Keep in mind that the box office just isn't what it used to be. Post-COVID, the US market has constricted considerably and Chinese audiences aren't the payday they once were. It just hasn't really recovered yet, if it ever will. Movies grossing over a billion worldwide: 2015: 5 2016: 4 2017...

That's the noise I'm talking about though. None of those scenes you mentioned are really that better or worse than what happens in RotB, IMO. I don't see the "energy" you're talking about that's absent from RotB. I feel like we just saw them first and more often, so they stick in the mind...

You see, I don't actually think that's the case; we're just innoculated to his bs now. Like, because I'm an idiot, I'll rewatch those older films from time to time. (I also will rewatch Prime Wars and War for Cybertron, like I said, I'm an idiot) and I really don't think those films have any...

Aside from Rescue Bots, from what I understand.

True, I meant to imply that but rereading my post I can see I really didn't.

The thing that gets me is, like.. Rise of the Beasts was already a return to the Bay formula.. it had the same repetitive plot, the same radical redesigns of characters (my poor boy Wheeljack), the same ignoring all but a handful of the transformers as actual characters. It was a Bay film...

Yeah, but that's how a lot of films are made. The question is whether or not Paramount thinks (regardless of whether it's true or not) that hiring Bay will tap into enough nostalgia for those first films to be worth funding a new one.

A pair of rumors for upcoming Live Action films hit, so I figured we should start a new thread about future movies now that Transformers One sounds like a dead end. (Pour one out for a real one!) First, to be filed under "my own personal hell," Michael Bay is rumored to be coming back to...

Yeah, I was looking forward to a tiny Wheeljack and seeing what changes to Arcee's design such a tiny figure would necesitate.

I can't read the original article, and the article I did find doesn't mention where the 3% cuts were targeted towards.

There's a listing for a Generation Selects "Combiner" set and given they said they aren't doing a Devastator boxset anytime soon (and i think Superion as well) so I think there's a good chance it's Monstructor.

I believe I saw someone elsewhere mention that he's sold out on Pulse and Amazon. Still up at BBTS and Entertainment Earth.

Megatron's legs looked mostly fine here, but I'm gonna (try) to grab him off of BBTS so I can pile of loot him and then cancel if reviews have his legs being as blue as they've looked. Also it appears we've had a price increase on Leaders to $60.

I got #708ca4 off of photoshop's eye dropper in that image. https://www.color-hex.com/color/708ca4

Seeing more pics of SS '86 Megatron and I may just wait until reviews so we get a better idea of how blue his legs are, because they look so blue in these images that they should be in an Eiffel 65 song. Source...
