I predict bad things.

Hell. Yes.

This movie will totally make me a hyperactive 6 year old again.

BUMBLEBEE IS NOT A CORVETTE! A CORVETTE IS A KIND OF BOAT. BUMBLEEBEE IS A VW BUG! A BUMBLEBEE IS A KIND OF BUG. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!

True story: When I was five or six, I had a crush on Bumblebee. Every time I saw a yellow VW bug, I would wave to it and blow it a kiss.

I am going to remain cautiously optimistic. It has high potential to be incredibly bad, but I will probably be so overwhelmed by nostalgic warm fuzzies that I'll hardly notice.

I've my doubts on whatever story they come up with. Like the Transformer's Movie was great, but not so much if you weren't a fan of the cartoons. I'm hoping that the fx will kick ass. And this is great.
I also hope that this'll spark another wave of the toys (I have about 15), as more is good.

Damn, I think I just fell in love with wimpdork.

Yeah, they obviously took a shit all over the Transformers storylines and characters, but if this movie features vehicles combining into giant robots that fuck shit up...how can it be anything but awesome?

Yeah, really, you kids today with your newfangled Toy Car Peacekeeper Robots!

Back in my day, we only had Can-on-a-String and Kukla, Fran and Ollie to protect us!

Have fun now and don't torch the neighbor's heirloomy tomaters!

See if GM had the movie guys designing cars they might still be selling Camaros. That rework is awesome.

Mithreal: C'mon, don't be so naive! Of course that's a GM design. This whole movie is a commercial for it.

From AIM:

"The new camaro looks like the new mustang. Which means they both look like snub-nosed versions of their old selves. Snub being wide and chunky, not lithe and sexy. It's like seeing a girl who used to be hot in her early 40s, plus a bunch of pounds and after a few kids."
