I liked when Drift compared Bee to a child and Bee replied something like "Well this child is about to kick your ass."
"Where is Optimus Prime?" I just wanted to see Cade walk these guys into a Toys R Us and go, "There! Take your pick! I hear he comes in several different sizes...y'know, in case you need to compensate!"
I'm so fucking glad they actually refer to the Transformers AS Transformers now. Not just Alien robots
Hmmm...I agree that this is an entirely new Prime, one who has been pushed past his limits and is out of options. I also agree that it successfully conveyed the Autobot's desperation (just look at Ratchet's death scene). I think I would be more accepting of Prime's violent actions if only he wasn't constantly spouting lines like "I will kill you!" Hell, even his threat on Attinger ( the whole I will find you and kill you) wouldn't have been that bad with just a slight tweak of wording. Instead, something along the lines of "Whoever is responsible...will answer to me for what they've done" something like that conveys the same desperation, the same disappointment in humanity and Prime's outrage and anger. I can take an Optimus who is forced to resort to extreme means to defend himself and his Autobots, perhaps I just can't take the dialogue, IMO its lines like the aforementioned that make him sound unnecessarily homicidal. For the record, I am genuinely glad jdub87 that you were able to see that same old Optimus in AoE, the one that as you said it "resorted to violence when it was absolutely necessary." I like that kind of Prime. Maybe on a second viewing, I'll be able to see the same as well. Oh and also Transformium? Not an acceptable element name, Bay.
Drift: Only use violence as a last resort. Drift gets attacked by something in the wall. Drift: I kill you! I also liked Lockdown's "I don't care" line. It says a lot about his character and I think this is the first time a villain has made me laugh in these movies.
There were so many great lines I can't even remember them all. Prime angry about Ratchet though was awesome. Finally he showed some emotion when a friend died.
I liked Bee's more 'older teen' attitude. His self bleeping of obvious naughty words made me laugh. His indignance at all the put downs at KSI was awesome. "I'm barely touching him" then Stinger falls on his face.lol. Drift had some good one liners, though his calling Prime sensei was adorkable. Crosshairs made me laugh the most, which was a nice surprise. Hound's "I have to kill you now". I truly enjoyed how Prime remained noble, yet justifiably pissed off and tired of humans. Lockdown was awesome.
When you guys make the homical Prime jokes, at least there's a reason why. Prime's switch between TF07 and ROTF is stll pretty odd.
What was the line Crosshairs said when he parachuted off the Decepticon shop. Something about bringing pain. I've seen it enough now I should remember!
The best part is that, disregarding the broadcast, that is technically the first line Optimus says in the movie.
Joshua's "How do you say 'GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY' in Chinese?!" had me giggling for about five minutes.
Crosshairs was hands down the funniest character in the entire movie. Early on his line about the Autobots offing one another so that he could be in charge made me laugh soo hard. Also when he jumped off the ship and let out that maniacal laugh while blasting ships was the funniest thing I've ever seen from any autobot. And lastly when Optimus was getting ready to fight Grimlock his line about letting prime handle this issue was pure gold.
I like the part where Shane and Tessa are cuddling and then Cade gets all pissy and I forgot what he said exactly. Optimus is then like: "I can relate, I had to deal with that with Bumblebee." SO this confirms Bumblebee gets all the bitches.
