G/T in Transformers (2007)

I have wanted to do this for a long time, I am doing this analysis from a subjective point of view, if you want to add any comments ahead. I'll see if I do it with the rest of the movies or the series. But I wanted to highlight the g/t that are in the transformers saga. So I have decided to do it, for example with the first movie.

I'm going to do it in order from beginning to end.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well we start with the first encounter, we all know what Blackout is at the military base, all of them thinking it was an enemy's helicopter, when you see Blackout transform and attack without hesitation, not being affected by any of the shots. Here I start from the Decepticon point of view, we are insects for them, like little ants. No matter how much the humans try to stop him, it is of no use and you see the destruction that has occurred in the base. The first contact between Blackout and Epps, there is no doubt that he does not see him as a threat.

Now I'm going to move forward to the next first contact, the first time Sam sees Bumblebee. The different dynamics are noticeable compared to Blackout instead of destruction and destruction. Bumblebee was camouflaged, trying not to attract attention. Now look at the music, how Sam looks at Bumblebee. Surprise, fear and at the same time fascination.

Well, with scorponok, only a few come out of that disaster. Imagine the wildlife of Cybertron, we already know insecticons, predacons, maximals taking animal forms, dragons, prehistoric beings… Try to face one like this, a metallic scorpion three times the size of yours, it has the sand in its favor, a My first thought that comes to me is that he has made you his prey and that he is going to be playing with you. Luckily they had military help but if they hadn't…

The next scene with Barricade here is directly g/t fearplay in its purest form. When he transforms in front of Sam and the chase begins, no matter how hard he runs, Barricade was going to catch him. When Sam goes between the car and the robot, that scene blows your mind.

It is also how we see Bumblebee for the first time with the two humans in front, as I mentioned there is a difference between autobot and decepticon. While Barricade treated Sam like a bug, Bumblebee on the other hand has been defending Sam and Mikaela from Barricade. Also the point of view of the camera will show the great fight between two titans and the two little ones at their side fleeing for their lives. After the fight, you see that Bumblebee is calm and talking to Sam, the camera changes when you see the majesty of Bumblebee but you see that he is not going to do any harm.

Already the famous scene of arrival on Earth, this scene hits my biggest hypes of how each Autobot arrives. Optimus in an open field, jazz falling in a stadium, ratchet in a TV store and ironhide in a swimming pool. the jazz comparison on top of the building looking for its vehicle form, the best part is Ironhide when he falls into the pool and you see a little girl approach without any fear and ask him if he is the tooth fairy… That part seemed to me very tender! Some, including myself, would act more out of curiosity than fear, to be honest haha.

When they are all together in that alley, with Optimus transforming for the first time, you see how the camera shows him from head to toe and then you see the transformation of the rest. Imagine being Sam and Mikaela at that moment surrounded by enormous beings without knowing what is going to happen to you, you only know that Bumblebee didn't do anything to you… but what about the rest? When you see Optimus kneel in front of them, the face-to-face contact that occurs between them to see them closer, a different one between Optimus' head and Sam's head, simply fantastic.

I also find it very sweet that Optimus speaks calmly seeing that the two are slowly moving away from the presence. When he continues with the introductions of the rest of the autobots, the part of Ironhide showing that he shouldn't be messed with and Sam swallowing saliva, that's also very good. When he explains the story to them and everyone tells him that those glasses with the only hope focusing on all the autobots looking at Sam and Mikaela is one of the most imposing scenes. I would have acted like Mikaela you better have the glasses.

We arrive at the scene of the autobots in the Witwicky garden… What we see here is Sam trying to convince his father, how to give more pressure? Yes with impatient Optimus Prime lurking into your garden making Sam panic more. I think it's very good seeing how Optimus carefully passes the houses to the garden and you see Bumblbee right next to him looking at Sam making him panic again.

Already when Optimus accidentally destroys Sam's fountain. You see the big guy apologizing, on the other hand I see Sam scolding them as too cute.

The animals won't be spared from this either if Sam doesn't reason with Ironhide about Mojo getting involved there and the words he says, you have a plague of rodents. Remember when I mentioned at the beginning that there are differences in treatment. Ironhide is one of the exceptions where he doesn't see humans the same way as Bumblebee or Optimus. When the autbots start to recognize the area, seeing Bumblebee carefully approach the window is good.

Well for me one of my favorite scenes comes, Mikaela is going to help me by entering with the help of Optimus's servo, when I saw that part I felt a certain tingling that I would like to be you instead of her haha. in such a delicate way that she makes it simply sublime.

And the way he hides, when Optimus returns to the window again, accidentally stepping on the flowers, he reacts with an oops. Sam being nervous, I loved seeing Optimus calming him down as best he can.

