Went and saw this last night, I thought it was the best movie I've seen in ages. Audience loved it everyone was cheerin and clapping at the end and a part in the middle too. Gets into the action right at the start of the movie, no boring bits!

What else could ya want, cool robots, big guns, cute girls and some sick action.

Big 5 stars for me if you liked Transformers when you were a kid then go see it.. not childish or anything at all it was awesome!!

Yer wasnt bad it hought they did a good job by not really showing you "everything" (no full screen shots of robots walking about) which lets the audience use their imagination a bit. Not really what id expect from Bay at all. I did however crack up when all of a sudden the ac-130 appears out of nowhere in Qatar, us has like 12 of those, i think the chances of one being in the area would be minimal. yes im one of those technocrats.

all in all much better than i expected but dont think it deserved its M rating.

5/5 top movie, very good looking girl :) real funny as well. Apparently (according to the express) there were 39,000 attempts at hacking the Industrial Light and Magic which is the lucas owned company responsible for movie effects etc because fans didn't like Michael Bay...lol 39,000 :)

i saw transformers on sunday arvo and i havent watched the old transformers movie so i didnt really know what the story line was - but i really liked it.

i thought it had the perfect balance of cars and romance and comedy whilst still being about robots from out of space.

Seen a white R32 around ellenbrook with an Autobot sticker on the fuel lid.

Also a red S2000 with a few autobot stickers on it with the plates Transformer or something similar.....thats just going a bit too far

was a good flick, hope they make a 2nd.

they stuck to some of the historical story and added some license. Also like how they linked some of the stuff in.

ie bumble bee parking next to a yellow VW, plus he had a bumble bee air freshener.

effacts were awesome (but thats what you expect from lucas arts)

ahh but the idea is to go into it seeing it for what it is not for the brilliance of the original that they can never better

personally by moving away from the original plots they made it easier to watch as a stand alone feature tho if you looked closely there were plenty of references back to the cartoon series

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
