[@thecomic2731]

He really was. As bad as this movie was, I can't deny that I love everything we see of Lockdown in AoE. Everything from his ship, his dogs, his accent, his ideology, to his theme all builds him up to being a truly threatening bounty hunter, and an incredible one at that. Honestly, if we could just take some of the villains straight from the bay films, (DotM Sentinel, DotM Megatron, and AoE Lockdown), and put them into passion-crafted Transformers movies, it would be incredible, in all the best ways.

​@@thecomic2731 If you're interested, Lockdown was introduced in the Transformers: Animated show, in which he is also a bounty hunter, and still a formidable threat. He isn't quite as evil, but it is an appearance in a passion crafted piece of TF media. Plus he got voiced by Lance Henriksen. Bay's version of Megatron and Optimus were also really well rewritten in the show Transformers: Prime

[@thecomic2731]

@@maxmocs5008 I absolutely agree. TFP was incredible, and it's probably my all-time favorite tf series. Animated is also really good! I love almost every TFA character except for Soundwave.

Both shows are wonderful examples of how good a TF series can be when there's a true passion for it.

@@Erasureeraser And they probably had multiple scripts. There's no way the original drafts/scripts was just this one mish-mash, there had to be multiple and Bay just picked which ones he liked and then Kruger had to cobble it all together somehow. Just like the next one.

[@Erasureeraser]

@@_somestuff I mean that's what literally happened when shooting Revenge of the Fallen. The movie was filmed in the middle of the writer's strike so legally Bay and Paramount couldn't hire a screenwriter until the strike was over so instead Bay and the actors just come up with something that has nothing to do with the movie but still gonna be in the final cut for some reason. They started filming without a complete script and i guess that happens with the rest of the movies

The part that confused me the most is that the over two hundred countries in the world are okay with taking out Optimus prime. Which technically in the world is pretty famous and probably considered a hero but they went full 180 on him and killed his friends.

[@MrHAH-cd9ku]

On one hand, there’s killing aggressive assholes like the wreckers. On the other hand, there’s trying to kill OPTIMUS PRIME, your SAVIOR. I think the big thing that got them scared was that they trusted Primes naturally, or at least thought “The Fallen” was the obviously evil and dumb prime. Then Sentinel came along, shot up NEST, killed fellow autobots, nearly beat Optimus, worked closely with Megatron, and got Chicago, and almost the world, completely obliterated with ease. And that was from Optimus Prime’s own mentor, and someone Optimus Prime told people to trust. The humans were used to fighting some obvious evil that disguised as tech, but Sentinel suddenly blasted through and caused more damage than both of the decepticon leaders by pretending to be a good transformer. Just like that, the humans looked for alternatives and killed the Transformers without care. They always seemed to mistrust the robots, and didn’t always get along with Optimus, so they didn’t want to be caught unaware if Prime followed his mentor’s footsteps and tried a weird cybertron strategy, no matter how many times he’d say he wouldn’t.

[@lisboah]

I'm not certain that Michael Bay really has lost his passion. It's true that as the Transformers franchise went on the movies became more and more blatantly sloppy. But at the same time he always has been about excitment before anything else, and that has remained true in his later TF films. It's very possible that he's not so much having a burnout as finally getting to do things exactly as he want them to be.

I can honestly understand why Bay just didn’t give a shit anymore.

However, paramount wanted more sequels, so he was forced to change the script to the ending we see today.

[@il100374]

I swear we have the same brain. Like, none of the Transformers movies are "good". But something about those first 3 movies... I do find enjoyment in them. Especially the first one. Good pacing, good enough character building, actual stakes, build up, and that end fight in the city is prettyyy badass (especially those scenes with Ironhide). After the 3rd film, it felt like Bay lost all his creativity...

[@MrHAH-cd9ku]

Bay frankly didn’t enjoy working on the movies after even the first one, but he really lost motivation when pals of his insisted on a fourth one after he killed Megatron, The Fallen, Sentinel, Starscream, Shockwave, and literally any other potential villain that he knew of. He didn’t want to make some shit like Galvatron, or even Lockdown, but he eventually decided to try anyways. It sucked, but China loved it, and China is an amazing moneymaker. Then he tried to quit, again. He didn’t care if Galvatron was still alive and Optimus had a whole new story going on. When he was to do it AGAIN, he was probably so very tired of transformers he didn’t bother following his own lore. Bay retconned himself into the ground, and scoff, he didn’t go for money. The movie was finally some sort of box office fail, and he immediately ditched now that even the money wasn’t worthwhile.

