Transformers: The Last Knight Review

Hey, this is Frank Todaro, otherwise known as

Starscream, and you're listening to the Geekcast

Radio Network. Starscream here, and I am Lord

and Master of all things Transformers. Don't

tell Megatron. This is Optimus Prime, and you're

listening to all things Transformers. know what

I don't know what changed I don't know if it's

time I don't know if it's the fact that movies

today just suck boy am I glad I hit the record

button because I mean totally dude I don't know

like I don't understand why I didn't mind this

one mm -hmm I mean other than quintessa yeah

I loved the callbacks yeah to the past four films.

Yeah. My only wish was, and maybe this is because

we've seen Kingdom and what Kingdom did, but

my only wish was for Nemesis to be a separate,

like you could still have Peter do the voice,

but for something Optimus would have to fight,

Not something he like she brainwashed him Don't

don't do the brainwashing optimus is not it Well,

he was a zombie 40 years ago at one point when

they tried to but no don't brainwash him make

it a separate evil villain again Yeah Megatron

like okay great. He's he's Back to being Megatron

fine. No Galvatron. Whatever fine fine fine fine

but In the end, Megatron ends up helping them,

doesn't he? Like, they all come together to stop

Quintessa. Like, what the fuck? Like, I get it,

you're trying to stop the - oh boy. I'm going

to try to - I mean, most of our episodes on these

are short, so. But I'm going to try - oh my god.

I just don't - I don't know. It started as a

legend. One of the greatest of all. A thousand

years we've kept it hidden. To protect Earth

from what was destined to arrive. Optimus Prime.

You destroyed your home. Do you seek redemption?

Your daughter. What would you say to her? Brush

your teeth, work hard. Stay away from any boy

in a band, especially a drummer. These are troubled

times. Without leaders, chaos reigns. Two worlds

colliding. You're all that stand in its way.

And now the greatest mission of them all. To

turn the tide of human history. Frank, stop!

You can't do this! The imminent destruction of

everything we know and love begins. All seems

lost. A few brave souls can save everything we've

ever known. The operation is over. We're not

giving up on crime, okay? I want to stay and

I want to fight them. For my world to live. Yours

must die. This August, All Things Transformers

will celebrate 15 years of being online. And

now, our full film reviews of the Transformers

live -action films continue. This time around,

we faced the Transformers last nights of Unicron.

I'm Steve Megatron, and joining me on this winter

of Bayhem is TFG1 Mike. Hello. I made it in one

take. So did I, but I was surprised I made it

at all. Yeah, I mean in in there were there were

a lot of good points and a lot of bad points

a lot of stuff that was just plot convenience

to move things along Because they kind of wrote

themselves into a corner like I don't know what

to do man. This is kind of you know Yeah So The

last night like I said in previous episodes on

this podcast and in the other episodes of the

winter of Bayham I don't remember the first like

I remember sort of the first 10 minutes of this

but as I was watching this I Was not going to

do a Twitter thread for this movie like I did

with Age of Extinction like I did with Dark of

the Moon or but I started one and I said New

thread final thread transformers live -action

films when the last night came out I only made

it just past the first 10 minutes of it. Let's

see if I can watch the whole thing second Thing

in the thing I've made it past the first ten

minutes and my statement before about never making

it past the first ten minutes Apparently I never

made it past the first Arthur. It was like the

first five minutes I could not get past the Arthurian

legend battle the Thankfully I can fast -forward

that yeah, I understand that but like I'm an

Arthurian yeah But I'm an authoritarian guy.

I'm somebody who likes the King Arthur legend.

I'm someone who grew up watching Disney's Sword

in the Stone. Oh, yeah, same here. And other

things to do with. So I like that. And the fact

that when you first sent me this, when it was

still in theaters years and years and years ago,

somehow through the magic of the Cybernetic Space

Cube, you gave me a copy of the... Like, I just

stopped it. As soon as I... Start like it wasn't

doing anything for me back in 2017. Oh my god.

