldn't have made Bumblebee a VW Bug if VW were willing to give them the rights. Stupid VW. There's nowhere I can't reach. [ MOBIUS ] |
I'm holding out hopes for this. I'm a little disappointed they seem to be changing a number of the vehicles, but as long as they get the soul and spirit of the Transformers right this could rock. I actually thing, for once, Michael Bay is totally the right guy for the film. Bring it.

This movie will be ultimate fail if Optimus Prime isn't played by Cullen.
I was speaking idiomatically. [ MOBIUS ] |
Yeah, I don't know if I could take an Optimus Prime unless it sounds like Optimus Prime, even if that means pitch altering someone else's voice.

Being the fanboy that I am, I've followed this thing fairly closely. Too early to make any judgements, but there are a few rumors (and let us pray they are just that) that have me worried.
1) The possibility that Optimus will not in fact be a semi, but rather a fire truck. If this is to be based off G1, then that's a big no-no. Of course, there will some pyrotechnics going on, as this IS going to about giant robots blowing the shit out of each other, so perhaps the fire truck is there for it's intended purpose. Perhaps some retard saw this and automatically jumped to conclusions. "Zomg, prime is teh ice crem truck!" 2) Okay, this is either total bull, or a guaranteed show-killer. Word is, there may be the possibility of an X-box (maybe 360), an iPod, and a LCD-screen tv doing some transforming. ....Now I know we've all thought it, just a little, the thought of Soundwave being an iPod, but come ON. I mean, maybe it would be okay if, say, Ravage, Frenzy and Lazerbeak were to have these as alt modes, but where would that leave Soundwave/byte(god, no)? An entertainment center? 3) One name that pops up amongst the Decepticon ranks is Devestator. Those familiar with G1 will recall that he's the (original, no less) combiner, composed of the six Constructicons. Though as a mere placeholder for now, the name's been assigned to the tank slated to appear in the movie. Personally, I feel that Devestator should be combiner or bust. By all appearances, there's not going to be any combiners in the movie (likely a treat for the sequel), so are they just using the name as a red herring, or will it actually belong to one of the movie's characters? 4) Same with the police cruiser dubbed Brawl. Placeholder or not, will he be an actual character? G1 Brawl was part of the Combaticon combiner group, as a tank, so the tank role seems logical, though it will more likely go to good ol' Megatron (a tank has been his mode of choice over his various incarnations; even his original mode was a tank, as depicted in the War Within comics). Though if Brawl is going to be an actual character, (and maybe this is skippng a bit prematurely), and if he does end up a tank, will he join up with the other Combaticons in the sequel for an all-out combiner braw..er, melee? 5) The name Scorponok has been mentioned as well. Rumor has it he'll be a rather small character, in the literal sense. As opposed to the titanic G1 city-former. Not saying he should be the size of manhattan, but bigger than an actual scorpion, please. 6) Not a rumor, per se, but rather the dispelling of one. Sad to say, there is no proof of Peter Cullen actually auditioning. Details here: http://www.d13satellite.com/donmurph...threadid=11313 Now, mind you, these are all rumors, and with so many floating around this movie I could be off on some points. And nearly everything I've said regarding said rumors is purely my opinion. You can take or leave it as you please. You can even criticize it. I'm just speaking as someone who's been with the series almost from the outset (born in 1985, how's that for timing?), and as a fan. Not rabid, mind you (you don't see me flaming, and you never will), just knowledgable to the point of obsession. Oh, and this is something I found. Nothing too spectacular, but the closest we have to a trailer, ya? http://www.sendspace.com/file/yhq2kq FELIPE NO
The above statements may or may not be true.

This movie is going to rule. How the fuck can you screw up Transformers? Honestly! Seeings as they're basing it on the G1 series, they must be going for an older audience at least to some degree. As well, even though it didnt go over so well in the theatres, The Island was a great movie. In fact, one of my more memorable movie experiences in the past few years. So Im expecting cool things from this flick.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Lets just hope they don't take too many liberties. I don't see how something can be called generation one transformers if Optimus Prime is a fucking fire engine :P
How ya doing, buddy? |
Not having the classic Optimus/Megatron/Starscream voices would probably do the movie a huge injustice. I'll see how it turns out, but I'm not too optomistic...it is Hollywood...
