If you consider that AoE and TLK opted for more smooth and humanoid designs, this actually fits. I admit I was confused at first, but once I realized it was real I was so so happy.

People, this is a reboot. Call it that or not, they're TRYING to break continuity of design. Remember when Marvel redesigned Hulk in the MCU? Yes Tony Stark appeared in The Incredible Hulk, and just like with this Transformers movie, Marvel intentionally forgot about that movie's ideas and designs WITHOUT ruining the plot continuity too much, EVEN with the change of an actor for Bruce Banner. I think a series of giant TRANSFORMING METAL ROBOTS who can CHANGE THEIR DESIGNS PURPOSEFULLY makes MUCH more sense to experiment with, and can work beautifully.

Plus this is an incredible way to kickstart the possibility of successful Transformers movies once again by adding LITERAL familiar faces to make jaded fans to the movies become more curious, AND to draw many new fans into the brand as a whole by giving them a big screen representation (or remake) of that original cartoon in a way. It works, and it works beautifully, regardless of everyone who don't want their pissing and swearing messes of metal to be touched with the ichiness of those horrrrribly outdaaated Saturday morning caartewwns. (And yes, I do enjoy SOME of the movie designs. Hell, I loved Dark of the Moon.)

Also shatup, Astrotrain looks awesome.

Isn't it a little late for that?

What are they gonna do just suddenly take it out of the movie? Go back in time to change it?

As much as I like the previous films we have had 5 films for us, I think it's time for a little fanservice for those who haven't had a live action version of the G1 designs.

Preach it.

Named after Arnie’s iconic action hero (“with the proper pronunciation like the awesome Barbarian, not the awesome talk-show host,” confirms director Travis Knight), the canine companion is just another thing for Bumblebee to try and get his metal head around when he joins forces with Charlie. “When Bumblebee encounters this creature, he tries to figure out how to communicate with him,” Knight tells Empire in the upcoming Review of the Year issue. “Him just trying to exist in a normal human domicile does not go very well.”

From the trailers, Bumblebee is looking like a warmer, more Amblin-esque entry into the series, and is the first live-action Transformers movie not to be directed by Michael Bay. Read Empire’s Bumblebee trailer breakdown with Travis Knight here, and read plenty more about the film in the December issue of Empire, on sale on 1 November.

And it turns out I'm partially right: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transition_form This actually gives a canon explanation as to how we can have G1 style Cybertronian forms despite their appearance in the first movie.

That page is talking about specifically the comet/meteor modes as the Transition forms, not the rocky robot modes of the Protoforms.

He did it in all five of the movies with goo goo dolls, linkin park and imagine dragons. He detests when songs are recorded for a movie and then wasted in the credits or trailers.

So what this means for the movie is that the only reason this has its PG-13 rating is because of robot fighting time.

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:As many fans will remember, the previous 5 movies included text related to "intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor, and language." This film, however, only contains the very brief description "Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence."

I've said that even before TLK (after AoE) and I've been sitting in the cinema's hall sometime in the first two weeks of its release or I think even on its first day because I guess I haven't seen any reviews

But this time I'll definitely wait for some reviews *fingers crossed*

I’m not little kid I don’t need and never listen to reviews tell what movie I want to see here is what happen when people need reviews tell them what to do in life my father wanted see movies revenant and blade runner two I did not those trailers look boring to me but those two movies received high rating reviews I was boarded out of mind watching reverent and I fell sleep through first half of blade runner two and woke up with headache for music being loud you couldn’t hear people in movie talking that’s how loud music blade runner two received high ratings I did not like both of those movies what is answer that........?

Well if people don’t like humor in transformers movies and sexual jokes what is explanation for people who like marvel movies that have sexual jokes in them guardians of galaxy 2 talking about nipples and penis, Thor ragnarock making joke of dead person who is dead, marvel movies have same comedy from previous transformers movies and are successful but they do not act like in comics and cartoons.

Having comedy in movie or not does not make it good movie Thor 3 had to much comedy I didn’t like it,

The most advanced graphics you'd get on an early/mid 80s machine would be something like a Commodore 64 home computer, which would still look nowhere near that nice. You might get something like that on an Amiga or a late 80s arcade machine, maybe?

Still, awesome.

Actually the mega drive debuted in Japan in 1988, and then the US the following year. Europe didn't get it till the year after that. Though considering the movie is set in 1987, I would say the game is inspired by the latest arcade games that were making waves, some of which would hit the mega drive in its first assortment of games.

To be fair though, the mega drive didn't really hit its stride till a certain blue hedgehog turned up in 1991...
