00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,560
Hey everyone, welcome to More Than Meets These Guys.

2
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,480
This week we're doing a little special episode because a little thing called Rise of the

3
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,800
Beast came out.

4
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,960
And myself and Boo of the Excellent Underground Dine-In, who does a lot of our GIFs and a

5
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:40,400
lot of our images, he's gonna be on with me this week because as much as it seems like

6
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,120
I know about Transformers, he knows a lot more.

7
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,480
And he has this great list of Easter eggs throughout the movie because that movie is

8
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,340
chock full of Easter eggs.

9
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:52,400
So thanks everyone for being here and let's get started.

10
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,400
Hello.

11
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,560
I was just riffing there, man.

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Sorry.

13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,480
So yeah, we saw it ourselves on Saturday.

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,760
And I know you saw yourself recently as well.

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,760
Oh yeah.

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,080
First of all, what was your impression?

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,400
Oh, I loved it.

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Yeah, it was great.

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,400
It pretty much, it met a lot of the expectations I had for the movie.

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Yeah, same here.

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Actually exceeded a lot of the expectations I had for the movie because I was not really

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,040
looking forward to how the beast is gonna look, how they acted and so on.

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,840
And we didn't get a lot of them, but what we got I liked.

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:36,000
And they touched on so many very special touchstones of the Beast Wars lore, which is really nice.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
I think we're gonna go into that a bit as we go on.

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,600
Oh yeah.

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,600
The same thing here.

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,600
I loved it.

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,240
I have a problem putting Double B up with the rest of the Bay movies because it's kind

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,000
of his own separate animal.

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,720
But of all those big cast movies, I think it's my favorite of them.

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,720
So yeah, very happy with it.

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,160
And little things that I was worried about and people who were kind of complaining about

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,240
that I thought I was gonna have a problem with came out really nicely.

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Yeah, I liked the way they did the beast modes on there because I mean, if they went, I guess

36
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,240
in the same vein as the TV show, then we'd end up with like Lion King.

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,240
Yeah.

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,240
Yeah.

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,720
And I think that would have like kind of taken some of the believability out of it if they

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,920
looked like real animals.

41
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:23,920
Yeah, exactly.

42
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,960
And honestly, having them sort of, I guess demigods or avatars to this indigenous people

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,960
was a really good choice, I thought.

44
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,320
I mean, you saw that with the, I guess it was early drawings that they found in the

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,160
temple of large animals and people worshiping them.

46
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,520
So it was all a nice touch.

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,240
Yeah, like I said, I thought it was fantastic too.

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:54,560
I was surprised our friend Jim, he's from the old Axel and Underground days.

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,640
He said that thing like excited.

50
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,320
And he said, yeah, there's small gripes, but he says that thing was such a great movie.

51
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:08,200
He actually, he's very, he is very much into the arts, very much into, you know, filming

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,360
photography and he had nothing bad to say about the movie.

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,800
He thought it was fantastic.

54
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Yeah, it's a popcorn movie.

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,040
We all know.

56
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Oh yeah.

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,040
There's another way around it.

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,040
It's not transformers.

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Yeah.

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,040
It's not high art.

61
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,320
We didn't go home in the afternoons after school to watch, you know, the masterpiece

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,400
theater came to watch Transformers.

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,400
Right.

64
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,360
So, yeah, man, let's get this started.

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,520
I really like how they started on their beast world, which, you know, with Ape Link, which

66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,880
is a nice throwback to the botcon Ape Link.

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,800
There's a double Easter egg there because you know who Ape Link was actually kind of

68
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,680
based on, right?

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,640
No, I don't actually.

70
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Glenn Hallett.

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Nice.

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Yeah, they were both former engineers.

73
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Nice.

74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,680
Okay.

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Yeah.

76
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,400
So that's one of the first Easter eggs you get is, you know, first of all, it's the first

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,600
botcon character to show up in, you know, one of these live action movies.

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,600
Yeah.

79
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,760
And there's also one that is based roughly on Glenn Hallett.

80
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Yeah, one of the three.

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,280
Yeah, one of the three H's.

82
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:20,280
Yeah.

83
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:21,560
So that's actually really cool.

84
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,080
You know, I miss those old botcon days.

85
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,960
The other I feel like they're a lot more fun, a lot more personable.

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,000
Yeah, they were a lot of fun.

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Oh, yeah.

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,200
So, yeah, I mean, so you get that and that was, you know, it wasn't a long fight or anything

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,200
like that, but it kind of gives you the weight of how that movie is going to go.

90
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,200
The entire movie is going to go.

91
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,520
He pretty much gets taken out quickly.

92
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Oh, yeah.

93
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,440
And did you catch that they played Unicron's theme, like a new version of Unicron's theme

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,440
in the beginning?

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Man, I'm going to watch it again.

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,440
All right.

97
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Yeah.

98
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,920
It was from the 1986 movie Unicron's theme.

99
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,720
Yeah, they have like a really heavy synth version of it when he first says that and

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,640
you hear it more when he starts eating.

101
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Okay.

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,880
I'll definitely check it out.

103
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,920
It may have been like low because the theater we were in, you know, there's the heavy bass

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,920
surround sound.

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,920
Yeah.

106
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,800
And there's a piano in there, so that'd be a really good thing to watch not in the theater,

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,400
which is weird to say that because you want to see things in the big surround sound theaters,

108
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,800
but I feel like you miss a lot of subtle things like that.

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Right.

110
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,080
So I'm going to be glad to check that out as well.

111
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,820
But I, you know, people, a lot of people are asking the insignias because of course he

112
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:34,280
rips off the maximal insignia and spot welds it right on his arm.

113
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:35,280
Right.

114
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,880
And so a lot of people are asking a lot of the insignias are, I mean, you have a record

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,360
insignia with the two hammers.

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Yeah.

117
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,800
That's the actually the tread and circuits records insignia from like the newer comic

118
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,800
they did what?

119
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,800
2021?

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Yeah.

121
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,800
2021.

122
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,800
Yeah.

123
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,480
They have the Audubon Elite Guard, which is, which, you know, is made big by the animated

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,480
cartoon.

125
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Of course they had, you know, Predacons on there.

126
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,160
So, you know, obviously there are Predacons in this world.

127
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,160
Right.

128
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,800
So now those kind of need, you know, and of course there's also Decepticon symbol.

129
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Oh, yes.

130
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,000
And there's mercenary symbols on his grill.

131
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560
It's got several mercenary symbols.

132
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Sound Blaster from the War for Cybertron trilogy.

133
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,560
Like the Quinnason style faces.

134
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,560
Right.

135
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,560
Okay.

136
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,040
I have to get back in there to watch that again.

137
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Then that's really so nice.

138
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Nod's it's basically showing what's all in this universe.

139
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Right.

140
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Or at least what was in the universe before Scourge Metal.

141
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,960
Yeah.

142
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Well, yeah.

143
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,560
And that's, that's the truth too.

144
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,560
Right.

145
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,040
And of course we get introduced to the Big McGuffin pretty early, which I had no problem

146
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,040
with at all.

147
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,840
That was, you know, there's going to be a McGuffin and big high stakes, you know, movies

148
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:49,840
like this.

149
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:50,840
Oh yeah.

150
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:57,400
I mean, even if you go like the national treasures, you know, it's the Declaration of Independence,

151
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,400
you know.

152
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,480
Yeah.

153
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,920
It doesn't even matter what it is.

154
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
It's just how it gets the plot moving along.

155
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Right.

156
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Ocean's 11, you know, they're going after the cash.

157
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Yeah, exactly.

158
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,280
You know, it's always something everybody wants.

159
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:10,280
Yeah.

160
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:16,300
And this is another Easter egg because, you know, Transwarp comes straight from Beast

161
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:17,880
Wars episode one.

162
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,720
They come through Transwarp portals, which travel through space and time.

163
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,900
And then you have a reference to that later when Airazor says they're from the future

164
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,360
and the past.

165
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
There are more advanced race essentially.

166
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,760
Right.

167
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,360
Which the Maximals and Predacons were.

168
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,560
They were basically more, I guess in the Beast Wars cartoon, more fuel efficient.

169
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Oh yeah.

170
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Archaic inner John Guzzlers.

171
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,400
Exactly.

172
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,400
And I mean, you get a lot of throughout the film, you know, how, you know, Primal will

173
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,000
say this is how I pictured Optimus Prime.

174
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,200
Yeah, I guess you build up a hero image in your head.

175
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480
I mean, he was obviously named after Prime.

176
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,480
Oh yeah.

177
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,360
Well, and if they're from the future, then he's going to be a different Optimus Prime

178
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,440
because they're going to see that end result of Prime rather than, you know, it's like

179
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,800
we have George Washington, Abraham Lincoln.

180
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,920
If you met him in their like teens, you'd probably be like, wow, this guy's a jerk or

181
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,920
something.

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,920
Or, you know, Thomas Jefferson.

183
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Oh, well, man, I don't even want to go there.

184
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,240
I knew a lot of people who really idolized Andrew Jackson when I was growing up.

185
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Yeah exactly.

186
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,240
Growing up in the South.

187
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,240
So, oh Hickory.

188
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,520
He makes like a whole snowball.

189
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:34,520
Yeah.

190
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Yeah.

191
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:41,760
So, yeah, you're introduced to a really good villain.

192
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:48,320
And I think Andrea said that this is a really brave idea for them to go with a major Transformers

193
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,160
movie that didn't have Megatron or a form of him as the main villain.

194
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,480
Because it's like the constant struggle is Optimus Prime versus Megatron.

195
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,520
It's back and forth or Galvatron or whatever else you want to call them.

196
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,280
So to have a completely separate villain.

197
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,960
And you know, there's no way to mistake it.

198
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:11,960
He's a villain.

199
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
I mean, there's no, you know, no shades of gray here.

200
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Oh yeah.

201
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,280
He's really evil.

202
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Oh, and he's a double Easter egg because, you know, there's a reference to Scourge,

203
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
the Unicronian from the 1986 movie.

204
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,400
And then there's Scourge from RID, the robots in disguise, who was like the evil truck.

205
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,120
So it's like they kind of merged the two of them together to make this guy, that guy.

206
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,120
Yeah.

207
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,120
You had him ready.

208
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,120
I did.

209
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,160
I found him the other day while I was looking at these stuff.

210
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,560
You were zooming them around, weren't you?

211
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,120
Man, these are great desk fodder because they're so small.

212
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Oh yeah.

213
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Yeah.

214
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,840
They're working Hot Wheels tracks.

215
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,160
They probably do actually.

216
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,160
Yeah.

217
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,400
They're about the right size.

218
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,840
So yeah, you have, you have that as a double Easter egg, which, you know, by the way, Peter

219
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,520
Dinklage did a great job.

220
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,520
Oh yeah.

221
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,520
The dude has weights behind his voice.

222
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,880
And I mean, if anyone wants to watch the Game of Thrones, you know, you know that he has

223
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160
menace behind his voice when he wants to.

224
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560
So that was really good.

225
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:13,560
But he was really scary.

226
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:19,120
I mean, you see him through the jungle with like, it's all dark and you see the, like

227
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,520
the dark energy, John burning in his chest and his eyes.

228
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,320
Man, that was a great way to bring him in like that.

229
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,320
Oh yeah.

230
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,320
He looked creepy.

231
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,320
Oh, he did.

232
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,480
He was almost like undead, especially like when you see his face in the end, it's like,

233
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,040
he's almost got like a zombie transformer face under there.

234
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Oh, a hundred percent.

235
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,800
And I agree with that.

236
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,520
I think with, well, I can kind of move this along though.

237
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,920
He said the whole gathering of the Maximals and Ape Link names Primal the new leader,

238
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120
and he tells me to get out of there.

239
00:10:53,120 --> 00:11:01,880
So with some hesitance and some resistance, they finally take off, grab the key and leave.

240
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:08,000
And I like that they just had this like, almost like a teaser thing right before the art of

241
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,080
the story of the people get involved.

242
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:18,480
And I got to say, man, I'm definitely not a fan of people in Transformers stories.

243
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,280
Shia, Megan Fox and all that stuff.

244
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,880
They had their funny moments, but it just got really annoying after a while.

245
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,680
You wanted to see more robot action.

246
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,720
But I liked Noah's story.

247
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Anthony Ramirez.

248
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:40,600
It was a believable story.

249
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,160
He got discharged from the army and he's trying to find work.

250
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Of course, you're going to have something like he's a electronics wizard.

251
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,280
He can hotwire cable boxes and that sort of thing.

252
00:11:54,280 --> 00:12:01,720
Because like Walberg's character in the five and six, he had to have some sort of, he was

253
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,120
an inventor or whatever.

254
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Cade Yeager.

255
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Yeah.

256
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:11,320
But yeah, so yeah, honestly, Noah, I didn't mind him at all.

257
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,240
He gave a believable reason for him to be in the situation he was in.

258
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,240
And he didn't look like he was jittery, dirty and sweaty all the time.

259
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,400
Like Megan and Fox and Shia.

260
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,400
He wasn't glistening.

261
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,400
Missed him.

262
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Break your stomach now.

263
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Yeah.

264
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,680
But yeah, he actually looked believable.

265
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,000
And Elena's character, I don't think that actually is his name.

266
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,680
I heard it a few times.

267
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,280
You're in science.

268
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,280
I'm in science.

269
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,960
My wife is in science.

270
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,960
We know how interns struggle.

271
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,400
Oh yeah.

272
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,640
It's tough.

273
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,080
And that is a 100% believable situation.

274
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,560
Yeah, it looked very accurate.

275
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:52,880
Oh, it was very accurate.

276
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,200
You said that was kind of silly.

277
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Like no, that's 100% accurate.

278
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,200
So one realizes they have a, they have a, not every scientist or, you know, person in

279
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,400
the museums like this, but there are people out there and say, like, oh, I've got someone

280
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,400
I can beat up and abuse.

281
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Cool.

282
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,400
You're going to do all this stuff for me.

283
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Oh yeah.

284
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,400
I'm going to do it for your credit.

285
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,400
Yep.

286
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,400
That's legitimately the life.

287
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,160
It could be the life of a, of someone doing that.

288
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,840
So, you know, I liked she was a completely believable character.

289
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,680
It did not feel like, what's the word I'm looking for?

