    No references for me because those shitty movies where no connections to the original, in my opinion !

    Damn near all the ones listed in the other 492 threads on this subject... Which incidentally will be the same ones listed here, no doubt.

    It's not more of a stretch than 90% of all the "similarities" between g1 and Bayverse so I don't see why that would be an issue for Armada "similarities".

    You try to come up with something original
    "It's nothing like any of the other series! HATE!"

    You make a homage to another series:
    "It's ripping off said series! HATE!"

    You just can't win.

    And also this.
    Don't like it, don't come on the forum that's dedicated to it.

    Yea but as you said all of the the other similarities can be identified with a 90% probability.

    Reedman being classified as a Minicon, is like a 5% chance. As I said Minicons are supposed to be power boosters. Reedman didn't do that.

    And since we're on the subject of Reedman; who named it Reedman?

    It sounds like a Robot Master from Megaman.

    Michael Bay named it Reedman, of course.

    I'm so sorry, did my choice of words offend you? How about DotM lifted the main ideas from Megatron's Master Plan and the Ultimate Doom and rehashed them? I didn't throw any hate around.

    I've learned to accept the movies for what they are. If my opinion differs from your opinion, then please, grow up and suck it up :)

    Would be awesome - then I could nickname him Bakatron :p  (I bet nobody will get that pun - if you don't then sorry)

    these aren't references. well, most of em aren't. That's like saying Spider-man makes a reference to the comics because his costume matches the comics (to whatever degree it does, i'm not opening another can of worms)

    No-one remember the yellow VW bug next to the camaro in the first movie? If that ain't a reference then we may aswell give this thread right up now.

    Oh and Ravage has never been a canine in G1.....he's a jaguar.

    Yeah, your choice of wording gave the idea that it was just an angry hate message.
    It didn't offend me, it just bugs me when people accuse the movies of ripping off, when they are, as you put it, 'lifting the main ideas' and then rehashing them.

    Having no connections to the original isn't an opinion. That's not how opinions work.

    It's also a lie.

    Wheeljacks devices not always working. When Sam tries to save him from being killed. It doesnt work properly.

    The copy machine (Laserbeak) in the office where same works plays "more then meets the eye"

    Megatron turns into a big gun in the first film during the final battle and blasts Optimus threw a building.

    When sam first goes to buy his Camero you see an old beat up yellow VW bug next to it. as a referance to his G1 form

    Theres so many its hard not to notice.

    Megatron never transformed into a gun in Bay's first Transformers.
