The 30 finalists have been selected for Transformers "Make Prime Speak" contest. Sadly, originality took a back seat to familiarity. If the filmmakers wanted to save some money, they could just choose 10 phrases from the cartoons and remastered movie coming out next Tuesday and reuse them without the time and expense of recording new dialogue.
Not that its the filmmakers fault. The contest was a great idea and much appreciated. Sadly the fans (me included) didn't take it seriously enough and because of that we get the lackluster list of finalists.
It does prove a point. You can pretend you know a character really well, complain how they are used, look, speak etc, but really get down to it, "knowing" a character and writing for that character is not as simple a task as we pretend it to be.
List of 30 finalists is here.
