I thought we all agreed transformers has a pass because we know it's the movie that's allowed to have retarded action everywhere to the max.

The issue is when all other movies do it, especially in movies that are supposed to have a plot.

With Jurassic World they had a robot dinosaur, now it is time of game of thrones.

These movies are "Scary movie" with robots and without intentional bad jokes

I know people talk up Marvel for starting the whole CINEMATIC UNIVERSE thing, and they obviously actually did. But I'll never understand why Hasbro didn't do this first. They sell their shit to Dreamworks or whoever it was, then those people go off and make Transofrmers and GI Joe and then, shockingly Battleship.

There was obviously a link between all of them. They literally could've done it first. Not that it would have been better, but there is clearly something there. The Transformers obviously changed the game on warfare, wholesale. Even have the white and black army guys from the first Transformers carry over into the build-up of GI Joe, and then have the aliens in Battleship be some enemy of the Transformers or even just more Decepticons. It's not like those aliens were from the board game, anyway.

No offense but why the fuck do they keep making these?

Because Chinks eat this shit up. Simplistic plot and CGI porn so it's easy to follow for the uneducated masses.

They made optimus a bad ass motherfucker in TF3 and had him do a double murder with a double tap on sentinel prime all with one arm. Then they have him be a pussy in the 4th one and beg for dino help and get fucked up during the final battle and have to get his ass saved again. Fuck this writing.

With the second one, you could argue they were quick and high on their own ego, but with the third and fourth one, there is no excuse of ignorance. They know what they're doing, and it's ont good at all.

Maybe this board should do something.

If it can cause hundreds of innocent people to be killed, I'm sure bankrupting a billion-dollor company (or simply having this film series canned to take baby steps) wouldn't be too hard.
>>
>>69825233
I remember how excited I was in 2007 to see the first film, I grew up with the 80s cartoons and since I had no father Optimus was the only paternal figure in my life. I actively avoided everything about it until it came out so I could be completely blown away by what I saw. When I actually saw it I was shocked by how bad and wrong it was, nothing felt right about it. Being a man child is suffering.

Oooooohh

>>69824052

These movies are surreal because of how evil Optimus is, yet he's played like a wise hero. He's basically Megatron in different colors by this point.

>>69822884
Why do they suddenly HAVE to use swords and handguns? Why couldn't they stick to those internal blasters from the first one? Also, why do they insist on having every climax include the US military ravaging the robots with guns? These are hyper advanced alien machines who had the technology to travel lightyears to reach earth. No way they don't have the tech to shrug of literal caveman-tier human/flea gunz. From day one i was hopeful we would get a Jurassic Park-like scenario where the huge robots stomp everyone, and we actually did in the first scene of T1, but now they are just treating the Transfomers like slightly bigger soldiers. Especially evident during the Lockdown/military treaty bullshit

How about instead of showing us the amazing ability to render a building collapse (in order to kill a handful of humans, hardly important for the decepticons) we see that capture? it'd be one of the few times we see the decepticons be competent. Optimus getting tangled up was a excuse to remove him from the film, rather than have him do anything meaningful.

I watched a little of G1 transformers but never really got into it. Was Soundwave that much of a threat in a fight? I always thought he was incredibly dangerous strategically because he and his minions were ridiculously good intelligence agents, but I don't remember him being a heavy hitter.

>If they toned down the immature humor and made the human characters more likeable, the could be genuinely good
They'd also need to make the humanoid robots look less like walking piles of parts and give them clearer, more distinct features, especially on their faces.

Writers don't really mean shit for movies. Especially bigger budget ones. Besides having their work tampered with, they also just might not give a shit for movies like Transformers.

My friend is some patsy assistant director for those Bible thumper movies Pure Flix makes, but before that he actually met people in the industry. One of the Transformers writers had some kind of pedigree but was very open about his distaste for writing whatever Transformers movie he did.

>The Fallen

So much wasted potential.

On of the original 13 Primes, Megatronus was created by Primus. The God/Machine of the Autobots. He then betrayed the other Primes and became an agent for Unicron under the name The Fallen.

