He has changed a bit during the years eh?
It seems there is a new style of toys comin' out with this movie and they feel that in 2006, it's time for a more spacey alien-look.
No more blocky refridgerator-look like we had on the Formers in our childhood!
Imagine though, if HR Giger were to design the new Transformers!
He ain't THAT different though is he?

no way I thing it would look great if he magically shrunk down to gun size when he transformed so someone else could weild him.
the only reason megatron was a gun is because that is the only japanese toy hasbro could find that was roughly the same size as optimus prime. it is not like they are pissing all over sacred transformers canon.

I see no problem with them changing so that megatron now turns into a jet instead of a gun.
What concerns me though is that most of the autobots transform into landbased automobiles while the majority of the decepticons (and now even their beloved leader) can turn into flying vehicles.
From a strategic point of view, i see many more advantages for the decepticons.

That's pretty much the way it always was for the Autobots/Decepticons Kwon.
I could do without the flames all over Optimus Prime, but the Bumblebee I saw looked pretty awesome.
I have less of a problem with Megatron not being a gun than I do with the model they currently have not looking particularly good. Just my humble opinion...

I think they'll probably have to really mess this script up Masters of the Universe (or whatever the live-action He Man movie was... I saw it when I was like 10) style for me not to enjoy it.
I could care less about them "fucking up Megatron", the original Transformers Movie did that well enough.

Well, he has a more streamlined alien look now, which actually makes him look pretty alien (from another planet), and not so blocky like all robots/mechs from human technology were portrayed in the 80's!noel wrote:That's pretty much the way it always was for the Autobots/Decepticons Kwon.

I see no problem, just regard this movie to be in the Ultimate Transformers-Universe!
I would have liked to see that fellow Shockwave in the movie though.
Since he also transformed into a gun back in the day, he could now be a flying saucer instead in the movie!

This is my particular issue too. What he transforms into I could care well. A gun would frankly be stupid in this context(and let's face it a gun was stupid in the original context as well. Even in the BeastWars/Beast Machine versions, he transformed into diff. stuff but at least when you looked at him in robot mode, he still looked like Megatron, kinda like Optimus always looks like Optimus.noel wrote:I have less of a problem with Megatron not being a gun than I do with the model they currently have not looking particularly good.

I usually have no problems adapting to creative visions for a character but this is a complete overhaul of the character to the point where he's no longer recognisable. That's where I feel they went wrong.
Hopefully the whole organic thing works out better in the final product than it does in these production shots.

I kinda liked when Unicron ate Megatron and shit out Galvatron. If he's not a gun, he should be a big goddamn cannon or something.

Surely having a sort of semi-blocky transformer makes more sense. I mean jesus, he must have about a million tiny parts all put together, (all bloody sharp youll note). What about all the joints and cracks!? If he falls into some sand you just know he isnt getting it all out any time soon, itll itch terrbily and score that lovely chrome look he has going on.

I live at near the end of the 210 freeway addition. While it is being extended they have filmed several shows and movies on the part not open to the public yet. I have seen Fear Factor a couple times and some other productions.
This week their has been more vehicles then I have ever seen for production. They shut down a couple of working lanes in the regular freeway to accomodate the production and today I found out it is
TRANSFORMERS
They are blowing up tons of cars on the freeway every day. Starting to attract a nice audience on the overpasses. Have not seen much, but I thought it was a strange coincidence and if you live in So Cal and want to watch just take the 210 to the end of the freeway and you will be able to park go to an overpass and watch.

Sounds like the Autobots are on the losing end then, with all the exploding cars!Tyek wrote: They are blowing up tons of cars on the freeway every day.
