Yeah, it looks pretty dodgy so far — have you read the script draft from earlier this year? Basically a film with some alien robots in, nothing particularly ‘TF’ save for the names. ( http://www.simplyscripts.com/t.html )

If you’re into comics at all, I’d suggest IDW’s recent series instead;

…much better than the Dreamwave stuff from a few years ago, IMO.

Sod that, its a film - its make belive - its not real! and that im sorry to say is not prime!

Some of the changes suggested i could take, like megatron turning into a tank instead of a gun. But having some DragonBall Z style prime mixed up with a bit of Queer Eye for the Straight guy is just down right WRONG.

Transfomer Fans.... ROLL OUT!

To be honest Den, im open minded about it, i can stomach that ‘newer’ version of optimus…why?, because i like films that are at least alittle believable, when i was 7 i did’nt have much understanding of mechanics or physics..indeed modern science…now i do.. hence i don’t expect a truck to be able to transform into a robot and look largely like truck components moving.. if a race of robots existed i expect them to be predominantly robots evolved to suit a niche… and as a hindsight something that will blend into our society (why? as they must be more technologically advanced to get here and not be noticed! who cares, but credit me with that little bit of intelligence that knows things get complicated). I don’t want a film that appeals to kids.. they can go play with tinky winky or whatever suits their time.. This ones for us, it should grow as we have.. otherwise go watch the cartoon. the film would be nothing new.

It certainly does seem like they're taking a classic and making a balls-up of it. Is it me or is that the hollywood way?

*desperately tries to think of good examples.

Well there are plenty of examples but none that I've been foolish enough to actually go and see, so I'm not gonna name names.
