its like why do fat middle aged woman hate hooters/strip clubs/anything that makes them look like what they are?
people hate michael bay so they’ll hate on this movie regardless…
SPOILER?
Ok so me and my friends were debating why only a Prime could kill the Fallen. Is this because he is the purest line, so to speak, of transformers whereas others are just created afterward? Why were the old guys so powerful? A watering down? Isn’t megatron a prime too?
Just got back from seeing this and I’m rather disappointed to be honest. Not from the story, but from the action… or lack thereof. I honestly expected a bit more. The first hour and a half was great, but once they teleported to Egypt the whole thing went down hill for me.
I had no problem with the plot, it fits the Transformers universe nicely. I thought the robot vs robot fight scenes were dull during the later portion of the movie. The fight between Optimus Prime and those decepticon brothers was weak. They should have also included more of the other autobots in action, like in the opening sequence.
Dr. Smoov finally posted a new Transformers mash up.
Check out the other videos if you haven’t seen them before. The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime, SOS Wheeljack and Heavy Metal Fight are great, too.
Megan Fox was smoking hot in that movie.

re: Wheelie humping her leg - how could LaBuff not have gone completely mental and shredded that little shit. If that was my girl and some little robot was humping her leg he’d be scrap metal in no time.
Fav Parts
- People skewering each other with laser swords, or ripping heads off. Pretty horrific depiction of death (but good)
- Seeing the constructicons in vehicle form
- Megatron and Starscream having their “normal” relationship
- Megan Fox
- The lecture room FULL of hot chicks
- The dorm FULL of hot chicks
Not so Fav Parts
- the twins
- Devastator - FAIL
- The Fallen (got cleaned out by Prime EASY)
- The stupid politician, dumb storyline and annoying dick of a character
- Jetfire - FAIL
And just a point…in the first movie, Blackout took out an entire military base on his own, and yet in this movie a relatively small force of soldiers with a few autobots, then a small support force of tanks, managed to hold off a whole pile of Decepticons??? I thought that kindof downplayed the transformers actually being very strong.
And here’s another annoying point - they’re defending the “town” in the desert, and the decepticons hit them with a frontal assault??? Not using any of their advantages of being able to transform into cool weapons or anything?? How about flanking anyone???
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
man i hated that politician, when he said the autobots had to go backi was hoping someone in the army would knock him out.
And the last fight of optimus prime was dissapointing, i mean he gets a rocket launcher and that’s the end of the fallen.
Also when laBuff was almost dead from being hit by an explosing, why was megan fox still clean, she ran next to him right?
Saw the movie last night all I have to say it was great. Not only was there a lot of action but there were a lot of very comical parts as well. Between the thong, and the hacker guy with his pants down to his ankles asking for toilet paper it was funny.
Devastator made me sad, but the positives still outweigh the other stuff, really good movie.
More cool T2 stuff.
Anyone else notice the little jeep like hummer that was getting driven around the base.Its called hummer HX and it looks cool.
a
Saw it last night thought it kicked ass. Lots of action and Megan Fox was hot as fuck. By the end of the movie I had mentally fucked her in every way imagineable.
Being young and all, can someone explain to me what exactly was so bad about Devastator? I never followed the animated series/comics, so I don’t know.
SPOILERS
Devastator looking like some poor old bent over reptile like creature was just weird. Totally lost the impact of this great big tall-strong beast of a robot that kicked ass. Plus, he got taken out easy as in the movie; that stupid twin getting sucked up but busting through his mouth? The rail gun taking him out easy?? Devastator is supposed to be the kickass Decepticon that takes on the Dinobots!! Not gets bitchslapped by some stupid midget robot and a human gun.
Just saw the movie…and IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME for the most part.
********SPOILERS BELOW
The I Likeds:
-
Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee must have been training during the last couple years because they were kicking ass all over the place
-
The Autobot vs Decepticon brawls were much cleaner this time. You can actually tell which robot is which as they are fighting. The combat was choreographed very well with smooth transitions from melee to ranged weapons.
-
This movie struck me as being the ‘Top Gun’ for the 2000’s. Bay really put the US Military under a bright spot light and the armed forces gave a great performance. If I was 18 I’d be at the recruiter’s office right now.
-
Big Pretty Explosions
-
All the smoking hot tail just walking around
-
B-1 Bomber. Those things are just beautiful awesomeness.
-
Optimus Prime getting up from being knocked down and shouting, â??I will take you all on!â??
-
Arcee’s bike trio. They needed much more screen time.
-
Megan Fox/Mikaela bagging on Shia LaPoof/Sam with that crack about puberty
The I Did Not Likeds:
-
Shia LaPoof and his similarly gay room mate. How many times in one movie do the male characters have to man up and grow some sack? Why is it impossible for Hollywood to cast strong male lead characters that give the audience something to aspire towards? The 80’s did it with Arnold and Sylvester, we need to get something going in the 2000’s.
-
Arcee’s bike trio got robbed of their screen time by to thug wannabe’s.
-
I can buy that the military has learned how to combat Decepticons more effectively over that past 2 years but does that really mean the Decepticons have to attack like retarded monkeys? If I can be a giant walking robot and a tank or a jet I think I would use that in a fight.
-
Devastator had balls? Really? I think that annoyed me more than Devastator being killed by a MAC round.
-
Stupid purile humor. Look at me I’m eating weed. Look at me I’m wearing a jock strap. Look at me shooting viscous liquid everywhere. and on and on and on it went.
-
Robots are still ugly
-
Sam Witwicky survived. Why couldn’t the little bastard die and stay dead?
-
Mikaela had more brass than the Sam Witwicky and Leo Spitz combined. I think Hollywood is trying to convince the world that its OK to let the women be the “man” of the relationship.

Devastator was the first gestalt/combiner introduced into the Transformers universe. The six Constructicons would combine to form Devastator. The team’s combined form is brutality in its purest form with his sole purpose being to destroy anything and everything that gets in his way. The intelligent Constructicons sacrifice their thinking ability in their combined form making Devastator a being of instinct, lashing out at everything around him before contemplating the consequences. When first introduced in combined form Devastator was the largest Transformer to be seen and the greatest threat to the Autobots. All gestalts/combiners afterwards were merely imitations.
just saw it and thought it was fucking awesome!
SPOILERS!!!
prime kicked ass, he definitely wasn’t fucking around. bumblebee and jetfire were pretty good also, where was the love for ironhide and sideswipe? instead they gave unnecessary time to the twins(seriously? what the fuck). and the way devastator went out was dumb. my other complaint was too much human screen time. hopefully in the next one we’ll see less humans and more transformers. overall pretty damn good movie though.
SPOILER
So the critisism on Devastator is pretty much that he should be a monster transformer instead of a bigass lizard looking thing, and he should be pretty much indestructible?
Well if that’s the case I do have to agree. He gets killed pretty easily (by some faggy cannon), plus all he does is stand there sucking in shit into his mouth…
Even though Michael kinda raped Devastator, you can’t possibly deny that it did looking fucking awesome.
While I really enjoyed the movie, my problem has been holding the movie to the accuracy of the comic series. That just isn’t realistic. With Devastator, in the animated series, you could actually distinguish the 5 different robots that united to make him, rather than it looking like some kind of robotic lizard. The animated Devastator was more “robotic” looking and not so much of a blend of moving metal.
This is a pic from the animated series, maybe you can see what I mean now…

I think Jason Strathom is like the only current actor I can think of as being a badass, strong male role in pretty much every movie I’ve seen him in.
