00:02:08
Nicole Shine
oh
00:02:08
Conor
I was i was excited, you know?
00:02:09
Nicole Shine
was like, yeah. Yeah. yeah
00:02:12
Conor
Yeah, because you were just as much into Transformers as I was, right?
00:02:18
Nicole Shine
Yeah, i really liked Transformers a lot when I was little. So I was excited to see
00:02:21
Conor
Yeah, man. So to see it on big screen in real life, hell yeah.
00:02:26
Nicole Shine
Yeah. ah So, um and this one we're going to follow. Like, it cuts back and forth a lot between. So, the Decepticons.
00:02:40
Nicole Shine
um Well, it cuts back and forth between Sam, Michaela, and the Autobots. The Air Force guys. And the Defense, Department of Defense, slash, Analyst guys.
00:02:51
Conor
Yeah.
00:02:53
Nicole Shine
and Decepticons so it cuts back in between those four see you know groups you know intercut a lot so um a lot of times so we won't probably be like in a exact chronological order because it just cuts back and forth a lot in between the different goings on
00:02:55
Conor
Yeah.
00:03:00
Conor
Yeah, stories.
00:03:03
Conor
Yeah.
00:03:15
Conor
It's kind of hard to relay, like, for a podcast. But, yeah, we'll do our best for sure.
Decepticons vs. Autobots
00:03:20
Nicole Shine
yeah So basically the backstory for anyone who doesn't know, the Decepticons and Autobots. Decepticons are the bad guys.
00:03:31
Nicole Shine
Autobots are the good guys. They come from planet Cybertron. There was a war on Cybertron that destroyed Cybertron. So they're looking for something called the AllSpark or the Cube.
00:03:46
Nicole Shine
um It landed on Earth. in thousands of years ago um in the arctic circle and they're looking forward it to kind of like rebuild their race so that that's that's the mcguffin the backstory everybody look um and we open with mill the air force guys um on the base of the middle east um they're getting back from something some kind of mission or whatever i'm like
00:04:00
Conor
Basically, yeah.
Military Base Attack Scene
00:04:14
Nicole Shine
So basically Lennox and I forget Tyrese's character's name but Tyrese and some other guys who don't matter we just you know you know other guys they're coming back and um to the base um and when they get back to the base they get attacked by um just like to kind of text them Blackout
00:04:21
Conor
Tarish, just say Tarish.
00:04:25
Conor
Yeah.
00:04:43
Conor
Yeah, I think it was Blackout, yeah.
00:04:43
Nicole Shine
black Blackout, and I think the the other thing is Scoraponics, I believe the name is.
00:04:50
Conor
Yeah, which is like a little robot that comes from Blackout or attaches itself to Blackout.
00:04:55
Nicole Shine
Yeah, and it's shaped like a scorpion, basically.
00:04:57
Conor
Yeah.
00:04:58
Nicole Shine
Um, so, Blackout attacks the base, and basically he's after, he's trying to hack their system, because he's after the information where the all spark is.
00:05:09
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:05:09
Nicole Shine
Um, so, it's really funny because he, you know, he flies in pretending to be one of their guys, and when they check, they're like, wait, that copter got shot down months ago, so um it lands and he starts transforming me and Connor was like the minute he started doing that shit I would have been out of
00:05:32
Conor
Yeah, like before he transforms, they show like the hologram of the pilot and you just see it like the hologram fuck up and you see a robotic face. I would have been like, man, I'm out.
00:05:43
Conor
That is not fucking human.
00:05:45
Nicole Shine
like so many times in this movie where they start to transform and I'm like I would have been going
00:05:51
Conor
As soon as that shit start, as soon as I heard that noise out, just fucking out.
00:05:56
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm. But so it attacks the base, but they end up cutting the hard line, and then then it cuts from there to um Sam, who's Shia LaBeouf.
00:06:09
Nicole Shine
And he he's in class, doing giving a report.
00:06:10
Conor
Yeah.
00:06:14
Nicole Shine
And it's interesting. it's It's exposition, but I kind of like the way they did it because they did it in the form of him like giving a report. of on his great-grandfather, Captain Wikwiki, and he's talking about how he um he was exploring the Arctic, and, you know, um he was trying to, like, give the port and sell his his stuff, because he's trying to get money to buy a car, so he's, like, trying to sell his glasses, trying to sell his, is like, his
00:06:24
Conor
yeah
00:06:45
Nicole Shine
compass thing and some other stuff um and basically in this exposition he get oh he went crazy and blind and was babbling about a giant ice man and um yeah
00:06:58
Conor
hieroglyphics and shit that he found. and Yeah.
00:07:02
Nicole Shine
um so he the poor silver and basically we see him making eyes at this girl who's michaela who we'll talk about later um he gets his his a and his dad takes him to buy his car because the he had a deal he had to get three a's to get his car and half the money to get his car so it's real funny because his father drives him by like this porsche and he's like oh dad no ah he's like you're not getting a port
00:07:20
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:07:29
Conor
Yeah, you crazy.
00:07:31
Nicole Shine
And he's just play basically playing a a prank on him. ah He takes him to this beat-up used car lot room by Bernie Mac. There you
00:07:40
Conor
It's awesome. Yeah.
00:07:41
Nicole Shine
Yeah, Uncle Bobby B, baby.
00:07:43
Conor
so
00:07:44
Nicole Shine
And it's like all these like beat-up junkie cars. And love this part because he's like, oh, my first car came to see me. He said, oh, I wouldn't lie to Not front of my mammy.
00:07:56
Conor
this
00:07:57
Nicole Shine
he's like He's like, hey there, mammy. He waits for his mom and she gives him the finger.
00:08:02
Conor
He's like, oh, man, man.
00:08:04
Nicole Shine
He's like, right I had a rock, I'd bust your head, And like, while they're not looking, we kind of see Bumblebee pull up and he disguises himself like the beat up old car.
00:08:10
Conor
Jesus, dude.
00:08:20
Nicole Shine
And ah Bernie Mac's character is like, where did this car come from? I don't know about this car. and ah But he tells them, he's like, $5,000. But his dad won won't spend more than $4,000. So he's like haggling them down.
00:08:34
Nicole Shine
And ah he's like, I thought you said a car picked the owner. He's like, yeah, sometimes they pick owners with cheap-ass father.
00:08:40
Conor
but
00:08:42
Nicole Shine
So he was showing them this other car. And, like, Bumblebee pops open his door and dents that car so he can't get that car. And then, so he he goes to try to, like, show him a different car in the lot. And then Bumblebee kind of, like, turns on his little frequency thing and blows all the fucking windows out of all the other cars.
00:09:00
Conor
like No, you're not going walk away from me.
00:09:02
Nicole Shine
It's like, he's fucked up that guy's whole car lot. then then And Bernie Mac was like, $4,000. So he gets that car and we cut away from that. and that's that for a pen of for now.
Code Cracking & Analyst Team
00:09:15
Conor
Yeah.
00:09:15
Nicole Shine
Then we meet our, our third team, which is the analyst slash defense Pentagon team. Um, and, um, the main girl we have to worry about there is, um, what is her name? don't know her name now.
00:09:32
Nicole Shine
What is her name? Oh, uh, Maggie. Um, it's the, like, there's a team, but we really only need to worry about Maggie. Um,
00:09:40
Conor
yeah
00:09:41
Nicole Shine
And they brought them in to kind of crack the code because they kind of captured kind of a code when they were trying win Blackout was trying to hack the Air Force Base.
00:09:53
Conor
Yeah.
00:09:53
Nicole Shine
So um they let them hear the code and they're trying to figure that out. And that's, you know, all we get for now. um While they're doing this,
00:10:08
Nicole Shine
like her and her team are listening, um, I forget the little one's name, think it's Frenzy, he, um, the little tiny one, little tiny Decepticon guy, Frenzy, he sneaks on Air Force One and just, he's just so dumb, he disguises himself as a boombox,
00:10:15
Conor
Yeah. Good call. Yeah. I forgot his name.
00:10:29
Conor
Because, you know, that's what's on the Air Force One, a boombox.
00:10:31
Nicole Shine
yeah, and nobody's like, i mean, yeah, you wouldn't think, okay, boombox nefarious or anything but it's like you just had an attack on one of your bases and it's random I would at least think it's a bomb or something but um so um it's funny cause they have like a who's obviously supposed to be uh George Bush and he's like why don't you wrestle me up some ding dong darling laughing laughing
00:10:44
Conor
Yeah, true.
00:10:56
Conor
They only show close-up of his fucking socks. Ha!
00:11:00
Nicole Shine
right So while she's going down to get him some Ding Dongs, she sees the boom box randomly just sitting on an elevator. She picks it up and takes it down there.
00:11:10
Nicole Shine
and it's our Decepticon friend. So um he transforms and starts hacking the um you know Air Force One.
00:11:22
Nicole Shine
And um they're like, while the analysts are listening, they're like, it's the signal again. Maggie notices. And she's like, uh, whatever they're after they're getting.
00:11:34
Nicole Shine
So they need to cut the, you know, yeah.
00:11:35
Conor
And they're uploading a virus, right?
00:11:37
Nicole Shine
And uploading the virus at the same time. So, um, they, the secret service guys go down there and it's like a shootout and then Frenzy's fucking them up.
00:11:48
Conor
For real.
00:11:50
Nicole Shine
He's like fucking them up, transforming back. So they don't see him chucking them up, transforming back that they don't see him. And, um,
00:11:55
Conor
Pretty smart.
00:11:57
Nicole Shine
