I still find it unbelievable that Michael Bay is directing a hollywood movie of the transformers….I mean the toys sucked and yet they still were a millions times better then the cartoon…in fact the best toy transformer was a rip of off a robotec fighter….why don’t they make a robotec movie…hell there actually was a good story, characters, ideas in that show.
I will see the movie if only for the sureal factor…that and it is garanteed to be better then the original.
