My Two Cents: Transformers Reboot

Since the Michael Bay films of "Transformers" are going to be finished, there has been some talk of a possible reboot underway. Personally I welcome the idea, don't get me wrong I like the two transformer films but I didn't love them they had their faults, personally I feel the major fault was really in both the director and the script writers they don't really know the franchise and the fans for Transformers. As a fan of the franchise I think we can do a lot better, and it wouldn't be that hard. So I'm going to throw 5 suggestions that can make them better.


1. Better Designs: The designs of both the Autobots and Decepticons I thought were good but not great. The problem is they did the job too well, there was way too much detail which made them seem cluttered and that's not good. They need to make the designs symplistic as a saying goes less is more, make the designs look like in the new show "Transformers Prime".

2. Less human charcters and focus: I can't stress this enough, my biggest gripe of both movies was the humans were focused on way too much let alone by there nature either not that interesting or not useful enough. The film is called "Transformers" not human formers. If there is going to be any they should have very very less screen time, because their suppose to be just that supporting characters, have very small quantity (two would sufice), also make the characters have a useful role.

3. Having enough Transformers and battles to go with it: Another problem was there wasn't quite enough characters on both factions let alone battles to boot. So let give both sides enough Transformers to go against and more sittuations for them like the Constuctacons change into Devestator (the real verson) and go agains the Dino Bots, Arial Bots change into Superion and go against the Stuntacons that change into Minasour, and so on. And you see I just proposed certain battles and which transformers go against who, yeah not that hard.

4. Transformers persona's fleshed out.

5. Have some awesome storylines for the trilogy and make them the primary focus: One other problem I had with the films were they focused on that teen love story a bit much which was rather cleche when the primary focus should of been on the dire matter at hand. So if a plotline is going to be Unicron coming to earth to suck it of it's energy and the Autobots and Deceptacons have to stop it focus on just that, that what I paid my money to see.

6. Really awesome voice cast for the trilogy. Knowns or minor leagers are welcome as long as their voices fit the charaacter. Wouldn't mind if Peter Culen did the voice of Optimus Prime and Frank Welkler did the voices of Megatron and Soundwave one more time. For known actors I don't know may'be Dave Chapelle could to Jazz or Blaster, Kira Kinghty could do Arcee, Sly Stalone could do Ultra Magnus, Jason Statham could do Iron Hide, Jesse Eisenberg/Michael Cera could do Bumblebee (where he actually talks) I know I know it's a tall order but I don't see why not, I think they should give it a shot.

So if anyone has any comment and suggestsions I'm welcome to them. Nothing left to say except this, "if your going to make another transformers movie do just that make a Transformers movie. That's my two cents.
