So, Optimus' reign of slaughter is over.
Bayformers Film 6 is cancelled, and Bumblebee will now be the last of the series. It will be rebooted some time in the future with a new creative team, after GI Joe is sorted.
Way to leave that series intact, Bay.

Fuck. I wanted TF6.
I think Bay wanted to leave Transformers forever and move to new things. Good for him.
what a mess, and they had just put a "creative team" together to make a cinematic universe out of Transformers starting with Last Knight.
Might as well drop Bumblebee right now. They've all been irredimably shit since 2 anyways.
Also, it ended on a cliffhanger.
Then why didn't he leave after film 3 like he said he would? Or film 4?
Bumblebee is already filmed dude, it's releasing later in the year.
Transformers... Fuck you. I was really getting sick of this stupid love affair you were having with your own asshole, but I was willing to let it slide because I still liked the movies, love the heck out of the MPM figures, and Movie Studio looks like a blast. ...and now you tell me this. Nuh-uh. I'm done with Transformers. Why should I bother staying when all Transformers is gonna be is just a big open love letter to it's own anus? Regurgitating 80's shit over and over and over again.
I'm out. Fuck Transformers.
Last Knight would've been kino if it stayed in the middle ages
This is fucking shitty. I didn’t like the last couple movies at all but AT LEAST I THOUGHT THEY WERR HEADED SOMEWHERE. Now I find out it was basically all for nothing.
These dumb fucks should have fired Bay after DOTM, since AOE already had a soft reboot feeling to both the story and the designs. But no, they kept the Bay train running way past it’s welcome and now they’ve not only fucked themselves, but they’ve fucked ALL OF US.
And for god sakes PLEASE don’t do some G1 “going back to the roots” shit where they think we will be happy just by making the designs blockier.
How do you "reboot" a series that retconned the entire backstory of the previous films in literally every single entry starting with the second film?
Meh, expect Bee to turn into a trilogy if it does well.
Also,fuck you Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Steven Spielberg! Stay away from my Transformers!
>AT LEAST I THOUGHT THEY WERR HEADED SOMEWHERE
dude, did you watch this whole series? The entire plot of each film was thrown out in the next one, every single time. I've never seen a worse abuse of continuity between film sequels, and I've seen several of the Highlander sequels.
Last film needed more brown loli
Maybe this time around they will make the designs of the Transformers such that it doesn't hurt your brain to look at them
Suits have dirt on him and demanded more Transformers
T-Thanks Bay. I will miss you. Do Bad Boys III!
Bay is finally free!
From what I've heard Paramount wanted him back even that he didn't want. I think he fucked TLK hard to escape from this nightmare and do his films.
Maybe we can get a Transformers made by someone who actually likes Transformers now.
@94718471
Dude why are you copy pasting shit from that forum? what the fuck
Should I watch it then, for posterity?
I cannot wait for more blocky designs like G1! Woohooo!! Block forever!!!
Watch it at your own peril, that's all I'm have to say.
So we're really just...ending Bayformers on the cliffhanger that Optimus is literally Unicron's champion?
Goddamn.
Better than The Last Jedi so yeah.
Not surprising, Bayformers 5 was a bomb, people are finally tired of it
This is the real reason it's ending. Bay's game of having increasingly younger females in tiny shorts once every film would have finally gotten him in trouble if he did one more and reached prepubescent.
>Transformers 1-2: Megan Fox, mid 20s
>Transformers 3: English Model chick, early 20s
>Transformers 4: Nicola Peltz, about 18
>Transformers 5: Isabela Moner, like 13 or something
If you want the experience of being high without taking drugs.
>Better than The Last Jedi
Detable. There's so much bullshit with humans screaming at each other there's barely any robots fighting.
This as well.
>The main human lead of the reboot will be a female or a nigg
>Interracial relationships
Great! Finally Bay is out. That disgusting racist white supremacist scum. And his white patriarchy. Feel bad white boy?
Also that Earth is Unicron or something.