290
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:30,800
It didn't feel like they were trying to find a, a black actress and Hispanic actor.

291
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,480
They actually just felt like they belong there.

292
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,480
Right.

293
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,480
There's no virtue.

294
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,480
No, no virtue signaling.

295
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,480
Yeah.

296
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,480
No, they fit very well with the story, which is great.

297
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Yeah.

298
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,480
Well, and it's New York, New York's a melting pot more so than probably anywhere else in

299
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,440
the U S. Yeah.

300
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,040
It was Brooklyn in the nineties.

301
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,040
Right.

302
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,600
And so that's, I mean, uh, one of my good friends, Ariel, you know, he's, I want to

303
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,960
say he's from, uh, I don't think he's from Brooklyn.

304
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,880
I think some points he's in a yell at me about this.

305
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,560
So I'm going to get it wrong, but he's in that, that general vicinity.

306
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:05,640
One of those, you know, one of those, uh, those areas on the boroughs.

307
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,640
Yeah.

308
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,640
So yeah, that's the way it is.

309
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,720
You know, you have people in your neighborhood, you know, you know, you, you work with, so,

310
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,880
you know, he's trying to move on and get out of that life.

311
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,240
And um, you know, he gets hooked up cause he can't get a job because he was discharged

312
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,640
dishonorably from the army, I guess, or I guess he was honorably discharged, but he

313
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,280
didn't get a good review.

314
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,680
That's what a landing officer.

315
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,680
Yeah.

316
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,340
So, yeah, of course.

317
00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:36,520
Did you catch the Cybertronics on the date when it flashed 1994?

318
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,680
I did catch that.

319
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,240
I didn't think that look at it.

320
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Cause you know, I've been able to, you know, like, it's kind of gibberish.

321
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,640
It's not really the actual maximal Cybertronics.

322
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,040
They just look like them.

323
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:54,160
Like they're kind of pieced together from the symbols, but yeah, they shift into 1994,

324
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,720
but that's the first time you see the maximal Cybertronics language pop up.

325
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,540
And yeah, by the way, everyone he's listening or watching or whatever, they legitimately

326
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:06,800
went after the actual languages that were from the Beast Wars show.

327
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,800
Oh yeah.

328
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,880
They, they did a deep dive.

329
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,480
I was really happy and I don't even, I don't think I caught everything they referenced

330
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,600
to Beast Wars.

331
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,480
The guy you could tell he's a fan or someone who is helping him was a big fan.

332
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,480
I like that.

333
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,480
That made a big difference.

334
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,480
Oh yeah.

335
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,520
They did a deep dive into a lot of this stuff.

336
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,520
Yeah.

337
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Which is fantastic.

338
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,000
I mean, it makes the movie better with it being such a good movie and having all these

339
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920
things for actual fans to see that were layered in there.

340
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,920
Right.

341
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,280
And it wasn't just, they dove into the show.

342
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,160
It seemed like they dove actually into the fan culture because they're almost like in

343
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,120
jokes from the fandom itself that were popping up in there.

344
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,120
Yeah.

345
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,720
So I'm sure you have those written out.

346
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,720
You have your list of Easter eggs.

347
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,720
Yeah, I got my list.

348
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,720
So yeah, I mean, the plot moves along and he gets the guy in the neighborhood and who

349
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,040
he, I guess he did the cable walks for to, yeah, Reek.

350
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,040
Yeah.

351
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Oh God.

352
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,040
Sorry.

353
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,040
I didn't think of the name, the guy from the crow, Reek.

354
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,040
Oh, no, the Reek.

355
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,040
I'm seeing a game of Thrones.

356
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,040
Oh God.

357
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,040
That's too.

358
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Geez.

359
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040
This Reek was a lot cooler.

360
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,040
So yeah, he gets another man.

361
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,040
I actually liked the character too.

362
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,040
He's in there.

363
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,040
He gets, hits him up with the job, stealing the car from, I guess, an expensive, you know,

364
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,040
garage.

365
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Oh yeah.

366
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,040
It was in a hotel.

367
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,040
It was in a hotel.

368
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,040
That's right.

369
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,040
Yeah.

370
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,040
Fancy hotel.

371
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,040
A couple of weeks.

372
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,040
Yeah.

373
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,800
So yeah, I mean, once again, this is all believable.

374
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,800
This is all stuff you can see happening, you know, and he's, he kind of goes, it's kind

375
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,520
of a, yeah, kind of a goofy, like the comedy of errors getting in there, but he gets in

376
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,600
there and yeah, the whole thing with, you know, I don't know if Mirage was just screwing

377
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,440
with him or he was just having fun with him or he was just like, you know, kept locking

378
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,440
the door on him.

379
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,920
You put the slim gym in there, pulling it up, trying to unlock it.

380
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,600
Oh, I'm pretty sure he was messing with that.

381
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,040
It fits the character to just, just a toy with him.

382
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Yeah, exactly.

383
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Yeah.

384
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,760
So he gets in there and he's like, you know, he's, he's, here's the trim is transmission

385
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,680
going across from often as prime.

386
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,040
You can't get, get the car going.

387
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,280
It's all kinds of stuff going on.

388
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,280
He's trying to hot wire him.

389
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,920
And that's shades of, you know, Raul and tracks from make tracks.

390
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,920
Oh yeah.

391
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:25,920
A hundred percent.

392
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,920
Yeah.

393
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,920
Yeah.

394
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,920
That was set in New York also.

395
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,920
Yes.

396
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,920
True.

397
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,920
Yeah.

398
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Raul and Noah.

399
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,280
So yeah, actually there's a lot of shades of make tracks with this, you know, including

400
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,320
the possibly messing with those wiring a little bit whenever he goes back to the garage.

401
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,320
Oh yeah.

402
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,400
Or no, that was a, when he was outside of his, uh, his apartment and the headlights

403
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,400
go off anyway.

404
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,400
Yeah.

405
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,400
Yeah.

406
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,400
He messed up there.

407
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,640
And then also at that same part, he complained that he got his paint scratched by his brother,

408
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,600
which right a little bit of tracks is vanity carried over.

409
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,720
And that was, that was cool too.

410
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,440
You know, honestly, the whole chase was, was great.

411
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,760
You know, you, you realize why, you know, he's got mirage.

412
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,520
He's not the, uh, our, you know, G one, all your mirage, but honestly, yeah.

413
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,720
I think you were saying he feels more like a hot rod character.

414
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,720
Oh yeah.

415
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,480
He definitely has that, that youth element to him, but also the way, you know, uh, Pete

416
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Davidson sounds, it sounds a little bit like Judd Nelson's hot rod.

417
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,480
It does.

418
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,360
You know, I could see that voice coming out of the IDW hot rod actually.

419
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:29,360
Oh yeah.

420
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:30,360
But, uh, yeah, man.

421
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:34,640
Uh, so he gets, he, um, takes him to this, uh, to the garage where he's, they've all

422
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:41,720
going to meet up, you know, the, um, Oh, sorry about his powers, his abilities.

423
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,720
Yeah.

424
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,120
He actually matches more closely to the original tech specs for mirage and the transfer.

425
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:48,120
Yeah.

426
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:50,120
He was more, I guess like a displacer beast.

427
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,120
Oh, nice.

428
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,480
Like he would appear where he wasn't, you know?

429
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,600
So yeah, it would throw off where he was rather than just, uh, being invisible.

430
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,600
Nice.

431
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Visibility was added for the sun bow show, but according to the tech specs in the transformers

432
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,760
universe profile, uh, he would basically make images of himself where he wasn't.

433
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Nice.

434
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Okay.

435
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Yeah.

436
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,320
So it's all that he could, they get to that, uh, the garage and everyone else shows up,

437
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,320
but, um, you know, I'm just primed is really angry in this.

438
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,760
That dude is, he is like grumpy as hell.

439
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,000
Um, you know, once again, this is not, uh, the Bay universe prime.

440
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,560
This is, uh, the bumblebee universe prime.

441
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,840
And uh, he's, you know, do any white has, uh, he brought a human there and he's like,

442
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,160
yeah, you know, he's going to help us.

443
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,440
And, uh, it was, it was a whole thing where you get the, you get the impression he's walking

444
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:49,400
around saying, you know, you know, how do you do is like mirage stay there, stay hidden.

445
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,040
He's kind of making fun of his prize voice.

446
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,520
Cause he's that character.

447
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,200
That's oh yeah.

448
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,520
And he makes a reference to big, when there was a plot point in big where they were trying

449
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,440
to design a new transformer.

450
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,440
Yeah.

451
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,440
That was the original.

452
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,440
Yeah.

453
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,280
That was totally, that's somewhat one of those fandom jokes.

454
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,720
I think that they worked in cause almost every, at least the old school transformer fans all

455
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720
were like, oh wow.

456
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,800
I remember there was a, someone talking about on one of the Facebook groups about, uh, they

457
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,440
they're kind of ticked that you should be able to have like skyscraper sized, you know,

458
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,440
transformers fighting and that even plays more into that.

459
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,360
I was totally the transformer.

460
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:32,320
Well, and then big, they decided, he told them it'd be better to have a bug.

461
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,120
And then, you know, later in the movie, there's like bug transformers everywhere.

462
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,120
Yeah.

463
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:38,120
Nice.

464
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,120
Okay.

465
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:44,000
I'm this, we're in like the first half hour and there's just all this stuff already.

466
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Oh yeah.

467
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,800
And well, I'm going back to Elena's story.

468
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Yeah.

469
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:53,480
When she gets the air razor statue, that's a reference back to the transformers comics,

470
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,480
the matrix quest.

471
00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:00,560
Oh, it was like the, like the Maltese Falcon, but there's a say the Maltese Falcon.

472
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,560
Yeah.

473
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Yeah.

474
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,560
It's called bird of prey.

475
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:10,080
There's 62 in the American comics and it was a two 62 through two 64 in the UK comics.

476
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,000
I remember that maybe they split them up.

477
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Yeah.

478
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Yeah.

479
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,640
Night, night be figured prominently because he's the detective.

480
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,640
Oh yeah.

481
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:24,080
And I mean, yeah, that's the, I think the only time you see in G1 where you have just

482
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,280
a statue of a bird like that, that's the MacGuffin and it was a main MacGuffin of that story.

483
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,280
Yeah.

484
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,240
And once again, it was MacGuffin of the Maltese, the Maltese Falcon was the MacGuffin of that

485
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,240
entire story.

486
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,360
Oh yeah.

487
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:41,720
And the symbols on her, the Cybertronics on the statue are the letters Q and B.

488
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Yeah.

489
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:49,500
I think we're, we asked you about that later on and it's being this for somebody and initials

490
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:53,040
or it means something, but yeah.

491
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,520
So yeah.

492
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,800
So yeah, she, she takes a closer look at the thing.

493
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,800
What happened actually?

494
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,800
Is it there yet?

495
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,800
Yeah.

496
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,440
They have the whole, the guy gets to go back to the garage.

497
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,960
They're all discussing what to do with them and Mirage gets it.

498
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,320
He basically plays to know his need to make money.

499
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,320
Oh yeah.

500
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,320
Dude, man, you help us.

501
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,320
We'll get this thing.

502
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,880
We'll move on and you can, you can let you sell me and then I'll just get out of there.

503
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,240
And he's like, what do you want to be?

504
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,280
I was like, I can be, I can be a Porsche.

505
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,400
I can be a Ferrari.

506
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,960
I can be F1 racer, which plays to the original design of Mirage.

507
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,960
Right.

508
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:36,600
And the Mirage that got changed, they changed his name to Dino from, what was it?

509
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,000
Revenge of the Fallen.

510
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,760
Is that right?

511
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,760
Maybe.

512
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,760
Yeah.

513
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Anyway, yeah, he was a Ferrari.

514
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,000
That's right.

515
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,000
That's right.

516
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,680
That's kind of a nod to that also.

517
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Once again, there's the Easter eggs are plentiful.

518
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,600
Oh yeah.

519
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,600
They're loaded.

520
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,600
Yeah.

521
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,280
So they, they kind of, you know, I, and I got to admit, I really was worried.

522
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,240
I would really dislike RC, but she came out really well too.

523
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,040
Oh, the dark of the moon.

524
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,040
That's what it was.

525
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Dark of the moon.

526
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,040
Okay.

527
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,040
Dark of the moon.

528
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Yeah.

529
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,040
Yeah.

530
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,040
RC came out really nice.

531
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Ducati motorcycle.

532
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,040
Yeah.

533
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,560
She's basically been a motorcycle ever since, uh, got to enter John.

534
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Yeah.

535
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,320
You don't say enter John's the first time she popped up as a motorcycle.

536
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Yeah.

537
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,240
She's like, she's that way in like one of the babies that might've been a real fringe

538
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,240
of the fallen.

539
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,240
That was a friend to the fallen.

540
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Yeah.

541
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,240
Well, there's like three RCs.

542
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,480
They looked weird and kind of horrible, but yeah, they had Vicon legs.

543
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,480
Oh God.

544
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,480
Yeah.

545
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,480
The real legs.

546
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,480
Yeah.

547
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,480
They had, or they had stands.

548
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,480
You can, I don't know.

549
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Anyways.

550
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Right.

551
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,480
So that she looked really good.

552
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,200
Um, bumblebee was back to his old Camaro body.

553
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,200
So you know, once again, he's, I think that's the way he looked at the end of bumblebee.

554
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,960
He changed his form to a Camaro.

555
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,440
He just kind of goes off in the, in the, in the, in the sunset.

556
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,440
Right.

557
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Cause he went from Volkswagen to a Camaro.

558
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,760
Yeah.

559
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,360
And there's actually a reference to the 2007 movie in that part when, uh, Noah asked him,

560
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:07,440
are you a possessed car?

561
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,800
And then in 2007, Sam's like, I'm being chased by Satan's Camaro.

562
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,560
That's right over that.

563
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,000
So yeah, that's not real.

564
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
I'm an alien.

565
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Like that's easier to stomach.

566
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Yeah.

567
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
I like that.

568
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,760
You know, uh, the whole, the whole thing with them, you know, it was, it was a, I don't

569
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,760
know.

570
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,760
It felt like once again, real.

571
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240
And also Andreas, uh, our friend Andreas said this as well.

572
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,520
They all feel like they have weight and they have gravity and everything moves around.

573
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,120
Like they're real instead of like a billion little parts moving all the time.

