The landing module was well inside, protected, for the launch. And don't get me started on the VLA. Small Strange Bird fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Dec 10, 2016 |

I'm really wondering if Cybertron and Unicron are one and the same in this movie. Because that's kind of interesting if true.

I am excited. I wonder then if they will make Megatron the 'reformed' hero after the infection from the Fallen has been purged. Curious too if they are just going to murder Hot Rod. Edit: I will laugh so hard if Hot Rod is built up only for Prime to eviscerate him one blow and the final show down is Megatron and Prime, but Megatron wants to defend Earth for some reason. Bay making us root for the vagina faced villain while the hero with the giant magical penis is the true enemy. Please let this happen.

Can I get a summary on the Optimus as monster thing? I've read the 100 page pdf but it's been a while. I also haven't seen the movies in a long time. Like, I know he rips faces and executes people but I'm pretty sure it's deeper than that.

Optimus is repeatedly revealed to be lying to the humans about why the Autobots are on earth, and it's eventually revealed that the Autobots were allied with tyrannical Prime leaders whom the Decepticons were rebelling against.

UmOk posted:Two more questions. Why were the Autobots on earth? And who are the prime leaders? In TF1, the Autobots were there to stop Megatron from getting the Allspark because Optimus claims that Megatron would use it to kill everyone on Earth. It is important to note that Prime also lies about the capabilities of the Allspark and his gambit to shoot it into his chest. Anyway, TF2 indicates that Megatron wanted it to restore power to Cybertron and to save the lives of the robot babies. However, almost every film gives a different reason for the Autobots being on Earth and Optimus often changes the story for what had happened on Cybertron. The Primes were incredibly powerful robots who were the leaders and deities of the Transformer race. They killed themselves trying to stop The Fallen (basically Robo-Satan). How this meshes with the Transformers being explicitly built by another species in TF4 is unclear at this point. Optimus Prime both is and isn't one of those 'Primes'. Milkfred E.

So do we not know the actual reason for the Autobots being on Earth? Or is it just assumed they want to fight stuff? Also how were the primes tyrannical? Are they the guys that Shia met in Transformers Heaven?

Maarak posted:How is he not a Prime? He looks nothing like them, for starters. Like, there's the Primes who are Sentinel and Optimus - where it's seemingly a rank. But the Primes ala The Fallen are like a separate breed with unique powers and abilities. Optimus is not one of them, because they all died to try and stop the Fallen... except the Fallen claims he is. The big problem with ROTF is that it is a shockingly bad script, like first draft level material. It's confusing with the exact relationship between Optimus Prime and the Prime-species being very unclear. Then you have Sentinel Prime. Apparently, only a Prime can kill a Prime (ROTF) but crippled, addled Megatron basically does in Sentinel. It's also confusing because Optimus Prime is referred to as a 'Knight' of the Creator species where he was supposed to be an explorer for them. Who knows, but TF5 seems to be intent on explaining all this, so...

UmOk posted:So do we not know the actual reason for the Autobots being on Earth? Or is it just assumed they want to fight stuff? The principle Autobots arrived on Earth to chase down the Allspark and "keep it from Megatron". Optimus also tried to get Sam to plug it into his chest, claiming that would be enough, and didn't seem to like how it was shoved into Megatron's chest. With that done, they remained to 'safeguard' Earth from the Decepticons and they refuse to leave when asked, despite claiming that humanity has a right to self-determinate. Multiple human characters point out that the Decepticons are only remaining on Earth because the Autobots are there. Optimus is also big on manipulating humanity like a domestic abuser, such as his ploy with the rocket in TF3, in order to remain relevant and important. However, prior to TF1, there were Cybertronians on Earth such as Jetfire and, of course, Megatron. quote:Also how were the primes tyrannical? Are they the guys that Shia met in Transformers Heaven? Yes, but we don't really know much about them. The Fallen was seemingly basically Lucifer. It was assumed (or maybe directly stated?) that they were the progenitors of the Transformers species, but TF4 seems to indicate that it is a lie.

I'd also like to point out that all jokes aside, the reason Optimus rips off the Fallen's face is because his face was used to create the Decepticon icon according to some supplementary material. Optimus is basically going to the logical end point of pulling down statues of dictators.

No, in the movies he's just obsessed with destroying faces. It's not something he targets on the Fallen in particular. Dude is a face wrecker, he's got skulls to peel, now give me your FACE

Yeah, the first bot to take an impromptu facial reconstruction from Optimus is Bonecrusher in TF1. And both Demolishor and Grindor in TF2.

By then Bay and hasbro had added new transformers and poo poo based on where they could shoot and what cards they had available. ROTF is the hell final level for Hollywood Writer: The Game.

We are getting a Superbowl trailer. http://deadline.com/2017/01/transformers-the-last-knight-ghost-in-the-shell-super-bowl-tv-spots-1201898501/ Meanwhile, take a moment to vote for Cybertron's next Prime. This has nothing to do with the movies (as far as we know), I just love these Hasbro fan votes.
