Roderick Posted August 5, 2005 Yeah, pretty cool. I noticed that too when watching the Transformers Movie two days ago. It's the year 2005. Decepticons are busting up Autobot city RIGHT NOW. You, Megatron, who are without mercy, now plead for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted August 5, 2005 It's kind of too bad they didn't start production on the transformers movie, like, two years ago so it could be out now, preferably set now as well, oh man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted August 5, 2005 Man, I already hate that movie. 3D Transformers are a blasphemy and I don't see that changing any time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Fuzzy McBitty Posted August 5, 2005 The coolest Knight Rider moment was Super Pursuit Mode, not Auto Cruise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But "3D Transformers are a blasphemy," though? Are you retarded? Did you ever in fact own a Transformers toy (aka the reason the whole thing exists in the first place)?! Those are pretty fucking 3D. It's not like it takes that much effort to visualize how a Transformer would work in 3D. Answer: very well. Transformers: The Michael Bay Movie, though, well that's dangerous territory. On the other hand, all Transformers is, really, is a bunch of humongous vehicles fighting each other amidist explosions and loud electric guitar music, and that's the one thing people go to see Michael Bay movies for, so it's honestly not that bad a match, I think. I don't expect Michael Bay to successfully make me feel confused and emotionally perturbed if he kills Optimus Prime though, like the original movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted August 5, 2005 In other news, Marek clearly likes/liked all those shitty 80's action TV shows. I never watched any of them, except for a couple episodes. They always sort of bored me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted August 5, 2005 Somehow, The A Team seems like it was really great, until you actually go back and watch it. Out of the poll, the best moment is clearly the Thunderbirds one. But I do like Stingray more, as Supermarionation TV series go. Thunderbirds seemed to indulge in long, boring docking and landing sequences too much, especially that damn movie version. Stingray was always a brilliant quick half-hour, with that lovely 'Aqua Marina' song at the end. Both those series were actually 60s shows, but they were on a lot here in the 80s.

Huz Posted August 5, 2005 STAND BY FOR ACTION. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR. Even Stingray standing in for Thunderbirds, man, or Thunderbirds appearing in a poll about 80s TV shows. It gets my vote! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knar Posted August 5, 2005 How about He-Man and She-Ra? I never watched the A-team myself, but I do have a vivid memory of watching a man transform himself into the behemoth called He-Man. "By the Power of Grayskull! I have the Power!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolzig Posted August 6, 2005 If I have to choose from those five, it's the transformers. But the coolest thing the 80's ever had was clearly MacGyver. There's nothing that can top that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Ben Posted August 17, 2005 We had a Manimal annual at home that I used to read all the time. I never got to see the show though. I heard it got cancelled after one season. It sounded pretty crazy, though. So in response to your poll question, I choose the Autobots, because transforming robot aliens are the closest to a guy who could turn into any animal in the history of forever and had super hearing and super speed and super everything and could also control animals and stuff. Practically identical, the two shows are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked the "hubris of man as the enemy" thing that Thunderbirds had going, and because there were regularly exploding models of big futuristic airports/power stations/factories. Also, nothing is hotter than a docking sequence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted August 18, 2005 Jake; I've always hated and still hate the Transformers toys. I think they're extremel ugly and look nothing like the characters from the series, the old, 2D ones having lots of personality. I also think that all of the efforts to 3D Transformers to date were either incredibly ugly (Beast Wars) or plain devoid of character and charm (that commercial with the transforming car). I love the old animated series because it's 2D. It doesn't matter they're machines, they still have lots of life and character. 3D will inevitably chip away at that. It lacks the charm of handdrawn animation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
