Transformers (film characters)

In an effort to reduce the length of the article I propose breaking off the complete descriptions of the Autobots and Decepticons into a new "Characters from" type page. I've seen this done with other franchises. The Red Queen (talk) 20:08, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Barricade surviving

I'd like to add an addendum to that: Barricade (decepticon) survives does he not? He doesn't even participate in the final battle!~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.19.65 (talk) 04:56, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

With him being completely missing from the sequel, I'd say that the reappearance of Barricade, in the two scenes he appears in car mode after Bumblebee beats him down, is just another continuity error in the film. --uKER (talk) 05:46, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Think of it this way, I believe he was damaged and can't get back out of vehicle mode (it's happened in the cartoons). As for the "No return in 2" think about it, the Autobots are systematically hunting the Decepticons 1 by 1, he probably was one of the 1st to be taken out, and if he makes a return in "3" then I'm wrong, but like the story of how "Bee" lost his voice, there's a story that was written somewhere or not that really explains it all...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.5.61 (talk) 02:55, February 13, 2011
Bumblebee could talk just fine in all the IDW comics set after the movie, then when the comic writers learned he wouldn't be talking in the Revenge of the Fallen film, they quickly wrote him a second accident that made him loose his voice AGAIN, so he would be that way in the 2009 film. Barricade appears constantly in the toy bios, comic books and novels set after the 2007 movie. He just doesn't make any appearances in the later films, but he lived. It's official in the fiction. He just wasn't in the later movies (except maybe as a cameo in fight scenes) Mathewignash (talk) 18:46, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]


For the record: barricade is in the third movie. so he survived. you might want to check your resources before posting information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.213.53 (talk) 02:37, August 18, 2011

“science fiction”?

Not sure that this movie is categorizable as science fiction. Fantasy, perhaps. Action (as it is already), certainly. The AllSpark isn’t a technology, it’s basically a god concept. In sci-fi, technological advances are typically either somewhat plausible, or explained, or projections of current trends (e.g. AI), or speculation on alien advances. This is none of those. No serious scientist — or science fiction writer — would consider the “AllSpark” plausible, or explained, or forseeable, or even *technology* in any sense. --X883 (talk) 06:15, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The term "science fiction" has become distorted to a point where it's applied to works in which there's no "science" component. --uKER (talk) 14:27, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Verifiability, not truth, is the gold standard at Wikipedia. Every reliable third-party review and listing of the film categorises it as science fiction, so that's how it'll appear here for now. GeeJo (t)(c) • 02:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That would mean that Star Wars isn't a science fiction franchise. It incorporates science and mysticism. Science still has it's place in Transformers. All-Spark is a God figure, but the Transformers themselves can replicate technology with scanners (a theorhetical technology that is very scifi). Transformers still is scifi, just really, really, REALLY light science fiction. My vote is keep it scifi 174.1.136.145 (talk) 02:16, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Recycled CGI Details

Transformers uses recycled CGI scenes from previous films. As shown here http://i.imgur.com/UKzKT.jpg . 124.169.47.217 (talk) 04:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also known as stock footage. It's a *very* common thing in the industry. (Oceanic Airlines being a particularly famous example) Unless there's been specific comment on overuse of such footage in third-party sources, it's not worth a mention here. GeeJo (t)(c) • 04:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
More than stock footage, I know for fact that Transformers 1 used footage from Bay's Pearl Harbor (just like DotM included footage from Bay's The Island). And yes, I'm all in for the inclusion of that. --uKER (talk) 19:59, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Needed issue

How is this article on "Today's Featured Article" page if it has a Citation needed tag in the lead? Where is the logic behind this? I'd appreciate feedback. Thanks. ATC . Talk 19:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Firstly, it wasn't there before today. Secondly, per WP:LEAD, the lede section of an article doesn't need references if the information appears further down, so the tag was misplaced regardless. GeeJo (t)(c) • 23:28, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thanks for clarifying. If there was no need for the citation in the first place (because it was mentioned and sourced further in the article) than it should've been removed, especially the day it was featured. ATC . Talk 16:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

relation to other movies, sequels?

Why is there no links to the sequels here? Is this something new WikiPedia is doing? Breaking up related information so as to make it more difficult for the users? This seems anti-* ~AeSix 173.171.150.184 (talk) 03:52, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above comment didn't even make sense in the version of the article from September 2011 when the article include several mentions of the sequel films right there in the article intro and also a great big Navbox at the end of the page linking to the sequels and all the related information in the franchise. Even so a "Sequels and spin-offs" subsection was later added to the article. It is strange that the archive bots still haven't cleared out these years old comments from the talk page. -- 109.77.194.149 (talk) 15:58, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Ryan is NOT the Voice of Bumblebee

<quote> Mark Ryan as Bumblebee the young scout of the Autobots and best friend of Sam </quote>

[Source] According the the actual Credits of the film ... (Please watch the film and you will be able to verify this visually for yourself)

Mark Ryan is the Voice of JetFire NOT Bumblebee

Infact .. Bumblebee has NO Voice .. as his "vocal processors were damaged in battle" [Ratchet Transformers film #1]

MuwTent (talk) 23:36, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[EDIT} I was wrong .. Mark Ryan IS the voice of Bumblebee .. even though bumblebee has no voice of his own ?

