>"NO OPTIMUS DONT SEND ME TO ROBOT HELL ILL SUCK YOUR DICKKKKKK ILL SUCK YOUR DICKKKKKKK"
>>
>>143369211
Why did he treat Megatron so badly when he wanted to de escalate
>>
>>143369243
Because he was optimus prime of murder

I agree that part was dumb as fuck seeing prime and megs make a truce wouldve been a cooler ending
>>
>>143369211
>optimus kills the doctor who performed transitioning surgery on his friend
what did Bay meant by this?
>>
>>143369211
People bitch about this scene but it was always in-character for Optimus to execute people even when they're harmless and begging for mercy. He might be robot Jesus but he's not naive.
>>
>>143369313
>it was always in-character for Optimus to execute people
>anon references a movie where Optimus threatens to execute Megatron, but doesn't actually do it
>>
>>143369313
Also, the line "Time to find out" and Peter Cullen's delivery of it is one of the coolest things in the franchise.
>>
Cybertronian hell doesn't exist dumbass, now I'm happy Prime killed you
>>
>>143369359
Are you stupid, anon? He was clearly going to do it, and would've done it if Hot Rod hadn't interrupted. Do you really think he was just trying to scare Megatron? After Megatron just viciously murdered all of his friends?
>>

>REMEMBER THE GENEVA CONVENTION OPTIMUS!
>>
>>143369400
>He was clearly going to do it, and would've done it
It wasn't Bayformers, anon. It was a cartoon for children. I just can't see that version of Optimus killing a defeated enemy who's surrendered and is begging for mercy.

>Do you really think he was just trying to scare Megatron?
We'll never know, the cartoon would have been literally not allowed to depict something like that, and I can't share your certainty he'd have gone through with it if Megatron had no gun within reach and really did surrender and beg for his life.

>After Megatron just viciously murdered all of his friends?
Considering the Moonbases only got Blaster's brief message, and Optimus barely spoke to anyone else between arriving on Earth and confronting Megatron, he probably doesn't even know yet how many of his friends already died that day. Poor guy probably got the bad news about Ironhide and the others when he was on his deathbed.

It's because originally they were going to end the movie with a tyce between the two of them. But it was leaked/ might of been in a shown in a comic version of the movie. So this was more or less. "Fuck around and find out" Version
>>
>>143369926
I don't think that's a good analogy. I've always saw the Cybertronian war as more equatable to, like, an ancient or medieval human war where kings personally fought their own wars, dueled each other, and were the strongest soldiers on the battlefield, as opposed to a modern war run by civilian politicians. Basically what I'm saying is that killing Hitler in cold-blood wouldn't be justified, but killing Genghis Khan would be.
>>
>>143369243
>>143369251
lol imagine Optimus explaining to the humans that they were forming a truce after the third major act of war Megatron had been involved in.
Had he not died, Megatron would've been jailed for the events of the 07 movie alone.After what happened in Chicago though? If the trial lasted more than a day it'd be a miracle
>>
>>143370061
t. adolf
getting shot while begging for mercy is a big humilliation. Won't let you go just so you can tell your besties how smart you were at convincing me to let you live.
>>
>>143370105
The truce was a pretty obvious fake-out they sent the adaptations to use because the producers hated the movies getting spoiled. It was never the intended movie ending, they just didn't care the adaptations would be different.
>>
>>143370109
>it's only ok if they use swords
what fucking level of mental gymnastics is this?
>>
>>143370176
If we had captured Hitler, we would've arrested, tried, and executed him. Like Saddam. Can you imagine putting Genghis Khan in a court room and trying him for war crimes? No, that's silly, chop his fucking head off.
>>
>>143370109
>Basically what I'm saying is that killing Hitler in cold-blood wouldn't be justified
Are you fuckin high?
>>
>>143370260
It would've sent a much louder message to the world by trying him and treating him like the criminal he was. It would've been humiliating. Imagine Nuremberg with Hitler as the headliner, it would've been great. The Nazis were all extremely embarrassed by Nuremberg because they were hung like criminals, instead of being shot like soldiers. I find that a much more satisfying fate than simply getting ripped apart by animals like what happened to Mussolini.
>>

Jesus, anon. What did he ever do to you?

