[@OutFrame]

The turn with Megatron is more understandable if you see him as a TRUE believer. He believed in the system and in Sentinel Prime. Think of it like the Word Bearers and Monarchia.

[@SixshotRevan]

Hadn't thought of it that way, but the Word Bearers are actually a pretty good analogy for Megatron's disillusionment. You can tell he had full faith in Sentinel Prime in the first half of the movie, and his whole world turned out to be a lie.

[@skylerwarren7300]

The way I personally see it is that D-16 was always angry at the system, it was that he believed in SP and he hid his anger like how an adult would, he would lash out at the little things like what happen after the race when he rant to pax, The moment he realized that the reason why he hid his anger was a lie, he just wanted to tear down the entire system that was made from it, no matter the cost

The marketing really said hey this is a kids film it’s funny and it’s a buddy comedy for kids, I wasn’t gonna watch it then It comes out and I realize oh wait it’s for everyone and it’s actually good!? The marketing department really didn’t inform us that it had drama heart and good writing they dropped the ball with all that marketing pointing to this being a nothing movie that’s just a kids comedy. It’s actually a down on their luck story of classism and brotherhood which is wild

[@GavStaR79]

Well said. I'm an 80s kids. Grew up with G1 but wasn't planning on seeing this as the trailer made it seem like a kids film. My 8 year nephew wanted to see it though...so we went and loved it!

[@mikintana]

Yes, it's criminal how misrepresented this movie was in the first trailer. Unfortunately, that's the trailer they chose to run in theaters up until release. It put me and everyone else off from it.

[@SilverScribe85]

The biggest crime this movie committed was getting rid of Megatron's gladiator background

[@stephenmiller2544]

that and the kid-centric advertising. that's why people didn't come out for this.

[@Noremac25]

@@stephenmiller2544 TF2/ROTF had the BEST marketing teams assembled for it's campaign EVER! I wish we still had them.

[@strikerecho2592]

Apparently they did have his gladiator background during development, but had to cut it to focus more on the dynamic with Optimus and Megatron.

[@TheFallofTheEleventh]

⁠@@strikerecho2592which makes sense. These versions of Optimus and Megatron are clearly meant to be their own thing with heavy inspiration from other continuities. Typically Optimus is a Librarian/Clerk at the Hall of Records and Megatron is a gladiator. Having them start off as long time friends who were put through the same oppression and lies but reacted to them differently still keeps that classic dynamic while also introducing something new

[@DrawinskyMoon]

Optimus was supposed to be a clerk 😩

[@killer92173]

I actually liked Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax/Optimus Prime. Of course, NO ONE can replace Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, but the man is getting old, and you need someone who is younger and someone that can hold their own, and i think Chris Hemsworth did a great job. Yes, in the earlier stuff, his voice is a bit obvious, but when he gets his powers and he makes the big speeches and monologues, he sold me as this great leader, and i got CHILLS when he actually becomes Optimus Prime!!

[@LucarioShirona]

Fully agree with ya there. This is suppose to be a younger Optimus Prime, and even the original G1 Orion Pax wasn't voiced by Peter Cullen either. Chris did an outstanding job that still carries the spirit that Larry Cullen told Peter back when he was first casted to do the character.

[@deanofcool]

I also agree, Hemsworth did great. I had a bigger issue with megatrons voice than Optimus.

the quintessons were mining the entire planet for energon using the miners, they only come and go to pick up thier orders.

Finally, A Non Humanformers Movie Called Transformers 🥳

[@Uldihaa]

Those that grew up on Gen 1 can always recognize someone that didnt get into Transformers until Beastwars. They all complain about the human characters as if they werent a major part of Transformers from the very first episode.

[@Yuh_zhimmy]

That’s true. But that doesn’t really make them wrong of the fact that the human characters made the writing worse 90 percent of the time for these movies (with maybe a few exceptions). The shows were the only pieces of transformers media to get the human characters right. Also your account is almost as old as me gah damn lmao

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

They couldn't remember the name Orion Pax and think Peter Cullen is the only Optimus VA to ever voice Optimus Prime. I love Peter Cullen but come on, man.

