    Megan Fox, The no-makeup face isnt an issue to me
    Her being Brian Austin Green's main squeeze isnt a bother really
    Her bad skin doesnt bother me
    Her lack of true intelligence doesnt bother me

    Only the tattoos do. Huge turnoff

    Close..


    Silverbolt did have issues with heights..

    and he did transform into a jet..

    But not an air craft carrier.. he was strictly an Aerial Bot and didn't whine about his fear.

    The only thing wrong with her tats are that they are dumb. That quote about gilded butterflies on her back, WTF? I think she got another one of Monroe too.

    The transformation sound is in there everytime they transform, which I thought was pretty sweet. Actually when they were dropping them into the ocean at the end, I had a flash back to the G1 Decepticon original home base, which was at the bottom of the ocean. I expect Megatron to be back in a some new earth form, would be intresting to see what they change him to.

    As for the allspark, I have no idea where it came from but it wasn't pulled from the G1 Cartoon as far as I can remember, never followed any of the other series or read any of the comics, aside from the Dreamwave stuff that came out a few years ago

    I saw this movie on bootleg video last night. it wasn't that good other than the robots. it wasn't that true to the cartoon other than the exchange between megatron and starscream, "once again you've failed me starscream" haha.

    Megatron, in gun form, looks like an actual gun from a distance. now all gun form Megatrons must have an orange cap attached to him to distinguish it from a real gun. you'll never see one developed w/o the cap from now on.

    Those that are imported are required to have the orange cap on them though

    it was interesting watching this with my wife last night, someone who didn't watch the transformers. she had no idea what was going on, if you want some perspective on how poor plot and character development is in this movie, watch it with someone who didn't watch transformers as a kid. they'll be asking, "who is that, why doesn't he like him" etc.

    Was there anything in the credits after StarScream left the planet? Didn't feel like sticking around any longer.

    Yeah that is the original one and from far away it look quite a bit like a real gun since it chromed, the robot mode sucked major balls though

    there is a re-issue from japan that goes for 125 at most collector shows. the robot does look terrible for it. very skinny legs, trigger looks funky on him, but i guess there is only so much one can do realistically.

    my friend had megatron growing up and I remember he got in trouble when we were in 3rd grade because he brought the toy to school

    That was quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Great special effects and very entertaining, but I might have to completely give up on Michael Bay movies.

    How can it be one of the worse movies of all time and very entertaining at the same time?

    My wife never watched Transformers and didn't have a hard time keeping up. It's actually pretty simple, when you think about it.

    Robots that were all silver colored = bad
    Robots with color = good

    Took my parents, both in their 60's and with no experiance with Tformers before aside from buying the toys for me, when I first saw the movie and they had no problems keeping track either, they actually had a ball watching the movie.
