Yeah... I know...

For real though, can't he make Badboys 3 or something instead?

Bad Boys 3 don't pay nearly as well as TF 5, or 6. Nobody says no to cash, and like I said, Hasbro and Paramount are so afraid of rocking the boat that they'll keep piling money on his lap until he agrees to make another TF movie.

...that is, until his TF movies stop making money. Just a matter of time before they grow too stale to bring in the audiences, TBH. Which is probably why they're playing around with the whole MCU-style expanded universe thing for Transformers.


"When" is anybody's guess. But until then though, brace yourself for more Bayverse in the future.

Given that AoE performed very well in terms of profits, I don't think that's going to be a trend any time soon. Oh well. At least I actually like movie Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs.

Yeah, at the core of it, CGI robots will almost always save the day--it actually made ROTF watchable if you fast-forwarded past the human bits, didn't it?

Seriously, though, AoE was pretty decent since Bay/Kruger finally put some emphasis on the lore or the TF's (Creators, knights, etc.) instead of cooking up yet another Macguffin for the human protagonist to go on an Easter egg hunt. Could have done a better job of introducing the Dinobots, but it's a start. And since it's Bay, I never expect too much.

And finally, he got rid of the ass-clown characters (Lucas and Tucci sort of count, but at least they were actually funny and far more tolerable than Leo, Ken Jeong or Sam's mom). The lack of army presence was quite refreshing as well.

Thought we might have made it to page 2 before that dribble popped up AGAIN.

Are we not allowed to talk about what worked and didn't work in the previous films?

Well, I didn't really have any attachment to the pre-AoE characters either, aside from Ironhide. While there wasn't any kind of character development with Hound, Drift, or Crosshairs, they did make watching the scenes with them in it fun. The main reason is that they reminded me of the Maximals from Beast Wars. Not any characters specifically, just more in the way they behaved as a loosely-tied group who get on eachothers nerves more than they could work as a unit, and they were led by an over-worked Optimus who was pretty much done with trying to get them to behave. That's why I liked them.
