Considering that Optimus hasn't only been a part of every franchise media in 1 for or another ever since 1084 and has the most diverse selection of figures in the entire franchise (even after the 2007 movie made Bee the main star), I will disagree with that. They actually recovered rather quickly, bringing back Prime in season 3, as well as changing Duke's fate in the G.I.Joe animated movie.Sabrblade wrote:They killed off Optimus back then because they didn't care about Optimus, a carelessness that backfired on them big time and from which they've never recovered to this day.
As for the SS B-127 from TFOne, I saw him at Wal-Mart and wasn't impressed. The figure is small, and the paint job is dull. Looks more like 2-step changer.

Ironic that, to me at least, I'm feeling the SS version is no better than mainline? They're about even. Mainline got a better looking upper body, SS got rid of the atrocious hollowness in the legs. Mainline's alt mode look sleeker, SS got all the weapons for a higher price. BOTH look unimpressive because they lack a ton of shiny, shiny gold paint. I'm going (again) with Yolopark AMK and some Threezero MDLX if I'm going into TF:1.

I would argue that killing off Optimus Prime unintentionally left a huge impact on young fans back in the day that it cemented an unlikely emotional connection between content and fans that continues to have lasting effects. Had Optimus survived the movie, I feel that this brand would not be what it is today. It was a poor decision at that time but it accidentally created an unprecedented bond between a toy brand and fans of that brand.

Yeah I agree that both mainline and ss have their pros and cons leaving them about as good. But that makes mainline the winner for me since it is priced lower. At a lower budget/price point they were able to come up with something on par with a higher priced deluxe.

Na, there's a bunch of storylines and source material they could have chosen and they went with the one that Beau De Mayo felt would be a better fit for the audience it was made for (as he recently confirmed when Disney was asking him to do different stories). And the source material did not get darker. The darkest material from the comics is not from the late 90s but instead from the earlier 80s with God Loves Man Kills and then from the more recent era of X-Force from 10 years ago (which they didn't use).
And yes fans have made the term pandering negative, but that's on them. And that's what I was pointing out. Someone called this new film pandering to its audience and all I did was call out that what they liked was pandering to them. If people are triggered by a term, then they shouldn't use it themselves because it can always be flipped right back to them.
And I want to be very clear, there is NOTHING WRONG with liking something that was specifically made to appeal to you, that's the point. There is nothing wrong with good fan service. We are fans, we will give our attention/money to what services us.
I loves X-men 97 and I can't wait to watch Transformers One. Till all are ONE
I never said the source material was from the late 90s,that's when things got a little... odd. I thought it was common knowledge that Xmen was drawing from the early/mid 80s since most comic shows usually reached back for content. FYI I think they adapted God loves man kills back in the day the best they could.

I agree on the impact of Optimus dying, as well as the subsequent backlash. But I do disagree that Hasbro never recovered from it. Not only did they recover, but practically built the franchise on the fandom's bond with Optimus.Seibertron wrote:I would argue that killing off Optimus Prime unintentionally left a huge impact on young fans back in the day that it cemented an unlikely emotional connection between content and fans that continues to have lasting effects.

- a clip from the film featuring the scene on the train as the four main bots reach the surface.
- a TV spot featuring the fight between Optimus and Megatron and some really high praise
- a general ad for the film showcasing the upcoming Studio Series figures for the film and pro football players like Calvin Johnson/Megatron.

IGN has woke'd/corrupted themselves into irrelevancy. Like most gaming journos.
If I want to see a review, I'd go with the public instead of the paid shills.
Regardless, I'll avoid any and all reviews before I'll go see the movie. I don't want any spoilers nor preconceived notions when I'll first see it.

So why are you ?
If you have the bare minimum of information, you know how IGN instigated a smear campaign against Black Myth Wukong and Stellar Blade, while giving "high praise" to Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, and Dustborn.
It's not just IGN. Some are pure "agenda" like Kotaku, but for most big gaming/movie sites, they act this way to not lose their privileged access. This principle is as old as the industry.
Independent reviewers is where it's at... That is, if they didn't had free tickets to Disneyland.
Eh, no one are immune to corruption. So that's why looking for multiple reviews from multiple sources is the best way to proceed. Or just TlDr and see the overall scores from the PUBLIC at Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic.
Posted by Glyph on September 12th, 2024 @ 5:21pm CDT
Re multiple sources - that's why I posted the RT rating so far, to note that IGN seemed to be in the minority on this.

Two incidents that are the exceptions. Pacific Rim? Any of the other Transformers movies? Most Marvel movies? (Critics loved The Eternals, but fans bombed it) Battle Angel Alita? Sorry, vast majority of critics have no damned idea what the general public likes. I'll be HAPPY if this succeeds because it means more TF movies sans humanus, but I just have a bad feeling.

Not necessarily.
Often, both officials and public opinions align. That's the proof of a PERFECT movie.
Still, the public opinion weight more IMO.
Especially when the critics love a movie but the public doesn't. Even more so when the publics reviews gets deleted in order to protect the movie.
Disney pay a lot of "protection money". But other companies didn't, like the ones who made the Borderland movie.

It just gives me Nickelodeon and illumination imbecile humor vibes. Apparently the trailer showcases 90% of them in sequence which is why it comes off as a complete joke.
I'm not feeling the art style whatsoever, that 2D animated clip that came out in the past few days is way more indicative of what I'd like to see, as well as high Moon studios Fall of Cybertron and war for Cybertron, but as a Transformers property, I am obligated to give it a chance.
I hope it's good, I really do, however, I have to say that as a Transformers movie, it's supposed to convince me to buy the toys, and there's not a single character design I'd want to have a toy of. As a movie, it might be great, as a toy commercial, eh...

