TLK is definitely a lot worse with the way it tries to hard retcon/reboot the verse simultaneously.

I personally dislike AoE more because: The drones are pathetic, supposedely better then the real Autobots but Cade, Bumblebee and Hound somehow were able to hold off many of them, didn't even felt like they needed the Dinobots, they were that unthreatening.
The first and only time I saw AoE I have no idea who the **** was Stinger because I was sure I saw many red robots like him around, I also dislike how the KSI bots "Transform", the Dinobots were barely there, and the usual bad stick from these movies
TLK might have retconned a lot of stuff, which is pretty bad, but I at least liked... some of the designs, Megatron's never look more sick in Bay movies (Although it doesn't make sense how he goes from Galvatron to Megatron but whatever) and I also like Barricade's new design (Insert complain about not making sense how he was there in the first place). Mind you, lot of stuff to hate there, lots, lots, and losts of stuff to hate there, but the actual Decepticons are distinct and have better designs then the AoE ones so I think it is more pleasant to the eyes

If I had to rate it from best to worst, it'd be DotM, 2007, RotF, and then AoE and TLK are interchangeable to me cause they're both equally sh*t. AoE was the first movie I ever actually had to check what time it was while watching it as a kid. It was boring as hell. TLK is just sh*t and the only good parts are from it being so bad it just ends up being comedic

It's a brand new thing. I highly recommend it dude, Paramount's awful marketing and release scheduling are REALLY screwing this movie over, and as for now, the bof office is only 90 mill with a 75 mill budget.
Hoping China and Europe saves us because Paramount dumbasses haven't released the movie there yet

It did? I've been told it hasn't. Huh
I just hope it at least manages to hit 200 mill since that's the minimum for this movie to be a success
- 4,755

It released back on the 27th and apparently it's only made 10 mil there so far apparently so ain't looking good so far

If I were to rank the Michael Bay movies, from best to worst it’d be 2007, DotM, RotF, AoE, TLK.
2007 has a whole lot of nostalgia bias backing it, since it was my introduction to the franchise, but I really enjoy watching it and I’ve rewatched it way more than any other Bayverse movie. Also ‘07 had the best Megatron design and I will not hear otherwise
AoE and TLK are both similar levels of shit. I think TLK is a worse movie overall, but it’s got more things that I find cool on a conceptual level (Megatron and Barricade’s new designs, the knights, Quintessa). AoE is a better movie (but that’s not really a high bar), but the only things I really like from it are Stinger and the Dinobot designs (especially Scorn).

I have one question, what canon does Transformers One take place in? Is it a prequel to the original, it's own thing, or something else? I'm trying to get into Transformer discussions ever since I saw that film, like, 30 minutes ago. I've seen a decent portion of the franchise but I've never been dedicated to it before
- 7,811

Its own thing, the whole thing is essentially "new", not really being a thing before in any TF medis
- 24,976
- 26,824
Like he said. It's meant to be an "entry level" film that anyone can get into. You don't need to know any prior stuff as the movie gives you the basics of all its lore.

It's so bad it's funny. The "Is Transformers One Out?" Twitter guy has done more to advertise this movie than Paramount has.It's a brand new thing. I highly recommend it dude, Paramount's awful marketing and release scheduling are REALLY screwing this movie over, and as for now, the bof office is only 90 mill with a 75 mill budget.

Does anyone know how much power Primus had when he merged with vector sigma in IDW?
- 42,640
- 36,907
Neither are Multiversal versions
- 24,976

Plus IDW's Primus is actually Rung, who has literally no feats, other than his alternate counterpart.

Pretty sure the only thing we'd be able to give him if we ever made a profile for him would literally just be trying to do a gpe calc or something

Dreamwave Unicron Duology Megatron's profile so far
I want to at least have Optimus and Megatron done before posting them, with possibly Scavenger as a third one I might do since his profile reveals a lot of neat things about his Martial Arts '-'
If anyone is curious: I went with 2x multiplier for a normal Power-link with Minicons, 3x for each member of the Destruction Team (so a x9 total) and Megatron's peak at Issue 5 is 2^4 because he used 4 minicons.
Energon Megatron's rating comes from some scaling I did with the bios: Optimus' firepower with Overload is said do be 10x stronger, his Energon Power-linked self should be stronger then that and he faced Scorponok with that mode, who in turn, faced Megatron. Should be more clear once I work on OP's profile
No Images for the lad as well, gonna work on it '-'

Here's some more Dreamwave feats.
One of the armada weapons is the minicon matrix, which defeated Unicron. This unicron was consuming entire universes and dimensions.
Jetfire can travel between distant solar systems and across the universe. When he combines with Optimus he gets the flight capabilities.
The references are from armada omnibus and the official armada guidebook.

Ye, I have a google doc with all of those things you mentioned, no worries, but it is the intention that counts so thx!

I would also want to point out I am not completely sold on the Low 2-C statements (plural ye) about Unicron, will become a bit more clear after I do OP's Profile

Uh, no, references are mandatory. On the Editing Rules page, it says:
All stat and P&A justifications need to have references. Stuff like quotes and age don’t need references, but you can include them if you want.
- 7,811
- 663
Age somewhat correlates to power such as Longevity and Immortality Type 2 no? Like, in this example Megatron and Optimus have been waging war on Cybertron for 1 million years, so I put Longevity as a power. Do I need to put a reference even for that?
- 15,414
- 15,767
In that specific case, yeah, I would include a reference for that in the Longevity justification.
