Sorry man. But Cliffjumper got Jazzed. It happens in every movie. Someone had to die.
APB
Hopefully they do hire him for more movies. He seems to understand Transformers way better.

IDW Cliffjumper could take down both Shatter and Dropkick single-handedly. Read Spotlight: Cliffjumper.

Damn. I hope this does well because I love this guy.
Hussarion
I like it too.
Interesting fact is that shows-within-a-show are usually intentionally of low quality, e.g. Terrance and Philip (South Park), Itchy & Scratchy (The Simpsons), Days of Our Lives (Friends). I think this is why idea of Go-bots within the Transformers universe works so well.

BEST TransFormers Live action by a long way! I hope the box office gives him the opportunity to make the movies we wanted in the first place! LOVED IT!!

I agree. I hope she doesn't feel the need to "sell out" as it were like many actresses her age are doing in Hollywood. She already has some…shall we say…interesting pictures floating around.

I saw this movie and I have to say, it was 80s. It was 80s as Hell. And I loved it. Hailee Steinfeld is a remarkable young actress. She is going to go far in this industry.

This guy is great. I really hope the box office rewards him. It is completely obvious what reverence this guy has for the material.

Cool interview! It's surreal (in a pleasant way) to have a TF movie director who even knows who Cliffjumper or Skywarp are, let alone care what happens to them. I really hope he remains involved with future movies, his love for the brand is apparent.
transf0
Yeah, bit like DC characters being mentioned in Spider-Man.

I love the idea of Go-bots being the "Transforming robot franchise" that humans know within the transformers universe
Auvelier
I’m curious, now that he mentions Gobots, if Shatter and Dropkick were influenced even in the slightest by Crasher and Cop-Tur, they reminded me of those two A LOT.
drbeakman
I know, right? I wish we could tell him how much we appreciate what he's done!
I'm noticing the best people stay away from it

Plus, the movie section has been been a spoiler-inclusive zone for a long time.

I remember when everyone was concerned about how our little scout can defeat all of these 'Cons when in reality it wasn't hard to imagine something like this…I mean of course it's meant to feel like Bee has no chance but when you watch enough fights you know the odds can change if the opponent uses different elements to their advantage.

The thread title already has a spoiler warning, the article has a spoiler warning, so no need to use spoiler tags here.
“the final moments of the Fall of Cybertron.” Haha I thought he was talking about the game for a minute. But yeah, Knight is a great person who is extremely passionate about what he does, I've seen this first-hand. He really loves the franchise, and I think it's interesting how he responded that Bumblebee is a self-contained story when asked about the possibility of it setting up a new universe.
He isn't too keen on social media!
Caminus Prime
I wish he had a social media account for us to try and talk to him.
Music
I get what you mean, but then again, I don't think he means this is exactly what will happen to him, but rather what may happen to him. I mean, we did see
Either way, I'm just giving credit to the fact that there was actual thought put into it.