However, Mark Ryan IS the Voice of Jetfire in the second Film and NOBODY is credited with the Voice of Bumblebee.

I wonder if the production staff made an error on the credits of the first film ? MuwTent (talk) 22:59, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on June 18 2016

Within the "Sequels"-section, one of the "Main articles" is Transformers 5 which, at least when I click on it, redirects to Transformers: The Last Knight. If Transformers 5 and Transformers: The Last Knight is the same movie, shouldn't the "Main articles"-section within the "Sequels"-section link directly to "Transformers: The Last Knight" rather than to "Transformers 5"? Furthermore, the "Sequels"-section also says "And the fifth as of now titled Transformers 5 is scheduled for a summer 2017 release". Shouldn't that read "And the fifth as of now titled Transformers: The Last Knight is scheduled for a summer 2017 release" or "And the fifth film, Transformers: The Last Knight, is scheduled for a summer 2017 release" or something like that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.167.173.189 (talk) 20:06, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please change “A lengthy battle occurs in Los Angeles, with most of the Decepticons being killed, but Megatron murders Jazz.” to “A lengthy battle occurs in Mission City, (but clearly filmed in Los Angeles,) with most of the Decepticons being killed, but Megatron murders Jazz.” because that is the accurate title of the city in the movie storyline.

The first paragraph is really off. Optimums Prime doesn't even mention Megatron and the civil war in the beginning. Its just a voice over of what the Allspark can do. We don't know about Sam's great grandfather discovering megatron until he tells us in his presentation after the base attack. It leaves out sam's car escaping and him getting arrested.

Budget

For the longest time the budget of this film was listed as $150 million based on statements from producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, to Reuters.[1] Also Box Office Mojo [2] puts the budget at $150 million and The-Numbers puts the budget at $151 million[3]

Yet without discussion or explanation someone decided to add a budget range to the Infobox, claiming the budget could be as high as $200 million.[4] There was no talk page discussion, and there was no effort made to expand the article text to explain why this higher budget figure might be credible. Template:Infobox film does warn against "cherry picking" budget figures but this almost the opposite, including a outlying contradictory source is the other end of the scale. This is supposed to be a high quality Featured Article, this should be properly explained and put in some context in the article, not shoehorned in to the Infobox. I'm disappointed to see editors yet again sloppily adding strange numbers to the Infobox but failing to make any effort to properly improve the main article, or even starting a talk page discussion to let other editors know that such improvements might be necessary.

Why might this other source be more credible than the producers of the film and the usual sources of budget information? What might have been the point of including it?
The source, is an interview from NPR from 2007 where the host and the entertainment expert for NPR Kim Masters, discuss why Spider-Man 3 was so expensive. Sony claim the budget was $270 and denies that the cost of the film passed the $350 million, the point being that studios don't want to admit how much they really spent on a film.[5] Later in the article Masters says:

Somebody said to me recently, I know definitively that "Transformers" - which is coming out over the July 4th weekend - "Transformers" has passed 200 million.

So this is a rumor from NPR's Hollywood correspondent. If this source is credible and should stay in the article, then it should be properly explained somewhere in the article body, such as in the Production section for example. I suggest something along the following lines:

Producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, say the film cost only $150 million, and they reckon it was a bargain compared to the other tentpole films that summer which cost as much as $300 million.[6] [Note: Could specify Spider-Man 3 and Pirates 3 with their $300 million budgets but that extra context may not be necessary.] According to Kim Masters of NPR studios did not want to admit to their real budget and risk further cost inflation, and her anonymous Hollywood source put the budget for Transformers at over $200 million. 

TLDR: Is this claimed higher budget figure credible? Yes or no? If yes then how should the article be improved to properly explain the figure. -- 109.77.194.149 (talk) 16:48, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox is supposed to summarize the article see MOS:INFOBOX. It is not supposed to circumvent the article with new information not explained elsewhere. Based on my earlier comment above I have added information about the budget to the production section.[7] I'm still sceptical that the higher figures should be mentioned in the Infobox at all, as it is a little too close to WP:RUMOR. Also the production budget of the film may have been $150 million but distribution and marketing costs would easily be expected to be millions mores more than that. The Marketing section is focussed on Merchandising and tie-ins, it emphasizes the potential revenue but does not mention anything about the cost of advertising. Despite being a Featured Article this article is not up to the highest standards. -- 109.79.81.227 (talk) 15:36, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fansites are not reliable sources

Please note WP:FANSITE. Wikipedia articles are not supposed to use fansites as references (eg TFW2005.com should be replaced with better sources). It seems particularly inappropriate for this {{Featured article}} to not be reliably sourced. Perhaps it was good enough at the time but I do not think this meets the current standards of Featured articles and may need review. -- 109.78.201.203 (talk) 16:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing a reference here on the Talk page but this encyclopedia article needs a reference that can actually used directly in the article, and that Youtube video would seem to be a WP:COPYVIO. (I don't for a second believe the final cost was $145 million but may well have been the budget it was greenlit or started at, and DiBonaventura simply rounded it to $150 million.) Now that we know Bay said it cost $145 million maybe we can find another source elsewhere. -- 109.78.196.145 (talk) 16:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He did an interview with Collider that might do a press conference where he said he the budget was $145 million that I cannot believe was overlooked all this time (although the press conference has been referenced twice in the article already). -- 109.78.196.145 (talk) 18:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
