Yo, I heard you like nostalgia lines, so we made a supplemental nostalgia line for our nostalgia line.

I'd be very shocked if they tried to tie One into the live action stuff. B-127 is just a cute way of allowing the characters to keep calling him "Bee" even though there's no reason he should be called Bumblebee what with the bumblebee being an terran animal.

The thing I remember most is the terrible, terrible length of the Velocitron arc. It takes so damn long for them to finally get to the race and finish it, and then it turns out it was just a qualifier!

There's two possibilities for cybertronians. Either they know where they come from, in which case there's no mystery, it's just a fact they understand. Or they don't know where they come from, and as such they, being very human like in intelligence, would obviously build belief systems to...

Hey, have we heard who Steve Buscemi is playing in this movie?

though kids movies in the 80s were, like, the Neverending Story, so what the hell do I know.

There aren't really "kids movies" in the classical sense anymore, it feels like, as studios want to pitch the widest possible nets to maximize profits. They're all family movies at this point, so while the description is inaccurate, I understand why people would immediately conflate the two...

Making something intentionally terrible still means you've wound up with something terrible. But beyond that, they could have tried harder than "Badassitron" and still preserved the joke.

The Badassitron joke felt incredibly forced to me.

It is really weird they gave everyone else a different, ealier name but not to Elita-1, who is one of the characters who has an existing name like that!

Young Megatron is weirdly a sticking point for me; it's just weird to have him without some sort of gravitas; even the IDW version that starts off as a lowly miner at least had that idealist chic to him. Here he's just a dude and I know that's the point, but it's just weird to see Megatron...

Pax says "I know we're just lowly worker bots who can't even transform" which implies that 1. Transformation is already a known concept; it's not being invented in this movie 2. That some people can do it and others can't, and given it's attachment to "lowly worker bots" might imply is a...

Also, I just want to say I'm fully aware the original cartoon and comic both had Transformation being something that was invented later in cybertron's history.

I was hoping this would feel a little more unique instead of appearing to be a lost Dreamworks movie, but that's probably just me showing my age. This is just what animated features in 2024 are like I guess. Though I partially blame Earthspark for setting my expectations for modern TF animated...

I never like the idea of Transformers that "predate" Transformation, whether it's the 13 or the upcoming pitch for Transformers One, but that's juts me.

I've been so inured to dumb Transformers movie stuff over the last decade and a half that I didn't realize how terrible a name "Transformers One" was until now. It's the Xbox all over again!

The thing with the GI Joe crossover toys is that they're not just Transformers, but they're also fully Joe vehicles and as such need to be large enough to accommodate the figures. Unlike other crossovers where the hook is just getting a cool pop culture vehicle that is also a Transformer.

Just, please dear god, don't use the Siege leg engineering anymore.

Also if they can properly size it, being able to put other autobots in there is really cool. Same reason the Soundwave toy was awesome, really.