They're like landing this plane. So they cut they land a plane, cut the line, and he just transforms back into a boombox. So nobody notices him. I don't know if it's cameras. You'd think Air Force One would have cameras, but whatever.
00:12:10
Conor
Yeah, never been on there, so yeah.
00:12:12
Nicole Shine
Yeah, especially after 9-11.
00:12:14
Conor
Right?
00:12:14
Nicole Shine
But anyway, so um
00:12:15
Conor
Yeah.
00:12:18
Nicole Shine
yeah, he they land a plane and he ends up getting off.
Bumblebee's Musical Communication
00:12:22
Nicole Shine
um, and Blackout comes, no, Barricade comes to pick him up, who's like a cop car, um, Blackout is like a helicopter, a Barricade is like a cop car, um, and, um, he comes to pick him up, and he's like, insects try to shoot me, and but they got, they found Sam, who's, you know, the glasses, Sam has the glasses, yeah, because,
00:12:33
Conor
Yeah, please go.
00:12:45
Conor
They basically got a lead. Yeah.
00:12:49
Nicole Shine
All we know for now is that they're after his glasses, you know, the glad his grandfather's glasses.
00:12:54
Conor
From eBay posting.
00:12:54
Nicole Shine
So, yeah, because he posted on eBay, latest man 217.
00:13:01
Nicole Shine
Which will come up later, again, as far as said.
00:13:02
Conor
Yep, exactly.
00:13:04
Nicole Shine
so um that's it for now. So Sam got his car and he's off to, I guess, hang, find Michaela.
00:13:16
Conor
Yeah.
00:13:17
Nicole Shine
So him and his, yeah, so him his friend roll up to the meeting, you know, park where everybody hangs out, I guess.
00:13:17
Conor
Try to impress her, basically.
00:13:26
Nicole Shine
And, um, he, um, he sees Michaela and she's with her jock boyfriend and he's being a douchebag. And, um,
00:13:36
Conor
course.
00:13:37
Nicole Shine
Yeah. And um they kind of blow him off or whatever. And his friend kind of embarrasses him. And a she, Mikhail and her boyfriend kind of get into this little fight.
00:13:50
Nicole Shine
Because he won't let her drive his car or something. don't know. It's a real, itt it don't matter. But anyway, they get.
00:13:55
Conor
Yeah, basically is like, get in the back and be a bunny or some shit like that.
00:13:59
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:13:59
Conor
And she's like, okay, I've had enough.
00:13:59
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:14:01
Conor
And starts walking home.
00:14:04
Nicole Shine
And then Bumblebee.
00:14:04
Conor
And he's like, she'll be back.
00:14:06
Nicole Shine
Yeah, he's like, you'll call me. It's just funny. And ah Bumblebee starts playing because ah he can't speak, so he can only speak through the radio. So he starts playing Baby Combat.
00:14:18
Nicole Shine
No, he plays Who's Gonna Drive You Home.
00:14:19
Conor
No, the cars drive her home, yeah.
00:14:21
Nicole Shine
Yeah, Who's Gonna Drive You Home Tonight. And Sam's like, I need to drive her home. I'll give her a ride.
00:14:26
Conor
Yeah.
00:14:26
Nicole Shine
So, like, so this is the first instance of Bumblebee playing a weirdly specific song to a situation that he does not pick up on. so he tells his friend, oh, you gotta find another way home.
00:14:38
Nicole Shine
He just, like, leaves his friend at the park. Like, and he offers to give her a ride.
00:14:40
Conor
Right?
00:14:44
Nicole Shine
So they start writing. She's like, OK, whatever. um And then they start talking. And she's like, um so you knew at school or whatever? And he's like, no. We've been in the same school since first grade.
00:15:00
Nicole Shine
She's like, oh, do we have any? too He's like, we have English, math, science, like all the classes.
00:15:05
Conor
Basically every class.
00:15:06
Nicole Shine
She's like, oh, Sam, oh, Sam. So, um while they're driving, Bumblebee, like, starts playing a sexual healing and breaks down.
00:15:19
Nicole Shine
And I'm like, yeah, like, gonna, like, make out Point Hill or something.
00:15:19
Conor
Like right on a fucking overlook hill or something.
00:15:25
Conor
Yeah.
00:15:26
Nicole Shine
And Sam's like, i'm I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. And I'm like, you don't find it weird that your car is just, like, randomly playing music? You know, like, what station even is this?
00:15:37
Conor
Yeah.
00:15:39
Nicole Shine
that car is way too old to have satellites, so, like, what what station is it?
00:15:42
Conor
It's
00:15:43
Nicole Shine
So, um, she gets out and, like, fixes the car, she obviously knows a lot, she says she knows a lot about cars, she worked on cars with her dad, so, um, he she picks the hood, and she noticed, like, the engine is, like, it's an old crappy car, but it has this really, like, pristine, cool engine, which is odd, and, um, um,
00:16:01
Conor
like brand new looking.
00:16:06
Conor
little bit.
00:16:09
Nicole Shine
she's working on the car and um he was like, what is Sam? He said something in a piss her off. She said something like, well, if, you know, that guy's such a douchebag, why you hang out with him or whatever? And she's like, oh, I think I'll just walk.
00:16:25
Conor
Yeah, he starts getting too deep towards her, and she's like, I'm out.
00:16:30
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm. So, Bumblebee starts back up and he starts playing, baby, come back. Yeah.
00:16:39
Conor
That is the creepiest creeper car ever, man.
00:16:39
Nicole Shine
Again, weirdly specific song for the situation.
00:16:45
Conor
Yep.
00:16:45
Nicole Shine
And, um, he, she takes a ride from him. He takes her home and they kind of have a little moment. And, um, he's like, um, you know, he drops her off and she says, thank you. And he's like, I love my car. Yeah. So,
00:17:02
Conor
Now he likes the car.
00:17:03
Nicole Shine
yeah
00:17:03
Conor
The creeper car.
00:17:05
Nicole Shine
so um ah While then we cut back to the Air Force guys, they got the ones that we started with, they survived. They managed to survive. They ran off. Tyrese took a picture of the of blackout. He managed to get a picture and they got away. But while they were getting away, he like, like Scorponix was attached to his back and he like flung him off and he dug into the sand and followed him.
00:17:34
Conor
Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:17:36
Nicole Shine
ah So they get into the little village or whatever. And he pops out of the sand and starts fucking them up. And ah they're fighting him. And he's just like this big, like, scorpion-looking thing.
00:17:49
Nicole Shine
And um so while they're having a firefight with him, he stabs one the guys.
00:17:49
Conor
yeah
00:17:54
Nicole Shine
And um the kid, there's this kid that's with them. And he's like, you have a phone? So they get his phone. And he manages to contact the base. But it's funny because like the customer service guy on the other line. It's so funny.
00:18:13
Conor
Yeah.
00:18:13
Nicole Shine
He's like, sir, the attitude is not going to get us anywhere at all. And it's like firefighting, shooting, and explosions in the background.
Comedic Bureaucracy Scene
00:18:21
Conor
Like you would think like you'd stop your spiel, you know?
00:18:21
Nicole Shine
He's like, you yeah. He's like, he got to get a credit card. And while they're fighting it, he has to get Tyrese's credit card. It's like a whole big thing.
00:18:32
Nicole Shine
He's like, would you like our our ah membership plan or whatever. He's like, no, I don't want a membership plan. So, yeah, but they managed to call him back up and um finally end up getting wounding, scorponic, and um he I don't think they kill him, though.
00:18:57
Nicole Shine
He's kind of like, his tail detaches.
00:18:58
Conor
No, they basically blast his tail off.
00:19:01
Nicole Shine
Yeah, and he, like, digs more into the sand, and that's the end of end of him. That we see at him for the rest of the movie. So, and they get help, and they get lifted out of there, and the defense guy is like, I want those guys home and debriefed in 10 hours.
00:19:20
Conor
Yes, sir.
00:19:20
Nicole Shine
And that's it. Yeah, okay.
00:19:21
Conor
All right.
00:19:21
Nicole Shine
And that's what happened. So, um but now they know they can be, like, wounded by our weapons or whatever. ah So, while this is going on, we cut back to Sam and Bumblebee.
00:19:37
Nicole Shine
And Bumblebee steals himself. And Sam wakes up like, somebody's stealing my car. So, he follows them. It's at nighttime. He follows them to this, like, junkyard.
00:19:50
Nicole Shine
And what um what Bumblebee is doing is he's calling um he's calling for backup to other Autobots. Like he's sending the same signal out.
00:20:04
Nicole Shine
um But Sam doesn't. he's He sees them like transform from a robot and stand up. And he's like, what the? So he starts calling the police because he called the police when he started somebody i was stealing his car.
00:20:12
Conor
Yeah, right?
00:20:17
Nicole Shine
And then he's like, Okay, um this is my laugh this might be my last night on earth. Mom and dad, if you find this in my room, it's not mine. And Mojo, that's their dog. He's like, I love you. And whatever. And um these dogs start chasing him in the in the yard. And he runs and gets on top of this thing. And then the cops come and arrest him because he called the cops.
00:20:39
Conor
Yeah.
00:20:39
Nicole Shine
Um, and he's like, my, my car, uh, stole itself and transformed into a robot. And they're like, they think he's on drugs. It's pretty funny. They're like, okay, time fill it up. And they give him a cup thinking he's on drugs. And he has his dog Mojo's pills in his, his, uh, pocket. He's like, the cop's like, oh, Mojo, huh? That what the kid's doing?
00:21:01
Nicole Shine
Little Mojo. It's so funny. And then the cop goes to like, He looks away and Sam kind of looks at his gun. He's like, oh, yeah I have all of my pee.
00:21:13
Nicole Shine
Huh? You got all my pee 50 cent? He's like, go ahead, make a move.
00:21:16
Conor

