I've always hated that saying. I'd much rather the world be blind and just than blatantly unjust, taking pride in its wicked ways, wearing every sin as a badge of honor.
I don't think you quite understand the saying as it's more about how you deal with people. To put it simply hatred breeds hatred, sly, if you really wanted a just world, you would want to put an end to the hatred as well, and help everyone overcome it.
Heh, guess I'm letting my optimistic side show more, oh well, never hurts to smile
See, I always thought that quote to mean that no one should be punished for anything. But in the case of raw vengeance, yeah, I see where you're coming from. I don't think emotion should be involved with any punishment.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Look at that, you've but proven my point. You're coming at me on some hater shit, without even understanding where I'm coming from. I don't come here talking about these things out of my ass. If you can show me a significant number if instances throughout human history that contradict with what I said, by all means.
Anyway, yesterday, my sister showed me a video on her phone. It was one of the TLK cast members, on set, saying he was "making energon," and he had dozens of bottles filled with some type of green goo around him. I don't know where she got the video, but I thought it would be important to mention that there's actual physical energon this time around. Which is cool, but why green?

Shouldn't the question be, why not green?
Besides, if memory serves correctly, isn't Transformer "blood" green? Speaking strictly on the movie's incarnation of their species.

Well, AllSpark energy is blue, and its main power was energon.Madeus Prime wrote:SlyTF1 wrote:Anyway, yesterday, my sister showed me a video on her phone.

The KSI robots had green blood, and Lockdown vomited some green liquid when he was killed. I think Ironhide had some green liquid dripping from his mouth when he died, too. Other than that, energon has usually been pink or purple in every other continuity.

I always assumed that was just the energy emitted by the Allspark, and not energon itself.
I completely forgot about synthetic energon in TF Prime. That was green.

Energon is energy, though. It's even in the name.SlyTF1 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The AllSpark in the movies runs on energon and its energy was colored blue, wasn't it?SlyTF1 wrote:Madeus Prime wrote:SlyTF1 wrote:Anyway, yesterday, my sister showed me a video on her phone.

Granted, it's likely not "normal" energon, as the AllSpark wouldn't even be needed if ordinary energon could do the whole "life-giving" thing on its own, but still probably some special kind of energon, converted from normal energon by the cube to give it life-granting properties.

Yeah, what he said. Though in all seriousness, maybe opt-optimus is thinking that the release of pictures from the film sets is just a marketing campaign. In a way he's right but it's something every movie does.

An in-universe explanation for that was given years ago saying that the altmodes' disguising tech projects imagery of the altmodes in pristine condition to help in their hiding the robot inside.reluctantyouth wrote:What bothers me... As with Every transformers movie CGI rendering to actual is... He looks battle damaged or scanned a junked scooter. When we see him in vehicle mode though... He'll be a shiny brand new looking Vespa or some crap. Even the twins in ROTF... For the brief second we saw them before they scanned the Chevy looked new. Where is the attention to detail then? I'm tired of the car commercial movie. Show the dang cars with Battle damage... Won't hurt poor little GMs image one bit.
Not the best reason but it's better than Optimus having to say "General Motors forbids our vehicle modes from ever looking dirty."

This^ I'd imagine car companies are very particular about how they cars look to potential customers and will want them to look as attractive as possible. Personally I just accept it as it is and roll with it.

I didn't know that filming coverage was something most movies use as a promotion to their films. Seeing pictures photographed by Bay, Isabella Moner, and filming staff on location will level up the interest in the movie. How do I know? Because no matter how I felt after Age of Extinction, curiosity will get the best of me and I'm probably going to see it in theaters.
Probably because he looks inspired from a Mini-Con. (Hint): Fixit Speaking of Mini-Cons, what if there are Mini-Cons in this film and they all have that partnership/hidden weapon gimmick like Armada?ZeroWolf wrote: Still looks like a minicon to me.

I wouldn't depend on reviews and another person opinion on movie you won't know you like something unless you try it for self are you going to take someone review on basic pizza that you never had before instead of smelling, tasting it for your self people disagree with critics more than you know if people listened to critics transformer 4&5 would not have made billion at box office.

This is probably false. While that might account for some of it, the main income is from three things:dragons wrote:if people listened to critics transformer 4&5 would not have made billion at box office.
1. People who don't care about Transformers and just want to see a neat action movie.
2. Kids.
3. Chinese people.

I'll probably go see it in theaters too, I missed DOTM and AOE (still haven't seen AOE actually..) and it'd be great to see Transformers on the big screen. Actually.. has the 1986 movie ever been played in theaters?

However, knowing that Barricade is in this next movie stirs my interest in wanting to see it a bit. I loved Barricade in the first movie and thought he'd be gone for good after the 3rd one. I'm glad that I appear to have been wrong. Of course he could just do the same thing that Blackout did and change his name to something like Stockade before getting killed by Murder Prime.
