Transformers Cinematic Universe Cancelled

So basically just like G.I.Joe, but I expected it to last longer than ending it with a spin off film. Keep Michael Bay away from the reboot.

 

It's going to be one big toy advert. t:

 

The Last Knight made only $130 million domestic off of a $217 million production budget. Figure about another $150 million for prints and advertising. The movie probably didn't make any money.

The Bay Transformers Universe is dead. It wasn't going anywhere. The films are not critic proof anymore.

They're rebooting it because the Bay version as the basis for any sort of cinematic universe is dead.

 

Why continue what is already broken? This universe is an absolute mess. Bay can't even keep anything straight anymore. His characters are garbage. The Transformers are garbage. The humans are annoying and unlikable. Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. It's the only way the Transformers can become what they were meant to be.

 

Personally i'd rather they just let it die off, on a high note (hoping #6 is a high note that is), and give it a few decades, before they even think of rebooting it.
I got sick of the reboots they did for spidey all in somewhat of a quick succession..

PLUS imo there's a lot of other stuff out there worthy of a reboot if they are incapable of coming up with new ideas...

 

Two words: Beast Wars. It's what everyone wants.

 

Reboot and introduce the Transformers in that Hasbro crossover movie in 2021.
Seems like too long a wait tho Could the autobots make a cameo in the Gi Joe reboot film...

 

Is it? I couldn't stand the beast wars cartoons.. I loved the headmaster series of comics though..

 

The momentum suggests they could have made a big loss with the next TF film. LK made just over half of what its predecessor made and audiences were finally abandoning it.

 

I can't really picture what we might get with Hasbro having much more say. Hopefully something more along the lines of the first one which I consider to be a decent film.

 

Gonna be an unpopular opinion, but I'll say it outright.

As someone who enjoys the first three Bay films, Transformers can be done so much better with a reboot that actually treats these characters like characters, develops plotlines that make sense and features humor not written by a 13-year old.

If the same producers and executives are still onboard sans Michael Bay though, and if Hasbro's getting even more creative control out of it, then it might be TAS movies all over again.

 

Also take a cue from the IDW comics for God's sake. In both art design and story.

 

Yes, especially the IDW comics.

 

Revenge of the Sith did $380 million domestic/$848 million worldwide in 2005 dollars. That's far from dead and far from what The Last Knight did.

 

I'm not into Transformers at all but i was really surprised to hear this. I thought the franchise was a huge money-spinner. Has the writing been on the wall for this for a while?

 

They should have just gone ahead with a sixth film to tie everything up and end it. I can't see a reboot being successful. The only time a quick reboot has been successful lately was Spider-Man: Homecoming, and that was solely because it was part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Transformers had its day in the sun but given the reception to The Last Knight, audiences are caring less and less about it.

 

Nah, not really. Nobody wants a Beast Wars movie... except me, it seems.

 

I'll take animated series movies over what Michael Bay did. Literally the worst kind of hot garbage.

Even Star Wars was in a better position IMO. Revenge of the Sith did a lot better than Attack of the Clones and was much better received by critics. Plus, you had the successful Clone Wars TV series.

 

Agreed. WRap it up nicely and leave it be!