It's been six years since this movie and Today

literally I just finished this as we're recording

this I finished it maybe about two hours ago

and I Didn't get lost in the plug I didn't misunderstand

the plot I didn't get lost in the plot like I

did a little bit with Age of Extinction But at

the same time I felt myself Watching the clock

more with this movie than any of the others to

this point the other ones I went back and I watched

them and I just watched them to watch them to

Re -experience the film this movie. I was experiencing

the film literally for the first time but at

the same time I'm like Looking at my blank wrist

with no watch on it. Okay the the left freckle

moves in the right -handed clockwise whatever

like when's this gonna be over i i was checking

the timer on on my voodoo app all the time to

see how long how much more of this do i have

and it has nothing to do with any of the characters

like this is probably the first film where i

enjoyed 90 of the human characters i can't believe

i'm saying that but yeah I think the only thing

that was missing from this was Epps. Yeah, I

would have liked Epps. And sadly enough, the

way that this film kind of was a collage of actors

from the previous four, it would have been nice

to have Sam Witwicky in it. I like the reference.

I know that's a poll. I know that's a poll. Yeah.

But I feel like there was too much It was taking

itself too seriously Yeah throughout the film

it needed between you know his kind of sarcastic

antics and the Information from you know and

of him plus Having apps kind of going. Oh, no,

not this crap again, you know And he plays really

well off of dash of Josh Dumas. Yeah, so Yeah,

and that's funny you say that that this was too

serious because we've been saying for the last

four no, but like I'm like I find like We've

said things about these movies that we never

thought we would ever say and I just find it

hilarious that we've been like Clamoring for

no more ice cream twins. No more stupid comedy.

No more this no more and I think it's the stupid

comedy I don't like in these films like it's

if I wanted if I wanted 90s Comedy like ace Ventura

and things like that. I'd watch those I don't

really like it doesn't have a place in in this

because you've you've got You know, you got your

basically GI Joe with different names in this

every time. Yeah, you have your transformers

you have You know various other Franchises kind

of sprinkled in here. You got some fast and the

furious. I mean because there's a lot of car

chases I mean, they're showcasing a lot of stuff

for Chevy and a lot of other car brands, you

know, as it gets later in the series. But no,

I mean, I'm I'm kind of torn. Like it's. I think

if there was less of the Fast and the Furious

in it. Or less like, I don't know, some of the.

The human interactions we get kind of feel like

a waste of time. And it's funny you say that

because this is the first film where I feel like

other than one moment The dinner the last meal

under the sea was the first time I groaned at

the humans All the other like Kate isn't just

there to protect his daughter from her boyfriend

or whatever, you know, he's there to You know,

whatever and I I thought he and Lennox would

come to be on the same side a lot faster than

what they did, but I liked that they were eventually

on the same side. And I was surprised that Lennox

even showed up. I was like, oh. I was too. And

I forgot he was even in it. I seriously was like,

what is going on? Because at the beginning, Merlin

caught me because I'm like, that's Stanley Tucci.

Yeah. And he was in the last film. Yeah. And

I feel like they were trying to figure out how

to bring people back for this film without really

bringing them back. And then and then we got,

you know, Anthony Hopkins. And I was like, OK,

cool. And then I find out he's the last order

of the Witwickens. Yes, that was. And I'm like,

oh, my goodness. Like it's almost bad as the

transform anium or transforming him in the last

film. Like I kind of like for these is terrible.

Yeah, I kind of laughed at the Witwickens, though,

because it's a way of throwing that name, the

Witwicky name, into the film without needing

to have to have or try to have Sam or... Well,

and I want to say during the time of this film,

he'd kind of gone nuts. I think so, yeah. And

that's probably why they didn't have him back.

And I'm sure they probably would have. But yeah.

I did I you know anytime Anthony Hopkins shows

up. It's it's awesome and then Yeah And then

and then seeing Agent Simmons return. Yes, I

was like, okay. He was absent the last movie,

but then he's in this one and I was like, okay

I'm kind of fine with that like he's more on

a you know Oh showing up for a consultant role.

