Since the first film, the Autobots have always been really violent with the Decepticons. Optimus ripping grindor's head apart, Jetfire tearing out ravage's spine, the wreckers wrenching a soldier from his ship before drawing and quatering him, "GIVE ME YOUR FACE." Not to mention how the third movie ended with Megatron advocating a truce before Optimus performs Sub-Zero's fatality.
At the same time, at least since Revenge of the Fallen, there's been this con-current narrative where Megatron is trying to hatch and raise Decepticon children while they starve due to lack of energon. Heck, the whole plot of the 3rd film was about revitalizing cybertron.
Not saying whether this stuff is good or bad, just weird. It would actually be really interesting if the film acknowledged all the Cybertronian hatchlings that died on the Autobot's watch, instead of a couple throwaway scenes the point out their existence.

Optimus goes into space and fights the Quintessons. A gravely injured Prime floats in space near Unicron. Unicron turns Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime and sends him back to Earth to retrieve an artifact that will make Unicron more powerful. Prime defeats Bumblebee but Hot Rod "lights their darkest hour".

Second of all, the big problem with this Transformers trailer is the same problem with all of the Transformers movies. Not enough actual Transformers and way too much of humans I really don't care anything about
I haven't actually gone back to time this but I feel like the bots have been getting more screentime in each subsequent movie.

People have been saying that the movies suck due to the lack of reference to the source material, but technically the films are creating their own source material. I like the direction that they are going in And let me just say: that Megatron looks awesome! I really dig his look in this and hopefully he can have a larger and more crucial role in this. Optimus seems to have some red on his head when he's going against Bumblebee. It could be related to Prime's behaviour and the reason for his purple eyes. Can't wait until we see some more stuff!
If the G1 cartoon is the source material, A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court.
And Dark of the Moon would have been better if the Decepticons captured Optimus, attached his arm with blaster to a building, and turned the rest of his parts into an alligator.

Where would they have put Decepticons if captured? They didn't have a ship with a brig, they didn'thave a a base with holding cells or anything and in later films the autobots reveal they won't share technology only knowledge.
And it's the transformers war in the real world. A war that's spanned millions of years that's lead to their planet demolished and their race in small number. The Decepticons enacted genocide on not only autobots but other species. Even in our own history we don't clock out enemies in the back of the head during a war and drag them away.

And the bots have progressively been getting more screen time. Plus, I'm glad we're gonna have Wahlberg with Lennox and Epps. Those are 3 good humans for the films and, without Cade's daughter, will be a bit more focused then sporadic human-wise.

Yeah it will be a good trio and the young girl hopefully does a good job.
I didn't mind Cades daughter...until her boyrfriend got introduced and it got all "here's a Texas law that says I can bang her because she under age"...yikes...

I have faith that Isabella's character will be a good one. And that is a great trio, and I didn't like the boyfriend that much (reminded me a bit of a couple of my sister's ex's, and where I come from 2 of them would be scrap if I saw them again)

ANYWHERE you're from you'd beat the shit of a kid that says anything he says in the last movie. "She knows how to work a stick" yeah that's when later on you ask Bee to transform before he gets out of the car. That's probably why he and her are not in the film. Him mostly I'd say.

Of course I don't want Unicron ruined. And considering the movie universe's track record regarding the ruination of characters, it's a high probability that if new characters appear they will be grossly misused. My point was that the Quintessons are so loathsome to me that even a badly characterized Unicron would be preferred to them. But since the "creators" were not only mentioned but partially shown in Age of Extinction, I think sadly the Quints are coming.Sabrblade wrote:I don't follow that logic.

Make room on the boat for one more. I'm a fan of the TF flicks in general, (absolutely love the first one), but AoE is simply one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I think my brain checked out about halfway through.

I wonder why some just assume this might be Megatron's new alt-mode.

I wondered if anyone would catch that. Brings me back to the point that Bay loves the military so much, I'm surprised that he didn't include Bruticus (or Ruination, a better name IMO) as the 1st combiner on screen.Stuartmaximus wrote:Hey! i saw what you did there! you managed to get ruination into your response

The first movie had a run time of only 2:24
But the second was 2:30 long! SIX whole minutes more of our lives spent watching it
The third was 2:37 SEVEN minutes longer!
The fourth 2:45 EIGHT minutes longer!
As you see each time the run time difference is one minute longer than the last!
So I predict that The Last Knight will be 2:53, NINE minutes longer than the last

