Your demands for ROTF

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

If it leads to an actual interpretation of The Fallen--fire and all--then excellent. But it probably won't.

Who are you, also?
Unicrunch of old. Decided to go with the handle I use in most other places these days. Was that a bad move?

I need to get around to getting an avatar and quotes and stuff, haven't had time yet.

Really hope it doesn't have anything to do with The Fallen at all, myself. I like Fallen simply for being ridiculous, he's a demonic steampunk furnace robot, and he's on fire for no apparent reason, but as an EPIC and AWESOME character/plot device, he falls flatter than his name. Keep the pseudomysticism to a minimum.

Yeah, The Fallen is definitely the closest TF ever came to topping GI joe in terms of hilariously ridiculous characters that take themselves way too seriously. Fallen's almost Serpentor level...

Ooh, I thought of something I want to see in the movie, but probably won't be there: Incinerator. Pweeeeeaaaaaaaase Mister Bay?

I have but two demands, Michael of Bay!

1) The title be changed to "Rise of the Fallen" which works on *a* level, let alone two; unlike "Revenge of the Fallen" which is beyond purple prose. Jesus.

2) Characterisation of the robots therein. Preferably through dialogue and easily discernible action sequences. Think ya can handle that, Mikeyyy...?

I like to imagine a Movie-aesthetic gestalt toy. It doesn't fall apart in my hands or anything!

I ask for a different name.
It seriously is.
Obviously it's not gonna involve the dude from War Within. It probably refers to Megatron.

They may also bring back other characters, like Brawl and such.


I just want a good movie. Of course, if we get good comics, a good soundtrack, and good toys, I will call it a win.

I want more robots and less people. Although I generally liked the human characters we got in the first movie, but they're not who I'm going to see. I'd like to see every Decepticon get at least two lines of character-revealing dialogue too. In English. :mrgreen:

I am pretty sure Bay is not going to change that editing style of his.

Look at it this way, even if the scenes are choppy, at least they made it into the movie, unlike say......Barricade's death, which Bay forgot to film and/or put into the final cut.

But, yeah, better editing would be nice.

But that's a good thing, because it means Barricade can be put in the second movie, something I'm happy about. It does invalidate all the movie adaptions that depict Barricade being killed, but that just supports my position that only the original story in it's original medium is canon. Everything else is apocrypha. Keeps things simple.

And, it was hardly the sloppiest thing in the movie. (How about the Autobots just leaving all those "spark-spawn" unaccounted for?)

"Reign of Starscream" has Barricade injured, but alive after the movie. Of course, his injuries also contradict the adaptations.