Yeah. Which I was completely fine with. Yeah.

And then Santos, the Transformers reaction force,

Santiago Cabrera, he actually is in season one

and two of Star Trek Picard. Oh, wow. He plays

Captain Rios. Oh, interesting. Cool. So when

I saw him and I heard him talk at first before

I saw him, I was like, oh, yeah, it's Rios. So

it was kind of funny and then more shower having

him back was cool. Yeah, and then Lennox Lennox

was probably one of the best parts of the military

Aspects in the previous films and our kind of

even though he died in the first one came back

in the second the third Kind of facilitates that

you know base of operations guy. Yeah Yeah, I

always liked him And it's funny that they just

named his character after the actor for some

odd reason. I don't know why, but it is what

it is. But I always liked Glenn Morschauer and

I was trying to remember and figure out where

I had initially seen him from. Now he's been

acting since his first film was in 1976 in Drive

-In. He was in Tango and Cash. He was in a bunch

he was in oh He was in 24. Yeah. Well, that's

what I'm getting to I'm in the middle of the

the movie stuff on Wikipedia. He was in 24, but

Interesting. I do not remember this but you probably

will mr. Star Trek. He was the enterprise be

navigator in Generations 1994 he had hair. Yeah

That's yeah Yeah, and like you said, he was he

was Aaron Pierce, the the president's advisor,

whatever the hell, in 24. And that's really where

I first met him as an actor was in that series

on 24. So but I just I like that guy. I like

I like his style. I just like everything about

him. And then we then we had other callbacks

to the previous films. We got Wheely. Mm hmm.

He's back. Yep. And then Wasn't cog man one of

them or no, he's no he's new. Okay No, I was

thinking brain Yeah brains is But yeah, I mean

it was kind of cool seeing a lot of the other

ones come back then they had you know, of course

hot rod they have Cogman they have day trader

which Steve Buscemi just that was just funny

Yeah, it was then you have Bulldog lieutenant

and then you know trench and the Alliance Autobot.

Yes. But yeah, and then Megatron having only

Barricade. Mm -hmm. Oh, but Barricade looked

so good. He did, too. And I was kind of like,

okay, this is neat. And then Megatron was in

typical Megatron fashion, which I liked. But

all of his, all of his Decepticons were horrible.

Yeah, and then he's like looking at Starscream's

head like oh, okay, you know You were once so

treacherous or whatever it is that he says mmm.

