I really don't care if you like Michael Bay or even like this series.

But I've watched each and everyone and loved watching them again and again.

And as I just discovered about this movie and dinobots I am now :eek: and seriously can't wait.

I don't get how this guy can fuck up these movies so badly, it's like he's trying to make them as poorly as possible. I lost all faith in him when he kept referring to Brawl's character as Devastator and then it somehow MADE IT INTO THE MOVIE! He did it so often they put it into the subtitles.

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071029143555/transformers/images/a/a3/Movie_Brawl_Devastatorsubtitle.jpg

No you fucking loser meatbag, that's not Devastator, that's Brawl.....whom isn't even a part of Devastator, he's a part of Bruticus, that's a totally different combiner.

Seriously, he even had Devastator in the movie, he couldn't keep track of the differences between that and this:

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090504215624/transformers/images/f/f1/Rotf-devastator-film-suckingsands.jpg

Do those even look alike? A tank and a giant sand sucking construction combiner? And now he's fucked up the Dinobots. Grimlock is similar but the other 4 are completely different, he gave Swoop 2 heads.......2 HEADS! But wait, it gets better.....it gets way better than that.......HE CHANGED THE NAME TO STRAFE! Strafe is another completely different Transformer, he changed the name of an existing Transformer to the same name as another already existing Transformer. This is Strafe:

http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071101130217/transformers/images/9/9e/G1Strafe_toy.jpg

Not this:

http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Transformers-4-Strafe-700x425.jpg

I hope he dies in a fire. The original Transformers movie from 1986 had Orson Wells, Leonard Nimoy, Casey Kasem and the Guinness World Record holder for fastest talker. Michael Bay has some fag and a girl that quit because he sucks. It's mind boggling how terrible he is at this. He should just go do Bad Boys 3 already.

I called it! The Strafe toy has hit stores and they got confused between the 2 Transformers with the same name. Toys 'R Us in the USA released an exclusive Strafe figure which is packaged with the Generation 1 figure it is inspired from......Swoop:

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/DSC_0077_zpseylfg4fi_1401007788.jpg

Swoop isn't the actual 1985 figure, it's just a small representation of it which has a very simple transformation. That's fine, but you'd figure the side of the box would contain either:
- an image of the Strafe figure
- an image of the Swoop figure
- an image of the Generation 1 Swoop figure as an homage
WRONG! It's an image of the 1986 Strafe figure which has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS AT ALL! So here's what happened and how I called it before it even happened:

a) make a figure in 1985 named Swoop, he's a Pteronadon dinosaur
b) make a figure in 1986 named Strafe, he's a futuristic jet
c) put Swoop in a movie in 2014 and let some nobody producer come up with names for the characters
d) Change Swoop so much that you can't name him Swoop anymore. Think of another name for him.
e) Name him Strafe without checking to see if that name has already been used for another Transformer from 28 years ago.
f) Make a toy for Strafe and tell your production team you want an image of Strafe on the side of the box.
g) Production team does what any rational person would do and puts an image of the Strafe Transformer on the side of the box.
h) Send the box art to print before realizing you put a completely unrelated toy from 1986 on the side of your box.
i) Sell it anyway. What a dummy.

Ya that's very interesting, same reason they're using Trailcutter on the toys instead of Trailbreaker. And also why they're not reissuing the ToyBox toys (Shockwave, Skylynx). It's very interesting digging into the patents and copyrights on that stuff, and also what happened to the original moulds they used. They released a couple of "Then And Now" toys where they have the 1984 version on one side of the package and the new movie toy on the other side, like Grimlock. Except the 1984 version is some shitty Energon version or something. It turns out someone stole all the Dinobot moulds long ago so they can no longer make them. And others got damaged or worn out like Devastator, Wheeljack and Mirage.

Very interesting reads.

Yep. Lot's of randomly made up characters too. The only new ones I actually know of are Strafe (which is really Swoop), Slug (Slag), Grimlock, Lockdown and Galvatron

It's not Bay.. It's Hasbro. They have the rights of certain names up to a certain period of time. Hasbro lost the rights to the original names because they had gaps of time where they never had a product with that characters name. Also Slag turned out to be a UK slang. They had to change it because TFs are toys sold to kids mostly.. :p

Goof Troop (Mike)

Michael Bay has even said that he makes his movies (like these) for 14 year old boys.

I saw the first two and had to literally turn off the show on the second - it was that bad.

Rotten tomatoes gives the 4th installment the worst rating of the 4.

06-29-2014, 06:27 PM
Saw this at the late showing last night, it was incredibly long. Could have condensed alot of that down to a typical 90 minute movie and still ended up with the same result. Also thought alot of the action was loaded towards the final sequence(which IMO was way too long itself), so much so that I was falling asleep just due to repetition. I mean yes, robots beating each other up with lots of explosions is good and all, but I need a little something in between, not what seemed like a solid hour of non-stop fighting and explosions. Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed all the product placement, I also noticed there were quite a few scenes that seemed to be copied from other movies. It got to the point where I wondered if they were trying to force the audience to laugh or not. Overall, it's a not bad summer blockbuster, just don't expect anything other than explosions at all.

If I go to see a movie about robots fighting robot dinosaurs, I'm going to "rate" it based on how well it delivered on its promise of robot dinosaur action, not on how believable and morally acceptable the sociopolitical landscape it presented was. Oh, no, the director of the CIA in this robot dinosaur movie is evil! Clearly, I should not vote for Obama. Wait, Elysium was about unequal health care coverage for the wealthy! I just don't know who to believe anymore.

I did read the Salon article, it was about as grandiose and overwrought as Bay's movies. Not every movie needs to be an arthouse classic, nor does Bay filming a flick about things that explode somehow make good movies disappear.

Spoiler discussions


- Though Wahlberg is a great actor. I kind of felt he kept the same character from SHOOTER, as if Bob Lee Swagger's daughter grew up and he had to defend her honor/protect her.

- IMO didn't like there wasn't much details in how Wahlberg "fixed" the beaten up Optimus. (a new rad hose, hooked him up on a booster pack?)

- If Optimus have built in jet pack (at the end he blasted off into space)... why does it need a ride from T-rex dinobot back into the city?

- I like the part it was so predictable (but yet kinda unpredictable), the Chinese kid getting groceries in the elevator where he karate chopped the shit outta the government bad guys when they laid hands on the highly combative trained next-gen Lucy Lui KSI executive chick.

- Did anyone catch a PC "joke" (unless I'm just hyper sensitive); where the discussion about the quality of the KSI man-made transformers from China... and a character said something along the lines: "cheap knock-offs" (kinda refers to these man-made mass produced transformers are Made In China/knock-off/cheap/not as good as Autobots)

- As mentioned, awesome vehicle (and I'm sure CGI) designers/team.

- Didn't like the weight reference of the seed... at times it required a few military guys to carry, then just nerdy KSI owner Joshua by himself (or on his back, on the back of the motorcycle), then sometimes Joshua and Wahlberg...
