Transformers

I'm a Transformers fan since child, way back 1984, as time goes by the transformers (Cartoon) not much surface on the TV screen anymore, until this movies roll out, at first though is an all robot affair, well is not, there is real human actor, wow this is great, with Hollywood great graphic effect today, and that another Steven Spielberg way of producer, one can expect a great "wow" in this Transformers movie.

While I was thinking the face or the design of the robot "might" look like in cartoon, but there's alot facelift in the robot itself, YES!!! they are amazing!. and I kind of like the storyline as well, although notice alot of editing has been done to the movie. Whatever is it, is worth to see this movie, whether you are young or old.








The Sequelssss......
On
May 30, 2007, DreamWorks greenlit two sequels to Transformers.Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Peter Cullen are signed on to return. the storyline may introducing the Dinobots, Constructicons, and Soundwave into the movies, and this time expecting Transformers will have a larger role to play.

Some Tit & Bits on Transformers :

Cybertron
Is the home world of the Autobots and Decepticons in the assorted stories in the fictional Transformer Universe.
The capital of Cybertron is the Iacon Hub City and serves as the base of operations for the Autobots. Other cities are Kaon (the Decepticon capital), Perihex, Antihex, Uraya, Polyhex, Vos, Tarn, Nova Cronum, and Crystal City (destroyed).

Optimus Prime
When Optimus Prime arrives on Earth at the same time as Ironhide, Jazz and Ratchet, he scans the new alternate mode of a semi-truck and quickly joins up with Bumblebee, where he meets Sam Witwicky. The Autobots then go with Sam to retrieve his ancestor's glasses, on which a map to the Allspark is engraved. They recover the glasses, but a secret government organization, Sector 7, arrests Sam and his friend, Mikaela, and capture Bumblebee
Before it is discovered Sector 7 also has Megatron hidden under the Hoover Dam, Ironhide questions Prime on why they should protect the humans, seeing them as primitive and violent. Prime replies that the Autobots themselves were not so different from them once, quoting "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings". Before the final battle with Megatron, he says, "By the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall." This is a tribute to the 1986 animated film, in which Optimus Prime delivers the line, "One shall stand, one shall fall." before his final battle with Megatron.

Bumblebee
A spy in autobot, returning to his role as the friend of the Autobots' human ally - in this case, Sam Witwicky Sam possesses the glasses of his great-great-grandfather Captain Archibald a famous explorer. Unknown to Sam, the glasses are engraved with the coordinates showing the location of the life-giving Allspark. Bumblebee is assigned to guard Sam from the Decepticons, and poses as a used 1977 Chevrolet Camaro as Sam and his father are buying a car for Sam. They eventually purchase Bumblebee, due in no small part to Bumblebee damaging every other car at the dealership.

Ironhide
Arriving on Earth at the same time as Optimus Prime, Ironhide's protoform lands in a swimming pool. Ironhide quickly sneaks away to the driveway, scans a family's GMC Topkick pickup truck and reconfigures his alternate mode to a new camouflaged form (though before he does, he is seen by a little girl who believes him to be the tooth fairy) before meeting up with the other Autobots at Bumblebee's location.

Megatron
Leader of Decepticon, he is very nasty, powerful and utterly ruthless kind of robot, while the original Megatron is transforming to a......Gun, in the movie he tansformed into a Cybertronian Jet, while is a good start as the gun look really not that "keng".

Blackout
One of my favourite, Blackout and his partner, Scorponok attack the SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar, making him the first Transformer to be seen active in the film. He is then seen flying through a desert when Starscream rallies the Decepticons. He is seen again during the final battle, where he is destroyed by a squad of Special Operations soldiers (led by Captain Lennox) and a group of F-22's while attempting to attack Optimus Prime from behind. Based on Internet claims.

Starscream

Starscream rallies the other Decepticons to battle when Frenzy alerts them to the Allspark's location. Upon reuniting with Megatron, he is scolded by his leader in a manner reminiscent of his G1 counterpart: "You have failed me yet again, Starscream!". He arrives in time to aid Devastator and Megatron in the final battle and destroys several human vehicles, including three other F-22 Raptors. Starscream is able to conceal himself among the jets in order to ambush them, but eventually retreats from the battle after the F-22 pilots regroup and engage him with their superior numbers. An interlude during the end credits shows Starscream leaving Earth's atmosphere, leaving questions about his role in the future sequel.

Barricade
He is a hunter/scout of the Decepticons, choosing his vehicle mode to easily hide among the humans as a symbol of authority. His persona appears to be that of the cliche "bad cop", as he fiercely interrogates Sam Witwicky once he locates him. At one point, Sam refers to him as 'the insane cop'. His weapons include Gatling cannons and arm-mounted spikes, and he has a compartment in his chest where he stores Frenzy. When in car mode he can simulate the appearance of a human driver, the same holographic model that "pilots" Blackout and Starscream.

Bonecrusher
His feet are wheels, "skating" as opposed to running. His weapons include blades on his forearms, as well as a claw-like scoop at the end of a large telescopic arm. This claw is used in ordnance disposal on Buffalo armored vehicles.
he is touted as a subservient warrior of Megatron who despises all the other Decepticons, and if someone attempts to befriend him, he will have nothing to do with them. The toy's tech spec expands on this aspect by stating that he hates everything including Megatron, but only sticks around because he fears being terminated by his leader.

There's alot to go, well watch the movie mate!!
