Transformers 5: The Last Straw 

Sam dying off screen and his offscreen break up with Mikaela help you realize that Palpatine line isn’t so ridiculous in proper context.

Sam dying off screen is all he deserved. The character did not warrant wasting film time to explain how/why he died. He's basically the equivalent of making Jar-jar a central character. No one asked for it, no one wanted it, no one cared for it. We just want to watch robots fight.

​@@merphulThat's an insult to Jar Jar

@@merphulSam was not nearly as bad a character as Mr Er- oh wait different Yeager.

"Somehow, Sam died"

Tells you a lot about their relationship.

Maybe Bumblebee is the one who killed him.

@@merrittanimation7721in lore, cemetery wind most likely killed him while trying to get to bumble bee.

your forgetting, he's not human, he is a soldier who has killed many and seen many friends die, and hes been smacked around... a lot. Also he was a sort of assasin in a sense.

Would you feel bad if Sam died?

Maybe the Saxons showed up with their Saxony Prime or something......

@@jackychan9236 Shows up with their casually superior German engineering degrees and builds a mech out of wooden longships with the German Volkswagen Logo on the side where the Autobot-Decepticon insignia should be.

According to the Transformers comic books (yes, there’s a Transformers comic book, go read it, it’s great) Cybertronians actually have no concrete concept of gender, what with them being artificially constructed, and many of them (including Arcee!!) canonically identify as gender-fluid.

There is real risk that somebody in Transformer production team thought that it was actual railroad, and was picturing steam train autobot helping out.

I mean it kinda did though. The mf was back soon after that.

That would be absolutely horrifying if it were in a better movie

killing off ALL the human characters wouldve ben a bonus. we didnt want or need human characters eating up 80% of the plot

The whiplash could break necks

​@@azultarmiziThen this is the peak of Cody's TF series.

That's only in the IMAX 3D versions of Age of Extinction (and Revenge of the Fallen to be fair). And it only switches between IMAX and Panavision the same as The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises on blu-ray or 4K. I have Age of Extinction on 4K and there's no switching. The Last Knight switches between three non IMAX ratios and it does it no matter how you watch it. At least it made sense how it was employed on Age of Extinction. I think Michael Bay was on crack when he made The Last Knight (for many reasons) because the ratio switching is completely random in it. It's insanity..

@@davidsavage5630there’s an aspect ration change even more jarring than this in eternals. This doesn’t look as bad as that did but I didn’t even know this could be an issue.

@@walnzell9328 The precedent they've set also made me wonder, did any Decepticon get tried at the Nuremburg Trials?

“Hi, I’m -Saul- Soundwave Goodbot. Did you know that you have rights? The Pax Cybertronia says you do. And so do I.”

It would've worked too if people weren't murdering autobots on sight.

Putting Inglorious Basterds alongside the Dark Knight Rises and the Last Knight is already questionable as it is, tbh

BiGgEr DoOr

Thats more sad than good. No transformers and human efforts the point was alien and humans making something

Ancient aliens

Tbf a lot of the reboot stuff feels like a dig at the Bayverse. Like how the bumblebee movie really focued on the human and bee bonding, and I got some Michaela vibes off of Charlie (young mechanic with parental issues) while her useless sidekick is a guy with a hopeless crush on her and they make a point of them not getting together at the end. (Edit) also the military is Not in on the Big Secret before everyone else and fucks up in a way that isnt simultaneously glorified. Rise of beast felt like an attempt at mixing the brutal and agressive Optimus with the classical type. Mirage bonded with a down on his luck guy having a hard time finding a job, he doesnt date the girl, the thing you mentioned about the robots not actually being behind human ingenuity... Its not a one on one, it feels like theyre trying to be their own thing, but it got little things that I feel like are meant to be a "we've improved" thing. Hopefully they dont go fully up their ass with self criticism/past shame. Though the Gi Joe teaser... I actually laughed in disbelief and then sighed in disappointed. Oh well. They want a cinematic universe. What else is new.

Perhaps, but it's more likely because nobody wants to be reminded of that dumb Ancient Aliens show and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I think nowadays most people know that those conspiracy theories about aliens building the pyramids or other ancient monuments are pretty offensive

But that's not Optimus Primal.

True , another thing they ripped off

So people can’t turn evil anymore like wow like why

​@@zaynoonmoses lol you really posted that absolute tranformers 5 simpage for other people to see. Transformers _FIVE_ . That's actually impressive 😂👏👏👏

i can't even use the nemesis prime card because they always were different characters altogether

If there’s one thing I’ll give BvS and Civil War this, at-least that they made it clear they’re fighting each other. I forgot The Last Knight had that fight scene.

The toys had more thought put into them than the $200 MILLION BLOCKBUSTER!

You should read about the very earliest version of the movie so you can be as mad as I am that they chose to make whatever this is instead of that. Instead of being the worst Transformers movie it would have been possibly not just the best Transformers movie but maybe even Michael Bay's best movie. So of course they didn't do it..

