He had a transformers coloring book didnt he? Love that movie. Too bad they didnt make Space Balls 2 Search for more money hehe
I like that you're using all of those 80s guys. Bring more. Also: Jazz is getting crap from Zero-Live-Action-Movies Marshall Bravestarr and My-Movie-Was-The-Nail-In-The-Coffin-From-How-Bad-It-Tanked He-Man? Come on Jazz! PWN THEM! Ooops... and by that time Filmation cartoons were very bad. Gone were the days of He-Man and Flash Gordon. Bravestarr and Filmation's Ghost Busters were really bad, but at least Bravestarr had great characters. Exactly. What was the name of the bipedal Horse? He was cool. Nice theory. Really. Having Astrotrain as a co-conspirator adds a characterization layer to him. It wouldn't be the first time he tried to take Megatron out of the picture as well. Is that the horse? -airfox
If bashing the movie is getting old, so is the constant defending of it. Yeah, G1 had alot of plot holes. For an extended toy commercial from the 80's, you'd expect that. Everything that they gave for a reason as to why the movie was made the way it was, the TF's looked like they did, and a myriad of other excuses was because the 2007 flick "wasn't a movie about toys and had to be realistic". It's been 21 years, you'd think they'd have less plot holes than the '86 movie, but they have just as many. You'd think there'd be less, seeing how Bay is such a master movie maker. Oh, and the flubs. Wait, even though the power was knocked out on the block, the lights are on in the backyard? No one in the neighborhood notices 30' robots rumaging in someones yard? Ummm...Barricade just disappears? Sam is walking away, now he's sitting? Blackout nearly kills Sam by chopping a car in half and chucking it at him, even though Ratchet and Ironhide were JUST RIGHT BEHIND HIM telling him to keep moving? Then they reappear just in time to fight Starscream? Canyons indeed. Regardless, bashing the movie never gets old, just like defending it doesn't, and neither the G1 cartoon, '86 movie, or the '07 movie is better then one or the other. Great comic Matt.
By all means, rag on Barricade's disappearance, rampant mass shifting, and the apparent deafness of Sam's neighbors. But this is not a legitimate complaint. Things don't freeze in space like they do on earth, it's a scientific fact.
G1 and 86 movie had tons of plot holes, I'm not a basher or anything, but they're still plot holes. Like how Ultra Magnus survived being blown to bits while Prime couldn't survive a waist injury.
I love how in the related art Bravestarr looked very native American, but the toy looked totally like a white guy with a ponytail.
So wait, you first say that bashing/defending (ie. having an opinion about) the film is getting old, then you go right around and bash it again? Hypocrite? Bashing can exist without defense, that's why it gets old. Defending the movie can't exist without bashing, so I don't see how it can get old. Blatant bashing isn't an opinion, it's just people being bitter because people can't get used to change and nitpick at every little flaw just to try andf make themselves feel better about having to give up their childhood to modernization. I don't see how this comic is good when it's basicaly a cheap shot, nitpicking to hopefully get a laugh or two. I know Matt has real humour because of past strips, like the one previous to this, was pretty funny. At the very least chuckle inducing, yet this just makes him (and you0 look just like another GEEWUNNER. Sci-fi movies are notorious for having errors, simply because of the use of special effects. Barricade's death scene for instance was left out on purpose, so the writers could (possibly) bring him back for TF2. Also, a giant battle is taking place and one guy walks away, the scene cuts for a moment, and he's sitting. How's that a plot error? For all you know, he could've been in shock and sat down after seeing BB crawling. Remember, everybody got knocked back by that missle hit, not just IH & BB. The movie was a blockbuster hit, and record DVD sales this year, it was rediculously entertaining regardless of any plot errors, which makes it a success and a good movie.
Yup. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093507/ I liked it quite enough, but it flopped. Hard. And it's understandable as it's not so good, but as I say my 13 or 12 year old self liked it quite enough. It was no Star Wars though. -airfox
Well Prime didn't have the luxury of counting on a planet full of Junkeons all armed with intricate transformer repair knowledge and some industrial strength Armor All polish.
I recognized Bravestar and He-Man! That was wonderful, Matt! I totally need to drag out my old tapes and watch them again, especially the Bravestar tape. I... never thought about that whole cold space thing before... eww...
Keep drawing what you want to draw, Matt. Its your comic after all. And I second the call for a LilFormers Thirty-Thirty! If you want to, of course! --Moony
Brave Star was good,,, But GR was BETTER!!! Hey Hollywood, if you're done butchering comics books, here are to shows, space westerns in fact, that could be brought back.
