Wingard says that when it came to Mechagodzilla, he was more focused on avoiding the mistakes of previous films than on copying some other classic sci-fi robot. The director is talking about one terrible movie in particular: Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
“I remember watching the third Transformers movie in the theater,” Wingard recalls. “It was one of those things where I was with a date, and we got there late, and the only seats that were available were literally in the front row. And so I'm sitting there watching Transformers 3 in the front row, and I couldn't tell what the hell was going on.”
“The Transformers, they just looked like metal. They looked like a plane crash. So I thought, that's the thing I wanted to avoid. They were too complex. There are too many moving parts, and I couldn't latch on to anything. Nothing felt iconic with that Transformers design.”
“The Transformers animated movie from the '80s with Orson Welles was one of the best movie experiences for me as a kid growing up,” Wingard says. “Period.”

Not the stupid human side plots, not the made up parts that the studio wants you to shove in, but Godzilla and Kong. That movie did those characters JUSTICE, and I would pay any amount of money to see this man put that same fan service and care into a transformers movie. So funny to see his thoughts on such a specific topic just days later.

Hardly a spoiler when it is in the trailers. They weren't hiding it for this movie.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

I would hardly recommend watching a movie in the front row.“The Transformers, they just looked like metal. They looked like a plane crash. So I thought, that's the thing I wanted to avoid.

That's subjective.

Yes, it is, and he already said so. This is HIS opinion. Why is everyone here trying to tell him that his opinion is subjective and wrong? He literally says “nothing FELT iconic”. That’s his emotions. Stop telling him he’s wrong when he just directed a giant monster movie that is *in my opinion* better than most of the action from any bay movie. And most reviewers that have been posted from thousands of people would agree.

A bold colour scheme for each bot. An identifier for what you are looking at, during the blurrier moments. This was however just reserved for a couple of the Autobots.
