    Just watched Bumblebee for the third time. That 'Unchained Melody' scene breaks my heart every single time. Watching it for the third time is same as watching it for the first time. The whole theater just wept. Not a single dry eye. You can be a macho man body builder who eat nails for breakfast but you'll still weep into a tissue when that scene comes along.

    That being said, the final scene where Charlie starts up the car and drives away, the whole theater erupted. Cheering, knowing that her father finally heard her.

    Excuse me, I'm actually crying right now as I'm writing this. Honest.

    This shot reminds me of the animated movie poster from 86 with what’s going on in the background.

    They only used voice actors who were already there recording and Burton has previously said he didn’t want to reprise the role in an interview about the Bay films.

    i'm still in awe of how good this movie is, I hope this sets the standard of what it takes to make a Transformers live action movie.

    Yeah, I definitely agree. I never cry at movies. I didn't even really feel sad at the ending of Infinity War like most other people did. I thought Gamora's death was the saddest part, but even that didn't really have a huge impact on me. That scene in Bumblebee caused me to tear up a little though, it was so well done. If a movie has that reaction on me, it's definitely a success in my book.

    To me, DOTM Shockwave has the best design of all his appearances in the media, it was very unfortunate that his dialogue wasn't the best...

    The wife had all her sister's over for a gobble gobble cluck fest, so I took it as an opportunity to go see Bumblebee by myself (arguably the best way to see a movie). I loved it. What a great flick. I'm not going to shit on Michael Bay's movies because I really liked some of them, but this movie is exactly what I wanted to see. Just a fantastic TF live action movie. Bee is a badass and Prime is the Godfather. Can't wait to see the sequals.

    Little trivia here.
    Both Bumblebee's teenage human pals (Sam n Charlie) got the Bumblebee car from an "Uncle".

    I guess there was some consistency in this movie, after all! Lol! :D

    So wait am I missing something? Where did
    Simmons
    show up? I had my eyeballs glued to that theater screen and never saw him unless he was hiding in the background.
    In all honestly I hope it was a silly throwaway cameo in light of a new direction without John
    Tuturro popping in AGAIN
    and nothing too important like a possible reason it ties to TF1 for the prequel should it all come down to it.

    You're allowed to post spoilers in here.

    Simmons was the hyped up goofy Sector 7 kid that came to Burns's desk to give him a report. With the curly hair.

    If I could choose a single image of the movie ... I think it would be this:

    So, any guesses on who the 7 incoming Bots are?
    We know Autobots are scattered all over the galaxy, so not all the pods we see may be the Bots from the opening scene.

    My guess/hopes for the seven incoming:

    Ratchet
    Wheeljack
    Jazz
    Prowl
    Sideswipe
    Sunstreaker
    Mirage

    Man, that's a lot of Carbots. I'd throw Trailbreaker or Ironhide and Arcee for some diversity.

    I hope the Earth crew contains at least Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Jazz. Though I would love some oddball choices. (Movieverse Road Rage, Knight/whoever makes the next one, make it happen)

    Agreed.I never understood why some want characters that never got development and all and say the ones that we got in the movies had no development...I'm like okay but did Trailbreaker do anything more than movie Sideswipe?(I just gave some examples there..it's an interesting phenomenon)

    There is no need for spoiler tags in a spoiler thread. Young Simmons (not played by Torturro but obviously the same char) is seen twice during S7 scenes. He either wears a nametag or is called out by name, I don't recall.
