[Seanith]

don't know if i would trust "consumption junction"

[Khyron]

I've heard rumors of a "live/cgi" looking transformer movie but haven't seen any evidence - nothing on imdb, no script/director comments. Maybe it's all just a joke from Consumption teasing all us transformer nerds. :dunno:

Starscream - played by Antonio Bandaras.

Hrm, maybe it is legit:

'Transformers' Rolling Out in Live-Action Film
Wed Jun 11, 1:54 AM ET Add Movies - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Chris Gardner

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "The Transformers" -- the ever-morphing Hasbro toy line that spawned comic books, TV series and an animated feature -- are ready to change shape again, this time into live-action stars of the big screen.

Angry Films chief Don Murphy (whose next film is "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and writer-producer Tom DeSanto ("X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United") have teamed to produce a feature-length, live-action movie based on the popular brand.

The duo are expected to shop the project to studios shortly, and DeSanto said they have already received interest from a handful of directors.

DeSanto is currently working on a story treatment for the project before he and Murphy hire a screenwriter to adapt it for the big screen.

"Transformers enjoys an amazing fan base worldwide, and we believe that we can create an incredibly fast-paced, exciting movie that will be appealing to anyone who loves action films," Murphy said in a statement.

Added DeSanto: "Transformers is one of the properties I have been infatuated with for a long time. Like 'X-Men,' Transformers offers an amazing mythology with all the elements to create a successful ongoing franchise, iconic characters, global themes and a world that has never been seen before onscreen."

Introduced in the mid-1980s, the Transformers brand centers on a group of robots that are able to change into a variety of objects, such as cars, trucks, planes, ships and other technological creations.

The feature film will tell the story of an intergalactic war between two races of robots: the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. When their fight comes to Earth, the future of humanity inevitably hangs in the balance.

"We loved the creative take that Tom and Don presented to us," said Jane Ritson-Parsons, president of the Hasbro Properties Group. "And for Hasbro, the center of our corporate strategy is extending our core brands in a variety of entertainment forms ... This is a franchise where the next story arc and the next destination is on the big screen."

The Transformers was introduced in the United States by Hasbro in 1984 as a boy-friendly toy line. But even though the brand has been around awhile, it enjoys continued success, with sales up 64% in 2002 over 2001, according to Hasbro.

Currently, they can be seen seven times a week via the series "Transformers Armada" on the Cartoon Network. According to Hasbro, additional television programs and comic books are on the schedule for 2004.

The only time Transformers came to the big screen was in 1986 with the animated feature "The Transformers: The Movie."

[civiclvr]

Sweet there's transformers fans here?? thought i was the only one (other than Phats) the movie has been reported in the pre-production phase which means that it might/might not happen. could get scrapped and that would suck! can't wait for it. the photo must be a fan as the 2005 date was when the transformers original movie was to take place! lol and now to go watch the dvd's and get my old omega supreme out!! they don't make toys like they used to!

[The EquAzn]

That is a freaking long ass wait... I can't wait!! Do you know a website I can go to for more info?

They've probably done it in Japan already, kinda like that Street Fighter movie.

[l/l/rX]

ive lost all my old transformers toys when I was a kid moving from hk to canada. So I didnt start collecting them again till I have a job around when Beast war came out and now the new armada which I am hoping to collect everyone of them so far I have a complete set from wave 1 to wave.. 5 maybe? but dang, if you check the website they have sooo many coming out.

Im so broke... hmm modz or toyz... modz or toyz.. aaaah

anyways here is a quick snap of what I have as of last year..

[l/l/rX]

HOLY MUTHER F#*%$@# that is one huge collection. my collection is not even worth mentioning compared to yours enoch :O :O :O

[l/l/rX]

well seeing how i kind of jacked your thread, i'll try to get it bak on topic... which transformer movie did you guys like best? heh, i dont know the names of any of them, but the one where optimus prime dies and megatron and his crew turn into better transformers, and he kills starscream. it was frickin sweet.

i forgot alot of the names it sucks ahaha.

[Khyron]

hmmm are you sure? theres a whole bunch of series you can rent.....i had a whole bunch of them. if you go to house of video they have like 5 er so movies there....

[civiclvr]

lol they rent out the episodes but my opinion is to buy the season box sets.. i got them and they RULE!!! lol nice collection silva rex.... i think my collections is around the same size.... except i didn't collect many Beast Machines ones... wasn't too happy with them!! lol if i had a scanner or a digi cam i would snap a pic or two! i do have around 30ish original ones (can't beat the originals) as for the Movie bit.. there was more movies released... Not in North America though (called the Zone and Scramble City) there was also a beast wars Neo and beast wars 2 movie... all in Japan.. but there are plans to send them out here and dub them! whoo hoo. lol

[szw]

shiet i started collecting beastwars when they came out! This is after I realized how much money the old transformers went for and I lost/broke most of those!

I found megatron the other day...cept he's missing some parts haha

[ScCab]

[NoFlo]

Wow! They actually reissued more than Optimus/Magnus/Rodimus!
I think I'll get a Prowl, a Red Alert and a Jazz. Silverstreak looks just like Bluestreak did, except he's silver. :D

[l/l/rX]

i have that inferno guy. i thought he sucks shit ahaha. soo hes in a pile with other toys. not my transformer pile lol. i have that optimus prime, cept his trailer thingy is black. i want that power master one though. looks interesting... :D

edit: ooo that power master optimus is very cool indeed lol. transforms from double semi thingy, into a battle station into the robot. :clap: :bigpimp:

[Khyron]

Did I miss Jazz, or is he still to come?

Khyron

[civiclvr]

Jazz Came out already!!! wave 3 u can pick him up on ebay for like 30 bucks! so far we've had wave 1: optimus prime, Ultra Magnus, hot Rod (renamed rodimus major due to idiots at Hasbro)
wave 2: Starscream and powermaster optimus(this optimus hasnt made it to Canada yet... apparently being shipped now keep eyes peeled but hey i have the original still LOL!) wave 3: Jazz, thundercracker and silverstreak (originally bluestreak but same prob as hot rod they forgot to copyright the name.. idiots. and now wave 4: skywarp, red alert and prowl!! that's all so far i got all the reissues so far (spare starscream too!) lol
l/l/rX if the trailer was black then that is the generation 2 optimus!
and for all that care only the wave 4 ones are left on shelves canada wide.. the rest are gone... of wave 4 skywarp was the shortpacked one and will be worth the most good luck and let me know if you see the powermaster reissue b4 i do! lol i need a spare/ extra parts! lol any other TF info u need let me know...

[Khyron]

Dammit need Jazz - argh.
