[@alc4528]

There was almost potential here. For good writing. Could’ve written optimus well here as a leader who is just fed up. Optimus has sacrificed so much for humanity including his own best friends and to have them betray him was the tipping point; saying he’ll tear them apart for killing ratchet, saying they’re leaving earth for good, and finally the best line “how many more of my kind have to pay for your mistakes”. Ughhhhhh it’s just so frustrating Michael bay and the rest of the producers are. First movie he stays stoic but gradually loses it and becomes more ruthless as we see with him brutally kill decepticons. Even with megatron there was potential, first movie he was a generic bad guy but by TLK megatron says all he wants is to go home and seems to regret losing his brotherhood with optimus because so many cybertronians are just gone. Heck by movie 3 megatron saved optimus and proposed a treaty.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean by the second movie he's already executing defenseless prisoners in the first few Scenes. I legitimately gave up on him in like 5 minutes of the damn thing starting. So I don't know there's anything gradual about it.

Optimus killing Scavanger was justified since during Scavangers explosive escape he murdered a bunch of humans

@@DudeMannProds That's true. How do you keep a skyscraper sized constructicon called DEMOLISHER (that was his name) as a prisoner just after he killed every human in a shanghai highway

[@vaggos2003]

​​@@ilikepigeons6101Very simple. You lock him in a cell and take him prisoner which shouldn't even be that hard because Optimus has just obliterated his limbs, meaning he is not a threat and cannot escape, but he can talk, meaning that you can keep him in a cell or in some kind of containment and then interrogate him so that you will have information on where the other Decepticon bases are so that you will be able to locate them quickly and efficiently with fewer risks of collateral damage and casualties. You would have even more of a reason to keep this guy alive if that guy acted like a dumbass and revealed part of their plan which includes an ancient enemy that you may or may not recognise. Or, you know, you could just kill your one lead and throw a few one-liners afyer having done a piss-poor job containing the fight and the collatetal damage and then start wondering why the Decepticons keep coming because you have no leads on what they are planning to do. I mean, the scene doesn't even seem to aclnowledge the collateral damage and casualties that might have been caused and saying that those Decepticons were too dangerous to be left alive is undercut by how easily the Autobots overpowered them, because ever since Revenge of the Fallen, the Decepticons can't be compotent fighters to save their lives...literally.

Fun Facts about the Dinobots: They were rumored to appear in Revenge of The Fallen according to several interviews prior to the film's release, but Michael Bay refused to put them in the film because he hates them. In the film's behind-the-scenes, the designers wanted to go for a Barbarian look for the Dinobots. Grimlock and company are never called their names or talk, instead, they are just referred to by Optimus as Brave or Legendary warriors, until the next film. Also, a velociraptor named Slash was supposed to appear with multiples of him like he was Dupli-Kate from Invincible and obviously, Hound was supposed to ride him.

[@jaydonmagan4694]

Yeah, Galvatron has to be the biggest let down, in terms of design, for me in this film. Galvatron has and is always supposed to be Megatron, but cooler looking. Except for the times when they are separate characters, but even then Galvatron still looks cooler. In here, he looks painfully basic. Even compared to the Megatron designs. Not to mention how they just decided to turn Galvatron back into Megatron by the next film. There were so many bad decisions made for those last two movies. But, onto something positive, have you seen Prime Vs Prime’s new video on the Legacy Velocitron Blurr? A.k.a IDW Blurr. I gotta say, that has to be the best look for the 86 Blurr mold. I hope Hasbro does more IDW designs for their mainline toys in the future. I know they kind of did that in Titans return, but they weren’t as good as how Blurr looks here. I would love to get the 86 Grimlock remolded as his IDW appearance. Same with Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron (cause then he would have a better looking head, even though those were more so horns on a helmet rather than looking like a crown).

Though MAYBE you could also squeeze that in at the end of the first movie.

[@galovicmedia]

The first time I watched this movie I never noticed how stupid some of the designs are, like Chrosshairs or Double-Shockwave. Some of the designs I do like a lot, like The Dinobots, or Hound. I like the IDEA of Hound, an old war veteran that's out of shape, but still has some fight left in him, but the excution of that idea kinda went down the drain. As for The Dinobots, I like most of their dinosaur and robot designs. Except Grimlock's robot mode. Everything is fine with it, the shoulder-pads made out of the dino head, the cool mace hand, but THE HEAD! JESUS! Why does he look like a monster-crab abomimation?! Like the rest of The Dinobots robot mode heads have kick-ass knight helmets, like Scorn, or Strafe, so why didn't they do the same with Grimlock? He already had a cool faceplate and visor in G1? Why not just work with that and just add onto it? I do have another problem with The Dinobots designs... Why are they silver? Like DARK silver, you can barely make any detail out. It's a shame they didn't go with the toy colours, like Scorn's red or Grimlock's orange. Now, I don't want them to be fully coloured, I want something like Strafe´s colour scheme, he just has HINTS of blue throughout his body, just enough not to look bland, but enough to look like actual metal (if that makes any sense). They could have put hints of red, or orange or purple on the designs to tie 'em all together, but that they still feel like individuals. Also it's a shame that Slash (velociraptor), Slog (brachiosaurus) or Snarl (stegosaurus) weren't in the movie, the designs were legitematly awsome, like how Slash, from a slender velociraptor turns into a squat, kinda chubby bot. The TLK premiere version of that figure (the one I have) has a cool metalic cyan-like sheen. Anyways to get back on track, some designs are fine, while some suck ass. The plot of AOE all in itself is.. fine, the characters just drag it down SOOO much, as well as some stupid "comedic" scenes (the romeo and juliet law scene). In conclusion, this movie is the worst in The Bayverse, The last knight is second place. My score would be 5.5/10 (I was being generous there. Sorry for going off-track, by A LOT there, just wanted to give my thoughts there!

