Have you watched Transformers One?

Yes, and it is—no exaggeration or hyperbole—the best Transformers movie to date.

And not only is it the best Transformers movie

it's also an actually good movie.

I came in with high standards prepared to judge the hell out of Optimus & Megatron's new origin stories, but no they pulled it off, I 100% believed that within the span of a movie they had both evolved from a couple of nobodies into the leaders we know & love. They made it work.

The one downside is I would've wanted to get to know more of the characters better (especially more Cons), but after so many "we've thrown thirty Transformers at you and only got to know one or two well enough to form an emotional connection, if even that much," I think maybe dialing back the cast was the right decision until they've mastered making good Transformers movies.

Sentinel Prime was a VERY good Sentinel Prime, kinda 1/2 IDW and 1/2 TFA.

The art style's gorgeous, I love TF continuities that go for a colorful cartoony easy-to-read CGI style.

Iacon is beautiful, GREAT city design. All the environments & vehicles are great but I can't talk about the others without spoilers.

Every single background character is SOMEONE, you could watch the movie just looking at the background characters and going "HEY THAT'S— AND THAT'S—" and have a great time.

Steve Buscemi is Starscream.

10/10.
