From the story: "I think ultimately even GM wanted Michael Bay to have creative control over the coolness of the transformations."

You guys didnt get the pre-quel comic? They passed it out to everyone who was waiting to get in at my theater. Yes, Bumblebee was a scout who was looking for Witwicky, Brigade was aswell. Bumblebee lost his vocie circuits in a fight with Brigade when they 1st discovered that the glasses were still out there.

The best part of the effects was how the made all the Transformers 85% silver, making it impossible to distinguish which one was which unless the camera wasn't moving and the one in question was currently announcing their name.It was like watching live action anime.

You would have to admit, though, the part where optimus prime shoves a sword through another robot's face was really awesome. I'm glad THAT was close-up!

No you don't.Did LOTR need it, did Star Wars? Plenty of movies have been awesome without having to resort to the language of 12 year old xbox live headset screaming dweebs.The LOTR trilogy was 9 hours of video without a single curse word. Not a single one. Star Wars I *think* had a total of 2-3 spread out over 6 movies and what they used can be said on TV. And until I pointed out that fact I bet you didn't even realize it did you?
