Thanks! One day I'll really unbox everything and take pictures to catalog everything.
I got about 80% of all G1 (the original season 1 G1's costs $$$ and are harder to get)
Got all of G2 stuff
Got all of Beast Wars
Got all of Beast Machines
Got all of Machine Wars
Got all of Robots In Disguise
Got most of Armada
Got some of Energon
Got some of Cybertron
Got all of Animated
Got all of the released Masterpieces and Takara re-issues and some of the rare Japanese TFs
Good notice! Because for the first time they actually got the actual voice of Megatron-Frank Welker-to do Galvatron.
You can catch it on cable or Netflix fam, it's not THAT bad. At least then you can pause and stop and comeback as much as you want. I thought "Amazing Spider Man 2" was worse than this.
I liked the first one.
That's why I'm honestly not mad about Unicron not showing up. I'd rather not have him than be fucked up
I liked the first one.
Didn't like the second one.
The third mostly made up for the second one.
To me, this fourth one is the second best one.
Thing about this movie is that they have 2 storylines going that could have been standalone stories. Lockdown really could have carried a movie by himself. If they had him and a group of bounty hunters with him that could have been a film to itself. The story of humans hunting Transformers could have been a film all to itself also. Kelsey Grammer was actually good a human villain. The rebuilding of Megatron as Galvatron by humans reminded me of Transformers Animated when Dr. Sumdac helped rebuild Megatron. He used his head and reverse engineered a lot of technology which helped build his company.
Truth be told, I'm actually AFRAID of how Unicron will turn out on the big screen. Galactus is not Unicron's size and they turned him into a big ass galactic storm cloud, just think what Unicron will be...a space station or some shit.
almost handed megatron ass to him
Unfortunately Orson Welles (the voice of Unicron) is dead. Transformers: The Movie was the last film he did, and he died almost a year before it's release in 1986.Man im actually excited because with all this CGI i think they need to leave Unicron just like he appears on the cartoons they can make him a planet easily. If done right they can restore my faith in the shit.
Oh and they definitely would have to get the dude from the 1986 movie to do unicron voice i will have it no other way. His voice was the best besides soundwave
I haven't seen the new movie but my problem with humans hunting transformers is the fact that transformers was never about HUMANS!!!!
Another thing i would love to see that will get me back into the franchise is more combiner bots
Devestator (redo)
Bruticus
Defensor
Superion
Computron
Predaking
Abomonus
Menasor
The make a good predaking and im sold he was my favorite combiner bot and in the comics he almost..........
My favorite group was the Stunticons
When these films come up,
I always feel I have to preface my posts with the fact that I was never a "TRANSFORMERS" fan. That 80s cartoon was way too silly for me. I still can't understand why some people treat the shit like it was some Emmy-Awarding winning, game-changing 80s show.
But I do have a fondness for "BEAST WARS". That show was extremely well written. And the characters had a lot at stake. Which made them involving.
That said...
I really enjoyed this latest film.
Just as much as the last one (which I saw twice).
If anything, Michael Bay is one of the most technically proficient directors out there. Regardless of story, Dude is always on his game.
Other than Bay's use of interesting great camera angles, I love the fact that with the robot battles, they take place during the day. One of the major complaints about films like "PACIFIC RIM", "GODZILLA", etc is that fights are in night shots, which makes it easier for SFX teams because not much has to be shown and it some cases, it's less complicated to produce.
Bay takes a lot of chances with productions like this. And with his clout, you know he doesn't give a shit and he's going to get what he wants.
And Dude has great pacing too. Film didn't even feel like (almost) 3 hours. It went by fast to me.
And MY DUDE...TITUS WELLIVER...
When is someone going to give this Cat an action series already???
Titus Welliver has a show coming out on Amazon. The pilot has been out for a couple months.
This shit is at 16% at rotten tomatoes
Bruh...
Most of the whining in this thread is coming from "TRANSFORMERS" fans.
And most of these films today are nothing but "CGI Animator's Demo Reels".
But let's be real...
If you're looking for a "real, engaging story" about Giant Fighting Robots, then stick with Anime/Mecha. That media has all the time in the world to develop and tell those type of stories.
Like the original "TRANSFORMERS" cartoon had "real, engaging stories"
I took it for what it was.
And enjoyed it.
i really dont feel like breaking this all the way down but if you know anything about transformers and the backstory you would probably expect more from these movies as well.
That's critic reviews. I never go by critic reviews. I remember them slamming "Blade" when it first came out and I think they have it "Rotten" too (though not as low as TF4). I look at the audience rating part, since those are the normal people paying for tickets to the films. So far the audience is at "like it" at 60%.This shit is at 16% at rotten tomatoes
Fam it's not really fair bringing up Terminator 2. Terminator 2 is one of my all time favorite films. James Cameron, one of my favorite directors. I saw Terminator 2 four times at the movies when I was 12 (in 1991). Recorded it on VHS off of cable back then (and that was back when it took forever for a film to come on cable channels), bought the VHS, bought the DVD, and got the Blu Ray.

I put Terminator 2 over the often over-inflated "The Dark Knight" and many, many others.
