Can't wait to recollect all the audio logs again in both: war of & fall of cybertron again Because those were great games, and i will 100% them this time (Since i only roughly 80% them last time om my dead ps3)
This is sadly something I wished the movies would show more of.The horrors and sadness of the cybertronian war and the toll it has taken on all of the autobots.
It needs to be known not all autobots are good, only optimus and few are good. It's a civil war not good vs bad , only good vs bad is prime vs megatron
@@meteorknight999 if Prime disappears, it will be a Massacre. However if Megatron disappears, Autobots would win and forgive the prisoners since the commander here is Optimus not Sentinel.
These audio logs are proof of what the transformers franchise could be as a whole, a play on the true horrors of war, interpreted through living machines but that can think and feel like we do. This is a part of the transformers story that I feel isn’t touched on enough, the fact that there are cybertronians outside of the main cast of known characters who are just trying to survive this horrific eons long war
We could focus on a far flung part of the war where both sides have long since realized the whole thing is crazy, the war fever has long since burned out, and they’re both just trying to survive. They fake their reports to higher command, telling of battles that never happened, and they basically just spend their stellar cycles on day to day matters of getting enough energon.
That type of stuff is explored in the Transformers IDW comics, but it would be great to see more in live action or any form of animated movies or shows. But I feel it’s super deep and much darker than the children targeted media work they want to focus on
@@HCWz_CriticalHit It’s a bit silly that they’re always yapping about the children when Transformers fans literally began as 80s kids and are all probably over 50 now.
This truly does capture the tragic theme of Cybertron's fall from the Autobots perspective. I can't wait to see the Decepticons perspective in the final days of Cybertron!
These just make me wonder what more High Moon could've done with the franchise if they weren't shut down. This is definitely the most realistic incarnation of Transformers to-date.
Those last lines from Optimus.....sums it up from his POV. I love OP. Hes right, him not seeing what really was in front of him cost thousands of lives....in the game this is brought to the climax when OP is gonna let Megatron shoot him....and ONLY until bumblebee gets shot....he says he now realizes WHO and WHAT Megatron is. OP is beloved by all, but when you think of it...he really was foolish and really took it to Megatron until it was too late. It made for exponential character growth though
It’s even worse because to normal people like us and even other cyvertronians, nobody would understand how Optimus wouldn’t hate megatron after all this. But like he said, they were brothers. After metroplex kills megatron, Optimus doesn’t take his body, he lets the decpeitcons mourn his body. His own empathy was sadly the biggest downfall
@@BeeTheTravler so true. OP should have obliterated soundwave, starscream and the deceps right then and there to finish it....foolish to think the Deceps would somehow make a cease fire that would last. The empathy was his downfall yes and also the downfall of his troops...which got them further slaughtered and taken off the planet
@@CTKid203 yeah, but ironically his optimism was a double edged sword cause he believed in his brother, that he would see the error of his way and realize that he's wrong and that there are other PEACEFUL ways to change/end things, cause I can, no matter how much we see and shown the proof i know there good in my brother no matter how much he's hurt's and lie to me i know my brother is good but even still all it takes is one act for someone to realize that your brother is gone or that he was never there to being with
@@Afanof1considering the aligned continuity canon It’s interesting considering how Megatron just kinda left at the end of the transformers prime beast hunters movie.
Not gonna lie it sounds like a really depressing story that is very inspiring and it sounds like that’s the kind of messages we would hear from our world in case our world will come to an end when the end comes
I believe the main reason why the Transformers fell in love with Earth and it’s people as their own, was because Earth is everything Cybertron was before the war. Like the old saying goes, “you never know what you have until it’s gone.”
They may not be made of metal and sparks, but the iron flows through their veins all the same. And though they were not born with the spark, nor energon.. they still construct monoliths that could have put the colonies from cybertron to shame.
