We saw the inside of Prime's chest in Movie 1. No Matrix there.

His chest opens slightly in the movie we don't see deep into him. You can just retcon that Prime always had the Matrix.

Bo-ring!

At least the events surrounding the Matrix were among the few (and I mean VERY few) exciting points in ROTF.

I agree with you on that but what I mean is that it isn't something that effected the story in DOTM if ROTF never existed. Having Megatron alive and well in DOTM is a huge continuity problem. Prime always having the Matrix, it works.

I just hope the ride opens before SDCC.

It will. It's supposed to open in the spring. I'm hoping by March. Haven't watched the que line video yet -not enough time.

It made me a happy fangirl to know that Ironhide is alive, if this taking place post-DOTM. It was an unnecessary "death" by Bay. And then Ratchet disappears for the rest of the movie until the very end. WTF. If Bay wanted to kill off some Autobots, why not the twins or the Wreckers, or someone who isn't apart of the main team?

But it just makes me happy that they realized that these are some beloved characters that they are using for the ride (except for Wheelie). I can't wait to experience this ride for my self.

Other than the Sideways/Sideswipe fail, this looks amazing. Grindor named and seen in the ride? YES THANK YOU! I love how some of the best characters are seen in the various briefings (Shockwave's cameo made me smile), and the shop looks really cool. Need to get me a Sideswipe T-shirt...

With all these dead characters being alive (including those who deaths were important, impactful, and meaningful), I think it's safe to assume that this ride exists in its own micro-continuity outside of the main movie timeline.

i skimmed through the vid. Pretty cool. Shame this ride/Bay movies have no nods to good ole Teletran 1. I would love to see it

Hope it doesn't turn out cheesy-ass.

There's a difference? sorry if this comes off smartass-ish but i'm serious. Prime looks the same in all 3 movies to me so what is different between 2 and 3? I imagine it'd be minor things but i am curious. lol

They also state Director Michael Bay served as a creative consultant, and voice actors from the films have contributed to the ride.

Since all of the above are dead (or MIA, in Ravage's case) and haven't yet been given any canonical reason for their suddenly being alive, I'd say this ride is OOC with the movies and the accompanying fiction.

Forget the continuity and enjoy the ride!

I can still enjoy it knowing it's its own entity.

Is it me or is the animation not as good as in the movies? :-?

Should be just as good since ILM worked on the ride too.

^ This

Deserves some explanation. Like tons of shards of the alspark suddenly reviving them all. And Sideways Escaping for TF4. He is awesome, he needs his own movie.

Ahem.

But maybe this will just be kind of a "Happening inside ROTF" thing?

Makes sense this does not. MMMmm!

They also forgot to mention that Ironhide and Ratchet are apart of the ride. They may not be in the actual ride, but they give the tactics and information you need during the pre-show to understand the ride.

Not to mention, the most important Transformer: Evac.

How is he awesome? He's a coward who doesn't like fighting, he hides behind larger Decepticons as though they were his security blanket, and is an expert at doing this:

He's no RiD/Armada/RobotMasters/Cybertron/Animated Sideways.
