are transformers movies bad or do i just not like them?

1986 - watched for the first time, bad but cool animation
one - watched last week, bad
bay movies - bad
bumblebee - fine, iron giant's better
>>
>>150141226
>bay movies - bad
the first and third were actually good. The second one was bad for sure, but was also very hilarious, though it had a lot of entertaining moments. Fourth and fifth ones were just bad
>>
>>150141226
It's all nostalgia. The only Transformers things worth looking at that aren't comics are Beast Wars and Armada. I never saw animated or prime. Sadly Beast Wars and Armada don't have Soundwave, so I dock points.
>>
>>150141226
The 86 movie is bad ass, as long as you put your sense out the door and push the volume to the max.

Live action movies were all 99% garbage. The remaining 1% was Megan Fox's ass.
>>
>>150141424
beast wars is the only media i can say i loved, it's a shame that the beast machines creator said he completely disregarded anything about the characters in order to tell the story he wanted to tell
>>
>>150141424
Animated mogs all, yes even Beast Wars
>>
>>150141264
They're only good in that most modern action movies are trash. In comparison to better action movies they're awful, and not worth talking if not for the special effects.

>>150141957
Beast Wars looks(visually) fucking awful, I don't really wanna saw old 90's CG and transformers that aren't vehicles
I'm sure it's good beyond that, but still
>>
>>150143899
>I don't really wanna saw old 90's CG
I don't really wanna saw fucking ESLs on my image board, but here we are.
>>
I'm gonna watch the 1986 one just because the animation looks incredible
Then I'm gonna watch Animated because that's the one I remember being on TV but I thought it looked too weird and goofy, but I am turning around on it
I have no idea about Transformers media after that, it feels like a weird overly complicated franchise despite sounding very simple and repetitive
>>
>>150143944
I don't really like the influx of faggy cocksuckers crying out in pain over simple fucking grammar mistakes on rushed posts on a Tibetan yak herding forum, but you faggots never shut the fuck up

you should watch prime because arcee is sexo

If you don't know the term "grammar nazi" nor how old it is, then you are a part of a recent influx yourself, newfag.
>simple mistakes
The only thing that is simple is you.

knock out........................

why do these bots have to say goodbyes when they can just space bridge back to earth and visit these guys again when they want to take a break from reconstruction work or something
>>
>>150144951
how's prime 3 seasons in?
>>
>>150144591
Influx, whatever. You're very aware that grammar nazi is an insult, so this shit was justifiably mocked for ages
>The only thing that is simple is you.
Bet you imagined yourself dropping a mic there
>>
>>150145429
hmmm season 3 has some good episodes and moments but i can feel the story's rushed
>decepticons go on a treasure hunt for predacon bones (they didn't think to look on cybertron for bones there too???????) only to realize wtf i hate predacons now and commit clone genocide against them
>brings back silas and arachnid in one episode just to get rid of them (the episode's still great despite that)
>don't mind knock out going 180 on being a decepticon but it has no buildup or hinting at it like how dreadwing or maybe breakdown would have had
at least the final episode is satisfying enough on its own
>>
>>150145756
is it better than OG, animated, or beast wars?
>>
>>150145845
Its better than beast wars

megatron...... cover it up...............

i haven't seen animated or beast wars yet

no joke but Transformers One is the best Transformers movie ever.
better than TF 1986, better than TF 2007, better than Bumblebee.

Seriously, whoever worked on that movie deserved raises.
>>
>leave ratchet (their only medic) on earth
>whoops ultra magnus needs medical attention pls space bridge ratchet into the TV movie thanks :)
lol
>>
>>150146025
big disagree

really didn't like the voice acting, the writing, the designs, or the story. stakes were unengaging, drama uninteresting.

