This is supposed to be the first part of the second trilogy, at least that is what the internet tells me. I accepted Galvatron's minor role in this film because he is likely the focus on one, if not both, of the next films. Give him a half-assed origins story in this film so he can simple "be there" in the follow ups.

Kind of my feelings about the dinos to, hoping it is their intro and they'll be more active in follow ups. However, I am a bit less trusting about them. Bay has a history of introducing autobots in one film that are never heard from again in follow ups. I really hope the dinos do not fall into that "void of secondary autobots" that consumed other fan favorites like Arcee...

The "human crafted" transformation sequence annoyed me to no end. Didn't really make much sense to me and mostly came off as Bay waving a huge "LOOK AT MY CGI!!!" sign every time they used it center-screen. I hope they downplay it, or eliminate it completely, in future films. I will tolerate it for Galvatron, because it would be a unique thing just for him. But, when everyone does it, it gets old real quick.
