rock on. I was impressed with TF1 and ROTF should be awesome as well. Took a minute to adjust, but overall it's the movie verse the way it should be...over the top!!!
It's an award that is richly deserved. Love it or hate it, you cannot deny that the live action movie series has brought Transformers more into the mainstream than it has been since the line's creation and turned it into a massive franchise phenomenon with real mainstream appeal. Hopefully it is not the last award for Michael Bay and company either. An academy award or two would be plain perfect.
Can someone post a youtube link for this guy? I love fanboy rants (chadwarden the Ps3 fanboy and that guy who was practically crying because ff13 was no longer ps3 exclusive were two highlights)
Love him or hate him, Michael Bay really did bring TFs onto the cinema screens in a big way! I think he defintely deserves an award for breathing new life into the franchise.
Not trying to be critical of the films or Bay, but every time I hear the "love it or hate it, they made it huge/brought it back" argument, I'm reminded of this (well, the first 2 minutes anyway) Dead is Better - Clips - South Park Studios
Well, nice trophy and all... and so far, nice ... very nice ROTF toys.... but I won't have a final 'judgement' until I've seen ROTF myself.
Okay, not defending that trophy, all they did was take a couple recent Prime toys and glue them in place on a block of wood. Still, it's well deserved.
No, Peter Cullen deserves this award. Just because Mr. Bay brought our favorite robots to the big screen doesn't mean he gets an awrd for anything.
More I think about it. It's just a Japanese award. It's not like he win Best Director in any of those channel awards or Oscar.
It still means he's supremely awesome as far as Transformers goes B) Now if only Marty and Derick would get prizes too... but I guess flopped CN shows ain't qualified.
Saying what you said right now is like how people credit Bob Kane for creating Batman when in reality Bill Finger created it. The guys who created the idea and concept of Transformers deserve it, not the guy who just brought them to the big screen. If Bay got this award, so should the director of first TMNT film who did the same for the Ninja Turtles, not Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
Congratulations Michael Bay.. He deserves it for what he has done to Transformers for the big screen... The trophy looks cool and to have the vintage G1 toy Optimus Prime beside the movie Prime is a nice touch... You guys notice though that the movie Prime "statue" is in fact a TakaraTomy version of ROTF Leader Optimus Prime right? Lol.. Wonder if its removable so Bay can play with it...hahaha
Stop being bitter, this isn't just the big screen, he revived it, he turned 80's nostalgia property into a gigantic blockbuster, he REVIVED it as a mainstream product instead of just badly animated ANIMES that parents have to endure, TMNT movie wasn't as big as bayformers was, no other TF franchise after g1 did what this did. P.S. the guys who created it can't exactly win it, considering they're the ones giving it out.
Then give it to Aaron Archer, Brian Goldner, whoever was the guy who made the TF toon in the frst place, or give it to the true driving force behind these movie: Steven Speilberg, not the director of movies like Pearl Harbor and Armageddon. And this will really pump up Mr. Bay's ego. As if seeing his name three time during the TV spots as well as hearing Transformers: A Michael Bay film at the end of those spots. Man, what is he trying to be like Ted Turner?