00:21:18
Nicole Shine
He's like, will bust you up.
00:21:18
Conor
and then Sam's like, are you on something?
00:21:21
Nicole Shine
It was funny. It was like a lot of funny lines in the movie.
Sexism in the Analyst Meeting
00:21:27

00:21:47
Conor
Yeah, yeah, they don't think aliens at this point. They just think it's someone else.
00:21:52
Nicole Shine
Yeah. And she's like, this is too advanced for any technology that we know. She's like, it might be, you might think I'm crazy, but I think it's some kind of like DNA based computer. And they're like, oh, you're a crazy woman.
00:22:08
Nicole Shine
Because he's like, she the one guy is like, she's she's the one who discovered the code on the Air Force One. And one guy was like, her team.

And he's like, ooh, so he sends his cousin away he's like, I'll take a peek. And he he listens to it and he's like, you know, basically like, um you know, there's some kind of code in the system and all this stuff.
00:23:15
Nicole Shine
So they're figuring this out. But while they're figuring this out, the guys back at the Pentagon realized that she made a copy And they're on tour, so...

00:25:15
Nicole Shine
And, uh...
00:25:16
Conor
Yeah, he basically almost like kind of revs up on him and Sam keeps scooting back and then his headlights turn out to like big eyes that come out and kind of scan him then come back in.
00:25:29
Conor
and then finally he just transforms into robot form and um Sam gets up and tries to run Barricade just slaps the shit out of him.
00:25:40
Nicole Shine
he slapped the fuck would have been dead then.
00:25:41

