    I remember him saying that, and I was just laughing about that.

    I've worked as a cinematographer (not on the scale they're working on of course- but the basics are the basics). Yes red can cause some complications in some situations, but they're very minor. Movies are filled with things that are red, and most of the time they look fine.

    I've thought from the first time I read that, that he was either just making excuses to change things, or perhaps doesn't actually understand how red photographs (some tech somewhere just told him not to do it and he's just been following it blindly).

    So yes, it amuses me greatly that after a black Ironhide and Silver sidewipe he's apparently now doing a red character.

    My fingers are still crossed that it turns out to be Hot Rod (assuming he gets enough screen time for it to matter who he is).

    If memory serves me, Bay's first "red doesn't film well" excuse was justification for making Optimus Prime primarily blue.

    I hope he really does leave his take on TF as a trilogy. I'd really like to see someone who understands the mythos, characters, and true potential of Transformers and who knows how to tell a good story get a chance at a reboot of the franchise. I wonder if Jon Favreau is a Transformers fan.

    Please be Hot Rod! Please be Hot Rod! Please be Hot Rod! Please! :bowdown: 

    I can picture the movie now... He drives through a massive fireball & when he comes out the otherside, He's got a bad-ass flame job! That would be awesome! :D

    That's the only character I'm asking for and I hope they do him justice. Although I doubt we'd have both him and Prime with flames though

    I could be wrong but I think the name Barricade comes from postings on the Don Murphy Board... that tailed from the campaign to rename Demolishor into Brawl... even though he ended up as Devastator (kind of).

    The idea being a 'Police Barricade'. there was lots of talk of repositioning old names from things like micromasters and the name emerged from that.

    I accepted flames on Prime, but I still haven't accepted silver swordy Sideswipe! I accept him as a cool design, but Sideswipe in name only!

    Ah, Ferrari. Finally, a proper car :)  Let's just hope that whichever bot it transforms into doesn't have some casually racist Italian accent, or connection to a robotic "family"... :rolleyes:

    I'm sorry but the Ferrari would not make a good Hot Rod or Cliffjumper. I can only see Hot Rod as a old school muscle car (example 70 chevelle SS, 69 Nova SS and so on)with todays technology with like fuel injection, supercharger and so on and Cliffjumper should be the same as BB a Camaro I can see the Ferrari as Sunstreaker, Windcharger or maybe Mirage.

    I disagree ,Hot Rod in 86 movie was supposed to be a futuristic sport car in the year 2005.A classic old muscle car look doesn't really go well with his turbo revin young punk personality ( if their following g1).

    I think the 458 kinda embodies Hot Rod pretty well fast, young/new and slick.

    I stand corrected.

    Still a load of self-justificatory drivel though. I find it painful that someone who clearly knows as much about photography as Michael Bay does (I may loathe his style, asthetics and execution but he knows his technical) would end up talking such nonsense.

    I still don't think it's Rodimus, something is telling me that Bay would want him a little fancier than that. Having it as Cliffjumper would be pretty cool, but we'll have to wait I guess.

    I hope Hot-Rod becomes Rodimus Prime in this movie, purely because I want to see a ferrari style winnebago.

    Great, you made a kick-ass car into a crappy convertible that doesn't look too great and you have that stupid Ferrari that doesn't fit with any of the other Autobots. :crazy:

    Why? I think it´s great having a car that´s not a GM car.
