If that's the case then it's sort of the same camp as Japan's where really it was just one area and not the whole world.

Sabrblade is right, the 1990 one was the US, Europe went longer (as per my post)

The Marvel g1 comic ran into 1991. G2's comic didn't begin until 1993.Deadput wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There was a 1990 line.

Ah yeah I see, although the thing is that besides the G2 comic they really just had the toys and not the media.

Kinda weird explaining this but uh G1 has always been around yes but it hasn't always been in the front light, sometimes it was just sort of there looming over minding it's own business if that makes any sense.

Makes lots of sense. Its not about the amount of content or even the longetivity but instead about the popularity. I truly believe that movie optimus is the image that comes to most people's heads now if you mention Optimus Prime.

Why does Prime already look very much like the red truck he'll take the form of?
All Transformers now speak english before even coming to Earth. Very jarring in the case of the Decepticons who in previous movies spoke 'cybertronian' most of the time even when on earth. Really lost that nice alien feel that speaking in their own language gave them.
Charlie's family are totally forgettable.
And that Ron guy can **** off with that smile book ****.
Dropkick doesn't really do much except blast a couple humans into watery splashes and do a crap job of killing Bumblebee.
So much unnecessary teen drama movie crap. We had some of this in the 2007 film but it was done a bit better then. I can't even remember if the 'hot guy' Charlie supposedly liked even did anything apart from be shirtless a couple times and jump off a cliff.
Movie needs to remind us it's in the 80s by constantly playing well known songs of the decade.
And the attempts at humour in this film are mostly pathetic. Same goes for the blatant and hamfisted emotional bits.

This part confused me to no end. Why would an advanced transforming alien species that just mimic's a car's look also copy part of the car's innards. Arent the innards just the robot's innards? Why would it have a volkswagen motor?

It would still be a disguise, just like the T-800s in the first Terminator film was to be a machine disguised as a human, despite not having the same innards as an actual human being.
And apparently it wasn't much of a disguise by your criteria if Bumblebee's robotic face is right there in the undercarriage. Any mechanic is going to see that.Asking questions like this about how disguises work in the franchise in general is a waste of time and brain cells, your not going to come up with a satisfying answer.
Easy.
Charlie is working on the car late at night at the junkyard. She rolls underneath it to check the undercarriage. She see's what looks like a face, the eyes light up, cue transformation scene as it happens in the actual movie.Also to late to ask considering the other 5 movies have already ran with the whole "mimicked the vehicle" perfectly thing.
“Someone described Bumblebee to me as, ‘99% prequel, 1% not’.” “I was like, ‘What was the 1%?’ He said, ‘It is the scene where Optimus and all the other guys come to Earth at the end.’”
“I was like, ‘That doesn’t contradict anything we have said before. Who is to say they haven’t been around Robots In Disguise since then.’”
“That scene was always imagined but in many different versions. We didn’t do that scene until we’d shot the movie. Because we felt the movie was going to dictate that scene a little bit. What happened is that you got to see Haliee return to her family. Bumblebee needs to return to his family. Otherwise what happened to poor Bumblebee? That was our thinking.”
“Plus Optimus said we are going to go to Earth. We are gonna regroup. And then we are gonna go back. In our minds they went back out. It had nothing to do with the other films, and was completely about the emotional journey of Bumblebee.”

Or do we just go with the whole 'you couldn't possibly comprehend something so complex' justification (like how Megs needed OP to die and come back with the matrix to wake up Sentinel).

Wasn't it the regular casual movie goers the ones who made lots of money for the franchise till the last knight? I mean who else would have made revenge all those millions otherwise?
Also I agree with Will, I'm more than happy to loose tlk from the mix and keep the others.