Yeah, it's just yeah and So I mean it It was

nice in some areas They also tried to squeeze

in some funny names with like Infernicus Yeah,

I like inferno. Yeah, I know. I know. But like

I think they jumped the shark, though, when they

started going back to Cybertron for the quintessence

thing for the unicorn. I think at that point,

it got too far fetched. Like I felt like they

kind of pigeonholed themselves trying to fit

themselves into this. Way of finding a new McGuffin

for each film. Yeah. Like the first one was the

the cube y 'all spark. Yeah, the second one was

the matrix Yeah, and then the third one was the

you know, the planet transformer or transporter

Yeah, the pylons and all that the fourth one

was You know the bounty hunter. Yeah, and then

this one it's about you know capturing prime

and you know harvesting resources from earth

and bringing unicorn so There really was nowhere

else to go after this film. Oh no, I mean there's

- Once you bring in Unicron, that's kind of the

end. But they didn't technically bring him in

because there was supposed to be another film,

a third film for this part of the thing that

never got made. They obviously rebooted because

- you know the financial the financial flop of

losing a hundred million oh i'm sorry we lost

a hundred million dollars we did we didn't and

look yeah i get it as a movie this movie if you

look at it as an action movie on a whole the

plot is it's not all over the place but it has

so many things going on like it's like you're

on the bridge of the enterprise and then you

have Seven hallways ABC basically the entire

alphabet of ships kind of thing, but they're

all like mishmash together and I Don't know like

the dragon thing whatever the the dragon was

I don't remember if that was the the Inferno

cons or whatever but but like that was weird

to me like I remember the the images and whatever

else the promo images of oh it looks like optimus

prime is fighting a dragon don't we all see optimus

primal fight a dragon because hello you know

um yeah i just i just watched this to be able

to say that i could watch it like i said land

like you said we like i enjoyed certain things

about it but The most things I enjoyed out of

this was some of the stuff that the humans did

more than the robots did this time, which is

weird, because every other movie, what have we

been saying? We like the robot stuff we could

do without the human stuff, which is what we've

been saying for the last almost 40 years in Transformers.

But the robot stuff in this was like, OK, it's

there. I love the effects. I love the sound.

I love the music. That's all great, fine, well,

whatever. That's all excellent, as always. There

was just way too much. It was so it was so little

Transformers in it. Yeah, it was it was like

they were an afterthought They were like, let's

shoot an action movie with world's world ending

stakes. Mm -hmm and You know not Not have the

Transformers until the last minute. Yeah, and

I Don't care if he likes the accent hot rod is

not French Hot Rod should not sound like a Frenchman.

I have nothing against French people at all,

whatever, but that ca - oh god. It didn't ruin

my childhood, but it was just bad. Yeah, I wasn't

a fan of any of the new robots in this film.

Yeah, I like - okay. Other than like Anthony

Hopkins robot that kicked the fish and Yeah,

the the butler robot yeah the butler robot, but

I mean Yeah, but I mean like even that like I

was like, okay. This is just ridiculous in Okay,

so the the robots that I did like I Thought it

was so funny and I thought they were only gonna

use this this time. I didn't realize they were

gonna have They were still going to have Grimlock

and Slug, the full size ones. But I love the

mini Dinobots. I thought that was so cool because

it's like, hey, here's your toys, kids. But they

had more character in them. The mini Dinobots

had more character than the big Dinobots did.

And it was cool that they brought, you know Grimlock

back and but I mean he was just relegated to

like all right Puppy get back to your you know,

like Dino from Flintstones. It's like they didn't

know what to do And again the reason why they

didn't know what to do with them is because they're

doing way too much like yes, this does have a

central plot line of quintessa wanting to destroy

earth in order for Cybertron to live. That is

a central plot. That is the central plot. But

there's so much going on around that that characters

get lost and characters are just there to be

there. And then when they were going through

the ship, you know, underwater, I felt like Rat

Trap, you know, going through the going through

the axel on trying to find Sentinel. Yep. I was

like, okay, this is kind of cool and reminiscent

of that. I didn't mind some of the things that

were in the film. I loved the callbacks. I loved

every time that they called back to the other

films in the franchise. However, like you said,

they were trying way too hard on not only the

Transformers themselves, but on the human plot.

They were adding way too many things. They were

all of these explosions, all of these things

happening. The the military the TRF agents in

the submersible, you know crashing into the side

of the you know, the sidewalls just every little

thing that they were adding in Graphically and

and all of these things that they probably could

have just skipped See, I don't understand why

and I'm trying to make sure that I figure this

out. So TRF is that For Transformers reaction

force, right? I understand that part of it. I'm

not worried. I'm not worried about the our acronym

I'm trying to figure out is it's oh it it's it

is US military Okay, yeah, see I thought it's

a it's a can like you had sector 7 then you had

you know sector former nest personnel like more

shower in Lennox yeah, and then nest became you

know kind of was shoved to the wayside because

of Frasier Having his his his top -secret program

then nest was shelved, you know into The TRF

and Well, I don't find it I liked the nest name

better. Yeah Yeah, I mean this definitely has

more of a military look to it than nested But

I think nest was just a better naming convention.

