Official Poster Art - Transformers: The Last Knight

I would like to purchase an actual poster of this.

...this looks awful to me for some reason.

In my head canon, anything that looks remotely the way the Cybertronians in the Bayverse SHOULD be cosmic powered, or have some mystical qualities.

If not, they are just weak ugly fodders (robotic or otherwise) to be either smashed by the incredible Hulk, or be blown to bits by the Sentry.

You see the designs in Titans Return or Combiner Wars? Or any of the 3D games? Now THOSE are Cybertronians!!

They're all Cybertronians. Every one.

the whole knight thing is just massively unappealing to me

If it isn't Hound....could that military vehicle be Breakdown(TF Prime) as it sure looks similar to his vehicle mode.

Ah but did Silas Breakdown have an insignia

Yeah, like, aside from Evasion Mode Optimus I don't think there's a single character whose alt mode has matched up with their original incarnation - even in cases where, say, Bumblebee is still a car; it's a different type of car.
Which is fun, because it's nice to see new vehicle modes as long as it keeps to the spirit of the character. I actually prefer Ironhide having a pickup truck alt-mode to his G1 van mode.

That's exactly what I thought!

As best as I can recall it seems bay knew darn well that Calling Brawl Devastator was dimwitted and after the producers had been on his case about changing the other names like Prowl into Barricade. he likely couldn't be bothered to fix it.

Heck there is an air of lazyness about these Movies - have the still not changed the spelling mistakes in the 2007 Movie's subtitles for example despite multiple reissues of the movie ?

But yes Devastator should be changed as it makes zero sense to keep it like that when it's such an easy fix just a few frames need to be redone with some text saying "Devastator" - any anyone new to the franchise is going to wonder what the heck is going one when they see Revenge of the Fallen has a completely different Devastator.

It also show how terrified people are of loosing their job that they won't call the boss out when they are being a complete ass. but Don Murphy Tried the other Producers tried - he just ignored them... "As it sounded cool" or some such dipsh*t reason.

They couldn't even be bothered to name some of the Characters in the Movies that is how little they care about what they are doing.

It's not like someone would stand and scream bloody murder to defend these characters only one Japanese guy did for Optimus Prime (which did get his design improved) and oddly that guy seems not to have got hired for any of the following movies (at least as far as I've noticed).

There seems to be a lot of not giving a f**k going around in Movie production - which may be why the audiences likely care a lot less too.

I suppose the other joke is that they called Hound "Hound" when he's clearly designed to be Bulkhead. so they got the choice wrong again for the opposite reason by trying to be pandering to G1ers they shot themselves in the foot - I can't really see a sensible version of Hound being that Violent, but then the Movies don't allow for the Robots to have personalities other than that of robot killing machine.

Anway if we were still getting Movie toys that didn't suck like in 2009 I would say I would like to see that Military truck turned into a Decepticon Breakdown in ROTF style - but since Hasbro seems to have long since fired anyone who knows how to make Transformers that seems unlikely.

The thing about laziness is only opinion though. Michael bay probably puts his all into the movies, it's just you don't like his style. I also never get these reactions about the characters not being like their g1 selves, this was never going to be g1. These characters are just borrowing names.

I like some of the movies, they are far from my favourites and I acknowledge all their flaws but I will judge this new one when I watch it and then decide if I will support it more by getting the home release.

Oh and the thing about changing the name of brawl in the subs of the first film. If enough people kicked off over it then they would of had the masters changed but I'm guessing not that many actually do care.
