Anyone heard about Shia LaBeouf criticizing the bayverse films?

[Amethyst The Gem]

Nope! Do tell!

[Crimson_Raven]

He said they felt dated.
He said "You come up on these stories about Easy Rider and Raging Bull and De Niro and Scorsese and Hopper, and you find value in what they do. Meanwhile, you’re chasing energon crystals. It’s very hard to keep doing what you’re doing when you feel like it’s the antithesis of your purpose on this planet.”

[Amethyst The Gem]

.............say what?

[Crimson_Raven]

Prime asked me to go scout for energon...
Frag this, I'll become a Decepticon! Lol
That's basically what he said.

[Amethyst The Gem]

Oh wow XD

[myth;]

What in the Pits is wrong with him. x'D

Go back to school Sam.

You're power drunk.

Actually I can see where he's coming from... I think there are aspects to Bayverse which are very reductionist on the Transformers' universe, considering how far it's come from G1's rather two dimensional 'good guys vs bad guys' scheme. Going back to that just seems a bit of a shame considering the development and depth other writers have given this fandom (consider - IDW!). Don't get me wrong, I adore G1 and I'll still watch the movies, but... Yeah, it's a shame about some of the plot and characterisation getting thrown out the window. Not sure about Shia becoming a Decepticon though!

PS I just noticed how long this is >.< Sorry for the rant XD

HEY IM HERE 5 millions years later to say I'm totally here with you on this one Snowy.

I'd take idw over g1/bayverse movies any day, without a second thought to it asoakdosfnikn (not saying anything against who do like it tho)

ANYWAY....
Transformers wise and artwise, I've been working on a bit of a personal project because i plan to art a comic of unknown length... (I doubt it'll be hugely long but that would be totally rad)



here are previews of two concepts/designs i started on > )

Im excite to do this... its just gonna be.... slow

[SnowyAshes]

Oooh that looks interesting, some kind of combiner with Lunus and Prowl? (Forgive me if I misremembered and he is not called Lunus >.<) Anyhow, 'tis very intriguing!