​@@davidsavage5630 I find it hard to believe any version of this movie to be anything but dogwater.

I read somewhere that he was going to pilot nitro zues body after bumblebee killed him

Could you provide a link or something?

Yeah, they don't even bring up how he's got a spark now (we're supposed to assume Quintessa gave him one, but it was cut from the script)

They even remember that Starscream's head just appears intact when his head literally EXPLODES IN DSM

​@@x_xnicko I love how little the writers gave a shit about this franchise at this point

"Well, all I have to say is.....WWRRAAAAA!" - the writers, probably

That was due to copyright apparently, the name Megatron wasn't used for a while during that period in transformers so they almost lost the name Megatron because of the animated aligned continuity Megatron was dead for all of RID15, galvatron in the movie, and I think there was little to no toy of him released

I'm keep forgetting that Metal Fusion still of Moses and the universe always makes sure to remind me. I still can't believe it.

That was a thing? I never saw Metal Fusion, but I'll be the first to say: I believe it. God gave Moses the Blade and told him to let it rip for Freedom.😂😂😂

​@@PirvateerKureiyou made me laugh out loud on a public toilet

No he used a bakugan! Fun fact bakugans are actually transformers

The Holy Bayblade

@@waxblast7528 Because he's referring to Michael Bay's transformers which is well and truly dead. Bumblebee killed it.

@@Cr3zant Yes, but also no. Bay is no longer the director or creative lead, but he is still a consultant and advisor to the writing team. He said that he wanted to make sure the movies going forward stuck to his idea of what the world should be like. That's why one of the first credits in the opening of the movie is for Bay Films.

​@@OtakuUnitedStudio Even then, I'm glad he is not that important anymore because now, Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts has a soul

​@@OtakuUnitedStudio Trouble is, this world is a bloated, incoherent, unimportant mess that changed its own rules on a whim even before TF5, and that was so bad, I dread the thought of a sequel. Why should future films have to be beholden to Bay's vision when his vision crashed so badly, they (rightly) retooled _Bumblebee_ as a full reboot? And how _can_ anyone make heads or tails of this world anyway?

It's even funnier that Optimus froze in space because Megatron froze when entering Earth from space. Both are dumb.

Them frolicking through the field has to top it

I haven't watched these transformer movies but the 4th ending with Optimus taking off into space and the 5th picking up with optimus being a frozen scrap pile who couldnt even make it past 2 planets is so insanely stupid I just cant

He went into stasis he didn’t die

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8 Pretty sure Jesus Christ didn’t repent to me. 🤔

That is 100% accurate and that is sad. I remember when I saw that part in the theatre. My exact thoughts were "Wait a damn minute. William Lennox, did you not spend a significant part of your military career trying to defend the whole ass planet from these shit heads?! Why the fuck are you working with them?! And why to track down the people who actually saved your life on more than one occasion?!" I was so angry I almost missed someone saying nearly the exact same thoughts out loud a few seats down from me.

Silence heretic

😂😂😂

@@storygirl747watts4 😂😂😂😂

And then he proves that yes he did drop any and all respect you could ever have for him back in the third movie by bailing out because a nerd back at base said 'we have the solution' I was genuinely just saying Optimus just go take your bots and get off the planet and let whatever bullshit going on happen seriously they don't deserve your help.

And it’s actually engaging. And makes it clear that the monsters are the main stars of the show.

Heck, they managed to give Kong and Godzilla personallities in the last film, and they never spoke aside from roars and some face expressions.

@@leithaziz2716 Kong has more character than Godzilla, arguably.

@@thegnarledpirate9198 Probably. They gave him a pridefull "pondering my legacy and living up to it" attitude which was interesting and I'd say worked even if they didn't spend too much time on it. Godzilla ranged from a "hesitant protector/anti-hero" to "entertaining troll", which seems kinda messy in hindsight.

Not to mention Legendary seems like they just let their cinematic universe just do it's own thing. They don't have a year long plan for everyone to see, it just....HAPPENS

It's incredible, they really found a way to absolutely destroy any plot put in their hands

I keep thinking the 4th movie was the one made in 2017, but no that’s this one. I feel old

It feels like this movie came out in like 2013 to me.

Omg you reassured me 😅 frl I was like "wait... I've seen some of those images some years ago... I'm crazy or what?"

And that they released 2 more movies and one of them this very year.

I legit thought this had just been released and I was completely unaware for days. Turns out I was unaware for years

I like how all of the murder convictions are listed like they’re separate incidents and not like they’re all referring to the same thing and also like the murderer wasn’t a fifteen-foot-tall metal behemoth who unloaded a plasma cannon into a crowded bank vault

It’s completely out of place but that’s a really funny line

I still just find it funny that they refuse to release him because of that, despite the fact that most Decepticons have probably killed a lot more than 9 people for a lot less

@@WhenGoatsWentBaa This is an excellent point. Practically every single Transformer in the Bayverse at this point has gone through the Geneva Convention like it’s a grocery list, and yet it’s the guy who shot up a bank in a heist gone wrong that the military has moral qualms about allying with, while still being totally down to team up with _fucking Megatron._ It’s so stupid, and I love it for that.

