General
- Designated Hero: How the fans (mainly in America) view this iteration of Optimus Prime over time and ever since the release of Bumblebee: Though he had his own heroic moments, Many considered the character as a far-cry of the original Generation 1 namesake, as he's commonly viewed as a less-than-approachable major jerkass and an amoral anti-hero with very little personality, combined with his lack of sympathy to his Decepticon victims, and his willingness to abandon his home planet. His actions in Age of Extinction may have finally crossed the line as he killed one human (regardless if he's evil or not) in point-blank range.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In sharp contrast to how the country of origin views the films, the film franchise is surprisingly popular outside the US such as Malaysia.
- Fanon Discontinuity: Either ROTF to TLK never happened, or AOE to TLK is non-existent if one sees DOTM as the franchise's finale.
- No Problem With Licensed Games/The Problem with Licensed Games: The tie-in games zig-zag between these tropes, and in some cases subvert the two.
- In the former′s case, there′s the Nintendo DS versions of Transformers: The Game and Revenge of the Fallen, along with the Sega Light Gun Games Human Alliance and Shadows Rising.
- As for the latter, there's Rise of the Dark Spark, not to mention the PSP version of Transformers: The Game and Dark of the Moon: Stealth Force Edition for the Wii and the 3DS.
- Subversive examples would include the console games for the first film, Revenge of the Fallen, and Dark of the Moon, the latter of which is considered to be a step down from the developers' previous and later Transformers games, War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron, respectively.
The 2007 Movie
- Memetic Loser:
- Let's just say that Jazz's reputation is torn in half.
- The film series' version of Megatron became a punching bag for many fans who consider him hideous and take note of his degraded role as a villain in the two sequels. A lot of fan art has been made depicting him getting beat up by other versions of Megatron (usually his Generation 1 counterpart) with comedic results.
