Transmorphers: Fall of Man -- the trailer is finally here!!!

[Newski]

Sad thing is, Transmorphers was vastly superior to Transformers.... So I don't see how this will be any different.

I would like to point something out to the Bay Transformers bashers

Um unless Bay uses

- Fatass Galvatron

- space bunnies

- Optimus Prime the self-sacrificing even when the plot device that can fix the situation WITHOUT his dying is in the same room RIGHT FRAKKIN NEXT TO HIM! leader

- Optimus Prime being resurrected by the power of Kissing

- Galvatron dying by the power of holding hands in a circle.

- Megatron etting a new paint job then calling himself Galvatron WITHOUT any kind of noticable upgrade

- Super deformed Beast Wars characters

- Megatron turning to Galvatron then going back to Megatron then going back to Galvatron then going back to Megatron then going back to Galvatron

- Pokemonlike robot minions

I would give him some slack.

I have no idea what you are talking about. You know why? I'm not a Transformers fan. I barely remember the show. All I know is, it's a movie about Giant Robots where Giant Robots really don't do jack crap, and it's a two hours plus of men in uniforms shooting up, running, and yelling.

He also seems to think that Fire Trucks that turn into Superpowered robots is serious businessness. There is no way that could EVER be serious business.

I wanted nothing more than massive city destruction and Robots fighting eachother. I left unsatisfied.

^ Yet you're a fan of Transmorphers.

Yeah. Because it made me laugh. It had all these "So bad it's good" qualities that Transformers didn't have. The Bad Acting, the Special Effects, ect......

Do they really think somone is going to walk down some obscure aisle in their video store, encounter "Transmorphers" and think it's that neat movie they saw a trailer for last week in "Land of the Lost" that has Megan Fox and Shia LeButtfuck in it? "Wow! I thought it was coming out in theaters in late June! But here it is in [video store that carries obscure titles]!"

I worked at Blockbuster video during the summer when Transformers came out.

Sure enough, there was a little kid and I believe his parent asking if Transformers was out to rent yet. I asked if they meant the cartoon, but the kid was referring to the live action movie. I explained it was still in theaters and won't be on DVD for a while.

My point is that there are people out there that don't realize that a movie in theaters means it is not in the video store.

The Asylum smartly/cunningly/evilly (take your pick) takes advantage of that.

It's amazing how stupid or clueless people can be. Scary especially when they reproduce.

I'm surprised they got away with "The Terminators". Strictly speaking it is indeed not the same title; but it's only a plural of the original title. Remember Alien / Aliens.

In fairness, maybe the parents just don't care about movies and didn't pay attention to it or had no idea with what the kid was talking about wanting to see.

Kids, however, are dumb.

Supposedly, they did have a Trek rip-off lined up, but it mysteriously was taken off their schedule. If this is true, I suspect Paramount legal department came a knocking.

And yet "This Ain't Star Trek," "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda," and "Babylon 5" were allowed to continue...

A poster here a while back who thought The Asylum was making a Star Trek ripoff said it turned out that it's actually being made by Halycon, the studio of such illustrious blockbusters as Metal Man and The Black Knight Returns:

I looked that up - nice ship. I'd see a rendering of it at one of the CG-oriented sites, with no identification.

Aside from the question of who, if anyone, owns that TOS font there's nothing in the trailer that Paramount could make a case out of.

An angel is killed every time someone buys a movie made by The Asylum.

So, uh, where do angels go when they die?

I don't know, but it sounds like the slug line from an Asylum produced movie to me.

good lord, who is that Bmovie Chris Pine, and why does the set of the bridge actually look ok? but over all ive seen better trailers for Star Trek fanfilms.

MINE! Mine, mine, mine, mine!



StarQuest actually looks more like a repurposed fan film than even a low-budget "professional" movie. Since I do things like this for fun and am in the middle of one right now, I find stuff like StarQuest pretty fascinating, really - amazed that it's done at all, never mind how well...
