>>41839Dude, the plot and writing of the Micheal Bay-era Transformers films is literally schizophrenic and it doesn't matter since big names like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee always survive each film anyways which is what matters to the (then) kid viewers at the time. I'm a Transformers fan and as soon as the first film came out back in 2007 all of the old-school G1 fans discarded it and were never interested in the entire Bayformers franchise. It's sole "fanbase" were kids who were solely interested in the action, nothing else.
No one actually follows the plot. Every movie literally contradicts the next one right after. People just want their dumb robots fighting each other with racial stereotypes jokes and subliminal pro-pedophillia propaganda mixed in (look up the age of consent scene in one of the Mark Wahlberg Transformers films lmaoooo). Oh and CCP shilling.
While I think Rian Johnson and J. J. Abrams are both hackfrauds, they are capable of writing the basic structure of a saga that is mid at best, stupid at most but I can at least comprehend it.
What writers did the Transformers people even have??? It's always "ancient Transformers-related threat resurfaces from 9 trillion years ago to enact Total Human/Autobot Death, now it's up to the guy from 'He Will Not Divide Us' or that guy who screamed the n-word five times alongside his plucky robot sidekicks and a hot bitch to help him save the day!" simple as'.
Not like that matters now since the new generation of Transformers film is going back to its lighter G1 roots and the last Bayformers did so badly they had to reboot it with the aforementioned.