If I had written Transformers Age of Extinction I would keep Cade as an inventor (I actually liked the inventor part) I would make Cade find Optimus by himself, not with a clownish friend. He brings him back home not knowing he is an Autobot and then once he is at his garage he finds out he is an Autobot. Cade knows that Autobots and Decepticons are being hunted down and he has an inner conflict with either giving up Optimus for the money he needs for himself and his daughter’s college or do the right thing, but he takes the difficult choice and sacrifices his inventions to use them for parts to repair Optimus. Eventually the Mercenaries track down Optimus and right when Cade’s daughter is about to be killed Optimus wakes up and kills all the Mercenaries. Optimus goes back into vehicle mode and tells Cade and Tessa to get in and they do as Optimus says. Optimus takes Cade and Tessa with him and he transforms into his new vehicle mode and after a while they arrive with the rest of the Autobots. where we see the same ones we saw originally in the movies with Ultra Magnus included in the team (considering many fans wanted to see Ultra Magnus in live action). We would see a bonding moment between Cade and Optimus where Optimus would tell Cade he was aware that he had repaired him and he didn’t turn into his robot mode so that the mercenaries couldn’t track down his energon particles, but he failed and now he has put Cade and Tessa in danger and it’s all his fault. Cade asks why are the humans hunting down the Autobots if they are the good guys to which Optimus says he himself doesn’t know, but when he does he is going to make sure they pay. Cade tells Optimus he is going to need some human help and with the drone he recovered he finds out what autobots had been killed and where they could find the place where the bodies of the Autobots had been taken. So they invade the lab and that part would go to the lab where they would find many of the disappeared autobots prisoners and they would release them and flee from the lab. But KSI activates Galvatron who in this version would be an absolute badass who would destroy Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus in a fight forcing the team to make a desperate escape. After re grouping at a building, Cade asks what the hell was that and Optimus reveals that it was Megatron reincarnated in a new body. Mirage, one of the formerly imprisoned Autobots explains that KSI has not only revived Megatron, but his entire Decepticon Army and if they don’t stop KSI now, then the entire world is in huge trouble. Meanwhile Attinger wants to activate the decepticon army, but Cade calls Joshua and tells him that he has revived Megatrons army without knowing and Megatron is only pretending to be under KSI control until they activate his army. Joshua does believe Cade after all the malfunctions that Galvatron has been presenting lately. Joshua tells Attinger it is dangeroes to activate the KSformers because they haven’t been fully tested yet, but Attinger doesn’t give a damn and he takes command of KSI and activates the KSformers who immidiately go into robot mode killing Attinger and Savoy while Joshua escapes with the security lady he had. Joshua eventually finds Cade and the Autobots and tells them of what’s going on. Optimus tells the Autobots they need to go back to Chicago to finish this battle with the Decepticons. The Autobots, Cade, Joshua and the security lady go back to Chicago abd they battle against the Decepticons. At the end Galvatron fights Optimus and Optimus gets almost killed until Ultra Magnus and Bumble Bee appear and help Optimus and take down Galvatron, but they do not kill him. Galvatron takes the chance of activating a Nuclear device capable of blowing up a huge chunk of land. So Optimus grabs the Bomb and flies away with it while Galvatron escapes. Optimus throws the bomb into the Chicago lake. Optimus returns and Ultra Magnus tells Optimus that Galvatron has escaped, but Optimus says that what matters now is that everyone is alright and he now understands that not all humans see them as evil machines, and they Earth is their home too and they have to help humans be all that they can be “There are mysteries to the universe we were never meant to solve, but who we are and why we are here are not among them.

Michael Bay is a master at destroying a series. I don’t know how the hell the first movie got a sequel, much less FOUR of them!

[@Diaboragon]

The first movie is absolutely fine on its own. It had a lot more care and passion put into it that a lot of people retroactively take away because of the sequels. Unfortunately, the 2007 writers strike crippled the next movie's production and I think the success it still got taught the studio that they didn't need to put as much effort to still make a profit going forward. Instead of improving on what worked, they doubled down on what didn't.

The final scene where Optimus just flies away cringed me soo hard, because in Transformers 2, a "Nice" Decepticon had to sacrifice his life to 'temporarily' give Optimus the ability to fight and some much needed repairs. But now that sacrifice is pointless because he can fly all the time.

This is the most I agree with you yet. This movie felt like Michael Bay trying to recapture his past glory. A movie this bad should've been anything but boring, it could've been a so-bad-it's-good fare; indeed, there were unintentionally comedic moments in it; but somehow it still manages to be the dryest cinematic dump I've ever watched. It seemed to worth at least your past ten 'Anatomy of a Failure' videos.

The really sad part is that this film would have worked so much better with just a few tweaks, such as showing a sped up montage of Cade actually repairing Optimus, them actually getting to know each other for a few weeks before the raid, Cade actually being a struggling inventor with several successful products that aren't selling as well as they used to, using the knowledge he gained through repairing Optimus to build gadgets he uses later in the film, etc. And that's just in the first act... Actually, that's an entire film in and of itself...

[@MsFelinaFox]

I love how some filmmakers have no idea what inventing really means. I din't "invent" my gaming PC. I didn't "invent" this pizza I brought back from work. Marky Mark didn't "invent" robots in a movie about sentient robots.

[@wizardofarts1276]

I have to admit though, my favorite moment in this movie is when Optimus says to Cade something like "I went through the same phase with Bumblebee" about the daughter. It might be stupid but I loved it. And I really liked the new autobot designs, but I always wondered where they came from. Every movie I always wonder where the new bots come from.

[@Croftice1]

At the end of the first movie OP sends a message to the stars, calling all Autobots to Earth. In the third movie, the Autobot ship "Xantium" is said to have brought the (at that time) "last wave" of Autobots to Earth. The Decepticons were hiding on the dark side of the Moon. So that's how most of them came to Earth.
