after the first one i knew these movies were doomed, funny thing is everyone gets worse and worse. U say this movie sounds terrible yet ur stil going to pay Bay money to see it........well thats the problem right there, maybe if ppl like yourself stopped going to see these piles of dung, maybe they would have let go of bay and went another proper direction. As it stands ppl like droves of zombies still go them.
So your saying that people that like them should stop seeing them?
I know the argument that the movie is not out yet has been done to death but it is the case still.
Just because it's likely to be bad doesn't mean it's going to be bad I'm still going to give the movie a chance I mean I give all Transformers media a chance before I say I don't like it.

if u like it go see it, its ur damn money. My point was the dude that said it looks like crap, then he says hes gonna see it , just dont get that logic. and yes the chinese love the crappy bay movies and its all about money not good film or art etc. I bet u if the North american box office took a massive hit u would def see changes.........i for one know its gonna be crap cuz they all have been! lol. Im more looking forward to the Combiner wars show

Don't worry, they won't be able to achieve Maximum Britishness without cameoing Doctor Who, and the BBC is too classy to let that happen.

I believe we call that a royal zinger
Also optimalOptimus if you want to see if that stereotype is true, I invite you to our country, I can guarantee you'll be surprised and perhaps a little horrified.
Anyway I doubt that any of that plot involving merlin and Arthur is true, that's just people jumping to conclusions about the title and shooting locations. The Rom theory has more going for it. Speculation is fun though.

AOE Drift was originally going to be orange and black, but they had to go with blue and black, due to the fact they couldn't find enough orange and black Bugatti's for filming.
Glad to see they finally got their wish.

oh, cool
I guess that also explains why RiD Drift is orange and black rather than the AoE blue or IDW white and red.

They did too considering that was going to be his original colors before they had to make it blue.

I hope not, he'll just get a re-colored aoe helicopter release; if they wanted to, they should have upgraded him into a gen springer-style design, then they could re-shell that amazing figure and we could all be happy, but that's clearly not happening with this film

Seriously dude?
When was the last time you have seen a Japanese car in an American Blockbuster film?
the latest thing I can think of is Tokyo Drift which was 2006.
Butchering please...

The culture of the characters? The culture of the characters is Cybertronian. Drift has no heritage or culture in Japan aside from the fact that he takes a liking to the culture. That's like saying an American person obsessed with Japanese culture is only ever allowed to wear clothes produced in Japan. That's the stupidest thing ever.

They couldn't just painted it on? Or is that too expensive? And ZeroWolf, what do you mean by English culture is a little horrifying?

Yep it's not like Bay has hired any good actors ever!
Oh wait...
Plus Epps was like one of the best humans in the films like seriously it's not like you have to be a popular actor to have a good role I mean look at the new Star Wars movies and it's main actors that weren't returning character.

Even before this brexit nonsense the stereotype of the polite, well spoken, stiff upperlip British gentle man was already in tatters. Especially out of London.

I see you "understood " my comment. Never mind....
What I meant is that why not give him "matching" car mode. How about Nissan GT-R It's almost like creating Dino with Lamborghini mode and give him Russian accent.
Hope you get me this time...

Exactly! How about giving him Nissan GT-R mode and for the sake of Soundwave character (who was awesome btw) leave the Benz be?
Just a thought...

That actually brings up a very good question. If Drift is such a Japanophile that he acts Japanese then isn't he more likely to choose a Japanese car as his alt mode over something else? A guy that's absorbing that much of their culture would certainly see Japanese cars as superior, especially when they're just taking on the appearance, not the performance of the car. Seems like a major disconnect in his character.

Yeah, but did any high-end Japanese cars get offered to the movie crew and beat out the nicer European cars? I'm guessing 'no', and at that point, that's really all that matters to them
But I definitely agree with both opinions, it was sloppy character building

This is very true plus till the movie comes out we won't know what needs explaining from AoE.
Though in my opinion the area where most questions will be centred on is the dinobots, as I'm where are they now.

The person that first leaked Squeaks the Vespa long before he(?) was officially announced said the Dinobots will be back in this movie along with smaller Dinobots.

It's pretty much understandable, only so much of humanity would be welcoming if the tfs came in peace from the start, plenty of people would be afraid and start to hate. Just look at more down to earth real examples when people of different races mix. Especially when people believe that just because one small group cause trouble, they all must be trouble.
That's also not counting people using them as scapegoats for other problems.
It would take a large act to get people to look at them without fear but it may never go away.
Also good news about the dinobots

At least they aren't as bad as the x-men movies with continuity. You gotta shut your brain off to ignore all the problems with those movies.

Yeah, but it's like Man of Steel, where human lives don't matter