574
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:42,160
So they feel like they're liquid and they don't weigh up very much.

575
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:49,060
They all seem like they have the mass of a Freightliner or a Camaro or, you know, a Porsche.

576
00:24:49,060 --> 00:24:50,840
It feels that I don't know.

577
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,040
It seemed like they got the weight and the gravity of the, of the different forms.

578
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Right.

579
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,040
Right.

580
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,960
And I like how they had like just enough kibble on them where you could tell what they were

581
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:01,960
before.

582
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,960
It wasn't like it all disappeared and turned little shards.

583
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,480
Like yeah, you could still see hints of their form in their robot mode, which that's one

584
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,280
of the things I liked about transformers.

585
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,680
You can kind of make out like you could always tell Starscream was a jet.

586
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,680
Yeah, exactly.

587
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,200
You look at Optimus, you can tell he was a truck.

588
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,240
So there was a lot more of that.

589
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,880
Steven Capel Jr., the director said he actually wanted to work more of that in.

590
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,560
So the vehicle mode didn't completely disappear when they became robots.

591
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,560
I mean, it shouldn't.

592
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,560
There's a whole point there.

593
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,800
They're supposed to look that way for a reason.

594
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Right.

595
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:41,080
In the, I mean, even go back to the beasts, they have weight and they have mass.

596
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,040
You know, they, when they walk around, you hear the thump, the thump and they have a

597
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,200
gurgling in their chest kind of thing.

598
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,800
So all that was really nice.

599
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,120
You know, but you still had things that make them differentiate them as when the robots,

600
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:58,520
like you know, the Mirage has like, it looks like a, like a headphones like around the

601
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,520
back of his head.

602
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,520
Right.

603
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,000
It had these kinds of, he had the certain things about them that still give him some

604
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,240
differentiating looks as a, as a robot, which is nice.

605
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,240
It gives him character.

606
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,240
Yeah.

607
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,240
It does.

608
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,240
It does.

609
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,680
You know, I gotta say also they were really big on the appearance of, you know, trying

610
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,680
to be quiet.

611
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,440
I was trying to be driving up quietly.

612
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,640
He transforms quietly and walks into the garage.

613
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,640
Quiet.

614
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,120
I mean, as quiet as you can be.

615
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,120
All that.

616
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:28,240
There, there weren't banging around and falling in Sam Witwicky's backyard, stepping off

617
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,520
flower pots and stumbling over the garage.

618
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,160
And yeah, yeah, there was, there was still a little bit of that.

619
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,000
They played to the little bit of that when, when Noah goes to his apartment and talking

620
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,600
to his little brother, he kind of like, standing on the car, but you know, there's still, as

621
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,240
he stood on that car, I was like, that, that roof's not going to hold him.

622
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,240
And then they started breaking.

623
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,800
I'm like, ah, there it is.

624
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Yeah.

625
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,400
And he falls around and stuff.

626
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,400
Yeah.

627
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:59,040
So, you know, they, they go to the, he goes like to the, the, to the museum on the island

628
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,280
to retrieve the key.

629
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,000
And I like that they, they, they make a point in saying like, you know, he's like, where

630
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
are we going?

631
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,920
Like moving the phone without a signal that I can't see.

632
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,920
Yeah, exactly.

633
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:10,920
When you can't see.

634
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,920
So it establishes that, you know, we're, we're getting that, that out of go.

635
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,800
I guess that, um, there are you reasoning mirage as the lens and not Noah.

636
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:20,800
Right.

637
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,680
I think that we can see the signal.

638
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,680
Yeah, exactly.

639
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,960
We're, we're like, we're kind of like as Mirage.

640
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,880
We're not as the human, which I thought was a nice little touch.

641
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,440
It was very subtle too.

642
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:36,800
So yeah, you know, he goes there, he, he breaks in, he hears the, which he hears the window

643
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,880
break and Noah shows up.

644
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,320
He's in like starter starter gear, like a starter jacket and pants stuff.

645
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,320
It's like, who are you?

646
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,320
I'm Janitor.

647
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,320
You're the janitor.

648
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,480
And, uh, yeah, you know, he was, he's not a good guy.

649
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,960
He's trying to be a good guy, but he's, he had a lot of problems.

650
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,400
So he's just like, look, I gotta, I gotta do this.

651
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,000
It's important.

652
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,040
And he, okay.

653
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,720
He does what every, every person in a movie like this does really badly tries to explain

654
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,080
around the whole thing.

655
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Right.

656
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,320
So there's a couple of Easter eggs in this part too.

657
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,320
That's right.

658
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Yeah.

659
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,320
Go ahead.

660
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,320
Yeah.

661
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,640
When she's looking at the, uh, trans warp key under the microscope, you see four characters

662
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,080
in the cyber Tronics.

663
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:27,000
That's actually the word door that spells out door D O O R in maximal.

664
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:34,400
And then when she's looking up the, uh, peruse unexplained glyphs article, the names of the

665
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,000
editors of that article were a Sahi, Takara and Daniel Tommy.

666
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,720
So it's a Takara Tommy reference.

667
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,720
That was nice.

668
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,720
I didn't catch that at all.

669
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:44,720
Yeah.

670
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,960
Well, it's real fast because she pulls it up and then scrolls off the screen.

671
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,880
But yeah, next time you watch it, watch right when she pulls up that screen.

672
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:52,880
Nice.

673
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,880
I'll definitely do that.

674
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:59,240
Um, so yeah, it's almost a relief though, when, uh, when they blow the side out of the

675
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,560
museum, is this like, can we get on with this?

676
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,480
There's this whole weird tension there and you know, the security guard gets taken out

677
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:13,600
and the, uh, they, they get thrown around and the little freezer guys, I guess they

678
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,000
call them freezer.

679
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,640
They don't call him anything on there, but yeah, it's a freezer.

680
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,640
Yeah.

681
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,840
It looks like almost like frenzy from, uh, from, uh, 2007 movie.

682
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,960
Yeah.

683
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,880
They're pretty, uh, they're fantastic.

684
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,200
They're just like, I was like little minions or whatever little, you know, you guys to

685
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,960
send in differ, uh, smaller things like people.

686
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,960
Oh yeah.

687
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,120
Oh, one more thing.

688
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:41,520
She was looking at the glyph of optimist primal, like, you know, she sees the cheetah one and

689
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:47,080
the rhino and then if you look at the bottom, it actually says that linguists have determined

690
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,280
that this one is called optimist primal.

691
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Like it literally says optimist primal in the, like the footnote underneath the picture,

692
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,240
the caption under the picture.

693
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,200
So someone's working on the, uh, translating the Maxwell language.

694
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Yeah.

695
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:08,080
But I guess the indigenous people who spoke to them that they spoke to said he's called

696
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,080
optimist primal.

697
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,080
Nice.

698
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,080
Yeah.

699
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
So yeah, next time you watch it, look at the bottom of that picture and you'll actually

700
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,640
see it says optimist primal at the bottom.

701
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,120
It doesn't name cheetah or a Rhinox in their pictures.

702
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,440
So I guess we're gonna have to like stop and as soon as I get this, uh, you know, it gets

703
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,480
released on streaming and that's there and stop frame it and watch every little thing.

704
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,480
Oh yeah.

705
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,480
Deep dive.

706
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,480
Yeah.

707
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,880
So the whole thing moves along and I like that there's not like, I think the problem

708
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,880
a lot of people had with the mix of the 2007 movie and Leo, the, uh, I guess dark of the

709
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,880
moon is dark.

710
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,640
The moon had so much going on that it was going on 2007.

711
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,200
Barely any like robot fighting, like, but he had this like nice little teaser at the

712
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:56,280
beginning of, um, of, um, what's his face barricade and, and, um, don't be right overall.

713
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:02,720
It was nice to get right into this with their, all the, you know, mirages in his, uh, dump

714
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,720
truck mode.

715
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,720
Oh yeah.

716
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,800
Which was kind of ridiculous.

717
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,560
He's in that and, uh, and they all, he's kind of like watching out for him and he sees all

718
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,340
of the, uh, you know, the tarot cards show up.

719
00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:17,280
So all the other ones show up and there's a big fight, which is pretty brutal.

720
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,360
I mean, I, you don't always know how the, or the things are going to show up on, on,

721
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,360
on screen.

722
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,120
I was, uh, what was it?

723
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,120
A scrap hook.

724
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,840
I'm a huge fan of how he came out.

725
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,520
Like his, the ball on the battle trap, battle trap, not scrap, but grab a trap.

726
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,520
Thank you.

727
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,520
That's another thing.

728
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,520
Yeah.

729
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,840
Battle traps, the weight of that, of that record ball, do anything hit you felt it.

730
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,840
Oh yeah.

731
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Oh, and did you catch the, the Marky Mark references?

732
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
They were driving up there.

733
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000
That's right.

734
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Yeah.

735
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Marky Marky, Marky bunch.

736
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
It's going to be an actor.

737
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,320
I did guess that.

738
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,280
So yeah, I got a Mark Wahlberg reference there.

739
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,280
Yeah.

740
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,560
Which is, oh, and when optimists in that same part, uh, told Bumblebee, he didn't want him

741
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,440
to go to that drive-in movie anymore.

742
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:10,600
That's a reference back to, uh, transformers was it number one, the Marvel comic where

743
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,040
that's, they all went to the drive-in movie and that's where Bumblebee met Buster.

744
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,920
That's nice.

745
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Yeah.

746
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,920
Man.

747
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,180
So yeah, it's, they did their research.

748
00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:24,160
They dug in to like the mythos.

749
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,160
Yeah.

750
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,160
That's great.

751
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,160
I haven't heard that coming so long.

752
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,160
Oh yeah.

753
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,160
It goes way back.

754
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:35,000
Oh, that's literally like the first piece of transformers lore published.

755
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
That's fantastic.

756
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
God.

757
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,840
I mean, yeah.

758
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,800
Whether you can say those things about it is if you get the joke, you get the Easter

759
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,280
egg, that's even better.

760
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,240
But without that, you know, it's kind of a funny thing.

761
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,040
Like, I don't want you to listen to those movies anymore because you know, right.

762
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,040
It's bad influence.

763
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,040
Yeah, exactly.

764
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:56,480
I've seen all these lines, you know, with kids, when you have kids, you deal with that

765
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,480
too.

766
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,480
Like, what are you watching?

767
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,480
I don't want you on YouTube today.

768
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,960
What are you watching on there?

769
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,280
Yeah, exactly.

770
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:09,200
There was, there was an incident back when my son was younger with my, my now ex-wife,

771
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,560
we had to go because I think we were separated at the time we had to go and sue my son's

772
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:21,280
preschool because he dropped a, I'm going to, you know, paraphrase or like shorten it here.

773
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,800
He dropped a WTF, but you know, didn't see WTF.

774
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:31,160
He said the whole phrase, you know, in this little private preschool and going, and I

775
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,840
looked at my ex-wife and like, so where'd you hear that at?

776
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:36,840
Yeah.

777
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,440
It was drive in movies.

778
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,040
Not that quiet, but.

779
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,040
Yeah.

780
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Anyways.

781
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,040
Yeah.

782
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,000
So, uh, I mean, all that was fantastic.

783
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,800
He gives the, like I said, you're on the island, that big fight is going on and they are brutal

784
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,560
and so much so that the stakes are like pretty much shown right there where he takes in a,

785
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,520
he takes out moment right there.

786
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Oh yeah.

787
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,920
And this is the introduction of Nightbird to the live action stories.

788
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,080
And you know, that's a reference back to a season two G1 episode that you just did on

789
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,080
here not too long ago.

790
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Yeah.

791
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Yeah.

792
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,720
It would have been nice to have the famous scientist.

793
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:16,720
Oh yes.

794
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:19,720
Dr. Fujiyama, the famous scientist.

795
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:21,920
The famous scientist.

796
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:28,400
And you know, actually the, the face was more, um, was more avian looking, like more of like

797
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:34,440
a hook, a beak thing on it, but it didn't look that far off from like the original concept.

798
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,240
Um, of course, you know, she, she flies and she transforms, you know, they were more of

799
00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:41,560
a bird motif into her ninja look.

800
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,040
So it was kind of a mix.

801
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,040
Yeah.

802
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,040
Which is fine.

803
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,040
Good in Mortal Kombat.

804
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,040
Um, so yeah.

805
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:55,640
Oh, and Optimus has his ax, his energon ax from the first episode or second episode of

806
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,640
Transformers.

807
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,640
Yeah.

808
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,880
He, uh, he starts out with the sword then changes up to an ax, which is nice touch.

809
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:06,080
And it's not, he gets knocked out of his hand and, uh, that's what the whole thing is going

810
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,080
to be coming up.

811
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,680
He's grabbing it and he runs over to try to use it.

812
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,680
And uh, you know,

813
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,680
Yeah.

814
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,160
He was really shocked when, uh, Scourge just overpowered him.

815
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,040
I actually, I kind of felt like that was a, that was a, um, reference to, uh, the end

816
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,360
of the Transformers prime with a bone.

817
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,040
He takes up the, uh, the, um, star saber and takes out Megatron.

818
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,040
Oh yeah.

819
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,040
At the very end.

820
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,040
Yeah.

821
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,040
I could see that.

822
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,040
Well, there's our guys.

823
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,320
It's also, that's when Scourge mentions primus.

824
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,920
He tells them, uh, you know, you call yourself a prime primus would be ashamed.

825
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,880
So once again, we're bringing that into the, uh, the realm of, uh, and I like that they

826
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,720
refer to Unicron as a dark God.

827
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:44,720
He's not just a big Transformer.

828
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,080
He's not just a Galactus.

829
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,080
He's a dark God.

830
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,960
Then he's Brim for Earth's is primus also.

831
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,160
So, you know, you can essentially, you know, well, I hope they would, you make the connection

832
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,240
where, you know, there's, there's lots of, uh, different ways they describe primus and

833
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,440
Unicron, depending on which show you're watching.

834
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,920
And, and, uh, you know, which kind of theory you go with.

835
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,920
Yeah.

836
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,200
I think they'd do like three different ways in the comic.

837
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,880
But yeah, so primus and Unicron are like the, um, the, they're dualistic.

838
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,880
Yeah.

839
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,120
It's like a yin yang thing with them.

840
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,680
And for those that don't know it, yeah.