Maybe I'm stupid, but murder, double murder and triple murder sounds like 6 people.

The relatable aspect of the bayverse

He’s a true hero for doing so

There's one good thing about this movie: Sir Anthony Hopkins was having the time of his life. I think they just told him where to go and when and then allowed him to do whatever the fuck he wanted to, and we all know he loves being crazy and weird in movies. After being a stoic and boring version of Odin for three Thor movies, he probably loved doing this one.

And now we make him watch the 6th

I can’t tell if you mean Optimus Or Pointless

​@@dfastilloit not really a 6 more like a 1, it the start of a trilogy in the reboot universe, it not connected to the Bayverse at all, it have new directors and visions.

honestly the decepticons in this movie were kinda just vibing, their goofy personality really made it difficult to root against them

he found the biggest doors in transformer heaven

Thank you for saying this. Like this part of the movie really bothered me. I wanted nothing more than to kick him in the balls during the whole damn movie. As fucked up as it is, I can understand humanity doing this to the Autobots, but not him. I know I'd lose a fight to his character, but I would still try to fight and beat his ass for what he did.

Can’t believe that

Where do they mention the Ironhide thing? I don’t remember that at all.

@@wes186 I honestly can't remember because it's been so long but I think it was in the comics/books tie in? Edit: don't quote me on this as I may be wrong. What I am sure about is that many TF fans back in 2007 said that Ironhide was the Lennox family guardian (possibly because Ironhide dropped Lennox off at his house and since Lennox is the other main human character besides Sam it just made sense that he gets a Transformer buddy too).

yes he was one of my favorite characters and i was just so confused

True to Hollywood, there was an early screenplay or something for this years ago that seemed about a thousand times better...at least on paper. So of course they didn't make that version. If they had filmed THAT script (called The Last Knights) it might have been the best one..

😅

All because he had Exaclibur. Yup, that was supposed to be excalibur, but it's never referred to as such. ...and it's literally never used again after this scene.

What pisses me off about that scene is how poorly edited it is. There was a low angle shot behind Cade with a good angle on him as well as the transformer knight swinging the sword. Yet, for some inexplicable reason it was cut in the middle by another angle of just Cade swinging the sword, all that did was break the moment. This was supposed to be Cade coming out as the Last Knight (lol) yet all I think is how poor the editing is.

it's on par with how Noah was able to hold Optimus and pull him in ROTB

⁠​⁠@@Eternal_Sky_UniverseIn ROTB Noah had a full transformers armor so super strength is acceptable, but in that movie the guy just had a sword.

@@a_wolf8889Even tho he had an armor, he was still way too tiny compared to Optimus. Someone that small shouldn't be able hold Optimus while he was getting sucked into the black hole thingy. Like, we see Noah sticking his feet on the ground but he was holding Optimus before that. So Optimus just looses his grip on the axe but Noah was able stop Optimus from flying away with just one arm? I love ROTB but i can't excuse the bad writing in that scene "in that movie the guy just had a sword." I'm not saying Cade stopping that giant sword makes sense but in the movie, the sword that Cade used to block the robots attack was actually the excalibur

You can read the IDW comics, play the Cybertron games or watch some of the Transformers shows (most notably Prime, Animated and Beast Wars) to see what can be done with the source material. It actually makes the bay-verse movies worse in hindsight. Outside of the character development, there's also just some really cool worldbuilding.

@@leithaziz2716 Ohh yeah! I’ll play the cybertron games until the end of my life, they are so good!

Amazing how he regains his ability to speak at the end of the first one...then loses it for four more films outside of like a warped "whatever" in Fallen iirc Then he gets it back here for a shoddy emotional moment thus ignoring the fact that he literally can't speak in this movie

Also, they didn't even bother getting a proper voice actor for Bumblebee, they just got a sound engineer from the SFX Department to voice him.

@@cillbipher2613 If i recall, the reason he initially couldn't speak in the first film was because his voice module got damaged and he barely managed to speak via willpower. Then in the second film his voice module is fixed...but now clogged with dust and dirt so it doesn't work. After that his voice module magically no longer exists just to keep up the gimmick of communicating via song lyrics.

I read people actually defend the first thing by saying "No, Bumblebee didn't really speak in the first movie. That was just another voice clip. It came from something in-universe, so of course the audience wouldn't know." Why would they want to defend The Last Knight, I dunno.

Honestly, Megs doesn't even matter by this point, that it makes sense he doesn't mention it.

and that bee already regained his voice and cybertron was properly destroyed being sent back through space in dotm

Megatron returning wasn't even needed in that movie, Galvatron could have been an entirely new and different character that inherited Megatron's personality traits and used them to develop its own - becoming somewhat of a Megatron clone but potentially more vicious and violent, or just a crazy version of him.
