Then there is a sneak attack battle between the two sides in the special forces training base full of strong sci-fi atmosphere, followed by an urban street chase scene comparable to the "Fate Express" series, and finally an underwater weapon battle that can be called the Undersea Star Wars.

The main highlight of the movie is these four most of the action and special effects scenes, which include extremely realistic real weapons applications and tactical images, as well as imaginative future weapons applications and unprecedented war patterns, such as aircraft, underwater fighters, mechanical armor...

Science fiction scenes that are free from reality and are not completely separated from reality not only make the audience dumbfounded, but also make the US military feel inferior. After the movie was released, a representative of the US military said that the war scene in the movie was basically more than fifty years ahead of the present, and even many weapons that appear in the movie may be difficult to develop successfully in the next seventy or eighty years and will be put into actual combat.

The film's nearly $1.8 billion investment eventually achieved a global box office of more than $300 million. Although the box office results seem a bit unsatisfactory today, this is not Transformers after all. As a soldier toy series launched by Hasbro from the 1980s to the 1990s, it is rare for the first film of "Special Forces" to achieve such results.

After Special Forces: Rise of Cobra, Hasbro's next move is Super Battleship.

"Super Battleship" is a science fiction movie based on a war chess game launched by Hasbro in the 1980s. Although the game has a certain story setting and background, it is just a war chess game after all. To adapt it into a movie that lasts more than two hours, it obviously requires a lot of story background filling and character settings.

However, this ended up being the reason why the movie "Super Battleship" was doomed to fail from the beginning.

On the one hand, the movie wants to maintain the classic elements and style of the original game, but on the other hand, it has to integrate with the historical background and military-themed movies.

The final outcome is the repeated entanglement and separation of the story plot of the movie. The first half is completely a military propaganda film of the US Navy, and the second half is a fantasy science fantasy.

Although there are a large number of plots in the first three episodes of the "Super Battleship" series where the US military participates, the careful polishing of the characters and plots makes these plots full of military propaganda not only do not feel incongruent in the whole movie, but also plays a crucial role in promoting the development of the whole movie.

"Super Battleship" is completely like a crappy imitation of "Transformers". Not only does it not show its own characteristics, but many places are copying and pasting the "Transformers" series. The existence of US warships and fighter jets in the movie is more like showing muscles outside the plot of the movie.

After the release of "Super Battleship", it undoubtedly became a victim of Hasbro Toys film and television adaptation experiment. The double failure of reputation and box office forced the producer to give up the sequel development that was originally a foregone conclusion.

According to Hasbro's vision, after the "Special Force" series launched two independent movies, the series "Transformers" and "Super Battleship" were combined in the third film to make a linked big movie.

However, Transformers 3 became the finale of the series, and Michael Bay has lost his passion for the production of this film series.

The failure of the development of the "Super Battleship" movie and the tepid commercial performance of "Special Forces 2" have made the creation and construction of this Hasbro movie universe even worse and more difficult.

In the end, Hasbro and Paramount decided to temporarily terminate and abandon the idea of ​​the movie universe... Hasbro's movie universe eventually turned into nothing.

After the film universe project created by integrating numerous toy series has become dead, Hasbro and Paramount's cooperation has gone through many twists and turns and finally has a new development direction - to continue to operate the powerful box office harvester of the "Transformers" series.

Although Michael Bay, the creator of this money tree, made it clear that after the third Transformers ended, he would no longer participate in the future production of this movie series.

Of course, as time goes by, with the temptation of increasingly generous pay and more abundant shooting funds, Michael Bay finally picked up the guide again.

Under the influence of the strong injection of emerging domestic capital, "Transformers 4" has a stronger Chinese flavor in locations and actor selection, and even in advertising injection than the previous movies.

This makes "Transformers 4" even more perfunctory in the story, it can still achieve unprecedented commercial success in the largest overseas ticket store in China.

The box office sluggishness of Transformers 4 in North America already indicates that the film series is heading towards a downhill, but the great success of the film overseas, that is, domestic, has made the producers confident in producing Transformers 5.

In the end, the iceberg collapse was fully reflected in Transformers 5.

The plot story that is worse than "Transformers 4" and the usual special effects scenes have made "Transformers 5" reviews continuously in a small-scale trial stage. The tragic situation at the time of official release has simply made the producers cry without tears.

Such a film makes people wonder if Michael Bay deliberately made it like this to get rid of this ever-continuous film series.

The end result is that the huge failure of Transformers 5 forced Paramount to terminate the production of Transformers 6 and began to discuss the possibility of a movie restart.

Michael Bay also got rid of the entanglement of the "Transformers" series directors' "Has a Glance" career.

After the failure of "Transformers 5", Paramount learned from his mistakes and finally re-established the soft restart of the original Transformers series. Under this major policy, Paramount quickly confirmed the new Transformers movie project "Bumblebee".

"The Hornet", directed by Nike Brother Travis Knight, tends to be more neutral in terms of film style than Michael Bay's "Transformers" series, and the image and shape of the film characters is more faithful to the original animation series than the original broken mechanical beauty. These two points in a single film can attract more audiences for "The Hornet".

The first shot of Bumblebee provides an opportunity for the Hasbro Movie Universe program to restart again.

According to internal news from Paramount, Paramount will gradually bring Hasbro's many well-known toy series, including MSI Superman, Magic Knight, Masked Fighter, and Universe Knight ROM, to the big screen, and deeply link with the existing "Transformers" series of movies and "Special Forces" series of movies to effectively integrate them into a cinematic universe.
