8/10
Makes the Transformers movie series deeper and more complex
1 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This film truly repaired (almost everything) what we hated about the first three actions.

Bad: We are introduced to three new Auto-bots (Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs) who really show up with the only backstories being on the back of their toy boxes. The 4 dinosaur robots, without any true names (we fans know their names, but the those are not the fans do not) appear in the film serving as Dues Ex Machina. Some racist stereotypes still exist and Tessa was really not that far off, have you seen some the girls in real life, I'm not sexist, but I know a lot a girls dress with mini shorts (and some men walk around shirtless, or with a half naked girl on their shirts) The blood (energon) of the transformers is on a continuity error, since in 2 and 3 the color had an orange color now to a green color such as when part Prime's head fell off and green stuff splattered out vs. Megatron's blood when he was killed.

Good: The movie does not suddenly involve Unicron (I hope they never bring him into the series he was not really a good idea in the original series being that he was killed his first appearance and showed up as a head and in a reference in the Beast Wars and was compared to Predacon Megatron's Ship) or does anything else that would appeal to fans only.Establishes a deeper past into the Transformers relations to humans. Continues to develop the movie Optimus Prime making him aggressive to humans, and the Rachet's and Leadfoot's deaths were actually taken hard by the Autobot crew. All the Cybertronion transformers are given personalities, I say that because excepting Galvatron the prototypes were just goons being controlled by the other baddie. There are three antagonists in this film, all with different goals.

Improvements: The racist comments from the first 3 were put on a minimum where the only that movie could offend people is if they took extreme pride in being Irish.

Best: Perfectly makes human-transformers relationships more realistic where now there are actually teams of ex. military hunting down the transformers. All main characters are given a goal and a personality,Antagonists: Attinger: not wanting any more innocent deaths that are caused by the battles of the transformers. Lockdown: just an alien bounty hunter with a grudge against the Autobots and Decepticons, since they are always starting wars against each other. Protagonists: Optimus Prime: his aggressiveness is now at a peak, which the comic lovers know where it started(hatch lings)who is really angry at the humans who suddenly turned their backs on the Autobots (I will do a deeper analysis on Prime on my twitter page, KadDaws) Cade: a single poor father trying to do the best for his daughter, and unintentionally gets involved into an alien civil war.
