  • @KwakyWacky

    I would’ve loved to see a 2 v 1 fight between Megatron, Optimus and Sentinel.
    Also the irony of Sentinel dying to the rust canon that he used to kill Ironhide is a nice touch.
    The final talk between Prime and Megatron is one of the few examples of genuinely good writing in this franchise, such a shame it was cut. But at least we can still see it in other ways

      Sentinel was not killed by his cosmic rust cannon, Optimus Prime kills Megatron, and uses Megatron’s gun to kill sentinel. Prime later uses Megatron’s gun in AOE when he was in his his evasion mode.

      the final talk woulda been to long and drawn out for an action movie megatron and prime are enemies after being friends in every version, i loved the original concept up until the final talk, i do agree prime still shoulda been the prime he is and spared megatron, also i wish we coulda had all the scenes of bee sitting with sam and bee still finding the ring in his chest cause it’s adorable as heck but ya the final talk woulda been WAY to long for children and also for me too cause i kinda got bored listening

    I think the reason that he killed Megatron and Sentinel when they gave up was because Optimus didn't want any more betrayal in his life. Megatron already betrayed him once what are the chances that he will again? And I think that Optimus now knowing that anyone can betray you in war he executed Sentinel. And the next time someone that he trust betrays him, he'll just rip off their face just like he did with The Fallen.

      Understandable. Although megatron would still be trust worthy if he does what he promise. But for movie megatron he’s not really trust worthy. Heck in AOE he was playing dead so he can manipulated KSI and Dej- I mean KSI, building him a new body that looks like megatron than Optimus prime which KSI wanted to do and Megatron again took control over Galvatron and he also took control of the KSI drones

      Understandable characterization is different from good characterization. The whole point of a "hero" is that they do what's morally right, regardless of their feelings & motivations.
      Optimus choosing to forgive Megatron, his enemy, immediately after being screwed over by his "sensei", Sentinel, has a much stronger emotional impact than just offing him, because it would show that his willing to put aside his emotions for the sake of making a morally good choice. It's a facet of the character that was established waaay back in G1, but the '07 continuity completely lacked.
      They changed him from Superman into The Punisher, and I don't think that was the right choice.

    Man idk if I blame Amazon or Bay and the Studio…. I blame Amazon, not for making me wait for months to get recent TF toys but to spoiler the movie and make the movie change at the last second due to their errors… I understand why Prime killed megatron at first he’s not really trust worthy but with the original ending I would’ve see this as a heart to heart moment between the two brothers similar to Sandman and Peter in Spdierman 3.

    There might be some justification for Optimus’s actions from a writing perspective. Throughout the films, even if the writing is nothing to be too proud of, one idea I thought was really cool is how gradually more jaded Optimus becomes as the wars go on. Lots of friends lost in senseless violence, and now his mentor has become everything they’ve been fighting. That’s gotta make a guy like him break. That’s most evident in Age of Extinction where he seems so traumatized his first instinct is to threaten humans unlike the compassion he showed before (but he only talks, never actually does anything which shows his true nature is still there). I guess he kinda adopts a “too dangerous to be left alive” mentality, too broken to have second thoughts. But he still feels guilty. And with Megatron, it’s easy to see where he’s coming from. He stopped Sentinel for his own personal gain, his call for a truce is backhanded and underwhelming, immediately followed by the implication that Prime is nothing without him even though he’s a power hungry psychopath who ruined their home. I think I can see why he did it, even if it was executed in a clunky way in the film.

Kind of makes the killing feel less warranted now that I know the line was meant for Optimus.

    Honestly I prefer if they mixed both together.

You don’t just have Transformers fans who would’ve liked it but those who haven’t seen transformers or heard of it so they might’ve not liked it since this was the age of superhero movies with Thor, Iron Man, Captain America already out and the Avengers teased, everyone would’ve liked the whole Bad guy loses and good guy wins scenario. But I think IDW should have their contract renewed for transformers because they have made so many good comics and characters.

I wish this be the final installment on how the Bayverse Transformers ended like. That I see villains as tragic characters who use to be heroes until someone else took their place or something else, Seeing Megatron like this in the third installment, I feel bad for him realizing he just wants to save Cybertron.

