It appears to be in Chinese, rather than Japanese, so we'd need someone who knows that language.

Though, I'm doubting it's anything official. Probably just a fan work.

I really enjoyed the first 3 movies. Sure. I thought that certain aspects could have been better buy overall they were a lot of fun. The last 2 were hard for me to take. The new characters were a lot worse than the old ones, on both the human and robot sides. About the only new character that I thought was done well was Kelsey Grammar playing Eddinger.

And that miracle is... Nothing. Because it's not in terrible danger. It just didn't make as much money as the other movies, which either means it has to experiment and be more creative to try and reach that level again; or lower their budget to match what money they're making back. It's going to be fine.

IMHO the ptoblem is that in TLK they've been TOO creative, mixing too many strange ideas which had nothing to do with TF and filling them all with disposable characters like the whole Decepticon team. Let TFs be TFs and all things will work.

I did like that the Tone of TLK was a bit lighter. I have seen all these films theatrically, and as my son has gotten older, this was the first I felt comfortable in taking him to see. had any of the other films come out, and he was the same age (11), some of the language and innuendo I still would not have taken him to see in the theater.

What I disliked was its complete disregard for continuity. Now I know that the movie series has been pretty loose when it comes to this, but if you squint real hard, and *read between the lines* you could make some sort of cohesive through line for the first 4 films. But with TLK all of that was shattered. It raised way more questions, and answered NONE from the previous film.

Heh, yeah, remember when so many people were so insistent that we wait for the fifth movie to answer all the unanswered questions that AOE raised ("Who are the Creators?" "Who are the Knights and what's their deal?" "How is Optimus a member of these Knights?" "How, if at all, do the Creators relate to the AllSpark?" "The Dinobots are Knights too, right?" "What's the story behind this version of the Dinobots having dinosaur-based altmodes?" "How did Lockdown get involved with the Creators?" "What's Optimus gonna do with the Seed that he took with him into space?" "What's next for Megatron as Galvatron?") only for the fifth movie to not only answer absolutely none of them but to also outright feign ignorance of several of them as though they were never even a thing beforehand.

Every single person who insisted that the fifth movie would have all the answers sure did eat some mighty fine crow. :P

Motto: "That which does not kill us sure leaves a mark."

Look, I can tie everything together like this.

The knights were charged with protecting Cybertron from Unicron. The dinobots were the largest and strongest knights, sent out first to locate Unicron, which they found on earth. They took the forms of the local life, which were dinosaurs. They subdued Unicron and kept him from waking up, but the ships with the "creator" people wanting to cyberform earth showed up, along with Lockdown, and the dinobots lost the fight and were imprisoned by Lockdown. Once the "creators" realized that earth was home to the big bad Unicron and cyberforming him was REALLY BAD bacause it would wake the dude up and make him super powerful, they stopped and left the planet, but not before they had wiped out most life on the planet. They stripped off the cyberforming they had done and it left a layer of iridium. Millions of years later, the 13 original Primes located Unicron and they arrived on earth intending to build and use the solar harvester to drain the sun and put Unicron in a deep freeze so he couldn't awaken. When local life proved intelligent the primes decided they couldn't morally go through with the plan, so they decided to bury the solar harvester in a pyramid structure and built some fake ones to hide the nature of the harvester. They didn't want to wreck it incase it had to be used as a last resort. The Egyptians later copied their pyramids for tombs, thinking the original pyramids were "tombs of the gods". Anyway, one of the primes rebelled, since Unicron was too big a threat to Cybertron and he wanted the big U destroyed for good. He tried to get hold of the Matrix of Leadership to turn the thing on, but the other primes hid it away. They wouldn't kill the rebel prime, being unwilling to kill one of their own, so they sacrificed themselves instead. How The Fallen never found them and why he left... eh, someone else can figure that out.

So then on Cybertron the war isn't going so well for the Autobots. Sentinel Prime goes missing, and Optimus Prime decides to eject the Allspark from the planet to keep Megatron from gaining control over it. Sentinel was already headed for Earth when his ship gets damaged on the way out. Megatron knew that Earth was Unicron the whole time, having learned about it from Quintessa, and brought Sentinel into the mix, telling him of the plan to use the solar harvester to prevent Unicron from waking up, and Sentinel would use the space bridge to bring Cybertron into orbit to suck up the power, and Quintessa would kill Unicron. When Megatron found out Optimus ejected the Allspark, he knew it would be drawn to Unicron, and went flying off after it, not knowing that Sentinel's ship got damaged. Megatron saw a perfect plan - go to Earth, retrieve the Allspark, open the space bridge, activate the collector, repower and rebuild Cybertron, and crush the autobots, ending the war for good. Somehow he got damaged on the way - probably hit an asteroid, and crashed on Earth near the polar regions. He and the Allspark were found by humans that knew nothing of what was going on with Unicron or the solar collector.

