    Re: Why Soundwave wasn't in Transformers.

    It was a good movie. I wasn't even a fan of Transformers like that, but it was just awesome. I like the concept of "how" they were able to choose their forms as well, that was pretty kool. Kinda wished that Optimus Had the whole Trailer and shebang as well tho woulda made that House scene funnier

    Fight scene at the end? Classic recap. It was pretty one sided tho, but yeah, it was awesomely epic.

    Also, fastest I'd ever seen a person run. He needs to try out for he Olympics.

    And where was Hot Rod!

    Barracade got his shyt ROCKED! LoL...

      Re: Why Soundwave wasn't in Transformers.

      Mhurron, Optimus having flames affected me adversely for about a /wait 2. Just seeing a figuratively realistic interpretation of an 80s Cult Phenomenon was good enough for me.

      Lesse... Next on the list is Voltron and then Thundercats.

      And maybe SWAT Kats while I'm wishing here.

      Oh a SWAT Kats movie would be awesome.

          If thats the case, wouldn't everything in life be considered commercialized child/adulthood fantasies?
          Yeah, no. Spiderman movies might've had the shit milked out of them, but they weren't just a vehicle to advertise... well, vehicles.

            You're knocking a movie for product placement when the basis of the source material was to sell toys to children? This flick can't not be about product placement and merchandising

            Its a two-hour ad for toys that happens to be entertaining.

            Next you're gonna tell me the Spiderman movies were to put some money back into Marvel. Naw, and here I thought Ghost Rider and The Punisher were arthouse flicks.

                Naw, more like the day someone figures how to use the all spark to turn humans into transformers.

                  I can't believe they expekted me to believe that thing was about the Size of a Gamecube and contained all the power of the Universe fit to utilize.

                  Man, that movie was so Good, lol.. the CG didn't look like CG.

                      I'm not a fan of the whole "Crotch Scanning" thing.

                      When Bumblebee changed in the tunnel tho, lmao... Kool stuff.

                        Yes. Because there's a difference between selling cheap pieces of plastic and vehicles that cost tens of thousands of dollars. I don't mind merchandise based on a series (or vice versa), I do however mind trying to tie it to something unrelated just for the sake of cash.

                        No, I won't, but I will tell you that the spiderman movies have stirred up interest at least

                          Yes, they have. Too bad other franchise movies weren't better made.

                          /wait for Green Lantern Movie.

                          And I heard that the F4 Movie with the Silver Surfer was terrible.

                            Don't forget, they tried to place vehicles that would fit the persona of the characters. Also, it had to do with what company would want their car placed in the movie for what's it worth. Hell, chevy gave them use of a concept car for Bumblebee's new form. 1, that shows trust, 2, I doubt well see the concept car being affordable by anyone's standards. 3, Sucks for BW cause they missed out on being used for a movie that sold out all showing on july 4th >_>; Don't forget, getting companies to sponsor their cars for the movie did help save on production costs, which really can help in high budget movies like this.

                              A lot of stuff was just obvious, like Optimus, Barracade and Starscream. (wish I knew the names of the other ones but uhm.. the tank, and the Crane thing also were obvious)

                              That scene when they were leaving the Dam and were otw to the city.. With some different music, it could have been a car commercial.

                              The "GMC" logos were very evidently obvious.

                              As were the Apple logo on the laptop, and the Cisco phones in the Government office. Hell, there was even a Cisco logo on a card that was slightly blurred when the Secretary of Defense tried picking up the phone. (We sell and implement those phones at my job for other companies, so I knew it at first glace.)

                              (WOOT! Thank you, Government, for using Cisco, lol...)

                                On topic:

                                Soundwave was my favorite Decepticon and I was VERY dissapointed about that!

                                Off topic:

                                1. The movie was sweet
                                2. Some of the fight scenes were a little too fast/blury to really see
                                3. Optimus looked awesome
                                4. I hope they come out with a movie for everything I ever loved
                                5. Steven Spielburg does nothing but add funding and hype to movies. (making them better)
                                6. Why is that that little crazy (soundwave wanna be) touched the cube and regenerated, while Bumble Bee couldn't regenerate his legs?
                                7. Why is that every time that cube made something come to life, it became so murderous? (as opposed to 50/50 murderous and non-murderous)
                                8. That kid from Holes was frickin awesome and that girl, damn!
                                9. Why is that all the Transformers had to examine a vehicle to become it, and Megatron was just a jet? Wasn't he supposed to be a gun anyway?
                                10. At the end: (Hey girl, wanna make out? Sure. Hey, Bumble Bee, can we make out on you? Sure. Dudes, turn into cars and don't look okay? Sure.)