    With that original ending, it would literally show character development, but then again it would be like maneuvering a mountain-type difficult terrain to come up with an idea for the next transformer movies. The idea is very good without a doubt, but it would be cool seeing both ways, the one we have, and this original idea. It would be very interesting how different these two routes would be yet being a few minute difference around the ending can cause a massive gap. But I have a theory that if they did go with the "original idea" there is a chance it can go two ways. One is that DOTM would be the last movie, or two, Galvatron would be a completely different character compared to AOE. Option two more likely can go closer to the G1 route if I'm gonna be honest, I wonder what your guys thoughts are...

    I've been waiting for someone to talk about the tf3 novel for so long. I remember my dad buying it for me from a bookstore and I immediately noticed that the endings were different, and even as a little kid I preferred the ending from the novel way more. The novel added way more context to some of the scenes that made it to the movie as well. Including Optimus actually figuring out that the decepticons were trying to use Sam to figure out their plan just from Sam saying "You can tell me, no other HUMAN will ever know". And Lennox's reaction to Optimus telling the Autobots to retreat for the first time. I wish I still had the novel, I may have to pick it up for old times sake.

    They should of stuck with the original ending despite it getting leaked, which sounds to me like it was a freak accident. It would of made such of an amazing scene to see Optimus and Megatron finally stop fighting each other for as long as they have and make peace between one other. Plus, if Bay didn't give in to the demands of the studio and laid the franchise to rest like how he originally planned, it would of been so cool to wrap it all up with this scene and the original version of Optimus's speech at the end. Unfortunately, Bay's anger robbed us of this from happening on screen and he did give in to the demands and we got the two dog water movies that are Age Of Extinction and The Last Knight.🤦🏽‍♂️👍🏼

    Holy shit this is LEAGUES better than what we actually got. I really like how retrospective both Optimus Prime and Megatron are in that they both realized the mistakes they made in their ambitions and are able to make a truce and swear to become better people. It really gave it the sense that they actually were brothers once and gives more depth into their history together. Whereas in the movie it’s just:
    Megatron: “Let’s make a truce”
    Optimus: “Lol no” *decapitates Megatron*
    Just needlessly violent to the point of being over-the-top and a very unsatisfying conclusion between Optimus Prime and Megatron. It also just comes off as very redundant when viewing the trilogy as a whole. Megatron dies in the first movie, gets resurrected in the second, and then dies again in the third movie… only to be resurrected again in the fourth movie, though I’ll be fair and mention that they weren’t planning to make a fourth.
    Maybe one day we’ll get a director’s cut of the film with this ending though I highly doubt Michael Bay will ever want to touch Transformers again. And with the amount of money it’ll take for the effects I doubt the studio wants to either.

And the CGI looks pretty good there! I actually believe they had pre-made this as a plan B along with the original ending, just in case, you know what I mean? 🙂

    Although the alternate ending was more emotional, I still feel the ending we got played out well.
    Ultimately, Prime is tired from war and the betrayal of so many that he chooses to kill them both, understanding that he has to live with those decisions. It helps create the idea that Prime carries guilt because he may not see himself so pure anymore considering his mentor turned on his own beliefs and twisted them. Giving Megatron and Sentinel a chance to redeem themselves after so much chaos and death is like letting murderers go just because they had a change of heart. It isn't up to Prime to decide whether they live or not but he chooses that it's best to finish them off to "make sure" there's no harm done to anybody anymore.
    This also adds to Prime becoming cold hearted and ruthless in AOE because he gets betrayed by humans, learning that they killed his autobots. This makes him doubt his decision to have killed Sentinel and Megatron. He felt like he had to kill them for the sake of humans but them turning against Transformers and experimenting on them is probably why Prime felt even more angered (which can maybe tie in with the alternate ending in DOTM with Prime, like Megatron, realizing in AOE that he just wants to go home and forget everything).

    Like how Sideswipe killed Sideways in cold blood. With there even being a deleted scene showcasing his death in a more gruesome way (Would also probably add how the Arcee Triplets tried to kill Sideways too.
    Maybe even how Prime executed Grindor, Demolisher and the Fallen.
    Prime stating he'd never accept Shockwaves surrender in the Dark of the Moon comic.
    During Dark of the Moon when the Wreckers tear apart the protoform decepticon pilot by limbs.
    Right before Ratchet and Bee attack the last pillar, Sideswipe and the Wreckers gang up on a Devcon
    Oreo-Bot's death from AOE
    In AOE, when Drift was 1v2ing two Stinger clones and after killing one of them, the other surrendered but Drift still executed him
