All of them. Can’t stand bayformers. You know currently atm transformers 1 is on Syfy right now and I’m watching it and the whole time I’m sitting here thinking gosh I can’t stand these movies. This isn’t truly transformers. I want to see the transformers. What we get is two hours of Shia LaBeouf and friends running around frantically yelling....”go,go,go”....”get him,get him,get him”....”run,run,run”, “block him, block him, block him”. Military this, college that, girlfriend this, getting a job that. Lol I want to see the transformers talk to each other. Can we get a movie of that? Where are they half the time? Optimus prime is a supporting character in his own movie. I’m sorry I just can’t stand Bayformers franchise altogether and I wish someone would stop it all and start over.

 

what is transformers anymore?

It did.

 

True. I guess they kind of did but I feel like the damage is already done. These are the big money making movies that are a part of our legacy now. While Batman and Superman fans get their classic films that everyone loves... we get these films. These flash in the pants bayformers films. And until we can create another trilogy of some kind then these bayformer films will be the go-to movies for the franchise. It’s very disappointing to be honest.

 

I think a lot of the face designs from ROTF and DOTM weren't the best, but the overall robot designs were always strong and inventive for the most part.

AOE did a much better job giving the Autobots more cohesive and expressive faces. Some say they are too human, but I think it helped give them even more character.

 

I think Devastator looks pretty awful as well as most characters honestly.

 

Movie Devestator, Wheelie, Skids and Mudflap, all of the appliancer robots in ROTF, Que’s head* (I don’t think I hate the concept of referencing Einstein, but the execution was bad).

Most others designs I really like or feel meh, but not enough to think they are the worse.

*I don’t have issue with his body, but if they gave him a different head, he would look much better.

 

I didn't like the majority of designs when the first movie was announced, but some of them grew on me as time passed. Prime, Ironhide, Brawl, Bumblebee and Barricade were all fine for the most part. I'm still not a fan of Starscream's look - nothing about it really indicates that it's Starscream. Would it really have been too much to ask to have some blue, red and white on him, to at least hint at his original colour scheme?

Likewise, couldn't Ironhide and Sideswipe have been red, instead of black and silver respectively?

Shockwave was okay - at least you can tell who he is - but Devastator was horrible, as were Skids and Mudflap.

 

AOE had the worst designs imo. They barely resembled something that could transform, and their faces were way too humanoid imo. I feel like Bayverse designs peaked at ROTF.

 

DEMOMAN TF2

 

Hound's design is perfection down to his beard.

Further, what about Leadfoot? His gut moves too. Both designs are fine.

 

Leadfoots design is bad too, I forgot about him. Although, the cool alt mode elevates it to a certain extent that I wouldn't include him at the very bottom.

 

Indeed-and then they gave him and his black SUV buddies heads that are literally bayified versions of Yautjas b.k.a. Predators.

 

Indeed-yet the filmmakers' objective was crafting loud, crappy movies that, "look cool" at the expense of logical storytelling and sensible designs (for the most part). If bay and co. had just admitted they were doing a satirical take on Transformers, they probably wouldn't have caught as much hell as they have .

If we had gotten someone from jumpstreet who actually cared, understood, and was knowledgable about what they were adapting, things would have turned out quite different-and Paramount wouldn't yet again be on the verge of flatlining. Yet, they created this self-fulfilling prophecy-and ROTB will have to pull off a HUGE miracle if this film franchise and Paramount, are to survive. . .

 

Here's the thing, though-Einstein wasn't actually an inventor, but a theorist. . .Spielberg mandated that "Q/Wheeljack" look like Einstein.

 

You know, multiquote is a thing.

 

Galvatron had some ideas I liked. Like his vehicle mode is gorgeous. The blue piping through him, combined with a silver body with some red from his eyes, is the start of something. I don’t feel like they were really trying anything with him, just throwing a design out there.

Hot Rod’s body is really generic even if you give him a different name, though the beetle black/deep dark blue plus orange is kinda to my liking. I really liked his Legion figure’s color.

Dragonstorm is generally what most critics of Bay designs are talking about in that he’s just a mess of shards and pieces. I can’t believe some people actually want a 13 figure SS combiner of him. The Knights are also boring and generic.

I like Que’s body and him as a character, but that face is indecipherable to me.

Though I have defended Lockdown in the past for being a fairly good adaptation of the Animated character, his human face and again rather generic proportions are less appealing to me as time goes on. He didn’t have to be his Animated/ROTF design again, maybe just something in between.

 

Yes, hopefully next time we'll get someone who respects the source material. Lmao

 

For me personally, it's those that don't look "transformable".
