well they got away with the Fallen beheading a human soldier in ROTF.

 

Vladimir the Impala?


  It's not a very threatening alt mode!

 

Lol, that thing could do some damage as well 

 

Could be this kind of Impala...

 

Triple Changer?

That's a lovely bit of motor btw! I love the old "Yanks" I wish they'd do a spin-off set in the 60's! Imagine the stunticons!

 

He did what?!?  
Do you have a screencap of that?

 

and don't forget about Prime pealing off the Fallens face!

#decepticonlivesmatter

 

Yep.

 

Well, at least Bay has been consistent with bodily dismantling. 

Jazz ripped in half
Bee's legs blown off
Prime losing an arm
Fallen having his face removed
Que decapitated
Megatron decapitated
Various Cons being torn apart
Lockdown being sliced in half
Jetfire literally ripping out his spark
Humans being incinerated
Stinger lost his head
Now we have heads on pikes

 

That head on a pike is pretty disturbing. Here I was a while back complimenting getting a child into a film based on a children's property, then they put this in here. Hope it gets cut out.

Yes I am aware there has been extreme violence amongst robots, but they are clear fantasy which softened the blow... yeah, I was kind of bothered by some scenes in DOTM, admittedly.

 

I hope that I will not disappointed in the teaser.

 

It's a "kid's property" based on war and genocide.

If they can handle THAT then they're probably ready for a taste of reality and history.

People underestimate and shortchange kids too much. If you don't lie to them about reality then they can actually understand and process it when they finally see it. It's not that big a deal, try taking the blinders off and you'll be surprised how smart they actually are when they're allowed to be.

 

On this, I think i can agree. My wife and I have a major disparity about what and what isn't suitable for our 7 year old.

That head on a stick basically amounts to a Halloween decoration.

This doesn't change my mind about the awkward sex and anatomy references and Primes questionable role modelling though!  

 

Wheelie Leg Humping  

 

Wow, I always thought he "only" stepped on a few and stabbed one soldier kind of off screen. Thanks for... enlightening me... I guess..? xD

Now speculating about how this impaled head might be used in the movie: My guess it'd be part of a panning shot showing the aftermath of the battle or something like that. I don't think they'll be lingering on the head like they did with Lucas' remains. At least I hope so. ;D

 

If Simmons is written like he was in DOTM, I could see myself enjoying his presence. Glad John Goodman is back. His performance as Hound was one of the highlights of AOE. I find myself fascinated into seeing how/if all these returning characters' stories come together.

 

If this is addressed toward me, my response is this: I assume children are not sociopaths. Kids would know what they are seeing because they are so smart, but that's the thing: a head on a pike is horrifying. Being young and all, they are more likely to have extreme emotional reactions. They'll understand and promptly flip the heck out because people dying and brutality are pretty harsh.

Some kids are more perceptive than others. I have seen toddlers that could watch Child's Play (much to my disapproval), but I'm not going to assume that every kid is like that.

Also, what's war and genocide in Transformers is also giant robots fighting. Kids tend to veer toward the "giant robots fighting" part of things. They also veer toward the toys in the Walmart toy aisle.

 

I really don't think the head will be a big thing, just something off in the distance that you would need to pause the movie to see in the background.

 

How I'd love to see the Fallen back.

 

Yup, I agree. A good percent of these kids now a days are smarter than adults in some ways. I found this out the hard way the other day while doing walk around performances at a gig for kids and adults. They were seeing things adults never ever notice( adjustments will be made in the future). And also, I watch cartoons and that stuff and the hidden gory things are far worse than the movies. The things they be having the bad guys say in for example that star wars cartoon or that spider man sinister 6 or even that teen show Wizards of Waverly place. I understand a kids mind kind of it see some of this hidden stuff most of yall adults could never even imagine. And to think a head on a stick is bad. I could go on for days on this one, maybe. Just putting some facts out to go along with what Hazekiah commented on.