Yeah as far as I mean the logo in it was kind

of lame but I liked because nest was non -biological

extraterrestrial species treaty so I get that

they kind of broke the treaty so that's why nest

doesn't exist and yeah yeah yeah I get the whole

but my problem isn't with the name or the acronym

or any of that my problem was with you have the

trf and then you have lennox and more shower

and apparently Lennox is supposed to be undercover

or just shadowing these like the way it seems

to me and I know I'm wrong in this now that I

see that it was also a part of the US military

in the film is that I thought TRF was separate

from the US military like they were I'm not saying

they were French military or, you know, they

obviously weren't MI6 because they mentioned

MI6 was in this as well. So like, I thought they

were kind of, it's kind of like how you'd have

like, I don't know, a different unit separate

from the US stuff. And that's what I thought

they were that. Linux and more shower kind of

like yeah, just just lead them to where they

need to be kind of sort of but don't really and

and that's why I thought that oh well Kade and

Lennox should come, you know be heroes together

sooner But then you have this TRF stuff, which

apparently he was a part of he wasn't doing what

the TRF was doing He was trying to show them

but that TRF leader man He's like, yeah, they're

all bad doesn't matter and Lennox just turns

to him looks at him. He's like no, they're not

all bad Like there are some of the robots that

are our friends our allies or whatever like I

don't know the whole like I think that's like

like I mentioned last episode where I got confused

with the overall plot of the fourth film this

one is where I got confused is where the where

TRF even comes into play because You know at

the end of the day Lennox wants to do the right

thing and the TRF leader dude, whatever his name

is didn't really care like You know It's just

Disjointed is what I would say is really what

I would say about it. You know, I Again, I like

this movie. I like this is probably my favorite

Megatron past Past you like this is my favorite

Megatron out of the two that Megatron that Frank

has voiced Megatron because you can actually

hear His his Megatron and it's kind of primed

Megatron a little bit which is and he changed

and he changed his his transformation Mm -hmm,

which was great. Like he went back to his his

flight mode, you know, and and then Megatron

of course, you know getting I I would I would

assume that he got his spark back Yeah, by now

because he's not a lifeless void and he's staying

more I noticed that their transformation is more

modular now and how they transform. Yep but then

there's the I loved what they did to be like

they blew him up and I'm like This was straight

out of the original Marvel comics. Yeah They

like where the the GI Joe destroyed like blew

up and obliterated bumblebee and then he comes

and they rebuilt him his gold bug, but in this

like he had the the tech that You know he he

was able to throw himself back together And so

I thought that was really neat and Then we have

You know where prime is flailing and ripping

him apart and then bumblebee after the fight

is like like back to normal. Yeah Yeah, that

was fun. The only creepy thing about this film

was that like Cybertronian snake like thing that

went on Cade Oh Yeah, his his his little wrist

thing Yeah that was and it kept like cycling

around his body and then like they made a point

out of showing it go down his shirt down his

pants and like Yeah, she even says it just went

down your pants. Yeah, and I think that was meant

and I could be wrong I'm I don't know. I don't

know what they were whatever in the writers room

or in the creators whatever but I think that

was meant to be obviously some sort of love scene

or well not really but like it Yeah, it's part

of all that thing and of course, it's Dirk Diggler.

I mean, come on. I half expected him to start

singing the touch even though he doesn't. And

then where he pumps it up at the end and they're

about to kill Prime and he's like, no. And then

the thing shoots out and becomes a sword. so

I was wondering as I watched this film what was

going to like they kept mentioning the talisman

the talisman the talisman and Then I figured

it out. I'm like, oh right That's not because

by by the time that this was happening by the

time his whole The the the shirtless scene with

him and her I was like, okay, and this thing

keeps attaching to his wrist and whatever else.

And then he gets the courage of the whatever

and it turns into the sword Excalibur. So basically

he was wielding King Arthur's sword. It's not

just any sword. This is, so I'm like, okay, so

that's how they got Excalibur for way back way

in the, in the Arthurian days to present day.

