[QUOTE]Originally posted by Krenim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [qb]The Allspark plot overall was almost glossed over in favor of the human story, which was fine by me as it was hilarious. However, the implication of THAT was quite significant - Megatron wanted the Allspark to create an army to conquer (why did the Allspark create only mean, destructive Transformers?) while the Autobots were willing to destroy it to prevent this, effectively dooming their own race. If there is to be a sequel (and the writers are confirmed to already be on it) the plot ought to revolve around the resolution to the continuation of their race.[/qb][/QUOTE]The personality of the bot created probably has something to do with who is using the Allspark, kinda like how it worked with Vector Sigma in the original cartoon. After all, the three bots created (the cell phone bot, the X-Box bot, and my favorite the Mountain Dew bot), were created by humans who really had no idea what they were doing with it, so they might have just had instinct. Prime mentions several times that they (and I took that to mean Autobots) were once like humans long ago, so maybe it kinda works like Stargate? Genetic memory? The default personality is violent (Decepticons = Goa'uld) and some learned later on to be better than that (Autobots = Tok'Ra)? And yes, I'd like to see more on that plot point myself. Prime's opening narration establishes that nobody knows where the Allspark came from in the first place, so maybe we'll get some backstory on that. Maybe it came from Unicron... [QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [qb] I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about Transformers, but as long as there's a thread up I thought I'd ask something - is there every a reason put forward as to why alien robots from the other side of the galaxy all turn into Earth machinery (or animals - Best Wars, was it called?)? [/qb][/QUOTE]In the movie, it was basically so they could sneak around while looking for the Allspark. It was established pointblank that the military [i]did[/i] have weapondry that could hurt the TFs. And in Beast Wars, the reason they had beast forms was that the high levels of energon would fry their robot modes after too long. The organic (or semi-organic or whatever) forms could shield out all that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
