the reason i thought it was so fucking awful is because it's an incredibly stupid joke that totally destroys any kind of intensity or urgency the scene might have had before it
it's very difficult to feel like the giant robots that are blowing the fuck up out of everything are intimidating, scary, villainous or even to be taken seriously at all when you make it the butt of a balls joke in the middle of the penultimate action sequence
I mean, I thought the first one was pretty mediocre, but the stuff you guys tell me about this second one really seems a bit unreal. It just sounds too dumb
So, I'm not gonna pay money to see this. Just tell me, how hard did they fuck up Soundwave?

He doesn't get into any fights, because he's taken the form of a satellite in Earth orbit. He uses this privileged position to get critical information, and even "ejects" Ravage, who performs a hit-and-fade attack on the human/Autobot base while simultaneously unleashing the Insecticons to steal the Allspark fragment.
He has Frank Welker's voice, but it doesn't take that musical monotone; just the "Doctor Klaw" thing without any sort of augmentation.
In addition, he can subvert other satellites by attaching his tentacles to them. Oh, and he has tentacles.
There's a massive, planet-sized Asteroid labeled UNCRON-1, with Cybertronian origins, and it's headed on a collision coarse to Earth. Agent Simmons is recruited to field a team to fight against this threat from outer space. He seeks out his old Sector Seven teammates, who are all coincidentally working on an oil rig in the Pacific. Together with a team of wacky Autobot scientists who may or may not depict stereotypical nerdy prepubescent geeks of a robot, they create a manned vehicle which will be dropped from a shuttle onto the asteroid, and Simmons and his team will plant a few nukes up it's ass, blow it to shit, and fist pound their way home.
Also, explosions. Lots of them.
What? No, it's completely original. Shut the fuck up.

So is typing that sentence like that, what's your point?
so they don't happen again
it's very difficult to feel like the giant robots that are blowing the fuck up out of everything are intimidating, scary, villainous or even to be taken seriously at all when you make it the butt of a balls joke in the middle of the penultimate action sequence
at this point you'll be arguing 'til all are one
you assume people learn from their mistakes
I mean, I thought the first one was pretty mediocre, but the stuff you guys tell me about this second one really seems a bit unreal. It just sounds too dumb
it's about the war
That is awesome

It's not an argument anymore.
It's a motherfucking war.

You didn't call me racist CaptainK takes that honor.
I still feel it was pointless I probably would have left it in simply because of Bernie Mac but he really phoned the performance in.
except that Astrotrain's a Decepticon
also, it fits in with Hollywood's usual bastardizations
keep up with me, CD
especially when you could have a space battle between Sky Lynx and Astrotrain
but then I read the second sentence, and it was good
wait, no, we have all six of the original Triple Changers redesigned for the third film, and the two unused ones added in as well.
That sucked.
a space shuttle with a payload that turned into a bird/pterodactyl and a sabertooth tiger that was arrogant as could be
he looks kind of like he should be a zord
but then it turned out Takara owned his and Omega Supreme's molds, and they finally released them as transformers in Japan this decade
and that is why astrotrain is better
I don't actually think so but I gotta try it.
You have to admit that Bernie Mac is one of those guys that seems to get on "casual" racists' nerves. Or did
And that's how I got my own new complete in box Omega Supreme, 22 years after I first got him for my birthday.
Sky Lynx is a pretty crappy toy so screw him.
Please, Astrotrain is nothing more than the decepticon's version of public transit and you know it.
Sky Lynx? Sky Lynx brought WWJD back and replaced Jesus with himself.
Look at the first qoute.

His humor was specifically oriented towards the black lifestyle in general. I don't recall any of his material ever branching out into other areas.
He did hire Carlos Mencia for the pilot of his TV show though so he definitely wasn't perfect.
