- dpcdomino, on 10/12/2007, -11/+120Well at least Optimus can make airplane sounds now. b--b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b
- drethedog, on 10/12/2007, -6/+79"MY NAME IS OPTIMUS PRIME!" coming out of tiny little lips.......
- dogearedboy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+80Yes, he'd need a mouthplate protect his teeeny widdle wips.
- wolferz, on 10/12/2007, -16/+79What the hell does it matter? My GOD... Scrapping the bottom of the barrel for an excuse to dislike the movie are we? Part of a characters face being independently movable from he rest of it has ruined this movie... riiiiiiiight...
- Matrix_Prime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+59the character has lips, AND has a mouthplate as well. the mouthplate is for battle.
- mattw, on 10/12/2007, -20/+77Exactly, my first thought was WHO ***** CARES!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+60he derives much of his power from his lips.
- dmason, on 10/12/2007, -16/+62I don't really mind the lips. Not a big deal. This movie is going to kick ass.
- AJCinATX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+45OMG! Did anyone else notice that Optimus Prime has pointy knees???1? I would not hit it.
- BigDane, on 10/12/2007, -9/+46As Eric Cartman states, "Job has all his children killed, and Michael Bay gets to keep making movies. There isn't a God." or... from Team America "I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark when he made Pearl Harbor"
- Harbinger67, on 10/12/2007, -10/+45Holy crap, get over it, they're freaking lips. If your childhood memories are so easily shattered by one small thing, I think you should really see a shrink.
- whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -3/+37@cliph
Now that I've seen the pic, I have to say it's not so bad. It really jumps out at first but after that you just kind of get used to it. And the rest of the design is perfect. - SpectralSounds, on 10/12/2007, -9/+39Of course he has lips, hollywood just loves to cater to the ultra stupid. If he didnt have lips, you would have idiots in the theatre screaming, "Who just said that!? yo, whose talkin, what did he say!?"
- wierdaaron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Transformers have always had lips. G1, Beast Wars, everything. The look we're all used to is just the battle masks they usually wore because it's a lot easier to animate a non-moving robot face than one with moving lips.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32At least its those kind of lips.
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24I didn't know The Rolling Stones were tranformers.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23wuang?
- kavery, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21I'd be more concerned if they had huge robotic *****.
- akira117, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24In this 80's version he had lips too, so this totally don't matter.

Loved the video, this movie is gonna rock :D - BigDane, on 10/12/2007, -11/+29that is so ***** weak... why does Michael Bay get to keep making movies? WHY?
- DanmanD87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15@bigdane
That wasn't Cartman, it was Kyle when he had a hemorrhoid when Cartman got his own theme park - titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -9/+23Michael Bay just raped my childhood memories with a 12 foot metal pole.
- CourtesyFlush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14As long as he doesn't LICK them seductively.....I think I'll get through it all somehow.
- uncleboogie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Jesus Michael Bay. Please say something racist, so you will be fired.
- Zreitan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15***** stupid people...we all know robots technologically advanced enough to fight each other and turn into cars CANNOT have moving lips... it just breaks some kind of ***** rule that all geeks decided on 30 years ago...
- ronaldst, on 10/12/2007, -9/+20Deep down, you all know this film is going to be crappy.
- wierdaaron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Megatron had teeth for crissakes.
http://www.airmagination.com/megatron_shirt.jpg - Ogedei, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15What the *****.
He raped my childhood memories blah blah blah.
Lips on robots is stupid. blah blah blah
Robots can't have lips blah blah blah.
Megatron had lips in the original series
Starscream? he had lips too.
Maybe it's just the lame ass autobots with their low tech that can't figure lips out.
Either way, putting them in THIS movie is not out of place as they were very CLEARLY in the original series.
Raped my childhood. ***** give it up, you don't even remember it.
Og. - barkeep8, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15I put on my robe and my wizard hat...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12@zatrix
what about the terminator? - h2ogun99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8That IS a fake! Watch as the speaking scene closely...
1. They are not looking him in the "eyes"
2. How could he crouch to that level?
3. The "property of dreamworks" disappears when that scene occurs. - Corinthos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I am going into this movie not expecting much. That way maybe it will surprise me.
- skankyBacon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Thank you...I don't know what the hell was wrong with that page, but both Firefox and IE shat themselves when I tried to view it.
- bobdobolena, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think all geeks require lips on robots. Isn't that the basic premise of the movie/wierd ass TV series "Weird Science" Was she a robot?
- DIAF, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8better : http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/
- WatsonFilms, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I find it strange just how petty some people can be. Condemning any possibility of the movie being good based solely on the main character having small, barely noticeable lips? Why even get worked up about something like this?
- Zreitan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6my god...he's right... i completely forgot, the newest transformers cartoons i do believe dont have lips though.
it somehow "feels" better to not see their lips moving. - patientXero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7OK so the lips are a little strange on a robot. . .
But, Prime's voice sounds f-ing AWESOME! - InfinitySnatch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I thought everyone knew he had a mouth under that face-mask. Didn't they? At least the Optimus Primal in Beast Wars did.
- davecor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I guess some of the basement dwelling weenies KNOW what a giant humanoid robot from another planet SHOULD look like...
- psbpv3o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5World news is too upsetting. Complaining about this ***** makes our lives so much more pleasantly miserable.
- DIAF, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6what the hell. What a turd of a website. Either you guys broke it, or have magical browsers capable of sorting through that blog BS.
Anyone have a link to the video? - Kamill85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Trailer + player here:
http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http://host143.ipowerweb.com/~inlandem/newvideo/flash/optimus_speaks.flv
Direct video link:

- megafauna, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Oh Rocky!1!!1!!!!!
- Ryuukuro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I don't care how many moot points they get wrong or screw up. At the very least the original voice actor will be doing Optimus. And if the movie sucks, so what? If it's bad it will be because of poor plot/direction/acting/all three, not because they didn't follow every frickin' little detail of the Transformers universe.
And there's all sorts of toys and cartoons already. The movie is just one little thing to get mixed into it. I'm looking forward to it but I'm not going to have a meltdown if it's bad--unlike some people, unfortunately. - t.toe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Is anyone else having a hard time watching the video on the page? Or am I the only one left on digg.com that actually reads a story/watches a video before forming an opinion on it?
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4but it probably won't
- digitalchaos666, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7this is almost as bad as a batsuit with nipples...
