I guess that makes sense too, as we can get lulled into bad habits when things are good -- including the tendency to avoid anything that could threaten that. I was reacting like you too upon noticing that Chekhov's gun of burying and jettisoning potentially rough memories: with a bit of "this...

And 80s kids still blame Hot Rod.

I'm not sure it was even that. It's an unintentionally (competed to Soundwave's) common voice from a damaged voice box, that's enough to get a "wow that guy sounds weird". Working it into the movie was a nice touch, especially since it added to the Megs/Starscream lore and the choking was a...

And he's blasting off to his home planet. His people need him.

I'm fine with the Darkwing thing being on Sentinel's orders. While, yes, henchmen acting on their own accord happens, this streamlines the narrative and gives D-16 another reason to feel betrayed by his idol (which we were shown him feeling anyway). Sentinel had already gotten the benefit of...

Well then maybe don't brag about pirating it?

I've always liked that. Ties in with the "strong" fighting leader bit not being his core. I also like how in IDW it's Megatron who sparks something in Op; Optimus being dragged away from the Senate shouting the three questions is a very memorable scene. But i dig the dynamic here too that...

I was also curious, as I haven't followed the new comics and only got snippets of this (and double-bird salute Cliffjumper) as memes.

I like the IDW situation where they drift together due to circumstances and are each informed by different backgrounds, but can both see the need for change. I don't mind Zeta being one of the 13. But let's not keep doing "Prima Prime".

Like, forget the Mistress of Flame's staff, THAT'S real donk right there.

Biiiiiiig mothafkin riiiiiiiiiigs

I'm totally fine with the Bay movies feeling as distinct from any of those as they feel from each other (Unicron Trilogy, in retrospect, was the perfect bridge away from G1 to a space where even newer and more different possibilities are just as valid). They were just by and large terribly...

I do see your point. It would have been nice to get something bigger that was fresh or new. Each new piece of media adds something to what's come before, and that something is what I've come to look for (indeed, it's been a salve for the lack of quality at times). And i guess there IS some, in...

I really would like to see an Overload in those colors.

KOs like these were all over the place at the time, iirc, and so Sky Garry is always behind the 8-ball for me. It took a while before I began associating the design with Transformers at all. While he looks great in robot mode (this is one of those that was clearly designed as a flourish-loaded...

The Variety article I saw the China opening news in clocked TF One as making $5 million -$8 million in China over the week. I agree that the film industry as a whole is still struggling in this new post-pandemic climate. The concerns for infection are firmly in the rear-view mirror in most...

It's the great pumpkin: Optimus Prime

It seems to be doing okay in China (was released last week, outdid a bunch of other movies including The Wild Robot), and will hold some screens through this holiday weekend. I think it follows the trend of being the lowest debut for a Transformers film though.

I think I've seen this on some website, yeah. What was it? "Wrecked"? On that note, yikes, I've never seen those Siege barrels look so phallic. This head-on (ahem) view really recontextualizes those nubs on either side...

I could have done with seeing a BM Skydive based Wingfinger and maybe a clear green one before losing these. And I wish we'd gotten more Modulator molds (not just redecos of the same), but since they ditched Micromasters, I guess that's not likely.
