Probably trying to bring it closer to both the IDW Drift and RiD Drift in that he now has a warmer red colour rather than a cold blue.

Cybertronians must really like Mercedes cars. This is the fourth movie bot to turn into one.

Not complaining though, it's a very pretty car.

AOE Drift was originally going to be orange and black, but they had to go with blue and black, due to the fact they couldn't find enough orange and black Bugatti's for filming.

Glad to see they finally got their wish.

oh, cool

I guess that also explains why RiD Drift is orange and black rather than the AoE blue or IDW white and red.

Two questions here. Will he retain his triple changer ability? Will they acknowledge the change in alt modes or ignore it. Most likely the latter.

I hope not, he'll just get a re-colored aoe helicopter release; if they wanted to, they should have upgraded him into a gen springer-style design, then they could re-shell that amazing figure and we could all be happy, but that's clearly not happening with this film :(

The culture of the characters? The culture of the characters is Cybertronian. Drift has no heritage or culture in Japan aside from the fact that he takes a liking to the culture. That's like saying an American person obsessed with Japanese culture is only ever allowed to wear clothes produced in Japan. That's the stupidest thing ever.

I see you "understood " my comment. Never mind....
What I meant is that why not give him "matching" car mode. How about Nissan GT-R It's almost like creating Dino with Lamborghini mode and give him Russian accent.

That actually brings up a very good question. If Drift is such a Japanophile that he acts Japanese then isn't he more likely to choose a Japanese car as his alt mode over something else? A guy that's absorbing that much of their culture would certainly see Japanese cars as superior, especially when they're just taking on the appearance, not the performance of the car. Seems like a major disconnect in his character.

Yeah, but did any high-end Japanese cars get offered to the movie crew and beat out the nicer European cars? I'm guessing 'no', and at that point, that's really all that matters to them >:oP

But I definitely agree with both opinions, it was sloppy character building >:oP

It all comes down to the licensing agreement. These movies generate a lot of exposure, so car companies will be climbing over each other to get their cars featured.

Seibertronian Bronzewolf has shared another image from Michael Bay's Instagram account (or his good marketing team, at least) showing what looks to be a set image from the Detroit location of Transformers: The Last Knight, and posters of OPtimus Prime and Bumblebee - it looks like the status quo is still one where Cybertronians are not exactly everyone's favourite thing. Check it out mirrored below, and sound off in the comments about what you think this means for the movie so far!

This is very true plus till the movie comes out we won't know what needs explaining from AoE.

Though in my opinion the area where most questions will be centred on is the dinobots, as I'm where are they now.

It's pretty much understandable, only so much of humanity would be welcoming if the tfs came in peace from the start, plenty of people would be afraid and start to hate. Just look at more down to earth real examples when people of different races mix. Especially when people believe that just because one small group cause trouble, they all must be trouble.

That's also not counting people using them as scapegoats for other problems.

It would take a large act to get people to look at them without fear but it may never go away.

Also good news about the dinobots :-)

The problem is that the humans are all "kill the autobots", when they have been fighting and dying to save their ungrateful afts. Some acknowledgement of the actual aggressors would be nice, but the humans are killing the bots for what other members of their species did. It's something that happens a lot in real life, but they still aren't justified.

Realistically we would of killed all of the Autobots by this point instead of working with them at all in a program like Nest.


Plus not all Humans hate them just a few civilians mostly those affected by the attacks and Cemetery Wind which was it's own rogue operation independent from the government mostly (otherwise how would they have gotten away with killing allies?)


We are Humans we are A-holes that tend to shun/kill everything we consider outsiders I mean I remember when I was a kid and until I was around grade 8 I was pretty racist and I kinda looked down on people with other skin color I have changed since but my point is that we tend to be bad.

It's not like they hate the Autobots exclusively they hate all Cybertronians and are probably in the mind set that the military could defeat them without the Autobots and plus outside of those that witnessed the Autobots themselves most people don't really know how much the Autobots helped them.

I guess it annoys me a bit because I really prefer team-ups to conflict.
Like, yeah okay conflict makes sense; but it should be temporary and not necessarily the main focus - when it comes to what is essentially two good guys I do eventually like to see them team up.
For instance, Batman vs. Superman. Not the movie, I don't think anyone here wants to talk about that; just the general concept of those two fighting. The conflict makes a lot of sense - if they were meeting for the first time, it might come down to it due to their wildly different beliefs and philosophies. However, at the end of the day, they come to terms with their differences, learn to accept them and decide to battle with each other rather than against in order to take down the real threat.
That's what I like to see. Maybe it's not realistic to what actually happens in the real world, but that's the whole point - it's representative of what should happen in the real world. We should realise that despite our differences, we're better working together towards a certain goal; we essentially want the same thing; and our differences mean we can all bring something unique and positive to the table and to the discussion. That's why it's annoying for me to see humans constantly hating the aliens, whether Transformers or otherwise - sure, it makes sense; and I'd honestly be a little annoyed if it didn't happen at some point because yes, it's realistic for at least some conflict to exist beforehand. But there's gotta be a point where they understand that it's not what they should be doing.

... HOO boy I did not expect to get into my personal beliefs and philosophies on a live-action transformers movie thread haha. but yeah, tldr humans + transformers is way cooler and more interesting than humans vs transformers.

Why wouldn't humanity hate these giant alien robots that have caused so much death and destruction?

Outside of the military, the rest of humanity probably has no idea about the different factions. They just see giant alien robots destroying cities and pyramids and countless lives lost.

And you expect people to be welcoming of that? Come on ... if a aliens turn up on your doorstep fighting each other, and you have no idea what the go is with them, are you really going to stand there and cheer one on?
