Despite Kingdom's failure, I thought WFC was pretty good, definitely superior to both Cyberverse and Earthspark. Those are shows for pre-teens/early teens. Definitely not for anyone older than 14.
As for this new animated feature, I'll wait for official reveals. I thought the Exodus novel was average, but a skilled scriptwriter could take it and expand it into a decent movie story. We'll see.
Even using Kingdom, the best of the 3 WFC series, the only things I'd call it superior to were the Prime Wars trilogy and Energon. There is a reason Netflix passed on a Legacy series. And there is a reason F.J. DeSanto should not be allowed anywhere near Transformers again.
I feel like the main reason Kingdom was more watchable than the ungodly miserable Siege and ungodly boring Earthrise was because of Mae Catt being brought on as a writer.ZeroWolf wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Which continuity/series is the better quality is subjective.

Mostly agreed, though honestly, I'd watch Energon again before Kingdom.

o.supreme wrote:I have no grievances against any of the actors in this film. They are all talented to various degrees, but a Hollywood actor sounding like themselves is pretty par for the course. I mean its much more palatable when you have original creations. Like Woody & Buzz from Toy Story. Nobody can imagine them being voiced by anyone else besides Tom Hanks or Tim Allen, but to be honest, they sound just like Tom Hanks & Tim Allen.
Classically trained VA's on the other have have a wide range, which is why I prefer them in animation, especially with legacy characters that have been represented in animation for decades. I blame whoever made the casting decisions. I mean its far too early to judge this film, as we haven't seen a frame of it yet. But much like other films. Instead of "hearing" BB, Ill just be hearing KMK's voice coming out of BB like a ventriloquist. Same with Mario. It was a fun film, but Chris Pratt is still Chris Pratt...

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!
Considering all the attention he has gotten in the last 15 years and being a young bot, I was hoping we wouldn't see him at all, or just in passing. This story should have focused on the older bots such as Prowl and Ironhide who have been around a long time. On the 'Con side I hope Shockwave gets a lot of attention besides Megatron. I'm still looking forward to this much more than I was RoTB.TulioDude wrote:He sounds like a good voice actor for Bumblebee.
While I'm happy to see more Bumblebee, if this movie is about the origins of Megatron and Optimus, it's going be harder to see him as the young one if he was there all along. The best use of him for me, would be Bumblebee being a civilian, that only later comes in contact with Optimus.
Keep in mind that that the last time we got a celebrity voice cast like this was Machinima's Prime Wars Trilogy. Judd Nelson, Wil Wheaton, Michael Dorn, Jason David Frank, Mark Hamill, Ron Perlman, Samoa Joe, Jamie King, all very expensive people cast simply because of their fame. The story, writing, and animation were all still pretty terrible.#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:On the other hand, the voice cast does make it clear that this is a high-budget movie and a high priority for Hasbro, so it likely won't be a low-effort cash grab.

Word is that Paramount’s upcoming summer animated tentpole Transformers One is the best tested feature toon movie in the studio’s history and will surprise many.
I have a feeling that this movie might take some inspiration from the Aligned backstory that depicted the Quintessons not as the true creators of the Transformers, but as merely invaders from space who came to Cybertron in its early years and tricked the populace into welcoming them, by pretending that they, the Quints, were benevolent innovators who only wanted to progress and prosper the Cybertronians' way of life, when they actually wanted to take over Cybertron and enslave its people for their own greedy benefit.Rodimus Prime wrote:Well I'm not shocked but still a bit bummed. I never cared for the Quintessons or that version of the Transformers origin story. I'm still gonna see the movie, and to hasbro that's all that matters.

As for some people not liking Hemsworth being Pax, it's easy to get past it. It's Pax, not Prime. He doesn't have to sound like Cullen. I'm more worried about the guy voicing Megatron. I hope he does better than Marnocha. He wasn't very good.
Yes, I should have specified, I didn't like Marnocha's performance in WFC. I don't remember much of Prime Wars, but I don't remember Megatron being bad. Redneck Overlord is the standout there...D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Well I'm not shocked but still a bit bummed.

Marnocha did a fantastic job as megatron in the Prime wars.
However, his WFC trilogy voice did need improvements.
But as we saw with Perlman and Primal, it depends on the show really
