The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Does anyone prefer the old cartoon version of transformers over the recent tranformers film? Here's one vote for yes.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

I'm not a real big fan of either one, to be honest, and frankly I've only ever seen two episodes of the old show.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Yes

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

I liked the new movie pretty well. I didn't watch the old series much. I will say my fav character, some kind of cat, wasn't in the movie. That was a disappointment.

Who was it, Saber Toothed Tiger? Does anyone know?

I usually prefer live action anyway. This movie was a pleasant surprise. I expected it to suck eggs but it was fun!

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

I wasn't talking about the old episodes, I was talking about the old MOVIE.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

In that case, I still reckon the old movie was better.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

I second your reckon and raise you a wreck. On.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Hell yes. Five good reasons why:

- Shorter running time
- No lame jokes (even Beavis and Butt-head wouldn't laugh at the jokes in the new movie)
- Doesn't waste time on character development
- More use of robots, less use of humans
- '80s kitsch appeal

Old movie? Was it a cartoon movie? I don't remember an old movie.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Yes, it was a cartoon movie.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

I love the Title of this thread.

"The real transformers vs. the new transformers". :cool:

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Dammit mark! I was gonna say the same thing!

Carry on folks, I'm sure my vote is mucho important so I say No, the old Transformers are old and busted. New Transformers? New Hotness. Plus Megan Effing Fox people!?! What the heck is wrong with you people? I don't remember a wet dream like Megan in the old cartoon, movie or otherwise.

EDIT: @ BD I think you're thinking of the Thundercats. Which is also supposed to be getting a movie at some point.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Not all of us like eye candy, PW. Besides, the "new hotness" is cancelled out by the irritating-would-be-an-improvement-for-them human characters.

I also don't care for Megan Fox at all. I watch a Transformers movie for the Transformers.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

In one respect I agree with you and sadly we both know it will most likely never happen. I would love to see a movie with just Transformers in it. Much as I'd love to see a movie with just Aliens Vs. Predators. The human element does nothing for me most of the time in these flicks. But, its a formula that may or may not ever change. Who knows?

I seem to remember the cartoons had the obligatory white kids running around in them too, so I honestly don't "get" why so many think this newest version is somehow slanderous and defamatory to the whole "Transformers universe", but admittedly I liked the movie so maybe I just don't want to see it.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Out of curiosity, have you seen the old Transformers movie?

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

I was just thinking about that and I'm pretty certain that I haven't sat down and seen the whole movie. I'm pretty sure I've caught a fair chunk of it over the years.

Is it really that different from the shows?

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Never really watched the show itself, but I would imagine so.

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

The real Transformers are the 80s cartoons.

The new movie is a hour of pointless cgi and has barely anything in common with the original. Any real transformers fan knows that.

I don't know about "prefer", but I wish the characters followed the cartoon a little bit better (and had more of the original characters like the dinobots!).

Re: The real transformers vs the new transformers
 

Haven't seen the new one, but I really like the old one (I still listen to the soundtrack). Unicron is also an amazing villian and I think he was created for the movie, so without the movie, no unicron. Bleacheddecay, I guess it could be "ravage" you're talking about or maybe one of the later animal/bot combos.
