#Transformers One Spoiler

This was indeed not the last time he showed mercy to starscream specifically

I watched Transformers One last night, and now that I've let it sink in over night I have some WORDS (In a positive way, this movie SLAPPED and I just wanna ramble haha)

I'll just be going over the main 4 however!

So Spoilers under the cut!!!

Okay straight off the bat I wanna preface that I'm not the most knowledgeable about the TF franchise, I'm more of a casual fan. I've seen some of the Bay movies, Bumblebee 2018, and a little of bit of a few of the TV shows. (I'm starting to read the IDW comics, but I'm not far)

So as a casual fan of the franchise this movie was EVERYTHING.

It's just so... refreshing to have a simple "friends to enemies" story line that doesn't try to get complicated. You can tell that the people working on the movie really fucking loved the franchise, and that they took the time to refine the movie.

Megatrons origin story is very believable and well paced, at time's I went "YEAH BEAT HIS ASS D" outloud. OOOOO AND HIS OPTICS CHANGING COLOURS SLOWLY IS AWESOME!!! I can't remember the exact scene (I have horrible memory) but there's this one frame of Orion standing up after being pushed away, and you can see D-16 standing up in the background behind him... and he's just covered in shadows, his optics are a muddy orange. No longer the bright yellow like they were in the beginning and UGG THAT WAS GREAT!!

Chris Hemsworth was actually really well cast as a young Optimus. I don't think he would suit a more war-torn and older Optimus Prime, however as Orion Pax I think he hit the nail on the head. He sounded young, hopeful and full of curiosity that it makes the broken friendship between D-16 and Orion Pax more impactful.

They spent the whole movie being at each other's backs, even when you can tell D was getting sick of his shit, they loved each other. D saying "I won't ever follow another leader" oof- and with his "the only person I can trust is-" being cut off short is GREAT foreshadowing.

At that point in the story I don't even know if he would have said Orion, or himself. Their bond is straining, tensions are rising high and they have hit a split road.

Elita I think, while not being as stand out as the other two, was pretty great in the movie as well. She had a more low-key character Arc, going from a stick in the mud looking for her next promotion, loosing it all because of Orion saving another bot (Jazz!!!!), being mad at him and willing to do anything to get back up the rank, having her whole world fall... and then finding hope within the last bot she would ever thought she would.

She is a figure head, someone who leads and gives commands, yet is bound and confined by rules and her superiors. I don't think she was every truly happy, but seeing Orion try his hardest and never loosing the spark of hope and bullheadedness inside him inspired her.

I believe that scene of her giving back the map to Orion was the first sign or her beginning to trust him, in addition to her not taking back the map later on.

OKAY NOW... BUMBLEBEE... well B-127 BUT MY LITTLE BEE!!

Oh you poor bastard, look at you! You're not mentally well honey, and the war has JUST started!!!! I really liked him in this film and I will defend him to the end.

Was he a little annoying? Yes. BUT it fits and it works. He's been alone for Prime knows how long, he's desperate for friends and companionship that he can't shut up now that finally, finally he has someone else to talk with.

I liked his jokes throughout the film, sure others can find it annoying (god knows the D, Elita and Orion kinda did) but underneath all of that is just a profound sadness.

You can see this when D-12 is standing up to Sentinel, he tells D to stand down, to kneel. Because he's afraid, he's afraid he's gonna watch as one of the first friends he's ever made be killed right in front of him.

He's also not as dense as other's think he is. He may be optimistic, loud and ever the chatter box who lacks the social ques of someone who's been alone for far to long, but he knows when to calm down. He was quiet when they found the bodies of the Primes, he was the one who had the Energon cube to give to Alpha Trion and he did that in a quiet and careful way cuz he knew that this was serious.

He doesn't crack a joke when they see the demise of the Primes and Sentinel's betrayal cuz he's also as shocked as the others. He's NOT an airhead, he's many things in this movie, but he isn't dumb. (also without him, legit nothing the movie was even possible, cuz he was the one who saved the SOS message of Alpha Trion and he was the one with the Energon cube... I'm just saying-)

Anyways, this was a great movie! If you haven't seen it (just spoiled urself mate lol) then please go watch it in the theaters if you are able to. It would be such a shame if this were to "flop" and we never got to see a sequel to this time line.

more thoughts in the tags cuz this has gone on long enough!

After watching Transformers One after a lot of appropriate time (1 A.K.A. One) I'm granted teh title of Tea Ultra Holy White Mage by myself and thus I'm a very expert cinemaphile (A.K.A. Theater Movin' Image Entusiast) and thus I shall give my Xtremely important ~~opinions~~ objectively correct facts about the film:

Ok, this was expected, like everyone knew this, but like, despite like thiz tihs is a cinematic masterpiece, I'm obviously referring to the 71'76 minutes long hot homersexual secsy secs scene between Optimus Prime and D-16. Whot 'cause this to be what we (Kinopholes) consider Kinoma is teh eggcelent koreagrapy and that D-16 announcement of his homerphobia, this iz a so subtle social commentary about society and that Optimus Prime Optimussy isn't enough to fix him, makin' clear that Optimus Prime isn't OP (as OverPowerwd) and has more to learn while also possibly as a foreshadowing for future character development.

Sentinel Prime's character is a big difference between his previous pothrayls bit that's what makes him such a fine character, here he's clearly a legitimate leader and hero, got rid of the previous theocracy and those old foolish dumb stoopid fools that could only talk about old foolish dumb stoopid foolish things, made peace with the Quintessentions (he's a raceist but not racist!!), created a new fairer society, build roads, gave free operations to everybaby, praise the courageous and have a promotion to Optimus Prime, D-16 and B#dassatron!!!!!!

WHAT A HERO!!!!!

D-16 renaming himself after the nickname he gave Optimus Prime's pener is such an emotional thing!! Much better than naming himself after an incestpus traitor!!

I found bizarre that every time Arcee was showed on screen there was an off-screen cybertronian shouting things like "Mommy Arcee!!" or "Notice me mommy!!", like it's xpecially so uncanny that that unnamed off-screen cybertronian gal sounds exactly like me if I was shouting in a cinema theatree.

It's so heartwarming when Megantron helped Sentinel Prime to do his Jazzz cosplay, the fact that he's deadly allergic to getting snapped in 2 is such an unexpected plot twist!! Thought my complaint is that this weakness kinda is like a reversed deux is machina, like when Sentinel Prime is allergic to that??

Overalls, this is cinema, if cinema was utterly amazing and very toy commercial. Watch this, and yuo will watch this film (which is a masterpiece).

This is the first thing I thought of after getting out of the cinema

[ukiyoebirds]

Dreadwing did not, in fact, understand the assignment.

Megatron is ringmaster of a clown circus and only Soundwave went to a professional clown college.

May need to click on the image for better resolution.

I don't feel like Orion trying to stop D-16 from killing Sentinel was because Orion felt like Sentinel deserved to live. I mean, he crashed an entire train into the guy just minutes before.

Imagine you have a chill best friend who is the voice of reason between the two of you, but he goes through a trauma that turns him into a roiling pit of rage. You keep reaching out to him and he keeps shoving you away. He is suddenly getting fusion cannon boners from beating the shit out of potential allies, and you have to beg him not to blow said ally's head off. Your friend frames this restraint as "the last time I will show mercy."

When Orion says "Don't be like Sentinel", I don't think he means "Um, have you considered that ACTUALLY this is not The Proper Way to change the government?", I think he means "You are losing yourself and it's scaring me and it's hurting you."

He was not trying to save Sentinel, he was trying to save D-16.
