    There was Barricade's interrogation things in the parking garage in 2007, and a dropped scene with a hood mounted gun during his and Bumblebee's chase (Which is why it dropped to night so quick (TFWiki has set photos of it). Then there was Stealth Force all over the fuckin' place in DOTM

    So robots with built in weaponry can't have similar weaponry on their alt modes?

    Right, because having a Bayverse film downloaded is a crime.

    I try to be. I mean, they're robots in disguise, and a partly-transformed Camaro with guns sticking out of it isn't very stealthy.

    Not a Bayverse film. The worst Bayverse film. Even The Last Knight, wasn't as lazy and boring as AoE (Anthony Hopkins was actually pretty great).

    Personally I want a Transformers movie to be handled like a spy movie. One part disguise, one part cool gadgets and shit, like if James Bond and the Aston Martin were one entity.

    Of course, not saying your thought process is wrong, just explaining my own

    Wow! Gotta give them credit for pulling it off considering he doesn't "transform" in the movie.

    UT movie bots are up there with the highest quality third-party G1 stuff. Really making a name for themselves.

    This, a thousand times this. TLK is a mess but it has a few things that make it vaguely interesting: Hopkins (like you said), that batshit opening, the bizarrely prominent religious themes and imagery, the extremely stupid but kind of entertaining decepticon "crew" scene, and a pretty cool-looking Megatron voiced by Frank Welker no less.

    AoE is just obnoxious. The statutory rape conversation, the terrible attempts at self-aware humor, the absolute worst product placement of the whole series which is a fucking achievement, and the massive wasted potential of the human-built transformer subplot.

    ...uh anyway, yeah, this figure looks tight

    Being able to fight without transforming and revealing the presence of aliens on Earth is the 'stealth' part. Nobody's gonna think a car with guns, missiles, and gadgets all over it is an alien. Better the world just thinks James Bond's saving the world again.

    Lookin good, hope they use the prime 1 statue for color reference rather than the Hasbro figure. Dragon deserved better than to be painted like a leader class.

    I'm in the process of designing an MP G1 Optimus, and it's exciting when I finally figure out how to get part A in truck mode to point B in bot mode; my goal is to make it as clean as a whistle, be more dynamic than MP-44's art, and be as posable as an SH Figuarts, it is tedious, but boy is it fun.

    I'm someone who's warmed up to 07 Megs' design over the years. To me the two reasons I'll never really warm to this design are the face and the fact that he didn't transform in the movie. I like the head/face design for 07 Megs, but the body isn't my thing, but he transformed! And the face is where the character is. This is the most goofy transformer face I've ever seen. The head is even cool, but the face is unforgivable.
    You sound pretty mad for someone who has no clue if they're removable or not.
    To me there WAS no transformation. That was easily the worst thing that bay ever did in those movies. Man-made transformers is actually a cool story idea. Flying lego screensaver "transformation"? Fuck that forever.

    It was a thing from the 3rd movie onward sooooooo.....

    And for the record they’re 99% probably removable.

    Couldn’t agree less. I’d go down to say AoE is the best Bayverse film. But carry on.
    They’re not always out. And what you said before about being in disguise. The drones were intentionally designed to be shown to the public.

    Now the beauty of an opinion is that I think AOE is one of the weakest Bayverse movies, and think DOTM is way better just purely for the final battle. Overall it has to be 2007 for me.

    I don’t know if I’d call it the best. For me, when we’re talking bayverse, that’s still dark of the moon. I would however say it’s far better than TLK, though that is probably the lowest bar one could set.
