I know that, what I am saying is what happened during that 4 year gap between DOTM and AOE

Well, I'm guessing that NEST was disbanded and the CIA was given complete control of hunting down and eliminating the Transformer threat. Not sure where Lockdown met Fraser though...

At first when I saw those robots transform into weapons and Cade picked one up, I thought for a second "Wait what!! are those robots Targetmasters?"

It should be 5 reasons people with brains shouldn't listen to what others tell them and go see it for themselves to make opinions on their own. I'm so sick of people waiting for the media or another to make decisions for them. Also as a woman I saw no issues with Tessa.

Well, it is par for the course from a Huff Post "activist"

However, She did bring up a good point about the whole underage/Romeo & Juilet law. Why was that part of the movie?? If Tessa was 18, the point would be moot.

Also, can a girl not get some sensible shoes in a action movie?

Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

Personally I was more annoyed with her bringing up racism again, and going off Drift. When it's pretty clear from the movie he's meant to be an ancient Samurai inspired robot and also his face wasn't friggen yellow, it was gold, ancient Samurai warriors often tended to wear coloured masks to instill more fear in their enemies... Er or so the media has led me to believe, it's possible that's a bit of a stereotype.

Also he was voiced by an Asian actor, I hardly think after seeing the character design any prominent Asian actor would want to associate themselves with a racial caricature.

Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

Ken (Drift's VA) is a very famous Japanese actor in both Japan and China, if he felt it offensive I am sure he would be up in arms about it. I am sure Japan also would be up in arms over it. But neither are. Of course America has to draw attention to it like it is such a big deal to them.

Did I find it offensive? No. I just felt it was over the top. I love Drift as a character, I seriously don't understand the hate towards him. But I just found it abit much to toss every Japanese thing his way. Now that might be because Drift landed in Japan and that is where he learned most of his Earth stuff, and that might be why he knows Haiku's and keeps saying sensei.

That is what OP would be called anyways if this was a Japanese movie or in real life Japan, so it isn't too far fetch. It is like people just sit there ready to pick out every wrong thing without giving it a logical thought.

In Transformers (the first one), OP said they had learned Earth's customs and languages through the internet. Clearly Drift landed in Japan, modifed his plating because he thought it was cool while he surfed the Japanese internet, might be why he has an accented, might be why he knows Japanese customs and traditions. Like Geebus.

Also...I thought Tessa was 17 and am I the only one who wasn't bothered by the law part?
