Movie Time: Transformers: The Last Knight

Rethink your heroes. (From back to front) Steelbane, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

2017 is a year for Transformers! It also marks 10 years of the release of the first Transformers film back in 2007. KB Fan Fiction Productions had watched the film in theaters and, as hardcore Transformers fans, the K Brothers are awed by the visual effects and intense action scenes in the film! All-powerful Dragonstorm, adorable Sqweeks, Hot Rod and comical Cogman are the definite show-stealers.

And beside Hot Rod, Sqweeks, Cogman and Dragonstorm, the film contains a host of new characters which Joshua knew by heart before stepping into the theater to watch the film (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT):

• The knight Transformer discovered in the stasis pod by the group of children and giving a talisman to Cade Yeager is named Steelbane.
• The Long Haul-like Autobot downed by the TRF is named Canopy, because it provides shelter. He is voiced by Frank Welker, who also voiced Megatron and numerous other Transformers in the movies.
• The first knight transformer to awaken in the tomb is called Skullitron.
• Megatron's subordinates:
• Mohawk transforms into a Confederate motorcycle and is voiced by Reno Wilson, who also provided the voices for Frenzy, Mudflap, Brains and Sqweeks.
• Nitro-Zeus transforms into a jet fighter and is voiced by John DiMaggio, who also voiced Crosshairs.
• Onslaught (a Combaticon in G1) transforms into a tow truck and is also voiced by John DiMaggio.
• Dreadbot transforms into a Volkswagen van.
• Berserker transforms into a Chevrolet. He is not chosen as Megatron's subordinate, and is part of the first wave of the movie's toy line.
• The WWI tank transformer at the English mansion may be called "Bulldog". He is voiced by Mark Ryan, who voiced Jetfire and Lockdown.
• Baby Dinobots. When we have baby dinosaurs, why can't we have baby Dinobots?
• The combiner in the film is named Infernocus, made from six Infernocons. They are slaughtered by Optimus Prime in the final battle.

Recently, the film has been slammed with negative reviews, especially by "GEEWUNners", which is a term for hardcore fans of the Generation 1 series of Transformers production history. The reviewers criticized the film for its effect-heavy plot, acting and probably the new cast, and mostly about the setting that Transformers had been around outside Cybertron during Earth's history, which began during the previous film, Age of Extinction, with the theory of the Creators exterminating the dinosaurs millions of years ago. Due to these negative reviews, the film had a low box-office opening during its release in the USA. However, it is big in Asian countries such as China.

As a mixed-generation community, the KB Transformers Community is not biased to any generation, especially the Generation 1 and live-action movie franchise, and strives to promote unity in the world of Transformers fan fiction. The KB Transformers Community (dubbed in the universal cluster format as the Enermax cluster) contains characters from varying generations coexisting with each other (which includes an Animated and Movie Soundwave duo), albeit with the traditional Autobot-Decepticon conflict.
