Ugh, the energy axe was so tacky, even in MTMTE. All Prime needs is his laser rifle and his fists!

Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
And who is that behind shockwave? Starscream! He did make it in the film!
The 'Con in Starscreams colors is supposed to be Blitzwing, but I've seen some guesses that it was just a misdirection to hide that it's actually Starscream (like Cumberbatch being Khan).
I mean, considering how G1-accurate everything else in this movie is, it would be weird if Knight went to the trouble of getting a G1-accurate Starscream only to call him Blitzwing.
I mean, the Seekers' Cybertronian alt-modes is even G1-accurate .
First reviews.

Just saw it and there has been a lot of great genre movies this year but the first few minutes of this film just teleported me back to my childhood I was 8 again. Also the rest of the film is really good too this is hands down IMO the best Transformers movie I know low bar but it's great it's fun and has heart. If you have Transformers fatigue it's understandable but don't hold the Bay films against this it's Batman Begins from Batman and Robin improvement in a film franchise.
I saw the opening scene in a transformers collector group i am in on Facebook. I was not going to see the movie in the theater but now I must just to see that glorious 3 minutes on a big ass movie screen.
I saw the film last night. If you're watching entirely for a consistent G1 influence you'll be in for a disappointment, as it's only for those first three or so minutes, a minute or so in the middle of the film, and then a pleasing moment at the tail end. The rest of the film is a very light and breezy family friendly flick, there's not much of a body count (though some humans do die in a fairly sanitised way). John Cena's acting is atrocious but you can't look away, there's also a scene which requires Bumblebee to be an absolute idiot in order to advance the plot.
