This is why, as a Transformer fan since childhood, I loathe these movies. You just cant give this level of horrible a pass. Call the movies Murda-Bots or Racist Stere-Type-Icons, or Go-Bots or something: Prime frees them (the Dinobots) at the climactic battle before beating them into servitude in the name of ‘freedom.’ He literally tells one of them that he is giving him freedom and follows that up with ‘You will defend my family or die!,’ That is beyond dumb. A straight to jail, do not pass go level of dumb and awfulness that undermines the character of Optimus Prime. Infact, its actually a GREAT line to give to Grimlock (the T-rex) himself, as he was a character bound by contradiction in the comics. An Autobot who sometimes fought WAY too heavy that he verged on being a bad guy. Someone got paid to write that scene and dialogue and someone is paying to watch it and not noticing the contradiction of concepts and characters. Elee, James, Paul, Paul
