So 'Dark of the Moon' is movie history. And so will all of my Transformers blog posts for the meantime, until a new sequel is set into the future.
But before I let that go, I'm gonna put my own spin on a really cool storyline that can possibly move it to a new direction. That has to mean minus brilliant action director Michael Bay and sometimes overzealous, actor Shia Labeouf who plays Sam.
So what do I envision for a great story, as well as the elements? Ok, let me put my creative juices to work...I would want the Autobots to continue working with NEST and let go of the Sam Witwicky continuity. The Autobots should have their own base headquarters called 'The Ark' built somewhere near the mountains since Cybertron is no more. The main computer that they utilize is none other than Teletran-1. Optimus Prime will still be leader to the remaining surviving autobots and a new line of newly made Autobots that are now part of the army. Now here's what's interesting about them: they are made from recycled parts from those that were killed at one point - namely Jazz, Ironhide & Que, all thanks to Ratchet. Ratchet also takes out their memory chips and installs them to the brain area of the exclusive Autobots. Jazz, Ironhide & Que remember what happened to their fate and accept their new identities/vehicle forms. They are given new names and that some of the chassis/facial features they have now pretty much resemble their previous appearances. This reinvention of the characters would honor the G1 1984 cartoon (the concept, in which Bumblebee had a new body being named 'Gold Bug')... New autobots made-from-scratch are also part of the lineup such as Prowl, Seaspray, Cosmos, Hot Rod and Cliffjumper. A veteran also surfaces from the galaxy, as well. His name is Ultra Magnus. Everything seems to go right with NEST operations as they fulfill world peace until the remaining surviving Decepticons from different nations join forces and take the remains of Megatron, Starscream, Barricade, The 3 Dreads, Shockwave, and Soundwave in their possession. The Decepticons forge an alliance with the planet-eating entity named Unicron - a huge bad ass giant robot. He gives them new bodies and new names, especially one Megatron who now becomes Galvatron. Starscream becomes Cyclonus and has a new army called the Sweeps. Sentinel Prime becomes Scourge .... The humans on Planet Earth and the heroic Autobots face a mighty giant battle, not just against a recycled group of Decepticon Army BUT also Unicron. THIS IS THEIR BIGGEST BATTLE YET!
Not a bad idea, right? RIGHT. It honors and remains closely linked to the original '94 cartoon series once again. What can make it work? Let's start with a director and genius. I wish it can be J.J. Abrams. He can pull it off. The man has been successful so far, especially with Super 8 and Star Wars. And he can team up once again with Steven Spielberg who can produce it. They'd make a bonafide team. It would be great for Kurtzman & Orci to take the idea I based here and translate it to the big screen. Under J.J. Abrams' helm, he can show a diff't perspective picturewise. If not Abrams, maybe Peter Jackson who can convey more of the characters likeness and heart into this. The robots should also have a well-known cast of voices. Maybe Tom Cruise as Prowl, Liam Neeson as Ultra Magnus, Will Smith as Seaspray, Jack Black as Cliffjumper and Zac Efron as Hot Rod. And Unicron would be voiced by either Vin Diesel or Michael Clarke Duncan.
So yeah, that's my idea right there all in one blog posting. This is THE END of the Transformers talk for now. Time to focus on the next things in life.
