Transformer Rise of the Beasts: The One Nobody Saw

This franchise used to break box office records. Now it can hardly make a dent. But hey, at least they're finally making alright movies. Thats what I'd describe Rise of the Beasts as. Decent, flawed and one that nobody saw.

The biggest issue with this film? It dropped Unicron too early. Unicron is a Thanos-level "ultimate" villain. This movie should have been three separate films: one featuring the Autobots vs. Decepticons (which could feature the Noah and Mirage friendship plot since it was genuinely fun), a second film featuring Maximals vs. Predacons (so the Maximals get enough time to shine as main characters rather than just being on the side) and then finally save Unicron and his heralds for the grand finale of a trilogy. This movie tried to fit in all three concepts at once and wasn't able to realize any of them to their full potential.

[@Xerodm]

I took it as being similar to the first Avengers movie. You get to see and hear the big bad but it's setting up a future confrontation.

The original GI Joe and Transformers cartoons take place in the same universe despite minimal crossover, and they’ve had a million crossover in comics since.

[@johncarvella6086]

[@sykamoreva9803]

Folks in the replies have already mentioned Transformers and G.I. Joe's past crossovers, but they crossed over again just recently. After comic publisher IDW lost the rights to Transformers and G.I. Joe, Image Comics picked them both up and put em together in what they call the Energon Universe. The comics are actually really solid so far, and they combine the two franchises way more naturally than this movie seems to... Anyway, the movie and the comic merger happening so close together is likely not a coincidence

Fun fact for those who don't know... Beast Wars was is a historically important show because it followed ReBoot in being a fully 3D rendered CGI show on a meager weekly show budget and insane schedule. It could do it because of the shift from super expensive software meant to run on super expensive SGI workstations (and mainframes just a few years earlier) could now be run on what was essentially desktop computers. Shouts to Mainframe and Alliance (the production companies) for breaking new ground with ReBoot in 1994 and following up with Beast Wars.

I think I'll go ahead and explain who the Terrorcons were in the olden days of G1, and keep it brief. They were a Decepticon team of five that all turned into straight up monsters. They consisted of: Sinnertwin, the angry, two headed fire breathing thing. Blot, the sickly bridge troll. Ripper Snapper, the stealthy walking shark. Cut Throat, the psychotic bird creature. And the leader, the glutenous Hungrrr. They also combined to become the raging Decepticon, Abominus, who to quote Micheal Mercy "is so stupid it once took him an hour to cook minute rice."

TF ROTB is definitely a great movie in my opinion, but it is a film that could've benefitted as a Rise Of The Autobots story than as a Rise Of The Beasts story.

Yet another movie my dad worked on. Lets just say this one was a mess. It was filmed in Montreal and in Peru. My dad worked in the Montreal part of the movie and was responsible for the transport logistics. So everything from trucks, van location, lodges for actors and staff and all that. btw the movie was filmed in the summer of 2021 even though in came out in 2023. So for that whole summer my dad would come back from work with the wildest stories of that day. for example, the initial police chase with the porsche in the beginning of the movie kinda went wild during filming seeing has they crashed 14 of them. its not rare to crash several cars during filming (fast and the furious probably hold that record). Another cool thing is usually when production wrap up, especially the big ones staff gets a gift. for transformer my dad got a blanket made of llama fur from Peru with a transformer logo in the bottom corner. Idk if this worth anything but has far as i can tell this is pretty original and it actually has a cool link with the filming of the movie (best gift he got for a movie was to keep the director chairs for the movie Arrival(2016)).

[@AroAceGamer]

Maybe its my clouded childhood nostalgia, but another thing that seems to be missing from RotB is that larger-than-life aspect the Transformers had in the previous films. In the Bay films, the Transformers looked big, felt big, and left devastation in their wake as they fought in cities among the human populace. Michael Bay really liked to show how huge these guys are. Even in RotF, they didn't fight in a big city, but they still felt big as they fought in a Forest from Sam's perspectives. The climax of RotB kinda reminds me of the desert fight in RotF, but kinda worse, fighting on this flat plane without much scale.

[@TheGreatMcPain]

I felt the same way. I thought the camera during ROTB's climax moved unnaturally and unrestricted kinda like a MCU movie. In most of the Bay movies the camera felt grounded.

[@mrcheesemunch]

@@no-replies The first movie came out 16 years ago...how OLD are you? I'm 30, I was 14 when the movie came out

[@mrcheesemunch]

Yeah people criticise Bay's action style a lot but I think it made these movies way more awesome than they had any right to be, the visual effects were never what made these movies bad(until they got way shittier later) The CGI even the first movie still holds up amazingly well, all the little parts of the bots moving around and clicking in to place as they transform is incredible. Size is something the cartoons even never really got that right because they still ultimately had to turn in to cars and stuff that the human characters had to get in to, so the scale always seemed a little weird. Massive sentient robots SHOULD cause a lot of destruction, it was always weird to me how people say Michael Bay ruined that particular part.

[@Jesse-xg8rk]

They also fight on an alien megastructure setpiece against an army of things their size, which also makes them seem less impressive.

[@tru3toxicgaming509]

I agree. It didn't feel as powerful with the visuals or designs. Yeah, they were more cohesive than the Bay designs, but they ended up like a good 3/4 the size of the bay versions for the most part, and they didn't feel nearly as powerful like you said. It felt like some big people fighting and not giant robots. It was fun, yeah. But I honestly prefer most, if not all the bay films to this for entertainment and maybe even story. Hasn't really improved much story wise. Just "oh, we need this thing but to also keep it from the other side, then a big action scene after" Except I like the way the Bay movies did the action much more

Yup, it has the exact same energy as his ghost performance, i guess you could try and blame it on the voice director. But almost all of the voice actors in this and destiny are great. Dinklage sticks out like a sore thumb in this. Im gonna say it's him that is not good at voice acting.

