areaseven Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 It's a clear example of how corporate grilles don't work on all models. That front end design works on an Impala or a Colorado, but not on a Camaro. In comparison, Ford came up with their chrome bar grille in the mid-2000s, but realized that it wouldn't work with the Mustang. Now every Ford sedan is being redesigned to look like the current Mustang. Aside from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the only other car company that got the corporate grille right is Kia with their "tiger nose". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I didn't know it was possible to rice out an American car. Leave it up to General Motors and Michael Bay to figure that one out... Yep, no more Special Fried Rice from Uncle Hong's Kitchen. It's time for Uncle Ben's Special Blend American rice, lol! Wonder what Bummble Bee's mouth looks like?

Not sure if this is what you really mean, but I always thought Dodge actually pulled it off well with the Challenger concept car. They took their standard cross-hairs grille, but squared it off entirely, and buried it in open front end, making it really subtle. The design has changed a couple times since that first year though.

Kanedas Bike Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Transformers Episode VI and VII??? There has been so much wasted potential with Transformers as a property, especially with the live-action films, but I guess kudos for Hasbro trying to create a "Cinematic Universe". -b.

kalvasflam Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I for one like my Bumblebee to be a vintage VW bug with the associated pollution you'd expect from that brand of car. And of course, Megatron needs to be a regular gun. They need to perfect shrinking tech, after all if the Allspark can go from the side of a mountain to a size of a large rubriks cube, Megatron can go from a 50 ft robot to a small hand gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain america Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I was skeptical when I first saw Optimus as a long-nose rig with flames, only to be pleasantly surprised with the movie. We don't know if that's an alternate Hotrod paint job or any other details yet. I'll wait and see before tossing the movie under the bus.

Thom Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Why does only Optimus and a few now dead Autobots even slightly resemble their cartoon counterparts? And will Hot Rod be anything like his namesake!? I ask those questions not really expecting an answer, as it is clear Bay is making these for himself and not for us. One major reason why I am not giving him any more money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Big FAT meh to the Hot Rod they're planning on putting in this and to the franchise in general. Although I do secretly wish he gets Prime and/or Bumblebee killed, just to see the fan-rage. And I agree Thom, outside of Optimus Prime there has been little to no effort to make any of the Transformers resemble their legacy namesakes. With Bumblebee the only one, IMHO, that benefited from an updated aesthetic. But hey...my expectations have been in the toilet for the live action TF movies since Revenge of the Fallen. -b.

slaginpit Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) MBAY wants to do two things. a) make you download his movies. Cause paying for anything of his is like eating your hard earned cash, shitting it out and then lighting it on fire and b) wanting to see what next iteration of a pile of dogsheat he can make and how stupid enough people will pay to see it. Incidentally I think they have the same sort of direction with SS. Now if they had Optimus prime fly in on his rocket boots in SS and proceed to kill everyone while starscream comes through the Witches portal as a ghost to save the day and then have Optimus Prime turn into a toilet only to have superman come back resurrected as Megatron. THAT My Internet dweebs will make for an utterly fantastically entertaining movie. Edited August 8, 2016 by slaginpit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
