Hopefully the love in my Red Alert/Inferno icon will counter the hate.
Someone, once again, leaked material from the upcoming live-action Transformers movie. But not just any material, oh no.

These are pictures of the big man, Mr. Megatron himself. (Could someone get a screencap before it gets taken down? Please?) Done!

Naturally, the fandom explodes. The whole blog is wank, but I'll post a few gems.

I say boycott the movie. Hell, even picket in front of it when it comes out. I really want to see this thing flop...and everyone, to piss off the movie makers even more, post torrents of the movie and wave it in their faces, saying, we're watching your damn movie but not paying a cent for it. That'll get them nice and flamed. Maybe even hopefully teach them a lesson about messing with the original.

How mature.

We all know they were aliens, but do they have to look like pretty junk put together by a tattoo artist? I mean, I'll give it up, Megatron looks sic. He looks like a creature that'll stir up some s**t. BUT DONT' CALL HIM MEGATRON!!! Starscream looks like a Macross reject. Bumblebee looks sic also, but can we, just for the sake of keeping some kind of purity, call him Sunstreaker? I know Lambo won't give up the rights to use their cars and its all good. This piece of crap movie is going to only generate the revinue as the price of maybe 2 Lambo Murcielagos. Optimus is the only one that has the Classic look, but looks like a bionicle. All in all, HORRIBLE!!!


I have one thing to say: The word 'purity' should never, ever be used in this fandom again. They were pissed enough when Armada swung around and Thrust went from second-string doof to master tactician, Wheeljack turned into a Decepticon, and Starscream actually got some characterization.

NeoGalvatron01 brings logic:


I mean, just in that splash page on Seibertron (so much for being unbiased) I see 6 COMPLETELY different designs for Megatron under the heading "This is Megatron", none that would translate to anything realistic, and I'm sure he'll have 6 more before the franchise dries up completely. Yet THIS Megatron is suddenly not good enough? You know what? Get over it and go bitch about Star Wars some more. At least we've SEEN those movies.


Some agree, others say "It is my belief that NeoGalvatron01 is a F**king Mole."

I'm just wondering how they'll make something that complex into a toy.