The Fallen should have been the final antagonist in the series along with Unicron.
>>
>>69830183
I thought the point of Starscream was that he was both of those things. He was extremely dangerous personally, but was an idiot and cruel and nobody really liked him. He was an effective battle commander (he WAS kept second-in-command, after all), but a terrible strategist.
>>
>>69830633
I watch transformers since I was a kid and I have no idea who the fuck the fallen is
>>
>>69830183
Starscream was Megatron's rival for leader of the Decepticons. He was underhanded and clever, but had no hope of winning an equal fight against Megatron, so he'd back down pretty quickly and wait for his chance to betray him. Otherwise, he was pretty strong, and his ability to fly was pretty useful. He often ended up carrying Megatron around and even fired him sometimes in gun form. He generally had the support of the other flying Decepticons.

Soundwave was more of a faithful lackey, but really, he was one of the most machine-like of them all. He didn't have much personality, and just did his job. Megatron trusted him and kept him close. He wasn't stronger than average on his own, but his little guys were useful, and he had other special technical abilities.

Shockwave was similar in some ways to all of Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave. He was largely emotionless, something of a rival to Megatron (unlike Starscream, he may have been able to take him in a fight), and turned into a gun.

There are some differences between the original cartoon and comic representations of these characters.

Transformers has surprisingly an absolute shit ton of lore.
>>
>>69830477
No, i'd actually be okay if Sam or any of the human MC's died, like one of the numbered female gf's. Instead he mindlessly kills all of the original cast that didn't have plot armor, without even giving them proper development or nice moments first. Because of this, it doesn't even seem like he does it for emotional impact, instead it comes off as pointless

>>Fourth kills Ratchet immediately, he was in 4 movies and they didn't even give him one moment

Aside from Lockdown's Gun Face and Bumblebee's 67' Camaro, Optimus going ham after finding Ratchet's corpse was really the only good thing about that movie.
>>
>>69830791
Yea, but only one lore at a time. There are like 50 franchises/generations that each completely rewrites everyrhing. Impossible to keep up
>>
>>69829870
See, that's why it's a shame. The Fallen is probably the best Transformers villain, and it was used in such a confusing way that no-one is really sure what it is.

I imagine its how Batfags felt about the needed Ra's, or Marvelcucks with pretty much every villain (mandarin, whiplash and the extremis virus, especially)

Patrician here.

Transformers is an okay schlock franchise to watch when literally nothing else is on. It's shallow of course, but entertaining enough. Essentially, it's no better or worse than capeshit. And this is coming from someone who saw Civil War twice.

This. Bay's Prime is what Cullen's brother told him NOT to do.

Also Prime being a murderous hardass makes Grimlock irrelevant as the "hard-liner Autobot" role has always been Grimlock, fueling his rivaly with Optimus.

Bay missed the point entirely. Also, Shockwave should have teamed with Sentinel Prime, not Megatron.

>>69830748
Yep. Grimlock and Shockwave are direct rivals to Optimus and Megatron in the comics.

Optimus and Grimlock have an awesome relationship in the comics where they clashed yet respected each other.

Megatron and Shockwave is fascinating because of their disdain for each other and contrasting approaches to being evil bastards.

The Fallen was one of the first TF's, and is called The Fallen because he heel turned and sided with Unicron. He was not a Decepticon.

Bay ditched all that and made him a generic Palpatine baddy.

The internal blade weapons were a much better choice as they both highlighted the shape-shifting capabilities of the robots as well as providing them with a weapon that couldn't be lost or stolen without dismembering the guy using it.

But I guess he has to fight with a giant sword because that's the sort of shit that geeks wet themselves over, regardless of how fucking stupid it is.

Am I the only one who thinks Mark Wahlberg is actually way way worse in these movies that Shia Leboufe?

Not only is his acting,dialogue and entire movie even more terrible but his character doesn't actually do anything or have and real reason to hang out with the Transformers.
