That's what xenophobic rhetoric will bring you.

Yup. Sides mean nothing. All people see is a war was brought to their planet that all transformers are responsible for. Anyhow, they didn't leave earth and as a result Chicago was destroyed. I know, i Know...
"But if they would have left then Earth would have been enslaved."
But how may people bedsides Nest really knew that? To a majority of the world, the transformers just destroy everything they touch.
As far as the human collaborators go most (if not all) were killed by the decepticons already. So no need to mention them.

Not to mention that the previous films have shown the humans to possess weaponry that can kill Cybertronians. The humans soldiers are the bad guys in this movie, showing no mercy to the Autobots, wanting them all dead. If they're going after Ratchet, who evidently refuses to fight back, and get him cornered, they will not hesitate to be a ruthlessly swift in doing what they believe needs to be done. In that scenario of Ratchet vs. the humans, it's Ratchet who is a goner.dreadwing95 wrote:TurboMMaster wrote:If they really need to kill Ratchet off, they should let Galvatron deal the fatal blow.

well ratchet doesnt exactly want to kill them as far as i can tell. so it really should be an easy kill for humans even though id rather him live. he really hasnt done much for me to want him to be killed. then again he hasnt really done much at all...

Most of transformers that died during Bay Movies didn't fight back, so it's not strong arument. And considering number of times Autobots were saved from certain death in this universe, I'm suprised that reality isn't going wild when Ratchet is cornered. Each Soldier fightning with Ratchet should beign hited by different thunder...Sabrblade wrote:Not to mention that the previous films have shown the humans to possess weaponry that can kill Cybertronians.

Yeah. different thunder?
I think it's sad but realistic for the humans to turn on the Autobots. People fear what they don't feel like they can control. They felt ok when they thought the Autobots needed them. But I bet when they pulled a fast one and didn't leave like they told them too, (In DOTM) they got sore. Yeah sure, that was a mistake, but people wanting to keep power don't admit mistakes.
But humans have shown an increasing ability to adapt, and would most likely have plenty of weapons to turn on an autobot. And when you're a good guy and a medic to boot, you don't want to fight back. Had they gone after Prime, he would have been able to take care of himself. But Ratchet is a medic. In war, that's a no-no but I don't think the humans are really concerned about that.

There's something vaguely sinister about their faces in that poster- especially Bumblebee's. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it's the fact that their eyes are obscured, or that I just realized that Bumblebee, the kid-appeal character, basically has a creepy T800-esque robot skull for a face.

Except they tried that with the second and third one. There was a lot more of the bots than in the first movie, and a lot of people hated it. They said there was too much of the bots, too much action, and not enough story.

Why can't there be a balance between the two? Just because the robuts are featured more often, doesn't mean that Bay has to overcompensate by taking away any vestiges of plot the movies still had. I honestly thinks that he sometimes forgets that the Transformers are actual characters with depth. What I want to see in AOE is more scenes like the ones in DOTM, with Optimus and Sentinel debating and Optimus mourning Ironhide. Scenes that convey the idea that they're actual characters, not just plot devices. Personally, I'd like to see a movie something along the lines of Rescue Bots and Transformers: Prime, where the humans are actually integral to the plot, but they don't hog screen-time and they don't just serve as the "token kids we're supposed to relate to". So basically, Human Alliance/Rescue Bots: The Movie.

I had to laugh when MW said this movie was more real/believable than the others. Unicron is coming...has to be. There is so little than can be said and MW said the Die Hards will be blown away with a new threat and new villains. Again I hope we see more than just Galvatron, Lockdown, and drones. I'm so pumped for the movie. I recently started dating someone that hasn't seen any of them. I'm not going to bother showing her TF or ROTF...think DOTM will prepare her for AOE. She is cool with my hobby and that is a major plus in my book. I had about given up on finding someone accepting of Transformers...do not know what it is about Central Illinois but women here are monumentally picky, uppity, and self absorbed to the max.

That had to be some people from just general movie-going audience. I doubt TF fans would frown on more bots even if they weren't characterized well. For instance, Jetfire, DotM Megatron and Shockwave. The characters sucked, but at least they were in there.
Would you guys have been OK with it if only Grimlock was introduced from the Dinobots, or did it have to be all 5 of them?

I really hope not.reluctantyouth wrote:Unicron is coming...has to be.
The sad truth of the matter is that these films ride on the success of catering to the lowest common denominator of casual moviegoers instead of fans, which leads to the human cast being the main focus since that's who general audiences want to see. Oh, they also want to see the robots too, but to them, the robots are "whats" rather than "whos". Plot devices, pretty special effects, and decoration rather than people. The non-speaking Decepticons being portrayed as savage monsters also doesn't help things.Black Bumblebee wrote:"What's different about this film is that this one has a stronger human element..."

Or even something like Masterforce, which was another series that used its humans elegantly and competently.Metro Prime wrote:Personally, I'd like to see a movie something along the lines of Rescue Bots and Transformers: Prime, where the humans are actually integral to the plot, but they don't hog screen-time and they don't just serve as the "token kids we're supposed to relate to".

The lack of humans in that show seemed to be okay for most people, but there were a lot of other things that people disliked about it at the time that the lack of humans probably didn't matter either way. But since the series was so poorly received back then, Hasbro's never tried a human-less TF TV series ever again.bluecatcinema wrote:All that talk about the "human element" reminds me that Beast Machines was the only Transformers series to be devoid of humans.

The closest they ever came back to doing this was with the Omega Keys arc in TF: Prime season 2, as well as the Predacons Rising movie, which were both devoid of human characters and that notion seemed much better received for each.
He said "Beast Machines". Waspinator's flashback shouldn't count.Agamemnon wrote:bluecatcinema wrote:All that talk about the "human element" reminds me that Beast Machines was the only Transformers series to be devoid of humans. I'm curious: How did that work out for everyone?

- When Optimus Prime Rises the CGI has been tweaked
- Additional ships in the space shot
- Crosshairs is now wearing his goggles
- Smoke has been added behind Cade and Shane as they're running
- The Nightship is visible in the shot where Cade punches down in slow motion
- Grimlock's position in the semifinal shot is different

Have you even seen the payoff trailer?
The humans have found the metal that the transformers are made of and it seems so far what they have is unstable so thats probably why Stinger's transformation is like that (he is human built)

Wonder who that wolf/dog thing might be. Is if Weirdwolf? Steeljaw/that guy who came with Human Alliance Leadfoot?A Movieverse, non-Fuzor version of Beast Wars SIlverbolt? Alternatively, it might just be Lockdown's "pet", fulfilling the same role as Igor from Dark of the Moon. Despite the fact that it's probably the latter out of the four, I can't help it but hope for it to be Silverbolt. His personality and knight-ish motif would mesh perfectly with the Dinobots' aesthetics.

Scorponok was part of Blackout's chopper
Ravage was a missle/protoform.
