If Megatron was dropped into the deepest part of the ocean, where the temperature and pressure would crush and destroy him……then how did other Transformers make the swim down? Wouldn’t they have been destroyed?

Hey Yoshi

Oh come on, parts of it weren’t “that” bad. At least he helped the Navy finally revealed its rail gun project! I’m kind of with you on the lore, and the remaking / reimagining of franchises, my personal beef is when the movie is a classic and they feel the need to make a quick buck off of a new version that also changes the story line. I honestly thought it would have been an “acceptable” movie if they’d gotten rid of most of the attempt at humor and the excessive number of sidekicks such as the Twins.

But, sometimes a franchise does need a bit of updating and imagining. I saw a few old episodes of some shows that have been reimagined and the new ones at least use modern plots and science. For example, the new and old Battlestar’s don’t even compare. the new one has good plot, writing and acting. Not to mention really good SF/X. I think they should just be a bit more careful about HOW they revamp classics… and ask themselves if they even should.

What about the new G.I. Joe? Going to see it?

To answer your question Alex, yes if the lore was perfect in the movies 1 & 2 I believe I would have liked it. But I am not asking for the lore to be perfect either. In a 25 year old mythology I understand some things need to be updated and fixed. I have read the comics several times. I have watched the cartoons several times. There are loop holes in both stories. Their are mistakes. But there was hardly anything recognizable in the two recent movies.

You didn’t like it because of the way it treated the Transformers lore, but most people didn’t like it because it was just a bad movie. That raises the question, if the lore in 1 & 2 was perfect and they did everything historically correct, would you have liked it then?

To put my question in perspective, thousands of Star Trek fans just HATED the movie, but it was otherwise universally liked. It was a good movie despite breaking some of the Star Trek “rules.”
