    I'm a TF Fan familiar with most TF continuities. I can't even describe how much I value the fact that the writers of TF one respected the already existing lore. And it was not reduced to pintless easter eggs, but the lore elements taken from previous TF comics, series, games, books shaped the story of TF One in major ways. TF One is an amalgamation of several lore elements/story arcs from several different continuties, and they took inspiration from a ton of TF comics/cartoons/tv series. XD Like Megatron's D-16 low class miner origin came from the IDW comics, just like the 'class/caste' system. Orion, D-16/Megatron being sworn brothers/best friends working together to topple a false prime (Sentinel, who had the title of the Prime without having the MAtrix), and his opressive, corrupt government was taken from the Aligned continuity, just like Starscream's TF One's backstory (Megatron taking Starscream's men, space station, respurces, position happened in the War for Cybertron games, and before that Starscream actually served the Primes as their bodyguardin the books; he left when he realized that Sentinel was a spinless coward tho). G1 also influenced this film in pretty significant ways, like cogless bots unable to transform during the Quintesson rule, the Quintessons, Orion being a low class manual labourer (he was a dock worker in the G 1 series), Megatron killing Orion before he was rebuilt as Optimus Prime to house the Matrix, Optimus's energy axe at the end fight etc. Sentinel is reminiscent of TFA's interpretation of the character (blue/gold, big chin, narcissistic asshole) and he had a very similar weapon Sentinel used in the Baymovies. :) Orion being a history nerd, spending his time in the Archives is a clever nod to TFP/Aligned continuity, just like the music (TF One, and TFP has the same composer, and he put elements/musical themes from TFP into this movie) And these examples are just a few of the ton of inspiration they took. Also D-16's story of turning into Megatron does not starts with him learning the truth about Sentinel. His story starts with being mutilated even before he 'came online'/was born, and the scene of him turning into Megatron is a culmination of a life lived under opression. I know the film is not in your face about it, but the cogless bots were treated pretty badly, and there were some pretty dark implications (like D believing that getting punched in the face was deserved because they talked back to a supervisor, or enforcers wanting to beat Orion up at the start of the movie, or just the living conditions of the miners; cogless bots are second rate citizens who have no chance at self improvement, aren't even allowed to access libraries/archives and other facilities cogged bots have access to. Not to mention supervisiors can push them around and they cannot defend themselves, for ex when Elita was fired) Some of them weren't even allowed to leave their workplace (see Bee, and sub level 50)

    A main problem with the film plot is the priority on capturing the Enigma machine as if they were a secret unknown to the world. Enigma was a commercial encryption system before the war so its existence was known. What was important were the modifications the Germans made specifically the two new rotors not in the commercial system and the code books. But the British captured the new rotors the year before. The British admiralty made the code books a top priority in the capture of any German vessels as the code books were printed in water soluble ink and could be rendered useless by throwing them into water. Also the code books were rotated every month so it was important to get new code books all the time.

    As a kid I ate this movie up, it was so entertaining, I might've seen it around 75-100 times, and I just finished re-watching it with an adult head. Yeah, it's not accurate, it's not realistic, but it's goddamn entertaining and has some cool scenes in it, and the sound design is good. I'm pretty sure it's the nostalgia speaking, but this is definitely one of my comfort films. I will watch this movie while laying in bed with a fever to entertain myself for 2 hours. Even the first few words I learned of German are in this movie, Wentz's line when he speaks to Hirsch for the first time. "Herr Leutnant, ich bin ein einfacher Bauernlümmel. Eine der aber ziemlich gut Deutch schreiben, lesen und schprechen kann. Ich habe deutche Literatur an der Brown studiert, bevor ich den Kampf gegen den Faschismus aufgenommen habe." - Herr Wentz

      It's a fictional story set in the war. The producer said that himself. Therefore it cannot be full of historical inaccuracies! It's a great film that has a fast pace and the Chief and the Captain in the he last half of the film are great characters that you do care about. Did you actually watch this film? Have you not heard of artistic licence to make things more exciting like the depth charges being so close to the hull of the sub and not destroying it? You are way too critical!

      ​@@SavageJarJar The American film makers, in their monstrous, chauvinistic arrogance, were quite happy for people to make the mistake of taking the film a being fact. Apart from film credits, the only wording of the poster for the film read: ‘Heroes are ordinary men who do extraordinary things in extraordinary times’. Hardly statement that the film was fiction. The film makers only agreed to show a list of actual captures of Enigma material from German submarines when, at almost the last moment, the film company researchers suddenly discovered that the actual hero of the first capture of Enigma material from a German submarine (U-110), a Royal Navy officer, was actually then still alive. One of film screenwriters, Screenwriter David Ayer stated that he "did not feel good" about suggesting Americans captured the Enigma code rather than the British, and that "It was a distortion... a mercenary decision to create this parallel history in order to drive the movie for an American audience”. Ayer continued "Both my grandparents were officers in World War Two, and I would be personally offended if somebody distorted their achievements". During the war, there were 15 occasions on which Enigma material was taken from captured German submarines. The Royal Navy was responsible for 13 of those captures, the Royal Canadian was responsible for one of those captures, and eventually, in June 1944, long, long after the reading of Enigma encoded signals had become a routine matter, the United States Navy finally managed to affect such a capture. Yep, U-571 is ‘stolen valor’. Btw, we have met when?