841
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,240
Primus is basically like the creator God of the Transformers.

842
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:22,600
And in some cases he's Cybertron itself.

843
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,600
Yeah.

844
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:30,960
And, uh, which I liked that they, they did not follow the, the Transformers prime, you

845
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,320
know, origin for Unicron, which they did in the Michael Bay universe where Unicron was

846
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,320
Earth.

847
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,440
Cause obviously it's kind of complicated things a lot.

848
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:45,480
That's also why I changed my, uh, little avatar here to my primus picture.

849
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,960
Is that the keeper there with them?

850
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,960
Yes.

851
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Keeper with primus.

852
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,840
That was, you know, from like what issues it was like, um, what was it?

853
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,800
It's 61, 61, I think.

854
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,800
Yeah.

855
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:58,800
What's the name of that issue?

856
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,800
Primal Scream.

857
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,800
Primal Scream.

858
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,800
That's right.

859
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:02,800
Yeah.

860
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,360
So it kind of tells Gremlock and Mulvey and maybe Blaster.

861
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,360
Jazz.

862
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,360
Jazz.

863
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,400
Like the whole story of how he came out and how he, uh, originally, uh, Unicron and him

864
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,400
were the same being.

865
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,400
Yeah.

866
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,880
Or, well, they, he was made from the sentient core of the universe.

867
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:20,880
Yeah.

868
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,960
And Unicron had come from the previous universe.

869
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,480
He'd eaten everything and went to sleep and then woke up.

870
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,000
My new universe had formed around him.

871
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,920
So he just started tearing it up.

872
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,680
And yeah, that's, that's one of the three different versions of the origin story.

873
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:35,680
Yeah.

874
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,880
Later they did one where they were like one being that was divided and they, they've got,

875
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,480
yeah, like you said, several different origins.

876
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,760
And honestly, I can actually explain that away.

877
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:50,020
I mean, you can say like, well, you know, that's, that's just, um, you know, maybe people

878
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:54,040
have different myths about the same origin story or, you know, creation myth.

879
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,040
Oh yeah.

880
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,560
The original one that Simon Furman wrote was very much like, uh, Zoraastrianism.

881
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,360
The way they have their, you know, benevolent creator God, which is a Hura Mazda.

882
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,680
And then you have Angra Mainyu, which is like their destroyer.

883
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,520
In a lot of ways it's also, you can look at, um, you know, um, was it, I'm trying to think

884
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:21,440
of the, uh, it's Krishna and, um, I'm going to blank on the name of the dark goddess of

885
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,440
the destroyer.

886
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,440
Oh, Kali.

887
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,440
Kali.

888
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,440
Thank you.

889
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,440
Yeah.

890
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,440
Kali.

891
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,480
I mean, that's, that's a, that's a classic, um, you know, kind of myth of like, you know,

892
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,880
a creator, the cycle of creation and destruction.

893
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:32,880
Yeah.

894
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,880
Yeah.

895
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:39,720
Which, so I mean, honestly, it gives us also a little more, I guess, I don't know, um,

896
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,840
mystical kind of sense to it.

897
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:42,840
Yeah.

898
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,840
Um, anyways, yeah.

899
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,520
Moving along though, there's their, their, their course, um, they're going to grieve

900
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,840
Bumblebee, but they, they take them with them.

901
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,720
And um, I actually, I stepped out of the, uh, the theater to use the bathroom at this

902
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:59,280
point, apparently as were, um, um, Stratosphere shows up.

903
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,280
Yeah.

904
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,440
And as well, you know, back and forth with, uh, with mirage.

905
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,440
Oh yeah.

906
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,280
Mirage finds out who's coming and he's just like, Oh, not him.

907
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:15,880
Oh, I was going to say with the, uh, Terracons, when, uh, Airazor has given her exposition

908
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:16,880
about who they are.

909
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,880
Yeah.

910
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,880
And you know, they ask, well, your Autobots, your Maximals and who are they?

911
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,880
Their Terracons.

912
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,840
That's a reference back to Transformers Enderjohn where the Terracons served Unicron.

913
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:27,840
That's right.

914
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:34,040
Which again, you know, um, yeah, that's Unicron trilogy they worked in, which is rare to see

915
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,000
worked into the live action.

916
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,520
And people are saying, why are they using Terracons?

917
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,480
Terracons are there, or they were, people were caught up on the idea of the Terracons

918
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,560
were the, the G1 Terracons, like hunger, um, Ripper snapper.

919
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,560
Yeah.

920
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,560
The abominus combiner.

921
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,560
Yeah.

922
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,560
Yeah.

923
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,480
So like, no, no, there's, there's been a lot of Terracons in the, uh, the different

924
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,480
shows.

925
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,480
Yeah.

926
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,240
And this is leaning definitely more towards the, I guess the Energon Terracons.

927
00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:58,240
Yeah, definitely.

928
00:39:58,240 --> 00:39:59,240
Yeah.

929
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:04,840
So, uh, yeah, that, that alone was a nice touch to showing all that.

930
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:05,840
But so yeah, yeah.

931
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,880
I noticed a Stratosphere looks like the old pilot, the old British pilot from the Mummy.

932
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,880
Oh yeah.

933
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,880
Yeah.

934
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,800
He's got like the, the leather, like big old mustache.

935
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,800
Yeah.

936
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:18,800
The mustache and all that.

937
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,240
And he's almost got like little goggles on top of his head too.

938
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:23,240
Yeah, exactly.

939
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:24,240
Yeah.

940
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:25,240
Like the black mask.

941
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:26,240
Yep.

942
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,240
Yeah.

943
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:31,880
They, uh, of course they, they, you know, fly out to Peru because you know, Elena's

944
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,440
solve, solve where this is coming from.

945
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,440
Right.

946
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,080
So they go check out the, uh, the temple because that's where they, they've discovered these,

947
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,600
um, the link to this, I can't remember the name of the temple.

948
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,400
Uh, it's a temple of the sun.

949
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,400
Temple of the sun.

950
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,400
Thank you.

951
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,400
But there was a, yeah.

952
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,400
Oh, about Stratosphere.

953
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,480
Uh, he was originally a Revenge of the Fallen toy.

954
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,040
Yes, he was.

955
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:59,640
Which they had Optimus like parachute out of the plane, but you know, they never referred

956
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,360
to him in the movie, but when they made the toy for that plane and had the little Optimus

957
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,160
with it, you know, they named it Stratosphere.

958
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,360
So this is actually a reference back to that toy from Revenge of the Fallen.

959
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,640
So it's his first live action appearance.

960
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Yeah.

961
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,640
And same kind of plane too.

962
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:14,640
Yeah.

963
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:15,640
Which is nice.

964
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,520
I kind of appreciate that too.

965
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:23,640
So yeah, they land in Peru and, uh, then, you know, Wheeljack shows up.

966
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,360
And I didn't know what to think about him.

967
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,120
And I, you know, I didn't know how I felt about it, but once I heard him talking, I

968
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,120
was fine with it.

969
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Oh yeah.

970
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,120
I was okay with it.

971
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,280
And there's the, uh, the little joke, I think, uh, Noah's making, talking about his accent.

972
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,440
What'd you get your accent from?

973
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,160
He's like, what do you, what accent?

974
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,280
Oh yeah.

975
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,280
With Wheeljack.

976
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,280
Yeah.

977
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,280
Yeah.

978
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,240
And, uh, he made a reference back to the Skids of Mudflap from Revenge of the Fallen.

979
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:51,240
Right.

980
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:53,240
Cause he called him, he said, that sounds pretty racist, man.

981
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,800
And then, yeah, how can it be racist?

982
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:56,800
He's a robot.

983
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,800
Exactly.

984
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:58,800
Yeah.

985
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,800
Exactly.

986
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,800
Yeah.

987
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,120
And that was, I think that's actually a quote from Michael Bay.

988
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,520
I think Michael Bay said that in an interview somewhere.

989
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,520
I'm pretty sure he did.

990
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,720
I remember hearing about that.

991
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:10,120
Uh, but yeah, that's directly back referencing Skids of Mudflap.

992
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,120
Like come on.

993
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,120
Oh yeah.

994
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,120
They're very racist, man.

995
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:19,360
Um, so yeah, they, they go on the, uh, like the little thing they do in this, this town

996
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,800
with this festival going on, they have to go through what's become another, it's a church

997
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,360
on top of where the temple was.

998
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,360
That's go through the whole thing.

999
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,880
And you know, once the end, Elena is, uh, they, they do the whole stuff to you sneak

1000
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,400
really easily into this, uh, church.

1001
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,400
Oh yeah.

1002
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,040
Through the parade, which that's a reference to a plague of insecticons.

1003
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Is it?

1004
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,000
Cause they remember where, uh, Side Swipe had to tunnel underneath the parade.

1005
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,000
That's right.

1006
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
That's right.

1007
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,040
So they were going down that like the one ravine and there's a parade right there.

1008
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,080
Yeah, that's right.

1009
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,160
So yeah, that's a Easter egg back to that.

1010
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,320
And if you watch the parade, there is a float that looks like a rhino and then there's a

1011
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,920
Jaguar float, which I guess is a kind of reference to Cheetor.

1012
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:05,920
Yeah, nice.

1013
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,440
So yeah, the main big one you see when it's like doing the bird's eye view, you'll see

1014
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:15,080
it's a big colorful rhinoceros, which there are no rhinoceroses in South America.

1015
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,440
Well, there's one.

1016
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,360
Yeah, there's one big metal one.

1017
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,360
So yeah.

1018
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,480
And I like to get to the, you get to the temple and they're looking for stuff and he's like,

1019
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,480
he starts looking at the stonework and she says that that was made in the, that was built

1020
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:29,600
in the 1500s.

1021
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,760
That's not what we're looking for.

1022
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,880
Once again, you know, showing that she's like, okay, I'm not just here as the, you know,

1023
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,160
plucky female lead.

1024
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,160
She's like, no, I actually know.

1025
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,160
I know she's the expert.

1026
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,160
Yeah.

1027
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,960
And uh, which I love the end of the movie.

1028
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,600
She gets credit finally for something like this.

1029
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:45,960
But yeah, back to this though.

1030
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:51,880
I mean, she's a, they figured out it's like, you know, like a national treasure kind of

1031
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,080
I was like, okay, turn the faces this way.

1032
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,240
They all, it all opens up.

1033
00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:01,120
I like that they get into this and they, of course the, um, the terracotta are on the

1034
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,920
way they're, they're following the Autobots.

1035
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,800
They knew something's going on.

1036
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,360
Uh, Helena and nowhere down there under, underground and they make points.

1037
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:14,400
They like, no one's been here and you know, millennia, which, you know, that's kind of

1038
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,840
a cool thing and they kind of followed through this whole, well, actually if I know none

1039
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,800
of those freezer robots.

1040
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:22,800
Yeah.

1041
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,840
And, uh, and the calendar on the ground there that, you know, where they did the little

1042
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,840
open up it's unicorn.

1043
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,240
Yeah, it is.

1044
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:32,400
It has his rings and all that.

1045
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,440
And it has a skull face in the middle, like death.

1046
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,600
So yep.

1047
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,400
And there are four maximal symbols on it and there's four maximals in the movie.

1048
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,400
Exactly.

1049
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,520
So there's a lot of symbolism worked into that.

1050
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,520
Oh yeah.

1051
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,800
Uh, yeah, they're kind of paraphrasing, paraphrase, or I kind of work through all this.

1052
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,520
Uh, they, they, you know, Noah has the L a hand flashlight gun thing.

1053
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,720
He finds he has, which, um, I was kind of wondering what they were doing with that.

1054
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:01,480
Cause I don't know if that's a really a play on anything else they've done before.

1055
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,960
It was just something, something's kind of moving along.

1056
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:09,360
I think that the closest thing I could think of was from, uh, darker the moon, the little

1057
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,120
gadgets that, uh, Q gave Sam, Oh yeah.

1058
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,400
I see it shot star screaming the eye with it.

1059
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:17,400
That's what it reminded me of.

1060
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,360
I can see that it looked a little cleaner though, but yeah, yeah, it was definitely

1061
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,360
not as janky more ergonomic.

1062
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,360
Yeah.

1063
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,400
They come out into the jungle and they're over there and you know, immediately Brian

1064
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,600
Wall shows up and you know, jumps down and starts yelling at him and counting his chest

1065
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,600
and stuff.

1066
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,600
And then, why are you here?

1067
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,600
Why are you looking for the key?

1068
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,840
Um, but back in the tunnels with that, and that tomb, was there anything in there that

1069
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,240
was a, like a little Easter egg also?

1070
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:53,080
Well, there was a maximal cyber Tronics on the edge of the slab.

1071
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:54,240
They slid off.

1072
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:55,240
Yeah.

1073
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:57,480
But it doesn't seem to spell anything in English.

1074
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,080
It looks like it might be a code or it could just be gibberish.

1075
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,080
Yeah.

1076
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,080
Yeah.

1077
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Cause it's just, it's a string of letters and there's a number in front of each of the

1078
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,120
sets of letters.

1079
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:14,240
So I don't know if that's some kind of cipher or they may have just throw some random symbols

1080
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:15,240
up there.

1081
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,240
That's possible.

1082
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:17,560
I don't know if they put that much effort into it.

1083
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:18,560
I got it.

1084
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,360
I had to say they probably are trying to do something with it.

1085
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,120
So it seems almost like they, it's something hidden in there.

1086
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,760
Cause it looks like it could be something.

1087
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:33,040
Cause it's set in like segments, like their words, like there's a block of five, five

1088
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,080
five, then a block of four.

1089
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,640
And then I want to say a block of three or four at the end.

1090
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:44,320
And then there's numbers before each block.

1091
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,980
So yeah, it could be some kind of cipher that we just haven't been able to break.

1092
00:46:48,980 --> 00:46:53,780
And I actually, I put it through some cryptography programs and they couldn't really get anything

1093
00:46:53,780 --> 00:46:54,780
out of it.

1094
00:46:54,780 --> 00:46:57,080
So it may just be random.

1095
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,080
It's still a secret.

1096
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,080
Yeah.

1097
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,080
Who knows?

