Every now and then I’ll come across something that bugs me in transformers despite it being one of my favourite franchises and I know they don’t effect the franchise in any way, but my eye twitches when I see it…here are some examples:
1. The positioning of the Seekers Decepticon logos - it has always annoyed me that the seekers logos are upside down in robot mode on their wings…as it sort of defeats the purpose of having them there to begin with and I know people say “it’s so they face the right way in jet mode…” fine I guess but they still face the incorrect way in robot mode.
2. You can’t tell Scourge apart from the sweeps - they sound have made it a bit easier to tell who is who between scourge and sweeps because we only really have his voice. I think scourge should have been the only one to have a beard and the sweeps didn’t have one to signify they are his clones/Duplicates.
3. Soundwave having yellow eyes - this one is simple I just don’t think Soundwave suits the yellow eyes look, the red eyes are so much better and look more menacing, it also contrasts nicer to his blue and white colour scheme, yellow gets too lost in his design.
4. Optimus Prime having a mouth/face - I’m pretty mixed on this one to be honest but generally I think most Optimus prime designs look better with the face plate/battle mask deployed rather than retracted. The mask is just such an iconic piece of the design. Though I will admit there are exceptions where I’m okay with it.

So I am someone who frequently defends transformers Age of Extinction as a movie because it’s one of my favourite movies that I feel is criminally underrated, despite it’s flaws (and Oh boy does it have them…).
However one thing I will say that has always bugged me is how Bumblebee chooses to abandon his vintage 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS with the modern 2014 version…don’t get me wrong I love the car design for the 2014 version but I’ve just always felt that it was a waste of a perfectly cool alt mode. Plus I think bumblebee looks badass in black and yellow. I’ve also never liked how bumblebees body model changed to resemble stingers…it makes him look like a copy cat and they should have just kept him in the old version. Maybe the older car was too expensive to keep for the whole movie idk 🤷🏻‍♂️.
This is just my opinion feel free to disagree with me. I hope we get an updated version of high octane bumblebee for the studio series line.
