The gold toof though? That shit was a little over the top ...

The problem is that the PERCEPTION is going to be that these cats represented black folks. The second the phrase 'buss a cap in yo ass!' comes out the mouth of a 'gangsta' personality type, it's automatically assumed the personality is black.
Shut up whiteboy

I wonder what a Japanese transformer would sound like. or a european one. they're all american cars. shit looks like a big ass GM commercial when they're driving together
That website that one kid plugged therealeffingdeal.com had some viral videos from around the world with robots not seen in the movie, yet here we are with GM autobots. I agree.

Sideswipe and Shockwave should have had their time on the screen. They were the coolest new TF's the movie offered.

The little biplane they cut from the film makes me sad. It looked so cool...

Do you not see the parallels between how this movie treated its 'plot' and how the cartoon (G1) treated its plots? Where in the world did Sam get that cast from? They teleported, he acted like he was hurt ... they cut away, and when they cut back Megan Fox is putting a cast on his hand, lol ... She's not only a mechanic but she's a doctor too.

C'mon people ... Watching a movie like this not expecting a nonsensical plot is like listening to a Dr Dre album (where Dre raps alot) for its lyrics.

I actually only read the initial maybe first 3 posts... not trying to shit on you Dion.

But all in all, like I said.... it's not a big issue when kung fu panda has an over-exaggerated asian.

It's not that big of a deal when Patrick Star & SpongeBob sound overly white.

It's not that big of a deal when King Julian on Madagascar sounds overly middle eastern.


.....but when a Transformer sounds like a 'jive talking black man' ....ohhhhh nooooo!!! everyone got something to say.... oooohhhhh noooooo!!!!!


not a personal shot @ you in the least, but I think it is silly to nit-pick 1 thing, but not the next. I mean, it IS all about equality, right?
i feel you shea and to add to it, how does anyone know all of the other transformers arent "black"? everybody is assuming they are "white" because they dont talk "jive"? THEYRE FUCKING ROBOTS GET A GRIP PEOPLE.

I'm more pissed off that I paid money to see this piece of shit than two robots acting niggerish.

Easily the worst movie I have EVER seen.

Fucc the bullshit. The Movie was dope. I hated the first one and with this one they did their best to fix the issues I had with the first one. And actually makes the first one watchable now. LOL.
