Well, in the flashback shown in "Call of the Primitives", when we see Unicron rebel against his creators, we see an object that very much looks like the Matrix rising out of the destroyed body of Primacron's assistant (referred to by the episode's dialogue script as "Oracle"). Nothing has ever...

Smoochy smoochy.

Funny thing about Galaxy Shuttle, when he was first introduced in the Victory cartoon, he was accompanied by an onscreen name caption that referred to him by a different name: "Shuttle Robo". And yet, he was only ever referred to as "Galaxy Shuttle", verbally.

The animation budget was generously higher than anything Toei had ever animated at the time. The opening scene of Lithone being destroyed is unparalleled. The movie has a lot of issues, but its animation is not one of them.

Well, yeah, he'd have to be yellow and black to match the character's recognizable iconic color scheme anyway. ;)

There's also some legal bureaucracy surrounding the notion of naming a bumblebee toy "Bumblebee". It's something like, if they were to do that, the name wouldn't pass legal due to it being more of a descriptor than a proper name since it would just be calling the insect by what it is. My...

DO NOT... go in there!

"The Bonaventura Cut" sounds more like an action that a lot of fans wish Paramount would do to these movies. :p

AOE did that first, ending with Optimus taking the Seed into space and him sending a warning message to the Creators, declaring that he's coming for them. That, plus Optimus and the Dinobots being knights whom the Creators sent Lockdown to capture, were set up to be explored further in the next...

That argument would be more applicable if their names were instead just "Cheetah", "Rhinoceros", "Velociraptor", and "Spider". Unlike "Hot Rod", those GoBots-sounding Beast Wars names at least modified the base words to sound something like sci-fi robot names instead of just being "the thing the...

This is why I feel they should have used the hacker subplot to better set up Sector Seven, as the actual introductory scene for them with the vans pulling up to Sam's house and Simmons going "We're the government! Sector Seven!" just felt really rushed and forced in out of nowhere. When Maggie...

And then Animated invented "Oh, for spark's sake!"

Which, compared to "Hot Rod", are all still more abstract names than that of the guy literally named after his altmode. It's along the same lines of thinking that could have led to the previous Autobot leader being named "Big Rig" instead of "Optimus Prime". Can you imagine if that had been...

I feel like the name "Rodimus" is systemic of the fact that the guy was named "Hot Rod", which actually goes back to the "Poochie" analogy. Think about it. It's the 1980s. Hasbro wants to replace Optimus Prime with a new younger hero that they're sure will appeal to kids of that era. They make...

Could have been worse. Could have been... .

All this talk about which of the movies are better than the others feels very timely since TJ just made a video asking the question "Is TF One really the best movie?":

"Joke's on you, kid! I'm secretly Shattered Glass Tracks!"