[@sebastiangomez4824]

This is probably when the franchise started getting hated by everyone because the only people dumb enough to like the first three were little kids and they finally grew up around this time. So they’re capable of seeing these movies as bad but still blinded by nostalgia enough to think the first three were any different

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That does probably have something to do with it, considering that the movies weren't going to be getting new fans at movie 4, who thinks that's an appropriate place to start watching a characters Story.

Apparently there’s a rumor that the original villains were supposed to be the Stunticons and Menasor. Earth-built decepticons, their leader transforming into a truck like prime, and a red sports car that could be Wildrider? Come the fuck on bay, it was RIGHT THERE MAN

That would have made more sense, but it's bay so it wasn't going to happen.

[@BonnCanlasGaming45]

Tbh as much as like the Bayverse (yes I do) designs, however I wish they tried to make them a bit more respectful to the original design of the character but also being unique. As for AOE, yeah in the design dempartment they kinda give up making those designs, sure it may be cool but the character designs (Autobots) make its seem they don't transform due to them being too human, they just designed human-like robots, then put a bumper, door, or tire there, then done. Sure you may argue that all of the Bayverse are like this(especially the Decepticons), but at least in the first 3 films at least tried (with the Autobots at least) to make you know a tiny bit about their transformation, meaniwhile in AOE you can't tell how they transform. As for the "Decepticons", they're the most blandest thing in a movie franchise with busy designs, that's all I have to say with the cons. For Lockdown, while he kinda does look bland especially because he's just a dude with bits of car parts like the Autobots in AOE, I dunno Lockdown is just so intimidating with the dark gray and especially with the mask. As for the Dinobots, they're kinda cool, but they're just there to get people on seats because robot dinosaurs are cool I guess.

0:17 - Well in Age of Extinction's case, this particular movie has Tessa Yeager and Shane Dyson. Nevermind Cade, it's Beavis and Butthead over here that outdo Sam. By far the two worst human characters in, shit not just the Bayformer films, the two worst humans in the entire history of Transformers as a franchise, from G1 to Cyberverse. And no it ain't just that creepy "Romeo & Juliet Law" bullshit, oh no, *IT'S EVERYTHING.* Their characterization, their dialog, the ungodly amount of screen time they are given over the Dinobots everyone even bothered watching this movie see, Shane being a goddamn coward who puts up a tough act, Tessa being stupid enough to fall for his tough guy act, Tessa being such a screaming wimp that she sets Women back all the way to the stone age, there is just so much wrong you wonder if there's anything right! I mean shit the fact that the actors playing them aren't winning any awards any time soon is the LEAST of the problems. I am more than convinced if you axed them both just as they axed that Lucas twit, there is a chance this movie could have been......watchable..... Rewatchable. Like you could stomach watching it more than once without throwing up like you did the first time........

[@PerspectiveEnd]

To be fair, it's more Bay Setting women back to the stone age, because he had her written and played like that, but I have no comment, I'd given up on the movies by this point, so I never bothered watching any part of it that didn't have robots. And the complication videos of all the robot screen time in the movie, are shockingly short.

This movie has some of my favorite designs in the bayverse. It also helped that the autobots in this movie got somewhere around 10 minutes each of screentime, compared to some others who barely got 5. The designs all feel distinct and every character looks unique. They don't look like they can transform, but I think that makes them better.

Yeah I was noticing that about this one, though to be fair this was like the longest of the movies so them getting 10 minutes is actually still too little.

I never saw this or Last Knight. I have Paramount+ and they're both on there along with Bumblebee so the only excuse I have is, for once the bad designs completely made me want to not watch a Bayformers movie. No one looks like they can actually transform, they're just generic robots with Prime and Bumblebee's faces, that's it. I couldn't tell you the plots of these two, nor do I care. All I know is Mark Wahlberg is there, and the villain is played by a dude who I swear I thought was David Cross at first, but turns out he's not and that disappoints me greatly because David Cross in a Transformers movie is something I want to see. Brains and Wheelie are probably my favorite Bay designs for how ugly they are and also because I find this Wheelie far more tolerable than the Dr. Seuss wannabe from the G1 days, but I know that's just a me thing. I feel bad for the cast and crew though, because no one wanted to make this besides the studio. Bay was wanting to make documentaries on elephant poaching from what I heard and I find that a pretty noble cause, unfortunately the powers that be said otherwise and so he made Quintessas face to punish us all, and I cannot wait for you to tear into that design because something about her design really pushes all the wrong buttons for me.
