Excel Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Does anyone understand Transformers? I've spent the weekend trying to understand the many plot lines and backstories that make up this franchise after I watched the second film on FX Friday night. What the heck is going on in these movies?...superpowerful robots from another planet come to Earth to fight over some kind of crystal but they turn into things to prevent people from finding out what they are yet everyone seems to know they exist? I've watched a couple of the original episodes on youtube and read about it on wiki and I still don't get it. I don't understand the story and furthermore I don't understand its popularity. Whats the deal? Quote Link to comment

Whats the deal? The show was created by the Japanese. Our tiny American minds will never understand. Quote Link to comment

rawhide Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I truly want a bumblebee car. Go down the freeway at 80mph and have my car throw me out and then catch me while I scream like a little girl. Better than Magic Mountain and Disney combined :DDDDDDDD GBR Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Wait you're seriously wasting time analyzing the plot of a movie made by Hollywood's resident hackmiester Micheal Bay? You silly silly man! Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Wait you're seriously wasting time analyzing the plot of a movie made by Hollywood's resident hackmiester Micheal Bay? You silly silly man! Not that Michael Bay isn't a walking corpse of a director, he is, but in his defense, you can only do so much with the backstory you're given, and the pre-existing knowledge and mythos of Transformers can't do you many favors.

Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I love Transformers. He has found a way to make each one better than the one before, and thats pretty a daunting feat in the movie world these days. Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm not going to lie I'm kind of a sucker for most of his films, but this is literally what they are turning into: Quote Link to comment
