Hope you fix it. Microsoft’s poor treatment of their customers outside the U.S is really sad.
Overall, I’m disappointed with how much screen-time was dedicated to humans. If I go to see a movie called Transformers, I want to see Transformers, not Mark Wahlberg telling his daughter to stop freaking out.
Bringing back Megatron was expected, and was the second I saw the “Galvatron” figure on the shelf. But I’m happy they stayed accurate to lore and made Galvatron a remade Megatron, instead of pointlessly changing him. I just wish he actually had time to do something. Hopefully next movie.
Lockdown was cool, and I’m glad he got his hook. But seeing him being philosophical with Prime felt too wise for him. It also seemed like he had some motive that wasn’t being paid, and that was frustratingly inaccurate. And his voice wasn’t as cool as it was in Transformers Animated.
The Autobots are finally likeable, and not stereotypes or cheap jokes. I’ve always been pro-Decepticon, but I actually rooted for them this time. Drift was cool and likeable for a change. Hound was decent. And Crosshairs was, um, there.
The Dinobots weren’t given enough screen-time or a proper introduction. Hell, why did Lockdown even have them?
Every human except Kelsey Grammer was annoying, unlikeable, and worst of all, THE CENTER OF ATTENTION THE WHOLE SLAGGING TIME.
Overall, good to see if you want to spend a half hour in-awe of CGI and explosion. But if you’re a hardcore fan like I, then you’ll probably just tear your hair out, and then go buy the toys anyway.

Someone should trying downloading the free Xbox One games on xbox.com since they updated it. Might be able to grab them even if you don’t have the One yet.
Bad luck, I sometimes have abit of OCD here and there but there are other times where I really don’t care, my room for example, which looks like it has been glassed.

The problem is, the movie relies on the humans to convey the story while the Transformers fight. I want there to be a Transformers movie where the Transformers convey the story and fight. The Transformers shouldn’t just blow things up while the human girl cries and the human protagonist rubs her face and says “It’s gonna be okay”. A movie called Transformers shouldn’t need humans to have a story, in the same way a Godzilla movie shouldn’t need humans to have a story.

And I really hate how this actually got me to laugh at this.
Its funny, the only person I know of on this new CMOTW was Snickers (btw, congrats, :D). and the rest…i have no idea who they are which I’m literally scratching my head in curiosity. Anyhow, gonna take a break from MLP forums for tonight…hell just broke out and i was waving two ban hammers at the same time, so yeah, i was pretty much carrying the cross as well due to these back-door hackers. So, how’s the crowd going along, and I’m very surprised, judging by previous posts, that some didn’t like Transformers…why is that?

Well… it was directed by Micheal Bay, meaning five things:
1.)Explosions
2.) Barely any storyline
3.)Skyscrapers crumpling pointlessly
4.) The majority of it was all computer generated
5.)Even more explosions
Plus, the Dinobots barely got any screentime.
I’ll admit, the GCI was impressive in it. I think Varmah wanted more of aTransformers-based movie, instead focusing on a father protecting his little girl first from boyfriends, then from the impending Apocalypse.
From what I’m seeing on this “Community Member Spotlight” thing is that by not having a nomination thread, it replaces the community’s bias with 343i’s bias… Not sure which one is better.
Either way, CMS is now something that I will pursue.

Definitely the CGI was perfect, yet I felt it was pretty good with the Dinobots appearing. However, I agree, the lack of screen time was pretty upsetting. I actually expected them to appear in the beginning of the movie. And the “human” part…that one bothered me.

Lol, i may do that but i don’t think i’ll get it b/c of you-know-what from that XBL discussion we had…if you remember. I think RJ remembers.

I like the change, there are Community Members out there who have done alot more than me yet couldn’t get the recognition as they weren’t on Waypoint.
EDIT: And on the topic of Transformers, does anyone know if Rise of the Spark worth it? Looks like a rip-off to Fall of Cybertron to me, but Fall of Cybertron was, you know…

You know, I was debating if I should get Fall of Cybertron b/c it looks so cool…problem is, I’m saving it for XB1, Halo (2 copies 1 from GS and BB), COD:AW, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, and Destiny. That also means my time on 360 may drop tremendously.
EDIT: Ugh, too quiet here…maybe this will cheer ya’ll up, Let’s Dance

You should only get Fall of Cybertron if you’ve played War for Cybertron first. Both are good, but War for Cybertron will always be the best (and my first online multiplayer experience).
And I didn’t like Age of Extinction that much because, as Comic said, I’d have preferred less humans and more story-driven Transformers. It wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it left a lot to be desired.
