Movie "news" from the 2005 Licensing Fair!

And by news, I mean pictures.

Did you really expect anything else for the initial images? You did? Well. Alright then.

There's also this:

Giant Pat Lee Prime statue.
Damn! Look at them tig ol' bitties!
Does it make you hurt in the pit of your very soul?
Well, that's alright, chances are the movie Prime
won't look anything like that. Could be worse, but how
likely is that?

The pictures are from seibertron and rangerboard
respectively.

Those posters are simple but effective. Yes they've been used so many times before but the insignias are so unique and eye-catching.

I don't want to talk about Prime.

Why's that? And it could always be worse. Always.

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

He's got an ungodly amount of rivets on his torso: his forearms look like they have pearl bracelets.

I hope the eventually come out with some posters that feature the "rusty" or "beat up" symbols, although I doubt it.

That, after the PatBreasts, was what stuck out to me also.

Jesus, it's like he's been infected with the downloaded minds of Jordan, Joan Collins and Ted Nugent.
Horrid.

Nice posters tho, like you said, what else did we expect?

It was like DW sh*t out a model on my screen all of a sudden.
We need red and purple logos. The shiney classic ones.

Oh. Um, wow. Man, you didn't get the memo then, no? Jinkies.

Well, see, the thing is that it's been decided to do this up X-Men style and all Transformers (so that they won't be naked) will be wrapped in black leather with silver insignias to let you know who is on what side.

[EDIT]

Urm, anyway that huuuuuuge and uuuuuugly pic could be shrunk down to a link maybe? I'm tearing up looking at it. :cry:

Well, at least it's not yellow spandex.
How about two posters - one of Earth, one of Cybertron? Or a single poster with half of each planet put together as one? (too lazy to mock-up a design myself, but I'm sure someone will).

Yes, I've decided Straxus should have a leading role...

Well it was either that,or a golden senile guy chewing bubble gum...

As for the movie, well, I continue to hope. Hope that the guy who wrote Catwoman will produce a decent script.

(Thinks)

OK so I've given up hope months ago. :D

That's what I meant - but more real-looking to promote the live-action nature of the movie.

Not sure about those four 'moons' though. ;)
Shouldn't one be Unicron?
