Unfortunately your probably right, I really dont know much about the movie except from what I saw on the two previews and I can see your point. I was expecting to be disapointed by this movie (now days Im expecting to be disapointed by
most movies and remakes more than most
).
It was actually Starscream that gave me hope, I read somewhere that Megatron was dumped due to the size changing.... fair enough there.
But also that after some bad feedback to the original design Starscream was going to get a make over to be more like the original, if that's version 2 it still aint great. More importantly than the looks though, it said that any character that was named Starscream had to be the coniving, ambitious coward that Transformers fans expected or they wouldnt do it?
I agree that Bumblebee should have been given some sort of personality that tied in with the 'youthful enthusiasim' of the cartoon (I havent read the comics) but I still like the look of him in the stills that were released
.
Edit: Checked out the cover of Empire Magazine featuring Optimus Prime, again that guy with the original voice, I like it. Of course all this is probably irrelevant due to the likelyhood of a decent plotline , but hey Im a cynic.