00:26:28
Nicole Shine
And then he runs out after him. They start running and the same but ah Bumblebee gets there and tells him to them get in He's like, we got to get in, trust me. So he starts running and Barricade's chasing him, like driving off and Barricade chasing him.
00:26:46
Nicole Shine
And she's freaking out. And he's like, don't worry, he's a kick-ass driver. And um they go to this other lot and Bumblebee kind of like, he tries to hide, but then they keep trying to start the car and give away their position. So he kicks him out.
00:27:05
Nicole Shine
He throws him out of the car.
00:27:07
Conor
Yeah, like he's trying to be all quiet and shit and you still don't get it. You've seen him transform into a robot like for real shut up. I know he knows what he's doing.
00:27:17
Nicole Shine
yeah so he transformed and they have a fight and a bumblebee and barricade have a big ass fight and then um in the meantime frenzy was attached to the barricade and he's after them and he attacks sam and trying to get him he's like gonna kill me he's gonna kill me i know michaela goes and gets like this
00:27:34
Conor
Takes his pants off and shit.
00:27:40
Nicole Shine
ah saw a thing, and then she finds it, and like, chops him up, chops his head off, and then they kick it, he's like, not so tough but without a head, are you?
00:27:46
Conor
Chumps his head off.
00:27:50
Nicole Shine
And they like, punt his head. Um, and Barricade is fucked up. I thought he was dead, but he wasn't.
00:27:56
Conor
Yeah, Bumblebee.
00:27:57
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm.
00:27:58
Conor
I know, I thought Bumblebee killed him at first, but no, he just knocked him the fuck out.
00:28:04
Nicole Shine
And, uh, Basically, he he Bumblebee walks up on him, and they think he's they're like here he's definitely Japanese. japanese and he's he's like He's telling them, through because he talks to the radio, he's like, visitors from outer space. so He's like, wait, so you're an alien?
00:28:21
Nicole Shine
He's like, yeah, you got it. and he's like um He's like, what were you doing last night? and He basically tells them I was sending a message. and ah He transformed back into a car, and he opens the door, like, get in.
00:28:35
Nicole Shine
And first, Mikhail's apprehensive. And Sam's like, in 50 years, don't you want to say you have the guts to get in? i told Connor, would have been like, no.
00:28:46
Nicole Shine
One fucking robot chasing me and trying to kill me is enough for me. Thanks.
00:28:50
Conor
Right? Well, this has been fun, Sam, but i don't think it's going work out.
00:28:53
Nicole Shine
Yeah. So in the meantime, Frenzy, because he's just a little head now, he transforms into Mikhail's phone, a copy of her phone.
00:29:00
Conor
Yeah, he kicks her phone and transforms into it. Yep.
00:29:04
Nicole Shine
and, and, gets into her purse, and stows away, and, plot hole, that told Connor, about this, is like, I, don't you think, that Bumblebee, would have been able, to recognize, that he was in there, yeah, that, that the Con was there, in there,
00:29:16
Conor
Decepticon, like, yeah, yeah, you would think, well, maybe he's just so hyper-focused on getting Sam inside Michaela's pants.
00:29:28
Nicole Shine
he was, too focused on it,
00:29:30
Conor
Dude, that's the real plot of this movie.
00:29:33
Nicole Shine
it
00:29:34
Conor
That's why the Transformers came to Earth, to get Sam some ass.
00:29:38
Nicole Shine
Yeah, because he's, she's riding, like, in the middle part, and she's like, he's like, why you sit the seat? She's like, I'm not gonna sit in the seat, he's driving. It's like, hee hee hee. So, um, he's like, well, you can sit on my left.
00:29:52
Nicole Shine
She was like, he's like, oh, safety, I have the only seatbelt. And, uh, she does, and she's like, that's a smooth move, seatbelt thing, or whatever. And, um,
00:30:02
Conor
like, yeah.
00:30:04
Nicole Shine
ah So they're driving along. she's like, what I don't understand is he can, he's a super advanced robot. Why does he keep transforming back to his crappy Camaro? And then Bumblebee just stops and kicks them out. And she's like, and drives off. And he's like, see, now you pissed him off. You pissed him off. He's sensitive.
00:30:20
Nicole Shine
And he scans this like really cool brand new Camaro and copies that and transforms it that. And they're like, what?
00:30:29
Conor
Picks them back up in this new Camaro, which I thought that was a really cool way to kind of show um what they did.
00:30:31
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:30:38
Conor
Like in the cartoon, that's what they did originally when they came to Earth. They didn't have any like you know, earthly form. So they just scanned vehicles and stuff. So I thought that was kind of, you know, very geeky, uh, throwback to the cartoon.
00:30:52
Nicole Shine
and Yeah, yee.
00:30:54
Conor
So, yeah.
00:30:56
Nicole Shine
Well, and...
00:30:56
Conor
Is this the point where we see the other ones fall to the, okay.
00:30:59
Nicole Shine
Yeah, so and while we're going to the meetup point, we see the other Autobots coming into Earth and they're like comets, four of them, and they crash and land in different spots. um So we get, I might as well just run down all the Transformers at this point.
00:31:17
Conor
Like a montage of all of them coming.
00:31:21
Nicole Shine
So Decepticons are Barricade, who's a car, who's a car cop car. It's Bone Crusher, who's like this tank, construction, is it like a construction tank?
00:31:35
Conor
Yeah, I mean, he was like a... He was one of the Constructicons in the show, but yeah, he's a tank.
00:31:39
Nicole Shine
Okay. um Starscream, who's a, um what up?
00:31:45
Conor
Like a jet, just...
00:31:46
Nicole Shine
Yeah, Jet, I forget what the, um, fighter, I forget what they're called, but a jet, um, there's, um, Devastator, who's just a regular tank, um, and Blackout, who's, like, a helicopter, um, and then the little frenzy thing, um, and then there, you know, the main, main bad guy, Megatron, um, who's, who can fly as well, he doesn't have, like, a specific, like, Earth-based
00:31:51
Conor
Yeah.
00:31:59
Conor
Yeah.
00:32:12
Conor

00:32:57
Conor

00:32:58
Nicole Shine
Yeah, he's like a big, like, GMC truck.
00:33:01
Conor
Yeah.
00:33:01
Nicole Shine
um There's Ratchet, who's the medical officer, and he's like an ambulance truck.
00:33:07
Conor
Ambulance or, yeah.
00:33:09
Nicole Shine
And then, you know, the main demand main main man, Optimus, who everybody knows is at, really cool pickup.
00:33:15
Conor
Pickup truck with flames and shit.
00:33:17
Nicole Shine
Yeah. So they all land, make their copies, and they meet up. And then, um, they meet up with Bumblebee, Sam, and Michaela.
00:33:29
Nicole Shine
And, um, he's like, are you Sam Wickwicky, grandson of Archibald Wickie? He's like, yes. He's like, we need the
The AllSpark & Megatron's Backstory
00:33:38
Nicole Shine
glass. Um, and then he basically explains the whole story of Cybertron and, um, yeah, Megatron was on, came to Earth to find the cube, but crash landed,
00:33:44
Conor
Why they're there.
00:33:50
Nicole Shine
um And his grandfather found Megatron um when he fell in the ice. And he accidentally activated his navigation and it got imprinted on his glasses and it made him blind.
00:34:06
Nicole Shine
But it got when it it fired, it shot the coordinates onto his glasses. So that's why everybody's after his grandfather's glasses.
00:34:13
Conor
Yeah.
00:34:14
Nicole Shine
And Mikhail is like, please, please tell me you have those glasses still. Because basically, they want to use the cube to repopulate their race. um They're going to use Earth.
00:34:26
Nicole Shine
The Decepticons want to use Earth technology to make more Decepticons, I guess, and take over Earth.
00:34:32
Conor
Yeah.
00:34:34
Nicole Shine
Which, because told Connor, said, it seems like that cube only makes Decepticons. Like, i I haven't seen, it didn't make any Autobots.
00:34:39
Conor
Yeah. Seriously, man. There's something wrong with that cube.
00:34:44
Nicole Shine
Yeah. So, um they go back to Sam's house to try to find the glasses. um And while they're doing this, just the Autobots are just doing the most. Like, they're destroying his whole, like...
00:34:59
Nicole Shine
his parents whole backyard stepping on everything stepping on their fountain crushing their flowers i'm like you would think people in the neighborhood would hear all this fucking shaking
00:35:09
Conor
Right? The fucking tremors and shit.
00:35:13
Nicole Shine
and at one point they do like um i think it's uh who is the ratchet he like falls on the power lines in fall trips and falls and they think it's an earthquake his dad gets up and runs so fast to fucking say i it's connor his mom's like how did he get over there so fast yeah so
00:35:29
Conor
Hey, man, you got to react.
00:35:37
Nicole Shine
he's trying to saw you know keep them from from his parents from seeing them but they're rushing about the glasses and they're making and all this noise and all this racket but It's the whole big thing.
00:35:49
Nicole Shine
And then after he falls, his parents, after the fall, he knocked out the power. So his parents go upstairs to um to check on him. And they see his light coming, big old light, because they're shining there, big-ass lights in the in the room so he could see.
00:36:03
Conor
floodlights and shit.
00:36:05
Nicole Shine
and his dad's like, who's in there? no than Knock down the door. And he goes to open his door, and he's like, yeah, what's going on? Yeah. And his mom's like, why are you so sweaty and dirty? He's like, I'm a child.
00:36:18
Nicole Shine
I'm a teenager. And his mom's like, why you being so defensive? Were you masturbating? And his mom and his dad both like, oh, no, you can't say that.
00:36:30
Conor
Come on, man.
00:36:30
Nicole Shine
ah She's like, we don't have to call it that. We can call it Sam's special alone time with this stuff.
00:36:38
Conor
Or wasn't happy time?
00:36:40
Nicole Shine
Yeah. Yeah. happy time with this stuff, and the whole time, Mikhail is in there, like, hiding, and hearing all this embarrassing stuff, and then, like, they won't leave, because in the, even the Autobots, um, so I was like, um, he was like, his parents are really, you wanna, shall we take them out, you know, it's like, we don't hurt humans, he was like, it's ah it's an option, um,
00:36:55
Conor
The parents are annoying. He is fucking itching to shoot someone, man.
00:37:07
Nicole Shine
So finally, Michaela comes out because they won't leave. And they're like, oh, I got a girl here, you know, all that stuff. So um they go downstairs, and the glasses were downstairs. So they find them. They're like, OK, we got them.
00:37:24
Nicole Shine
But in the meantime, Sector 7, who's like the special government alien wing, come.