I can't believe they went FIVE films and never did a Unicron film. Like the sixth was going to finally be it. Remember when people thought shots of Cybertron in the trailers of Dark of the Moon was Unicron?
>13
user,she is 17.
There is nothing to see really. Even if you watch those movies for the robot fights, unlike AoE this has like 3 mins on that and I'm not exaggerating. It's mostly just an 3 hour-long extremely unfunny comedy.
I did not see the newest (last?) one, this is the girl from that one?
Did she really go around in skimpy clothes like Megan Fox did? She looks about 12
Yeah that's what I meant, like he literally stops Cybertron from regenerating a SECOND time in order for this shithole planet full of shithole caricatures that fucked up his species to survive. Twice. And unless like, Unicron is actually the good brother in Bayformers then that means Space Satan won the fucking jackpot because the Optimus-Primus teamup is his biggest obstacle. And now Optimus' uncle tomfoolery has hit critical levels it's open season for the giant robot angra mainyu.
PRIME
OF
MURDER
It's complete nonsense. Not like the previous ones, like this one isn't even coherent on a basic cognitive level. It's a random pile of scenes that all seem to be from different movies.
Reminder that Megatron was the hero all along, and that Earth is literally hell for the Cybertronian race. As in, the surface of the Cybertronian Devil.
>12
She is 17 .
Anyway,how can people not tell what happening in the movies because of the designs? Is it that hard? If the films go capeshit or nu-wars tier then we are fucked.
14/15 at the time of filming last knight
>Born: July 10, 2001 (age 16)
You couldn't even get that right, and she obviously would not have been 16 when filming The Last Knight two years ago.
Psycho Optimus will be missed for his bile fascination factor.
Why do you keep saying this? It's not even correct NOW, let alone when the film was shot.
>Megatron PROPOSES A TRUCE AND PEACE between Autobots and Decepticons
>Optimus goes "lol nah" and murders him in cold blood
Still bothers me, years later. That's supposed to be the hero?
he did, with a gratuitous shot of her legs
The only decent film in this series was the first one, while there were some interesting ideas or sequences from the others, but as a whole, the series sucks ass.
I guess I shouldn't expect kino from what was an 80's cartoon meant to sell toys but the fundamentals of the story of transformers is no better or worse than any other sci-fi.
I remember coming out of the theater after the first one and thinking it needed more of a focus on the transformers as characers, less humans, less quips/jokes, and the transformers other than optimus need to matter and do cool stuff, otherwise whats the point of designing them and having them if Optimus is just going to save the day.
How did this start so well with Shia Labeef and they fucked it up after the second one?
He watched the G1 movie
Terrible, another Franchise destroyed after Amazing Spiderman.
End everything with a Cliffhanger, Hasbro are such assholes.
I will watch how it turns out, once the new Movie will be announced.
If every Character keeps their current Forms, Knight Optimus, Bumblebee, then i will watch
even if it is another Story / Reboot, but otherwise > G1 Cartoon on big Screen > Franchise Dead for me.
Writers strike and writers change.
what kinda time is this where a movie franchise gets dropped if it doesn't make one fucking billion dollars, does their greed know no bounds?
Did it start that well? The first film was alright, at best. Decent action but the characters were all annoying and like a third of the film went to this hacker subplot that has no purpose, plus it does a great disservice to the actual Transformer characters other than Optimus and Megatron (the former not being a serial killer yet). All the supporting characters are just names.
It's a reboot user, nothing is going to be kept.
It's not like it just missed a billion or something, it barely hit 600 million
boxofficemojo.com
It did less than the first film did, and that's with 10 years of inflation and an explosion in foreign cinema numbers. Given the massive budget and undoubtedly huge marketing cost I'm not sure that even made a profit.
based as fuck
>Optimus is just going to save the day.
Optimus got his ass kicked, which is one of the reasons the first one was so good, Megatron was a straight up fucking threat, as well as Starscream
Transformers:
>Cybertron is dead, the Autobots and Decepticons are the only survivors. The Allspark (Magic Thing #1) was thrown into space and landed on Earth, Megatron was following it. Sheningans happen in modern times, Allspark is destroy and Megatron dies.
