Robert Sanchez, editor of The Movie Reporter, a Web site that covers entertainment, claims to have gotten his hands on the film's script and reveals a few more new Transformers that may make it into the movie.

"I almost forgot to mention one of the most stupid scenes in the script," he writes on the site. "For reasons that I won't get into, we see an iPod, Xbox 360, and plasma screens sprout legs and transform just a bit." It's unclear whether the Xbox 360 Transformer is an Autobot or Decepticon.

I don't remember Transformers very well, so they're only mildly raping my childhood.

An Xbox360 transformer? Hmmm, I can see that. He transforms into his robot form to fight the Decepticons, only to have the red ring of death start instantly start flashing, and he subsequently shuts down.

What's the next craptastic change from Uwe Boll... ermm Michael Bay?
"Starscream, to properly represent the horrors of war and the industrial-military complex will no longer be a fighterjet. Instead he will be a broom handle, like the ones at Guantanamo Bay."

*grumbles something about bastards raping his childhood*

TROLL.

Stupid, stupid writers. Then again, the original had a boom box transformer...

[Mefustae]

TROLL.

*Flips DB the bird*

[NGTM-1R]

Ah, yet more urinating upon the ashes of my childhood...

I don't believe it for a moment. From what I heard Megatron is now a tank precisely because they didn't want to do that whole getting bigger/smaller thing when transforming.

So why do that and then make other things do it?

[starbug]

i thought that Megatron was changed to a tank because of something to do with the fact that its wrong to have him as i gun now(thats what i heard), just like the fact that Hasbro can't re-release the G1 meg because he turns into a gun. but a tank makes more sense than an Alien ship

Anyway i am looking forward to the film, big fan of the originals, and the film is supposed to have some of the original cast in it.

I can't believe you people.

It's a goddamn transformers live-action movie. OF COURSE IT WAS GOING TO SUCK.

it could be worse.

[BlackDove]

It is.

[Turnsky]

It is.

no, i mean it could be worse, as in uwe boll could be directing.

How, exactly, is he a troll? Last I heard, jokes were still permitted on HLP.

Two words - "The Island".


Michael Bay directed that as well. I would have thought the trashing the movie got for ridiculously excessive product placement would have taught him a lesson, but apparently not.

What? They did this:



I think this Transformers BS is well within thier powerl.

Yep, the X-box could transform into Master Chief, but the fan outcry would be too great if he got stepped on.

It's not the stupidity of the idea that I don't believe. It's that Transformers who changed into things that were really small like Megatron and Soundwave were deliberately reconfigured to make them into something else. Which makes it hard to believe that after doing that they'd then do a 360 (in both senses of that sentence )

[Flipside]

I'm wondering if it's some kind of beam that converts ordinary machines into an army of 'Semi-Transformers' (The article states '.....an iPod, Xbox 360, and plasma screens sprout legs and transform just a bit.')?

[karajorma]

Well the Ark did have that capablity. Why on Earth it would be using it on an Xbox is anyones guess.
