I haven't seen a Transformers movie all the way through and I'd like to keep it that way. So what's the explanation for Shia's absence in these newer movies anyway?

Too bad House of the Long Shadows didn't really work out. It was a Peter Walker film and had John Carradine, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

None really needed. There was no reason for him to be in any of the sequels really, it's a big planet with lots of humans for homicidal maniac robots to befriend.

Transformers 1 had a nice simple story to it. And then all hell broke loose.

The most important thing I need to know about the Universal Monster-verse: Will we be getting a reboot of Abbott and Costello? And will we be able to shake another Hemsworth out of Australia to play one?

There's definitely a binder on a desk with Simon Pegg & Nick Frost's names written below 'Abbot / Costello'

Femur posted:I never thought about it, but did Optimus doom his entire planet by chucking the cube into space? Pretty much. Without it the planet couldn't do [magical bullshit] to make more transformers. The implications I've always read into it was that the Autobots were losing so Optimus chucked it as a 'gently caress You' to Megatron

And this new movie is apparently about an artifact that can save their planet and it was on Earth all along. Said artifact might even be Excalibur.

wouldn't it make more sense to be the Holy Grail, what with it's legendary restorative power?

The sword as a phallic symbol as opposed to the grail as a yonic symbol, sells more toys

In Transformers mythology, their most powerful artifact is actually a hammer. I don't know where that sits on the phallic/yonic scale. It did belong to a female robot, though.

Iron Crowned posted:yeah, Kup rules. Hot Rod's saving grace was becoming Roddimus Prime, otherwise he sucked. Hot Rod was fun, he's an rear end in a top hat teenager. I do find the Gen 1 Roddimus to be a more compelling figure than Optimus. He's sarcastic and filled with a lot of doubt, but does the job anyway. I think he was unpopular because he's closer to reality than the idealized authority figure that Optimus Prime presented.

TOO MANY GOBLINS posted:Tawny loving rules, he's my favourite. He's in part of Kingdom Come (or one of the tie-ins iirc) just drinking martinis in a metahuman bar, seeming sort of gruff and hard boiled. The original comics had him dealing with housing discrimination and job problems. A putupon Frasier predator. He has alot to complaing about it. Chairman Capone posted:Well, of the those three, Man from UNCLE had a strong comedic/parody element to it also. Even Spectre was pretty much the Daniel Craig Bond era's version of Austin Powers in how it's pretty much a stereotypical 60s Sean Connery Bond film plopped down into the super-serious 2010s. Get Smart is an underrated movie. Saw that on a plane once, was surprised at how not terrible it was. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 15:26 on May 23, 2017 |

Rodimus was sort of a jerk, in one episode they go to a lost pacifist Autobot colony that needs help from Decepticon invasion and basically caused the entire planet to be destroyed thanks to escalating violence, then he tells the survivors that Cybertron is better anyway.