@@krel7160: After seeing Transformers: ONE, it would seem that the Transformers, never really got the chance to build an actual Stable Civilization. After Sentinel’s death, one would believe they’re finally be PEACE, but instead it created a Domino Effect that would lead to a WAR of Apocalyptic Proportions. The Autobots had to first deal with the Quintessons, only to come back to deal with The Decepticons, that lead to Cybertron to essentially REBOOT itself, in a process that would take a millennial, forcing the remaining survivors to leave the planet. I guess Humanity gave the Transformers, an ideal to really strive for.
This was brought me to tears. I played this game when it came out in 2012. I looked forward to the whole thing since Fall 2011 when I was in 8th grade. This was the greatest piece of Transformers ever made. Thank you for this. PS that second one was actually Grimlock pre Dino form.
As unintentional the aligned continuity was, its so cool seeing the depressing days of cybertron go to the happy days seen in RBA and RID (even if both shows aren’t exactly good)
@@fegreninja7197 I’ll be so real, RID is a million times better than RBA, RBA is frustrating because of its lack of maturity, I think RID writers definitely tried to tie the lore together while also delivering a kids show, RBA didn’t, they did whatever with that one
@@thabsoffical.-8742 I respect your opinion, but personally I find RID to be really immature, save a few glimmers of actual interesting ideas and characters that never fully get explored. RID also fumbles some of its legacy characters, like how Optimus needs “training” when he’s arguably the most venerated and experienced prime when it comes to combat. Or when Bumblebee acts so possessive of his team, unable to work with Optimus. Or how Megatronus came out of nowhere even though he exiled himself out of shame of what he’d done. Or how the members of Team Bee barely change: they go through an arc in one episode only to regress as characters in the next. I may be holding RID to a higher standard, but that’s because it’s more directly tied to TFP, and so you have to be careful to respect what came before it while also doing something new. RBA academy is a children’s show, like, a children children’s show, but it’s still got some solid episodes and respects its legacy characters. The episode regarding Wedge’s origin as a decepticon is an interesting concept, considering how he was born after the war and thus views once being a decepticon as more of an identity and less of a political faction. I still don’t like Optimus’ design though, I think we can both agree that’s nightmare fuel lol
@@fegreninja7197 I believe you did make a mistake on one part. Megatronus Prime is the Fallen. He killed Solus Prime and caused the Thirteen Primes to fight. Megatronus Prime was imprisoned, not self-exiled. And while the Covenant of Primus does state he confessed and self-exiled himself, the RID 2015 show also does have the imprisoned. It was Megatron (the gladiator, not Megatronus Prime) who did the self-exile after disbanding the Decepticons in the Predacons Rising film. Respect to RID 2015 for at least keeping that part consistent. Even respect for how they handled Soundwave.
1:35 I could've sworn that audio log was Grimlock pre Dinobot form, the whole tail phrasing and aggressive demeanor would suggest that was the implication.
They could do three different sets for the Anthology when is the POV of the Autobots another one is the the Decepticons and the third can be the unaligned faction or the people that just don't even know what they're fighting for and just gave up
I do not know why but i imagine this as like a VHS series like a person who lives in a world where Transformers secretly live in the shadows. Stumbling across these audio logs after learning the history of these space robots. The depressing truth reality the Autobots had to face even so they keep themselves happy.
This is pretty great, I love how all the audio logs are arranged to start with how the war was initially but then seeing the Bots falling more towards despair as the planet’s dying and there would be energy running out for everyone, even the Cons. Also speaking of, y’all plan to do one of the Decepticons?
"In the fog of war it's hard to see beyond the next leg of the mission, or the next punch in the fight. We did everything to save Cybertron, but when to fog finally lifted, there wasn't much left to save." - Arcee TFP
it'd be pretty cool if we got a game based on the evacuation, where we play as an autobot soldier or a group of them, just trying to get to the ark through war-torn cybertron, and we could make and customize our own autobot, i dunno it's probably a bad idea
I think it would work perfectly! Plus you also then realize the worse tragedy when you see the front lines... not everyone could be saved, there HAD to be a frontline army to hold off the massive decepticon one. Since if they DID try to get every single autobot off the planet, the decepticons likely would've poured every bullet and energy beam on the ship and it would never leave the atmosphere in time, let alone get to the space portal.