[@NoahLoydOG]

I joined the Transformers fandom with Armada and the Unicron trilogy; started collecting right as G2 was turning into Universe. I was definitely used to having human characters, as well as, perhaps most importantly, different voices for Optimus and Megatron than the OG series. From there, I drifted on to War for Cybertron and its sequel, Fall of Cybertron (including the obscure DS adaptations) and learned to love the franchise without being burdened by human characters; then the Bayverse films came along and I'm pretty sure made all of us hate modern human inserts into the Transformers' millennia long war. There was just something truly ridiculous about regular soldiers using standard issue 5.56mm tracer ammo to easily kill ancient living war machines that have survived eons of conflict with other ancient living war machines that have also survived eons of conflict. Seriously, it was absurd to see random foot soldiers doing damage to bots as legendary as Megatron with small arms; it makes the whole thing feel like, "Oh, we really don't need Transformers to beat Transformers, let's just use the rifles we made for human conflict." That, and the other pointless human characters who felt like they were supposed to somehow be audience self-inserts, yet depicting some of the most cringe-inducing character progressions in cinematic history. All of that made me long to go back to either the WFC era and visit Cybertron in the earlier days of the war, or at least get reasonable human sidekicks again, with well-written characters and dialogue, sensible interactions with the Transformers that give off a sense of scale, of both size *and* the sheer, unimaginable gulf of time between humanity and the Transformers, and less of the cringe-inducing crass humor and unnecessary drama to distract from what actually puts the audience in seats to watch. We post-G1 fans of the franchise don't hate human characters in Transformers media because we think it should be just about the bots. We hate poorly written characters that are of no use to the plot, steal screen time from the timeless heroes and villains we want to see, and turn out to be the magical key to everything in a story that's encompassed millions of years. There's been way too much of that, and we get very tired of it. There's so much to the Transformers universe, from the great comic series to the Exodus books to the various video game adaptations, that dive into parts of their history before humanity even existed in the universe; heck, there's a whole lot *more* time where there aren't any humans in the universe to interact with them. The fact that some folks, from both the fans' side and the movie producers' side, feel like they have to cram humans into every Transformers story means that we become less and less likely to explore most of those stories just because of their insistence. We have hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of movies about humans. It doesn't hurt to have a few about robots that don't have humans in them.

Im a Transformers fan and ive been waiting for this review. Who knew making a transformers film about Transformers is what fans wanted. IDC if it flops this will be the iron giant to TF fans.

[@thedarkemissary]

Except, it's actually NOT what fans wanted. Hence the flop.

[@Achieme]

@@thedarkemissary but it is, it's a coherent Transformers story set on Cybertron that focuses on the Transformers. There are reasons why it flop it was the first trailer, early screening and possibly the marketing. When the second trailer came out it started to get a positive outlooks on most fans. Iron giant flopped but it's still a good movie, Transformers 4 made millions if not billions of dollars but it doesn't mean it was a good film

[@thedarkemissary]

@@Achieme You seem confused. You've conflated "good" with, "what fans want." Good isn't actually a measurable quality. "Good" is subjective. However, "what fans want" IS measurable. Quite literally, because fans can physically demonstrate, "what they want." By, buying tickets. Fans aren't buying tickets. Reviews are out. Word has spread. Been a week. Ain't no fans going to see the movie. Again, the fans LITERALLY don't want this. It's a good movie. Fans don't want it. Iron Giant might be a "good" movie. Nobody wants it. Understand?

[@a7xdisturbed774]

​@@thedarkemissaryYou're just wrong. Literally the people who have been praising this movie are long time transformers fans. Stop being a dick and accept that you're wrong.

[@spamminspiff7685]

⁠@@thedarkemissary Checking in to say, please don’t talk down to people. There is more to a movie not doing well at a box office than just “fans don’t want this”. The Iron Giant didn’t do poorly because of no one wanting it, it did bad because it had terrible marketing. If mommy and daddy are bringing little Timmy to go see a movie, they might only go to one movie for money reasons, and they’re going to go take him to see the one the know more about. In Iron Giant’s case this is even more obvious, because it was a new movie, so it didn’t even have fans before it came out, so I don’t know what you’re trying to argue there. The Iron Giant’s problem is what I’d argue is close to what happened with Transformers One. Iron Giant just didn’t really have any marketing, while Transformers One had bad marketing. Someone can make the best freaking pancakes in town, but if no one knows about it, are people going to be lining up to eat it?

[@comancheviperrrr]

Prime’s original first name was Orion. As far as a quintessence, they were in the original TV series starting in season three. So they are a long-term character of the Neos/legend/canon of the transformers. Although you should probably learn how to say it correctly lol cause you’re just totally murdering that name lol

[@mikintana]

Its criminal how misrepresented this movie was in the first trailer. That put me and everyone else off from it. I guess you could say it was more than meets the eye....

