a little bit different? :eyebrow:
I was really looking forward to this movie and I honestly want to keep an open mind, but I can't shake the feeling that by looking at the designs alone it's painstakingly obvious the crew doesn't have a good grasp of the whole Transformers legacy.
Just to point out one thing: the flames on Prime/Convoy. He has always been a strong (military) leader, but a compasionate one. He's not the brash kind to jump right into the action. Flames painted on him just doesn't match with the kind of character he has ... I would expect to see something like that on a Rodimus or Nitro Convoy, but not Prime/Convoy. The iconic characters have looked different throughout the years, but they always stayed true to their G1 counterparts, at least in spirit if not in form. Here the spirit is completely lost, I'm afraid. It's better to watch this movie as "the transforming robots from outer space movie" instead of "Transformers: the movie".