Revenge of the Fallen
>Megatron has a boss or something called the Fallen back on Cybertron which isn't dead now, Earth has some ancient superweapon (Magic Thing #2) on it from the Primes. Megatron is alive again.
Dark of the Moon:
>The Moon has a space bridge to Cybertron (Magic Thing #3) on it and also there's now an evil traitor Prime who was Optimus' mentor, all the Decepticons including Megatron are killed off and Cybertron is destroyed.
Age of Extinction:
>I can't even remember the plot of this one so bear with me. Now there are mysterious alien Creators, and Optimus can now just fly into space whenever he wants. Also there were Dinobots on Earth this whole time (Magic Thing #4) and suddenly loads of Decepticons again, Megatron is alive again.
The Last Knight:
>Transformers have been on Earth interacting with humans for all of history now, and also there's a magic staff (Magic Thing #5) that controls robot dragons and stuff. The creators is just a random robot woman on Cybertron that everyone knew about all along now. Also Earth is Unicron (Magic Thing #6).
Wew, the plot is a mess.
I hope she shows up in some other franchise, she was hot as hell
It's so bad the novelisation made it so Optimus accepted the offer instead, had Megatron be a lot less smug about it and they worked out their differences. What bothers me far more is:
>Megatron is fighting to save the lives of his fellow cybertronians
>Optimus is content to die in battle for the sake of a species that is literally trying to hunt down and kill his kind
I have to believe someone on the writing team cared about this because Megatron's design gets progressively shittier and weaker over the first 3 movies. As if they're desperately trying to signal with visual cues, that the reason why Optimus keeps winning is because he gets tuneups and R&D from human support while Megs has to struggle with exposure and resource shortages.
Without actually being allowed to have that level of sophistication in the movies.
>BUT WE HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW REVELATION
>TRANSFORMERS HAVE BEEN ON EARTH BEFORE
>AND THEY BROUGHT WITH THEM, THE LEGENDARY CYBERMCGUFFIN
the novelisation had them actually work together for peace, they just threw out Optimus being a psycho
Buddy of mine got an internship at Hasbro, he and his team got paid to go see it, said it still wasn't worth it.
I'm sad we won't see how they completely retcon everything for the sixth film.
Franny for episode 7 ?
And then in then in the next movie he is beating the shit out of Megatron, Starscream and Not-Blackout at the same time, and only lost the fight because Sam had to be Sam. Fucking ridiculous.
They also got more attractive with each entry so that's something.
>after GI Joe is sorted
I was more of a Joe fan than Transformers. I hope Hasbro sorts that shit out.
That's true Megs got gimped when he was revived in 2
But the problem is no other villain was half as threatening
If i remember right, fucking Marky Mark was shooting the bad dude in 4 by himself, meanwhile in 1, the Rangers only moved in when the F-22's absolutely belted Megatron, but Megatron still fucking got up
Yeah I didn’t watch a Transformers movie past the first 60 minutes or so of the first Bay Transformers. This sounds believable because even that movie made no god damn sense.
happening?
The only decent bits were Anthony Hopkins not giving a fuck and acting as hammy as possible, his robot butler, and the cute brown girl that actually was way more likable than expected for the "street kid" character.
Everything else was terrible.
the magic thing in AeE was the transformium seed
why are we even talking about these movies on an 18 plus board
they are a fucking black hole
Bumblebee like.
>no unicron
my dreams are dead
Ah yes, the random thing. I genuinely can't remember that one at all outside Stanley Tucci yelling a lot.
> DC films are already a cluster fuck
> adding Bay on top of that
You got to see his toenails
>no more murderprime
NO MICHAEL BAY!
So Pirates of the Caribean and Transformers both finally died with their fifth entries, in the same year? These 2000s franchises were not built to last.