Before the Allspark landed, while the fighting was going on on Cybertron, other knights that had been sent out to find Unicron had located him on earth. Merlin met them, and taught them about humans, especially about King Arthur. They realized that Quintessa would destroy all life on earth to stop Unicron and repower Cybertron. They hid their ship at the bottom of the ocean, and they bound the staff to Merlin so that it would remain hidden. Quintessa had already been moving Cybertron when Sentinel opened the spacebridge opened to Earth. When the spacebridge failed, she started moving Cybertron toward Earth at warp speed, burning up Cybertron's remaining energon reserves, since time was running out before Unicron would awaken.

Now to wrap it all up, here's how a few plot holes get tied. The original primes knew that Unicron could only be destroyed by using Quintessa's staff and the knights' ship. The solar harvester would freeze Unicron, but couldn't outright kill him. Once Unicron was frozen, the staff would be used to deliver the killing blow. After the Allspark was lost in space, a bunch of Autobots and Decepticons went out looking for it, like Jetfire, Bumblebee, etc. They ended up on Earth, but in the 20th century. They didn't know about the knights or Unicron, but were just looking for the Allspark. When signs of the Allspark were found everyone started calling their buddies in space. Enter Optimus, Jazz, Ironhide, and the others in the first movie. The "creators" were responsible for cyberforming various planets and creating robotic life. They were not involved in Cybertron's war, but had created various worlds like Cybertron and Velocitron and some others. Lockdown was their henchman. He was programmed to capture any wayward robots that would interfere with their cyberforming, among other things. After they discovered earth was Unicron, Lockdown decided to keep the dinobots imprisoned because they had grown too wild owing to their alternate forms and couldn't be released without wreaking havoc. When the "creators" learned that Cybertronians had again landed on earth, lockdown was sent to eliminate them before they could accidentally wake up Unicron. The presence of a Cybertronian with an active Matrix of Leadership was a serious problem as that would cause Unicron to stir, so Optimus Prime was targeted by Lockdown to be removed from the earth intact, and the Matrix taken to the "creators". He didn't care about the humans at all, and the seed they were given as a gift would cyberform too small an area of the planet to worry about. It would also allow him to cover his tracks when the humans most interested in it would be killed by it. When Prime left with the seed he hid it away somewhere in the asteroid field, then went on to try to find the "creators", but ran out of power and went into stasis lock. Quintessa found him, and lied to him, telling him that SHE was the creator when she was just a pretender, controlling Cybertron's core, and having been the one that dispatched the knights to find Unicron in the first place.

That's how I tie everything up. This make any sense?

It should've bombed, because it's an unoriginal, uninspired, convoluted mess. It's only slightly less worse than Revenge of the Fallen. The writers room and Micheal Bay are hacks and give very little about movie making. The whole movie is just random crap.

For example, who got the most screen time in the town battle in the post-apocalyptic beginning? Humans and drones people. Onslaught (a combiner leader which should be a big deal, and is just a rehash of a Constructicon in the movie) gets killed in 3 seconds, the racist stereotype bot gets killed in 2 seconds.

They don't care about anything of the last movie. As stated before, Dinobots were suppose to be the Knights, and then there are 12 more, and they form a dragon. But there are also knights in the ship, the zombie one who died I think. But they could still form the dragon.
They know NOTHING about movie making, sure you see some colors and pretty people with some funny strange dialogue. But that's not movie making. And what the f*cks up with the changing aspect ratio?
And how the f*ck do they make baby Dinobots?
Yes you see a few robots, you see a little action, names get slapped around. Quintessa, Unicron, Megatron, Nemesis Prime. And there's a real traditional combiner in it as well!
None of that sh*t makes any sense and none of that sh*t is done even remotely right.
All I read here and see online are fans trying to imagine and theorize how things fit and try to make it cooler for their own experience. But NO, Optimus Prime, beaten down by Bumblebee, Knights, with no upgrade whatsover killed a combiner in 1 strike. That's bullsh*t.
Megatron has that same face paint as Optimus but isn't under the control of Quintessa like Prime is. WHYYY!!!????

I know, it's just a dumb movie, like Minions, you just have to watch and enjoy it.
But FFS man, I'm watching Transformers Prime for the first time and I've finished watching
X-Men Animated a while ago.
Transformers Prime is WAAAYYY better than the movies, they even do cool camera angles during
combat and try new things. Autobots are actually good, not assholes.
In X-Men Animated they did the Sentinels way better than the movies, they got Apocalypse right.
Which they totally f*cked up in the X-Men Apocalypse movie, satan damn, Apocalypse is my favorite Marvel villain and they effed that up.

Glad they'll show Terminator 2 in 3d in the theaters soon.