>>
>>143370348
>dude... the criminal fled the scene. He was no threat at that point. What's the point in arresting, trying, and executing him?
>>
>>143370373
i don't think you understand. The saddam thing made sense at the moment, he was found in a hole, memes were made, laughs were had.
If he wasn't found he would've went back to his position of power, so killing him made sense again. It was a very specific scenario, not the norm.
What i'm saying is, just kill hittler, fucking moron
>>
>>143370413
Not really. Saddam fled in April and wasn't found until December. So in those five months, Iraq was under a provisional government backed by a foreign military occupation. Germany was in the exact same position after Hitler's death. Saddam never would've had a chance at returning and neither would Hitler.
>>

>>
>>143370490
>Saddam never would've had a chance at returning and neither would Hitler.
that's speculation, we will never know.
>>
>>143370373
We're not talking about "criminals", we're talking about legitimate heads of state during wartime. If losing a war means your country ends up under foreign military occupation, and the head of state, government ministers and military leaders all get put on show trials and executed as the norm then you have a world where in wartime there's no good reason not to fight to the death, because surrender also means death.

No matter how distasteful you find it, it's better as a rule of warfare to treat the defeated enemy leaders like Napoleon than like Saddam, so that future wars have a chance of ending in surrender and not a fight to the last man.

To take things back to Transformers, having a defeated Megatron and Sentinel as prisoners and under pressure to negotiate an end to the war is a better position to be in than having their followers still active and out to avenge them.
>>
>>143370139
>>143370373
>Won't let you go
Who said anything about letting them go, though? As >>143370306 points out, him being tried as a lowly criminal would be the most inglorious end possible, which is way more effective in the long run.
>>
>>143369313
Prime mercing Decepticons isn't that big of a deal, it was always an issue of presentation. Optiumus Prime saying shit like "give me your face" is retarded
>>
>>143369243
Optimus isn't a cop he's a soldier fighting a war of ideologies. Megatron isn't just some random noncombatant he's the head of a cult of might makes right which means he needs to be decapitated.
>>
>>143369606
>I just can't see that version of Optimus killing a defeated enemy who's surrendered and is begging for mercy.
Optimus literally said Megatron had to be stopped "no matter the cost". You don't say shit like that without having the intent to take a life
Plus when Megatron is "begging" for mercy, Optimus basically calls him a bitch
And in the cartoon proper they were both talking shit about how they're gonna destroy the other and typical 80s cartoon shenanigans prevented them from doing so
even in the cartoon, Optimus knew things went too far already

He nuked his hometown, full of civilians.
Ah no wait. That was the US.

He faked an attack extremely far away from the border just to join in the war and killed millions of people, taking many to concentration camps where they were experimented on and stuff.
No wait. Also the US.

Then I guess he's just some jewtard wannabe
>>
>>143369243
Because Megatron already reached the point of no return. By the end of the first film I believe Optimus had some sort of mortality left, willing to sacrifice himself so that Megatron's plan would ultimately fail but that did not go as expected. Then in the second film Optimus was already sick of his shit, especially after the motherfucker killed him and called him weak in his face. When DOTM came he had enough, Optimus was tired of the war and wanted to end all conflict. Letting him go is an even stupider thing to do because at any moment Megs can just come back with a mcguffin or whatever

Optimus Prime shouldn't get bloodlust, that's the point. He's meant to be a steely stoic not a bloodthirsty berserker. Both can kill, it's just a matter of how they do it.
>>
>>143369211

Justice for Ironhide.
>>143369243
Megatron in the second movie snuck up on a injured Optimus and shanked him from behind, calling him weak in a 3v1
>>
>>143370075
Snyder made Superman and Zod's situation extremely contrived. I hate to give Bay credit for nuance, but he absolutely was more nuanced than Snyder was here. There just HAPPENED to be an innocent family around once Supes got a hold of Zod, and it just HAPPENED to be right in front so Zod could use his laser vision without turning his head. There might as well have been an orphan girl and a box of puppies in his line of sight, too.

