[@kingofthegrill]

The whole reason they did "Optimus is bad" was that 2016 to 2017 was the "Batman fights Superman, Captain America fights Iron Man" era. My personal favorite example is Fast and Furious 8, Dom fights the Fast and Furious.

[@directorforplastic7929]

“Dom fights the Fast and Furious” that makes it sound like the name of the crew/family in those movies is literally “The Fast and Furious”

[@Beepers559]

Kinda disappointed they went with Optimus turning evil instead of using nemesis prime, would’ve probably been better anyway since (iirc) nemesis was sometimes depicted as an evil clone of Optimus, heck they could’ve just had nemesis be quintessa’s pet project instead of forcing Optimus to become “Optimus primevil”

While its a departure from all the best films he's in, the atmosphere, the crew being nice, and lax filming made it the most fun he's ever been in a production.

This movie feels like every scene had a different writing team and there was no coordination between them. One team wanted a cool Suicide Squad-style montage introducing the bad guys, the team for the next scene wanted the bad guys to get instantly curbstomped by the heroes. One wanted a ton of exposition, one wanted a humanoid robot voiced by the Downton Abbey butler, one wanted a scene with Evil Optimus.

Hi I'm a huge Transformers fan (and part-time studier of the Bayverse) and I need to clarify something about this so please excuse me if this takes too long and I sound like a huge nerd who needs to be shoved in a locker. There was a prequel comic to this film that explained that Optimus made a pit stop to a planet because he needed more energon. But he had to fight a sentry guy protecting the resource. In the end, Optimus takes a little bit of it so that he can make it to Cybertron but only in stasis mode. And also so he can share it with the sentry man. This comic was included in the Blu-Ray release of TLK. But only at Toys-R-Us. Whether or not it's canon to the film is debatable. Not to mention the distance he traveled from Earth to this planet to Jupiter. TL;DR: Optimus didn't die in space. He's just on autopilot after a quick pit stop.

This movie is the very definition of a Frankensteins monster of a movie, especially when it comes to how it was even concieved in the first place. Originally, Transformers 5 was supposed to conitinue from Age Of Extinction where Optimus takes the fight to the Quintessons, and further develop a lot of the plot threads left open by the 4th film. But since the studio wanted to rush everything, they took only small elements of the fifth movie's script and mashed it with a Transformers Knights film and a WW2 Transformers film, which were both planned to be entirely seperate from each other with their own stories in mind. To make things worse, Steve Jablonsky confirmed they removed 40 mins of the film entirely, which all had pivotal story information and a lot of Steve's work cut out as a result. So this movie was pretty much doomed to fail due to a lot of studio interference and Bays lack of care of the source material at this point lol.

But I have the suspicion that I, a person who never even saw the movie, have put more thought into this than the writers themselves.

[@CalvinKalisto]

Is that the lore of the order, the members going, " F*ck this, we're out and we're taking the name with us?" I thought from how the movie presented itself was that it was one big related family, with Sam being a family member.

[@EJ_Red]

@@CalvinKalisto I assumed the order lost influence and power and dwindled heavily before the 1800s until a very, very few remained (Hence why there is only one ny the time TF5 happens), and the Witwicky family was just the relic of a bygone era that just happens to be not just descended from one of the Witwiccans family but was one of its most prominent families that somehow endured, hence why its name sounds so similar and why it still uses the motto for its own

I still find it so hilarious how after that badass speech Optimus gave about how he was going to find the creators. This film reveals he proceeded to get lost in space and froze. That is just a hilarious way to undermine the last films ending it felt almost like a joke someone made. Like someone saw that ending and gave a joking nitpick of how 'Lol he has no ship, wouldn't he just freeze?' and then the writers just made that canon.

Fun Fact: Cogman was originally going to be the first Headmaster transformer introduced in the Live-Action movies. Nitro Zeus was originally going to be killed by him via decapitation, and Cogman was going to take over and control his body for a bit by transforming into a head. A remnant of this idea can be found in Nitro Zeus's figure, where Nitro's head can be removable via a Titan Master port, where a Titan Master-esque Cogman figure would have fit into.

[@Skaphel]

They even went as far as making Cogman's Deluxe Premier Edition toy be straight up a crossover of the Last Knight and Titan Master toylines, where Cogman is a tiny titan master and his car turns into a transtector body.

Someone probably already said it, but Cogman was meant to be a headmaster. The part where he finds his body was scrapped at some point, however. Fans also think that there may have been a plan for him to take Nitro Zeus' body since the toy had the headmaster port for no other discernible reason.

I think I saw that too on the Transformers Basics

[@godouroboros8047]

Dont forget: the dinobots, who are technically knights themselves, straight up just disappear from the movie. Also, the submarine they used to get to the underwater ship was also a transformer, that never transformed and it too disappeared from the movie. These absences have always bugged me.

[@davidsavage5630]

The original version of the film or....original concept/screenplay/script whatever....an upgraded Grimlock was supposed to be the main hero after Optimus becomes Nemesis Prime. The Dinobots were supposed to be The Last Knights (that was the original title). The whole thing sounded a hundred thousand times better. So...of course they changed it completely..

[@GromusPrime]

APPARENTLY according to the toys, Cogman (Robot Butler) is a headmaster. A headmaster is a Transformer which's head can turn into a smaller dude who can be a driver for the car their bigger body turns into. In this case the car is the one cogman drives in the movies and cogman is the head. Sadly we never see him in his TRUE robot mode.

[@ashuraomega1000]

He was going to take nitro Zeus's body after his head was blown off by bumblebee but it was cut from the film

[@Nobody44112]

Wait that's actually really cool

[@gunznblades3547]

From as best as I can recall hearing, mainly from Emgo316's review of the Cogman toy, there's was apparently a deleted scene where Cogman ripped Nitro's head off and took over his body, with the only real evidence of this cut concept being that both Cogman and Nitro Zeus's toys in the TLK line had the headmaster toy gimmick from titans return (I think that was the mainline before this movie) with the Cogman toy's head being able to transform into those tiny headmaster robots while Nitro's head connection was in the same shape as the heads of the headmaster toys. Whether true or not, its definitely sad we never got to see Cogman do more action stuff with his headmaster ability.

Anyone else notice how every sequel justifies its own existence with retcons? Its a series that moves backwards more than forwards.