This movie is so bad, it doesn't even have a tie in video game.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was a decent and at times pretty good movie game.

Sorry for rant, but it's a bad movie, it shouldn't make a lot of money.

The knights were charged with protecting Cybertron from Unicron. The dinobots were the largest and strongest knights, sent out first to locate Unicron, which they found on earth. They took the forms of the local life, which were dinosaurs. They subdued Unicron and kept him from waking up, but the ships with the "creator" people wanting to cyberform earth showed up, along with Lockdown, and the dinobots lost the fight and were imprisoned by Lockdown. Once the "creators" realized that earth was home to the big bad Unicron and cyberforming him was REALLY BAD bacause it would wake the dude up and make him super powerful, they stopped and left the planet, but not before they had wiped out most life on the planet. They stripped off the cyberforming they had done and it left a layer of iridium. Millions of years later, the 13 original Primes located Unicron and they arrived on earth intending to build and use the solar harvester to drain the sun and put Unicron in a deep freeze so he couldn't awaken. When local life proved intelligent the primes decided they couldn't morally go through with the plan, so they decided to bury the solar harvester in a pyramid structure and built some fake ones to hide the nature of the harvester. They didn't want to wreck it incase it had to be used as a last resort. The Egyptians later copied their pyramids for tombs, thinking the original pyramids were "tombs of the gods". Anyway, one of the primes rebelled, since Unicron was too big a threat to Cybertron and he wanted the big U destroyed for good. He tried to get hold of the Matrix of Leadership to turn the thing on, but the other primes hid it away. They wouldn't kill the rebel prime, being unwilling to kill one of their own, so they sacrificed themselves instead. How The Fallen never found them and why he left... eh, someone else can figure that out.

So then on Cybertron the war isn't going so well for the Autobots. Sentinel Prime goes missing, and Optimus Prime decides to eject the Allspark from the planet to keep Megatron from gaining control over it. Sentinel was already headed for Earth when his ship gets damaged on the way out. Megatron knew that Earth was Unicron the whole time, having learned about it from Quintessa, and brought Sentinel into the mix, telling him of the plan to use the solar harvester to prevent Unicron from waking up, and Sentinel would use the space bridge to bring Cybertron into orbit to suck up the power, and Quintessa would kill Unicron. When Megatron found out Optimus ejected the Allspark, he knew it would be drawn to Unicron, and went flying off after it, not knowing that Sentinel's ship got damaged. Megatron saw a perfect plan - go to Earth, retrieve the Allspark, open the space bridge, activate the collector, repower and rebuild Cybertron, and crush the autobots, ending the war for good. Somehow he got damaged on the way - probably hit an asteroid, and crashed on Earth near the polar regions. He and the Allspark were found by humans that knew nothing of what was going on with Unicron or the solar collector.

Before the Allspark landed, while the fighting was going on on Cybertron, other knights that had been sent out to find Unicron had located him on earth. Merlin met them, and taught them about humans, especially about King Arthur. They realized that Quintessa would destroy all life on earth to stop Unicron and repower Cybertron. They hid their ship at the bottom of the ocean, and they bound the staff to Merlin so that it would remain hidden. Quintessa had already been moving Cybertron when Sentinel opened the spacebridge opened to Earth. When the spacebridge failed, she started moving Cybertron toward Earth at warp speed, burning up Cybertron's remaining energon reserves, since time was running out before Unicron would awaken.

Now to wrap it all up, here's how a few plot holes get tied. The original primes knew that Unicron could only be destroyed by using Quintessa's staff and the knights' ship. The solar harvester would freeze Unicron, but couldn't outright kill him. Once Unicron was frozen, the staff would be used to deliver the killing blow. After the Allspark was lost in space, a bunch of Autobots and Decepticons went out looking for it, like Jetfire, Bumblebee, etc. They ended up on Earth, but in the 20th century. They didn't know about the knights or Unicron, but were just looking for the Allspark. When signs of the Allspark were found everyone started calling their buddies in space. Enter Optimus, Jazz, Ironhide, and the others in the first movie. The "creators" were responsible for cyberforming various planets and creating robotic life. They were not involved in Cybertron's war, but had created various worlds like Cybertron and Velocitron and some others. Lockdown was their henchman. He was programmed to capture any wayward robots that would interfere with their cyberforming, among other things. After they discovered earth was Unicron, Lockdown decided to keep the dinobots imprisoned because they had grown too wild owing to their alternate forms and couldn't be released without wreaking havoc. When the "creators" learned that Cybertronians had again landed on earth, lockdown was sent to eliminate them before they could accidentally wake up Unicron. The presence of a Cybertronian with an active Matrix of Leadership was a serious problem as that would cause Unicron to stir, so Optimus Prime was targeted by Lockdown to be removed from the earth intact, and the Matrix taken to the "creators". He didn't care about the humans at all, and the seed they were given as a gift would cyberform too small an area of the planet to worry about. It would also allow him to cover his tracks when the humans most interested in it would be killed by it. When Prime left with the seed he hid it away somewhere in the asteroid field, then went on to try to find the "creators", but ran out of power and went into stasis lock. Quintessa found him, and lied to him, telling him that SHE was the creator when she was just a pretender, controlling Cybertron's core, and having been the one that dispatched the knights to find Unicron in the first place.

