Here's my behind the scenes of the recent story I posted. If you haven't read yet, click here.
If you guys haven’t figure out what the story is based/parody of, it’s the 2nd Transformers movie.
Unlike the movie, I focus more on who should been the main characters like the Heroes (Based on Autobots) instead of the annoying ones (The humans and the twins). You notice that Raph (Based on Leo Spitz. Yes, I made a Ninja Turtle joke) was quickly kicked out of the story as well as the two wannabe rappers.
Evil Cop is based on Barricade(The bad cop basically). In the beginning of the second movie, you see another Depecticon called Sideways who has a similar design to Barricade. Which is why he’s the other Evil Cop.
Speaking about two characters with same design. There’s two helicopter bots, one was Blackout(The guy who attack the army base), and Grindor.(The 3rd guy who attacked Optimus in the forest.) That’s where Weapons as Ammo’s bro came from.
The early version of the story had the Asian restaurant called Hunan’s. I honestly don’t know what it was called at that time. That place changed it’s name all the time. It was called Kopen at one point(Korean/Japanese food)
Slicer’s rant about how anti-climatic the battle against the One-Legged Minotaur pretty much sum up how I feel about most fights in the movie. Here’s some examples:
Sideways- He dies in a minute.
Demolishor-Get defeated in seconds
Scorponok-Shows up, Gets fatten.
The Fallen-The final battle was barely a minute
Originally, instead of Girl killing the One-Legged Minotaur, it was me. It said I did it because he was annoying me about the Inferno. Uhh…This guy isn't exactly the Man in White(From Dodgeball 2) who annoyed me about confusing story. I found that, me killing him is out-of-character because I rather be listening on this ancient baddie instead of killing him.
Our hidden base was originally underneath Knight’s food market. It got changed to the abandoned Alford’s near main street. I changed it to a closed down area near Main Street. It can be any building nearby that surrounding area.
Me inserting socks to the wannabe rappers’ mouths wasn’t in the original. It just simply say I walk passed them. You can’t just namedrop some characters and walk off. You need to introduce them.
I went more in-depth of me and my team discussing on the mystery of The Inferno and hinting about the previous generations of Heroes and Baddies. The previous generations weren't mention at all till we met with Old Dude.
Me hearing the news of the Sophomore boy having dreams wasn't mention at all in the base. I just randomly showed up at the parking lot with no build up.
I'm 100% positive the old closed down Wal-Mart in Jacksonville was still an abandoned building at the time.
Myspace wasn't in the original. It was alot bigger back in the day and I’m sure if the Sophomore boy had a social media page at that time, it be Myspace.
I knew in three years, the Sophomore kid would graduate but I already plan to write about meeting him at the High School’s parking lot so wrote the he was held him back.
Yeah, I sometimes shoot annoying people but I shoot the boy’s best friend right in front of him. He seriously won’t help me find the 2nd Glowing Tennis Ball. That's why I introduce the Nerf gun stun feature. Seriously, since when did toy guns kill people as well as stunning?
In the old version, Villain mention he was going to take the boy’s brain but it didn't say he was go all Mortal Kombat and he plans to rip his head open with his bare hands. Seriously MK game developers, how can you rip someone’s head off with their spine still attached by grabbing them from their hair?
I know in the movie, Optimus was dead throughout the film and didn't get revived till the end. I change that so I won’t be out of action throughout the story. Yes, I know I got out of the hospital quickly. Let’s just say Medic is a really good doctor. Plus, I got stabbed by a toy. You honesty think I’m going to die from a toy wound?
Me and the Sophomore sneaking around the city to avoid the brainwash people was only in one sentence. I expanded it.
Me trying to pick the door to the boy’s house or his dad aiming a nerf shotgun at us before finding out who we are wasn't in the old version. We just randomly met up with and talk.
Old Dude told us the story outside of the library in the old version. Wouldn't it be better to sit down in a closed off room?
In the old version, the Golden Knights were servants of the Giant Glowing Warrior. I change it and just simply focus on the Knights.
Some time after the 2nd movie, the real name of the Fallen was revealed. His name is Megatronus Prime. Yes, it sounds silly. Megatron took his name from this fallen prime. That came up with Captain Villainous and I knew it would sound funny. That’s like naming your best friend like Judas or Traitor. Hey, wait a minute…
The Inferno didn't have an army when he was planning to used the Supercannon. After he was defeated and thrower in the volcano, he communicated telepathically and contacted an underground brawler named Villain(Villain’s ancestor with the same name) and tell him to form an army. I change it to him having an army before he got sealed.
I didn't act surprised after hearing Old Dude’s story. You think that be alot to take in, don't you?
As we enter Jacksonville, Old Dude told everyone that he knows a clue from ancient text and it said “Underneath a man’s wings” We went to the airplane at the base gate. I change to the baseball field.
The climax of the movie took place in an open area with ancient relics in the center. The 1st thing that came to my head was the Air Force Base. I grew up here as a kid and I do need to branch out beyond Cabot in my stories.
The big battle at the end was one big fight that was full of explosions and shaky cam. It was hard to figure out what’s going and everything was going quick. I change the whole battle and made it two person matches for everyone. Plus, it gives nearly all characters a chance to shine. I only saw Ironhide, Ratchet, or Sideswipe for a few seconds and all they did is shout and did cover fire. Starscream wasn't anywhere to be seen. Soundwave pretty much stayed in space as a satellite in the entire movie. Sadly, one of my friends who never saw Transformers called Soundwave lame. This is true because he all he did was stayed in space.
In the 1st draft, all the battles never said where exactly they took place. It was pretty much somewhere between the gate and the airplane display. That doesn't give much room with us all separated.
In the 2nd movie, there was a female Transformer called Acree. For a year after seeing the movie, I didn't know she died. It was a blink or you miss it moment and no one actually say anything about this. Geez, in the 1st movie, you actually see Jazz ripped in half as well as the Autobots take time to mourn on his death after the battle. With Acree, you didn't even notice at all. I try to write it where you see her try to fight to her last breath and you see us sad about it.
The old version showed Slicer seeing two separate explosions in the distance before he encounter Robot. The explosions were suppose to be Traitor’s jetpack blowing up and him crashing into the trees.
The Giant Pterodactyl that saved Robot was a giant bat.
One thing I found confusing is when the Constructicons were merged into Devestator and uncovering the star harvester, the Autobots were battling the battling Constructicons. Were there two sets of them or something? Anyways, that’s where the “construction workers’ twin brothers” came from.
Me meeting with Medic and the deceased Girl while hearing Slicer pass by wasn't in the old version.
Old Dude once called Young Dude wasn't in the old version.
The entire final battle took place at the airplane display. I changed it to where all of Jacksonville was our battleground.
The sophomore boy suggesting to make out with his girlfriend while laying on top of me was based on the ending of the 1st movie. It ended with the two humans making out on top of Bumblebee. Also all his friends watch. That was so wrong.
