In a nutshell, Steven Caple Jr. basically breaks it down how literally no one in charge of making these movies cares about making any kind of coherent continuity between films, all deeming continuity a non-priority.

And that is the problem, without a story to bridge the films, they'll loose audiences, just look at Marvel & DC films, with Marvel, once End Game happened, everything story wise, fell apart and people just decided they had enough, while DC couldn't even keep their story straight due to excutives messing around and the worse case from what I am aware of, is the Flash, it went through the ringer of devlopment hell including three regime changes! If they can just plan out a basic story and keep to that story, they can bring in people, that how the MCU worked so well until after End Game, they had a basic idea of where they were going, but afterwards, they didn't, the Star Wars sequel trilogy, that should of had a plan, but in their rush to make money, they never planned a dam thing and let the directors do whatever the hell they wanted and the results are lower box office takes with each film in the trilogy, thus it shows the importance of having a basic plan for your story!

It looks just like the ship Scourge used to land on the planet of the beasts at the very beginning. Don't know that anything was done of it or made of it, but that's what it looked like to me.
So, basically, one could say that the Joes took possession of the Terrorcons' ship after they arrived on Earth.

If it wasn't the Terrorcons' ship, I would read it as advanced technology based on tech salvaged from the Terrorcons and/or Cybertronians in general. The Joes clearly know they are up against technology beyond normal human devising, and have to be preparing for an eventual confrontation.

I did not assume that it had any significance beyond Clearly Not A Normal Earth Thing, Therefore These People Deal With That Kind Of Stuff.

This is what I figured. "wtf is that? Oh, a weird spacecraft thing, quick way to push their scope beyond stock military stuff."

I thought so too, until user Rhinox up there pointed out the ship's resemblance to the Terrorcons' ship.

The Decepticons had a ship crashed on a moon of Saturn in Dark of the Moon implying they land or crash in....
what the hell happened to that ship? come on, this is exactly what we're bitching about.

Update. After a surprisingly decent weekend we've finally crossed $150 million domestic. ROTB was #7 for the weekend, actually up a rank from last week.

For this week's comparison, let's look at Ruby Gillman. It debuted in 3,400 theaters. This was its third weekend. It's down to 1,761 theaters and was 12th on the leader board. ROTB debuted in 3,678 theaters. This was its sixth weekend. It's down to 2,041 theaters and was 7th on the leader board.

ROTB may be a disappointment but theaters are still happily holding onto it while giving newer films the boot.

Terrorcins had a ship? I thought they meteored there way onto Earth like the Autobots in the first movie.
They arrived on the Maximal homeworld aboard a ship at the beginning of the movie.

Has this video been posted yet?

My order of this toy being delivered shortly (2 hours to wait at time of writing).


I'm looking more forward to the clear red Cheetor weaponiser tbh...

Some…minor weirdness from Hasbro’s SDCC product display (that I could see, it seems to have been…OVERLOOKED by many sites).

The placard for Core Voyager Rhinox lists a release date of October. Yet Walmart is LOADED with him at the moment.

Placards for the Core Deluxe figures say…Available now?! Umm…there is ZERO information about the domestic release of Core Deluxe, so I’m curious if Hasbro will address that.

And again, is it lighting, or does Core Voyager Primal look like he has darker base plastic than the version released earlier this summer?

Some interesting metrics from BOM from yesterday.
Transformers lost some 1200 locations this weekend, likely due to the massive dual roll outs from Oppenheimer and Barbie. Currently playing in 834 locations, the most interesting thing I saw was that, despite the MASSIVE drop in locations, the per-theatre average is only $100 less ($372) than last Friday ($471).

So, I kind of read that as Transformers was maintaining a steady, if declining, viewership and the drop off in locations was more due to the impact of newer films, not a lack of performance on Transformers’ part.

Regardless, the film WILL pass $155 million this weekend, with the slim possibility of crawling past $160 million by the end of the summer.

yeah, ROTB has some serious legs on it.

That's good, the Sound of Freedom Movie is doing very well and that just got Armeica cinemas only and its making bank, despite mainstream Hollywood attempt at burying it, so its showing that people are hungry for good entertaining films these days and word of mouth is key to a movie sucess!
