Target 2006.

Spielberg can't make a Transformers movie. Just envision the closing scene featuring a weeping Optimus Prime.

With the voice of Tom Hanks...

I think it'll be great!

Yeah, in black and white, explaining how Soundwave smuggled Autobots out from Cybertron...

With Robin Williams as the voice of 'Unkie Cup'.


My God, it'll be beautiful.

Just envision the closing scene featuring a weeping Optimus Prime.

Like a lot of the comics, then?

"Oh Megatron, we could have saved them all. Why do we have to fight so much? Our power to change could have been used in a positive way!"

Stop naysaying. How could the man who brought us Hook let us down?

And AI wasn't complete soul-fucking disappointment. In bizarro world.

I swear I'm gonna spoont if Optimus Prime says "Autobots- transform and roll out!"
We got a great big convoy truckin' through the night...

Sorry, couldn't fight the urge.

Hee hee!

So long as they include the transformation noise, I'll be happy.

Here's what I want:

1. Prime being the best. The main 'bot.
2. Ultra Magnus not being as good as Prime, and making mention of it at every available opportunity.
3. Pissed-off Ironhide.
4. The Rza having his voice digitised to be Soundwave.
5. No Hot Rod.

I love Optimus Prime.

But I prefer the Dinobots.

Loved that ish of the comic where the Dinobots beat the shit out of Predaking.

Ravage, eject

Rumble, eject

Ramapage, eject

Buzzsaw, eject

Laserbeak, eject

Lots of that please.

Oooh, Soundwave, EJACULATE!
I present for your spoonting pleasure...

bits i want:

prime and megatron smacking into each other like mountains after prime's cleared a way through the whole decepticon army to the tune of you got the touch.

prime fretting about reactivating the dinobots in case they go wild and wreck the planet, but realising he has no choice when devastator hoves into view.

starscream whingeing at megatron, megatron's fuming annoyance - these machines live for billions of years and starscream spends the entire time plotting his boss' overthrow. that's gotta have pissed him off. need some proper starscream rules the skies moments too to make it clear why he keeps him around.

jazz, mirage, wheeljack, ratchet, all the boys standing around scratchjing their heads while spike explains thngs: 'so this stuff just grows out the ground and you put it inside your face? and you call that fuel?'

rumble and frenzy doing their thing: 'hey no one talks to soundwave like that' smash, crash etc.

if they're going to be in it at all, you want galvatron just bouncing ultra magnus off his fist for about half an hour. puny autobot.

chik chokchok chak chik

heavy allegory: warmachines = bad energon consumption, trucks and cars = good energon consumption

oh, and prime weeping in the rain while he frets about megatron's plans for galactic domination.

they should just rewrite the first ten episodes of the cartoon really. it's all there. anyone got the link for that ten-second animation thing of jazz transforming from a year or two ago? that was nice, and that guy should get the fx gig

11:54 / 26.07.04
oh yeh i forgot, the bit where all the brave but kinda goofy autobots are all lined up outside the ark, then someone calls all their names out and they take a step forward, volunteering for yet another suicide mission. proper lump-in-throat let's-take-this-fuckin-hill glory.

Didn't Haus write a considered essay on how Ultra Magnus was, is and always will be shit? Where's that at?
 
 
Alex Thoth
14:35 / 26.07.04
I want bumblebee.

Actually, I wrote an essay on why Ultra Magnus is one of the more nuanced and satisfying Transformers, although those unfortunate enough to have been restricted to the cartoon and the US comic series may have difficulty with the idea. It's in the "Haus of Questions" thread, I think.

So, not only do I want Ultra Magnus rallying magnificently to throw Galvatron off something big and steep, I'd also like to see him getting a proper boyfriend. Possibly Prowl.

nothing against the 'bot himself you understand, his conflicted motivations were interesting and well-handled from Target 2006 onwards, as was his later and all-too understandable and commendably overcome galvatronophobia. and he didn't deserve to be upstaged by that no-good punk hotrod in the movie (hot rod's real name is just 'rod' you know, the 'hot' thing is just something he made kup and blur call him else he wouldn't be their friend any more). but he's no optimus.
 
 
THOR!
16:03 / 26.07.04
oh, and don't be coy, dig up the link to your ultra magnus essay and do it now.
 
 
Lord Morgue
16:22 / 26.07.04
Oh, I got yer Ultra Magnus essay right here!
Eat of my flesh.

The concept of Transformer Watersports that don't actually involve manful wrestling in a suitably large reservoir is baffling to me.

Because people at work might complain, I should point out that Lord Morgue in his above post is actually linking to a Transformers Slash fiction page.

Haus' views on Ultra Magnus are indeed here.

Might ruin the drama a bit, but I always liked it when Omega Supreme slagged half the Decepticons single-handedly.

Oh, and let's have some Shockwave.
 
 
osymandus
21:33 / 26.07.04
No i like the slagging of half the decepticons , mainly for the fact im sick to death of bad guys never dying , or rolling around on the floor in pieces .
More bad guys in piece s !!!

Are hell Autobots switch to gurial insurgance mode and sniping positions ha ha !!
 
 
Boboss
21:51 / 26.07.04
I meant that by slagging all the Decepticons, the Autobots would have nothing to do for the rest(?) of the movie.

Also, all rather too deus ex machina.

Who's Elliot (from Impulsivelad's post with cool pic)? One of the kids they hung out with in the cartoon?

SHOCKWAVE SHOCKWAVE!!! JAZZ!!! And I dig the Dinobots. ("Me, Grimlock, STTRROONNNGG!!!" always cracked me up)

Which one was the cassette player Transformer?

That would be Soundwave, who was my favourite of all time. He's still in storage somewhere, complete with three of the tape creatures. *sigh* The new transformers toys just don't compare.

I wonder if Hasbro's 'no deaths' rule will still hold for this?
 
 
Lord Morgue
11:54 / 27.07.04
I can't shake the image of a naked Optimus Prime smeared with lubricant, lying on a bearskin rug, his optics dimmed to an attractive shade of violet...

Where the fuck do you GET a Transformer-scale bearskin rug?!

And if anyone got busted at work looking at Transformers porn... I, I'm afraid I'm laughing too hard to have any sympathy at all...

House, i found the magnus piece very moving, and i'm happy to have been reminded of the beautiful site of he and g entombed in their deathly lovers embrace.