That's how I tie everything up. This make any sense?


You ingested too much energon hefe? :lol:

Okidoki EunuchRon, I'm going to read it again because so much info. Very cool :)

Now I'm going to write something.

Transformers McGuffin:

Transformers 1, Allspark, everyone needs it because it has the power to create life.
It kills a Transformer when put close to the spark.
It revives a Transformer from the dead when put close to the spark.
It crashlanded on a distant alien planet called Dirt.

Transformers 2, Allspark Shard, Matrix of Leadership, Sun Harvester. (I know writers strike, bla bla) Allspark Shard revives Megatron, other Allspark shard we never see again. 12 or 13 primes, they die because 1 is supposedly stronger or whatever. They had a poem to the location of the harvester. And they need the Matrix to activate it. The fallen just arrived on planet Dirt a long time ago just because.
One of the most beloved Transformers ever has 2 testicles and gets defeated by 2 minibots, but I'm going offtopic now.

Transformers 3, Pillars, they need it to get Cybertron to earth. Now this is my most favorite one because of Ultimate Doom reference. Still, everyone's after pillars, but also character development.

Transformers 4, The Seed, everyone wants the seed and doesn't want the others to have the seed. Transformers, or the creators were on earth even before humans. Eh, you have Dinobots who were Knights, captured by Lockdown who arrived in the present day on earth. Still Dinobots have Dinosaur altmodes. They aren't Primes, but Optimus Prime is a Knight. The creators are organic, and the dogs of Lockdown are cyborgs, and Hound (an autobot good guy who acts like an ashole) shoots a random alien. Anyway big magnet in the air for spectacle but a completely useless weapon who only needs 1 bullet to the eyeball to die, but offtopic again.

Sorry for the long rant guys, just look this post over.

Transformers 5, we need the seal who's a body creeper, and we need the decendant of a drunk Stanly Tucci wizard, but we also need the Last Knight to protect the Staff, which we also need so that we can activate Cybertron because it's dead and in pieces but underway to earth now. Within a few hours, eventhough they needed a huge freaking space bridge in Transformers 3 to get Cybertron to earth. Now the planet can move on its own to planet Dirt. Quintessa wants the staff to revive Cybertron by killing Earth which is Unicron. But Quintessa is a Prime, so she should also be a Dinobot Knight. But the Knights are 12 Transformers who form 1 dragon who were on earth in medieval times. And all the primes died by forming a pyramid on planet Dirt but she wasn't there because she doesn't look like a Bionicle she looks like Cortana from Halo but with hentai tentacles. So she wants to kill Unicron who is Earth which was metalized by multiple seeds during Dinosaur time according to Transformers 4. And The Fallen didn't know he was on Unicron when he woke up. And then there's Sentinel Prime, who isn't a Dinobot or Knight. But there's organic grass on Cybertron because f*ck it.

Did anyone of the movie makers give a *%@# about Transformers?

Questions I still have:

Megatron/Galvatron, What the f*ck?
What's wrong with Bumblebee, why is he Iron Man 3 suit 42?
Again baby Dinobots?
Who's the Constructicon on the junkyard?
Why is Quintessa a creator, but doesn't look like one and is a Prime?
Why is John Torturro in this movie?
If they're going to call him Nemesis Prime, why isn't he black/teal?
Did Drift fight anyone more than half a second? Why is he red now?
Did Crosshairs shoot anything more than half a second?
Was it a joke that Transformers were on earth and with every single event with humans?
Why couldn't Bumblebee speak eventhough he could speak in Transformers 2?

For those still reading, of course I shouldn't be nitpicking, but this is not nitpicking. And they annoyed the hell out of me because the rest is very bad. If the action and fight outcome choices were better, longer and if the story and dialogue were better. The characters were better I couldn't care less about the gigantic consistencies between the movies. Why does Bay have to re-invent the past over and over again? Why have Transformers always been on earth in every single movie again?

Anyway the movie franchise should die. Start again with Bumblebee, and give him screentime.
My god, the movie team just had a box of toys and a fetish for Sir Anthony Hopkins and brunettes, found some cool elements in some comic, movie, internet meme or whatever and made The Last Knight. It's nonsense.

Sorry people, this movie just makes me mad.