Considering this is set in the Aligned Continuity, imagine Raf, Whirl, or even the OG Rescue Bots hearing these logs and getting a more personal look at how gruesome the war really was on Cybertron RID 2015 was trash, but it must be even worse for Sideswipe hearing his namesake talk about the Ark and wondering if he ever made it
I like to think that, but that's just me being optimistic...but realistically he probably offline with his brother if he had one at all...but I like to think he probably with his brother chilling on velocitron racing and getting all the polish and getting rejected by any bots that comes their way...happy to know that the war finally and annoying the heck out of each other until there final days
High Moon Games ARE NOT part of the Aligned Community Starscream's betrayal, causing MANY Decepticons to be killed AND using SO MUCH of the Decepticon's SCARCE ENERGON is not in the Aligned Community!!!
God, imagine the newer generations of autobots like sideswipe, strong arm and the rescue bot cadets, or even the human allies hearing these and realizing just how brutal the war was.
So the fall of the planet was the decepticon's fault right? Even when the autobots were trying to leave, megatron was basically attempting a suicide pact.
In a general sense, yes. But, personally, the real lesson behind Cybertron is that we shouldn't be too comfortable with a system that kills like a cancer. The Decepticons, at the end of the day, was a manifestation of a body that's realised too late that it's sick and has chosen to react in the most violent possible manner to regain control and steer course. Prime and Megs were two sides of the same coin. Should the Autobots have their way, they'd probably take eons to reform the system, and even then there'd be fringe groups that are just too 'sick' and hurt from long injustice to ever be recoverable.
Yes. Megatron pois0ned Cybertron's Core with Dark Energon. The core is what produces Energon for every living being on Cybertron. It's their power source. After the core was pois0ned, it had to shut down. Cybertron spoke to Optimus before it shutdown everything. Cybertron said it would be millions of years before it could purge the poison and restart the core. The planet would become barren and lifeless during this time. Cybertron told Optimus to take the Autobots and leave the planet.
@@TheBigExclusivedude no, cybertron was shutting down without megatron doing anything, megatron tried to stop the shut down of core by using dark energon but that didn't work the core was shutting down anyway. The war destroyed cybertron
The thing is that if the high nobility just had accepted Megatrons demands, then the war wouldn't have happened. He only wanted the lower class to be treated as fellow Cybetronians and not as slaves which was forced to die in mass to produce the goods for the middle class and high class. Megatron tried for a long time to get the council to give in without fighting but the breaking point was when Optimus basically stabbed him in the back by accepting the praise and rewards for Megatrons work. That also showed that the nobility wouldn't agree to lose power so the only way forward was either continue as slaves to die in mass or use force to free themselves from the tyranny of the nobles. It was during the war that Megatron and the Decepticon cause went astray, but I support the reason Megatron started the war, fighting for freedom against the people that oppress them is a good thing.
They need to go the division route with transformers. You make your own Autobot or decepticon and fight the war till the end until you board the ark and leave cybertron.
1:37 this is grimlocks voice actor, so I’m not sure if it’s him or another soldier. Without the effect it really sounds nothing like him, but grimlock was supposed to not have speech problems pre shockwave. Even the turn tail joke. My own head canon is that in this game, cybertronies are limited to a few voice boxes (megatron metroplex and racket sharing one voice, shockwave swindle and star scream, and at one point cliff jumper in the DSi game)
Really depressing really captures the fact that autobots are actually the good guys in this war and how the decepticons did some really horrible things during this was and megatron won’t stop killing he wants the autobots to die that’s the only peace he wants death to the autobots The horror in all of the autobots voices when they talk about the enemies or when they are about to die is actually scary
Decpticons went through same horrible things, just cause autobots are depressed didn't mean decepticons aren't they infact went through horrible things since birth so longer than bots. Grimlock which belongs in autobot war faction were up for war same as decepticon war faction. Megatron was in war with autobots what are you expecting ? Him being nice to enemies ?
Ratchet talking about recording about the decline of cybertron and how the war started for future generations is smart because "those how fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat if".
