>Michael Bay is still a producer
>Still keeping the LA aesthetic, feel no need to revamp anything and are banking on its recognizability
>Transformers 7 is still planned, so they are absolutely going to keep things similar to prior movies
>Written by Christina Hodson, who has only written 2 shitty psycho-thrillers prior
>Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Tom DeSanto are still producing, after having been involved with every prior movie
>Hasbro is still set on a movie universe created from many scripts, and will probably shove them all together with no regard to continuity like in AoE and TLK
>Hasbro Studios/Allspark Productions have no concept of quality considering how godawful the CW and TR cartoons turned out
>The story will still be a nonsensical mess of subplots and shallow characters, shitty jokes, and painfully obvious politics
>Paramount has lost the financial support of Chinese investors after TLK, Baywatch, Star Trek 3, Monster Trucks, and more bombed and is desperate to cut corners and rush productions to regain cash
>80's setting is undeniably an attempt to cash in on Transformer nostalgia because they desperately need it to sell
>Coming out against Wreck-it Ralph 2, Mortal Engines, Spiderman, Grinch, Mary Poppins, Aquaman, and Sherlock Holmes, all in a dying theater market place and have distributors with way more money to market with
>This means the film will have to go full pander mode to stand out, either to Americans but most likely to the Chinese
>Marketers have said they'll improve the movies every time since the first, and have only gotten worse
>Michael Bay receives an 8% cut of royalties from sales of all Transformers movie toys and merchandise, including this one
>WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE TOYS ARE ANY GOOD
Shut up about the movie. They struck out 5 times, and are in position to try and improve. Stop shilling your shit, stop talking about ugly statues that aren't even made yet, stop saying "g1 sucked too so bayformers isn't bad :)"