[@bet0v966]

High Guard follows Megatron b/c he killed the betrayer of the Primes who they served. They’d been fightin a guerrilla war with no end for so long. Megatron killed the one responsible for their situation and promised to do away with all Sentinel followers and the system he set up. They believe in him more than Optimus who still was holdin on to his honor code

[@MurdocIsASaint]

They are tropes because THEY WORK. They aren’t re-used just for the hell of it; humans love these ideas

[@ThirdEchoMedia]

Bingo, and I think this is a good example of tropes being executed well. It’s when tropes are done poorly that they become a bad thing. Tropes, like other elements of writing, can be useful tools, and like all tools, can be used well or poorly. An analogy: poorly executed tropes are like using a power drill as a hammer; it might barely work since it’s a blunt object, but works efficiently when used properly- as a drill.

This film was a huge pleasant surprise I saw it a week before it came out And the trailers didn’t do this movie justice at alll!

[@Czejenesku]

Optimus Prime always had a different voice when he was still Orion Pax, it changes due to Matrix of Leadership and him becoming Optimus Prime. The creators of the film said, that his voice will change to Peter Cullen if they will make a trilogy out of this (its planned as trilogy). Its still not G1 and Transformers: The Movie, but hell yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by this. Netflix's War of Cybetron still the best from modern TF, at least season 1. But that had an easy way with somewhat adapting IDW's Tranformers comicbooks.

As a life long transformers fan, I fucking loved this movie

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

Same, but it's driving me nuts hearing people complain that Peter Cullen isn't voicing Prime. There's a lot of Optimus Prime VA's with different takes on different Primes but all these chucklefucks keep saying is get the 70+ year old man to voice the 20 year old man, like come on. I love Cullens Optimus Prime but he is a very very specific type of Optimus Prime and even his 1984 Prime is not the same as his modern Prime.

[@ThirdEchoMedia]

@@Gaia_Gaistar You just articulated my exact feelings. Peter Cullen will always be THE Optimus Prime. He will always be MY Optimus Prime. But I am open to other interpretations, and I also recognize that Mr. Cullen is getting older and won’t be able to play Optimus in the coming years. As much as I love his voice performances, he needs to be able to step down when he wants/needs to, and others should be given a chance to take Optimus and make him their own version. Honestly, I’d be cool with Hemsworth playing Prime in future sequels. As long as they give him a chance to build up this version of the character through multiple stories, I think he could form a bit of his own legacy, like Gary Chalk or David Kaye.

[@JetZV]

It'll make its money back, that story is nonsense. China only just got the movie yesterday, plus Europe isn't getting it for another few weeks. Paramount screwed the release up, but those markets will turn it around no problem. Personally, I loved the movie. Bee was a bit much for me, but everyone else was great, especially D-16's descent into Megatron. Cullen not voicing Pax is probably for the best. The man's 83, so he won't be able to do this for much longer. Hell, David Kaye was OP once, and that was after several years of voicing Megatron.

[@ThomasFishwick]

another issue is the mess of release dates. it came out int the US 20th September, here in the UK we're not getting it until 10th October, other places not until 15th there's no excuse, especially not in this day and age, for that sort of staggered release

[@cpl.barbarusc4814]

My only complaint on this film and I think it would have fitted the film nicely. There was a noticable lack of Stan Bush music, not exactly "You got the Touch" but maybe something similar to "Till all are one" since is a phrase we hear on the film a couple of times. But other than that, this is the best Transformers film since 1986.

[@Tyrany42]

Do “Big Names” really have that much draw for animated movies? When I watch animation I want to hear good voices, I don’t care about names. Did anyone really play Destiny because Peter Dinklage was in it? If so they were probably disappointed when they replaced him with an actual voice actor. So much budget can be saved by just getting appropriate voices rather than names.

[@dmora2386]

I don't think they did a good job of letting people know it was coming out. I mean after the original trailer, I basically forgot it even existed, and now it's out and I didn't even know it had come out. Had I not seen this review I'd have never know it came out. Can't totally blame the movie itself... When I have to imagine there wasn't much marketing backing it.

Several times you all have made references to the beast wars, and how terrible their CGI was. There’s a reason that the CI is what it is. CGI was in its infancy. It was a brand new technology. They were still trying to get that stuff worked out. So what we got at its time was State of the art. It’s easy to look back now with what we have and see how bad it looked. But at the time it was cutting edge technology and people loved it.

They kept the budget down so it’s still gonna make a tiny little check luckily. They need to keep the budget down, make another one of these in this continuity, and build back up the transformers brand with kids again with the quality staying this good throughout.