I remember in Fall theres a moment where we see the Autobot's who are too weak to fight are placed into stasis rather than them coming on board the Ark. Imagine going to sleep knowing you might not wake up again and if you do it will be thousand of years later and Megatron and the Decepticons may rule Cybertron.
This is what the bayformers and other movies failed to realize that the transformers are a race of people as well and while it may be different they came from a world ravaged by civil war with so many innocent lives lost and civilians forced to fight just to survive. Each cybertronian has their own story, their own reasons to fight, their own hopes and dreams.
Optimus always said there was hope of winning the war but the war had been up for so long, it alwo continued in other continuities, some of them ended peacefully but at the cost of so many lives, and before the autobots started the war they knew the risks, they knew some of they're lives would be lost but they think it was worth fighting for but to think about death all the time, hearing last masseges from the wounded who would get killed, losing friends, it eas hard for them to focus especially optimus, he knew it was his fault because the war was a brutal era that had nothing to do but fighting and terminating at the cost of millons of his fellow autobots. I bet it was a really horrible experience for the soldiers because everyday some of them would think it would be their last day or something can easily go wrong. It was very depressing.
Optimus problem is that he wants to see a better way....until its too late and the realization hits him that the Decepticons wont stop and that you have to exterminate them. Optimus mistake is not taking out Megatron and his Top guns when he had chances to do so.
@@CTKid203optimus isn't some god to take out megatron In fact optimus is weaker than megatron by lore, he isn't mary Sue, he is powerful but not enough to bury top decepticons
Man, actually hearing them hits somewhere deep in your heart. Its a different kind of sorrow to anything else you experience and is just so real and sentimental despite being fictional
You’re wrong prime. Megatron did care about his fellow cybertronians but power corrupts. He cared too much about his ideal world and it led him to drive cybertron into a… desolate and silent wasteland. Megatron wanted all cybertronians to be able to choose their destiny rather than be trapped by how they were born. But after the primes rejected him he lost sight of it all. He was your best friend Optimus. He just got lost along the way.
Yep but megatron didn't drive cybertron to desolate the never-ending war did, autobots their predecessors the council which megatron fought had war faction that never wanted to stop war
its almost uncanny how i can just see these recordings being viewed billions of years later once everything is really over. Maybe by a new generation, maybe by a different species. maybe they'll be as forgotten as the ancients cliffjumper discovered in the sea of rust. Off putting stuff.
I always like to think that the unnamed autobots are characters we haven’t seen yet like the new recruit audio tape is voiced by Kup and the invisible scout one is voiced by Mirage
Having played the games then hearing sideswipe mention the energon levels for the ark aren't enough to escape Cybertron added an extra layer of heart break to the story
If there's one thing I love about Optimus Prime, it's that his compassion for the living and the desire to end the war is second to none. He's always willing to give the enemy a second chance. Willing to offer a hand of peace to those who desire it. And mourns those who either die or turn traitor. Never to allow anger or arrogance to drive him. But even he has limits. Everyone does. Whoever crosses that line and pushes him past the edge, may mercy befall them, because Optimus Prime has none left.
WFC and FOC are truly legendary games that will never be forgotten.. Also Fire Brothers this question might be a little bit late. But what happened to Warpath after FOC? We did not see Warpath after Prime and him disabled the bomb. Did he survive? Did he die? Please explain, I’m still wondering of that question. 🙃
It's sad to think that Optimus probably blames himself for the war going as bad as it did, especially with him not anticipating what his brother, Megatron, truly was capable off...