1098
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:07,840
But, excuse me, they get out there and of course they come up with the thing everyone

1099
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:13,160
has seen in the trailer, you know, the Maxwell's all show up and the Autobots all show up and

1100
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,480
there's a whole, you know, like, you know, who we are and that sort of thing back and

1101
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:24,160
forth with, and there's a little exposition going on with all this and the Maxwell's take

1102
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,800
them to the indigenous village, which was just kind of cool.

1103
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,000
It didn't seem, I say this as it was a white guy.

1104
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,520
It didn't seem exploitative at all.

1105
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,080
It seemed just, you know, this is part of it.

1106
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,440
This is where they live.

1107
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,760
This is their thing.

1108
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:44,960
It didn't feel like the girl from, what was that episode?

1109
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,840
The, I'm trying to remember that they had the Incan pyramids.

1110
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,600
Oh, Fire on the Mountain.

1111
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,240
It didn't seem as...

1112
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:55,240
Rich's girl in town.

1113
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:57,240
Green crystals hold all the energy back.

1114
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:58,240
Right.

1115
00:47:58,240 --> 00:47:59,920
It didn't seem like that though.

1116
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:00,920
It was just kind of nice.

1117
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:01,920
Yeah.

1118
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,760
Well, and you have the mention of raw energon at this part.

1119
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:05,760
Yeah.

1120
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,760
Yeah.

1121
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:12,200
And you know, that's obviously a reference right to, well, let me reference the Beast

1122
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,680
Wars in reference to, I would say Prime.

1123
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:17,680
Oh yeah.

1124
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:22,520
Well, and the IDW comics where they had the Regenesis where different planets were seeded

1125
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,400
with energon by Shockwave.

1126
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,280
Yes, right.

1127
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,400
But it's all inert like Beast Wars.

1128
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:29,400
Right.

1129
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,400
It was not usable.

1130
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,400
Right.

1131
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,800
It had to go through a process to become usable.

1132
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:34,800
Yeah.

1133
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:40,600
And I almost feel like that had something to do with, I don't know if that was something

1134
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:47,360
like in Beast Wars, you had the, they had the Vox burn off, a lot of the energon and

1135
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,920
became, you know, some of it became more usable.

1136
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,560
And Prime, it was the whole thing with dark energon and such because it was, you know,

1137
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,400
Unicron has a reference.

1138
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:00,880
So there's a lot of references.

1139
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,240
Yeah, it needed a big energy infusion basically to stabilize it.

1140
00:49:05,240 --> 00:49:07,880
And you got that from the Planet Buster in Beast Wars.

1141
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:08,880
And then-

1142
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,880
That's right.

1143
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:10,880
Yeah.

1144
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:11,880
So yeah.

1145
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:12,880
Sorry.

1146
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,920
Oh, and also the symbol that Elena wrote down from the temple, she copied it down.

1147
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,880
There goes the code, that's X. That's the maximal letter X.

1148
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,920
So it's QBX was the-

1149
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:26,920
XB, XQB.

1150
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:27,920
XQB, okay.

1151
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Yeah.

1152
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:29,920
Okay.

1153
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:34,520
So, I mean, that could be someone's initials for all we know.

1154
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:35,520
Oh yeah.

1155
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:40,840
Oh, and when Noah is talking to Elena and saying, we'll have to destroy this key when

1156
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:48,400
we get it, because it's a danger, that is a reference to the Nebulons from Rebirth,

1157
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,840
Part 3, where they wanted to destroy the key to the plasma energy chamber, because it's

1158
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,320
a threat to their world.

1159
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,320
That's right.

1160
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,680
So yeah, they dug up some like season four Easter egg right there.

1161
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,360
Killed the McGuffin, man.

1162
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,480
Because Optimus was telling them, you can't destroy the key.

1163
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:04,480
It's important.

1164
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,080
And the Nebulon's like, no, I don't listen to him.

1165
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,160
We got to destroy that key.

1166
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,320
Yeah, exactly.

1167
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:17,320
So yeah, that whole thing progresses along and- oh, thunderstorm here apparently.

1168
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:22,120
So yeah, we have all that going on.

1169
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,640
Scourge shoots this clampy thing onto A-Razor.

1170
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,480
It looks like, it almost looks like, it looks like Cosmic Rust a bit.

1171
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,480
I guess this is more like an infection.

1172
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:38,080
He's altering her or whatever.

1173
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:43,320
And I don't know if that was a reference to anything in particular.

1174
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,800
Yeah, it looked like an infection.

1175
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,600
At first, that's what I thought it was Cosmic Rust.

1176
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:55,440
And it almost looked like the viral pod that Tarantula shot onto Rhinox in Beast Wars.

1177
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:56,440
Kind of.

1178
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,640
Low road, because it had the little legs kind of pop out on it as it flew.

1179
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:01,640
It's true.

1180
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:07,600
I mean, it wasn't exactly like that, because that had like a fluid pod on it.

1181
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,280
But yeah, same type of device.

1182
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:16,760
Yeah, but yeah, it delivered like a virus that changed her personality, which also,

1183
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,320
I guess, is a reference to...

1184
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:19,320
Guerrilla warfare.

1185
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,320
Guerrilla warfare, yeah.

1186
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:25,720
So yeah, I mean, it may have just been a vague reference.

1187
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:27,520
It could just be that it was the same sort of thing.

1188
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:33,120
Instead of a cyber B, they kind of did the weird little thing.

1189
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:34,120
Cyber facehugger.

1190
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,120
Yeah, exactly.

1191
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,520
So you know something's going to come out later.

1192
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,520
It's like your check off his gun.

1193
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,520
Right.

1194
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:44,520
Oh yeah.

1195
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,520
And you see it, they don't hide it.

1196
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,600
She sees it and she's like, mess with it.

1197
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:48,600
It's a problem.

1198
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:49,600
She says it's going to be fine.

1199
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:50,600
You know it's not going to be.

1200
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,360
Oh yeah, when Scourge touches you, it leaves a mark.

1201
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,360
That was her.

1202
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,000
And it's like, that's the zombie bite.

1203
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Yeah.

1204
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,720
Oh no, no, it's just a scratch.

1205
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:01,720
You're exactly right.

1206
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:02,720
Yeah.

1207
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:04,480
Like that's going to come up later.

1208
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,920
Airazor was the guy who said he wasn't bitten.

1209
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:07,920
He hides it.

1210
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:08,920
He pulls a shirt sleeve down.

1211
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:09,920
No, no, I'm not bitten at all.

1212
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,920
What are you talking about?

1213
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:11,920
I got myself shaving.

1214
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,920
Your arm?

1215
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:16,920
Yeah.

1216
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,920
I'm really hairy.

1217
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:28,240
So yeah, that whole thing plays out and they're still trying to say they have, they get the

1218
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:30,680
other side of it.

1219
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,400
But you know, of course, Scourge is going to show up and you know, when they're trying

1220
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,960
to, no one wants to destroy the key.

1221
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,960
It's Airazor.

1222
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,240
You know, it turns to that point, jumping out of it.

1223
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:45,080
And of course, grabs the key and flies off of it and gives it to Scourge.

1224
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,840
So actually, no, flies off with Elena.

1225
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:48,840
Elena.

1226
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:49,840
Yeah.

1227
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:50,840
So they chase her.

1228
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,160
And Airazor is also covered with Maximal Cybertronics.

1229
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:59,960
It's all over her chest plate and on her shoulders, but it was too small for me to make out what

1230
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:00,960
anything said.

1231
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:01,960
Hmm.

1232
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:02,960
Okay.

1233
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:03,960
So it's a lot too.

1234
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,960
I mean, she's, it's like, she's all tatted up.

1235
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:11,840
Yeah, it may just been like, I don't know, I guess maybe said dressing, maybe.

1236
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:12,840
Oh yeah.

1237
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:18,760
Maybe like when we get the 4k DVD, Blu-ray, we can zoom in and see what it is.

1238
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:19,760
There you go.

1239
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,800
But also the RC and Wheeljack team up, you know, how they team up several times in the

1240
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,600
this movie.

1241
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:32,800
In the original drafts for the 1986 Transformers movie, RC and Wheeljack were a team.

1242
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,520
Oh, really nice.

1243
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:35,520
Yeah.

1244
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:36,520
So.

1245
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:37,520
He wasn't killed.

1246
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:38,520
Yeah.

1247
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,480
Well, yeah, he wasn't meant to be killed at all in the original drafts and the storyboards.

1248
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:48,200
It just said an Autobot, but that's that shows like they've obviously seen that the way they

1249
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:49,680
team those two up.

1250
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:50,680
Yeah.

1251
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,400
I wonder, I wonder if that, that little, that one frame from the original 1986 movie was

1252
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:56,400
an afterthought.

1253
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,280
They threw that in there with like wind charger and Wheeljack.

1254
00:53:58,280 --> 00:53:59,280
Oh yeah.

1255
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,520
And the, well, the, the storyboards, it looked like smoke screen.

1256
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:04,520
Oh.

1257
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:09,160
And it just said an Autobot next to wind, wind, wind charger was named, but the guy

1258
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,360
next to him wasn't.

1259
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,280
And they just threw in Wheeljack.

1260
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:13,280
That's too bad.

1261
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,280
Yeah.

1262
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:15,640
Of course he shows up in victory.

1263
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:16,640
Was it?

1264
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,640
Yeah.

1265
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,680
It was victory because he helped turn God, Jenry into victory Leo.

1266
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:22,680
That's right.

1267
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,600
So, you know, he got better, I guess.

1268
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,200
He was as bad as Des Bummelvue was.

1269
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,200
Oh yeah.

1270
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,400
Well, and in Japan, they actually explained it.

1271
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,680
That's the Binaltech Wheeljack that came over from the other universe.

1272
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:36,680
Oh, okay.

1273
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:37,680
Yeah.

1274
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:38,680
So he's a dimension hopper.

1275
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,680
He's a slider.

1276
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:40,680
It's Wheeljack for you.

1277
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,680
So yeah, moving around along though.

1278
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:42,680
I mean, they, so Scourge gets the key.

1279
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:51,680
He, he does this really cool thing that when he addresses Unicron and almost like he has

1280
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,520
his virtual reality like set up with his, the platform where he talks to him.

1281
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:57,520
Right.

1282
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:58,520
And it's kind of cool.

1283
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,920
I wondered almost if you were seeing kind of things how he sees it.

1284
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:03,920
Right.

1285
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:08,280
It wasn't really affecting the world around it, but it was, yeah, it's how he sees things.

1286
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,280
So he does a whole...

1287
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,400
When he got smacked around though, he really moved.

1288
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,400
Yeah, he did.

1289
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,760
Unicron wasn't gentle.

1290
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:16,760
No, no.

1291
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:22,800
And that was a nice reference to how Galvatron was tormented in the 1986 movie.

1292
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:23,800
Right.

1293
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,800
He killed him.

1294
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,240
He, he, you know, tormented him.

1295
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:30,800
And he also told him, you know, you'll wish you died with your planet.

1296
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:31,800
Yeah.

1297
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:32,800
Yeah.

1298
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,520
So that means he ate his world and I guess he kind of Noren ratted him.

1299
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,520
Exactly.

1300
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:38,520
Silver Surfer.

1301
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:39,520
Yep.

1302
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,920
Which, you know, that's, that's the one, the big things people say like, you know, in this

1303
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,920
obvious Unicron is definitely grabbed.

1304
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,260
He's lifted off of Galactus.

1305
00:55:47,260 --> 00:55:49,240
So once again, you have your Herald.

1306
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:50,240
Right.

1307
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:54,240
Which is, you know, Silver Surfer, Nova, what?

1308
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:55,960
The Fire Lord was the other one.

1309
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:56,960
Yeah.

1310
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:57,960
Like saying, it was a string of them.

1311
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:58,960
Yeah.

1312
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,580
They did a what if where Aunt May was his Herald.

1313
00:56:00,580 --> 00:56:01,580
Perfect.

1314
00:56:01,580 --> 00:56:04,640
Oh God, that's the Aunt May Amigo.

1315
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:09,300
The one who had the man hand.

1316
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:10,300
Oh yeah.

1317
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:13,380
That thing was horrifying.

1318
00:56:13,380 --> 00:56:16,660
God.

1319
00:56:16,660 --> 00:56:18,700
So yeah, that whole thing happens.

1320
00:56:18,700 --> 00:56:22,940
The, he starts, he has the I guess the whole thing.

1321
00:56:22,940 --> 00:56:23,940
I don't know where it comes from.

1322
00:56:23,940 --> 00:56:26,880
It just kind of forms out of the ground or something.

1323
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,680
The whole table dirge thing.

1324
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,440
Oh, yeah. I think what I was looking at, because you saw it was all like

1325
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,740
it was a dead volcanic magma chamber. Yeah. Yeah. OK.

1326
00:56:37,740 --> 00:56:41,580
And then when it formed, though, you started seeing the magma seeping up

1327
00:56:41,780 --> 00:56:43,840
to turn the lava made lava pits at the bottom.

1328
00:56:44,140 --> 00:56:47,880
So I think it was actually drawing like the andesite or whatever it is

1329
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,540
into it. So it was pulling up the magma.

1330
00:56:51,540 --> 00:56:54,180
Yeah. You sound like you're a geologist.

1331
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,440
I know a little bit. Yeah.

1332
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,180
So yeah, you have that whole thing happen.

1333
00:57:00,180 --> 00:57:01,640
So, yeah, I guess you can say it was, you know,

1334
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,780
it was constructed out of raw materials right there.

1335
00:57:04,180 --> 00:57:07,480
Yeah. That'd be my guess for it, because it makes sense.

1336
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,500
From the effects. Yeah. Really convenient explanation for it.

1337
00:57:11,740 --> 00:57:15,080
And we had another beast wars reference earlier with the indigenous tribe.

1338
00:57:15,340 --> 00:57:18,440
Yeah. Because they, you know,

1339
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,280
the optimist didn't want to make friends with the humans.

1340
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:22,620
Like he didn't want contact with them.

1341
00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:25,880
But saw the Maximals had befriended an indigenous tribe.

1342
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,820
And that's going back like Una and Chalk Beast Wars.

1343
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,680
Yeah. Where it wasn't they didn't just rescue them.

1344
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,040
Like they would hang out with them and teach them.

1345
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,820
Yeah. They're their protectors.

1346
00:57:35,820 --> 00:57:38,640
So yeah, yeah.

