Hey Mr. Bay! Hows about doing Megatron right!

[Drithe]

You said the reason you didnt want to make Megatron a gun in the first movie was because it didnt seem feasible to have such a large robot turn into a small hand gun for another robot to use. Infact I believe you said it didnt make sense physics wise. But yet in the movie you have a HUGE CUBE scale down in size by transorming itself into a smaller cube.

Transformers was a great movies for an old cartoon kid from the 80's like me. But PLEASE bring back the old Megatron for the fans...........and PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL MEGATRON VOICE!!!!

If you do you will hear a cry through out the land!!!

Or at least all the transformer fans you have. Thanks in advance.

Drithe Bors.

End of Line.

Dude, give it up. This converstion is o 2005.

The reason the Allapark did what it did was becasue it was some kind of life/god source. End of story.

That's it. I suggest that people need to post at least five times before they are able to make a thread.... is that an available feature?

[TIMtationX]

After seeing the movie, they made the right choice for Megatrons voice..

[LadiesMan217]

Megatron would never work as a gun. Not on the big screen. The average G1-viewer may sit there and think happily "Yeah, he's a gun. They got it right" but the rest of the theatre would probably erupt with insane laughter.

[devonnewberry]

I liked Hugo Weaving's voice man. Leave Welker out

you got my vote on that.

As a suggestion to those that continue to make ignorant threads or requests: Write, A MICHAEL BAY FILM about 100 times on a chalkboard or a piece of paper or something, then see how you feel about writing that page-long diatribe on how the dinobots/unicron/gun megs or whoever else NEEDS to be in the sequel. Thanks

[Galvatron]

I'm a G1 fan and will always love and respect the original series and movie however that does not mean that they needed to religiously take all aspects from the G1 characters and storyline to make this movie!

How many times has optimus changed alone over the last 25 years in all of the different series, christ he was even a freakin gorilla in beast wars!

The video game for the transformers movie was good at least to me but frank welker at times sounded like he had a severe chest cold rather than he sounded like megatron.

I respect his work in the original G1 series and the COUNTLESS work he has done in other animated shows and movies over the years but hugo weaving did a great job too.


What's done is done, please, everyone just get over this nonsense !

[Sillypuddy]

Maybe this could be the perfect opportunity for Megs to be rebuilt as Galvatron---that little piece of allspark could be the reason it happens... wishful thinking...

An EXCELLENT idea! lol

They may still be planning that for the sequel.

I agree. I think Hugo's voice was incredible. I really liked it.

[brAnd7onX]

If Megatron turns into Galvatron please keep Hugo Weaving. I thought he was effin amazing. One of my favorite lines in the movie was "I am Megatron" that shit still gives me chills.

agreed...posts like these are asinine

I realize some of your holyinesses get real upset when someone has a different idea than yours, but sweet jesus it is no reason to attack someone verbally like this.lol Do you think you are some sort of TRANSFORMERS EXPERTS whose ideas and what not deserve better attention than those who arent so informed?

Please get over yourselves.

YES the guys voice for the new megatron was cool btw.

End of Line.

They're just stating their opinions, dude. That's the point of a forum. Besides, the design is over and done with; at least for this film. We don't even know if Megatron will be in the sequel.

Obviously it's a possibility, but for now, please just stop complaining. Everyone else is tired of the bashing in various aspects of the film. Let's not drag on it, shall we?

Just so I am clear on this. my original statement was not meant to shoot down the posters ideas. I just don't thing it is good manners to join a board, write this big thing on how you feel, then fade into obscurity. Also, I think it is rude to ask for anything other than information, in your first post, if it is starting a thread. furthermore, I think it is rude for your first post to be a thread starter if it is anything other than an information question that hasn't been asked (at least in the first 3 pages of section).

Well sorry dude but if you don't want others to respond with their opinions then do not make postings on any public forum on any website and you won't have to hear about it just like people are free to respond to what I have to say about different issues.

Also, there have been a rash of people coming on lately asking for jobs and making similar posts regarding these topics of what they thought the movie should have been.

If everyone had their say in the movie then it would have not been called...
"TRANSFORMERS" a Michael Bay film it would have been called "TRANSFORMERS" a ___________ <------ insert whatevers name here film.

wow, hypocrite anyone? We are bitching you out because your to dead brained to realize that your fantasy will never happen, especially since it's been stated by many people involved in the movie and Hasbro, that he wont turn into a gun....period....so stop championing the idea for the sequel. It's a lost cause and an annoying one at that.

[devonnewberry]

This thread sucks. The situation with Megatron and Hugo Weaving has obviously been settled. No need to continue. Go bitch on IMDb or something.

[sharpie]

"TRANSFORMERS" a Michael Bay film it would have been called "TRANSFORMERS" a complete and utter balls up .

thats what you ussually get when too many people have input.

[The Great]

There is no way they would make any character a gun. You want to know why? because of all the damn restrictions that are placed on toy guns. it wouldn't make any sense. Do you realize how much backlash a movie this big would get from parental groups?

[darthrage]

who said Mr. Bay didn't do Megatron right?

Megatron was done with pure justice, that thing is terrifying!!

[BrettLee]

well the writers did say in an interview (a pod cast to be more accurate) that the decision to make megatron not turn into a gun had nothing to do with pressure from the toy companies or any other outside source. It was an original idea of theirs to change his form because by their logic

.....

.../sigh one sec let me go listen to the pod cast to get an exact word for word for you guys..lol

......

"No we never wanted it to be a gun..." " He was a tank for a draft then we thought because of various logistical problems because we thought he was the most powerful we wanted to give kind of the most...agile and the most sort of lethal form we could think of and that is how that ended up"...

"and the rational we used and its something iv said before that, you know Megatron turning into a gun is the equivalent of Darth Vader turning into his own light saber and having somebody else swing him around.

That is a direct word for word quote from either Robert Orci or Alex Kurtzman. But to be honest, i cant tell their voices apart so not sure which :/.

(below is refering to origonal post at top first page of this thread)
I hate to say it, because I like to be respectful of everybody opinions, but I think this thread is just an example of somebody that doesn’t really know how to translate what’s in a comic or cartoon to actual real life cinema. You cant always stick to close to a comic or cartoon series when adapting to it because a lot of it doesn’t translate well. And its easy to say "he ruined it" because there where changes made to megatron, but if he kept it the same there would be people going "o wow thats cheezy that doesnt work well in real life action form at all". I would personally rather have bad ass and changed from original than cheesy and lame sticking to the original. But maybe I’m wrong; maybe it would have been better the other way. But my "Opinion" is that it was done perfect. And to be honest, i can only think of one part of this film that i really didn’t like. And that’s when the screen went black, the lights came on and some guy said i had to leave because they are cleaning this theater now.

There have also been A LOT of posts on the old site and across the internet of people saying that when megatron turned into a gun in the G1 series he was small enough to fit in a humans hand which is completely wrong!

If that was the case then starscreams hands are as small as a humans or any of the other decepticons too that held megatron, hell, even optimus prime held megatron in gun mode on at least one occasion.

When Spike tried to pick up an autobots gun in the G1 series even he had to stretch his arms all the way out and even then could barely reach the trigger let alone pick it up so I'm not sure where people got that idea from ?

I liked this version of megatron a lot, he was actually pretty scary I thought and the build up to his discovery and release I thought was well done and suspenseful.

If he is to come back then that's cool or they could even remake him into Galvatron! ( A little self promotion never hurts )

In the G1 comics he had the ability to shrink down even smaller to fit in the hands of a human.
