So this is supposedly a rebooted movie. Why? BB set up a good universe.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
I thought I saw it just wasn't in continuity with the Bay films, which Bumblebee also ultimately wasn't.
Though the movie universe is so contradictory, it's not like it matters. You can say it's in continuity and I doubt any of the plot gaffs would be any worse than what we've gotten.
Yes, even.
Unicron being Earth in TF5 and apparently being not Earth in RotB.
Looking at the box office…I’m not sure enough people saw TF5 to even CARE about those plot issues.
My TLK showing was packed and the audience liked it.
So I guess it was the Titanium of Transformers movies.

I sometimes think that the word 'reboot' is horribly misused in the entertainment industry.
I think nobody knows what a reboot actually means when they say its a reboot or not a reboot, when it comes to this movie and the biggest problem with the Transformers movies has been, there has been no uniformed vision for where the stories go, after the 07 film, everything was pretty much up in the air, I think the writers strike around the time of ROTF didn't help matters and Bay pressed a head and filmed a bunch of stuff and then left it to the writers to put everything together which results in a muddled mess of a film and things just got worse from there onwards and they were just throwing money at Micheal Bay to do whatever the hell he wanted and by the time of the fifth movie, they decide to have a shared universe because of Marvel and attempts to build such a thing up, pretty much falls flat as the Last Knight has a lot of ideas just crammed into one movie, for example, Transformers around the time of King Arthur could of been a nice short film by its self, the Junkyard could of been a comedy/slice of life film of robots hiding out in a scrapyard, while the crouption of Optimus prime would of made for a more intersting character story, see the heroic noble Optimus prime, fall from grace and become a villian, before a remeption arc for his character, where he shown the error of his ways and makes up for his mistakes, instead of just simple brainwashing!
I honestly hope, this film, delivers on the characters and make us care about the Transformers themselves and not spend to much time with the humans, thou I don't know why BB decided to hang out with Sam after the events of the first movie, its not like they been together for more than a couple of days!

I mean, that’s all well and good. I’ve found those entire case assortments even. But…
As you can see, the assortments that I’ve seen only have Prime and Rhinoxes. No Primal.
It seems stores have skipped over the Voyager wave Primal completely?? I really hope I’m wrong.
He really liked Holes.
That, or if he's like me, he liked Mikaela more, and decided to stick around on account of her.
Congrats! You skipped wave 1!I mean, that’s all well and good. I’ve found those entire case assortments even. But…

I'm sure Primal will get cycled out again. There MIGHT be a Scourge in this assortment by the end of the year, but I don't see much more in this assortment.
And maybe, one day, Hasbro will finally offer this dang stuff online.
Maybe stores are skittish about the lack of color on Primal.
*Looks at self* I mean, my work clothes are basically grey shirts and black trousers, but outside of work, I'm pretty colourful...
I… genuinely don’t think regional/general managers of hundreds of retail stores that carry thousands of types of products with hundreds of brands from dozens of different places across the world give that many shits about a single figure in a single wave of a single subline of a single brand of a single type of product.

Has Hasbro even acknowledged this Primal yet?
That makes no real sense, I wish they would be cut and dry and just say that Bumblebee is a full on reboot and Rise of the Beasts is a sequel to that, instead of beating around the bush to try and please a few people, Transformers fans are use to reboots as every couple of years the TV shows reboot and that has been going on since the days of Beast Wars as at first it was a reboot and then became loosely connected to G1
I am looking forward to the day someone comes up with a crazy timeline that makes it all work.
That's gonna take a level of creative tapdancing that not even John Barber could manage.
