Transformers Movies and Cartoons on Free-TV

[griffin]

Looks like they only skipped the second movie, as tonight they have the fourth movie (Age of Extinction) on channel 9go, which continues their Sunday night Transformers movies.
My guess is that they will play the fifth movie next Sunday, and then do the repeat screening of Bumblebee the following Sunday, as they often replay most of their bigger free-to-air movies within a couple weeks.

I wonder what is wrong with Revenge of the Fallen, as channel 9go is playing the Transformers movies again, and they skipped the second one... again.
Each movie is good and bad to different people, and the second one was one of the more profitable/successful ones by Michael Bay, so it is strange that Channel 9 don't want to play it any more (or aren't allowed to?).

Drug use, sexual references and bad language.... what's the timeslot they are showing the movies in?

DOTM is on at 7.30 on saturday, but I don't remember if they were all being played from 7.30... but I think I remember having some bits cut on the ones that did start that early.
It's hard for me to think, but was ROTF any more "adult" with its content than the others? I can think of some unnecessary cringe-worthy elements on each of them.

Come to think of it, I think DOTM would be worse for actually showing humans being shot and blown up (vapourised)... which would be more gruesome for the 7.30 timeslot than any robot deaths (no matter how graphic it is with gore and fluids making them look more organic than humans).

ROTF had drug and sexual references. Because of course it does, that's absolutely what fans want to see in a Transformers movie.
Yep. Come for the robots, stay for the close-up shot of John Turturro's backside. I wouldn't mind seeing a TF movie set outside of Earth without any human characters TBH. That Cybertron battle scene in Bumblebee remains one of my favourite TF fight scenes in any TF movie.

The first three had sexual references (Sam's Happy time, and in DOTM his parents talking about how well endowed he must be to land another hottie), so if it is because of content that prevents ROTF from being shown, it must be the drug references... but it seems a rather minor thing considering all of the violence.

The Bumblebee Movie is on tomorrow night (Sunday) on channel 9go at 7.30.
The first I saw an advertisement for it was tonight during the Hobbit movie... so they don't seem to do much advance warning these days with their movies.
