The best part of 4 was Optimus declaring freedom to the Dinobots, then immediately threatening to kill them if they didn't do his will.

General Battuta posted:In 5 he finds God and tries to kill her. She mind controls him and he doesn't break free until one of his soldiers volunteers to die on his sword. Etc, etc. They read like they were written to give Terry material. Also Optimus' Mother/God lives in what seems to be the only part of his planet that grows organic plant life, and she's wants to destroy Earth because it's literally Satan.

Cybertron in some offshoot canon of Transformers is supposed to be the planet form of Primus himself. Their God is their home world.

If by "offshoot canon" you mean the original one then yes.

You can't read a Marvel comic made with a weapons manufacturer but at least you can still buy a toy officially licensed by one.

Right, it's in one or both* of the G1 comic books. *They made a US version and a UK version of the comic with different story lines, the UK one often lifting from the US one. Kid me didn't figure that out before years after having collected from both continuities.

The UK one put out so much more material that the US one ended up using it for filler, which threw the UK comic off because their homegrown stuff was just filler for their weekly issues between printing the US monthly issues in chunks.

This is really hosed up, and I know that it's hosed up, but the fact that it has the Lockheed Martin logo on the box, and that I feel this is somehow hosed up, makes me want it more.

Is the Bumblebee movie still supposedly gonna be R-rated? That sounded like bullshit but it would be hilarious.

Bumblebee got itself the composer from Travis Knight's previous movie Kubo and sound editors from Michael Bay's recent production A Quiet Place.

By the way, the new Revenge of The Fallen Megatron toy reminded me of this thread since it has a pair of cylindrical balls.

Watching the trailer again, the transformations feel more in line with the first film than the later films, so that's pretty cool. I wonder how much of that came from the director's past as an animator?

Unfortunately they need to make a prequel set in the 2000s for Bumblebee to gently caress, because then they can use this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z4nVYt3yjs

Teaser trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAIX12F6958 I like it! Going back to the OG Transformers look. Starscream looks awesome. Also in one of the last shots it looks like Bumblebee might change into a Jeep or something similar. The grill on his chest looks like an early Jeep grill.

Holy gently caress! They finally did right by Starscream! The Screamer is the best character in the setting by huge margin, largely thanks to the original voice actor with his hilariously weird voice. It makes me so happy to see him done properly! Milky Moor posted:Watching the trailer again, the transformations feel more in line with the first film than the later films, so that's pretty cool. I wonder how much of that came from the director's past as an animator? That's a good change for sure. The most impressive part of the first Bay movie was the helicopter transformation at the very start. I'd like to see more of that.

I wonder if the prequel will acknowledge Bumblebee’s (totally awesome) Nazi-killing past, or if it’ll ignore it completely. “Beep boop I’m frightened of meaningful human contact, my only exposure to human culture has been curb-stomping fascists without remorse  “

Now I'm sad because when I heard there was a Bumblebee prequel, I thought it was going to be about his Nazi killing days in WWII.

There's probably going to be some sort of handwave "Bumblebee was rebooted" thing to explain why he doesn't remember killing Nazis and is afraid of teenage girls.

Starscream looks great and they got classic Bee going so I’m cool with a PTSD robot hiding away from the horrors of WW2.
