I have to kill you

Does anyone have an explanation for this "I have to kill you" text?
I tried to see if there was some sort of military slogan, but it doesn't look like it.

Moved to Movie Questions. In the future, please take a moment to place new threads in the correct forum. Thanks.

Also, what's this from?

Give us SOME context?

Sorry bout that.
It's a scene from the latest Transformers movie, where a military operation is controlled from this room.

Googling around a bit, it sounds like the meaning isn't really established or well-known, at least not from the movie itself.

Nah, I saw a couple people mentionening that they saw it, but that's it. There was no explanation apart from one guy saying that Michael Bay is planning on killing us all. I hope there is another reason though.

I love the idea that Bay is fully aware the stuff he is putting out is garbage and that's his easter eggs. I don't like his movies but i'm kind of a fan of him as a person coz it doesn't make sense to me that someone like him exists.

Ha! That would be so great if the only purpose of that was as a big middle finger to the haters (like me) in total self awareness.

Thanks @Camo for that reference. That tickled me.

Thanks for the follow-up. Much appreciated =)

I love something being called "a punishing, pummeling experience", if Bay has become sentient and is just having fun making crap then i'm so happy.

Apparently, another sign of Hellish People in films.

The idea that Bay knows what he's doing isn't new for the record. I love this - https://www.vox.com/2016/1/19/107774...defense-auteur

He has his supporters coz i mean if anyone is an auteur it's Michael Bay; his films are all the same, they are so easily identifiable as 'Michael Bay'. He is truly one of a kind for better or worse.

This is one finely aged, deep cut MoFo reference. Nicely done.

From what I can gather, the phrase is part of the "If I to tell you, I have to kill you".


Now, after a bit of searching, I found this screenshot from one of the other Transformers movies:



One of the British soldiers is wearing a patch, with that slogan.
This is the patch.



Now, after a little more searching, the slogan is something that is attached to a supposed organisation conspiracy theory thing called the NWO, aka; New World Order.
Part of said conspiracies is stuff like alien life being hidden by the government, the Illuminati etc etc... which basically play a big part in the Transformers movies.


Seems a little complex, but I reckon it's Bay's nod to all the conspiracies and tin-foil hats out there.

Great post Rodent. I can't believe this thread got an answer and it's somehow more hilarious than my idea.

I'm not a fan of Bay neither, but my wife loves the Transformer-series.
I don't think it's a response to the critique he's getting. Then it just seems like when Cartman responses to criticism by turning his back muttering "I'll kill you, Kyle. On of these days I'm gonna kill you."

On second thought........ look at the OP's image.


On the top left, is the first half of the slogan.


Yep, with that and the arm-patch in the other movies, I reckon I'm actually right lolololol!

Michael Bay = Illuminati


Probably a member of Anonymous too.

Explaining things with South Park is the easiest way into my heart.

Nice. I've never seen the slogan in the other movies, but I thought it could be something like that. The wall on the left has some text ending with "ll you", I just figured that "I have to kill you" was written on both walls. I never noticed the slogan in the other movies.
