I'm from Generation X, and grew up on all things Transformers. I had mixed feelings about this movie, however I went into it with an open mind giving Chris Hemsworth a shot at playing Optimus. I find it refreshing to see an origin of Optimus and D16. Or should I say Orion Pax. which I'm familiar with the lore. From the Autobots to the Dinobots to the maximals. To the Decepticons, the destructicons, and the Predacons. From Orion pax, to Optimus Prime, to Rodimus Prime, and Optimus primal. Originating from Megatronis Prime, and ending up with D16. Transforming into Megatron and finally Galvatron. I also appreciate the fact that they took the time to explain the origin of the Decepticons. Orion and D16 meeting and becoming like brothers. To the separation and the transformation of both, and I was on the fence at first. However, I really appreciate Chris Hemsworth giving his best to sound like Peter Cullins at the end. To all the haters of this movie, keep an open mind, and you're wrong. All the true blue fans of the Transformers franchise, whom grew up watching the Animated Series, playing with the toys, and watching all the movies. The newer Transformers with Rodimus, beast wars, and Beast Machines as well as all the other incarnations over the years. Not all of them have been winners, but a lot of them have been really good and follow the Transformer lore.
