Well, in Dark of the Moon his head explodes. I mean, look at the abuse he had to take: Viewers kind of, sort of grew a liking for Starscream – or, at least, felt sorry for the poor guy.

That’s a long story.) At first he was a Decepticon, then an Autobot, which is what made him interesting.Īnd here’s Jetfire pulling out his own heart and instantly dying.Įven Starscream: in the animated series was just kind of a buffoon who was always trying to upstage Megatron. (Though, this was always a strange Transformer because in the animated series he was known as Skyfire. Oh, boy, I can’t even tell you about the excitement on my block when Jetfire was released. Well here she is being destroyed in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Remember the beloved Arcee from Transformers: The Movie? Here he is calculating up some scheme.Īnd then I got to watch him be killed execution style in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Then there’s Transformers: Age of Extinction.Īnother childhood favorite was good ol’ mad scientist Wheeljack. If there’s one thing we knew, we could always trust Ratchet. In the Marvel Transformers comic book series, at one point Ratchet is the only functioning Autobot remaining and has to rescue his comrades pretty much all on his own. Oh, speaking of poor Ratchet: yes, he and Ironhide were two of the Autobots killed in Transformers: The Movie, but Ratchet was always the nice, heroic medical Autobot. Here he in in the animated series being tended to by Ratchet. Ironhide was another fan favorite strong and stoic.

And the deaths in Transformers: The Movie were actually fairly poignant and sad – especially in comparison with how they are handled in Bay’s films. But that was after many, many episodes building up to that moment. But still…) And, yes, a few fan favorites were killed off in the animated Transformers: The Movie, including Optimus Prime. I know, this is a movie about talking robots from another planet. (Not to even mention how characters seem to come and go from movie to movie without any rhyme or reason. I will never quite understand Michael Bay’s decision to dispose of lovable characters so willy-nilly. I mean, look at Jazz, horsing around as a snowman. Voiced by the legendary Scatman Crothers, Jazz really loved humans and adapted to the contemporary culture and slang of the time. It’s obviously why humans would want to be friends with the Autobots because the Autobots all seem really pleasant to be around. The characters are all distinct and colorful and nice. Recently, I rewatched a few episodes of the 1984 Transformers animated series and it’s almost startling how coherent it is. It’s at the end of the first Transformers when Megatron just nonchalantly tears Jazz in half, horrifically killing him. But I’ve traced back the where I lost all hope for this movie franchise. So, I’ve been trying to pinpoint just why these movies are such a turnoff on a personal level – beyond the fact they are loud and abrasive and it’s often difficult to tell who is what and what is even happening at any given moment. (Though, I will admit, I am one of those people who think the first Transformers movie is fine.) It’s a weird thing, this is a franchise I should like – as a child I loved the animated series and had most of the toys – yet here we are. These movies are hugely popular, even though no one really seems to like them that awful much.
This week, the fifth Transformers movie will be released onto out planet, this time titled, Transformers: The Last Knight.
