That interview really has me pessimistic. Anytime someone says "he's not tainting it, he's modernizing it and re-creating it for current audiences!" that means trouble. Look at what happened with Miami Vice, and that was with the original creator at the helm for Pete's sake.

Oh and Miami Vice(the movie) kicked ass.

Remember that this is a "coming of age" story and having faces gives the robots a more human feel and this allows the audience to really feel the emotions that the robots have.

I hope there is something like that in this movie so it will be easier to relate to.

I think I'm going to throw up.....
Designs for Megatron from the movie....
That...that's just.....hideous.
I can handle that he's a jet (He still should be a gun, parents organizations be damned.) But if this turns out to be for real.....UGH!!! What the hell is up with the overcomplicated, techie bullshit? That's just a garbled mess of a CGI reject.
I'm completely disgusted now

From the interview that was posted earlier on the page...
I've seen a lot, talked to many people involved with the movie and people are excited about this movie. Believe it or not, I'm still not convinced this is the TRANSFORMERS movie fans want to see, but I am convinced it'll be a helluva fun Michael Bay actioneer. People have asked me why I didn't demand Bay's head in person for the Megatron image. I agree, the design of Megatron is pretty bad. However, in my own experience of seeing the art before shooting began on this film... well, lots of designs I saw there have changed, primarily Optimus. The image of Megatron that leaked doesn't have a Michael Bay Approved stamp in the bottom right, but a Work In Progress, so I couldn't get all worked up about it knowing it could quite possibly be old news. I know it doesn't look like the piece of Megatron I saw in the production art in Bay's office.

This is shaping up to be worse than The Island...

Yep. My hopes have been dashed to the ground repeatedly.
The Mods seriously need to remove "sweet!!" from the thread title. Although if they did that since it is a misrepresentation, they'd have to remove "Transformers" as well since none of these characters ever appeared on any show I watched.
