why is everyone complaining about them changing the characters? the Transformers went through so many changes throughout the history of the show and the comics it was hard to remember who was what vehicle and who was still alive, or who came back etc. i mean, the transformers were animals at one point! i dont remember anyone complaining about that, i think its a good idea to add something new to an old franchise…and besides, Camaros are masterpieces of automotive engineering

….if they don’t make BumbleBee a VW Bug they should make him a different small vehicle like a yellow Mini Cooper….that’ll be cool.

#77, the VW (and Porsche) fears of being associated w/ “war toys” Bumblebee and Jazz, applied only to the Alternators toys, not this movie. When both companies discovered the scope of the TF movie (ie Spielberg/Bay megabudget) they realized the value of brand marketing far beyond Hasbro, and quickly changed their tune re involvement with TF.

However, by this point the filmmakers had 1) already decided that a sentient Beetle is too wimpy and Herbie-like (not macho enough for MichaelBay) and 2) were already cemented in their $$$ choice of prod-placement partnership with GM/Ford… So it was the filmmakers who decided to avoid authentic/faithful versions of classic characters.

The filmmakers get a financial piece of all toys from the movie, so it’s to their wallets’ advantage to change away from classic characters, creating unique new versions rather than old Hasbro designs.

Soundwave IS in the movie, but as a boombox who transforms into a small micro-thin menace, speaks only in digital code sounds, and whose only weapons are deadly flying discs.

Cybertron no longer exists – it’s mentioned, but was destroyed in the ancient civil war.

The screenplay focuses mostly on human characters, with minimal personalities/relationships for the robots themselves (example, Starscream is just a generic villain, no particular emotional arc re Megatron, who only shows up late, taunts Optimus into a fight, and is defeated by Sam). The story itself is very reminiscent of 1998’s Godzilla.

Tom DeSanto and Don Murphy were willing to be more faithful to the original classic beloved by fans, but unfortunately they’re not as powerful/influential at the studio level, compared to bigger titans Spielberg/Bay/DiBonaventura, who actually got the project greenlit, contractually obligated to keep DeSanto and Murphy on board yet dismissing their sincere/noble intentions. Such is the frustrating and stressful life of surviving daily struggles in HW.

There is a firetruck autobot, it is not Ooptimus Prime, his name is Inferno. There is an action figure available of him.

I guess it is all about the $… Chevy, do what you got to do to bring back the Camaro… Paint a Chevy yellow and it will look like a yellow VW. Okay, NO! ;.( A fire truck! Steven Spielberg you are trying to hard to pisz us off! Lets take a wild guess at it has something to do with 9/11… You suck!

The transformers can be any type of car. Bumble bee isnt VW specific. Hes a space ship on Cybertron and in some later versions of the toy he was a sports car. Remeber the Cartoon was a means to sell a line of Hasbro Toys….. I think the toy dictates more when it comes to what type of vehicle they transform into rather than the short run cartoon (comapred to how many diff versions of the toy have been produced). And on the same note. Optimus has been a firetruck before….. look it up!

Hey, I am a lifelong fan of TF as well, but I realize that changes need to be made for the movie. I love the new Camaro, so I think that’ very cool. I hope Prime is a beat up semi truck…who knows, if they keep the fire truck, that may end up looking good. We won’t know until next year! I’m excited!

Although I agree that it would be nice to keep Bumblebee as a VW it’s also nice to update the series a little. Has anyone here gone back and watched the cartoon lately? I was a huge transformers fan, and still am, but seriously I can’t even watch the cartoon anymore without thinking how cheesy it is now. I can only imagine what was going through my parents minds when I would get up at 6am on Saturday to start watching all these cartoons…

As a side comment I don’t think that Optimus is going to be a fire truck. At least at Comic-con in San Diego last year they had a huge 18 wheeler painted exactly like Prime all shiny and red sitting in the middle of the floor. I can’t imagine them changing it after all the fans got so excited to see that.

I liked bumblebee, but honestly, if you can’t make him a beetle, why not just say screw it and make it a red camaro and call him hot rod? They’re not that dissimilar character types, but hot rod’s character fits the Camaro more, its not like they’re going to stay 100% to the original series anyway.

1. Keep product placement out of kids movies or even movies in general for that matter. 2 Bumblebee is a VW. If Bay can’t get the licence for the bug then make him a mini, or vibe, matrix or…oh god I can’t believe I’m saying this, an echo. The point is, Bumblebee was the smallest of the Autobots (discounting roller, autobot tapes, headmaster heads and microbots when they came out) and making him a Camaro is just wrong. You want to have a yellow and black camaro? Fine call him Sunstreaker and be done with it. I mean whats next, will Grimlock be leader of the Puppybots? Point 3, OPTIMUS PRIME IS A SEMI not a bloody FIRE TRUCK. Hey Bay, if your going to kill the concept of transformig robots for everyone, just beat up on the Go-Bots franchise and leave the Transformers Universe alone.

At least the F/X are getting better, but, ….
…. so far, Hollywood has botched up more classic stuff than South Park could ever catch up with. With this in mind, the current latest movie … X-men was totally botched! The Phoenix is a mythical “FIRE” creature. In that movie Jean Gray looked like a VAMPIRE, and as Phoenix, she controlled ……. WATER??????? And you faithful Transformer fans are nervous about the movie being botched, accept it, it WILL BE BOTCHED!
But movie-goers will flock to the theaters to pay high amounts of monies to not only get in but consume overly-priced junk food.

Yes, I will be there too, enjoy the movie, yes MOVIE. (the director’s “rendition”)

I can’t stand the front end… to 70s-ish. The front needs to be more flat and mean and not look like it’s smiling. I like the back, she’s got a nice ass… but definately more straight and aggressive 60s front end.

[...] The first teaser trailer for the live action Transformers movie is finally up. Not a whole lot of Autobot/Decepticon goodness, but that’s why it’s called a teaser. The trailer can be found on the movie’s website. (click for trailer) After coming across some photos taken of actual cars from the movie, I’m actually pretty excited about it. I won’t describe the pictures but believe me, they’re worth it. Spoiler Pictures 1 Spoiler Pictures 2 Spoiler Pictures 3 It’s just too bad that we have to wait a year for this one. Hopefully, Michael Bay and crew will do it justice. They also need to cast Peter Cullen for the voice of Optimus Prime. Peter Cullen voiced Prime for the original Transformers cartoon. It would be pretty badass to see a live-action Prime with the “real” Prime’s voice. [...]

I agree with #20. Either present a coherent, reasonable arguement or get off the stage.

The new movie looks cool though, shame about Optimus Prime. Damn firetrucks

If the producers wanted to stay to the original 80s look, like the generation 1, then they would pay dig money to get the endorsements but since they are not smart as to shoot this flick to the fans of transformers since the first air in the 80s they are not going for the endorsements making this flick those for people just looking for a cool action movie. tsk 1st gen was and is the best