Well, when Ratchet ends up colliding with the tension pole, creating an earthquake instantly, Ron's reaction to the earthquake was great on my part, telling Ironhide to join in. The house now completely without light. Solution you tell Ratchet to deploy more lights without suspicion. When the parents go to see what is happening, Optimus sees in the window that Ron was seconds away from catching him. If another earthquake created by the crash.

Another of the best scenes in the movie, how do you hide 5 robots that are bigger than a normal house? The way the 5 bots do it is unique. The smaller Bumblebee and Jazz fit perfectly underneath. Others can hide on one side of the house the case of Ratchet and Ironhide but Optimus how he hides… The most attached and far from the house and occupying a large part of it without destroying it by his body.

The thing is, I don't know how that worked, Ron would have looked elsewhere and would have caught them, especially Optimus.

When Ironhide say eliminate the parents and Optimus have to stop him. that dynamic between a kind giant and a giant who doesn't want to be bothered

The next part is another of my favorite parts, Sam and Mikaela involved in a secret sector of the government. How do you save them? Optimus's big foot stops the vehicle and rips off the roof without further ado. The scene is one of the best, that is, you see the state of panic of everyone in the vehicle while the roof falls.

Taking the children was a mistake. Reaction of Sector 7 taking out the weapons… 2 seconds later taken out of the hands without the possibility of defending themselves. Another of the camera movements showing how big the autobots are compared to humans and when it changes directly to Optimus with the simple act of saying get out of the car… and get out right now, that moment gave me chills.

As Simmons tries to reason with them, as if they were just combat machines, the interrogation telling Sam that he is braver having the aliens on his side and well, the Bumblebee scene, I was laughing my head off at that part, I'm not going to lie haha .

When Sector 7 notifies reinforcements, they see the autobots leave, leaving Optimus with Sam and Mikaela as he extends his servo and the two perfectly fit in his hand to fit on his shoulder. This whole scene sees Optimus being extremely careful with the helicopter, the street (which leaves some damage), without crushing any of the cars and managing to knock them out. Another sign that Optimus prime bayverse is a gentle giant who tries to minimize the damage he does and at the same time protects his companions from being the target.

Where can Optimus find a hiding place? Under a bridge, the bad thing is that it hinders him from moving, I also like how the camera focuses on Optimus's face and seeing how Sam is holding on and Mikaela on his helmet but unfortunately he goes and falls leaving both of them in the air , Optimus unable to do anything to catch them, I found it funny that he used his foot so that at least one of them could hold on.

Bumblebee is a cutie saving them at the last minute. In the next scene you see how they paralyze him and you see that he suffers damage. Sam would have at least tried to defend him even if it were impossible. Show that bond that had been formed between the two.

Also to the size of the objects, the glasses compared to Optimus's servo is also tiny.

The part where Bumblebee continues to be tortured even while carrying the dam. I return again to the comparison of buildings with autobots, it is still something splendid.

When Megatron or NBE1 (as they say XD) is revealed, he is like a giant in imbernation, the moment will come when he awakens and chaos is assured. Now the cube, if the bots are big the cube exceeds all expectations.

The box they use to create minibots catches my attention because of how many attempts they have made… I found the mini Nokia trying to defend itself adorable (yes, I saw it like that XD).

Starscream's first appearance did good honors with a martial turn, ending on the bridge where the humans were running out right now.

If I were Bumblebee, I would also act by targeting the enemies who have tortured me before. But he will still listen to Sam at all times, Sam calming everyone that he is not an enemy.

Already the change of allspark in a small cube see the change and the comparison with Bumblebee to see how small it is. The faces of the rest are priceless.

The awakening of Megatron would be the true terror of when a giant faces several little ones who have no chance, seeing everyone running and fleeing the area.

On the highway you see the two dynamics again on both sides while Bonecrusher destroys even a bus in his path, Optimus on the other hand tries not to damage the vehicles although he tries carefully, and the case that is formed on the highway when those two robots fight, it's scandalous.

When the boy and his mother see the fight between the two up close, it is appreciated… And the boy is so calm saying how cool it is hahaha.

In mission city, this is when I say that I see Ironhide's change regarding his treatment of humans, worrying about when Starscream comes to attack and move the humans away from the missile's impact zone, using a truck as a shield.

When the missile hits, Bumblebee's legs are destroyed. Seeing that Sam tries to calm him down and help him however he can. The phrase "I won't leave you here" and Bumblebee giving him the allspark.

This interaction is so sweet so g/t it shows the pure concern of the little one to the big one.

Now if we talk about Ironhide's martial turn and that human in the middle, you're really freaked out. How they try to avoid Jazz when he is thrown against a building.

When Megatron appears on stage, all the autobots shout retreat to the humans. Taking Jazz with him for you know compared to the bots, Jazz is very small compared to Megatron.