00:37:50
Nicole Shine
So they come interrogate him and. then They scan him and he has all the radiation or whatever all over from the Autobot. So they're like, yeah, take him away.
00:38:03

So they take everybody, him, his parents, even the little, they got this big ass fucking pole to take this little extra while. wow And, um, yeah.
00:38:11
Conor

She's a criminal, whatever, and she has a whole juvie record, and she comes, says she was stealing, she used to steal cars with her dad, and they didn't have, you know, that's why she has a record.
00:38:51
Conor

00:38:53
Nicole Shine
Yeah, basically. And Sam's like, oh, you stole cars, kind of like. And she's like, you know, I'm sorry my little life wasn't as perfect as yours or whatever. You know, we didn't have money for a babysitter. I had to go with my dad, all this stuff.
00:39:06
Nicole Shine
So, um, it seems like she's a criminal. Criminals are hot. I was like, ew.
00:39:12
Conor
That's again, movie's got some creepy lines and.
00:39:16
Nicole Shine
I don't know. That Michael Bay humor. And we talk about everybody in this movie is so sweaty.
00:39:18
Conor
Yeah.
00:39:21
Nicole Shine
Like, everybody in this movie.
00:39:21
Conor

00:39:22
Nicole Shine
Like, in know it doesn't matter where they are. In the office, inside, outside. Everybody is sweaty and glistening. Like, why?
00:39:30
Conor
It's just gotta be hot that time of year or something.
00:39:33
Nicole Shine
Everybody looks so sticky. i was like, if he could have made if he couldve made the Transformers look sticky, you would have.
00:39:35
Conor

00:39:40
Conor
Like sweating oil and shit.
00:39:42
Nicole Shine
Yeah, like, everybody's all sweaty and glistening. but
00:39:48
Nicole Shine

00:39:54
Conor
Yeah. Yeah, that the sweatiness and the lens flare. Like, dude. Maybe that's why they're so sweaty. There's these hot beaming lights always hitting them.
00:40:06
Conor
Jesus, man.
00:40:08
Nicole Shine
so um While they're driving to take them away, the Autobots come and pick up the car and rip the roof off. And Optimus is like, taking the children was a mistake.
00:40:22
Nicole Shine
And, you know, the ah they take their guns away. And um they get out. And they make Simmons strip. And they tie him up for threatening her dad.
00:40:36
Nicole Shine
And they're like, and the other guy says to Simmons, like, we got to tell, Simmons tells the other guy, we got to tell everybody. And he's like, already did speakerphone.
00:40:47
Nicole Shine
So they're on the, you know, the rest of the Sector 7 guys are there to, you know, and they start attacking the Autobots and they roll out. um And Sam and Michaela go with Optimus. And um they're about to get him. But B intervenes and gets captured.
00:41:09
Nicole Shine
And um they get captured again. Because Optimus kind of drops him. Like they were hanging on. But they fall. And they go try rescue B. And Simmons ends up getting him and taking him away. And Jazz like, we're just going to let them get B. Because Jazz is like,
00:41:29
Nicole Shine
the quote-unquote black one, I guess.
00:41:32
Conor
yeah
00:41:33
Nicole Shine
And they said they, because they even said, how do they learn to talk like that? And they were like, we learn Irish languages by from the World Wide Web or whatever. I'm like, was he watching BT?
00:41:42
Conor
I was about to say, no, not World Wide Web. You said BET, and that's so dead on.
00:41:47
Nicole Shine
Because you when they first he first introduced himself, he's like, what's kicking little bitches?
00:41:53
Conor

00:41:55
Nicole Shine

Nicole Shine
I know, she got an ass.
00:42:02
Conor

00:42:04
Nicole Shine
But I'm like, like, y'all don't even know what an ass is. They don't even have ass on Cybertron.
00:42:07
Conor
I know, right?
00:42:10
Nicole Shine
So, um, yeah y'all reproduce by fucking, I don't even, I forgot how they even reproduce. But, um, it's,
00:42:17
Conor
I don't know.
00:42:20
Nicole Shine
So he's like, yeah, we're going let him be left to be some kind of human experiment. And Optimus is like, you know, be, yes.
00:42:27
Conor
Yeah.
00:42:29
Nicole Shine
Basically, he was just cold with it. He's like, yes. He was like, we can't. There's no way to free him without hurting humans. And um
00:42:35
Conor
You know, he's just doing leadership, shit you know, like seeing the bigger picture.
00:42:38
Nicole Shine
yeah, Bumby's a brave, yeah, he's a brave soldier. knows the cost and all this stuff. He just worried. He got the glasses. That's all he care about.
00:42:47
Conor