Okay. That, that, that kind of work. Cause I

was like, okay, talisman, what's it going to

do? like other than like you know attached to

his arm or crawl over his body or like oh that's

well okay that works that that that kind of hit

for me a little bit um let's see i yeah you know

you say there's too much fast and furious here

with all the cars and i know you're which is

weird you're from michigan you think you'd be

a car guy but you're not uh not really um Liked

all that I liked seeing the cars more than I

liked seeing the robot like those car scenes

were cool The car chases were cool to me because

it had been a while since we've really seen a

good Transformers car chase because I know they

did some of it in the fourth film But not enough

and and I like that still my favorite care my

favorite robot character in these last two movies

Hound steals the show Yeah Mean how and I I love

John Goodman in this. Yep. He's just he's just

spectacular. Yep Yeah, he really is like he like

as much as I love the original voice actor in

the original characterization from generation

one This is my hound This is who they need to

get if they ever put hound back in an animated

series is get John back on the mic for hound

because Wow, so good So good so good Was there

anything in here that That didn't like I know

I know we like quintessa isn't really like I

really wish they would have like with all that

you know, we've mentioned on Twitter in the past

between recording the last episode in this episode

how bad the CGI was in the last couple of movies

and Wish they would have done more with the quintesson

thing with quintessa I wish instead of making

her and having her put optimus under a spell

like I said before I wish they would have done

the five faces of darkness. I wish they would

have done something specific That would really

really rake us into oh, this is generation one

Not that we didn't already know it was generation

one, but you know what I mean Mm -hmm something

more than just a bought whole bag Waiting for

you know, you know her I am Optimus Prime and

I am calling all bought whole bags from the planet

Cybertron We are here we are whole bags yes,

yes And I don't like the cliffhanger Mm -hmm

because I know we're not gonna get it like understand

but like I like the fact that it's her disguised

as a huge like again we mentioned back in where

I'm probably gonna where was the pretender was

it in revenge or darker it was revenge revenge

okay yeah like I like Quintessa disguising herself

as a human I think that's cool I think that's

great You know, and she's like, oh, don't touch

his horn. He doesn't like that. You know, like

unicorn doesn't like he doesn't like his horn.

He doesn't like people touching his horn. So

don't touch his horn, folks. It would have been

interesting to see where that would have gone.

And for me. This whole plot of Earth being Unicron

was done much better in the prime cartoon because

you actually had a voice of Unicron and the actor

John Noble was the voice of Unicron in the prime

cartoon and this whole thing of the Earth is

really an evil planet kind of like saying that

all us humans are evil compared to the robots

but the robots do some really really bad shit

too, you know. I don't know. Again, I know we're

not gonna get that now. We're gonna get, you

know, we got Bumblebee, which is technically

its own thing, sort of, and all that, and we're

getting Rise of the Beasts and whatever else.

Just to kind of close it out, because I do want

to go into some of the upcoming stuff. I do have

the overall film franchise. I've got the next

three, or the next two, and then the potential

future. So, last night... Any final thoughts

and what would be your rating sir? Final thoughts

not as bad as I remember but definitely not a

Transformers film You know, this one was very

more military which is I guess okay Surprisingly,

it's not even directed by well, it is directed

by Michael Bay. It's his last one. Aha That's

why this was his last one. He wanted to put as

much military as he could. Well, no, it was his

last one because And flopped. And people crapped

on it so hard that he was like, yeah, I'm not

doing another one of these. Rating for you, 0

to 5? I'm going to give it a 2 .5. I'm going

to give it a 2. The callbacks were good enough

for me, but the only reason it got the 0 .5.

The callbacks were good, and I liked a lot of

the human stuff, but at the end of the day, there

was too much. Yes, the plot, like I mentioned

earlier, and I know folks, I repeat myself a

lot, like I mentioned earlier, the plot did go

from A to B to C to whatever. However, everything

surrounding the plot was overstimulation. two

and two and a half out of five. You guys can

click on the GCR Universal Rating System link

in the show notes to see what all that means.

