Transformers One now on Paramount +

It's a Paramount movie, so why wouldn't it go to Paramount's streaming service?

Probably in a few months. That's what happened with RoTB.

I understand the urge for the snarky comment. I'd do the same if I'm the "first!" type of commenter. But what do you expect? At least initially.

But you'll probably be able to buy or rent digitally sometime down the line on Google Play (or Apple Store? I don't care for it so I just assume Apple will too) sometime down the line. I got all my digital media there including the Bayverse movies, so at least Paramount doesn't lock all their films on their own "nobody subscribe to Paramount+" streaming platform only.

Its been available to rent or buy digitally for weeks now.

I understand the film has been available to purchase on streaming services for a while now, but looking ahead to the physical media release on December 17th...

It is odd...(at least on Amazon), there appears the be only 2 offerings:

1. 4k/BRD/ Digital Bundle and
2. standard DVD

I have been collecting Blu Rays when I can, but Ill still purchase a DVD if that is the only option. But I haven't purchased any 4K yet simply because I don't have a device that plays them, nor a UHD TV, so there's no need.

Seems odd there's no stand alone Blu Ray release.

If #1 is my only option, I guess Ill wait until it goes on sale. I do plan on upgrading my media, but If you've noticed, 4k players are all but absent from B&M stores like Target & Walmart. Probably only Best Buy has them, or you have to get them online.

Kind of reminds me, about a decade ago, I had to purchase a few BRD bundles that came with 3D BRD's as well. What a waste those were...glad I got them cheap. Also glad I never invested in an HDTV that had 3D.

If Megatron wanted absolutely to kill Sentinel for treachery:they cannot justify how he could spare Starscream for it,exile after desertion at best.That's irreconcilable with all the other continuities for a change.The unforgivable killing is from Sentinel and cie,not the killed drones.

"could" as conditional,in the future,"the other continuities" that are irreconcilable.A contradiction would have been told in the "SPOILER" topic.

Just to do more than a correction:Star-Shock-Sound are neglected a lot,i don't see how Star can be a renegade without becoming a loner,a or creating the who aren't really related to him,just a different faction,a second Sentinel pro quintessons maybe.

I feel like Shock-Sound could be the more reasonable persons,Megatron may end mistreating them the most and rejected by his own faction,Star would be more enthusiast than rebellious.

There's kind of a darker tragic side to the way B-127 was portrayed. If you'll notice, B-127 and D-16 are the only two characters in the whole movie who don't have actual names, but instead just have numerical designations. It has been theorized that in this universe all Cybertronians are born with designations instead of names, and later acquire names of their own later in life when they decide to choose one for themselves and are able to convince all of their peers and the larger society as a whole to call them by their new name.

In that regard, B-127 trying over and over to get everyone to call him "Badassatron" feels like he's trying so desperately hard to give himself an actual name instead of just a designation, but it's such a silly, try-hard, edgelord sounding name that, combined with his overly-enthusiastic personality and short cutesy-looking stature, nobody is willing to take him seriously enough to call him that. He wants so badly to have not just an actual name but one that sounds cool, that he's completely oblivious to how annoying he is to everyone he tries his name out on. With that in mind, his repeated gag becomes less obnoxious (granted it still is) and more sad and pitiable to the point that you just can't help but feel sorry for him.

As for why D-16 still had his designation before renaming himself "Megatron", well, he's a stickler for protocol and tradition. He doesn't like change to routine normalcy, and seems to have embraced his "D-16" designation as his defining identity. It's the identifier he was given when he first came online, and he's perfectly content with being "D-16". It's only after he finds out that his whole life and way of living was a lie manipulated by the guy in charge whom he looked up to and was spurred to incite a world-shattering revolution that he finally cast off his "D-16" designation (which now represented his old life that he hated) and gave himself a real name, one which everyone around him was willing to accept as his new name (which also kinda adds to the tragedy of B-127's many failed attempts to give himself a new name, as D-16 renames himself once and everyone's just instantly ready to accept it, while B just can't catch a break from anyone).

They do in a real world sense (B comes from Bumblebee, D comes from Decepticon), but nothing's been given about any in-fiction meaning.

On the one hand, I can see the argument that there just wasn't time to dig into everything. On the other, this seems like one of those that could be implied in a line or two of dialogue and doesn't need to be explained further:

Hypothetical script wrote:Darkwing: "Told you not to come back here, C-01!"
Orion: "My name is Orion Pax."
Darkwing: "Sez you!" #punch#

Show, not tell. Anyone who's seen The Matrix would instantly get it, and anyone else would at least get the power dynamic.
