Blame him for what? Having an eye for a different aesthetic style than you do? Let's burn the witch!tffan01 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Erm, Michael Bay isn't the one who makes the robot mode designs for the movie TFs.

For what though you should explain how approving a design makes him at fault.
I really hope we continue to get more designs like this film and ROTF that are creative for our franchise like wheelbots and smooth armored Knights.
And Dino because his designs is the best one in my opinion in the whole franchise.

Blame him for what? Having the Transformers look the way they do? Having them look like how an alien robot would most likely look in reality? Not being all blocky and angular like in the cartoons?, so one could still blame him.

took me ages to figure out how to embed a video...
Posted by tffan01 on May 17th, 2017 @ 7:08am CDT
Firstly, I don't actually have a problem with the movie designs, in fact, my first exposure to the franchise was with the movies. Secondly, I'm only saying that one could blame Bay if they don't like the aesthetic. He's the man in charge, you know. He's the one who approved the designs he himself requested from concept artists.
Also, yeah I DO have proof that he was the one who approved the designs:

"Listen, I just didn't want to make the boxy characters. It's boring and it would look fake. By adding more doo-dads and stuff on the robots, more car parts, you can just make it more real. I was listening to the fans and I know they hated the Optimus paint job with the stripes. Why did I do it? Because I liked the ribs. That caused a lot of grief."

Demonstrate how he's the only Autobot to have never been killed despite being in all four previous films?
I can't seen to word that properly but you get what I mean.

We got four films with Transformers all dying after getting blown to bits or torn apart or otherwise completely mangled into a pile of parts, and yet when it happens to Bumblebee (FIVE MOVIES IN, no less), he can just reassemble himself like it was nothing?
I mean, Bee loses just his legs in the first film and acts like he's in severe pain, moving very slowly as though he's on the verge of death. But now he can have every body part fall apart and be A-OK after a simple self-reassembly by the power of magic all of a sudden.
If we don't get some in-universe explanation (and which better be a darn good one), then that is complete and utter BULL-SQUIRT!

Yeah like in the 86 movie. If only met the Autobots met the junkions before Optimus died.
Seriously, like I said KSI created new transformer tech in the last one and by the end of the movie Joshua became allies with Cade and the Autobots. We've seen in the other trailers them working Bee in the junkyard. It's not that hard to figure it out that Bumblebee has been upgraded.
Certainly better and throwing a fit over 5 seconds in a 2 minute trailer to a over 2 hour long movie.

ok...at first I had the same reaction, but I was reminded of a video recently explaining how Ultra Magnus got put back together by the Junkions in TF:TM, despite the fact that so many other Autobots & Decepticons had just died.
I guess the safe answer is...TF's can get blown apart, as long as their spark is in tact they will live on. But the pulling yourself back together thing... that would have been way better if they did not reveal that in the trailer, kids would have went ballistic on seeing that (even if I think its kind of )

Which is still bonkers in and of itself that a mere human company was able to develop a level of scientific engineering that the very race of super robot aliens they based their tech on never even developed in their own evolution.Randomhero wrote:Seriously, like I said KSI created new transformer tech in the last one
Though, in any sane world, he'd be going to jail for the robot uprising he put the pieces together for, or at least be neck-deep in dealing with all the serious hits his company would be taking after KSI helped give Galvatron the army he needed to wreck Hong Kong.Randomhero wrote:and by the end of the movie Joshua became allies with Cade and the Autobots.
If you have to come up with your own personal rationale for it to make sense (in lieu of the film's presently not yet being released, of course), then doesn't it stand to reason that the presentation given as is doesn't make sense on its own since the explanation is coming from yourself rather than the source trailer we're provided with?Randomhero wrote:We've seen in the other trailers them working Bee in the junkyard.

Ah, thank you for enlightening me that one having a different opinion from yourself, and pointing out nonsense with elements of snark and bewilderment, equate to "throwing a fit".Randomhero wrote:Certainly better and throwing a fit over 5 seconds in a 2 minute trailer to a over 2 hour long movie.

That is why they put that hint-line in about Super Powers - and Cade is "The Last Knight" so it may come with super powers.
So that is why he's able to reconstruct Bee in a similar way to how Buster Witwicky does Jetfire.
Speaking of which that would have been useful to have 8 years ago for poor ol' Jetfire - but then he did also disrupt his own spark (unless Jolt kept it in a box for the last 8 years).
But I doubt Bee does that to himself - "Unless" he gets special abilities too (which is hinted at in some promo-material) but I would expect him to get a body upgrade if he does .
Also who or what shot him ?

A mere human also changed the entire thought of what black holes are in his thesis. His name is Stephen Hawking. Joshua was shown to be a genius that broke down the transformers physiology and "improve it"
We know that from movies 1-3 they didn't share their technology. Once the Alicante was broken KSI started taking them apart and discovering things. That's not that far fetched. Humans have always been changing what's been perceived and creating the impossible. It's not that hard to believe that humanity could change the fundamentals of transformer physiology.
And if you don't believe that well...nebulons and headmasters. It's not an old idea that organic can change transformers to perform better.

Looks like he was tussling Barricade. Or some cops, anyways.
Also... superpowers? Aheh... where uh... where did you make that... hehe... assumption?

I don't think anything shot him. I think he disassembled himself, and then reassembles to catch TRF by surprise.

Hot Rod's in that scene too so if it's anything like 1986...
Anyways out of all the returning AOE bots I expect Hound to die since with the decent amounts of time in AOE and his upbeat attitude more of the general audience probably cares about him above say Crosshairs who is a jerk and Drift who is stoic which makes Hound the perfect one to die either in battle or as a sacrificial lion Hound.

Said "entire thought" was also previously conceived by other of his own race before him, not an advanced alien race whose science far outclassed humanity's by several millennia.Randomhero wrote:A mere human also changed the entire thought of what black holes are in his thesis.

-Michael Bay
I think Bay got very confused there ; that sentence makes so little sense - I've had results from translating Chinese that made more sense than that.
So if he's saying adding things like moving cogs (what we'd likely call "Mech Alive") stuff is fine a bit fussy looking - but fine.
In some ways though Movie Transformers often have LESS Kibble not more.
sure Ironhide had visible break discs in his shoulders and they tend to retain some car parts around and about a bit - but Optimus now has none at all bar a hint of smokestacks.
Bumblebee is more like a Traditional Transformer in that he retains his door kibble and car hood-chest (pretty much) and also has some visible wheels in his ankles and shoulders.
--
I don't think anyone hates Optimus with Stripes - heck even "Evasion mode" Prime still has flames. It is the flames that bug some people sometimes - I don't mind to much as it's not as if Transformers have not had flames on them before.
I'm not sure what he means by Ribs though - does he mean the red panels on 2009's Optimus' abs or the Dark of the Moon change to the belly ?
Or the striping on Western Star Optimus' belly.
I'm confused.

And in age of extinction they were dissecting transformers brains. Who knows what they found in them. It doesn't change the fact that it's possible.

Ironhide got plenty of new mold toys in DOTM and look how that treated him.
If there is an AOE Autobot death in this it's going to be emotional and what could be more emotional then killing off the big friendly emotional guy eh?

And other bits and pieces if your looking for them, the problem is not that there is no kibble on Prime but it's the fact that all his parts bend and warp like liquid metal so basically Transformers Prime and New RID designs in movie form.

I already did it earlier and was gonna take a photo but then i thought it would be cool if i did it stop motion with him reforming but then i realised that would be hours of tediousness to set up and so i quit.
But yeah I think most people have accidentally pulled off an arm or leg or head from a Transformer whether posing or transforming them or whatever.