00:42:52
Nicole Shine
So in the meantime, we cut back to the Pentagon.
00:42:55
Conor
Pentagon.
00:42:55
Nicole Shine
um Oh, the army guys got there and they think they gonna get to go home, but nope, because we cut back to the Pentagon and the Sector 7 guy goes to them.
00:43:00
Conor
Nope.
00:43:05
Nicole Shine
And at first the Secretary Defense kind of is trying to blow them off. Like, um yeah, no, you know, I'm busy here because they about to start attacking people for no reason.
00:43:16
Conor
Yeah.
00:43:17
Nicole Shine
And they're about to launch this attack. And right when they're about to launch it, everything shuts down. All the satellites, all the phones, all the communications shut down. And ah the guy's just sitting there like, whooo did and then he's like, I really think you need to see. i was sitting here by the president himself. I really think you need to see what's in my briefcase.
00:43:36
Nicole Shine
was so kind of funny. He would opened it. have been naked pictures of himself.
00:43:41
Conor
He did glamour shots of himself and shit.
00:43:45
Nicole Shine
But basically, they show them, like, oh, they sent a thing to Mars, and they got an image of one of the Transformers.
00:43:54
Conor
This was like above classified or top secret.
00:43:56
Nicole Shine
Yeah. And, you know, they built, who they found Megatron, who they're calling MBE-1, and they found the cube, and it's in the Hoover Dam, blah,
00:44:10
Nicole Shine
So.
00:44:10
Conor
Yeah. Just all this top secret shit that they thought they knew everything, but they
Pentagon's Secret Revelations
00:44:16
Conor
didn't. Yeah.
00:44:16
Nicole Shine
Yeah, so they go and grab um with's her name Maggie and Glenn, because they was holding them in the interrogation room this whole time.
00:44:29
Nicole Shine
And he's like, you're coming with me as my advisor, because she was the only one who knew what was going on.
00:44:36
Conor
Yeah.
00:44:37
Nicole Shine
and a And he was like, who's that? And she's like, he's my advisor. And he's like, well, he comes too.
00:44:45
Nicole Shine
Because it was so funny. i um'm My favorite part, this part is not important, but it's like my favorite part of the movie. and um They put the donuts in front of him. He eats the donuts. He ate the whole plate of donuts.
00:44:56
Conor
Yeah, he did.
00:44:56
Nicole Shine
And he's like he's like, you know what? They think he guilty. That's why he put the donuts there. Because he's guilty, he won't eat the donuts. He's like, I ate the whole plate. The whole plate. He's like, when they come in here, don't say nothing.
00:45:07
Nicole Shine
So they came in there, and all he did was throw the file down the table. He's like, she did it. She's the one you want. She did it.
00:45:13
Conor
He cracked like a motherfucker.
00:45:13
Nicole Shine
ah And he's like, I never did nothing wrong. I'm still a virgin. and she goes to talk. He's like, shut up. Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me, criminal.
00:45:24
Conor
ah
00:45:26
Nicole Shine
I love that part. I'm all it took, we and he didn't even have to say nothing for him to crack.
00:45:31
Conor
And then at the end of his rant, I love how he's like, I'm sugar hot crash. And then slams his head down.
00:45:39
Nicole Shine
So, um, they have to go to Hoover Dam. Sam McKellar goes. And, you know, everybody's now and one location, which is the Hoover Dam, which apparently we get this weird backstory of how they built the dam around the cube to protect it from anybody searching for it.
00:45:50
Conor
Yeah.
00:45:57
Nicole Shine
And I'm like, okay.
00:46:00
Conor
maybe that's not bad it's kind of cool you know
00:46:03
Nicole Shine
Yeah. so they take, um, they show them Megatron. Um, oh, in the meantime, we get, um, Decepticons, um,
00:46:16
Nicole Shine
No, Frenzy. I forget how to just have to kind of learn that Megatron is in the Hoover Dam. Frenzy tells him.
00:46:23
Conor
yeah um crap how did they I think, yeah, Frenzy is basically the guy that's, you know, just getting all the info and relaying it to all the, yeah, Decepticons.
00:46:29
Nicole Shine
I...
00:46:35
Nicole Shine
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, they they're like, Starscream's like Sephkons roll out, and they start making their way all, they start making their all, making their way there, and they're like, oh, hell, Megatron.
00:46:51
Nicole Shine
And then
00:46:52
Conor
Yeah.
00:46:52
Nicole Shine
The Autobots, they, you know, find the cube and they do, Optimus does his little map thing. He's like, okay, the cube is 200 miles from here at the Hoover Dam.
00:47:05
Nicole Shine
and And they're like, why are we fighting to protect the humans? You know, they suck. Because we see him, like, doing these, like, experiments on Bumblebee and torturing him, kind of. And he's like, well, they're a primitive race, but were we any different?
00:47:18
Nicole Shine
You know, doing his Optimus stuff.
00:47:21
Conor
being leader talk, you know?
00:47:22
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I've seen good in them.
00:47:24
Conor
Yeah. I've seen the potential for getting ass from Sam on Michaela.
00:47:26
Nicole Shine
So...
00:47:32
Nicole Shine
So they take the humans go and they show them Megatron. hes They have him frozen in this chamber. And they're like MBE1. And Sam's like, that's Megatron.
00:47:44
Conor
He's like the big bad, dude.
00:47:46
Nicole Shine
And... um He's like, we need to know everything you know. But he's like, OK, cool. He's like, but I'm going need my car. I'm going to need my parents to read. And I'm going need her record gone forever. And she's like, thanks.
00:47:59
Nicole Shine
who
00:47:59
Conor
That right there sealed the deal, Sam.
00:48:01
Nicole Shine
Love him getting it.
00:48:01
Conor
Yeah.
00:48:04
Nicole Shine
This movie should be called The Quest. Forget Sam is.
00:48:06
Conor
I know, right?
00:48:09
Nicole Shine
Transformers, The Quest. for Michaela's ass but
00:48:12
Conor
The question for your ass.
00:48:15
Nicole Shine
so they like um they talk about the cube they're here so he tells them they're here searching for this cube thing and there the sector 7 guys are kind of quiet he's like you know where it is don't you so they take them to the cube which is like a big giant cube is filling up this whole room and um the secretary defense is like don't you think that um
00:48:28
Conor
What?
00:48:39
Nicole Shine
We should have known about this when they started attacking.
00:48:41
Conor
Yeah.
00:48:43
Nicole Shine
And he's like, we had no way of knowing that it was connected. Like, really? But, um.
00:48:48
Conor
I know. Yeah, that's a stupid explanation.
00:48:51
Nicole Shine
So, they like, oh, it's hard to practice his energy. What kind of energy does it have? So, they take him into this room. And they have the cube, like, going directed at this little box.
00:49:03
Nicole Shine
he's like, anybody got a cell phone? And he the cell phone and he zaps it. And it turns into like this little fucking horrible little ah murder.
00:49:13
Conor
Decepticon.
00:49:14
Nicole Shine
Yeah, we murderous Decepticon little robot. And it's like shooting little tiny bullets and missiles and stuff trying break out of the box. And basically kind of like zap it and kill it.
00:49:22
Conor
And they finally, yeah they fry it. Yep.
00:49:27
Nicole Shine
So, um... And
Frenzy's Chaotic Influence
00:49:30
Nicole Shine
so while this is going on, Starscream gets there and he shoots the power out of the, um, the, the hanger where Megatron is.
00:49:42
Nicole Shine
Like, so it loses power and he's, yeah, so it starts, stops cooling him.
00:49:44
Conor
So it stops cooling Megatron and putting them in stasis. Yeah.
00:49:48
Nicole Shine
