Transformers Movie – Sequel And Cartoon Rumors

by Dru, filed in Movies on Apr.02, 2007

Transformers Movie
The latest Lying In The Gutters article (the popular comics-related rumor column that’s right far more often than not) has a little segment, all the way near the end, titled “ROBOTS IN DIS GUISE” where Rich Johnston has this to report:

“Transformers 2” is being prepped for 2009, as is a new cartoon series to spin off the upcoming movie.

The reason given to licensors as to why the robots look so different in the film is so that hardcore fans will stay loyal and keep buying the old toys, which they’re relaunching, even if they hate the new movie.

Licensing has explicitly stated that companies doing merchandising have to avoid doing anything too similar to the original Transformers line, so as not to mix the two separate and profitable properties.

That last comment is interesting, in that the Transformers Movie and original Transformers are being viewed as separate lines.

Also, gotta love the second statement about “hardcore fans.” Partly because of the businesslike flippancy, partly because of the accuracy.

i think it would be great for us old fans to commemorate what had really happen in the animation rather than the live action movie ” who would believe that jazz will die at the end and starscream went back to cybertron and the others decepticon were no were to be found while there are only five autobots defend the earth and of course only prime had alot of part in the movie while the others are cameos

I actually like the new movie and it was exciting to see it become more than a cartoon. I was suprised that jazz died but I guess sombody had to just like in the cartoon movie in the eighties. I guess that the only thing about any new characters and story lines is that I wanted to see the ark or autobot base, but with megatron being disposed of in the ocean it can set a the next movie uo to the decepticon base being in the ocean like in the old cartoons. Even though it was a good movie it will never replace the feel and the excitement of the original series and movie.

where was soundwave? Laserbeak? Ravage? Rumble? The new story was entertaining but why not stick to the basics. If soundwave is in the next movie he obviously cant be a cassette player. I think he should be a camcorder allowing his little sidekicks to be a 8mm film to eject.

In regards to the movie. Great stiry line and very authentic effects, but when are we going to see other auto bots? And how about this time make more interesting in the battles! Make The Autobots out number the Decepticons. And get the names right! For example I was not to happy when they displayed the name for the Desepticon known as DEVASTATOR in the movie! DEVASTATOR consisted of five robots that merged into one super robot! Come on guys do you remember the cartoon at all?

Actually I do remember the cartoon, Devastator was SIX robots, not five.

But thats no big deal because that robot was supposed to be Brawl, because that was the announced name and the name on the toy. the text on screen was an error/misprint.

There were some holes left in the flick – Nobody said they were gonna “Scrap or slag” anyone, Barricade and Scorponok are left unaccounted for, all those things brought to life when the Allspark triggered them are out there(The truck, XBOX and vending machine), Starscream leaves and Megatron is supposedly dead which they could do a Galvatron angle from in the sequel. Plus did anyone notice how the Nokia phone brought to life in the Sector 7 base had the face of Unicron? All in all it was a fantastic movie for live action and in todays world.
