Transformers

I certainly hope it´s not going to be like Power Rangers, but I guess it won´t, because this Tom DeSanto did X-Men and will probably use a lot of CG. I just hope that they will do their best on the CG, because most of the time when CG is used in movies, it just looks cheesy and crappy... *fingers crossed*

Fiver says it kicks ass <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> About time someone spotted the mountains of cash to be made from transformers. Finally i´ll be able to complete that one where you bought the hands/feet/legs/arms/body/head separately for about a tenner/limb and joined them all together. I could only ever afford one of the feet....

By Chris Gardner LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - &quot;The Transformers&quot; -- the ever-morphing Hasbro toy line that spawned comic books, TV series and an animated feature -- are ready to change shape again, this time into live-action stars of the big screen. Angry Films chief Don Murphy (whose next film is &quot;The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen&quot<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> and writer-producer Tom DeSanto (&quot;X-Men&quot; and &quot;X2: X-Men United&quot<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> have teamed to produce a feature-length, live-action movie based on the popular brand. The duo are expected to shop the project to studios shortly, and DeSanto said they have already received interest from a handful of directors. DeSanto is currently working on a story treatment for the project before he and Murphy hire a screenwriter to adapt it for the big screen. &quot;Transformers enjoys an amazing fan base worldwide, and we believe that we can create an incredibly fast-paced, exciting movie that will be appealing to anyone who loves action films,&quot; Murphy said in a statement. Added DeSanto: &quot;Transformers is one of the properties I have been infatuated with for a long time. Like ´X-Men,´ Transformers offers an amazing mythology with all the elements to create a successful ongoing franchise, iconic characters, global themes and a world that has never been seen before onscreen.&quot; Introduced in the mid-1980s, the Transformers brand centers on a group of robots that are able to change into a variety of objects, such as cars, trucks, planes, ships and other technological creations. The feature film will tell the story of an intergalactic war between two races of robots: the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. When their fight comes to Earth, the future of humanity inevitably hangs in the balance. &quot;We loved the creative take that Tom and Don presented to us,&quot; said Jane Ritson-Parsons, president of the Hasbro Properties Group. &quot;And for Hasbro, the center of our corporate strategy is extending our core brands in a variety of entertainment forms ... This is a franchise where the next story arc and the next destination is on the big screen.&quot; The Transformers was introduced in the United States by Hasbro in 1984 as a boy-friendly toy line. But even though the brand has been around awhile, it enjoys continued success, with sales up 64% in 2002 over 2001, according to Hasbro. Currently, they can be seen seven times a week via the series &quot;Transformers Armada&quot; on the Cartoon Network. According to Hasbro, additional television programs and comic books are on the schedule for 2004. The only time Transformers came to the big screen was in 1986 with the animated feature &quot;The Transformers: The Movie.&quot; Reuters/Hollywood Reporter jessy thinks juni loves trent, but dare not to say........ SOUTH PARK RULES!!!!

Lord of sun system: Your post is really unnecessary (like some other posts you made btw), because I already explained a lot in the initial post and made a link to the site where I got it from, so why are you repeating it ? They have a word for that yo

Sounds great. I hope the Autobots and Decepticons look like the old ones and not the Armada ones &quot;A TopGun through and through&quot;

Eraser : I see you haven´t been properly introduced to Lord yet <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Just do what I do to trolls: pretend he´s dead. Respond to him and he´ll continue his spam.

Transformer..more than meets the eye! this is going to be great, since CGI are going great...

omfg.. what were they thinking.. my cousins seem to love it.. tho i never saw the appeal.. first time i watched an episode was my last. there are older, but much better (original) series similar to that of transformers in korea.. only if i could get my hands on them.. speaking of tranformers.. they remind me of mechwarriors the game..´cept that they got ppl in them. Science is knowledge. Knowledge is power. Time is money. power = work/time therefore, knowledge= work/money therefore, money = work/knowledge therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge. therefore, The <i>more </i> knowledge you have, the <i>less </i> money you have. Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.

Transformers is the best &quot;A TopGun through and through&quot;

Transformers the movie... Hmmm.... I just hope they don´t ruin the Transformers´ reputation... <img src=´http://www.vj.yu/img/ilustraci…uktura/Vidovi/rod-avi.jpg ´><img src=´http://www.vj.yu/img/ilustracije/Simboli/cinovi/cin13_13.jpg ´> Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

Who are these people that produce this stuff. All that money, training and (alleged) talent and all they can think of is Transformers. Yay for hollywood, another 2hrs of unoriginal and worthless drivel shoved in front of the great unwashed to fund the next pointless and uninspired hollywood adventure. /end rant: sorry having a bad day and this topic just screamed &quot;target for wayward hostility.&quot; Edited by - Mustang on 12-06-2003 15:11:06

It might be cool if they include Brawn. He was that little Autobot who always wanted to fight and all the other Autobots would always say, &quot;slow down Brawn.&quot; On one episode they were fighting and someone hit Megatron and that big gun he had on his arm fell off and Brawn drove over to it and a little hatch opened on his underside and a little claw came out and grabbed Megatron´s gun. Then he turned back into a robot and said, &quot;let´s give Megatron a taste of his own medicine.&quot; Then he shot Megatron with is own gun. Boy was Megatron ticked off! Let´s get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!!

I remember watching some Transformer cartoon episodes, but I was very young and I can´t remember what it was all about. I would appreciate if someone would give me the basic plot line, as well as insight to the various characters. Maybe it will bring back memories of my repressed childhood. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

The first episode of the 80s Transformers cartoon, started on Cybertron (The Transformers home planet. The Autobots and the Decepticons were at war, this war had resulted in the near destruction of Cybertron, the Autobots planned to escape Cybertron in a spacecraft but the Decepticons followed and then boarded the Autobots craft, the two crafts then got hit by an Asteriod and then crashed on Earth. 4 Millilon Years Later the Autobots craft came online and started repairing all the Transformers, using schematics of earth vechles. The wars continued on earth. Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots and he transformers into a Articulated Lorry with a Trailer. Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons and he transforms into a gun that can be held by anyother transformer, normally Starscream a Decepticon Jet. &quot;A TopGun through and through&quot;

thanks top gun so do the vehicles when not in massive stomping mode have drivers in them? -arcon ------ <img src=´http://basil.acs.bolton.ac.uk/~wrm1ect/images/avatar3.jpg ´>

if you ever bought any of the transformer toys, you;ll notice that most decepticon are capable of interspace fligth, while most autobots can´t their moving speed may goes up to like mach 20, or more.. funny that they actually crash landed long time ago, yet still much more advanced than the humans they were helping. hopefully, they don´t screw this one up like mortal kombat series..
