no but genuinely it makes me emo the fact that we elita fans got a writer (Josh Cooley) who ACTUALLY gave a shit about her and turned her into a complex character w an arc and everything instead of just optimus dead/gf/ex and paramount/hasbro went nah

DON'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEE

no because cooley and the team genuinely have so much love for elita and it's so prevelent in the film and art book, they actually gave a shit and perfectly built on her character past man angst for optimus. AND LITERALLY LITERALLY THEY WENT "nuh uh" like what the actual fuck ?? like what do you mean it lwk makes me want to parody socrates. like what do you mean the one time in 40 fucking years we get elita content, her character building, arcs, a complex story for her and it gets taken away like that ?? the one time (sans earthspark love you earthspark) she isn't an angsty backstory and it gets taken away like that

and i can't lie one of my first thoughts hearing the news was about the elita spinoff cooley wanted to do and it's actually devestating i am chewing my arm off because, while that was even more uncertain than tfone it was so hopeful and it very could have been a reality and im mourning something i never even had WE COULD HAVE HAD AN ELITA SPINOFFFFFFFFFFFF LIKE IM TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA WHY ARE THE GOOD THINGS ALWAYS TAKEN AWAYYYYY like what the fuck bro 😭😭 WHY WHY

the one chance/glimmer of hope of elita getting even more expanded on IN A SOLO, AN ELITA SOLOOOO, being more than optimus' partner and it got crushed along side the trilogy thanks a lot rachel year ruined 😔😔

From the bottom of my heart, I hope Paramount's Live Action G.I. Joe × Transformers Cinematic Universe crossover flops harder than The Dark Universe

[beheworthy]

This is the cutest press conference I've ever been to. My heart is full!

‘Transformers One’ (2024)

Directed by Josh Cooley

[angelfishcake]

imagine a director's cut and the first part of the movie is just B-127 watching trash burn until Orion and D-16 show up and the rest of the movie progresses like normal

Transformers: One - What's In A Kneel?

!!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

With the responsibility of leadership and the dangers of pedestals and hero worship being such major themes, it only makes sense that all three of the film's leaders would show their true characters, and in doing so seal their fates, in moments where they have to kneel/bow.

Sentinel Prime essentially sets the entire second half of the film in motion when both the heroes and we as the viewer see him kneel to the Quintessons. It confirms everything that Alpha Trion was just telling them/us about him, and it's also the very thing that ends up getting broadcast to Iacon in order to finally expose Sentinel and turn the public against their False Prime.

For all his superficial charisma and his talk of looking out for the little guys, Sentinel himself is truly nothing more than a self-centred, spineless coward, who couldn't care less for the needs of the many and gladly bends to the will of bigger bullies/oppressors in order to keep himself in power.

After learning of Sentinel's betrayal and being subsequently captured with the High Guard, D-16 makes a point to stand while in custody and adamantly refuses to kneel. Even when Sentinel begins beating and torturing him, D-16 makes it abundantly clear that he has no intention of bowing to him or anyone else ever again.

In better circumstances this could be a heroic trait, a courageous defiance and the willingness to stand up in the face of injustice. But it just as becomes a negative one, and it's one of the last warning signs to the kind of leader that Megatron is going to be.

He may have started out with good and heroic intentions, but because of this Megatron sees himself as superior, and whether by choice or by force, he expects his fellow Cybetronians to rally behind him just as they did with Sentinel. While he sees himself as a revolutionary, in the end he's just going to become another tyrant.

And then we have Orion Pax. For much of the film, he's a far cry from the noble, legendary leader that we know and love from other iterations, but he starts to grow into it as he devises the rescue mission, and is tasked with rallying his fellow miners to help.

Having gotten a major upgrade since the last time he saw them, Orion now towers over his former peers and they're utterly awed by the sight of him. Rather than trying to take advantage of their admiration or even intimidate them with his new size and strength, Orion almost seems frustrated by the new height difference, and before beginning his speech he kneels down to literally speak to them on their level.

Orion doesn't make a point to do this, no one has to ask or prompt him to, in fact he himself doesn't even give that much thought to it, it's just his first instinct for how to best communicate. He may look larger and stronger now, but he still values the miners as his friends and his equals, and nothing is ever going to change that.

Gaining the Matrix later on may have gotten him the name, but it's this moment when Orion truly begins to embody the true core and heart of Optimus Prime. Powerful and inspiring, yet humble and caring. Or perhaps, as the legendary Peter Cullen himself has always said:

"Strong enough to be gentle."

Hearing a lot of good things about this one, my interest just keeps growing by the day.

Transformers One (Josh Cooley, 2024).

[short-wooloo]

Well I said I wanted a Transformers story to do with Optimus and Megatron what Revenge of the Sith/Kenobi did with Obi-Wan and Anakin

[hollywoodoutbreak]

Taking on the ambitious task of helming a beloved franchise like Transformers with Transformers One, director Josh Cooley knew the stakes were high. These characters hold a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide, and creating a fresh story—a prequel, no less—meant honoring their legacy while steering them in an exciting new direction. Central to this vision was assembling a stellar cast to breathe new life and personality into these iconic roles. Cooley not only rose to the challenge but exceeded expectations, bringing together a lineup of A-list talent, including Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, and Brian Tyree Henry.

Once he heard them embody their characters, Cooley knew he had hit the mark. Their performances transformed the script into something extraordinary.

Transformers One is now available on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, digital platforms, and streaming on Paramount+.

TRANSFORMERS ONE:

Pariah miners

Uncover truth of Matrix

Friends turn enemies

[solar4seekstron]

So I was thinking since we just got a confirmation that we’ll get transformers one the sequal. I was thinking of a verse to give the movie since it’s supposed to be standalone from the Bayverse and Knightverse films. For the transformers one trilogy why not call it something like The Oneverse?