I think the one thing that really bothered me was the characterisation of Optimus. I know he's younger here, but I always thought of the first Transformers movie was the best version of Optimus, he's hopeful and kind to species different from him but he also has an edge to him that does what's necessary because of his experience in the war of Cybertron. Plus, isn't the reason why he's chosen to be Prime is his kindness to everyone? But also, G.I. Joe? I think they're trying to do that Kong and Godzilla crossover thing (or a Hasbro Cinematic Universe jfc) but at least they're both huge monsters, this was just so jarring.

I know its hardly little more than an ok movie with less than interesting human characters, but seeing Cuzco and those wonderful shots near Macchu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman certainly made it special for us, and having some minor indigenous characters was also heart-warming. Too bad the part were the final battle occurs is just made up with generic CGI.

I liked the fact that for the marketing in Latin America Optimus Prime's dub actor, Blas García, was featured in some of Paramount's social media posts.

It's a reminder that "representation matters". Another example: "Black Panther" showed Afro-Futurism. Another one: setting "District 9" in Johannesburg (south Africa). Yet another one: "Ms. Marvel" and her Pakistani family. Want one more? "Blue Beetle" and his Latino family. All these movies were seen, discussed, and supported by the "represented demographic". Even if a few of them didn't make billions, they made more than they would without their location and/casting decisions. As much as we 💩 on "woke casting" and what-not, human audiences like to see themselves represented *positively* on the big screen.

I actually preferred Noah over Sam. Sam's emotional hang ups honestly had very little relevance to the Transformers directly. But Noah's desire to look out for his brother is very comparable to Optimus's plight. But I think we could have had Air razor provide the exposition more than Elena(so more screentime for Air Razor). Also Rhinox and Cheetor(but definitely Rhinox) were done dirty in this movie. Edit: Thanks everyone for the likes! I seem the counter is going up and up. Currently at over 350 at this point. Edit #2: And we're over 450 likes! Thanks everyone Again all in all Noah is arguably a better written character than Sam at least for TF1 and potentially TF2. We probably can't get Noah or other characters like Noah for the next few movies but he's a good template. I still would like to see Noah having a cameo in the next movies at least if possible.

[@ChineduOpara]

"Air Razor"

[@DieHardAlien]

Could've just used Primal, Airazor, and Cheetor as the primary Maximals and that's it. Save Rhinox for another film if a sequel got made. Could've just used Prime, Arcee, and Mirage (with Bee at the start and climax of the flick once Mirage is out of the movie and in his suit mode) as the primary Autobots and that's it. Save Wheeljack for another film with a variation of his G1 design shown in Bumblebee. Could've just used Scourge (a name used for characters in both Generation One and Beast Wars), Nightbird (primarily a Generation One character), and Quickstrike (primarily a Beast Wars character) as the primary Terrorcons and that's it. A good combination of villainous characters from different versions of the franchise whom are visually distinct from one another that people wouldn't mind being Terrorcons as Unicron's enforcers in this incarnation.

[@Frenzyshark]

@@DieHardAlien We have to be careful about how many characters we exclude from a movie since there's no guarantee there will actually be a next movie that continues the storyline. While I can agree "less characters can mean more" for a movie, if the movie does terribly, the next movie will probably just axe the current characters(the execs can assume the current characters weren't liked so no point in having them take up screentime in the next movie) and we won't see the characters "we saved for the sequel". Sometimes certain characters only really work well with other characters being there as they did in the original show. If Rhinox had some lines, it would have been great to have him talk to Cheetor. A damn shame.

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie and wanted to see it, then poof, suddenly the movie has come and gone and I didn’t even know. Watched it yesterday on HBO so now I can finally watch this video. So many of your cut-away clips were the exact reactions I had to plenty of moments in this movie. In that opening sequence when they showed the key I said to myself “well here’s our McGuffin”. In Noah’s first scene when he’s repairing the cable-box the “I’m an inventor” line played in my head. Mirage’s “they fly now” made me think of that scene from Star Wars RoS. “Whelp, guess Bee is dead again for now”, which didn’t have much impact because they had shown him fighting in the final battle in the trailer. Overall I enjoyed the movie, it wasn’t the best or groundbreaking but it was far from the worst and was very adequate. Though for a movie called “rise of the beasts”, the maximals didn’t get much focus. Even with only four being present, only two were characters. I know nothing about Beast Wars and have no knowledge about them outside of this movie and what you added, so I feel they should have had a larger role in this movie. Noah wearing the Mirage suit of armor in the final battle looked a bit like Samus and just felt odd. Like everyone else here, I was fully expecting the reveal to be sector 7, so G.I. Joe really came out of nowhere and gave my a good laugh. I still hope they do another movie after this one.

That shit rules. It'll never not be hilarious to me that cinematic titan and legend Orson Welles, last film was voicing Unicron. Also the music fucking rules

Haha, nice! I had been wondering if you were going to do the original animated one, or by the actual title: "The Transformers the Movie". The animations are highly underrated, especially for something that actually preceded Akira by a couple of years. (I see many similarities in the moving parts of both, I wasn't just randomly bringing that up.) The plot is...Well, there is one! Looking forward to it!
