Now that the Transformers Movie has been seen twice by every human being on the face of the earth, the inevitable has been happening. YouTube, Video Game sites and main stream TV have taken there light hearted shots so far, but none compare to the hilarious comic stylings of Scott Ramsoomair, the creater of VGCats.com

Scott has, in the past, made a few comics involving The Transformers and how much they love the DS, including:
Ba Weep Granna
and
Pictochat

Now here's the latest comic entitled Darkest Hour. Feel free to recap all of the other hilarious web-comics of all your favorite video games and movies from VGCats.com here

Ive read VG cats for almost a year now and i must say that while its supremly humorus it makes several valid points on many of the comics that have been produced and that is very true with this comic staring a cast of 2-d humans with a cameo by the transformers.

Scott really likes cats. You can tell this, as the humans in the movie ruined it for him. (presumably, it would have been saved for him if it included an all cat cast as opposed to the human cast.)

I read his drivel of an opinion on the movie...

You know, every real person I've met who has seen the film has said nothing but positives about it. Every real person I've talked to has really enjoyed the movie.

I would so buy that remake.

The human use for Bumblebee got me there. Everytime I've seen that movie that end scene has me wondering what in the WORLD they're doing on the alien car. Especially with his alien car friends watching right beside him. Product placement in the movie didn't bug me at all, so that panel didn't amuse me as much as it could.

But sad Bumblebee headlights? Oh yes.

"Wus up lil' bitches?" heh. Saw the movie once. It's still pretty lame. While not treading any new ground, the comic still hits home- covering all the major faults of the movie. Perhaps, like Independence Day, TINO will be a film people grow to loath in hindsight. They're both pretty forgettable- with a mean streak of "Yeah America." Oh, did I forget to mention that Qatar is in the "Middle East?" Just in case someone forgot.

Uh... it's different from having a couple of human characters talking about the movie? Two things to understand about VGCats: (1) Leo and Aeris (the cats, as in VGCats) are the main characters of the comic, and generally turn up to pass comment on whatever's caught Scott's attention lately; and (2) as the title VGCats suggests, the comic is mainly about Video Games - hence Leo talking about the game as well as the film. It's pretty simple, really.

So... being on the internet precludes being 'a real person'? Especially if you're a TF fan on the internet...? :???:

I've heard reviews in both directions from 'real people' - both those I know online and those I know IRL. The overall feeling is that the TF fans were more mixed, while the non-fan blockbuster audience was more or less universally positive and the 'serious' film reviewers tended to ignore it as far as possible - pretty much what we expected all along. What I don't get is why it's suddenly become almost as much of a taboo for fans to honestly say that they didn't enjoy the movie, felt disappointed by it, or for whatever reason simply weren't enthused by it, as it once was to admit to liking what we'd seen of it before its release.

With near certainty, yes.

The internet separates accountability from people and their opinions. How many people that you know of online, who routinely run their mouths, act the same way when confronted by other people in person?

I wouldn't think so. I think it lets them live a different life to some extent. I've seen lots of people say lots of rude and out right retarded things to others, but when I went to Botcon I saw none of that.

That's not entirely true, the only tools I saw were a couple of idiots with megaphones yelling the same joke over and over again in an attempt to try and be funny. Kinda gives the impression that they thought they were funny online, but were completely devoid of real life humor in person. Mind you, other then those two everyone I met at Botcon was a really nice and cool person I would sit down and have a beer with any day of the week. So I would have to conclude that there are many folks online that are nothing like they are off line.

Wait... this thread is about VGcats right... damn it I love that web comic.

What, product placement in a movie based on a cartoon that was produced to sell a line of action figures? How dare they!!!

I really didn't find that all that amusing, but I'm not knocking it. Also, I thought the movie was awsome.

OH NO! CONSISTENTLY ENTERTAINING comic poke fun at Transformers movie! Let's all post snide comments about how Scott "hit or miss" and how cats annoying!
Me, Grimlock, think VGCats dead-on. Too many squishies in movie. Me want to see more robot fighting! Not more america ball-massaging with soldiers.

Plus, me also like cats. Cats make me, Grimlock, laugh.


I'm bored, so I felt like writing my post as Grimlock.
