Megatron's hands were visible in the teaser...

Megatron is the only Transformer we know from the movie apart from Frenzy with antenna-like hands. We saw Antenna-like hands pinning Spike, sorry Sam, down during the scene inter-cut with scenes of Sam and Starscream. But Starsceam's hands aren't antenna-like. This could be Megatron.

 

This.

I'll wind up purchasing the new tank form toy because it looks really neat, but I think there's so much stuff going into this movie that I'm OK with Megatron either in the movie or not. There looks to be plenty of awesomeness already.

 

That is my take on it as well. Megatron would be icing on the cake. I'll enjoy having his toy more too.

 

Bay's motivations for doing the TF movies

Yes, he does hate it, and he hated it from the gate. I think at best, he's tolerating it, because it brings him some $$$$$, and I'd even go so far to say that maybe even Bay is satirizing the whole Transformers concept: I mean why else would we have those FUGLY Autobots known as Skids and Mudflap, the flames on Prime, making all the Decepticons look ugly as hell because they're evil (which is one-dimensionalizing them, becuase not everything that is ugly is evil and vice-versa) and all the other radical departures from the source material? I'll never forget Bay saying in an interview, "I don't want to do some TOY movie!".

Yes, I know it's Bay's movie, and he can do what he wants, but at the same time, in my opinion, when you do something in a film, especially one based on previous material, and then you say in interviews, "I did that because I wanted to", that becomes a tired justification that gets redundant and lame really fast. Something must have a reason besides, "I want to", and "it looks cool". Just my two cents. Regardless, I'll be watching TFROTF, but as always I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

has any1 heard anything about the autobots and decepticons teaming up in the end to beat the fallen?

 

Why not? The original cartoon was mediocre at best. Far better cartoons existed in the 80's. Michael Bay is allowed to state his opinions on it. Even Talentless Hacks are allowed free speech.

Easy... something called the freedom of speech. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Tony gave me permission already in the original posting:

Since Tony told me to 'yell at him,' I am doing so in a rational and logical fashion. Funny when anyone has an opposing point a view (even when said view is explained calmly and logically), all forums go from a democratic discussion to a totalitarian dictatorship and an oppression of free speech.

 

I'm pretty sure that Bay loves the concept.

He just dislikes the G1 take on it.

 

Exactly, I enjoy Adam West's take on Batman as a spoof, some people hate it even more than Schumacher!

Oh, and these "fugly" robot designs are beautiful. You heard me!   Starscream's more of a heartthrob than the original!

 

the most predictable scenario for me, would be Megatron showing up to put the Fallen in his place.

 

Please no! As if that theme hasn't been overkilled to the extreme (and highly typical of multiple sequel movies...the 3 TF movies could end up being a carbon copy of the X-Men movie trilogy).

One possible thing working against that idea is that it seems the final battle will indeed be in Egypt but involving a fight against the combined Devastator (and if the autobots are fighting along side him instead of against them that would be uber lame, and just doesn't seem right given the menace they're making Devi be).

What's that about truffles?  

 

It doesn't surprise me that Megatron is still alive. People I know keep thinking Megatron is deader than a door nail, and they're wrong. It's MEGATRON. He's pure evil, and pure evil cannot be defeated, much less destroyed, so easily.

But he's definitely in the movie for sure, because we saw his hand pinning Sam to the ground, as well as seeing his leg in the background.

 

is there gonna be a third movie? =)

 

And in the real world, why would the feared Emperor of Destruction, change his name to fucking Galvatron?


I like G1 Galvatron but this incarnation of Megatron holds himself in higher regard than his other counterparts, well maybe not Animated.

 

Spoiler

Is Unicron come to eat the Earth at the end of movie?

Ya like Megatron come out of the water that way.

 

Except that Movie Megatron was more of a bumbling idiot than his G1 counterpart. First he crashes on Earth and gets entombed in ice, then he gets captured by a bunch of humans with some coolent, then after being 'resurrected' for about 1/2 hour, he gets his ass handed to him by a teenage kid.

Worst. Movie. Villain. Ever.

 

I'm afraid between Bay's editing style and the amount of new bots, all this movie is going to be is a series of jump cuts, with a lot of   of course...

Wrong.

I think this concept is carried out by Prime and Jetfire combining, not both factions as a whole.

 

Who does Micheal Bay think he's fooling he was in the trailer

 

Bay said he'd lie

Bay says he'll lie about the movie.

Bay says Megatron isn't in the movie.

Megatron has a ridiculous amount of production work dedicated to him and here's the kicker, he's shown in the trailer. And yet, some people are still convinced that either Megatron won't be in the movie or he'll be called Galvatron instead.

Folks, you're giving Bay way too much credit.

Bay said he'd lie about the movie.

Bay said Megatron is not in the movie.

Bay LIED about the movie.

 

The article makes a compelling case, and I've always thought "The Fallen" had a double meaning anyway (both "The Fallen" and "the fallen"), so it makes sense. Bring on Megatron!
