Massive fucking spoilers on the poster cover? Are they insane.
>>154768100>Post-credit sceneAre they gonna try to revive G1?
>>154768146Come to think of it, how often has Unicron been faced and defeated?The movie, the 00s anime show I'd imagine... Prime? Or was he earth and thus can't really be dealt with in Prime?
>>154768100Cheers.
>>154768146It could be one of many things desu>A X-Men 97 style continuation of season 4>Maybe completely retcon season 3/4 as part of their "apology tour" and starting anew>Teaser for that show based on the skybound comics>Just a teaser for season 3who knows but good chance they all will suck
>>154768112The first trailer for this re-release was just (wo)manchildren crying over Prime dying.
>>154768306Probs 3
>40 years it still hits later like a truck
This feels excessive. I think they somehow did more promo stuff for the movie's 40th than the franchise's own ani.
>>154768306There's a whole 18ish year period between the last episode of G1 set in the 80s and the movie, which covers the entire 1990s during which-The Decepticons completely take over Cybertron and kick the Autobots out-Spike gets married and has a kid-Hot Rod and all the movie characters arrive on Earth-The Autobots start their guerrilla war from the moons of Cybertron-The Autobots officially ally with Earth and create Autobot city, while also raising Earth's technology level and turning them into a Space Power-GI Joe has their final showdown with Cobra, defeats them and is refolded into the Earth Defense forces. Cobra Commander gets away and becomes a terrorist for hire.They could do an amazing few seasons just with that if they really wanted to
>>154768100I want to see a new generation of children traumatized by the murder scene.
>>154769473>Cobra Commander gets away and becomes a terrorist for hire.That was a fun easter egg.
>>154769537Whoa, what episode is this?
>>154769564https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3_CUO-Nnvk
>>154769515They don't know transformers,they'll browse tiktok as usual
>>154769564"Only Human", season 3, episode 23. He's an arms dealer for the villain of the week but Chris Latta gives him his classic mannerisms whenever he's on-screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofmv2ZF59GA
>>154768100>IT STILL HITS LIKE A TRUCK...fuck off. yes i get its also a pun, but fuck you for putting millenial phrases on the poster of a 40 year old movie
>>154768411The Japanese trailer for their release was a bunch of americans crying that Convoy died. I cant find it anymore though fuck. It had helicopters carrying optimjs away
>>154769391>prepare to fall in love with 14 year old
>>154768100oh god are they going to crop the video to get 16:9 aspect ratio againhttps://youtu.be/OtgnqWLYqHo?t=30
>>154769755Those goddamn 70 year olds ruining my dictionary
He did nothing wrong
>>154768159they mainly just fought his avatars because guess what? making Unicron earth sorta makes it impossible to fully have Unicron in the show he was also in a bunch of funpublication comics
>>154769473>The Decepticons completely take over Cybertron and kick the Autobots outwasn't that already the case prior but now the Autobots took control back from one of its moons
>>154769954In the first episode of G1 the Decepticons were winning the war and had taken control of much of the planet but there was still Autobot controlled territory like the city of Iacon and both sides were running low on energy sources. After both Megatron and Prime go missing for several million years because the went in their ships to look for energy fought and crashed on Earth and were deactivated for that period the Decepticons stopped gaining ground. The first time we see Shockwave in the first episode after the pilot he mentions they're not doing so great against Autobot resistance because they've barely got any Energon left. For the rest of season 1 and 2 Cybertron remains in the state of Shockwave fighting against various Autobot resistance (such as Elita One and Alpha Trion) to limited effect while Megatron remains on Earth fighting against Prime and stealing energy where he can.By the movie however, the Decepticons have completely taken over the whole planet with Megatron and Starscream and the like operating off Cybertron having mostly abandoned Earth and all Autobots either on their moon bases or back on Earth. Then during the movie Unicron slaughters the Decepticon forces on Cybertron allowing the Autobots to take over after Unicron is stopped and forcing the Decepticons to take refuge on a crappy burnt out planet called Chaar.So basically Season 1 and 2- Most of the Autobots and Decepticons are on Earth, while their remaining forces on Cybertron are still fighting it outThe movie- Decepticons completely control Cybertron. Autobots control Earth Season 3- Autobots control Cybertron and Earth. Decepticons are now on Chaar.
>>154769755>millenial phrases>hits like a truckAre you genuinely retarded? That kind of slang was all over the place in 80's movies. I'll eat my own fucking feet if there isn't at least one similar phrase in the entire G1 cartoon itself.
>>154769391Don't dead open inside ensured
>>154769861I still don't get why adults blame him. Kids, yeah, they're dumbasses, but Hot Rod was 100% in the right to jump on Megatron, because he was going to get a shot on Optimus regardless. Optimus should have just not been a puss and taken the shot since Megatron was wide open even with the hostage taken
>>154770088Nah, Hot Rod would be effortlessly overpowered by Megatron and should have known that. All he did was give Megatron a shield so he could shoot Optimus repeatedly until fatally wounded. He should have just yelled a warning. Even if he did nothing at all, Megatron would have fired once and then Optimus would have returned fire ending it and probably not dying because he would have gotten shot once instead of six times.