Yeah. And Frenzy goes in, breaks in and first he gets his body back cause he goes under the cube and gets his body restored. and then he goes in the little control room and starts shutting everything down and megatron's the frosting and the thing it's funny because when the when star screen's missile hits the hanger and it shakes this one you just see this one guy run off remember that one it was a two guys standing there and that one guy runs off
00:50:02
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:50:14
Conor
Yeah, one single dude. And that's funny, because like you were saying, that would be me. And honestly, that would be me too.
00:50:20
Nicole Shine
that would be me
00:50:22
Conor
And everyone else is just standing there dumbfounded.
00:50:24
Nicole Shine
ah like he's the frosting they're the frosting and they're just standing there and it's like you got the you see how big like y'all seen what that thing does to little things you seen this big ass fucking thing there you better fucking run so um
00:50:25
Conor
And they're still doing their job.
00:50:35
Conor
Seriously, Right?
00:50:39
Conor
right As soon as see one piece of ice fall off of him, I'm gone.
00:50:45
Nicole Shine
yeah so um they're like we gotta to get that cube out of here that's what he wants and y'all got it in the same damn building So um he's like, I need my car. You got to take me to in my car. He'll know what to do with it.
00:50:59
Nicole Shine
So they take them. They were like trying to freeze B. But Sam's like, get off of them. Get off of them. And at first, B's like, pulls his cannons out. Like, I'm about to blast these guys.
00:51:09
Nicole Shine
But he's like, no, you're OK.
00:51:09
Conor
Yeah, he's ready fucking, you know, whoop their ass.
00:51:11
Nicole Shine
You're OK. You're right. You're not going hurt you anymore. So he's like, the cue the cube is here. So he he takes him to the cube and like he just kind of like puts his hands on it and it shrinks down to this little tiny like handheld cube from this like big room size cube.
00:51:28
Conor
Like a 12 by 12 inch fucking cube.
00:51:29
Nicole Shine
And yeah.
00:51:32
Conor
Like, dude, that would have been helpful.
00:51:34
Nicole Shine
So the plan is they're going to take, notice we're going to talk about this plan. They're going to take the cube into the city to get it away from them.
00:51:38
Conor
Yeah.
00:51:41
Conor
The populated city.
00:51:42
Nicole Shine
and And then the defense guys are going to send a signal out to call for backup. And the um the Air Force guys are going to help, you know, escort them to the city to get the cube away from the city.
00:51:57
Nicole Shine
So I'm... My thing is like, a why? Okay, you could have just fought them. Yeah, you could have got the cube out of there, but you could have just went further into the desert.
00:52:05
Conor
Yeah.
00:52:05
Nicole Shine
Why did you have to go to this like super populated city with all these civilians around?
00:52:08
Conor
That...
00:52:11
Conor
Maybe they thought they could hide amongst all the different buildings as opposed to, like, being spotted easily walking through the desert. I don't know. You know?
00:52:21
Nicole Shine
Whatever.
00:52:21
Conor
Yeah.
00:52:21
Nicole Shine
But anyway, so they this that's the plan.
00:52:23
Conor
Yeah.
00:52:24
Nicole Shine
So And the analyst guys are in the room, there's no power, remember, because, you know, they shut down the power. But um they were able to find an old, like, old CRT-esque computer.
00:52:40
Nicole Shine
And um they do Morse code out. Glenn hooks it up to do Morse code out to call for help. And the defense guy was like, I need you to, you know, send this code. And he sends the code to the other guys back up.
00:52:54
Nicole Shine
And in the meantime, Bumblebee and Sam and Mikayla in the car taking the cube out. and army guys are following them. And then they kind of like cross paths with the Autobots. And they just bust a UE real quick and start following them. Like, oh, it's Optimus.
00:53:13
Nicole Shine
So and then the Decepticons are so Megatron busts free. He wakes up and he's pissed because he's Megatron.
00:53:24
Conor
And he announces who he is.
00:53:25
Nicole Shine
He's like, I am Megatron, like we know.
00:53:28
Conor
Yeah, we know, dude.
00:53:28
Nicole Shine
And ah and ah it's funny because the guys are still like on top of him trying to freeze him. He just kind of like flings him off. And they're like, ah.
00:53:37
Conor
Like, for real. Like, do you think the shit, like, you're gonna bring a fucking fire extinguisher and that's gonna do anything? I would've been gone.
00:53:47
Nicole Shine
So he busts out. And Starscream's waiting on He just busts out. And he's like, Starscream's like, the humans are taking the cube. into you know And he's like, you failed me yet again, Starscream. I'm like, damn, hi to you too, bitch.
00:54:02
Conor
I know, right?
00:54:03
Nicole Shine
Like, your ass would still be frozen if it wasn't for me.
00:54:06
Conor
I blew up the fucking shit that was keeping you frozen, so yeah, you're welcome.
00:54:09
Nicole Shine
don't know. I'm not the one who crashed and lost the cube in the first place.
00:54:13
Conor
Right, idiot?
00:54:15
Nicole Shine
ah But while this is going on, Frenzy's attacking the analyst guys, trying to keep them from sending out the signal. And they're shooting, they're having a firefight back and forth, and they ended up eventually killing him. So he's gone. um And that's the end of the analyst guys for the rest of the movie.
00:54:32
Nicole Shine
um
00:54:32
Conor
Yep.
00:54:33
Nicole Shine
They did what they had to do. So we're on our way to the city and then the rest of the Decepticons are following us to the city. um And we see Bonecrusher rolls up and he starts like just flinging cars on the side for no reason. Like them cars wasn't doing nothing to him. He was just being a dick and flinging cars for no reason.
00:54:56
Conor
yep
00:54:56
Nicole Shine
So Optimus transformed and he transformed and they have this big fight on the freeway. punching. um Actually, it wasn't much of a fight. Optimus fucked him up.
00:55:05
Conor
It really wasn't. Optimus fucking owned his ass.
00:55:09
Nicole Shine
He fucked him up. He punched him so hard his eyeball popped out
00:55:12
Conor
He fucking...
00:55:15
Conor
Right? And then he fucking pulls out his sword and just...
00:55:19
Nicole Shine
Decapitation.
00:55:20
Conor
Yeah, like right through the fucking jugular.
00:55:24
Nicole Shine
Like, you got fucked up, son.
00:55:25
Conor
Yeah, you seriously got fucked up. Yeah,
00:55:28
Nicole Shine
So, bye Bone Crusher.
00:55:32
Conor
see ya.
00:55:32
Nicole Shine
So we get to the city, and we get some radios, Tyree's character and Josh Duhamel's character. And he's like, call. He tells Tyree call for backup. And he's like, you know, call for F-15s or whatever those fighter trips are. I can't remember the name of those. F-15s?
00:55:51
Conor
Yeah, sure.
00:55:51
Nicole Shine
ah Whatever.
00:55:52
Conor
Sure.
00:55:52
Nicole Shine
Whatever called. Whatever. So um he calls with them He's like, we're going mark with the green smoke is where we are. Come and send help, blah, blah.
00:56:03
Nicole Shine
And what they think is help is actually Starscream. And he fucking shoots them. Well, when they see him, the Autobots immediately recognize who he is.
00:56:15
Nicole Shine
And they're like, it's Starscream.
00:56:16
Conor
yeah
00:56:18
Nicole Shine
So they get a truck and try to like block because they know he about to attack. and But it's a little bit, they're a little bit too slow with it. And he shoots and fucks B up. So B's legs is fucked up.
00:56:29
Conor
Yeah.
00:56:31
Nicole Shine
And Lennox is like, oh you you know, they shot at us, whatever. And Tyrese is like, um they would never fly. Our guys would never fly below a building. That's not a friendly.
00:56:44
Nicole Shine
So um the,
00:56:44
Conor
Yeah. They're starting to realize it's not.
00:56:47
Nicole Shine
yeah decepticons attack um dev um devastator and um think blackout attack so they're fighting and then the um iron i keep wanting to say iron high
00:56:48