When the rest of the Decepticons arrive: Devastator and Blackout, Lennox's reaction is totally normal, it is impossible to be able to face something like that.

This is when I see Ironhide change completely willing to protect Sam no matter what the cost. As does Ratchet seeing that he has some appreciation for the boy. Instantly protecting you from all attacks coming from the enemy.

I haven't forgotten Mikaela making every possible effort to help Bumblebee to get him out of there no matter what.

Let's not talk about the appearance of Optimus and Megatron flying over buildings and just going through a building.

Here again the differences while Megatron sees them that they do not deserve to live, Optimus I see them from the opposite side, as Megatro prepares to shoot see the perspective from a human's point of view, terrifying and at the same time amazing, see how Optimus flies a building and almost falling on top of some humans.

Watch as Sam simply runs into the building while he is escorted by Ironhide and Ratchet. Until Starscream comes to interrupt the passage.

Now comes one of the parts that is completely g/t fearplay. You have the most powerful item in your world… Running to the objective and a tyrant leader is going after you no matter what is on the way. Imagine that feeling that Sam must have while Megatron does not stop chasing him, even when he is in a building trying to break the floor to reach him.

There is not only a bond between Sam and Bumblebee. the moment Mikaela and Bumblebee going to Devastor. Her driving and Bumblebee shooting is just endearing and very good.

When Sam reaches the roof, her help is no longer useful. Seeing Optimus run towards him to help him.

See on the other hand Megatron leaving Sam on the edge of the abyss, giving him the option of letting him live as a pet… Seeing how Sam is stubborn and does not accept. This scene is quite fun for those who like challenges haha.

He ends up falling and in the hands of Optimus again. Seriously, that bot has to have something to do with holding something on his servos. Protecting him from the fall as he can.

Again the double difference between autobots and decepticons. While Optimus hasn't taken his hand off of him throughout the fall to protect Sam, we see that Megatron on the other hand says that a human is disgusting and throws him away.

Watching the moment of no sacrifice no victory and seeing how Sam and Optimus' bond deepens looks just beautiful.

Already Lennox's revenge when he shoots Blackout from below… finally giving him the victory of seeing that robot no longer rise.

Never trust Jet, you could be hidden starscream, the simple fact of how he plays with them and destroys them, you freak out.

When everyone is paralyzed and you see Megatron go towards Sam so that Optimus can trip him, the camera there seemed wonderful to me.

See how Megatron approaches to retrieve the cube, finishing off Sam and begging him to put allspark in his chest. See how Sam deals with doing that but with Megatron. As Optimus approaches Megatro and sees Sam right next to him and then kneels and says that he is in debt to him.

Already seeing all the bots together with the humans, looking at poor Jazz and Optimus thanking everyone for the help. See how Bumblebee and Sam already have a link between them.

It is also curious to see how they get rid of the fallen Decepticons with several helicopters and humans throwing the parts into the sea.

Optimus' speeches show how Ironhide also has something with Lennox. Everyone transforming except him to see the comparison with the sunset, wonderful.

I think that's all I've been able to see and comment on, if you want to add a note or something I'm missing, I'll be happy to accept it ^^.

Shattered Bay Part 5!

[Masterlist]

You can really tell the gap in quality from the first like 6 pages to the last 3 or 4 because of the 6 month gap between making them haaaaaaaa

[monocle-teacup]

Schloder in Bayverse?

-He'd become a legend mostly because he'd be teaming up with Simmons. Not sure the fabric of the Bayverse would be able to withstand the chaos that would ensue. The amount of sheer commitment these two have to their missions would pretty much make them an unstoppable force. They'd destroy anything that would stand against them and narrowly miss killing each other constantly.

-Schloder would of course would to try and show OP his playlists, but OP doesn't have time for that.

-Would claim he can understand Bumblebee

-"Insurance policies on buildings must be expensive here."

[sepublic]

            I guess while we’re on the subject of the Nizziverse, I should eventually acknowledge our human protagonists.

         Firstly, let me get this out of the way: The military’s involvement (and glorification) in the Bayverse is going to be GREATLY rolled back in the Nizziverse. They’ll still play some bit of a role, inevitably, but I definitely want to avoid the propaganda bordering on satire they delivered. I’m keeping Lennox and Epps tho because they’re cool, but otherwise, the less military, the better, is my philosophy.

         I should also confess that. I don’t like Sam Witwicky. I kind of hate him in fact. Yeah, there are times where I can make myself enjoy his character and laugh AT him, probably with more malice than intended by the creators. But in the end, I don’t like a lot of what this dude represents and kinda stands for, if you get what I mean; Particularly, the assumptions that come with him being a mediocre “everyman”.

         But that just gets into who the new human protagonist is, and I might just make it Carly Spencer? If not a deeply-revised Sam. I say this because Carly’s role was so clearly written as the culmination of Mikaela’s arc, the script was written before Megan Fox left the cast, and it makes her scene with Megatron a lot more impactful as someone who’s actually had that history and experience with him. Plus, it just sucks to have her disappear for no reason.