>>154768146they're gonna make an amercian dub of headmasters
>>154770133Nah, Hot Rod just shouting accomplishes nothing, because Optimus was already fully aware and was STILL letting Megatron buy time to reach for the gun. Hot Rod had no chance of overpowering Megatron, but he had a chance to snatch the weapon away, and he had to go for it. >all he did was give Megatron a shieldNo he didn't. Megatron outright held Hot Rod off to the side. If he gave Megatron a shield, he absolutely wasn't using it.>then Optimus would have returned fireHe absolutely would not. He doesn't recover from being gutshot at all before Megatron continues his volley. He makes no attempt to move or dodge whatsover, let alone aim another shot. Optimus Prime 100% was going to let Megatron get a shot off with how he was faffing about and how slow he was to react even once Megatron had the gun in hand and Hot Rod had time to shout and go for the tackle, and that was going to seal his fate all the same. Better for Hot Rod to become an attempted hero and set his path onto wielding the Matrix if Optimus was throwing his life away regardless
>>154770179>If he gave Megatron a shield, he absolutely wasn't using it.Well he was it was just animated poorly for some reason. There's a shot of Optimus trying and failing to line up a shot suggesting that somehow Hot Rod was in the way even though it didn't look like he was.
>>154770222Nah, he was more just waving Hot Rod off because Optimus was too much of a PUSS to take a shot with him anywhere close to Megatron
>>154768100So how much of the G1 Cartoon should I watch before I watch the movie?
>>154768100Damn, I actually wanna see this in a cinema. Thanks for letting me know.
>>154770179>>154770133It's supposed to be vague and debatable like this. They did a good job.
>>154770815Not really. It's been stated in interviews and books that Hot Rod was intended to be in the wrong. They're just wrong, though.
>>154769564>>154769537Ah yes, the episode where rodimus gets laid and fucks the bad guy's good daughter.
>prime dies>prime turns greyYeah thats not how metal works. that always pissed me off. none of the other fucking bots turned grey when they died.
>>154771392It's his soul going into the MatrixOr just visual shorthand for him dying in a way that kids can understand instead of saying 'why don't they just fix him?'
>>154768146Current Hasbro is desperate enough to try
>>154768100>Apology tour>For something that happened 40 years ago in a cartoonJesus, why? Most of the "traumatized" kids are probably in their 50 to 60s.
>>154771392He’s an alien robot with an afterlife anon, earth metal rules don’t apply.
They should do a remake of Season 3/Rodimus Prime's tenure.Maybe put it into the Prime continuity.
>>154768173Look at that disgusting drug addict.
>>154768146Hasbro is too cheap to do anything more than paying some fan to make a stop motion with the Studio Series toys.
>>1547683061 seems possible since Bayformers 8 is being rumored to adapt the Powermasters. Would allow proper introductions to Hi-Q and have Daniel act as a mentor for Tommy
>>154773245Bold of you to assume we'd ever get an adaptation from Bay that literal, but also he would chomp at the bit to cast Stanley Tucci again, especially if he could be a main character literally tied to Optimus.
>>154768146It would be so god awful it would kill the brandI welcome it
>>154769515>>154769708Funny enough the median age on tiktok is 37Kids are on this shit but for how viralit goes that shows they are by no means the mass users of the products and this is just what baby Boomers did with TV where they bitched it was "rotting kids' brains" when the reality was gen Xers and Mills consumed far less TV and it was the Boomers keeping cable TV afloat.
>>154768100Will it perform better in the box office than Transformers One?
>>154769427Some retarded suit thinks pushing the movie that all but killed the IP is a good idea.
>>154773382>G1 revived>They/Them trans-experiment-by-Shockwave Arcee>Star Saber cutting planets apart>Unicron's head falls to earth and earth is Unicron>More humans
>> Berenstain Bears and the Bad Dream>> made 2 years later after TF: the movie
>>154773463It match them however that is because these special events are usually only 3 to 6 showings per theater if they are even having them. It's why tickets are set up like they are.
>>154768146We are getting G2 to tie with Beast Wars or transtech is happening under the Timeverses name.
>>154768146looking over the last 3 Movie theater showings of this, the one GIJoe one and the two for the TV series my guess is they will just do a CGI bit of Prime coming back to life with Cullen doing a new reading of "until all are one." Anything after that seems to extreme for what it is and we would have had rumors of a new show to run already if anything was in the works. This company couldn't hide Zelda, let alone even this Apology Tour plan which leaked last year around this time, so I can't see them announcing anything unless it's a shameless plug for the TF VS Gijoe film.
>>154768146Realistically I think they'll make a new show based on current comic book series, I remember news about it being in production so maybe they'll revel it soon. Otherwise I don't see it. They tried to make TF One very nostalgic and it still wasn't enough.
>>154773779source on that? The best I saw was the IDW writers saying they wanted to make one but I never saw one where Hasbro was considering it
>>154773382They need to just let the brand rest and bring it back later. Let these old fucks die off so it can be something new.
>>154770338It happens after the second season and before the third.
>>154773779>They tried to make TF One very nostalgicWhat?How?
>>154770338none. It won't help you at all.
>>154768100I noticed all TF movie stuff was copy righted by Hasbros recently so I knew something was upWill this be shown in the UK or is it US only?
>>154773375What stopped the cartoon from continuing was primarily the 1988 WGA strike, which lead to the Tommy claymation shorts happening instead >>154773660G2 wasn't it's own thing until midway through the toyline. You'd need something to explain the Autobots being mostly reset back to their original forms
>>154773375The main villain is Overlord, the main antagonist of Masterforce
>>154769537
>>154771392>none of the other fucking bots turned grey when they diedMaybe greying isn't instantenous, like it takes some time after death to loss all color, just like with rigor mortis in humans.
>>154769537Don't forget Flint and Lady Jaye's daughter
>>154769473Except they've explicitly stated they never intend to touch that period to the point Dreamwave and IDW and Skybound where explicitly told that said period was off limits.
>>154775321Didn't she kiss Optimus in Kiss Players?
>>154768100The marketing team is awful on this the trailer is granting and not capturing the film at all.
>>154775535Source on that?
