It depends on designs and aesthetics. A friend sent me Bruce Timm (Batman TAS) fanart of Evangelion and I was absolutely horrified by that mess.
I mean.
We're the toku fandom, we should be somewhat used to this, right?

For those wanting to learn more about Transformers, Youtuber Chris McFeely has started a new series known as "The Basics" detailing various bits about this franchise' history.

i can also recommend "The Whole Plate," an extensive (still in progress)essay on film theory using the live-action Transformers films as a case study

I think Prime is not a bad choice to get into the series. I like it had a darker tone to it while still be okay for kids. Steve Blum does a great job as Starscream in my opinion.

Just gonna leave this here

I'm not shocked that this happened. What shocks me is the fact that it took like FIVE movies before the franchise started to tank.

Not that it'd stop them from doing another five Transformers movies of course

It has the essence of G1 while modernizing things. Seconded.

I blame the critics. Clearly they don't know what's good.

Could you cut the troll act? At this point it's gotten old

Maybe contribute after you've seen the film? You don't know what's "good" either at this point.

Trust me, it's not an act...

I liked The Last Knight for the most part. More than Age of Extinction at any rate, which is still I think my least favorite of the series. I definitely still had a lot of problems with it and it's by no means a great film. But had fun watching it.

I highly doubt that. Nobody can be that foolish unless there's no age restriction on the site

Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone likes something that you seem to find utter garbage?

Because of the user posting it.
Also, there's a difference between liking or disliking something, and saying something is objectively good and calling those who disagree with you wrong.

That was never the problem. The problem is that this guy thinks everybody is wrong because they don't like what he likes and goes to laughable lengths in order to justify it.

Saying "I like the Transformers movies" is one thing. Calling it the "Second Coming of Citizen Kane" or "Cinematic Masterpieces" is another.

Both of you are wrong. It's not necessarily an opinion, hell, the 2 people I get along with the most at work love Bayformers, but it's multiple factors. Though that's kinda off-topic so I'll refrain from doing this, it's a bit of a witch hunt tbh

I mean I haven't seen the movies since Dark of The Moon. Just haven't had the chance to watch them. I like what I see in the previews and trailers. And we all know how I refuse to read/watch critic reviews. And, for once, I haven't saught out spoilers. Which, as we all know, is very odd for me.

Yeah, it was definitely better than Age of Extinction. Helped that they gave Prime a reason to be a cold murderbot for most of this one :lol

That said, the first thing he said to Quintessa was still "I'll kill you." Sigh.

My only question. Hot Rod. Why.

LOL critics have hated Bay's films since ROTF, didn't stop TF and TMNT from being franchise summer blockbusters.

Critics aren't why this movie is failing.

I saw some of AOE when my parents were watching it as soon as I saw soldiers gunning down autobots and OP going on a humans suck spiel I went "Fuck this shit I'm out" *seriously fuck that piece of nihilistic garbage that Bay shoveled out* and that was after sitting through the dumpster fire that was DOTM.

I didn't even bother with his TMNT movies, as soon as Megan Fox was cast as April I knew exactly what to expect.

The new live action movie probably didn't so well because people have gotten bored of the same old thing for the last 10 years. Even the 4th movie still made less than the other three movies did in the US box office.

Toy sales and the Asian market will help these movies get made.

I have not seen the movie but I can probably guess the only person I might like in it will be Anthony Hopkins character. But if I had to give one good point for The Last Knight is that it's toyline is so much better than Age of Extinction for the mere fact that it has fucking decepticons! As I'm going with Hasbro releases they only had fucking Galvatron who was so plain looking. And just in case someone says it, no Lockdown is not a decepticon in the movie. I mean come on there was so many things in the movie that were mindless robots they could of made toys of. There was even one that looked like a two headed Skockwave. Why was there not a toy of that?

I do however like Barricade's new look. He does not look like his head is made up of trillions of metal toothpicks and swords.

Has anyone here managed to find a fucking Kickback toy at their local stores?! I can't seem to find him! I know he's out there, I saw a little brat with one a couple weeks ago. *is seriously getting miffed about this*

No but I know how you feel I have been searching for a Twinferno or Weird Wolf for so long.

If anyone needs a Masterpiece Nemesis Prime, MP-10B will get a reissue this December, pre-orders are already up at AmiAmi and HLJ :)

Since Transformers originated from Diaclone, or so I've been told, I figured the only place to post this was here.

Sorry for the double post. Saw The Last Knight last night. I enjpyed it quite a bit. I guess not see the other two movies after Dark of The Moon made it less of a mess for me. *shrugs* Oh well. I enjoyed it. Let the criticisms and insults begin. :lol

It originated from several lines. Diaclone and Micro Change for the most part though.

There was only one movie after Dark of the Moon and before this XP

I thought there was something between Age of Extinction and this one. Oh well. XD

I want to watch it now .

Transformers Prime I feel was the perfect reboot so far. Second place goes to Animated.

Prime is definitely a good one.

Just be weary of the fact that a fourth of the show's plots involve McGuffin hunts.

It was a good cluster of G1 Nostalgia and what the norm know of Transformers from the live action films. The updated looks were nice and voice casting was superb. Smokescreen was the perfect Hot Rod placebo. And a part of me wishes this was the Live Action film series instead. At least their faces do not look like they got ripped off by mechanical zombie honey badgers.

Jason David Frank is a VA for Machinima's "Titans Return" animated series.


alongside Peter Cullen, Judd Nelson and WILL WHEATON.

Huh, what a weird choice for him to play. I might actually have to check this out, assuming it turns out better than Combinder Wars.

Well if nothing else, it's nice to see JDF doing something that's not milking Power Rangers for all it's worth.

I only tolerate the live action movies when the profits get used for making toys I actually want.

Which hasn't been the case since at least Dark of the Moon. Gimme some G1 reissues again damnit!

Judd back as Hot Rod? Nice.