one was kidslop through and through

>gets puppeted by unicron again
>wtf i hate conquest and becoming ruler of the universe now *disbands the decepticons and flies away*

this show gave me plot device hunting fatigue like armada and wasted characters but at least the character interactions were good and it had knock out
6/10
would buy a knock out, megatron, and starscream toy
lol @ ultra magnus being stuck sitting in the medical chair during the last shots of the show

my HEROES... and knock out, i guess
>>
>>150148986
Smokescreen should've been Hot Rod
>>
>>150148986
there sure are a lot of wide shouldered skinny wasted autobots. i guess it's more heroic but it's a little repetitive
>>
>>150149047
They are allergic to hot rod now
I feel like a good redesign could fix that,just make him something else than a future semi/winnebago/box truck
Like he can still be some sort of truck but not a normal one
Energon had him as a jet engine truck which was cool
>>
>>150149317
I feel like it's just the general fear Hasbro still has of Hot Rod due to the backlash he got decades ago. Everything about Smokescreen just sounds like Hot Rod, even down to his mannerism and obviously what happens later in Prime.
Which speaking of the 86 cast, I think everyone has had a media appearance (excluding the comics) except for Springer and Kup
>>
>>150149381
Kup appeared in spirit as bulkhead in armada but there he was a crazy old coot more than a veteran grandpa
Springer was planned for revenge of the fallen as an ospreay
>>
>>150149461
Interesting how one of the few Autobot triple changers hasn't made any appearances outside of the comics and G1
>>
>>150149317
what if they made him a racing pickup truck
>>
>>150141475
I like you.
>>
I think you have to be introduced as a kid to really enjoy the 86 movie
>>
>>150149551
Rodimus being a pickup would definitely be a cool progression from Optimus being a truck-truck
>>
I liked what IDW did with Hot Rod/Rodimus. Hot Rod is obviously a hot rod. But Rodimus is an actual racing vehicle instead of a winnebago/box truck.
>>
>>150149551
Good idea but I feel like he needs extra heft to be called a prime
Dakar racing truck would fit but pickup could work for hot rod
And give him a cooler head
Add a visor and some caddilac fins for a headcrest
>>
>>150149846
The main thing they really need to do is differentiate his look from hot Rod and Rodimus
Both are completely identical with such very minor differences and the only real change is his alt mode
They need to make the differences to be much bigger like Orion/Optimus
>>
The first 30 minutes of the 1986 movie is some the best shit you'll ever see in TF, but it shoots its wad too early. I still love it, but it definitely goes downhill after the birth of Galvatron.
>>
>>150149911
He would need a color swap between forms,maybe make rodimus hot rod colors but with a lot of silver thru partsforming ?
Or give him ultra magnus trailer equivalwnt that envelops him ?
Biggest problem would be the head cause all heads are similar till you get to the details,I say we give him a full visor new crest and maybe some changes to face
>>
>>150141264
While I do agree on you,I personally liked the first three films as Dark of the Moon was meant to end on a sort of high note but AOE and TLK were made because of Paramount's moar money crap.To me AOE and TLK are in a alternative universe and DOTM is the definitive ending and not that chiffhanger The Last Knight gave us.
>>
>>150148986

I just went through Prime for the first time and it was really fucking weird that none of the human characters appeared or were even mentioned in Predacons Rising.
>>
>>150151031
i get them not appearing in the movie since it's all on cybertron and the humans can't breathe there anyway
but at the same time they were fine on the final episode of the show when they watched the omega lock shoot into the allspark well and revive the planet????????
idk not like they would do anything relevant there regardless
i think the most they could have done would just be to a comment about them but seems like their story is all finished up anyway
what pokes at me more is that shockwave just disappears from the movie after tanking a horde of zombie predacons and telling the living ones to go fight unicron
>>
>>150141226
Didn't watch the Tv series, Didn't watch the animated movie. until i was 34. and I fucking loved it.

no Nostogia here

>not liking the 86 movie
>>
>>150151114

I hated all of them except Fowler and Jack's mom, so it's not really a complaint. It's just very strange to have almost half the main cast absent without even a throwaway explanation as to why. And I think the implication is that Shockwave was torn to pieces off-screen by the zombie bots after making his last stand. He seemed inescapably fucked to me anyway.
>>
>>150141226
>are transformers movies bad
Yes, they're bad.
>>
>>150149381
They used Hot Rod in Cyberverse, honestly wasn't bad. It helps that when they had the War For Cybertron that felt like a better version of the movie, he didn't fuck things up.
