The Transformers franchise has a
special place in my heart. For a man that knows the history of Cybertron and
the First 13, this could be a special time for the great robotic organisms or
Michael Bay could be releasing another “Revenge of the Fallen” for someone else
to come in and fix. I did a post years ago addressing my concerns with Michael Bay and his version of the Transformers (Bayformers), you should go check that out. However this is not a post to beat up on Bay this time. This is a post to
address the so-called fans of the 1980’s classic and what Bay could or could
not be leaving for the next group of directors being this is his last go at the
Cybertronian kings.
I’ve had my issues with Bay, but
besides Transformers 1, this COULD be storyline GOLD. I’ll explain shortly,
first checkout the 2 trailers released for Transformers 4 Age of Extinction.
As much as I can’t stand the
guy, you must respect him for at least bringing Optimus to the real-life big
screen. I really hated the gold-toothed autobots in ROTF, I thought is was over
the top racial and there were sooo many other characters in the Transformers
Universe that could have and should have been utilized, I also had a major
problem with the gigantic nutt-sack that Devastator had. I definitely did not
agree with him killing off Jazz in the first movie, if you were going to kill
off anyone, they should have introduced other characters like Cliffjumper, a
true A-Hole that not many people would miss. But, adjusting to today’s
time frame he did an amazing job. I appreciated Shia’s (Sam/Spike) contribution
to the run.
For a so-called Transformers fan
to discuss anything with me and not know who the Fallen is makes me snikker and
keep it moving. I will NOT speak on “Revenge of the Fallen” because I believe
it was not only disrespectful to Hasbro and the creators, but the fans as well.
“Rolling on the Floor” is what I call it. I mean the Matrix story they told was
ridiculous.
"Kill Me... No One Would Care..."
Why was I impressed with “Dark
of the Moon”? Leonard Nimoy… The Legend, Spock, The original Galvatron… Even
though Mr. Nimoy didn’t play his great Galvatron, he displayed the ability to
become a former holder of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership while also becoming
a somewhat evil Galvatron-ish attitude. I was happy they paid him homage.
Sentinel was raw too! They used the Sentinel Prime attitude from the IDW
comics, showing how he was more drawn to attack than flee. Sam/Spike grew up,
they introduced Carly, the true love interest, eventhough it looked like her lips were balloons… Also, I got to
see my favorite Decepticon on screen in Shockwave. Where they dropped the ball
was telling people that the Arc (Autobot Ship) was actually helmed by Sentinel
Prime and it was shot down and crashed on the moon. Everyone should know that
the Arc transported Autobots to Earth millions of years ago and crashed into a
volcano. Lastly, how do you destroy Cybertron??? What the fuck is your problem…
Do you know who and what Cybertron is?
Anyway, on to a quick class. If
Transformers 4 is done correctly, a lot of wrongs could be fixed. Let me
explain and pay attention.
In 1985 the Transformers cartoon
movie was classic because of action, death and profanity. The story of Megatron
vs Optimus ended here. Optimus died, Megatron couldn’t function and was thrown
out into space by Starscream. Unicron the massive planet eating transformer and
brother to Cybertron summoned Megatron and gave him a new body and new troops.
He named Megatron Galvatron.
The Dinobots were idiot robot
created by the autobots and were for lack of a better word, STUPID!!! They
warred with Optimus, until the team came up with a plan to make them smarter
through computer programming. So to see Optimus and Grimlock fighting in the
trailer is not a surprise. Also when looking at the fight in the trailer you can see the
backdrop, very prehistoric looking, similar to where the autobots crashed on
Earth in the original cartoon.
The sword that Optimus had
during the fight with Grimlock COULD be the first sword that held the Matrix
and was used by Prima. Prima was one of the first Primes.
There is a slight possibility
that the ships in space could be minions of Unicron, how else did Megatron
become Galvatron. Hopefully they didn’t let the humans do that…
Let’s hope all this pans out,
because if it does Transformers 4 might be a classic to true fans. It could
correct some mistakes from the past while creating new possibilities for the
new team. I hope Cybertron came some way be recreated… I’ll continue to hope. "Till All Are One..."
