The Last Knight killed the movie franchise. That movie was a huge mistake. I was a huge fan of the Bayverse movies with AOE being my favorite. But after The Last Knight, even I was thinking "WTF did I just watch?" as I walked out of the theater. I can't even imagine what an average, non-Transformers fan was thinking.

This movie will be a profit eventually, how good it is, it will have a cult following and make money by being on streaming, TV, Blu Ray sales etc over the next 30 years etc. I hope they make more because I guarantee a second makes more money , they might just need to wait 3 years to let people that refused to go see it, see it on streaming or what not but also cut budget from the cast. we dont need all star celeb cast, make the budget 40 million and a second one will make 150 million or more and there you have your big profit.

@@walterlopez5054 I certainly hope Disney doesn't acquire the rights to anything anymore. What they did to Star Wars (which I loved so much, by the way) is downright criminal. I wouldn’t trust those hacks with anything, especially when they not only fucked up Star Wars but are also actively fucking up their own creations, like Snow White.

I feel like they should take Transformers One and make a series. Do some big fights. Do some character development. Create a story you can't forget. OR do what Transformers has never done and make something for Adults. Not just edgy but more Deadpool like. That could work. They do need to delve deep in to video games. I'm hoping thay doesn't mean just remastering old games. Imagine a Transformers game online we're you make your own bot. Join a team lead by a major character. Join either the decepticons or autobots and battle it out online for the fate of the universe. Man let me get a job!!!@Hasbro!

That really sucks. Transformers One was so damn good. It needs to be a trilogy so bad but it looks like that'll never happen at this point. That first trailer made it look like too much of a goofy kid movie. Then I think IGN was one of the first to release a review and they somehow gave it a 5. I think those were the two biggest factors that weighed it down significantly when it released. Dammit man.
@Brandon-McFadden.Күн бұрын
This is a shame I thought Transformers one was great, my guesses for why it didn't do well is the Marketing (bad first trailer), release date (should've been summer) and it being Animation when audiences usually expect live action.

Kind of curious how that little missing link Diaclone guy scales with the modern Diaclone stuff. Could give us more options for drivers for all of the Diaclone related missing link bots
@rmgonzalez232 күн бұрын
It was great movie, but nobody NOBODY is excited to see it. I can't convince anyone, it's like recommending they take medicine. Personally, besides the ads, I think it needed a different art style, something ground breaking like Spider verse. Maybe the best fresh approach is to go full concept sketch Floro Dery. Which is extremely complex overlaid with simple silhouettes and water colors

I want somebody to make a 20 or 50 pack of the original Diaclone drivers. Not the new Diaclone Reboot style but the originals. I used to have a bunch of them. But years ago, I sold them for $1 each. I only kept 1. And now I'm kicking myself because the prices people are charging are insane. I wish a 3rd party company would reproduce them for an affordable price.

Idk but TFO marketing was weak...it didn't build a big hype. I was very reluctant as a G1 fan but I bought in for the next gen ( my 3 kids), which loved the movie. The movie is good. It deserves a sequel. But those high-end actors can go except for Keegan.

I think brand exhaustion has taken hold. Also the previous movies have given people a skewed vision of transformers. Also there's apparently still a bad attitude toward animation/animated movies - that they're considered to be for kids, which is short-sighted, yeah.

I preordered the Steelbook. People need to buy the DVD/Blu-Ray. It's the last chance to send a message. It's ludicrous to me that people don't want to own anything anymore (or that studios don't want to make any money in additional sales by not releasing stuff in the first place.)

I think a lot of the movie franchises, including Transformers is dead. A lot of them were run into the ground by turning off people. I would tell Hasbro to just concentrate on making the toys, but Hasbro lately signaled that they don't even want to do that. I think the holiday sales results will determine what will happen to Hasbro as a company and in what direction they will head.

Hasbro/Paramount certainly did not help TF1 with casting/marketing decisions - they simultaneously spent too much money on stars as voice actors, sent said high priced stars out to do a fair amount of live promotions and then failed to adequately hype the movie through their promotions/trailers. IMO, the release date was also a mistake. But we as a fandom also failed to do our part by showing up to the theaters - I saw the '86 movie & the '07 movie more times in the theater than TF1 (only once) even though TF1 is arguably the better movie. $128 million shows that not only did non-TF fans not go to the movie, but TF fans skipped it as well.
