Optimus Prime, in Transformers (2007)<\/b>, I could say, “Yeah, you’ve become a lot more badass.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Now, in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen<\/b>, I don’t know what to say. It’s not the noble you, it’s not the righteous you. You say lines I never would expect you to say. In a way, you broke my heart.<\/p>\n
Michael Bay, you ass, you did it because you could and wanted to make people cry. But we sat there and both YK and me knew very well what was coming on. Probably the most predictable part of the movie. “Hey wait a minute, this seems all too familiar…<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Before Transformers (1986)<\/b> such a… “plot device<\/i>” did not happen. Then filmmakers learned from the outlash from this, so they made “plot devices which turn optimistic<\/i>“. So now many years later it would seem all too predictable and cliche for the “plot device which turns optimistic<\/i>” to be used again. Maybe this is Michael’s way of saying, “see, I wasn’t such an ass after all!<\/i>”<\/p>\n
There’s no more need to “wipe out the old toy line for the new toy line<\/i>” – Hasbro as of the 90’s discovered “recolors”, far more than the movie ever had.<\/p>\n
Devastator wasn’t all that cool. Though it was nice to have a few brothers<\/i> in the hood who didn’t get hit or taken to pieces like in the first one.<\/p>\n
Frank Welker does Soundwave’s voice, as it was in the cartoon, but it sure doesn’t sound like him! If anything, the Decepticons who had lines in the cartoon, always had very distinctive voices and characters. Even more so for the Autobots – you could always identify an Autobot by their accent and what they said even if you weren’t looking at the screen.<\/p>\n
So when the bigwigs stated in interviews that the cartoon movie killed off the characters to make new toys, I wonder if they realized how relatively fleshed-out each Transformer really was!<\/p>\n
