Lately I've been hearing a lot of fans saying that a Live action CGI series would be awesome for some whom need a much grittier show than Animated(ever since "They Were Always Real To Me"). I think a lot about this idea and came up with a character list. I invite other to join in this fun little post(Plot, humans, MacGruffins, Etc.) Character Bio format: Name(Portrayer/VA)-Faction -Alt. Mode.(provide link to a picture- Bio: (Personality, Background, ideals, etc.) Weapons: ------------------------------------------------ Optimus Prime(Peter Cullen)-Neutral @ first/Later Autobot -Peterbilt 379(in First Strike OP colors)- Bio: Prime is what you consider a lone wolf. He hates the idea of being part of a "team", but that doesn't mean he isn't heroic. He's the perfect gung-ho vigilante killing machine(think John Rambo). He actually the younger of two children. His Brother, Dion is believed to be dead. Weapons:Shoulder-Mounted Gattling Guns(convert fr. Vehicle mode Smokestacks) -Ion Pulse Cannon -LongSword Armblade Megatron(Frank Welker)-Decepticon -Cybertronian Jet- Bio:Megatron is what you consider a educated Psychopath(think Hannibal Lector). He always Charmed and Winked, and Charred and Wrecked numerous bots to get where he is now. He commands fear and blind worship over respect. Has no mercy or compassion for ANY creature that he deems "weak or inferior". Would kill his own men, if necessary. Weapons/Special Powers:Left arm Converts to Chain Mace Arms Combine into Long Barrel Fusion Cannon Multi-Missile Units Located above knees on each leg Power to manipulate Cold/Ice(side effect of Cryogenic Imprisonment) ------------------------------------------------------- Those were my examples but you can add to the fun: Characters: Bots: Bumblebee(2008 Camaro) Jazz(Pontiac Solstace) Ratchet(Hummer H2 Ambulance) Ironhide(GMC Topkick) Arcee(Buell XB12R Firebolt) Hoist(Ford-F350 Tow truck) Sidswipe(Lamborghini Murcielago) Hound(HUMVEE) Trailbreaker(Mercades-Benz GL Class) Big Daddy(1957 Chevy Bel Air) Wheeljack(Ferrari F430) Grindcore(Caterpillar 930G[modified into Bulldozer) Landmine(Desert Patrol Vehicle) Wingblade(A-10 Warthog) Cons: Starscream(F-22 Raptor) Barricade(Saleen S128 Police Cruiser) Brawl(M1A1 Abrams "Stealth" Tank) Blackout(MH-53 Pave Low) Bonecrusher(Buffalo H MPCV) Stockade(Cadillac Ecsalade) Swindle(Chevy Cobalt SS) Dropkick(Chevy Silverado Low Rider Mod.) Wreckage(LAV-25 APC) Dispensor(Mountain Dew Vending Machine) Frenzy(GPX Dual Speaker Radio/CD Boombox) Jetstorm(Antonov An-225) Jolt(Bugatti Veyron) Divebomb(SU-37 Terminator) Scrapper(Forklift) Mixmaster(Cement Truck) Payload(Bulldog II Armored S.W.A.T Truck) Shockwave(AH-64 Apache) Soundwave(Balkan MK-6 w/ Spy Mods.) -Remember Have fun- =3
I'd really just as soon not hear Gary Chalk as Optimus again anytime soon. I've gotten really sick of the voice.
Okay, because Hasbro wouldn't want a series that supports the G1s and therefore make them have to reissue them again, i know that a CGI show like that video clip is out of the question. but damn, When i am stuck in the backseat of a car and my mind wanders, i look at a semi passing by, or pass a construction site, and i just think that the more realistic vehicles would be cooler, and the simple transformers of G1 would be easier to do and it just ain't right to create a new 'verse when ya got gold sticking out of the ground already. soapbox broke...i am done.
