Cinnamon Bastard posted:I kinda want the dinobots to be semi-organic. Think Terminator: robot on the inside, but coated in living tissue that gets violently shredded and rent and twisted as they transform. Make it looks really creepy, and have the clean and austere vehicle transformers be disgusted by it, like it's some long forgotten perversion. The original series dealt with something similar. The precursors to the Transformers were the Trans-Organics, cybernetic creatures using biological and mechanical components. They were seen in the episode Dweller in the Depths

The third season went to some pretty strange places. Zombie Optimus Prime, Galvatron going to a mental institution, a cameo by Cobra Commander. It really was an episodic science fiction show, rather than the Earthbound show the first two season were. And we find out this guy made Unicron:

The Dinobots have always been stupid, arrogant, immensely powerful, and loving hilarious. I hope we get something similar to this in the next movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdNz2fMOYng Also, note that Grimlock thinks of himself as the boss. This could cause conflict with Optimus Prime over who is the leader of the Autobots.

The MSJ posted:That would certainly fit the age group that would wear an "84" t-shirt. Looks like they're referencing The Steel Helmet. Nice!

Just noticed his helmet says "A-3" short for Alpha Trion, the "grandfather" of the Autobots. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Alpha_Trion_%28G1%29

Sire Oblivion posted:I don't think every beard and cigar is reference to an obscure war film. Steven Spielberg named the character of Short Round in Temple of Doom after a similar character in The Steel Helmet. Sam Fuller's films are a little obscure, but def well known in the movie industry. Seriously though, Sgt. Zack is like the Ur-hardnosed soldier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db5kkXCrWg8

Oh, I know, I've seen a bunch of his films. Gene Evans plays basically the same character in Fixed Bayonets though it's a little broader. And I was surprised to see Lee Van Cleef playing a North Vietnamese in China Gate.

Y'know, it took me a little while to get it, but Optimus kills Sentinel in the same way that Megatron kills Ironhide in the animated movie. Compare this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3_Sk0EzeC4&t=52s to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9zW9_LL5xg&t=144s I mean, they couldn't have tried harder to make Optimus the villian.
