gunconvoy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 As far as a fourth movie. They will be making it, but Shia Labouf won't be in it, nor Megan Fox. Plus one of my friends told me that the entire transformers franchise will end after the fourth movie. ((( Party time for no Shia or Fox. Also the transformers Franchise will end? hahaahahah, obviously some one does not understand marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus one of my friends told me that the entire transformers franchise will end after the fourth movie. ((( HahahahahahahahahaNo. The very darkest point the franchise has ever seen was in the nineties, after Generation Two bombed without any supporting fiction or interest. And they still revived it under a decade later with Beast Wars, which is to this day considered one of the best examples of a Transformers tv series. And the franchise has been going strong ever since. All the movies did was bring the franchise back to mainstream view. They injected some life, but the franchise was by no means on life support without it. Plus, they're already planning for the potential of a new trilogy kicked off by TF 4. Transformers is one of Hasbro's biggest cash cows. They won't drop it until there isn't a single cent left to be milked from it.And as the nineties showed us, they'll still revive it within a few years when they have a new generation to cater to. The only Predacon I really hope they add in to the show is Grimwing. He's a bit too much like Dreadwing, but hopefully he actually defects to the Autobots. He actually sorta reminds me of Silverbolt or Dinobot. Also, has anyone seen the Go! Combiners? They actually look pretty nice and Brave-ish. I love the look of those Go! combiners. If I find myself with the cash, those will be ordered without hesitation.

Voltex Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Apparently the Bugatti and Stingray are called "Drift" and "Slingshot" respectively, although my sources could be wrong. From the sounds of it both are smartmouths, and Slingshot in particular sounds about as annoying as the twins combined.

Ektris Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yep, just saw that. I was excited about it being Drift, but your description of him as a smartmouth is just so much unlike his other incarnation. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home.

Axilus Prime Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Whoever those two guys are, Optimus looks awesome. It definitely looks upgraded, even though at first I thought it was strange. But I can't really envision a robot mode for this, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta of Time Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I just read it and this is what it had to say. "But one can't help but expect that, even in four-wheeled form, the character will retain his trademark, annoying self-aggrandizement" This is because Slingshot was originally one of the Aerial Bots. And Drift was part of the IDW 2005 reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ektris Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 It was IDW Drift I was thinking about. The super-serious samurai bot.Optimus is interesting, but I would prefer him with more red.Bumblebee's updated form with an older style Camaro is alright I guess. Might be too much black though. :PThere's also now been an ambulance and military vehicle pictured driving around with the other Autobots. Ambulance is almost surely Ratchet, but no clue who the military vehicle could end up being.Aaaaand of course, there's the beat up truck that resembles G1 Optimus' truck mode... That is supposedly a Dinobot?? Yeah, I'm not buying into that one just yet...~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

Axilus Prime Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well, I heard something about some Autobots riding Dinobots into battle at some point. And also, one reason given by the movie team for not including Dinobots was because they'd stick out like a sore thumb, not a very stealthy or logical alt mode. Now, the conclusion I think is most logical is that their robot modes are the dinosaurs, and that is how they always were, and that their alternate modes are the Earth vehicles. Either that, or triple changers. I think that idea's cool. It strays a lot from the usual path, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axilus Prime Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well, by the time those things showed up, stealth from humans was pretty much irrelevant already. And still, there are the robots built for stealth and infiltration, and there are the robots built for killing the slag out of any enemy in their path. The stealth used to ambush, or hide, was still relevant, and that's why ROTF and DOTM still had 'Cons coming out of nowhere and shocking the slag out of everyone. That kind of stealth could be applied to that Dinobot idea. As in a truck is driving in, eh, just another Autobot, oh slag it's a friggin dinosaur nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Ektris Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'd actually really like the truck-to-dinosaur idea, but I know I'd want a robot mode somehow too. And that'd just not work out well. :PAlso, it seems the military vehicle is Hound. That sounds pretty cool to me.~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

Axilus Prime Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 That's like saying Optimus should be a flatnose, and BB should be a Beetle in every incarnation, ever. You can actually recognize Hound by his general build and colors, and a jeep looks rather silly to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly saying he should be a small military type vehicle. Hound has always been small.

Wotz Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yeah, and Bumblebee was the size of a human back in the cartoon days, but now he's as big as a house. Hound hasn't exactly appeared in like, any franchise other than G1 so you can't really say he must be small. The only thing that usually manages to carry over between incarnations of characters is their colour schemes, and even then they barely remain the same. I mean, admit it, that green truck looks pretty darn cool. The changes they make to the characters is something that I always want to see - they are Transformers, after all.

Ektris Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 While I don't think Hound was necessarily a favorite character of many, having him over a soon-to-be-oversaturated-in-presence Bulkhead doesn't sound all that bad. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T...

Ektris Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That's why I said soon-to-be. It feels like he's becoming too prominent for such a recent character.

Makaru Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Whoops, I forgot to add context. My response was mostly to how Bay would portray him, NOT him being selected over anyone else. Also, I too could do with a little less 'bee. The whole radio-talk thing always seemed dumb to me. I think we need buddy-cop versions of Prowl and Nightbeat.

I guess my view just has to do with the only hound I have being a tiny off road vehicle, and I like this figure quite a bit. plus it came with ravage. But for some reason, I never had a problem with bumblebee being a camaro...
