Well, that was pretty cool actually! Not what I was expecting, I got quite a James Gunn GotG vibe out of it with Hemsworth putting a bit of late-MCU Thor into Optimus. Megs' voice will take a little longer to get used to, but I suspect what we've seen so far as D-16 will be quite different from how he eventually sounds as Megatron. (And that shot early on of Megs and the red-hot Decepticon brand? was cool.)



A lot of the animation & design looks gorgeous, hitting somewhere between Evergreen and the Bumblebee movie for me. Some of the character animation looked maybe a little lower-budget than you might expect? Cybertron looks great though, both underground and topside, and it looks like it's packing so many little nods to bits of TF lore from all over the past 40 years that it's going to demand a close watch on home release.



In short, this is looking like a lot more fun than I was expecting!

Amen.



I literally sat here and watched this with my mouth hanging open. The trailer is beautiful, well polished animation. The interactions are amazing. All of my nurses and MAs also watched the trailer. None of them are even fans of Transformers, but they ALL plan on seeing this movie now.



That's exactly what a trailer is supposed to do. Well done.

So based on the background song, this is set back when Cybertronian tech ran on Windows 95? My, it IS the primitive past!



Beyond Airachnid's cameo, the whole aesthetic strikes me as 'Prime with a bigger budget' more than any other single past CG TF rendering, especially the Vehicons, and it works surprisingly well. I could see this getting all the attention that Rise of the Beasts didn't last summer.

Well it has to be better than rise of the dullest film to feature a science museum (yes I know WW84 is a worse movie but probably still less dull than rise of the beasts, with Eternals being the best of the three).

Megatrons voice is pretty jarring but some of the designs look good. I can take it or leave it though, not something I'm too fussed about seeing or not seeing

I dont know......I just dont know... I mean the animation looks good and fluid. I guess I'm just not "wired" into thinking that Mechanical organisms can grow and mature physically. I mean originally Orion Pax body was literally destroyed and he was ReBuilt into Optimus Prime. Call it hoaky, or whatever; but the idea of bots looking "young" and then maturing is just so foreign to my concepts of Transformers. Sure we saw little kiddies on Lithone, but that was a different race of Robots.



I mean I get that Optimus wasn't always the stalwart, confident leader we see in the OG series. each character should be able to grow in a sense mentally, but to have them look "youthful" just doesn't make sense, unless again, their bodies are literally going to be broken, and rebuilt into something closer to what we know. I mean Elita is already "Elita" (not Aeiral), and Megatron was "Born"(built) as is. (Physically, not mentally).



Yeah I know this isn't OG Transformers, and it certainly shows. I still plan on seeing it and giving it a chance, but man, It definitely didn't overwhelm me with positivity, lets just put it that way.



Also, can we officially STOP with inserting classical Rock songs in trailers? It was cool in Guardians of the Galaxy, and its sequels, and dozens of other film trailers that have done it in the past 10 years. But it can stop now. I mean I know Transformers is an original product of the 80's, but "Start Me Up" even predates it.



My nostalgia bias probably would have given a pass to any song from the TF:TM soundtrack, even though this film hasn't earned it yet (maybe they'll play "The Touch", or a rendition of the OF TF theme at the end of the film), but yeah, Rolling Stones and TF doesn't mesh well here.

This origin story for both Optimus and Megatron feels entirely different and out of place from the previous ones told in the past. I don't see this as a deal breaker altogether though. It just means it will take some getting used to for myself if this is indeed meant to be a brand-new continuity (or otherwise). I do feel like the humor is in line with things like Beast Wars and Animated. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Reading some of these comments and. You guys realize how many backstories and various canons there’s been right? This is something new, like how all previous iterations were themselves new in their time. I just don’t understand why this movie HAS to follow all that came before, why it has to specifically stick with one set of origin stories. It’s already so based on what’s come before, but it being not exact to one particular continuity is an issue?



This franchise might be in need of some Beast Machines level risks. I’m talking a whole series with almost zero characters that have come before.



Of course I’m still excited, and of course I get someone just not wanting to see it, but some of the reasoning here is a bit confusing.
