Alpha Trion looks cool!
Starscream and Megatron are both reuses from the Authentics line.Mega Changers- Titan Changers (bleh). Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are new and reflect the film's designs. Megatron is a rerun from last year, and while Starscream looks new...like Megatron, he looks like a basic G1/modern version, not reflective of the new film.
I knew about Megatron, but I don't recall seeing that Starscream (not that I'm actively seeking out that line). Again, doesn't surprise me, though at least Hasbro's MSRP is cheaper than it was last year (assuming retailers follow that pricing).Starscream and Megatron are both reuses from the Authentics line.

Exodus did that first back in 2010.I'll admit, having the characters' names being numbers kind of bothered me...until I realized they were referencing the Japanese ID Numbers. Megatron was literally D-16, WAY back in the day. It's such a deep cut that I thought they were being lazy with their "robot names" for a second.
In the G1 cartoon, the art of transformation was first invented by the Autobots during their first war with the Decepticons long after the Quints had been kicked off the planet, so transformation being a later invention isn't a new idea.The Transformers not having transformation cogs until Alpha Trion gives them to the characters is going to take some getting used to. I guess the idea is probably that the Quintessons removed everyone's T-cogs when they took over the planet?
Yeah, but we never actually SEE that in detail. I feel like this will probably be the first time the idea is actually explored for any length of time. Which is kind of neat, even if it's odd to be happening so late in the timeline. But, also, it's going to be a little awkward getting T-cogs to EVERYONE on the planet. I suppose that might end up being a plot point later in the movie. Or maybe the very end of the movie will have T-cogs erupting from the center of the planet all over the place. Like a oasis springing from the desert.In the G1 cartoon, the art of transformation was first invented by the Autobots during their first war with the Decepticons long after the Quints had been kicked off the planet, so transformation being a later invention isn't a new idea.
I get that feeling. I was left quite "meh" after seeing the trailer (and my interest in toys feels more "analytical" than stuff I'm feeling compelled to buy).Ok I formed my thoughts on TF1
I hope it works for Hasbro and co I really do and I will see it. I wont however bust my ass to see it in a theater thats the real rub of it there.
Its not a film I can drag casuals to and see in a theater and its not one my casuals would see anyway.
This is a film Ill buy and watch at home and it was not what I was expecting ether.
I was hoping for an extended version of the opening of Bumblebee Now that was something to see in theaters
And the toy leaks do nothing for me ether.
I dont want this to come off a negative but it kinda is but I wont attack the movie or merch ether and say asswholeish things for hot takes and clout like I have see others do elsewhere at this point im simply indifferent and just kinda whelmed

Or in the 6:00 a.m. dead slot of a major cable channel.Imagine if this ends up being good. It looks like it aims to be kid friendly, and it's not hidden away on a premium channel or streaming service. Transformers doesn't get that very often anymore.
I wouldn't call ROTF a movie that tried to be serious.After all of the previous movies tried so hard to be serious that it became impossible to take them at all seriously, I'm more interested in one that tries to actually be fun.
I just want to see one of them, once they figure transforming out, say "I am Transformed" after returning to robot mode.
