Elite -1: Why does B have a gag?
Story
The untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies but once friends, united as brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever. Chris Hemsworth, Keegan-Michael Key, Brian Tyree Henry and director Josh Cooley discuss the true nature of the Transformers and what led them to travel to Cybertron. The original name Megatron D-16 is a reference to the Japanese serial number of the original first-generation Megatron toy, released by Takara in 1984. The letter D is short for Destron, the Japanese name for the Decepticons used in older media, while the number 16 indicated the original Megatron toy as the sixteenth release in the Japanese toy line. When the Iacon 5000 pilots transform for the race, the purple Transformer jet already has a pair of red light effects floating behind it, released from whatever, before transforming into a jet.
Shockwave: He wouldn’t stop talking
Elita -1: Even when he was unconscious? Shockwave: ESPECIALLY when he was unconscious! There are two walls in the credits that you should pay attention to. One is in the middle of the credits, showing Badasitron, and the other shows Megatron at the end of the credits. Several international releases of the film (including the UK) were edited to cut Orion’s “twisted fingers” a few seconds earlier, as well as changing any reference to Bee’s “knife hands” to refer to them as “sword hands”.
The writing is excellent!
Paramount likely pre-edited the film for the indicated territories. Featured in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Theaters Fighting Trolls (2020). If I Fall by Brian Tyler, Quavo (as Quavious Keyate Marshall), Ty Dolla $ign (as Tyrone “Ty Dolla $ign” Griffin, Jr.) & Nicholas James McGuinnFeat.: Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign & Are We Dreaming Producer: Are We DreamingQuano courtesy of Quality Control Music/Motown RecordsTy Dolla $ign courtesy of Atlantic Recording Corporation. The animation is great. And the voice acting is top notch.
In addition to the main characters
There are plenty of Easter eggs that will be popular with longtime fans. There are new story elements that change the history of the Transformers franchise, but feel organic and more polished than previous origin stories. Cybertron before the Civil War is beautifully portrayed. We are introduced to a planet that contains both technological and organic life. You will see familiar faces throughout the film.
The film is simply wonderful
Thanks to the writers, producers and actors. I can’t wait to watch it again!
