Optimus and Galvatron start duking it
out, giving us another taste of the Autobot leader's legendary
wisdom: “YOU DIE!”. Oh Optimus, you so crazy... and homicidal.
Shit starts getting real when Lockdown's ship MAGICALLY APPEARS OUT
OF NOWHERE and fires rockets into Optimus. Seriously, that ship HAS
to have teleportation abilities because I question how no one would
have noticed a thing that big landing nearby. Lockdown emerges as
slow motiony as his frame will allow, upping the slow motion shots in
this movie to probably DOUBLE the entire original trilogy. He takes
out Optimus with a volley of cannon blasts, announcing he has been
sent by Optimus' creators to return him to where he was created.
His... creators? But I thought the AllSpark- on second thought, I'll
just let this play out because I KNOW there's more coming.
Lockdown deploys a giant net to not
only catch Optimus, but the car he's resting his head on. This is
important because Tessa is hiding in the car despite having multiple
chances to leave. She's not the brightest explosion in the Michael
Bay pyrotechnics pack, is she? Lockdown hauls them into his ship and
takes off, leaving us to wonder how the net got underneath Optimus
and the car to scoop them up? Why the hell wouldn't Lockdown's ship
have a freaking tractor beam anyway?!
