Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

[Undead Scottsman]

Its why i get mad when people shriek REBOOT. All it takes is one decently constructed movie and its fine. Its one of the highest grossing franchises of all time, I'd hate to "lose" that history.

Also, time travel shenanigans can "easily" explain all the wonkiness that's in the last knight and the inconsistencies between movies. The timeline is in flux, yadda yadda, AND (if they wanted) we could come out of it with a new "universe" like Abram's first star trek movie.

Its not impossible, they just have to *want* to do it.

So if anybody is reading this...

The problem is those movies started off not great and got progressively worse as time went on. And that's just from the perspective of their quality as films and not even getting into the gross garbage that Michael Bay shoehorns into his flicks.

I'd rather they leave that stuff in the past.

We've had Unicron plots that make a lot less sense than that.

I want this to happen now. Tie it all together. Go full bonkers.

....No.

I mean you can keep it all and start again ala Abrams Star Trek. Link it together in a large loop where it both matters and does it. Wiping out six movies is a wild thing, especially when its a franchise most people have experienced.

At worst, they could just wipe out TLK and keep the rest. Bumblebee certainly seemed to be doing exactly that.

And if that turns out to be the case, I say good riddance to nixing the movie that thought it was a good idea to put Nazi banners on Winston Churchill's estate.

I just don't have enough faith in this maybe-rebootverse ever being truly good. So I'm not worried about ruining it by connecting it to the Bayverse.

Trans Formers 5 The Last Knight had shown Unicron and now we may possibly see him in the next movie.

Took 3 movies for this to come up.

Isn't having history changed in-universe closer to "wiping out" the old timeline than a completely unconnected reboot would be?

I mean, Armada didn't "wipe out" G1, but when DC does a Crisis event they do say the old timelines are no longer canon and literally don't physically exist in their current multiverse.

That maybe true, but we knew it would be a brand new timeline going in, with the movies, they been giving us mixed messages in regards to Rise of the Beasts & BB being a full on reboot or prequel to the Bay films and if anything, I would say that hurts the movie

Maybe cuz he's actually Albert Einstein instead of Christopher Lloyd.

Oh, I was going by this...

The early concept certainly looked Doc Brown-ish, and Brown was loosely based in part on Einstein, so I dunno.

The only thing about the movies is where the heck is RC? We see her tons in the episodes but on the big screen forget it.

6 movies and she hasn't shown up in any of them.

Why only bring her in now?

Also have we seen Star Scream?

On a side note. I was watching 'The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show'. It was a show from the Seventies with Peter Cullen in it. There was a sketch involving a gorilla and Peter Cullen was in the sketch. All I could think is this won't be the last time he'll be acting alongside a gorilla.

She was actually in Revenge of the Fallen (she was one of the three bike bots.. or all three bike bots depending on who you ask.) Because it's a Bay movie, she's given no characterization and just exist to look cool for 30 second and then get killed.

She was also at the beginning of Bumblebee where her job is to remind people of G1 Arcee.

I seriously thought Wentwood was being ironic or something, the more I read.

The Disastrous New ‘Transformers’ Will Make You Beg for Michael Bay’s Return

We didn’t know how good we had it when the maestro of cacophonous pandemonium, outlandish set pieces, and things-that-go-boom was at the helm, until this ho-hum drag of a sequel.

i lost brain cells from how goddamned stupid this review is

 

[MrBlud]

Holy jive, you weren’t kidding.

IT’S BAD

 

[Sabrblade]

I couldn't even get through the article.

 

[wentwood]

The 1st 5 movies connected and have a smooth flow so each can be split into 5 parts for 25 episodes and run as a series.

The same can be said for Rise Of The Beasts and the next two movies.

Read the article and whoever wrote it, while makes a couple of vaid points, but on the other hand, it feels like its written by someone who has only seen the 86 movie and not seen anything else related to TF, thou one thing in that strikes a cord, it talks about the Mcguffin of the movie and says its a magical device, despite the fact the movie says that its techonlgy, thou to them, it might as well be magic and the Transformers gods desended from heaven!
