Amph The Transformers. More than meets the eye!

Most OG 2 or so minutes of cinematic Transformer action ever put on screen. Which only serves to show how poorly crafted and handled all previous films were. Bumblebee should've been a flat out reboot.

 

Yeah, but the way Bumblebee ended, it was a kind of soft reboot like Days of Future Past was with the X-Men film franchise, and so the sequel or any spin off films have a freedom to go in their own directions and not tie themselves down with the Bayformers continuity.

I think this was done intentionally by Hasbro/Paramount to cash on the folks that like Bayformers and the people that didn't.

 

I think the general movie going audience probably doesn't care. I didn't. I was just glad to get a Transformers movie that looked and felt like my childhood memories. I could care less if it fit in with continuity, rebooted it, or existed on its own.

 

Yes, This.

 

That Cybertron battle is one of the best things I've ever seen on film.
Soundwave and Shockwave.

 

I would have paid full admission just for that sequence

 

I want a hard reboot and go back to the animation verse I grew up. The first Bay film was fun. Second sucked. And Megatron shouldn’t have been the #2 villain. They lost me with that film.

 

"War For Cybertron: Siege" first looks.

Leader class Jetfire.



Deluxe class Mirage.



Deluxe class Impactor.



Commander class Omega Supreme, with Countdown.

Which universe was that? There's quite a few of them. I would assume G1, but a lot of people had different ones that they grew up with.

 

Omega will cost as much as the other Titan figures. So, yeah, expensive.

 

Well, I happened upon the premiere with Galvatron having survived what I would later see was his apparent demise in the movie. I thought he was cool and became a casual watcher. Didn’t watch for a while and returned to find some dude named Megatron. Found him more interesting. Did some research and then watched the animated film. Became a fan.

So, for me Transformers is the original series with Optimus Prime and Megatron; the animated film; the post-film series with Rodimus Prime and Galvatron, concluding with maybe a redeemed/cured Galvatron. But the original series is best for me.

The first live action film was surprisingly good despite Frank Welker not being Megatron. Second movie had problems with the writers’ strike and I’m sorry, Megatron serves no one—except for Unicron and that’s only to live to fight another day. Quit after the second movie.

Ah, G1 then. You should give some of the others a shot. You'll like them.

 

Yeah. I hope they’re better than the movies. Well, again I loved the first one. But that was a Spielberg movie with Bay as a hired gun and he didn’t screw it up. The script was reminiscent of Jaws and C3EK, slowly leading to the shark/aliens, with conspiratorial interference. Gareth Edwards followed in similar vain with Godzilla.

Ah, now. The first live action movie at best gets to "It's OK but has MAJOR MAJOR flaws"


The rest are just an incoherent, plot hole laden morass of ****.


Bumblebee was very good and the Cybertron elements were excellent and if they want live action Transformers to continue they need to power on down that route and ignore everything done by Bay which includes the first kinda OK film but totally ruins Megatron both visually and as a character

 

Megatron was basically thrown away as a character in the Bay films

 

He was barely a character in the Bay films.

 

Oh, yeah. That’s how I understood Darth Sinister. Thanks for the info to both of you.

 

Yeah, the other animated series are much better than the films. Plus, with "Prime" you get Peter Cullen and Frank Welker.

Coming to WFC:S, Star Convoy and "Armada" Optimus.



Masterpiece Bumblebee v.2.
