just came back from watching this

it was really good, the story made sense, for a giant talking robots movie, and even micheal bay as producer did not ruin it

i am impressedwhats the movie all about?
Why dont the Transformer dont know what transforming is?>>145427995
I dont think Michael Bay was involved at allJust tell me what the quality and quantity of robot women isWhat even is the point of them being able to transform at all, it never fools anyone and they all know each other>>145428632
He's credited as producer>>145428446
Nta but is basically Orion Pax and D-16 embarking on a quest which unveils the corruption and societal rot in Cybertron, leading to their drift in ideologies which turns them to brothers to enemies. They do know what transforming is but can't do it since they're miners and T-Cogs are reserved for the upper classes. It's revealed later on that all Transformers are born with T-Cogs but Sentinel Prime's government has removed them from the younger generations before they're brought on-line>>145427995
I saw the trailer for the first time today and I couldn't believe it, they actually look like themselves>>145429266
Wait a minute, that's just the plotline of Escape From Cluster Prime!>>145427995
Who would've thought all it took was to focus on the goddamn robots for once>>145427995
Is this really set in the same continuity as Bay's movies? When the robots look completely different from those films?>>145429384
It's a completely new continuity.>>145427995
my only nitpick is that Bumblbee shouldve been Jazz.>>145429414
I agree. There is simply too much bumblebee. He is only popular because Bay's movies made it so>>145429384
No? The fuck made you think they were?I saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice today and I absolutely hated it. I hope this is good as a palate cleanser.>>145428446
Transforming has been shown as something developed, not innate to Cybertronians, since G1
>>145429050
Transportation, fighting. Disguise has never been the only reason.>>145429600
Di Bonaventura really, really wants you to think it is. The whole reason this movie exists is because he wouldn't do an all-robot TF movie unless it was an animated prequel. No one has any intention of continuing bayformers but di Bonaventura still acts like its linked.>>145429266
When's the last time Sentinel Prime hasn't been a giant asshole? The 80s?Is it a nonstop quipfest like all the trailers?>>145429885
The closest we've gotten to that was probably Animated, where he was still a jerk. He did let Elita for dead but outside of that he didn't cross into genocidal territory like DotM or any of the horrible things he does in One. It's pretty much his role nowadays, the scumbag preceding Optimus.>>145429978
There's plenty of comedy but it mostly come from character interaction, and it's not like an MCU movie where every dramatic bit is interrupted by a joke. It's actually a pretty good balance, and the third act goes full into drama.>>145429978
Not really. They let stuff breathe. As much as one can for a family movie anyway. It’s mostly kept to Bee.>>145429979
>>145429885
Because modern incarnations want to make Megatron a sympathetic villain, there needs to be a "bad" authority figure to make Megatron seem more justified in his rebellion. Because Sentinel Prime was established to be Optimus' predecessor, it just makes the most sense to use him for that role.>>145429979
And the Sentinel Prime in Animated was originally supposed to be Rodimus Prime, but Hasbro objected because they didn't like the idea of him being a jerk.>>145429498
There's a reason Skybound brutally killed off Bumblebee in the very first issue.>>145429384
Go see the movie and see what happens to one specific character. Then you'll know.>>145430962
If I had a nickel for every time Megatron rips in half another Transformer with his bare hands suring the film's climax>>145430020

Knife hands>>145431344
#Knifehands! #Badassitron #AD>>145431344
There's only a few of those instances, plus that comes during a frenetic action bit so it doesn't destroy the mood. The one other example of a mcu-type joke I can think of is the "Roll Out" bit.>>145431344
>>145431450
That and the fact that, well, Bee IS the comic relief after all>>145429266
>It's revealed later on that all Transformers are born with T-Cogs but Sentinel Prime's government has removed them from the younger generations before they're brought on-line
Is this meant to be social commentary on anything specific?
