) Considering that the Autobots are all designed around sports cars or rescue vehicles whereas the Decepticons are all military weapons (aside from the one that's a police car), I think it's fairly easy to tell which are the good guys and which are the bad guys.Ascension wrote:although I think I would have used a different design style for the Autobots, made them look a bit less threatening, a bit more like "good guys"...
I was talking about the mood of the original series. The old fans of the original Transformers might be put off by a higher age rating because they were probably looking forward to a more loyal retelling of the original Transformers. A darker mood, or even slight gore as hinted by the trailer, might put off fans of the old series, as we all know that there are people who like to stick with tradition.wing zero alpha wrote:Also, since most of the original Transformers fans are now pretty much in their teenage or adult years, I don't think the heightened rating will be a problem.
I think his point was more about sticking with tradition than it was about being able to discern the Autobots from the Decepticons.wing zero alpha wrote:Considering that the Autobots are all designed around sports cars or rescue vehicles whereas the Decepticons are all military weapons (aside from the one that's a police car), I think it's fairly easy to tell which are the good guys and which are the bad guys.Ascension wrote:although I think I would have used a different design style for the Autobots, made them look a bit less threatening, a bit more like "good guys"...
look on the bright side; at least it's not "Step out of the vehicle, or we will destroy you."Shinji103 wrote:Also, one line in that trailer that just sounded kinda stupid: "Step out of the vehicle or we will kill you." It just sounds stupid and awkward, since what they would actually say is "Step out of the vehicle or we will open fire" or something closer to those lines. Not a big thing, but it just sounds stupid. Like hearing Heero telling Relena "I'll destroy you" in the Cartoon Network edits of Gundam Wing. Just bleh.
So far that hasn't been the case. Most of the complaints going around are for the designs, not around the fact the Decepticons are actually killing people (which they were technically trying to do in G1 but was never depicted due to the target age). Besides, from what I've seen on the trailer, the worst that can happen is Transformers getting a PG-13 rating, and even then that would be light compared to most movies out there.Shinji103 wrote:I was talking about the mood of the original series.

I know what he meant, but then the original Decepticons weren't that far from the original Autobots either.I think his point was more about sticking with tradition than it was about being able to discern the Autobots from the Decepticons.
I actually thought it made sense to say "kill", considering Blackout pretty much flew into a US Air Force base unannounced and most likely not generating the right IFF (which would scare more than one air traffic controller), although I also admit it does sound a little awkward.Also, one line in that trailer that just sounded kinda stupid: "Step out of the vehicle or we will kill you."

Possibly only because we don't know for sure it will be more violent. We do know for sure what the mecha designs look like though, so naturally we're hearing things about that. But people aren't going to start big discussions about stuff they don't know is going to happen for sure.wing zero alpha wrote:So far that hasn't been the case.

The original Transformers didn't have a dark atmosphere like the one this movie seems like it might have. I'm talking about how some, maybe even many people won't like a darker mood and would have preferred to be more traditional. We know these types of people are out there.wing zero alpha wrote:And as far as "mood" goes, people go for the darker atmosphere. Why do you think the original Transformers Movie is such a cult classic?
'These types of people' huh .. hehehe.Shinji103 wrote: I'm talking about how some, maybe even many people won't like a darker mood and would have preferred to be more traditional. We know these types of people are out there.