DOTM's ending feels more natural because we've had three movies now of Optimus deciding that sometimes you have to just end it. We KNOW Megatron can't be trusted. We just SAW Sentinel murder Ironhide and then almost murder Optimus himself. Neither of them can be trusted and both of them are arguably permanent threats. You find yourself understanding that Optimus wants to kill them both. The only reason it all became a meme is that it actually is kind of funny that Optimus does Sentinel execution-style. Also a bit of a lingering aftertaste from >>143370731 at the end of ROTF.
>>
>>143371298
Sure, as bad as Bay is he's not nearly as much of a retard as Snyder is. Snyder is a pretentious retard which is always worse.

G1 Megatron was definitely always a pathetic coward. But modern Transformers fans are used to his Animated and Aligned incarnations, who have more integrity.

I see the Autobots as more like medieval knights than modern soldiers. When the English slaughtered 2000 unarmed French prisoners at Agincourt, the term “war crime” wasn’t even in their lexicon. It’s just what you do.

From the time that Optimus picked up the rifle, Kup calling for him to finish him off, Prime still tried to take the high road by standing there from 21:34 in the movie to 21:56 just aiming at him. He had TWENTY FUCKING SECONDS to reduce Megatron to scrap, and people still want to blame Hot Rod.

Good. Optimus had over a million years to stop a war and never did. Hot Rod stopped it in one movie, the same movie where he killed a god and was the only transformer smart enough to realize the matrix had finger holes.

Watch the scene again. Megatron doesn't want to deescalate, he "wants to be in charge again", his own words. Immediately after he just teleported a planet to capture a world's worth of slaves.

Bayverse Optimus went through some supreme shit and that was all before the 2007 movie even happened, and he only really lost it when he got a blade shoved through his chest and for what he knew the last things he saw was basically everything he fought for going to hell. The movies may not be that great narratively but its not like Optimus was never willing before to end those who couldn’t be reasoned with at all, such as in >>143369313. For all Optimus knew Megatron was just trying to buy time after being more than willing to kill Optimus and others at every single opportunity before, and you’d have to be an actual retard to think his appeal to a truce was genuine by that point.

i never liked how inconsistent the transformers cast for these movies were. i can live with them being mindless action flicks but come on autobots literally appear and disappear between movies. anyone remember jolt being there for like 5 seconds?
>>
>>143378264
Jolt wasn't a change of cast between movies, he was a result of a writer's strike within one movie.
The rest is explained: new Transformers are regularly arriving on Earth, heeding the call of their leaders. Others get killed or move somewhere else.

>>143373404
Are we talking about the same Bayformers movie where the Decepticons were clearly taking defeated Autobots as prisoners until their human ally managed to convince them to execute not-Wheeljack?

Bumblebee also has wastly different designs from the previous movies (and yes, the guys behind the scenes still say they are connected, even RotB writer mentions writing Optimus in mind as how he would become 2007 Optimus).

>Transformers fans get to have live action and animated content coexist together with ONE serving as a baseline for the beginning of a trilogy
>Meanwhile Sonicfags get hit with the ugly HOP and will mostly be stuck doing live action slop for entire decade+
Man was this how Transformers fans felt when their movies got like this? Well despite me never watching them I argue Bayformers isn't the worst thing in the world especially as opposed to the shit us Sonic fans are getting are. At least Optimus getting to keep his personality for the most part.

transformers in the baymovies arent characters (besides OP, bumblbee, and megatron i guess). they're just glorified set pieces that no one gave a shit about.
>>
It's very funny to realize Transformers is one the few/only childhood IP I can think of that casually allows on scenes deaths and brutal fights to the deaths by virtue of the enemies and heroes being robots. I wouldn't be surprised if the ONE trilogy ends becoming darker as the movies go on.
>>
>>143378955
As weird as it sounds at least the 2007 movie seems to be the eventual future for the Bumblebee onwards movies.
Yes, it's weird, but Hasbro also gave us the Aligned Continuity and that also doesn't really fit together as intended.
>>
>>143379296
Anon, BB/RotB directly contradicts 2007.
>>
>>143379130
Fans loved the bayformer movies at first because they were visually stunning, even if you couldn't focus on anything, it's peak live action kino. The issue was that by the third one, the spectacle wore off and the story/writing /characters were as substantial as a used paper napkin

