    And who knows, if these movies do well maybe we'll get that! Maybe we'll get the Nightbeat/Muzzle buddy cop movie we've always wanted! Maybe we'll get a Dinobots movie, or a Transformers Road Trip movie, or hell even a Transformers college comedy - this world is literally limitless for potential, that's what's so great about Transformers. It can be serious or silly, with stories about anything, Paramount just has to disregard the stale formulas and let new people come in and go nuts. This is the thing with creative freedom - even if they make something bad it'll at least be more interesting than the bland, formulaic blockbusters most other studios release. It's why I actually liked Zack Snyders Justice League despite not really liking any of his other DC movies - they let the mad dog off the leash and as a result, we got an R-rated four hour Justice League movie, a sentence that still doesn't feel real to say, but hey it's pretty cool that exists now.

    And yet, no one asked you. G1 is the star of the franchise, all others have been derivatives. Why hot go with the strong hand? No one is going to cater to you who is the only person asking for this derivative film.

    I mean no one asked you either, so why are you posting? I need to find this totally real person who thinks G1 is the 'only part of the franchise' since movie fans talk about them a lot yet I haven't run into him on here.

    "Let it go and go outside for once." So is the implication that this guy needs to go outside more because of his opinion online, or that he needs to go outside his 'comfort zone' cuz last I checked fans could like and not like whatever they wish, or does that logic only apply to the movie fans with their victim / inferiority complex? Not trying to be a dick but what would you call constant hugbox "lEaVe ThE mOvIeS AlOhohone!" threads, white knighting for the films literally every time someone mentions them in a negative light, responding to anything that isn't radically different (on the surface) with "ew Geewun not realistic alien CGI robots. Blocky, cartoony, not realistic".

    I think you'll find more people are asking for proper Transformers films that aren't shit instead of the loud, dumb films with next to no substance we got for more than 10 years. "Redundant", that's adorable, like the first 5 Transformers movies weren't redundant. Oh man.

    I'm begging you, those who will feel compelled to respond to this, just drop it.

    Maybe this will be the War For Cybertron story.

    G1 has never had a live-action movie, none of those fans have been catered to, theatrically outside of a cartoon that's almost 40 years old.

    Bayverse has had a decade plus of catering and it failed. There is nothing wrong with taking a different path.

    No, G1 isn't, that's been made clear and beaten into our heads for decades. You guys had your movies, we're long overdue for one, even just one, for us.

    You should go outside, yourself. Sunlight is a mood booster, you sound cold and depressed, making you mean. Fresh air will help, too.

    This. I'd watch it.

    Bingo!

    Apparently, because no one in the fandom wants it, clearly.

    So much anger and hate, it's feeling like Yoda's going to come out from behind a curtain and say "See, told you I did."

    Pretty much this!

    Give us a good product, that's really all I care about at the end of the day.

    Add buttholes to the Bayformers and call it the butthole cut! You know something like this would fit right in with the Bayverse.

    This has got me stoked! I\'ve been wanting a sequel to Bumblebee forever it seems and Beast Alliance should be cool since I actually started with Beast Wars. I wonder if this new standalone film will be that rumored Cybertron movie? I would love to see an origin movie that centers on Optimus and Megatron. I can\'t wait to see the designs!

    Change for the sake of it can be just as bad as no change at all. Also you can only speak for yourself and not the entire fandom.

    I think 'anger and hate' is a bit of a stretch, though I can definitely tell some users are maybe a bit angy.
