    So...there's a lot of stuff in this coming movie. Huh? Lots of new characters. Lots of new things.

    Galvatron, Lockdown, the new Autobots, the Dinobots, Stinger, the humans...Now let me ask you this. If you were to pick and decide the screentime of each, who would get the least?

    Will you sacrifice screentime for the new Autobots (Drift, Hound, and Crosshairs) so we can get more backstory on our Dinobots? Or would you prefer less screentime on Lockdown so Galvatron can be our big villain?

    Or visa versa?

    Someone is going to suffer from having all these characters. Will it be the human made (I assume) Stinger? The mysterious Lockdown? The turncoat Drift? Hound and Crosshairs? Or the Dinobots? Or maybe you want to know more about our human friend played by Marky Mark, instead of Galvatron?

    If it were up to me, it would actually probably be Drift, Hound, and Crosshairs. We could get in a good enough feel for who they really are as characters by smaller moments here and there without being deterministic to the story, unlike the humans or the villains, who need a specific amount of screentime. D,H and C would suffer so there the human-time would keep the producers happy and there would be more time for focus on the Dinobots wrecking stuff.

    There, there. (Pat, pat)

    Personally, I voted Stinger. Looks like he's going to be a drone soldier-esque guy.

    I think its more because people are voting what they predict, not what they WANT.

    I think everyone except Hound and Crosshairs will get decent screentime because they all have their own important story arcs. Bounty hunters, human made tfs, dinobots; they all serve the story. I feel like others are just cannon fodder, they'll entertain us but just for a while. Like all the generic autobots from the previous films that get zero characterization because they are not Optimus or Bee.

    I have to agree. But it'll probably be made up for in TF5

    Really fucking confused by your poll... are you asking who we believe will have the least screen time? Or who we want to have the most screen time? Or who will likely have the least screen time?

    The thread title asks one thing, the poll another and the OP's post something else entirely...

    Title is asking who we should focus on
    The poll is asking "Who gets the least screen time"
    Op's post seems to be asking us to rank the characters in who we'd want to have the most screen time

    This really needs clearing up - because I'm beginning to question whether no votes for the humans is a good thing or bad thing...

    Who do you want to have the least amount of screen time.

    But I'm a fan of interpretation, so knock yourself out.

    With a lot of less TFs this time around, they might all be getting more screen time. So far I'm pleased with AoE more then any other Transformers Movie
