Apparently you can't posts polls without putting something in this message box.

I've said the Animated Movie - although that may change in time.
Oh and Battle of the Rock Lords is splendidly camp!

Battle of the Rock Lords is the name of a video picked up in Holland one time.
I voted live action, 'cos I've always been most annoyed that Prowl got wacked in the first minutes of "The Movie", when he hardly appeared in the cartoon. Bah.

I do happen to have a yaarrr version of the GoBots film. I let Ralph watch it one night we arseholed a bottle of Finlandia.

I don't think liking Prowl should lead to liking the live action movie, if I'm reading you right - he's not even in it!  |

But he doesn't die in it, so there's no reason to not assume Prowl is either in space or somewhere on Earth doing something amazing and crucial to the survival of the Transformers but sadly not given screen time!

He's not really a character who will suddenly appear and go on to be the hot new character of the sequel(s) though, that's got Hot Rod written all over it. Or maybe Grimlock.

Before I read your last post I knew it was either going to mention Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime!

Stay out of my mind! I genuinely don't think we will see Prowl on screen ever. I think he might be in the new movie verse in a prequel novel or something to the next film though. Or if Furman writes some kind of comicbook story set between films 1 and 2, or something. |

I don't know with him being in the animated series there is going to be some name recognition factor with the kids so while he might not get in the second film he may get name checked and if there is a third film I'd wager he'd definitely be in it.

Actually, now that you've said a third film, I'm thinking of how they brought Beast into X-Men 3 and I'm starting to see it.

Yeah, it's giving "new" characters to the casual punter but giving the long-term fans an old favourite, who while maybe not seen as "a" list is still quite popular.
I think we can rule out a Rodimus Prime appearance though.

I can't believe the animated movie is winning this poll. It's awful!
Well, anyway, the live-action one has clearly entertained more cinema-goers, by a factor of a zillion.
But although he's my favourite character, I agree that Prowl is a silly reason for preferring the live-action. And I doubt we'll ever see him, as we've already had a police car. I don't really mind.

I prefer the animated version as it at least tries to tell a story, has some decent characters and is fun to watch. The live action one is entertaining spectacle on the big screen but has a bloody awful plot, incoherant story and few interesting characters. And no Stan Bush or Wheelie or 'dancing round in a circle' scene, which is just wrong!

I have surprised myself by realising that I would put the live action film slightly ahead on points. In a sense of "both a bit meh, but this one marginally less meh".
Neither is particularly coherent but I think the live action film has a marginally more effective "through line", inasmuch as the middle feels a bit more like it has a tenous connection with the beginning and the end - whereas the animated film has a beginning and end that are telling the same story and what feels to me like a rag-bag of scenes in the middle that exist purely to keep the two ends of the film from bumping in to each other.
The Autobot City seige in the animated film works better for me as an action sequence than the final battle in the live-action film however - I can see what is going on and there seems to be more that actually happens. The animated movie is extremely well animated on a technical level, I just find it a chore to sit through.
I don't actually rate either of them that highly in all honesty, and if you asked me tomorrow which one I prefered you might get a different answer - there is that little in it - but at this moment the Live Action film has the slightest sliver of its nose out ahead.

Animated movie, because no other movie has had such an effect on how I've turned out.

Hang on, the one true TF movie is not in this poll! Namely the mind-bending Beast Wars II movie.
