That was 5 from 6 mins wasted from my life.. The pics below in that thread.. Like griffin said look very omega supreme. Looks like the building in the back is his head..

But rest assured I'm sure Michael bay will make a mess of this movie as well. Yes I'm a hater and all the movies have been shit.

that arched building at the back at the start of the video just reminds me more of the Legion of doom headquarters . The yellow and cream building does have an Omega vibe to it that but has a Trypticon shape to it though.

This has been around for a while, but for those who may not know, the Japanese title will be Transformers: Lost Age.

But rest assured I'm sure Michael bay will make a mess of this movie as well. Yes I'm a hater and all the movies have been shit.

The first movie was alright. It captured the spirit of the G1 cartoon reasonably well, keeping in mind that the G1 cartoon was never a terribly in-depth story, unlike say the G1 Marvel comics. Although there were some elements from the movie that drew from the comics too -- Sam Witwicky and his more similar to Buster Witwicky than Spike from the cartoon (re: high school boy who brings Bumblebee home, as opposed to a post-school youth already working in an oil rig who's rescued (along w/ his father) by Optimus Prime).

Revenge of the Fallen was a complete mess of a story, no doubt's there. Dark of the Moon was a significant improvement over ROTF (though admittedly that's not hard ), and had some really interesting story elements (e.g. NASA/Moon missions, Sentinel Prime's betrayal etc.). But ultimately none of the movies are great and really lack this thing called character-drive! They tend to be more like "The Adventures of Sam Witwicky and his Robot Buddies," instead of allowing the Transformers to become the core characters. The Autobots are more too often accessories for Sam (or NEST). <sigh>

This is what was so great about Beast Wars... no stinking humans so the story had to solely focus on the Transformers as characters (and it did so spectacularly well! ).

Apparently all (planned) filming has now been done. The movie is now in the post-production stage.

Revenge of the Fallen was a complete mess of a story

Not defending Revenge of the Fallen as they should of waited but due to the writers strike it was made on about 40 pages of script. I have a copy of the leaked script for the first movie (titled Prime Directive) and its around 160pages long.

Plus there were extra things like Cheverolet wanting the volt in the movie so they had to create Jolt and throw him in there.

Overall they should of taken a big step back and waited but ultimately they were trying to cash in on the success of the first movie.