[@derheadbanger9039]

I never understood your problems with the trailer. I was thinking this could be good, great even. Can't wait until it opens here in Germany.

[@dwaynebrietzke]

As someone who has no real knowledge of the lore behind the Transformers I found this movie great. Just good fun. I hope you guys plan to do a review on The Wild Robot which is out this week. I have seen a few reviews already saying it is a must watch.

[@timothymclain]

Loved it, every 80s kid should watch it. Make more, please!

[@leorojas6390]

This Transformers movie is likely to be better than Bumblebee. I mean, it's a cgi animated film that takes place before the war with the Autobots and Decepticons.

[@dariendarkhouse8538]

We all want this but in the style of the beginning of Bumblebee, right? With good voice actors, not just known movie stars?

[@Djblois1]

The Quintasans were in the original 86 movie. They were the planet that turned into sharks.

On paper at least, the movie should not have been as good as it is. The characters are solid and distinct from each other. None of them are given too much or too little time. The story, while a bit formulaic (not that it is an insult) and tropic, definitely had sufficient work put into it. There were plenty of easter eggs, but none become the centerpiece, at least not for very long. The best part to me was how you can clearly see how and why the characters become who they are, and for each one of them, you cannot really blame them for becoming who they do. I will acknowledge that some of the VA choices are a bit questionable - and yes, I will always have quite the soft spot for Peter as Optimus, just as I will for Kevin as Batman and Mark as Joker - but none of them are bad. The music is not bad, but nothing stood out (not in any bad way, sure, but still no real noteworthy tracks); I can probably guess why, but it will never reach the same levels as the '86 movie. With all of that said, for the complete package, I will take this movie over the '86 one. Yes, the '86 one is good, but really, you only watch that one for the VAs and the music. With this one, you can enjoy the movie as a whole.

Speak for yourself. 87 one was awesome!🎉

[@samuelquinones8612]

Does Joe not let you correct him? Blink twice if you need help Quintehsesons LOL

[@HeadCannonPrime]

This movie was slightly better than average, but there is no way on earth its a 9/10. Joe smoking some crack this time.

[@Daergarz]

So glad it got the seal of approval, look forward to seeing it when it, uhm, streams.

[@djskinz]

The trailers didn't do this movie justice. It's was lit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheBmb2jn]

I saw this movie with my friend. I thought it was good!!!

[@ezioauditore1300]

I actually think the Megatron turn was executed perfectly. So sudden and so violent. Remember. This guy only wanted to stay in his place because he thought that was what he was meant to do. But then, AT THE SAME TIME, he discovered that Sentinel betrayed him and his race, and he got Powers. He noticed that now he has the power to make a difference. Megatron, in this movie, has THE PERFECT villain arc transition. All that struggle was in there. Inside of him. He just kept it repressed. It always has been. But he always lied to himself, pretending he was ok with it. He was like "Bro, Sentinel Prime is doing all those sacrifices, we must do what ever we can to help him". Why do you think he got the abuses of Darkwing without saying anything? Because he liked it? No. Because he genuinely thought he was doing the right thing. Then he discovered the truth and got offered some Power. Remember his reaction when he saw Sentinel bowing to the Quintessons? He then decided to never bow Sentinel when he got captured. Or do you remember the pain in his voice when he said Sentinel betrayed them, right before he blasted Orion? This is the best version of Megatron, EVER! Thats a perfect villain story origin.

[@pepita2437]

Yeah, agree. And while the movie is not in your face about it, there are some dark implications about how the cogless bots are treated. (like how D-16 said that they deserved being hit by Darkwing because they talked back to a supervisor?) D-16 went trough a lots of suffering, humiliation, an struggle, and he did it because he beleived he was doing the right thing. And then it turned out all that abuse was for nothing. I would be fucking pissed too. XD

[@ezioauditore1300]

@pepita2437 Yes! 100% agree. Like... D16 basically got his brain nuked by all that. And add the power the received, he felt like he could take care of things himself. Perfect character development. Also very tragic

[@Achieme]

36:13 he's getting the primes names down right. Also it's pronounce Quin-te-sons (song but without the G)

[@JoseMolina-jz9hh]

I’m watching the moment go by, and I click the comments, and yours was the first one I see. Well done AJ! This movie kicked as

[@Achieme]

@@JoseMolina-jz9hh LMAO

[@AFMountaineer2000]

I went into this movie with low expectations but came out of it really happy with it

[@0o-0o694]

It's the best Transformers 1 I've ve ever seen. That doesn't say much but yeah.

[@drakesherman6519]
