Transformers are way better than Gobots

The little tack on for Optimus in robot heaven was nice.  Still disgusted that they gave Wheeljack an off-screen jobber death in the film #justiceforwheeljack.

I'm going tonight with the wife. Then again tomorrow with my niece. A friend and his 2 daughters.

I've never watched it on the big screen.

Waiting in the Directors Lounge. The guys from Triple Takeover podcast are here. I'm too scared to say hello.

Great fun watching it on the big screen. There's so much more visible detail. The extra short at the end is very well done.

Well worth the experience, if nothing else for the fact they didn’t put up a cleaned up transfer of the film, it looked and felt like it would have done in 86. The second that Lion theme kicked in sent goosebumps down my arm 

Really loved the Awakening short as well, a perfect send off for Peter Cullen, especially having Frank Welker alongside him as both Soundwave and Megatron

There's some grumblings going around on the print not being enhanced. I thought it still looked glorious! Will take a closer look when I watch it again today.

Could be worse. Could be Sunstreaker, Hound, Huffer or Bluestreak, on that bridge doing repairs with Kup, assumed killed without confirmation. Or from my perspective, Sideswipe who I thought was coolest as a kid, scene left on the cutting room floor.

Of Wheeljack, I assume everyone who’s a big enough Tranny to visit this thread knows it was originally drafted to be Smokescreen and in the wide shot of Arcee dragging Windcharger and Springer struggling with the missile launcher, you can see Smokeys corpse in the corner?

Watching it last night. It is really quite jarring how many characters they killed off in quick succession.

If anyone hasn't watched it on the big screen. Please do take this opportunity. Enjoy.
