    The reason Optimus doesn't look like the other Primes is because he wasn't one of the original 13, just a descendent. After the 13 died, the title of Prime became more of a rank in the Autobots. Hence why characters like Optimus Prime, Sentinel Prime, and Rodimus Prime all share the same title, without being one of the original ones.

      Your Half Right it did become a rank type of deal after the Original13 had died.... But! .... On CyberTron once a Transformer gets/earns the rank of Prime that Transformer then goes to a special place on CyberTron and receive a charge/Blast of special Energon that upgrades them and makes their punches and kicks and blasters and metal body way stronger than the other Transformers...But Since CyberTron is no more a Transformer can't 100% become a Prime...which made Optimist and the Fallen the last 2 100% Primes

      Are you looking at this based on the lore in the movies or the actual comics/television shows. In most animated stories Prime's back story actually has him as one of the original 13 Primes being the last one born. This is also stated in Transformers: Covenant of Primus. The reason for his changed looks is because he chose to be reborn as Orion Pax without any prior knowledge of his life as a Prime.

    The reason for Prime's flames was because when making the first movie, red was still a really hard colour to film with digital cameras, which Michael Bay knew since he has experience with shooting car commercials as you said last time. The flames and orange gradient at the front were a compromise to help the CG artists get as much red into his design for his chest and arms, while still maintaining a majority blue truck.

    They had to pause the filming from the injury and when he came back they wrote the injury into the movie to explain why he had to have bandages on it. Because no other character suffers any injury from the transportation

I remember it clearly because, three days before, Michael Jackson's died, to put it in perspective.
    As a massive Transformers fan, this hurt, and they continued to hurt as time goes by, and somehow Bay managed to make worse ones.
    Oh yeah, Frank Welker voiced Soundwave AND Dr. Claw, since he used the same voice here, instead of his filtered iconic voice. Besides that, he voiced G1 Megatron and Galvatron, which he won't do in the movies until 4 and 5.

    i think the first one was helped by Spielberg being more involved, reigning in Bay's worst impulses. This one wasn't as good but i think audiences were a bit forgiving because it was known that the writers strike left them in a situation where they needed to get a script done in a hurry (apparently Bay locked the writers in a hotel over a 3 day weekend to bang out the pages). From the third one onwards, it just feels like Bay doesn't want to be making transformers and is doing whatever.
    hope at some point you'll watch the 1986 animated Transformers.

      Michael Bay actually locked his writers in a hotel (during the writer's strike) until he had a script he could use to start shooting. So, what writing we got was pure exposition and the rest of the movie is big big action. I still saw in in IMAX opening night. Still loads of fun for me even today.

    6:10 the thing is, they added the flames for a reason. Back then cameras had a hard time processing the color red, so they’d have to diffuse it with another color. It’s also why in Tobey Maguire’s Spiderman films his webbing was silver instead of black. They tried the solid red and blue but the footage didn’t look as good. It also gave more flexibility on where Optimus is red in his robot mode.

    -The Fallen built a machine on earth(in the pyramid) that destroys the sun to harvest energon
    -The Matrix was the key to activate the machine, and could also be used to reactivate Optimus.
    I also don't agree that Jetfire's explanation in the desert was boring or confusing. You see the original primes and how they came into conflict with the fallen over whether they would use the machine or not.

I loved your commentary/reviews on this one, I think you are both dead on with what you said and you articulated it much better then how most people just say it sucks and that's that. it *does* suck but at least you guys explained why. In response to Jen's concerns going forward, I know a lot of people hate the Mark Wahlberg ones but personally I think they are still much better than this one, so at least we got the worse movie out of the way nice and early. Also, Holden, you might already know this but the reason Soundwave sounds like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget is that they are the same voice actor, Frank Welker, and in the original cartoon Welker did the Dr.Claw voice for Soundwave and then a vocoder effect was used to make it sound robotic.For this movie they decided not to use the vocoder so now Soundwave just sounds the same as Dr. Claw.

    Soundwave sounds like the villain from Inspector Gadget (Dr. Claw) because it is. Frank Welker voices both, and when originally voicing Soundwave for the 80s cartoon they just slapped an autotune vocoder on it. Here, he does the same voice, just no vocoder.

      It's not some kind of law of fate. It's just that the Primes are on a different level from the other cybertronians. Megatron nearly killed Optimus in the first film because Optimus was weary from his long journey to Earth. In this film, he had two years to recover from that travel fatigue, which is why he was still winning even when he got jumped by three of the toughest decepticons while protecting Sam. If they hadn't jumped him AND used Sam as a sort of human shield to keep Optimus from focusing on the fight, they most likely would have lost to Optimus.

    The bad guy from Inspector Gadget (Dr. Claw) was voiced by Frank Welker, who voiced Megatron in the original Transformers animated series. He was passed over by Hugo Weaving to voice Megatron for in the first three live action films, but then replaced him for the last two.
    Paramount announced this movie's release for 2009 while the original film was still in theaters two years prior. The writers of the first film (Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman) declined to return and their replacements' scripts were rejected. Paramount then went back and convinced the original writers to return to do a brand new draft and then hired Ehren Kruger to help with revisions. To meet their opening date with the completion of their needed special effects shots, different action sequences had already started filming ahead of time with no script in place for them. To make matters worse, because of the impending 2008 WGA Writer's Strike of 2008, they were left with only a film treatment and an unfinished script when that went into effect. So a lot of the plot and dialogue that made it into the movie (as little as there was) had to be fleshed out on the spot at the time of shooting without the involvement of any writers per their contract and the WGA regulations.
