As for TLK, so far I get the vibe that it will be superior to RoTF and AoE, and on par with the original and DoTM.
I am most curious as to how they will reconcile having both Megatron and Galvatron.
is there proof of there being two individual characters?
my guess?
a stalwart and self-aggrandizing, Master-Warlord bot like Megatron,
(who chose his own name!)
isn't going to allow some grubby, filthy, Cybertronium stealing, corpse robbing,
FLESH-SQUISHIES,
put there moniker on the once and future king!

I think this is more deserving of its own thread; unless I'm missing a specific post or conversation?
Regardless I don't think this is strictly true or something that we can quantify without an actual survey. My experience is in fact the complete opposite - a lot of older people I know either like or don't care about the movies and their designs, while most of my peers think they're pretty terrible (though I'm not sure whether you'd define me as being a 'young' or 'old' generation; I'm 20 1/2 just for the record). I myself don't like them as I find them needlessly and overly complicated to the extent I can't really admire anything about them beyond just the pure skill, time and effort required to design them and put them to screen; even though the biggest thing I should be deriving from a character design would be in how it evokes the character and sets them apart from the others (admittedly, the Autobots have had a decent run of the latter with colour-coding and both factions have highly differing body-types). Also on a less professional level, it just looks plain ugly and unappealing to me.
Though, yes, I would think a lot of the 'criticism' aimed at the Bayformers designs from older Transformers fans would be the whole nostalgia-to-absurd-extents thing this fandom is unfortunately quite renowned for. Of course not a hard-and-fast rule and I expect many of these older fans would dislike them for other reasons - perhaps similar to mine - but I would simply be wearing glasses as rose-tinted as theirs if I didn't count this factor. I'd also be wearing those glasses if I didn't also factor in that there are a lot of people who hate the movies for other reasons and then leap to criticising the designs whether they would like them or not just based on the fact they hate the movies anyway. Talking of other reasons, you've also got to consider how the designs are used and shot beyond just the designs themselves and... and I'm getting off track.
Beyond said nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses though I'm not sure one can generalise like this when I've seen significant like and dislike from any generation. Just depends on your aesthetic tastes and if you can put aside Sideswipe not looking like Sideswipe.

I have to wait on a few things, but I will either see the movie Wednesday or Thursday night, hopefully wednesday. Really looking forward to it!

I mean it's not like Sideswipe was a "character" or had personality in G1 at least that's something the movie version had alike eh?
No but seriously I think the first Sideswipe with personality I can remember was either the WFC guy or the Animated one.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was just picking a random character who was in the Bay movies and didn't resemble in any way the character they were supposedly based on. Admittedly, that means I could have picked anyone who isn't Optimus or Jazz. Whether or not they had a character in G1 is debatable and I will also enjoy seeing it pointed out that of the G1 cartoon's rather large cast, only a handful had notable character traits. A bit like these movies.

About TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

You are then prompted to answer five multiple choice questions, with musical cutscenes between loading screens, leading to the final result.
Depending on the character, you'll be given a Spotify link with a playlist tailored to Bumblebee, Izabella, Cade, Viviane, Megatron, and Optimus Prime.
While the playlist tracks obviously differ, the one constant appears to be “Torches” by X Ambassadors. Though we know Celldweller i taking part in the movie soundtrack too, we have yet to have confirmation on any new track for the movie other than the snippets heard in trailers! So, is this one it? Take a listen, and let us know in the Energon Pub!

What age range are we talking about when saying 'older generations'? I'm 38 in August and the movie stuff is my fave and as I've said before, provides the complexity and general real-world approach to the design and transformations I have always wanted since I was happily buying the Marvel UK comics as a kid and getting Transformers toys as presents.

It shows the "Wreck-Gar" character in hd and I can't unsee his torso being a topless fat guy with the "belly button?" and other "things'.
What kind of "hat" is he wearing?

He's not but until his official name is confirmed I'm just referring to him as "Wreck-Gar" hence the " " just like how the old tank at Hopkin's castle is being referred to as "Bulldog" because that's the word on the side of the tank.Stuartmaximus wrote:So is this Wreck-Gar or not? coz Sabr kept saying that it's not confirmed! mind you....his head looks the same as Hound's(Wreck-Gar not Sabr! lol)

Besides having "Beards" that don't even look the same he looks nothing like Hound in fact in the Ellen clip which seems to take place before this scene Hound is shown in his TLK body.
This guy has a completely different voice, different hands, a different "hat" and is quite a bit shorter too plus the guy was complaining about them always fighting and Hound is the opposite of that.
Also some dude I've been talking to told me the guy is a different character from Hound among other more "spoilery" things.

Well he had a repaint back in 2004 as an E-Hobby exclusive named Detritus http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Detritus_(G1)
Detritus is a Junkion much like Wreck-Gar and is a mercenary who would work with both Autobots and Decepticons making him some what of a neutral and although this guy seems to be a pacifist unlike Detritus it still might make him a neutral.

While their not much like their G1 counterparts we got obscure names with The Fallen, Crosshairs, Barricade, Blackout and Grindor and that's just remembering from the top of my head.
I can totally see these films using even more obscure names since this film is seemingly trying to be all lore heavy with Transformers.

With the exception of The Fallen - which admittedly was pretty surprising - I'm pretty sure those names were just chosen because they figured they fit the characters rather than them knowing those names had previously just been supplied. More than likely they were just on a list of names Hasbro still had copyrighted and said could be used.
Still, never know - if this was intentional and there's some huge TF nerd working on this movie, that'd be pretty awesome

For those that want to know the movie is better then the sequels although one of them thinks the first one is better, the Transformers get a lot of screen time and interactions including the Decepticons.
Edit: the big twist of the movie is mentioned in big detail and I suffered the consequences and have read it but whatever I'll enjoy seeing it on screen so yeah...giant mega spoilers.
Edit 2: and so were deaths... screw me that's the thing I wanted to avoid man I really should of waited because just reading it is jaw dropping so I'm saying this now as a warning.
Whatever you do don't read any major spoilers before watching the movie at all seriously it's a colossal mistake and you will regret doing so a lot only do so if you really want to like seriously this is the first time I regret doing this like there should be a news post telling people not to.
If I'm not allowed to say anything I won't and this will be all besides maybe standard voice cast for characters we know are in the film.
Posted by Kurona on June 14th, 2017 @ 4:42am CDT
What I will ask though - and there might be something official about this later, I'm just saying it unofficially now - please do not post ANY spoilers for the movie in this thread whatsoever before it is publicly released. Even minor vague things like 'a character dies' - admittedly, not exactly unexpected in a Michael Bay Transformers movie - are something that would be best saved for PMs. I realise leaks and early viewings are becoming a thing, but let's not ruin things for everyone else.

I shall not nor never post what I've read in this public forum heck I only wanted to know a few minor details which I got the answers for in fact one of them which is non spoilery is above which is the name of the Junk Truck guy.
Any questions will be answered in private pm's and I shall not share the major plot twist although people are going to spread it anyways since a lot of people saw this post as well I'll only share the big deal with people I know who won't spread the news.
I'm not a jerk who's going to ruin the movie for other people I'm just a guy who constantly hunts for news and I just so happened to bite off more then I could chew this time actually I just went and tweeted to Bay about the leak.
