Look how big the F-22 is compared to that Peterbilt. If "realism" was stuck to Starscream would have been big enough in robot mode to make Prime into a small cube of scrap.
If they'd maintained his G1 transformation and proportions, most certainly. Movie Starscream's wide body and raptor legs help absorb some of his mass, but they still cheated him down in size a little.
 
I saw the first 5 episodes and thought it looked like it was made on a PS2...
What were you watching, some cellphone-recorded bootleg bittorrent copy? There's nothing wrong with the show's CGI, and I'd be surprised if there's a better looking kids show on tv today; to say the quality was PS2-level when the PS3 couldn't even match the show's graphics makes your comments suspect.

...and that the robot designs were too influenced by Bayformers.
Oh, nevermind. I see where this is going.
 
BCM, there are alot of copies of prime on the interwebs that look like ____. go download some of the higher- resolution episodes, and give it another chance.

and yes, the bayformer influence IS there, but the Prime designs have A bit of g1 going on as well... it's kinda a hybrid design of the two.

and i prefer the prime designs a thousand times more than the bayformer ones.
 
haha the review posted a few pages back (or was thast on TFW???) the guys said it took him 6hrs to build. what's your timing so far, Elder?
 
Well I was at an hour, but my PC doesn't have enough room to do it. So I think I am done filming and will just finish the build. :lol I am so sad now. Also, I am only on step 10 out of 34 I think.

I perhaps didn't download a decent copy then :dunno

Of the 5 episodes of Prime I saw I liked Ratchet's design but everyone else was meh.....good thing really as the lack of intrest in any toys from the series means more 3rd party stuff for me! :)
 
this looks a lot more G1

Yep, such an improvement cant wait to get him.

I've heard that argument going back to the early X-Men films, and never really agreed with it. It seems like some are willing to accept a certain level of ridiculousness, but not others, and the line seems very arbitrary to me. Cars that turn into robots are OK, and the robots are fine as long as they are big messy jumbles of wires. It would be silly if they looked more simplistic and aesthetically pleasing. Jets can turn into robots, but if they are bold colors than it would be silly. John Turturro can get "pissed on by" Bumblebee and no one cares. . .I guess that's not silly at all.

I guess it all depends on if you like the movie designs or not.
Personally i think the movie designs are very well done and suit the real world setting perfectly.
Anyone who cant tell them apart needs glasses or should actually pay attention to what they are looking at instead of whining that its the designs/film makers fault as i never had any trouble deciphering who's who.
Then again, its much easier to just jump on the idiotic Bay hate bandwagon isnt it? :cuckoo: :rolleyes2

I could't pass up the chance to custom paint this bad boy (DMK01 Prime)

Cant wait to see that!

i myself cant get into any 3rd party stuff. they often look nice, but it has to say Hasbro or Takara on there to get my monies

My only loyalty is to the people making stuff I want to buy.

There are no official alternatives to things like iGears Ironhide, Ratchet and Impactor or the TFC Devastator so the 3rd parties get my cash.

No, it has to do with subjective orientation. I think the Bay designs are silly, and certainly no less silly than G1 designs would be the screen. You seem to be justifying everything from these movies as looking realistic and reasonable without being critical. Transforming robots is a silly idea, and they will necessarily look silly no matter what.

As for the name calling, I thought we were through with that. . .please do not persist. If you can't make a point without resorting to that, then don't post.

Jesus dude you need to get over yourself! I didnt call you a name, i made a passing comment about how the anti bay hate thing is an idiotic thing to do. Theres a huge difference between calling someone an idiot and just stating how idiotic something is.
Get with the program, sheesh.

glad to hear I'm not the only one who actually likes the movies and their designs. I love G1 as much as any TF fan. after all, like most, it's what I grew up with. but i don't let that stop me from enjoying what's attractive to today's audiences. I'm proabably one of the few fans who are happy that a TF movie was made and I think it was made in probably the best and most realistic way possible

Use whatever fractured logic you want to and call it what you will, but do it again and you will be infracted.

qft. Its not only what is attractive to todays audiences, its also what works in the 21st century. Outdated 80's designs would never work in a movie made today.
If they did, then why isnt TF: Prime using G1 designs? Why didnt the atrocious TF:A use G1 designs?
Same goes for every tf show/comic/whatever.

Its not fractured logic, its truth but whatever. If your gonna be like that though, i request that you dont talk to me anymore. I got nothing to say to people like you.

You can put me on "ignore" if it bothers you to see my posts, but you need to reign it in one way or the other. Folks are expected to behave in a civil manner around here, and you are not doing that at the moment.