1347
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,140
Megatron didn't take them out. Yeah, he tried. He tried.

1348
00:57:43,940 --> 00:57:46,340
The so, yeah, the whole thing's happening.

1349
00:57:46,340 --> 00:57:51,880
And so he opens up the the passageway, the portal.

1350
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:54,500
It starts opening it up.

1351
00:57:54,500 --> 00:57:57,300
It's going to take a while to open up, to be big enough for Unicron to come through.

1352
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,700
But all those, those like, I guess, kind of shock troops come out of the

1353
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:05,240
foundation, the the.

1354
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:06,940
I don't know, the structure.

1355
00:58:06,940 --> 00:58:09,300
Yeah, they were just kind of coming out of it.

1356
00:58:09,300 --> 00:58:11,280
Yeah, like they had the kind of no right there.

1357
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,400
Yeah, which I that was kind of something

1358
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,800
I didn't put together with anything else, just, you know,

1359
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,880
I guess there's a convenient way to have shock troops.

1360
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,380
Yeah, that was your cannon fodder just showing up.

1361
00:58:21,380 --> 00:58:24,240
Exactly. Well, you got to have some of them fight.

1362
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,200
So, you know, everyone shows up.

1363
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,400
Well, I guess before that, they're all they're doing the thing.

1364
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,340
And the neighbor looks up and says, they're here or they've arrived.

1365
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,340
Oh, yeah. And you see big optimists standing on the.

1366
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,580
Yeah. The horizon there.

1367
00:58:38,580 --> 00:58:41,880
They all they all line up because, you know, that's how you want to start a fight.

1368
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,240
You all want to line up a row so people know where to fire.

1369
00:58:44,540 --> 00:58:46,900
I was waiting for them to start snapping their fingers.

1370
00:58:46,900 --> 00:58:49,240
Talk about becoming a jet. Exactly.

1371
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,200
They're going to West Side story. Oh, God.

1372
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,500
Oh, and on the key, the transwork key, the second piece.

1373
00:58:56,540 --> 00:58:59,440
Yeah, there's two times when they first presented to them.

1374
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,540
The Cybertronix is mirrored.

1375
00:59:02,540 --> 00:59:04,940
It's backwards. OK.

1376
00:59:04,940 --> 00:59:09,100
And it says he who opens the door in Cybertronix.

1377
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,800
And I think that was actually the first piece.

1378
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,740
Like they use the wrong prop because it says door

1379
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,280
going the right way when Elena is looking at it.

1380
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,580
So I think that was actually that piece.

1381
00:59:19,580 --> 00:59:22,800
But when Noah is going to destroy it and it's laying there in the sand,

1382
00:59:23,580 --> 00:59:25,980
it says, what is it?

1383
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,500
Oh, the keeper, the keys.

1384
00:59:28,500 --> 00:59:30,480
Yeah, right. He's all. Yeah.

1385
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,680
So, yeah, it says that along there.

1386
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,140
So it's a completely different inscription and it's going the right way.

1387
00:59:36,140 --> 00:59:38,040
So that's why I think they might have

1388
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,280
accidentally switched props because they looked a lot alike.

1389
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,180
Yeah, they they all look like that could have been.

1390
00:59:43,180 --> 00:59:48,480
Or maybe it's got, you know, the same inscription is mirrored on each piece.

1391
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,120
That could be also. Yeah, it could be either way with that.

1392
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,280
And when they're making their plan,

1393
00:59:55,780 --> 00:59:58,560
Wheeljack makes a rat trap quote.

1394
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,360
Oh, yes, right. Yeah.

1395
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,960
And it sounds like we're going to we're all going to die.

1396
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,920
Which is right. We're all going to die was rat traps catchphrase.

1397
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,520
But man, the the fight was great.

1398
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,280
You know, finally see Maxwell's maximize.

1399
01:00:11,780 --> 01:00:13,780
Right. Oh, yeah. And that was the other thing.

1400
01:00:13,780 --> 01:00:17,460
He actually yelled maximize, which was the activation code from the Beast Wars show.

1401
01:00:17,460 --> 01:00:23,660
Yeah. And honestly, I mean, Primal would find Cheetah Cheetah moves so fast

1402
01:00:23,660 --> 01:00:25,480
that really get a good look at him.

1403
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,980
Kind of kind of get me. But, you know, Rhinox looked cool.

1404
01:00:28,980 --> 01:00:32,420
He looked big. He looked like a big menacing, you know,

1405
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:36,060
figure. Oh, yeah. Freaking big hammer.

1406
01:00:36,060 --> 01:00:37,980
Yes. Yeah. It was cool.

1407
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:40,260
The war hammer. That was great.

1408
01:00:41,260 --> 01:00:43,960
And so, you know, the whole the whole fight is going on and, you know,

1409
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,520
it's it's starting to you know, it's it's going pretty well for the for the

1410
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,260
Maxwell's and the Autobots.

1411
01:00:49,260 --> 01:00:53,580
And then it was a big enough unicorn start coming through.

1412
01:00:53,580 --> 01:00:57,620
So he starts shooting through all the, you know, I guess, the little minions.

1413
01:00:57,620 --> 01:00:59,620
Yeah. The little scorpion minions.

1414
01:00:59,620 --> 01:01:04,180
Yeah. And and they're like, oh, they're kinder eggs.

1415
01:01:04,180 --> 01:01:05,180
Yeah.

1416
01:01:05,180 --> 01:01:08,420
It was a little bit like they're they're thinking like, oh, this is going to get

1417
01:01:08,420 --> 01:01:10,980
really bad. And that's what Stratosphere shows up.

1418
01:01:10,980 --> 01:01:16,820
And the re the resurrected bumblebee fires on the theater when I was there,

1419
01:01:16,820 --> 01:01:18,220
people lost it.

1420
01:01:19,220 --> 01:01:22,260
And oh, yeah. And the whole Energon resurrection thing,

1421
01:01:22,260 --> 01:01:25,420
that goes back to Revenge of the Fallen because that's how they brought jetfire

1422
01:01:25,420 --> 01:01:28,780
back. And I think that's the only thing that's going to be in the movie.

1423
01:01:28,780 --> 01:01:32,180
They're back. And also they needed a source of Energon,

1424
01:01:32,180 --> 01:01:34,460
which is why they needed the Matrix for Optimus.

1425
01:01:34,460 --> 01:01:35,580
Yeah, exactly.

1426
01:01:35,580 --> 01:01:37,220
So that fits.

1427
01:01:37,220 --> 01:01:43,020
That's within, you know, this the live action universes, I guess, lore.

1428
01:01:43,020 --> 01:01:49,020
But if they're dead, you can just give them enough Energon and they'll come back.

1429
01:01:49,020 --> 01:01:50,620
Jolt them enough to wake up.

1430
01:01:50,620 --> 01:01:54,460
Right. Yeah, that whole thing was great in that he's like he's falling and taking

1431
01:01:54,460 --> 01:01:57,820
out those little eggs, her little minion egg things.

1432
01:01:57,820 --> 01:02:02,380
And Nightbird shows up to goes after him and the whole fight goes on.

1433
01:02:02,380 --> 01:02:05,740
And you picked up on a great reference to the episode.

1434
01:02:05,740 --> 01:02:11,540
I can't remember the name of the ones where the spark of the spark.

1435
01:02:11,540 --> 01:02:15,540
OK, I thought it was the one where where Tarasort gets a lot of energy,

1436
01:02:15,540 --> 01:02:16,620
I guess it was on the spark.

1437
01:02:16,620 --> 01:02:18,540
Oh, that was power surge. Yeah.

1438
01:02:18,540 --> 01:02:21,220
But yeah, this one, it was the introduction of Air Razor.

1439
01:02:21,220 --> 01:02:22,380
That's right.

1440
01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:26,020
You know, and the first time they really went into sparks,

1441
01:02:26,020 --> 01:02:28,860
you know, in the lore at all. And yet.

1442
01:02:28,860 --> 01:02:31,860
At the end, she shoots him to pieces and he falls

1443
01:02:31,860 --> 01:02:34,940
very similar to the way that Nightbird's pieces fall.

1444
01:02:34,940 --> 01:02:37,380
One piece of the other head falls, you know.

1445
01:02:37,380 --> 01:02:43,340
Yeah, I was almost waiting for her head to drop right center screen like Tarasort.

1446
01:02:43,340 --> 01:02:47,740
And before that, though, there's a part where Unicron says he

1447
01:02:47,740 --> 01:02:50,580
I guess he's talking to Optimus and he says,

1448
01:02:50,580 --> 01:02:53,420
the world is already mine.

1449
01:02:53,420 --> 01:02:58,540
And that could be a veiled reference to that Unicron is actually

1450
01:02:58,540 --> 01:03:01,460
in the future that the Maximals came from.

1451
01:03:01,460 --> 01:03:06,460
So if this isn't a separate reality, then he could still be inside the Earth.

1452
01:03:06,460 --> 01:03:09,100
Like, that's a hint that he is in there.

1453
01:03:09,100 --> 01:03:13,500
Like that world is already mine because it's me.

1454
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:15,500
I mean, that could be.

1455
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:18,020
Yeah, that could be a veiled reference to that, because, you know,

1456
01:03:18,020 --> 01:03:20,140
they like to toy with us with that to leave it ambiguous.

1457
01:03:20,140 --> 01:03:22,540
So, yeah.

1458
01:03:22,540 --> 01:03:24,220
So, yeah, all that stuff's going on.

1459
01:03:24,220 --> 01:03:26,460
Bulb comes back, kills Nightbird.

1460
01:03:26,460 --> 01:03:34,500
And I love the whole team with Prime and Primal to take out Battle Trap.

1461
01:03:34,500 --> 01:03:35,300
Yeah.

1462
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:39,940
Which, once again, the Terracons, the minions of the Terracons,

1463
01:03:39,940 --> 01:03:46,500
the Scourge, but you had Battle Trap and Nightbird, neither of them were weak.

1464
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:47,780
They were tough.

1465
01:03:47,780 --> 01:03:48,460
They were for a reason.

1466
01:03:48,460 --> 01:03:52,260
They were they were minions of a dark god.

1467
01:03:52,260 --> 01:03:53,540
100%.

1468
01:03:53,540 --> 01:03:57,420
I did notice how, you know, he was the Scourge and his minions

1469
01:03:57,420 --> 01:04:00,660
were essentially invincible, but, you know, not really.

1470
01:04:00,660 --> 01:04:01,900
Right.

1471
01:04:01,900 --> 01:04:04,820
Well, that's like Beast Wars as well, because every time someone new shows up,

1472
01:04:04,820 --> 01:04:06,820
they're invincible until like the next episode.

1473
01:04:06,820 --> 01:04:08,500
Yeah, that's true.

1474
01:04:10,300 --> 01:04:12,820
Rampage is unstoppable until the next episode.

1475
01:04:12,820 --> 01:04:14,300
Right.

1476
01:04:14,300 --> 01:04:16,660
Yeah. But then everything is going on.

1477
01:04:16,660 --> 01:04:23,380
And, you know, of course, Elena and Noah go to try to stop for a convenient

1478
01:04:23,380 --> 01:04:28,460
tunnel underneath that bridge, which, you know, the convenient stuff for the plot.

1479
01:04:28,460 --> 01:04:29,300
Right.

1480
01:04:29,300 --> 01:04:31,580
Well, it was a maximal design, though.

1481
01:04:32,860 --> 01:04:35,340
That's why it had maximal Cybertronics controlling it,

1482
01:04:35,780 --> 01:04:38,300
because it came from the key.

1483
01:04:38,300 --> 01:04:41,940
OK. So, yeah, I guess they weren't worried about.

1484
01:04:41,940 --> 01:04:46,980
Humans messing them up because, you know, they're the good guys.

1485
01:04:46,980 --> 01:04:49,140
There's a there's all that's going on.

1486
01:04:49,140 --> 01:04:52,020
And they're saying something in.

1487
01:04:53,580 --> 01:04:58,660
I guess Scourge saw them down there and reaches down and grabs out Noah.

1488
01:04:59,140 --> 01:05:00,780
Mirage gave him away.

1489
01:05:00,780 --> 01:05:01,820
That's what it was.

1490
01:05:01,820 --> 01:05:04,420
Yeah. Mirage like, go Noah.

1491
01:05:04,420 --> 01:05:07,580
Like, oh, what's this?

1492
01:05:07,580 --> 01:05:10,340
It's right, because Mirage shows up as a he's trying to like,

1493
01:05:10,340 --> 01:05:12,340
get take care of Scourge by himself.

1494
01:05:12,340 --> 01:05:14,540
It's supposed to distract him.

1495
01:05:14,540 --> 01:05:16,940
Yeah, he's trying to pull a hot rod.

1496
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:20,100
Yeah. Yeah.

1497
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:22,540
No, you don't Megatron.

1498
01:05:24,340 --> 01:05:26,980
So, yeah, he gave away any, you know, so he pulls, you know,

1499
01:05:26,980 --> 01:05:28,980
Scourge pulls him out of there and Elena is down there.

1500
01:05:28,980 --> 01:05:33,580
She's she does her thing, you know, and takes out one of the little freezer guys.

1501
01:05:35,420 --> 01:05:39,060
So she's over there trying to code break the the the the bridge,

1502
01:05:39,060 --> 01:05:40,740
the key and all that.

1503
01:05:40,740 --> 01:05:44,860
But I I like how he did all this with Noah and Mirage.

1504
01:05:45,180 --> 01:05:47,860
So, you know, Noah's about to get killed.

1505
01:05:48,020 --> 01:05:51,380
And, you know, he covered Mirage covers covers him up.

1506
01:05:52,180 --> 01:05:54,860
And I guess, you know, it's his back shot out.

1507
01:05:55,620 --> 01:05:56,620
Yeah. And

1508
01:05:58,820 --> 01:06:01,260
so he's like, you know, like, hey, I promise you're a little brother.

1509
01:06:01,260 --> 01:06:03,300
I would take care of you.

1510
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:06,540
And so he he once again gives him a part of him and like,

1511
01:06:06,540 --> 01:06:08,740
creates this like kind of really cool exosuit.

1512
01:06:08,740 --> 01:06:10,660
And they did it really well.

1513
01:06:10,660 --> 01:06:12,340
I didn't know how it was going to look.