Nicole Shine
And um they're trying to get B out of there. There's a tow truck. they ran They just happened to be by a tow truck. And Sam is telling killer, like, let's hook him up so we can get him out of here.
00:57:24
Nicole Shine
and it's a big chaos, firefighting, blah, blah, blah. And um Megatron gets there. It's funny because first they're getting the better of the Decepticons.
00:57:36
Nicole Shine
And then Megatron gets there and they're like, does Megatron fall back?
00:57:40
Conor

So the Autobots like, we'll protect you. Get to the building part. Here, take this flare. Get to the building for the pickup. We'll protect you. So he starts running with the cube. And they're chasing him. But their Autobots are protecting him.
00:59:10
Nicole Shine
And it's funny because at one point, he slips and falls.
00:59:10
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:59:12
Nicole Shine
And the cube activates. And it activates like the machinery around.
00:59:17

01:00:31
Nicole Shine
And
01:00:31
Conor
Well, they've kind of known, or at least they know what kind of rounds to...

01:02:11
Nicole Shine
Before his he came like you reached out to give it to him, he shoots him.
01:02:12
Conor
Yeah.
01:02:14
Nicole Shine
Why he didn't just shoot Sam, we'll never know.
01:02:15
Conor
Yeah. I know, right?
01:02:19
Nicole Shine
Maybe he thought maybe he'd shoot the cube or damage cube.
01:02:21
Conor
Starcream's like, no, let's let's see how this plays out.
01:02:22
Nicole Shine
I don't know, right? Yeah, he kind of... Starscream's kind of always been a little shifty.
01:02:28
Conor
Oh, yeah. I mean, that's true to his character.
01:02:31
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
01:02:31
Conor
In the fucking...
01:02:31
Nicole Shine
Like, Megatron might not win.
01:02:32
Conor
ah Yep, because he wants to be later, man.
01:02:33
Nicole Shine
I gotta see how it plays out. Mm-hmm.
01:02:36
Conor
So, yeah, that's true of form.
01:02:39
Nicole Shine
So... um Sam's like, I'm never giving you this cube. So, um
01:02:46
Conor
That's where he says that
Optimus Prime's Sacrifice Plan
01:02:47
Conor
line. I said that a little too early.
01:02:49
Nicole Shine
yeah, he's he smashes them down. He starts to flee. He's like, dumb decision. And he starts to fall, but Prime catches him. And he's like, hold on to my, you know, hold on to me. I'll save you. And he, like, falls down with him.
01:03:04
Nicole Shine
And he tells him, he's about, he's like, if I can't defeat Megatron, I need you to ignite, push the cube in my chest. I'll sacrifice myself, you know, or whatever.
01:03:13
Conor
But here's another hole. in the thing, okay, if you can't defeat Megatron, and you destroy the Allspark in Optimus's chest, then Megatron's not just gonna go away, he's probably gonna kill you and the rest the, you know, people.
01:03:28
Nicole Shine
Yeah, but they he won't be able to make more. don't
01:03:32
Conor
That's true. Yeah, but, yeah, I don't know, know.
01:03:34
Nicole Shine
know. I don't know. Whatever. But, um, so, that, put a pin in that. In the meantime, while they're fighting, black Blackout is, like, sneaking up behind Prime.
01:03:50
Conor
Yeah.
01:03:51
Nicole Shine
Because they're Decepticons. They're bad guys, so they cheat.
01:03:53
Conor
Of course.
01:03:54
Nicole Shine
So while they're fighting, he's like trying to sneak them from behind. and Lennox, Josh and Mel's character, decides that this is going to be his hero moment. So he rides his motorcycle and does this like heroic hero slide and shoots him up under chest takes him out.
01:04:13
Conor
I'm under his nuts, man.
01:04:15
Nicole Shine
Yeah, and takes him out. And then the, don't know.
01:04:18
Conor
And he slides for a long while, man.
01:04:21
Nicole Shine
He's like, I'm like, road rash.
01:04:22
Conor
and Right?
01:04:22
Nicole Shine
He's ah.
01:04:24
Conor
Well, he is sweaty.
01:04:24
Nicole Shine
so ah
01:04:25
Conor
So.
01:04:26
Nicole Shine
But it's funny because like he was sneaking up behind him and then ah Blackout turns around like, oh shit. hey sneaking I'm trying to sneak and they sneaking up on me.
01:04:36
Conor
Right? Oh, fuck.
01:04:38
Nicole Shine
And then our F-15 guys finally get there. But Starscream's out there taking them out. Like he's like blending in with them, transforming, taking them out, blending back in, transforming, taking them out.
01:04:45
Conor
Yep.
01:04:52
Nicole Shine
So they ain't really no help.
01:04:52
Conor
Yeah.
01:04:53
Nicole Shine
They do manage to get off a couple of shots at Megatron.
01:04:56
Conor
Yeah.
01:04:57
Nicole Shine
Um, cause crime is getting his ass whipped as usual.
01:05:00
Conor
He kind of is.
01:05:01
Nicole Shine
So they managed to get a shot. And then the army, the air force guys managed to get a shot on them. And that kind of like brings Megatron down too. So they're both on the ground.
01:05:12
Conor
Yeah.
01:05:13
Nicole Shine
And, um, he's like, he's still trying to get the cues. Like, give me the cues. And, uh, um,
01:05:19
Conor
Optimus is like, no, give me the cube.
01:05:20
Nicole Shine
Yeah, he's like, no, put it in my chest now. and instead of putting it in Prime's chest, he puts it in Megatron's chest and kills him with it.
Megatron's Defeat
01:05:32
Nicole Shine
And he's like, no.
01:05:36
Nicole Shine
And Starscream is like, I'm out.
01:05:40
Nicole Shine
He takes
01:05:41
Conor
For real. Like true Starscream form.
01:05:46
Nicole Shine
And, um, so, uh, that's the end of that. Um, uh, Prime is kind of like, I'm sorry you had to end this way, brother.
01:05:58
Nicole Shine
And, uh, there it's done, the rest of Autobots show up, and Jazz is in pieces.
01:06:05
Conor
Optimus is holding them.
01:06:08
Nicole Shine
And one in each hand.
01:06:10
Conor
Right? He's like, oh, we lost a brother today.
01:06:13
Nicole Shine
We lost a great Conrad today.
01:06:15
Conor
But we gained some more.
01:06:15
Nicole Shine
But we And new friends.
01:06:17
Conor
I'm like, who? The humans?
01:06:19
Nicole Shine
I guess the humans.
01:06:19
Conor
What are they going to
01:06:22
Nicole Shine
So that's it. The military is going to hide the, um take the bodies of the dead. probably the ocean to hide them.
01:06:32
Conor
Drop them in the deepest part of the ocean. and
01:06:35
Nicole Shine
Even though hundreds of people have seen them fight.
01:06:36
Conor
and they
01:06:40
Conor
Just men in black it. That's all you gotta do.
01:06:43
Nicole Shine
And I'm like, this was, what, 2007? So there was definitely phone cameras there, right?
01:06:47
Conor
Yeah, yeah.
01:06:49
Nicole Shine
thought Nobody got any pictures or...
01:06:52
Conor
That's true.
01:06:52
Nicole Shine
i
01:06:52
Conor
I didn't think that. And they also disbanded Section 7 or whatever.
01:06:57
Nicole Shine
Yeah, they spent a section, Sector 7.
01:07:00
Conor
Sector 7. Yeah.
01:07:01
Nicole Shine
ah Bumblebee can talk now for some reason.
01:07:04
Conor
Yeah, he I don't know how that...
01:07:05
Nicole Shine
I guess getting a shot fixed his voice.
01:07:07
Conor
Yeah.
01:07:09
Nicole Shine
And he wants to stay with Sam. For what reason? i have no idea.
01:07:13
Conor
So he can see this shit through. so he can see him get some ass.
01:07:16
Nicole Shine
make sure he gets laid, um army guys finally get to go home, um and at the end it's funny, at the end of the movie, we're all chilling on top of a hill, and Sam and Michaela are making out on top of Bumblebee,
01:07:24
Conor
Mm-hmm.
Autobots' New Home on Earth
01:07:32
Conor
Yep.
01:07:33
Nicole Shine
which is weird, and I'm like, is that a threesome, or, oh, and the other ones are just watching,
01:07:42
Nicole Shine
And then Prime is just standing there like to all other Autobots. And out the galaxy. You know. We found a new home on Earth. And come here.

01:07:58
Conor
ah
01:07:58
Nicole Shine
And then. And his parents get released and they're covering it up like aliens, there's no aliens. And then the government would tell you and all this stuff.
01:08:10
Nicole Shine
And then um we see Starscream flying off into the cosmos getting away.
01:08:14
Conor

Nicole Shine

Nicole Shine
Yeah.
01:12:12
Conor
Yeah, I mean, I know he was very integral to pushing the plot along and how they found the AllSpark and everything, but he was annoying as shit to me.

Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm.
01:12:26
Conor
So, yeah.
01:12:27

Nicole Shine
I'm going to say yes
01:12:39

Racial Stereotypes Critique
01:12:40
Nicole Shine
Because, yeah, while he's not the worst offender in these movies, they actually get much, much worse.
01:12:52
Conor
Yeah.
01:12:53
Nicole Shine
But I'm looking at you, Mud Flappin', I forget what the other one's name is. um
01:12:56
Conor
Right? ah
01:12:57
Nicole Shine
It was the first instance of, we gotta to make a hood one, or
01:13:03
Conor
Right? Yeah, this one's like the black one. Yeah.
01:13:07
Nicole Shine
And he just couldn't be regular. He had to be with chicken little bitches.
01:13:09
Conor
No. He was break dancing and shit.
01:13:10
Nicole Shine
Like, like, what the fuck? Why does he have to be like that? Like, he could have just been, he could have just been regular.
01:13:17
Conor

01:13:19
Nicole Shine
Like, the fuck? He could have had a black voice.
01:13:20
Conor
no
01:13:21
Nicole Shine
He could been voiced by a black actor, but he could have just been regular. Why he had to be like that?
01:13:26
Conor
Because that's how Hollywood sees, I don't know.
01:13:30
Nicole Shine
So, yeah, that that was

01:13:32
Nicole Shine
annoying to me. Um, does the movie hold up?
01:13:33
Conor

01:13:45
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
01:13:46
Conor
Like, um I remember when I first saw it, I was excited to see, you know, live action from one of my favorite cartoons growing up. But then i after seeing it, I was like, yeah, that was cool, but I wasn't really into it. And plus, like, the the design of them was, I wanted them to look more like the fucking cartoon, I'll be honest.
01:14:10
Conor
They were too, like, scrap metal-y looking, you know. So, but yeah, the movie does hold up. Yeah.
01:14:18
Nicole Shine
I think it does. Like you said, I think it holds up better than some of the sequels.
Sequel Repetition & Rewatchability
01:14:24
Conor
Yeah, for sure.
01:14:25
Nicole Shine
um I know a lot of the sequels kind of repeat um what this, you know, the same thing, looking for a MacGuffin.
01:14:36
Conor
Yeah.
01:14:37
Nicole Shine
You know, kind of the same formula. So I think this one, um'm I'm always down to watch it. um I like the Beast one.
01:14:48
Conor
The Beast Wars? No, I know. I remember i took you.
01:14:50