In between getting to see Bay work up close for the first time and watching tons of explosions and gunfire, I was able to participate in a group interview with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
During an extended conversation with one of the few people that’s been involved in all the Transformers movies besides Michael Bay, he revealed how The Last Knight came together, how the film explores the Transformers mythology, what’s different about this sequel, how they determine which characters to include, if they listen to the fans when making the films, future sequels, the status of the Bumblebee spinoff, if people need to have seen the first four installments to understand The Last Knight, how Grimlock plays a larger role, their relationship with Hasbro, and so much more. If you’re a fan of Transformers, I promise you’ll love this interview because it’s loaded with info. Check out what he had to say below.
[...]
Are there direct connections, though, that you would see to the Bumblebee spin-off of things in this movie? Does this set things up?
Di Bonaventura: Sometimes is the answer. It’s not always, because I think then it feels like you’re really trying to widget it all together, and it becomes a little too neat. But I think–I don’t think, I know–some of the things will have a very direct relationship. You’ll see some things in here that are laying a pipe. You won’t necessarily know that it’s laying a pipe for another movie, but it’s there.
So there’s probably, in a really meaningful way, two or three things in this movie that really have a meaningful aspect in terms of it, and then there’s a bunch of little things. But we’re not making this movie to set up the other movies. That’s what I’m trying to say. If you get too carried away with that, you stop thinking about this movie.
And this movie, the two lines of mythology in a sense give you freedom to go a lot of different places later on that may or may not directly relate to another movie, but it’s opening up the universe in a way that I think, in that way it’s probably the most provocative, in terms of the movie. It’s opening a really large universe of what Transformers is, and where they’ve come from, and how we relate to them, and how they relate to themselves.
[...]
I’m curious where you guys are at on the Bumblebee?
Di Bonaventura: It’s being written.
Can you say who the writers are?
Di Bonaventura: Christina Hodson is the writer.
Is there a plan–I think it has a release date, if I’m not mistaken.
Di Bonaventura: I think the Paramount release said ’18. I think it said 2018. I don’t know if they put an actual date, but I believe they–honestly, that release came out about 4 months ago, and all I’m trying to do is get it ready as soon as I can!
[...]
Is this one of these movies where–will people have to have seen the first four to enjoy this film?
Di Bonaventura: No, no. That’s another conscious thing. The opening of the film will introduce the sort of exploration of the mythology that we’re going to do. Therefore, it’s not necessary to have seen the films before, because it’s going to establish the–let’s call it the mystery of the movie, and the direction the movie is going to go in.
That was a very conscious attempt, because that’s the other thing you forget as a film maker. Not everybody–you kind of fell like everybody’s seen it, so they can come right along for the ride. So the opening sequence, which is probably–I don’t know, it’s been a while since I counted the pages, but I’ll say ten pages, sets the mystery of the movie, of this movie. If you’ve never seen another Transformers movie, you don’t need to.
[...]
Was that Grimlock being more in the film–was that a nod to fans that wanted to see more Dinobots, or more action with the Dinobots?
Di Bonaventura: I think everybody wanted to see more Dinobots, including ourselves, you know what I mean? We all were like god, we wish we could have found a way in that story to include them more. So that was one of the hopes/priorities going into this, was to try to find a way to bring them back into the stories?
So is it more than Grimlock, or mostly Grimlock?
Di Bonaventura: There’s a few others, but Grimlock is, to me–I like Grimlock the most, so that’s probably why I talk the most about it, you know? And I just saw a sequence, so that’s probably why it’s on the top of my head. He’s funny. He’s like a naughty dog in this movie. He’s really sheepish when he does something wrong. He’s a great character. He’s really–we’re bringing out a side of him that you’re going to like–you’re going to relate to.
[...]
If you’re introducing a new villain, is Galvatron/Megatron still around? Does he play any role in this?
Di Bonaventura: Yeah, Megatron for sure is around. I mean, are we talking about some of the ones that are…
Staffer: You can talk about some of the new ones.
Di Bonaventura: So if you go back in the mythology, how Transformers were actually created, where did it start, where did they go from being a sort of a slave-race to a sentient race–we’re delving into that aspect of the mythology, so the characters that are involved in there are Megatron before he’s Megatron, Optimus before he’s Optimus, the Librarian, the Quintessons, there’s a whole group of things that have to do with how, in a sense, the Transformers were birthed, and also with how they were divided. What brought up the division, and what were the jealousies involved.
So I think on that level, you’re going to deal with things that feel from a stakes level higher, because of the importance of the sort of thought, right? There’s still, of course, the threat to the world and that sort of threat we have, but I think that threat is amplified now, because you’re going to feel why certain aspects of our world, why we’ve been fighting in a sense.