the issue with the Sonic movies is they don't have the same spectacle and need to rely on the character writing way more
>>
>>143379521
The Bay movies were always a bit more controversial in the fanbase.
And that's not even counting the people who fell out after the 80's and came back in once the Hollywood hype machine kicked in.
>>
>>143379425
ROTF and DOTM contradict 07. That's just how the franchise is. It;s the product of coked out old school producers from the days where James bond could go from a 60 year old to a 28 year old and you weren't supposed to question it.
>>
>>143379521
>Need to rely on the character writing way more
More like they rely on shitty human characters that no one gives a shit about. That new Knuckles show doesn't really him as the main focus compared to Wade and he supposedly shares less or about half the screen time in his own show. The live action Transformers designs always feel like black magic to me due to how majestic they are and how cool they seamlessly transform from their quadrupedal to bipedal designs and vice versa. Even the opening act of Bumblebee look like the best cgi I've seen from Hollywood in years and this came out in 2018

>ROTF and DOTM contradict 07.
Explain your statement.
>>
>>143379672
The Beeverse movies ACTIVELY contradict the Bayverse movies. The plot of RotB completely invalidates TLK, for example.
>>
>>143379673
>Even the opening act of Bumblebee look like the best cgi I've seen from Hollywood in years and this came out in 2018
I was a budget scene, too, most of the bots use reused model parts(so shockwave's model even has an Autobot symbol on it's arm)
What makes it work is that it's entirely CGI and doesn't need to mesh with live action. None of the tells of bad cgi in live action like mismatched lighting are thee because the entire scene is cgi
>>
>>143379673
yeah, Bumblebee is awesome. hoping TF:ONE can deliver the same feel
>>
>>143379786
It seems that most writers for the movieverse just kinda prefer to ignore most of the post-DotM stuff.
>>
>>143379761
>>143379786
The plot of all 4 sequels to 07 is the same- Transformers were here..before! These are barely addressed in the next movie.
Megatron being frozen on Earth barely works with Sentinel and his crew being on the moon. And where does the Fallen factor in? Also the decepticons were apparently active on Earth for decades and had ties with humans infiltrating the government- yet were seemingly never aware of Megatron being on Earth the entire time.
I'm sure the comics found ways to make it all work, but none of these things were a consideration making the damn movies.
>>
>>143379894
Well, yeah, they should be. Bumblebee was a reboot.
>>143380008

>>143380132
>It's explained in the comics
Anon, like I said, I'm sure it's got plenty of other media trying to smooth things over. That doesn't change that from what the movies themselves present, it's a mess.

>applying human war conventions to an alien war
the japs thought it was perfectly ok to torture and kill surrendering soldiers for being weak
>>
>>143380176
This reminds me of how you have people actually believing the damage control spin doctoring that "Uh, actually Mudflap and Skids are making fun of WHITE kids pretending to be BLACK!" but in the actual movie that most everyone will have seen, they're just depicted as stupid robots with stupid black people voices, gold teeth and big lips.

And all because they just want to justify buying new toys of them.
>>
>>143380595
I never thought they were supposed to be "black", I always thought they were supposed to be rednecks. Those were redneck voices.
>>
>>143380412
Why were japs so hateful of the idea of surrender anyways?
>>
>>143369313
Why didn’t Optimus just rape megatron?

That reminds me of this chick in highschool i had a crush on who was heavily into transformers yaoi of like megatron ass fucking starscream

This dude said, on record, that he LITERALLY don't understand what a reboot is. And he works in the film industry.
>>
>>143383440
The title of reboots in Hollywood is a relatively new thing. It was more of a thing in fandom circles. Even in the 2000's when Batman begins and Casino Royale came out, all the press releases didn't call them "reboots". From an old Hollywood guy like Lorenzo, he sees reboots as basically a new set of producers coming in and starting new, like the Marvel or DC reboots. An admission that the old ones failed or ended and had to start fresh. As a point of pride he'll refuse to call them a reboot because he wants to associate himself with the same franchise for 15+ years.

This is how you do Optimus killing Decepticons, coldly clinical and with a logical justification.
