Gobots came first, although they were not as successful... Is it not worth noting (I looked through several responses, but by no means all) that Transformers is the actual knockoff?

Where do you think all the effects are going to go in a GO-BOTS movie, into the bots? Hell, no. Into the whale-related beating in the first two minutes of the film. The first twenty if the credits sequence is long enough. Gimp - Regarding the bullies whaling on the kid… yes. Where do you think all the effects are going to go in a GO-BOTS movie, into the bots?

It had one of the most obvious and anti-climactic climaxes I have ever seen. To refresh, the whiney brat who's last name I'm pretty sure is french for "the beef" has this cube and optimus prime, beaten, is begging him "put the cube in my chest". The beef then turns around and sticks it in Megatron's chest, and we're done. All the fights and overused badassness is rendered useless with a 10 second act that was completely obvious to everyone (except apparently optimus prime and megatron... the fools). Also just watching it I felt like Bay was mocking us. The whole movie is based entirely on special effects and that's not what I pay to see a movie for. Give me plot, substance, wit, drama. If the best you got is GM pimping their rides and turning a truck into a computer manufactured cheesy idiot, I'll just watch it illegally online. Does that answer suffice? Jrq,

The plot DID make no goddamn sense. Magic codes burnt into glasses? taking this magical mystery object that all the evil robots want into a CITY for safe keeping? The humour was forced and unfunny. Pissing robots, hilarious. We're not 9 years old. Sure a transformers movie should be fun for kids, but you can do that without insulting toilet humour. it would have been so EASY to make a fun movie with this premise that everyone could enjoy on some level. While it wasn't as bad as it could have been, the squandered potential was infuriating for anyone who was even a vague fan of the source material. jrq:
