How the Transformers should have looked:

Here are a couple of youtube videos showing Optimus Prime transforming. Both are amature or at least semi-professional but do a much better job of conveying the original designs while also taking them into the present day. We really don't need to see bitty twisted metal and 'Prime having a moving mouth. Anyway, judge for yourself.

When the first one came out on the internet, people thought it was a test shot for the upcoming Michael Bay movies. Much excitement ensued. This, however, was not to be...





Already the poor reviews are coming in. Good, we're glad. Can't someone just grow some balls and take the ORIGINAL idea, love it, and make it come alive with an ACTUAL story and have the robots act and perform and take center stage instead of letting hot young actors interface with the audience?!

Ghostbusters III ready for ruin?

Don't cross the streams. That phrase has made its way into our collective conscious as a term for never mixing two elements together that don't belong together. I can't think of a better example of this than Ghostbusters - one of our favourite childhood movie franchises - combined with the recent Hollywood new-wave remake disease that we're all familiar with.

At first it was like: Wot!? Ghostbusters Three? Wow, imagine if it was the original cast... Oh, it is?? SWEET!

Then it was like:
"There'll be a whole new generation that has to be trained and a leader that you'll all love when you meet her," says Aykroyd. "There'll be lots of cadets, boys and girls who'll be learning how to use the neuron splitter and the inter-planet interceptor - new tools to enable them to slip from dimension to dimension." (Taken from the Guardian web site)

Sooo... yet another female heroin (who probably knows Kung-Fu), an 'inter dimensional tool', cadets?? All we can say is... childhood, prepare to be raped.

Michael Bay hates the original Transformers...

This is an exert from the news blog section of the michaelbay.com site regarding his thoughts on making the new films:

So it was the narrative already contained in the toys that drew you in?
Right. But the thing was, you would think I would watch the movies and the cartoons. I couldn’t. I would get 10 minutes into the movie and I wanted to just shoot myself. O.K., I’m dead serious. And all these people on the Internet saying, “Michael Bay, you wrecked my childhood and blah blah blah.” I’m like, Are you kidding me? Your childhood couldn’t have been that great, watching those cartoons. [laughs] You’re remembering something a lot sweeter than it really was.

This kind of proves that such a person isn't really cut out to take a franchise like this and continue it. It's quite a good example of how, in order to make the films, some degree of butchery is going to be involved, seeing as he literally can't stand the original.

We at RMC.com loved the original Transformers Movie. Perhaps one day a REAL remake will emerge?

Bay gets a trophy...yay!

"Koujin Ohno–who is credited with inventing Transformers as we now know them–gave Michael an Optmus Prime statue to show his appreciation with what Michael has done for the franchise."

We at RMC.com feel the award would convey the sentiment better if it depicted the new transformer taking the original one from behind.
