    Few movies where good revenge of fallen bad and I’m movie fan see twins and devastator in fallen is what made movie good for me but other sequels where good,.

    But it’s transformers good bots vs bad bots same as cartoons comics and video game things different from that are characters that are in to stop bad bots try taking over universe over countless times and fail all time in cartoons,. I can movie marathon any time I want with this series I bought dvd box set.

    I prefer realism in movies than stupid goofy stuff that shown in cartoons humans on cybertron not floating away and no need space suits, ten foot robot riding human carousel not breaking under robot ton weight, autobot hound breath in space but need air mask jump under water to save drowning spike who gets into trouble in every episode he is in he’s worse than April in turtle cartoons,

    DON'T TALK SH** ABOUT APRIL O'NEIL!

    Are you actually making the argument the movies are "realism" and not as goofy as the cartoon? That right there is a head scratcher.

    ...even I think that's a little unusual.

    Woah! Let's not resort to torture here!

    I don't hate the movies, but I do like criticizing them. In fact , Age Of Extinction is my favorite bc it at least tries something new and attempts expanding the universe , but all of that was thrown out when TLK came out. Basically , I don't like the films but appreciate what they added to the Transformers mythos.

    I have to admit, I enjoyed the batshit craziness of 2 and 3. It firmly established Optimus a a face ripping sociopath, and made the humans seem a little interesting by making them all F’d up cartoonish simpletons.

    How about how heroic Optimus was when he let the decepticons decimate Chicago to prove to the humans that we need him. And the way he almost kills Sam with a huge shell casing from his gun as he states coldly, “We’ll kill them all.” All the while completely disregarding Sam and the rest of humanity... then he has the wreckers rip apart a helpless Decepticon with their bare hands like a pack of rabid chimpanzees.

    Ahhh... Film making at its finest. :rolleyes:

    Didn't the Autobots in G1 also let the humans exile them after the dumb idiots were lied to by the Decepticons and they actually believed them?!

    Yes, but those Autobots were duped. Bays bots pretended to exile themselves, let the Decepticons kill thousands of people and destroy a city, all to prove that we need them. Cartoon bots = stupid. Bays bots = psychopaths.

    The only excuse I can give Movie Optimus is how much the war bore down at him. AoE basically starts with him literally willing to kill humans after what they did to his comrades , and Prime only started being so aggressive in ROTF.
    The Fallen , the main villain of the film could represent Optimus if he fully gave in to his darker urges - literally destroying the Earth to "save" his race. That motivation to save his race was later warped by Quintessa to create Nemesis Prime , the full realization of Movie Optimus' shattered psyche. I like to be think Optimus witnessing the constant war on Cybertron , then it spreading to Earth due to HIS decision to launch the AllSpark into space , only leading to the deaths of his most trusted friends and comrades starting with Jazz, then Sentinel betraying him to get the Pillars leading to the catastrophic Battle Of Chicago and in the aftermath , even more of his comrades were tracked down and killed. Imagine the amount of trauma Optimus has been through , and in the prequel comics (at least the ones set on Cybertron and the Convergence story by John Barber) Optimus was once a mere scientist who alongside Megatron later became co-rulers of Cybertron until Megatron first began to thirst for power , leading to the war.
    Im not a psychiatrist , but I think Optimus in the films is basically half-insane and the films , prequel material and personal headcanon/inference are more than enough evidence to suggest it.
    Btw this is in response to the above comments between RodimusSupreme and Pichomp.

    Dammit, now I have an excuse to finally sit down and watch The Last Knight. And I'd survived so long.

    I've just seen the wave 2 Prime Masters in stores for the first time last week, so they're slowly trickling in.

    Leaked plot from Transformers 7: Bumblebee finally gets his voice back. He goes to tell Optimus, only to stumble upon Optimus Prime wearing the dead face of Lockdown. Bumblebee stares in horror as he looks around and sees the faces of dead Autobots and Decepticons on Optimus’ wall. Prime drops Lockdown’s face on the floor and moves toward Bumblebee. Cut to black. Camera pans out from Bumblebee’s face, now being worn By Optimus as he dances in front of a full size mirror. Ultra Magnus is then sent to investigate the serial killings of his fellow Cybertronians. :p
