God damnit

 

too much too soon

less is more

I can't wait for this movie but I can't help but feel that TF1 is to Bad Boys and TF2 is to Bad Boys 2 where they just didn't give a damn and put in as much into it as they could

 

Oh noez.

 

I think some new plot points will be done away with quickly. Isabel Lucas has really only been seen in the college setting and one car scene, so I really only see her having some screen time in the "at college" part of the movie...or at least the human version of herself. There's also the rumor going around that Devastator is only in one scene (nowhere near confirmation on that, but it's made the rounds on the boards).

The fact that a bunch of different concepts are being thrown in does worry me, but I'll reserve judgement until I see how it all pieces together.

 

We have to pay because Bay still hasn't learned - less it more.

...here's to hoping the "source" was wrogn again.
If a decepticon can diguise themselves as a human, it give the writters a gimpy way to introduce new characters, plus there can be thousands of Decepticons as humans. If a decepticon can disquise themselves as a human, why bother trying to disguise themselves as vehicles?

 

i gonna start calling her the T-X

 

Oh my gosh they are even pulling out the Kiss Player fan fiction porn for this one as well. Not that I'm the sort of person to ever look up weird Japanese animated porn  

Waiting to see how it's going to work on in the movie before I go thumbs up or thumbs on the movie Pretenders concept since the film series is looking to be a mix of things I'm going to like and not like.

 

Do not like this concept at all; Terminator crossovers?

 

I won't mind it-- and in fact will probably like the unique twist-- PROVIDED THAT Alice's true TF form actually transforms into something else, like a scooter or something, I dunno.

I will agree that the whole "tentacle/tongue" thing does seem a little too "Kiss Players", though.

 

Just a guess, but I'm guessing the Decepticons do this in order to get something from Sam. Why else place a Pretender agent at the same college Sam attends, disguised as an attractive woman? You'd also have to be a small Transformer to disguise yourself as a human. Vehicle modes are compatible for larger Transformers. But yeah, it's a rather easy way for smaller human-sized Transformers to disguise themself. As Frenzy proved, you don't need to disguise yourself as a human to get information from a computer.

 

I actually like this idea. She's probably not so much the T-X as she probably just has a hologram surrounding her instead of some kind of organic flesh.

Personally, I like this idea, and wouldn't mind if they brought in a Headmaster (Japanese version with a smaller bot and a big body, not a human in a suit) also in the third movie.

 

meh. Kinda lame.
No tsure that I buy it anyway.

 

I agree, but that's the problem. If the Fallen and Devastator are true, I'd hope that they're major plot elements, and are fleshed out accordingly. I don't doubt the validity of this latest report (it makes sense according to what we've seen in the past), but I just imagine this film being full of so many plot points that aren't resolved untim TF3.

Given the "inspiration" drawn from other popular trilogies, though (Empire Strikes Back, especially) I'm expecting the Autobots to get torn up and left on the run in the face of all these Decepticon attacks, with the third movie marking their biggest advancements/comeback. The only real Autobot news is the mention of a possible Prime/Jetfire combo, and a handful of new small-ish autobots.

As long as the characters receive some proper characterization, and the film has some sort of cohesion, I'll be happy.

 

Because the more powerful and even more arrogant decepticons wouldn't stoop so low as to take on the form of a "fleshling" not to mention they are too large to be disguised as a human.

They most likely share the notion that Machines > Humans and send their weaker smaller and less respected decepticon forces to scan a human form, if this info about the movie holds true.

lastly, you wouldn't have cool vehicle modes to do your fanstastic mods and paint jobs on when the movie toys are released 

 

Sounds potentially cool.

But bah... all the tentacle jokes have pretty much been made in this thread already.

Hey man! Spoiler space that ish!!!!!11!!  

 

Very good points. I believe you're on to something. I believe Orci has already told us that the Decepticons get more characterization in this movie and that "The Fallen" may or may not refer to one individual. With the subtitle Revenge of the Fallen, seems very plausible that this movie may be more of a movie about the Decepticons' comeback than the Autobots defense.

Still though, quite a few plot points for 2 hours of movie. Hopefully it still flushes out well.

 

How about those of us who are pissed to find a possible SPOILER on the MAIN PAGE? Jeez! If this is true, you guys managed to ruin a major plot twist.

-LoserBroadside, who's people.

 

OK so the big question should be... What is her alt mode? We know she wears a human shell, but what does the robot turn into. I would love it if she turned into a head. This movie as 2 "confirmed" combiners. It would make sense.

 

how's san diego been? i miss it already... i little.
This is untrue. If it were, the decepticons would have all kept cybertron modes rather than small tanks, police cars, and the other primitive forms they took in the original film.