         Likewise, her name is Mikaela Banes, but I’m changing it to Kayla Barnes; Her entire name is a spin on Michael Bay’s, which given his treatment of Megan Fox, gross. So I’ve shortened Mikaela into just Kayla (which will sometimes be Kay), and Banes became Barnes, because I legit misremembered her last name as such, so why not? Still, if Kayla Barnes is taking back the role meant for her in Dark of the Moon, where does that leave Carly?

         Well. She IS a reference to a G1 protagonist, girlfriend of Spike Witwicky, who even became his wife and had a kid with him during the time skip! She’s an OG, a classic concept. So yeah, I might just make a revised Carly the human protagonist of the first three arcs of the Nizziverse.

         I’m keeping Cade Yeager, I like him enough, though I am considering inserting Isaac Sumdac in his role for Age of Extinction, since he’s an inventor, AoE already has a very meta reference to Sumdac’s backstory when it comes to Megatron’s revival via KSI, etc. Also because I just like the dude, but! I do like Cade, so maybe Isaac will be the protagonist of Age of Extinction, and then Cade takes over in The Last Knight. A sort of anthological approach to things, since I love anthology casts, with recurring members. The Bayverse kinda maybe sorta did that, so I might roll with that here. 

        And/or, Isaac will be in Age of Extinction, but as a KSI engineer who has to deal with Joshua Joyce. By extension, Sari HAS to be there, which if Isaac takes Cade’s role, she obviously takes Tessa’s, but if not, then I guess that’s an entirely new role inserted into the story. Either way, I want the Sumdacs in AoE.

         And yeah, I’m totally keeping Seymour Simmons, he was pretty funny, certain problematic bits aside which I’ll of course excise in the Nizziverse. In Revenge of the Fallen, he does his whole spiel about how he was abandoned by his country, and after playing a minor yet decent role in the final battle, decides to himself that maybe he doesn’t need the approval of a country… Just in time for the U.S. to praise Simmons for his heroism, and he immediately turns around and eats it all up, leading into Dark of the Moon.

         Also, Dylan Gould! I dunno why, I just kinda liked this dude when I first saw him, and found sympathetic traits that probably weren’t intended. Granted, some of that sympathy will be taken away since in the Nizziverse, his dad never passed down his dealings with Soundwave down to him (because Soundwave didn’t arrive on Earth until AFTER the Allspark was busted), meaning Dylan mostly chose to work with the Decepticons.

         But then, maybe they forcibly approached Gould and made it clear he had to work to survive, anyhow? He’s an inexplicable fave. Maybe his coerced obedience morphs into some strange, genuine admiration of Cybertronians as superior to humanity, and a real desire to serve his ‘masters’, even going out of the way to alert the Decepticons of the Autobot presence in the Battle of Chicago. Megatron actually takes him seriously and then so does even Soundwave? Huh. Also, no weird ‘love triangle’ or whatever about our protagonist feeling threatened by Gould’s presence in taking the girlfriend away.

         All in all, the human presence will def be rolled back in favor of Transformer screentime. From a Doylist perspective, I understand why humans take up the majority of screentime, as CGI is expensive. However, the Nizziverse isn’t ever going to be actually animated, plus… Well, I have my own ideas I’ll discuss later.

Transformers: Mosaic #322 - "Pretender"

wada sez: A strip with an edgy take on what Pretenders might be like in the live-action film continuity (predating Alice), starring Carnivac. According to Canales: "the story is set in the New Mexico desert, classic UFO-spotting place. And since there are no wolves in that part of the american geography (believe it or not, I looked it up!), I thought i'd be more probable that he disguised himself as a puma/cougar."

YOUNG BESS

1953

Young Bess is a historic film based on the life of Elizabeth I, from her childhood to becoming Queen of England. The film is based on the novel Young Bess (1944) by Margaret Irwin. Janet Leigh tested for the lead role and Elizabeth Taylor was also considered. Filming was postponed as it was negotiating with James Mason. The role went to Jean Simmons and her husband Stewart Granger who appeared alongside her. Filming kept being on hold due to Simmons having a contract dispute with Howard Hughes. Charles Laughton signed to play Henry VIII, who he also played in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933).

The film stars Jean Simmons (Elizabeth I), Stewart Granger (Thomas Seymour), Charles Laughton (Henry VIII), and Elaine Stewart (Anne Boleyn).

She is the first Chinese model to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the first East Asian spokesmodel for Estée Lauder cosmetics, and the first Asian model to ever make Forbes magazine's annual highest-paid models list, the first to be featured on the front cover of Vogue, the first person of Chinese descent to appear three times on Vogue.
