I'm just glad to see Transformers on the big screen, so having movies is always good news. As long as they don't turn it into something blatantly bad like a puppet show with a $38.52 budget or into literal pornography, I'll be glad to go see the movie.
So, when I see people discussing what was good, what was bad, some director's crimes against the franchise, I just feel like I don't have any critical taste... I mean, I'm able to criticise video games or comics and mangas, but so far I haven't been shocked by something bad in the Transformers movies. Maybe it's because I just come into the cinema awaiting nothing but big robots fighting, and my desires are satisfied each time.

Agree. I don't really care much for Shatter, but Dropkick and Blitzwing are awesome.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Lovin' him and the other Earth cons

Blitzwing already looks nothing like Starscream, cuz Starscream looks like this (minus the tattoos, of course).Combat Zero wrote:Chibi Starscream wrote:I hate Blitzwing. Who else hates it?
I don’t mind it, but I don’t understand why all the bots/cons on Cybertron look G1-accurate(Bumblebee being a Volkswagen Beetle) while Blitzwing stood out like a sored thumb(still retaining the Starscream look). Couldn’t they at least changed the colors a bit and give him a visor to further differentiate from Starscream?

Not if the whisperings of Bee getting his 70s Camaro form by the end of the film prove true.Combat Zero wrote:And besides, this is a reboot(like how Bumblebee having a Volkswagen Beetle alt mode), so so your statement is rendered invalid.

Really hoping there's gonna be Barricade there.
As for the G1-esque bots, I personally feel that this don't mix well with the awesomeness Bee and the cons have brought. Don't get me wrong. They look pretty nice. But they don't seem to belong in this continuity. I would be really impressed had they been introduced in another installment (could be a new series, or a game), but in this movie? That feeling is kinda stamped out.
Thankfully, the stuff that's on earth is amazing enough to still get me hyped for this movie.
Just my two cents.
i feel that they take everything we love about movie verse bots
(not a ton, but still something),
and melded it, quite nicely, with the G1-ishness we were sad to be missing.
the mashup aesthetic
is WORKIN 4 me!

He wasn't using the word "chronology" in the correct way when he said that. The words he should have used to say what he meant was "time period" or "point in time", as he was only referring to how this movie takes place in the 1980s instead of the late 2000s/early 2010s like the other movies.Combat Zero wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not if the whisperings of Bee getting his 70s Camaro form by the end of the film prove true.Combat Zero wrote:And besides, this is a reboot(like how Bumblebee having a Volkswagen Beetle alt mode), so so your statement is rendered invalid.
Well apparently Hasbro DID confirmed it as an alternative chronology(whether or not the reboot statement holds water is up in the air): http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/31/hasb ... ond-364648

“I always wanted to see me be the hero,” Hodson says. “I wanted to see me kick ass. I mean, not literally. I had no desire to be an actor, but I wanted to have those role models and those heroes. I think what's really fun is that [Bumblebee] is a big, cool, fun, action movie the boys are going to love, but girls love action, too, and this is a chance for girls to see themselves in the movie. Which I think is a really special and important thing.”
[...]
“Charlie is really our entry point into the movie. She doesn't know anything about Transformers,” says Hodson, calling Bumblebee “custom-made for people who are new to the franchise.” “But, of course, if you're a fan, you'll get wonderful little Easter eggs that you'll get to enjoy that other people won't.”
The prequel film offers a chance to get to see the Bumblebee character, who Hodson admits has always been her favorite, in a new light.
“This is really an origin story for Bumblebee,” she says, “but the character traits are all the same. They're all there. His loyalty, his kindness. He's fun-loving and really he's been the one who has always had that special bond with humans, whether it's Sam or someone else; that was something that I wanted to lean into a bit and see where and how that began.”
I am SO excited to announce that I will be HOSTING the 2018 MTV EMA’s in Bilbao!!! I might just have to perform a new song while I’m there. I can’t wait my loves! #MTVEMA @mtvema

Bumblebee is in theaters December 21, 2018
On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug.
