Optimus Primal was my guy. The "deluxe" figure of him was one of the coolest toys I ever owned. Since they went ahead and got Peter Cullen for Optimus Prime, I'm a little bummed they couldn't get the Beast Wars voice actor.

ya most Beast Wars fans wanted Gary Chalk he was Primal. But hopefully it turns out good.

Looks better than I thought it would be. Thought it was a full-on Beast Wars movie. Glad that it isn't.

And the robot modes do look better with each flick, although after almost 20 years of these movies I can't believe they still haven't gotten it perfect.

So this is or isn't in continuity with everything else? Is it at the very least a follow-up to Bumblebee?

Visually it looks like it should be a sequel to the new continuity by Bumblebee, unless this is a prequel like Bumblebee which sort of reveals that the Transformers were coming and going in their Earthly battle for decades before Bay's first flick.

Not sure how this and Bumblebee would rationalize the Dinobots though. And I never saw "The Last Knight" so although I like continuity these movies have become forgettable 2-hours of escapism for me.

Who even is the director? I notice none of these articles about the movie even so much as mention who it is. I guess it doesn't matter?

I have always enjoyed these flicks but at some point they have all begun to blend in together in my mind's eye.

I wouldn't mind sit through them all again - actually I think there might be two that I haven't seen. Or would I want to sit through them? I dunno. It would've helped if these had some kind of cohesive narrative. Or would it have helped?



The Transformers movies just..... are.

Guess, Bumblebee was a fluke.

The inclusion of THAT character is giving me serious "Out of the Shadows" vibes.

And depending on your point of view, that might not be a good thing.

Like, if they were just going to go with this one ensemble film on from Last Knight, why have Bumblebee reboot from Bay at all?

The inclusion of Unicron means that they are ignoring the continuity of the Bay movies, The Last Knight was setting up Unicron as the Earth, And now we have a Unicron whose approaching the Earth.

This is a sequel to Bumblebee which is a reboot of the franchise.

That's a great point. Because up until now Bumblebee was a canon (messy canon) prequel to the original flicks.

Truth is that the Transformers movies are a continuity and story mess. "Trapped on Earth". Except not. Optimus arrives from space in some strange form in the first movie and because a semi.

Except that he was a semi before in Bumblebee. eh.

TF and TMNT both mostly have bad theatrical movies, but it seems TF is beginning to pull itself out of the gutter.
Can TMNT do the same?
