Given that the alt modes of the Maximals in this movie reflect those of their namesakes in Beast Wars this comment seems silly.
Just sayin'

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

I agree. All of the Beast Wars characters seen pretty inspired of their season 1 designs, with Cheetor being the one that went into a more original rendition.

Considering it was intended as a joke, and most jokes are by definition silly, you almost got it there, Sheldon Cooper.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Seriously though, this all looks pretty fun. Hopefully this one is more Bumblebee and less TLK.

Optimus transforms at least 3 times in the film while we don't even see him transforming once in TLK. So it at least won't be that bad.

HOLY CRAP, I just realized this. It's actually kind of astounding. He just emerges from some smoke in truck mode at the end of the film. That's just bad, like no one transforming in MTMTE bad (except MTMTE was written well). It's like an Iron Man film where Tony Stark just talks and never dons a suit.

Oh right, logical.
I remember on top of my head in an episode of TF Prime:
Starscream to Knockout: "What do you transform into?"
Knockout: "Into a car, why?"
Starscream with disgust: "Ugh... You're one of those..."
I can't find the video, nor I remember what the episode it was in, but that's a memorable quote.

IIRC in AoE after the Cemetery Wind attack he transforms to truck while still in his evasion mode.Spider5800 wrote:DeathReviews wrote:Wow - it only took them sixteen years and at least seven movies to figure out that Optimus could be shown changing to his ALT mode.

That can't be correct. I'm positive we saw him transform from robot to truck at least once, the beginning of RotF after he parachutes out of the plane. There's gotta be others.

How does his truck transformation during the Shanghai scene in ROTF not count as an action scene truck transformation?william-james88 wrote:Spider5800 wrote:DeathReviews wrote:Wow - it only took them sixteen years and at least seven movies to figure out that Optimus could be shown changing to his ALT mode.

He's transformed to truck mode a few times but the big novelty here is that he's transforming into a truck for an action scene, like in the 86 film. That's new for the live action films. He tends to transform into a truck for a disguise, so a defensive reason, rather than an offensive one as we see here.