Well, yes & no? I think it's not so simple for a franchise. Paramount is there to make money on the Box Office and VOD/Streamling money, Hasbro's in it for the licensing and toys sales. But the creative aspect is mostly in Paramount's hands and Hasbro probably have very little impact/input of the designs. And due to the toy development cycle vs. movie's CG production changes, we have mainline toys that comes out at the same time as the movie's theatrical release that can look very different to each other.
What I HATE since ROTB is that Hasbro coming out with "Studio Series" of movie figures that still doesn't look like the screen version. It's just the mainline fighting with the SS version for thesame spending money. It's stupid.

I know SS is focused more on scale (with the exclusion of Devastator) so getting a triple changer with the SS level of detailing into a deluxe mold just wasn't going to happen I don't think, at least not on the budget they wanted.

The first round of them, yeah. But the second Dropkick and Shatter releases used more accurate designs

This version of events is distinct from previous iterations, but takes just enough cues from established lore that it still resonates with how we long-time fans (or at least me!) feel the story is supposed to go. No aspect of this movie feels out of place or foreign.
Tonally, it rests on an admirable balance of accessible-to-kids and appreciable-to-adults. Other people in the theater, child and adult alike, laughed and gasped at the same parts.
I really liked the film, and I think it will have a positive impact on the perception of the franchise on the general public. It may even be the greatest movie of the year. Or maybe the decade.This will be a culture-shaping moment that will impact the philosophies of the coming years. When people of the future think back on the year 2024, they will remember that Donald Trump was shot and Transformers One graced our cinemas. This film will likely break the record for highest-grossing film of all time, soaring past Endgame and Titanic. This film could spawn a whole franchise that will last 40 years.

This movie is one big love letter to the brand, paying much respect to the past 40 years of history while also trying to do its own original take on familiar ground. Without spoiling anything, let's just say I was pleasantly that a lot of my personal predictions about the movie's plot were proven incorrect, as it's a lot less similar to the specifics of the Aligned backstory lore than the trailers initially made it appear to be. The broadest of broad strokes are similar of course, but so much of this movie's plot was either completely new or given a new spin.

Posted by william-james88 on September 15th, 2024 @ 10:00am CDT
It is very tough to assess if this is the best Transformers film. We have the 86 film which was literally as G1 as it can get, if you want to go by a purist standpoint. We have Bumblebee, which was a very well made film on a smaller scale and we had the 2007 Michael Bay film which did an amazing job at showing the potential of the Transformers franchise on the big screen, focusing on scale and spectacle.
Now we have Transformers One which gives us "EVERTHING" (said in the style of Gary Oldman from Leon The Professional). So does that make it the best film? Maybe the best Transformers film? Well definitely the MOST Transformers film.
If people wanted a whole film that was like the beginning of the Bumblebee movie, this is not far from it. The art style is a bit different, but aside from that your wishes come true. And it's even more brutal and violent than that Bumblebee opening. You know what, I'll say this: Transformers One is as brutal and violent as any Michael Bay film. The big difference here though is that those responsible for the brutality are the villains and not Optimus Prime.
Overall, the second trailer gives you a good idea of what is to be expected in the film, with a progression of D-16 and Orion Pax starting as miners and then ending up "evolving" twice in the film to finally end up as Megatron and Optimus Prime. And that is both a positive and a negative.
Positive-wise, it means the film accomplishes its mission of telling an origin story for not just these characters but for their factions too within just one hour and a half. Negative-wise, it means a lot of story beats are rushed. Optimus goes from a guy who doesn't really respect the rules to the Optimus Prime we know in a few days while Megatron also goes through a significant change in parallel. So take that as you wish. I personally would have wanted more time spent on this, but I also recognize how efficient the story telling is to convey all this in a short movie for all ages.
The conflict at hand was presented in a new way and is probably the best aspect of the movie. The writers found a very clever way for Orion Pax' and D-16's views and outlooks on their world to be completely changed and it's in how they react to these revelations that we see how they go on different paths, which are familiar to any Transformers fans. It's almost maddening how this "kids film" is more mature, lore heavy, and has more depth than any of the live action films.
I mention Orion Pax and D-16 a lot because the movie really does revolve around them. Bumblebee and Elita are more one dimensional but to be faire though, we've never had two compelling character arcs in a Transformers movie ever. And while less main, Bumblebee and Elita are a fine addition to the mix. Believe it or not, Bumblebee's more humoristic personality is explained as a product of his environment and the "Badassitron" line actually has a payoff. Generally, I didn't care for the humour but it didn't take away any enjoyment of the film for me; you could easily move on from what didn't land. I also want to mention Jon Hamm's Sentinel Prime who was an excellent version of the character and the bot that surprised me most. Oh and Steve Buscemi as Starscream worked well, even though he doesn't change his voice much.
In terms of animation, this is peak Transformers. I really loved seeing the characters use their alt modes as part of their fighting styles and specific moves, like converting just some parts to use them offensively and then converting back. As a longtime Transformers fan, this was a beauty to behold.
Speaking more about the plot and characters would dive into spoiler territory so I will end the review here by saying that this is a great Transformers film, probably the best, and I encourage all Transformers fans to give it a watch.
It gets 4 golden Rodimus stickers out of 5. While great overall there were some story beats that were too rushed for me, especially in the third act, and I felt that did take away some enjoyment.
