I saw an episode of "Beast Wars" today for the first time. I had no idea how bad transformers *could* be until now!

Very worried about this film

There was one series of Beast Wars which was actually really dark and very good. It was set on Cybertron which was completley rulled over by Megatron.

It's great to hear Peter Cullen is in, but it would be fantastic to know if Frank Welker is in too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Welker
Voice of at least half the decepticons.

The first good thing I've heard about his movie. Perhaps I'll go to see it with my eyes closed..

The most political it ever got was with the Republic of Carbombya which was a rouge arab state that was paying Trypticon barrels of oil so that he would steal world famous monuments from around the world.

It was in pretty poor taste.. ha.

ohmygod, it couldn't get any worse then that?? LOL, god knows what ya kids are watching

Carbombya is designed as a pastiche of Middle Eastern tensions that existed in the 1980s. Its name is a play on the term car bomb and Fakkadi's name is intended to invoke that of Libyan dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi. Residents of the country are heard swearing on the lives of their mother's camels, and so forth, in a stereotypical manner.

This did not go over well with longtime voice-over actor Casey Kasem, himself of Lebanese descent (and Druze heritage), who was supposed to provide Teletraan I's voice in "Thief in the Night," which was primarily set in Carbombya. He called for a change in the portrayal of Arab characters--and when no changes were made, he quit the show.

by the way, thought you lads would like to know its just been confirmed that peter cullen , the original voice of optimus prime, is doing the voice of prime in the movie. have to admit this is great news to me, at the very least it'll sound right

no word on frank welker but the buzz seems to be positive so fingers crossed

We know, 8 posts back up

Would be fantastic if they get Frank Welker on board.

And then all we would need is for the guy who voiced Jazz + Orson Welles to do voices from beyond the grave

transformers should be kept to animation because like every single other bloody comic book / animation series film in the past 10 years it will just be another disappointment

Too bad the guy who voiced Starscream is dead as well these days... he was also the original voice for Moe Syzlak.

But someone did a very good copy of his Cobra Commander voice in a recent episode of Robot Chicken.

Chris Latta. He was also the original Monty Burns.

im no good at these links things but theres some footage on youtube concerning the film. its taken from "access hollywood" and features shia leging it from a decep whos scared the feck out of him (pre CGI so you just see him legging it and aload of cars flying out of the way of a pursueing decep) also the end of it shows some concept footage of the TFs themselves in a blink and you'll miss it clip. root it out its not bad (and shia looks really good as spike, alot older than i thought he'd be:D )

edit* jesus i never thought i could edit this, damn site went down again! if you wanna see the footage go to the youtube.com site and put "new transformers movie footage" in the search function. that should give you the access hollywood clip. also when finished put "transformers on mtv" in the search function and it'll give you another clip from mtv (duh) this one mainly concentrates on the human characters and gives you some tit bits on the more military aspects of the film. enjoy!:)

Err, but who are Blackout & Barricade? Can't remember them from the cartoon, or has my memory failed me.

Bumblebee is still a better name than Goldbug which is what he was called after he was rebuit due to being destroyed by Deaths Head.