And yeah, I think we're going to take a quick

break. You're near some ads and some other stuff.

We'll come back with the future of the franchise.

On the Simplistic Reviews podcast, we talk movies.

We talk TV. We talk - Hello, Julie, what the

heck are you doing? Trying to make our spots

sound more exciting by adding explosions. Yeah,

I'm pretty sure you could've got the point across

with sound effects, not the real thing. The car,

the car. Download the show on iTunes or at simplisticreviews

.blogspot .com. I'm sure your insurance company

will cover that. No, they won't. No, they probably

won't. Alright, we're back here on All Things

Transformers, so Rise of the Beasts is coming

this June 9th, 2023. Looks okay -ish, I guess?

I don't know, like the trailers, they are kind

of getting me excited, but I still don't know,

like, what the overall... is for this one so

I guess I'm excited for that I'm excited to see

you know Optimus Primal and and all that and

see what happens to and of course with this movie

which wow that's crazy We have three non -speaking

roles for Rise of the Beasts. Bumblebee's back

to a non -speaking Autobot scout, so no. Why?

I don't know! That's so stupid! Yeah! Make the

Autobot talk! Yeah, exactly. And then Cheetor

has no, like, he's non -speaking, and then Freezer,

who's a Terrakon who transforms into weapon artillery

for Scourge, and his fellow Terrakons. Okay,

so Freezer doesn't technically need a voice,

but Cheetor and Bumblebee. Hey everybody, this

is Dan Gilvazan, voice of G1 Bumblebee, and you're

listening to All Things Transformers. Be sure

to check out All Things Transformers with Steve

Megatron and TFG1 Mike. And, you know, I'm kind

of glad that David Soboloff gets to come back

as Rhinox, even though that wasn't his original

voice in Beast Wars. And he also voices Battletrap

in Rise of the Beasts. But yeah, I I Don't know

and I just and I know Ron Perlman played primal

before but No, I'm just playing no not that I

have a problem with him I know it's not yeah,

it's not him. It's it's the people casting the

role which they're like It's like Gary Chalk

and Stan Bush should start a club So we got Rise

of the Beast coming this this year and then later

Which is weird and I know this is the this is

this will be the the new Animated movie, but

in 2024 we have a new generation This is going

to be directed by Josh Cooley It's an animated

prequel film So yay, it's gonna be animated Explore

the relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron

separate and apart From what has been portrayed

in the live -action films. I'm like almost scared.

Yeah, me too And then the future is supposedly

rise of the beast sequels and then there's oh

This is what it was. Okay, so originally the

Untitled Transformers last night sequel was supposed

to be June 28th of 2019, but because it you know,

whatever but according to D Bonaventura He did

confirm that another film referred to as Transformers

7 is still in development Of course that was

as of March of 2021 Which I assume they've been

marketing rise of the beasts as Transformers

7. So I assume The last night sequel thing is

is kind of done Obviously since there because

rise of the beasts like the way that I've read

this online as bumblebee is kind of its own thing

but this first rise of the beasts is the first

in a new line of Films, so we'll see what happens.

I'm excited to see rise of the beast just to

see it Just to I I like the different people

that are doing the stuff like I liked Travis

night doing bumblebee. I like the fact that Stephen

What's -his -name is doing rise of the beasts.

So who knows I guess we will see Anything else

you want to bring up anything this will kind

of be we're not gonna do another all things transformers

folks for a little bit but as of this recording

Steve Megatron is Going somewhere for the next

ten days or so Any any final thoughts any anything

you want to say to the people or just whatever

you want to say? No, just excited to see What

we're gonna talk about next and you know, of

course whether Whether the next Transformers

film is gonna suck or not We shall see yes it

may suck but at least it won't suck With a z

zuck get it zuck zuck zuck her burg. Oh boy Yeah,

so let me ask you this last night Would you rather

watch that again or would you rather watch bot

-bots again? Oh This in a heartbeat. What? Oh,