It works with Lobo
Can we agree the biggest problem was having Bay direct every single one of them? They all felt the exact same and yet also ripped up the previous ones so there was no sense of progression. They were stagnant.
Bay should have directed only the first one. At the very, very most, he should have left after the third one (which clearly was designed to be the last one in that series, the fourth was meant to be a soft reboot and then it wasn't).
Pirates 6 might still happen. Fuck the post credit scenes that ended it...
Why are we talking about Capeshit and Nu Wars then????
Can we finally kill the "IT'S JUST TRANSFORMING ROBOTS TURN UR BRAIN OFF" excuse for these films being so bad?
Absolutely none of the main problems with the films revolved around the premise featuring transforming robots. There's nothing about robots that turn into cars that say you have to have terrible humor, a nonsensical retcon-laden plot, bad characters that take over from said robots, and an eternal runtime in a film adaptation.
And they both ended with sequel teasing cliffhangers.
It's literally the laziest blockbuster movie ever made. It's so lazy that they didn't even attempted to make every footage on the same aspect ratio.
TF6 will be a soft reboot just like AOE was
When Optimus gets his upgrade in part 2 and flies off to face off the Fallen, that was one hell of a setup for a great fight.
But NOPE, fucker went down almost instantly. Of course that was the same movie where fucking Devastator got his shit wrecked by the wigger-bots and then oneshotted by humans, so its clear making the bad guys a credible threat wasnt the emphasis.
Read the link, it's a complete reboot.
Also who the fuck was the Fallen? They never explained him or why he wasn't mentioned in the first film. Then he didn't do anything.
>Starts a Civil War that literally rips your planet apart
>Comes to another planet inhabited by an innocent alien species
>Tries to destroy, is resurrected and tries twice more
>Not finishing him off when you have the chance
Megatron couldn't be trusted and deserved to die.
Megs seems to be the most overall brutal fighter; I get the impression his fighting style worked a lot better when he was in top form and could turn into a jet at whim. What really disappointed me, is after sorta-coming back as a legit threat as Galvatron (i.e. not dying in a few blows), his TLK body jobbed even harder than before-and he has NO excuse this time, because it's implied to be a spanking new gift from Quintessa.
But to be fair Lockdown is dangerous in a different way: He's a skill monkey and a sniper working with the CIA, with a gun powerful enough to fuck up Prime from afar. Up close he's arguably more skilled than Prime even, since he was getting the advantage until Bee, Marky and Lucky Charms in his car jumped him all at once. I don't think the issue is he isn't dangerous, it's that...he's dangeorus in a way where his strategy makes him avoid a cinematic fight until he's out of all other options.
And Sentinel straight up handed Optimus his ass, while being fired on by the military AND gangrushed by Autobots. In pure combative power, he's the deadliest thing in the moveis.
The Fallen is an embarrassment without his instantgib gravity shit tho. Same thing with Quintessa really, it was even more blatent when she was so smol.
They still want it to be a sequel to 1-2 while being loosely another soft-reboot which was what 2 was doing.
How did Michael "AMERICA'S FIGHTING FORCE, FUCK YEAH!" Bay not end up doing GI Joe in the first place?
Bay would be the only actually talented director in CapeShit if the movie happens since Nolan left
Don't forget that Cybertron is suddenly not destroyed in 5 and that robot girl tries to fly it into Earth.
My man, DC films beings a clusterfuck is part of the charm-as long as they go full balls to the wall with it, rather than the pussyfoot editing shit in Squad and League.
And yeah, for better or worse Bay is perfect for Lobo.
There is something fascinating about watching money slide into a black hole.
GIVE ME YOUR FACE
Literally and unironically they should just back up a pile of money and let Paul verhoeven make a hyper violent gi joe movie that works well as an action movie and as a satire of American commercialism and jingoism
Go away Optimus
Orci and Kurtzman was on a strike, so Bay shoot the scene first and then let those two hacks write the script based around it. I'm not joking.
The only good thing that film did was introduce me to Moner.