1514
01:06:12,340 --> 01:06:15,460
Oh, yeah. And the director, you know, Steven Capel,

1515
01:06:15,660 --> 01:06:19,180
John said he said that's a direct reference back to the exosuit

1516
01:06:19,180 --> 01:06:21,180
from the original movie.

1517
01:06:21,580 --> 01:06:22,900
Perfect. Yeah.

1518
01:06:22,900 --> 01:06:25,620
He said that's what inspired that because.

1519
01:06:27,020 --> 01:06:29,860
If I recall in the interview, he said that wasn't in the original script

1520
01:06:29,860 --> 01:06:32,860
and he thought about that and he wanted to add that.

1521
01:06:32,860 --> 01:06:34,340
It's perfect.

1522
01:06:34,340 --> 01:06:37,220
I mean, especially considering how we how the movie ended

1523
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:39,100
and who he met at the end of the movie. Yeah.

1524
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:41,340
And they were actually it's more like the Master Force.

1525
01:06:42,340 --> 01:06:44,660
It's the way it made him faster, stronger.

1526
01:06:44,660 --> 01:06:46,060
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought.

1527
01:06:46,060 --> 01:06:48,020
It looked like a Master Force suit.

1528
01:06:48,020 --> 01:06:50,860
Even like the point there, he had pretty nice guns on him.

1529
01:06:50,860 --> 01:06:52,780
He had, you know, jetpack and everything.

1530
01:06:52,780 --> 01:06:54,860
Oh, yeah. He had he got an upgrade.

1531
01:06:55,260 --> 01:06:56,860
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1532
01:06:56,860 --> 01:06:57,940
That a doubt.

1533
01:06:57,940 --> 01:06:59,580
And then that whole fight goes on.

1534
01:06:59,580 --> 01:07:04,660
And I really, really like the whole, you know, prime

1535
01:07:04,660 --> 01:07:07,420
finally taking out scourge, ripping us his way.

1536
01:07:07,740 --> 01:07:12,460
Did was it Mirage or or Noah that ripped off his face mask?

1537
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:15,500
Oh, yeah. Mirage kick the face mask off. Yeah.

1538
01:07:16,020 --> 01:07:21,060
Yeah. He looked like a like a like a like a unwrapped mummy or a lich or something.

1539
01:07:21,220 --> 01:07:22,620
Yeah. He had a little chains.

1540
01:07:22,620 --> 01:07:25,180
If you look, he had small chains holding his face on.

1541
01:07:25,220 --> 01:07:27,780
Yeah. So and part of his cheek is gone.

1542
01:07:27,780 --> 01:07:30,020
Like one eye is just kind of barely hanging there.

1543
01:07:30,540 --> 01:07:33,060
Actually, you know, kind of remind me of the same kind of look that

1544
01:07:33,060 --> 01:07:36,580
the the mummy from the first Mummy movie.

1545
01:07:37,100 --> 01:07:38,820
Right. When he's got the holes in his face.

1546
01:07:38,820 --> 01:07:41,820
Yeah. Yeah. But is, you know, with this style.

1547
01:07:42,420 --> 01:07:44,380
Right. Yeah. I could totally see that.

1548
01:07:44,380 --> 01:07:49,300
Yeah. You know, prime, you know, had him have a good fight.

1549
01:07:49,300 --> 01:07:50,780
And he eventually takes me out.

1550
01:07:50,780 --> 01:07:53,580
He shows his face in the magma.

1551
01:07:54,380 --> 01:07:56,620
It burns it and basically rips him apart.

1552
01:07:56,980 --> 01:07:59,580
And there's a prime wars trilogy reference there.

1553
01:07:59,580 --> 01:08:02,700
So he says, yeah, this is the power of a prime.

1554
01:08:03,100 --> 01:08:04,500
There you go. Yeah.

1555
01:08:04,980 --> 01:08:07,260
And Noah hacked the hinges.

1556
01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:12,300
You do remember from remember Go with the Flow, the episode from Beast Wars

1557
01:08:12,300 --> 01:08:15,940
where they were teaching the the proto humans how to fight Predacons.

1558
01:08:16,620 --> 01:08:19,380
And they told me you hack the hinges, basically stab them in their joints.

1559
01:08:19,620 --> 01:08:21,300
That's right. And I did.

1560
01:08:21,300 --> 01:08:22,740
Yeah, he hacked his hinges.

1561
01:08:22,740 --> 01:08:24,740
He did like a like Mary.

1562
01:08:25,220 --> 01:08:28,820
Oh, you're a brandy buck on the witch king and got him right in the head.

1563
01:08:28,820 --> 01:08:30,460
And got him right in the ankle.

1564
01:08:30,460 --> 01:08:32,740
That's right. And let prime get him.

1565
01:08:33,700 --> 01:08:36,660
Nice. And, you know, they they they

1566
01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:41,620
everything about the key, it's hacked and, you know, it gets basically

1567
01:08:42,860 --> 01:08:46,220
it gets undone and the the riff starts closing and everyone's,

1568
01:08:46,220 --> 01:08:47,660
you know, getting sucked in.

1569
01:08:47,660 --> 01:08:50,700
Prime says, you know, get basically says, I'm going to do this

1570
01:08:50,700 --> 01:08:52,860
so you can all survive. Yeah.

1571
01:08:52,860 --> 01:08:55,580
And of course, Noah shows up and saves them and they get out there.

1572
01:08:56,300 --> 01:08:58,700
You know, we'll get all the way from all the drama.

1573
01:08:58,700 --> 01:09:01,420
That essentially they get away, which is it was a nice,

1574
01:09:01,700 --> 01:09:05,300
you know, thing where it sucked all that technology out with it.

1575
01:09:05,740 --> 01:09:09,700
Mm hmm. And including pulling the unicorn out with it and everything like that.

1576
01:09:09,700 --> 01:09:12,140
All the minions, everything went out with it.

1577
01:09:12,140 --> 01:09:15,780
And if you watch when Optimus transforms, you know, they do the big heroic exit

1578
01:09:15,780 --> 01:09:17,420
and he transforms into a truck.

1579
01:09:17,420 --> 01:09:23,700
Yeah, he transforms exactly like well, not exactly, but like the G1 toy.

1580
01:09:23,700 --> 01:09:25,220
Head and all. Yeah, I saw that.

1581
01:09:25,220 --> 01:09:28,220
Yeah. The arms go to the side and everything.

1582
01:09:28,220 --> 01:09:29,820
Yeah, that was really nice.

1583
01:09:29,820 --> 01:09:32,780
My son noticed that first. He's like, he did it like the toy.

1584
01:09:35,380 --> 01:09:37,780
That's nice. Yeah, I kind of I saw that,

1585
01:09:37,780 --> 01:09:40,700
but it was so much going on that I wanted to, you know, stop and, you know,

1586
01:09:40,700 --> 01:09:44,580
what? Yeah, when you watch it and watch it, it's like it's a pretty reasonable

1587
01:09:44,580 --> 01:09:46,260
facsimile of what he did.

1588
01:09:46,260 --> 01:09:50,540
And, you know, in the TV show, too, he transformed like the toy in the G1 cartoon.

1589
01:09:50,860 --> 01:09:53,860
So they all get out of there and, you know, everything's cool and.

1590
01:09:55,140 --> 01:09:57,700
And, you know, everyone's happy and, you know,

1591
01:09:57,700 --> 01:10:00,780
you know, the Maxwell's go off there, the other thing,

1592
01:10:00,780 --> 01:10:03,340
and they have this big, nice alliance now.

1593
01:10:03,340 --> 01:10:06,460
And, you know, they everyone kind of got away except for Mirage.

1594
01:10:06,460 --> 01:10:08,620
You don't know what happened to him because it looks like he's dead.

1595
01:10:08,620 --> 01:10:11,780
And they even go back in stratosphere when they're flying back and,

1596
01:10:12,740 --> 01:10:15,220
you know, no one's looking at the suit hanging up.

1597
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:17,940
It's almost like he's mourning Mirage. Yeah.

1598
01:10:17,940 --> 01:10:21,460
Looking at the suit, which in the test screening, which, you know,

1599
01:10:21,740 --> 01:10:24,340
they had the guy last week that went to the test screen last year.

1600
01:10:24,340 --> 01:10:28,060
He said that there wasn't a Mirage like

1601
01:10:28,540 --> 01:10:33,340
resurrection scene or come back scene like he was just gone at that point.

1602
01:10:34,780 --> 01:10:37,300
In the test screening, and they decided they needed to fix that,

1603
01:10:37,300 --> 01:10:39,460
which I'm glad they did, because it's a great character.

1604
01:10:39,740 --> 01:10:43,300
Oh, it's great character. And he you know, he came back.

1605
01:10:43,300 --> 01:10:46,420
He reminded me, you know, the old Frosted Snowman cartoon.

1606
01:10:46,540 --> 01:10:48,180
Oh, yeah. They put the hat on him.

1607
01:10:48,180 --> 01:10:51,820
You put the Ottawa symbol on the hood ornament and then, you know,

1608
01:10:51,820 --> 01:10:53,380
he comes back, happy birthday.

1609
01:10:55,260 --> 01:10:57,740
Yeah, man. I was a big fan of P.

1610
01:10:57,740 --> 01:10:59,220
Davidson doing that.

1611
01:10:59,220 --> 01:11:01,980
Oh, he did a great job. Had fun doing it.

1612
01:11:01,980 --> 01:11:04,620
Yeah. I love seeing that the premiere.

1613
01:11:04,620 --> 01:11:07,340
He had the all blue, you know,

1614
01:11:07,340 --> 01:11:09,220
Jogging suit with big Ottawa symbol on it.

1615
01:11:09,620 --> 01:11:11,140
Oh, yeah. He was having a lot of fun with.

1616
01:11:11,140 --> 01:11:12,140
Oh, he's living it up.

1617
01:11:12,940 --> 01:11:15,740
Alaina, like I referenced earlier, she, she was like,

1618
01:11:15,740 --> 01:11:18,540
Oh, really? Because in the test screen, they didn't have that.

1619
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:21,540
And when they asked the people, because, you know, they interview them

1620
01:11:21,540 --> 01:11:22,860
or have them fill out cards.

1621
01:11:22,860 --> 01:11:24,660
And that was one thing that everybody was saying is, well,

1622
01:11:24,660 --> 01:11:25,860
what happened with Alaina?

1623
01:11:26,260 --> 01:11:27,860
Where's her conclusion?

1624
01:11:27,860 --> 01:11:29,260
And so they added that.

1625
01:11:30,260 --> 01:11:32,660
To the final version, because it was left out of the first one.

1626
01:11:33,140 --> 01:11:34,660
That's a good conclusion. I like that.

1627
01:11:34,860 --> 01:11:35,860
Oh, yeah.

1628
01:11:36,260 --> 01:11:39,060
And she got to come up and got the credit finally.

1629
01:11:39,060 --> 01:11:40,060
Yeah.

1630
01:11:40,060 --> 01:11:42,140
And then she was like, oh, I'm going to go with the

1631
01:11:42,140 --> 01:11:46,260
one that she was talking about, and she got to come up and got the credit finally.

1632
01:11:46,460 --> 01:11:47,460
Yeah, exactly.

1633
01:11:47,940 --> 01:11:49,740
It was only asking this, though.

1634
01:11:49,740 --> 01:11:53,460
I haven't read that document is the GIG reference at the end of it.

1635
01:11:53,460 --> 01:11:55,060
Was that in the original test screen?

1636
01:11:55,540 --> 01:11:57,140
No, I don't think so.

1637
01:11:57,140 --> 01:11:59,140
I don't think. Yeah, I don't think it was.

1638
01:12:00,060 --> 01:12:01,460
I really like that.

1639
01:12:01,460 --> 01:12:06,060
You know how he kind of lead them on the job interview.

1640
01:12:06,060 --> 01:12:08,060
So you want to tell me about your friends out there?

1641
01:12:08,060 --> 01:12:11,740
You know, important, no, he's just trying to do his right.

1642
01:12:11,740 --> 01:12:13,940
He's like, I'm talking about it again.

1643
01:12:13,940 --> 01:12:15,940
That's good. It's a good answer.

1644
01:12:16,660 --> 01:12:22,340
And I don't know, they had the he opened the he did the I guess was the picture.

1645
01:12:22,940 --> 01:12:23,860
Oh, yeah.

1646
01:12:23,860 --> 01:12:26,060
Open the the the panel and share the

1647
01:12:26,740 --> 01:12:30,860
and look like it kind of reminded me of the the the M.I.V. headquarters.

1648
01:12:31,260 --> 01:12:33,340
The he said, did you see what the plaque said?

1649
01:12:34,060 --> 01:12:35,140
I did not.

1650
01:12:35,140 --> 01:12:38,380
It was the real hero award and had an American flag.

1651
01:12:38,380 --> 01:12:41,140
So it was a real American hero.

1652
01:12:41,140 --> 01:12:42,300
Nice.

1653
01:12:43,540 --> 01:12:45,100
What was really working on down there?

1654
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:48,260
It looks like it looked like a pod from the 2007 movie.

1655
01:12:48,620 --> 01:12:51,900
Oh, no, that was a Terracon drop ship.

1656
01:12:52,180 --> 01:12:53,500
OK, that was what that was.

1657
01:12:53,500 --> 01:12:54,140
Yeah. Yeah.

1658
01:12:54,140 --> 01:12:56,460
Scourge came down in the beginning when he fought Ape Link.

1659
01:12:56,940 --> 01:12:59,460
Right. OK. It's the same ship or a similar ship.

1660
01:12:59,460 --> 01:13:01,420
If it's not the exact same thing.

1661
01:13:01,420 --> 01:13:02,300
OK, perfect.

1662
01:13:02,300 --> 01:13:06,020
That's what they dug it out of the out of the river and pulled it up.

1663
01:13:06,620 --> 01:13:10,780
Yeah. They're going to reverse engineer some technology out of that.

1664
01:13:11,420 --> 01:13:17,260
Cool. And also his the guy's name is Agent Burke, according to his card.

1665
01:13:17,540 --> 01:13:18,820
Uh huh. OK.

1666
01:13:18,820 --> 01:13:21,900
There wasn't a G.I. Joe named Agent Burke.

