Red Knight not forming Dragonstorm was the only super serious part of my post. As I said, folks have been taking this stuff far too seriously lately.


The fact my rambling ends with Strafe going off to Jurrasic Park should be a giveaway. Hahaha. Anyway, I've made a thread for such sillyness.


Barricade being alive is not an issue. We saw his eyes and feet explode in DOTM, but never saw him die. And his eyes getting shot out makes sense for why now he has 4 eyes. Backup eyes!


Starscream's head turning up miles away isn't an issue. It's how it got fixed. We saw scrap is being scavanged, it's not unreasonable to assume someone recovered it and took it away, and Daytrader aquired it from that person. After all, Sentinel and Megatron's heads were recovered.


Lockdown made comments about the allspark thing. He asked Prime "You think you were born? You were bult! And your creator wants you back."

I just assume Quintessa used the Allspark to create Cybertron and give birth to Transformers. But in the eons since, Quintessa was lost to legend, but the Allspark remaind as that was a physical object and the Transformers started believing they were just born of the Allspark.

And now the Allspark is gone, Quintessa can't rebuild Cybertron properly, which is why it looks like melted cheese stretched between too much toast.

mmm...i'm hungry for melted cheese on toast now

I think that is supposed to be a crossed out Autobot symbol, like on Hound where he has crossed out con symbols to represent his kills. This time it's just on his chest in blood red crossing out symbols

Barricade's always had four eyes, but it could explain why he has two blue eyes in TLK besides being a police light bar homage. Looking at that scene Barricade only gets shot twice so maybe he was only half blind and still had two optics left.

When I saw early shots of Barricade with the "Protect and Serve" knuckles and logos instead of "Punish and Enslave" I got kinda confused and thought he might be Prowl or Bluestreak until I saw the closeup with the Decepticon badge.

Objection.

It's just the language of a press release. That always exaggerates to promote stuff.

...... movie still makes me mad

I just want to come back to this because it's probably one of the (many) things that makes me the most mad out of the entire movie. RANT INCOMING, in case you couldn't tell, and I apologize in advance. So when Hound stands up to the Decepticons in the junkyard, he more-or-less explodes. An explosion goes off on or in him, and engulfs him entirely.

...And then we cut away. To a totally different scene. And Hound just straight-up doesn't appear in the movie for like 45 minutes. I honestly thought they'd killed him off without so much as a backward glance, and that made me especially mad because Hound was literally the one character I'd found entertaining from the last movie.

And then when he comes back? There's no fanfare, no "Hound oh my god you're alive we're so happy to have you back you fat ballerina". He's just... there. In a random shot, in the middle of a random scene. They're looking up at Cybertron in Earth's atmosphere and excuse me if I paraphrase a bit, but it goes something like: Drift says "hey look at that thing", Hound goes "I think that's Cybertron", Crosshairs is like "yep it is", and then my friend and I watching the thing take nearly five seconds to process that hey I guess Hound is back now that's cool.

And that's when my anger goes from frustration at the (narratively-somewhat-understandable) death of the only character I liked, to pure rage at the sheer incompetence of the people making this movie. You do not show a character exploding and then have them not appear for upwards of half an hour before randomly having them show back up without so much as an acknowledgement of their absence. This is not high-level stuff. This is basic storytelling. Ugh I thought I was over this movie but I clearly am not.

...And hopefully that's out of my system. Again. Gawd this movie made me so mad (and apparently still does); at least the toys are good .

This is very true, and truth be told I'm probably not gonna buy a copy myself, even though I own all the others and my "catch 'em all" impulse is kicking in something fierce . I am a little tempted to get a copy so I can watch it again with the same friend and see if we both hate it as much with a bottle of alcohol by our sides (it's fine I'm in Australia it's legal 'cause we're tougher down here), but I suppose I can always pirate it borrow someone else's legally owned copy for that.

Because the Toys'R'Us version comes with an all new exclusive comic book!

This entire DVD is just Pandora's Box.

Why they are including the combiner wars series here, I've not the foggiest.