1667
01:13:23,300 --> 01:13:25,820
But there was a character who was

1668
01:13:27,060 --> 01:13:31,020
the spy who rooked me was the episode and they had like the James Bond guy

1669
01:13:31,020 --> 01:13:34,580
that was with them that kept, you know, making Flint mad.

1670
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:38,860
Yeah. His name was Agent Matthew Burke.

1671
01:13:39,180 --> 01:13:40,220
Nice.

1672
01:13:40,220 --> 01:13:43,300
So that may be a reference back to that or it has to be.

1673
01:13:43,300 --> 01:13:44,420
Coincidence.

1674
01:13:44,420 --> 01:13:46,980
Not that this got to be.

1675
01:13:46,980 --> 01:13:50,300
I mean, all the other G.I. Joe names they could have used, they didn't.

1676
01:13:51,980 --> 01:13:53,660
That's great.

1677
01:13:54,860 --> 01:13:57,700
I mean, honestly, at the end of the day, though, it was it was a fun movie.

1678
01:13:57,740 --> 01:13:59,940
I enjoyed the hell out of it.

1679
01:13:59,940 --> 01:14:02,660
And I mean, it's it's at this point

1680
01:14:03,420 --> 01:14:06,340
it was about to hit two million in ticket sales.

1681
01:14:07,020 --> 01:14:07,980
Oh, yeah.

1682
01:14:07,980 --> 01:14:12,900
It's it should be back to being a success.

1683
01:14:12,900 --> 01:14:14,780
I mean, I would hope.

1684
01:14:15,540 --> 01:14:20,020
We haven't gotten to the idea of the the online sales or the DVDs

1685
01:14:20,020 --> 01:14:22,060
or what the sales or anything like that are Blu-ray sales.

1686
01:14:22,620 --> 01:14:25,420
Oh, yeah, that's yeah, that just keeps building and building.

1687
01:14:25,660 --> 01:14:28,900
And I think it just opened across the, you know,

1688
01:14:28,900 --> 01:14:32,660
in an Asian market, too, which is market is actually one of the biggest markets

1689
01:14:32,660 --> 01:14:33,660
for Transformers movies.

1690
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:37,940
Oh, and the test screening, they had like a very different ending

1691
01:14:38,340 --> 01:14:41,500
in the test screening, Optimus got pulled through the portal

1692
01:14:42,220 --> 01:14:45,740
and they had a after credit scene that showed him

1693
01:14:45,740 --> 01:14:49,340
waking up in space and Unicron's there with them like he's with Unicron.

1694
01:14:49,460 --> 01:14:52,260
And like let the cliffhanger.

1695
01:14:52,260 --> 01:14:53,980
Oh, that would be cool, too.

1696
01:14:53,980 --> 01:14:55,700
Yeah, it seemed almost like they were going to go back

1697
01:14:55,700 --> 01:14:58,820
to the whole Nemesis Prime thing, but I think they decided they already did that.

1698
01:14:58,820 --> 01:15:01,020
So they didn't do it really well either.

1699
01:15:01,020 --> 01:15:03,620
It was a that was a that was a mess.

1700
01:15:03,660 --> 01:15:04,780
It was odd.

1701
01:15:04,780 --> 01:15:08,500
But yeah, in the test screen, yeah, they had like that whole cliffhanger

1702
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:10,580
where Optimus is stuck on the other side of the portal.

1703
01:15:10,900 --> 01:15:13,260
He pulled a Tony Stark.

1704
01:15:13,260 --> 01:15:14,260
That's right.

1705
01:15:16,060 --> 01:15:17,260
Man, OK.

1706
01:15:18,500 --> 01:15:20,340
Those are all the Easter eggs that I caught.

1707
01:15:20,340 --> 01:15:23,340
I mean, and like with the power of the prime scene, that was also

1708
01:15:23,340 --> 01:15:26,820
the first time that Ron Perlman played Optimus Primal.

1709
01:15:26,940 --> 01:15:30,540
Yep. And the first time the Optimus Primal teamed up with Optimus Prime.

1710
01:15:30,940 --> 01:15:34,980
Yeah. And it would have been really cool to have Gary Chalk

1711
01:15:34,980 --> 01:15:37,020
do the voice, but I think Ron Perlman did a good job.

1712
01:15:37,500 --> 01:15:38,700
Yeah, he did a good job.

1713
01:15:38,700 --> 01:15:40,580
I always want Uncle Gary on me.

1714
01:15:40,580 --> 01:15:42,340
Yeah, I know. I know.

1715
01:15:42,340 --> 01:15:44,580
I mean, all of it was good.

1716
01:15:45,260 --> 01:15:47,740
Honestly, Rimex didn't really have a whole lot of lines.

1717
01:15:47,740 --> 01:15:50,940
That was that was David Sabolov, wasn't it?

1718
01:15:50,940 --> 01:15:53,420
Yeah, in the test screen, he had one line

1719
01:15:53,980 --> 01:15:57,020
and they actually made a joke about him not having any lines

1720
01:15:57,020 --> 01:15:59,620
because when he speaks, I think Noah goes, you can talk.

1721
01:16:00,780 --> 01:16:02,060
They said that in the test screen.

1722
01:16:02,060 --> 01:16:03,220
That part got cut out.

1723
01:16:03,220 --> 01:16:07,340
But that was like a little joke about him not having any other lines in the movie.

1724
01:16:07,820 --> 01:16:10,980
But David Sabolov, if I recall correctly,

1725
01:16:10,980 --> 01:16:13,740
he did Aplink's voice also and Battle Trap.

1726
01:16:14,700 --> 01:16:16,500
He did. He did.

1727
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:19,340
Aplink, yeah. And Battle Trap.

1728
01:16:19,340 --> 01:16:21,660
Yeah, I believe he did Battle Trap also.

1729
01:16:22,140 --> 01:16:24,620
And a lot of people said that when they heard Aplink,

1730
01:16:24,620 --> 01:16:26,340
they thought it might have been Gary Chalk.

1731
01:16:26,340 --> 01:16:30,540
So David Sabolov may have been channeling some Uncle Gary into it.

1732
01:16:30,820 --> 01:16:33,020
Oh, I'm sure he was. I'm sure he was.

1733
01:16:33,580 --> 01:16:35,180
Well, cool, man.

1734
01:16:35,180 --> 01:16:38,300
This is going a lot longer than I thought it was, but there was a long movie.

1735
01:16:38,300 --> 01:16:40,180
A lot. We could have talked about this a lot longer.

1736
01:16:40,180 --> 01:16:41,260
So, oh, yeah.

1737
01:16:41,260 --> 01:16:44,140
And I guarantee you there are Easter eggs that we missed.

1738
01:16:44,140 --> 01:16:46,340
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's very layered.

1739
01:16:46,340 --> 01:16:48,740
So definitely check that out.

1740
01:16:48,740 --> 01:16:51,500
As soon as I get to see it again in theaters,

1741
01:16:51,500 --> 01:16:53,620
but if not, then definitely going to get it streaming.

1742
01:16:53,620 --> 01:16:56,900
So you'll watch all those things over and over again and drive my wife nuts.

1743
01:16:59,580 --> 01:17:03,420
And it's worth seeing over and over again, because every time I watch,

1744
01:17:03,420 --> 01:17:06,940
I watch it multiple times and I see something new every time.

1745
01:17:06,940 --> 01:17:11,140
Yeah. And it's not like the other like the earlier Bay films where

1746
01:17:11,140 --> 01:17:14,980
you see new things because there's so much going on that you can't focus on.

1747
01:17:14,980 --> 01:17:20,460
This is like there's like layers of, you know, nostalgia hidden here and there.

1748
01:17:20,940 --> 01:17:23,580
I heard I saw I read a lot of reviews saying it was a mess.

1749
01:17:23,580 --> 01:17:25,060
Like there's too much going on.

1750
01:17:25,060 --> 01:17:27,700
And I don't agree at all.

1751
01:17:27,700 --> 01:17:31,300
It was the whole ending, the whole ending battle.

1752
01:17:31,620 --> 01:17:34,980
There's a lot going on, but it didn't seem like it wasn't a mess.

1753
01:17:34,980 --> 01:17:37,140
I could see it wasn't a lot of blurred stuff.

1754
01:17:38,100 --> 01:17:39,940
Yeah, the camera tracked pretty well, I thought.

1755
01:17:39,940 --> 01:17:41,700
Yeah, yeah, I did, actually.

1756
01:17:41,700 --> 01:17:42,700
All of that.

1757
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:46,900
The Maxwell's looked like they didn't look blobby at all, which I was afraid of.

1758
01:17:47,380 --> 01:17:51,460
I think on the trailer Primal, when he transformed, he looked a little blobby to me.

1759
01:17:51,460 --> 01:17:53,780
But when I saw the movie, it was not at all.

1760
01:17:53,780 --> 01:17:54,780
Oh, yeah.

1761
01:17:54,780 --> 01:17:56,740
When that was early CGI in those trailers, too.

1762
01:17:56,740 --> 01:17:57,740
Exactly.

1763
01:17:57,740 --> 01:17:58,740
I hadn't finished it yet.

1764
01:17:59,220 --> 01:18:00,620
Everything about it looked great.

1765
01:18:00,620 --> 01:18:02,380
So I was really happy about it.

1766
01:18:02,380 --> 01:18:04,460
And there's a director's cut coming out.

1767
01:18:04,460 --> 01:18:05,460
That's what I hear.

1768
01:18:05,460 --> 01:18:07,260
He was he wanted to have some more stuff in it.

1769
01:18:07,260 --> 01:18:09,660
I guess he had a bunch more than he had to cut for time.

1770
01:18:09,660 --> 01:18:10,660
Yeah.

1771
01:18:10,660 --> 01:18:13,940
And there were some that they cut because of the test audience.

1772
01:18:13,940 --> 01:18:14,940
Yeah.

1773
01:18:14,940 --> 01:18:19,260
Because there's a scene where Optimus kills a Decepticon named Transit.

1774
01:18:20,260 --> 01:18:21,260
Really?

1775
01:18:21,260 --> 01:18:22,260
Yeah.

1776
01:18:22,260 --> 01:18:23,260
In the beginning of the movie.

1777
01:18:23,260 --> 01:18:27,860
And they felt that it kind of slowed down the pace at first, because it's going in how

1778
01:18:27,860 --> 01:18:33,860
Optimus misses Cybertron, you know, and he's mocking him about Cybertron.

1779
01:18:34,740 --> 01:18:38,620
And then he dumps his body in the river and there's like all these dead Decepticons in

1780
01:18:38,620 --> 01:18:39,620
the river down there.

1781
01:18:39,620 --> 01:18:40,620
Holy crap.

1782
01:18:40,620 --> 01:18:44,620
And yeah, they say that was kind of dark and they hadn't developed the CGI for the river

1783
01:18:44,620 --> 01:18:45,620
part.

1784
01:18:45,620 --> 01:18:49,620
But he says the the transit fight is almost finished anyway.

1785
01:18:49,620 --> 01:18:52,620
So he's going to add that in the director's cut.

1786
01:18:53,620 --> 01:18:55,620
But he says the river dump scene won't be there.

1787
01:18:55,620 --> 01:19:00,620
He says it was kind of dark and it wasn't ever that part wasn't finished.

1788
01:19:00,620 --> 01:19:03,620
I'll say again, he's an angry Prime.

1789
01:19:03,620 --> 01:19:04,620
Oh, yeah.

1790
01:19:04,620 --> 01:19:06,620
He's a grumpy Prime.

1791
01:19:06,620 --> 01:19:09,620
All right, man, I appreciate you doing this with you tonight.

1792
01:19:09,620 --> 01:19:13,620
I want to get something out there because Ed had a busy last weekend, so we weren't

1793
01:19:13,620 --> 01:19:15,620
able to record the usual episode.

1794
01:19:15,620 --> 01:19:18,620
But I want to get this I'll get this put up soon as possible.

1795
01:19:18,620 --> 01:19:20,620
And thanks for everyone for checking us out again.

1796
01:19:20,620 --> 01:19:22,620
And thanks, everybody.

1797
01:19:22,620 --> 01:19:23,620
Yeah, definitely.

1798

Check out the Axon Underground net.

1799

That's where Boo is Webmaster until it's laid off.

1800
01:19:28,620 --> 01:19:29,620
Yeah.

1801
01:19:29,620 --> 01:19:32,620
For all the money you get paid from the owner.

1802
01:19:32,620 --> 01:19:36,620
Yeah, that guy didn't pay me anything.

1803
01:19:36,620 --> 01:19:37,620
I'm busy.

1804
01:19:37,620 --> 01:19:38,620
Just like scourge.

1805
01:19:38,620 --> 01:19:39,620
Right.

1806
01:19:39,620 --> 01:19:41,620
He just torments me.

1807
01:19:41,620 --> 01:19:42,620
Exactly.

1808
01:19:42,620 --> 01:19:43,620
All right, guys.

1809
01:19:43,620 --> 01:19:45,620
I'm getting busy.

1810
01:19:45,620 --> 01:19:51,620
By the way, a little, you know, back to what we have been referencing a lot of last

1811
01:19:51,620 --> 01:19:53,620
episodes.

1812
01:19:53,620 --> 01:19:57,620
Simon Letch, who has the Sunbow archive.

1813
01:19:57,620 --> 01:20:00,120
He was able to get the

1814
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,620
Sunbow archive.

1815
01:20:02,620 --> 01:20:07,620
He was able to, you know, kind of wriggle out of his dire straits he was in.

1816
01:20:07,620 --> 01:20:09,620
He's, he's not homeless.

1817
01:20:09,620 --> 01:20:10,620
So that's a good thing.

1818
01:20:10,620 --> 01:20:12,620
So yeah, he got his rent paid.

1819
01:20:12,620 --> 01:20:14,620
So yeah, everyone helped with that.

1820
01:20:14,620 --> 01:20:15,620
Thanks a bunch.

1821
01:20:15,620 --> 01:20:18,620
You know, I'm sure he's a lot more thankful than I would be.

1822
01:20:18,620 --> 01:20:20,120
But he does a lot of good stuff.

1823
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,620
I think has a lot of great stuff out there for everyone.

1824
01:20:22,620 --> 01:20:25,620
So I want to make sure we could do what we could on our end.

1825
01:20:25,620 --> 01:20:27,620
Yeah.

1826
01:20:27,620 --> 01:20:31,620