But after all this time it only hit him whenthey were decimated to almost extinction.....Optimus was extremely naive. after the first 1,000 years of the war (said to be millions of years of fighting) he HAD TO know that Megatron was as ruthless as he was. With the High Council hiding and Megatron ravaging everything....Optimus HAD TO see it and take it for what it was...sadly he did not until the end
@@CTKid203you just sound like person spreading council lies, Optimus always wanted to end megatron, but he couldn't cause henwas weaker and megatron survived. Also megatron wasnt at fault but it was council which you like weird enough. They are evil than megatron lol
this is why i wished we got to play as the drones of both sides just to see how it truly was, where you didn't have plot armor and what happened happened
(03.) remembering just a Bit of (at least in those main's, like optimus's especially, POV anyways. though, by then, they were already in their autobot ark ship. and passed their FTL portal method. etc. but those behind them? those still back on cybertron's surface? like metroplex, and such. Hrm, I don't know....) 'final Days of the autobot-decepticon war on cybertron' story.... 'the World will End, not with a 'Bang', but a Whimper.' (- this line was for us instead, and not those like the cybertronians and planet cybertron. but a fitting one for them too it seems?).
*At a glance:* “Hah! It’s nothing but an over glorified toy commercial campaign with funny robots with quirky personalities!” *After learning the lore:* “Mother of Mercy the horror…”
This is one of the best interpretation of modern transformers in my opinion. Depicting a great civilization collasp under unending conflict. And the rainbow of causes that led up to it both good and bad. Shame it ended the way it did
“There has to be something, other Autobots out there that can help?” “… There were other Autobots onboard the ark when it left…” “Well… where are they?” “Lost to the stars kid…”
Some of the things the autobots said makes sence after being at war for millions of years it can be hard to think of peace or the autobots might have seen leaving cybertron there home as igmiting defeat
This depressing😢,specialy in the end optimus felling that is his fault,but it isnt,because friends today is your enemies tomorow,not only this,in our sad reality wars has no result only desasters and carnages,but unlike optimus and megatron who fight in battlefield,our fat presidents stay barricaded in their homes and do nothing but only sent their army doing crime wars

RID 2015 was trash, but it must be even worse for Sideswipe hearing his namesake talk about the Ark and wondering if he ever made it
I like to think he did...but that just me being optimistic and knowing how many bots are offline it wouldn't surprise me
I like to think that, but that's just me being optimistic...but realistically he probably offline with his brother if he had one at all...but I like to think he probably with his brother chilling on velocitron racing and getting all the polish and getting rejected by any bots that comes their way...happy to know that the war finally and annoying the heck out of each other until there final days
High Moon Games ARE NOT part of the Aligned Community
Starscream's betrayal, causing MANY Decepticons to be killed AND using SO MUCH of the Decepticon's SCARCE ENERGON is not in the Aligned Community!!!
@@christiandauz3742They are supposed to be, look at Cliff.
@@chimeraofscarlet8610
Where are the Dinobots in Prime? Same with the Constructicons? (mentioned in FOC)
Jazz? Barricade? The Aerialbots?
i hope reactivate have this logs like human decepticons of autobots
Yeah more audio logs that explores the war from various perspectives would be great!
God, imagine the newer generations of autobots like sideswipe, strong arm and the rescue bot cadets, or even the human allies hearing these and realizing just how brutal the war was.
I would watch a full movie of the auto bots and cons fighting on Cybertron
I’d say an anthology series based on these audio logs
They are next year
The 2nd recording was Grimlock's thoughts on the evacuation.
Aligned Continuity is peak Transformers
I agree. Till all are one
@@Act0FWisdom-1 Till all are one
Till all are one
Till all are one

Now for the decepticon version about how they felt they were lower class n stuff.
So the fall of the planet was the decepticon's fault right? Even when the autobots were trying to leave, megatron was basically attempting a suicide pact.
Effectively, in the Aligned continuity that little Dark Energon stunt basically accelerated the planet’s end.
In a general sense, yes. But, personally, the real lesson behind Cybertron is that we shouldn't be too comfortable with a system that kills like a cancer.
The Decepticons, at the end of the day, was a manifestation of a body that's realised too late that it's sick and has chosen to react in the most violent possible manner to regain control and steer course.
Prime and Megs were two sides of the same coin. Should the Autobots have their way, they'd probably take eons to reform the system, and even then there'd be fringe groups that are just too 'sick' and hurt from long injustice to ever be recoverable.
Yes. Megatron pois0ned Cybertron's Core with Dark Energon. The core is what produces Energon for every living being on Cybertron. It's their power source. After the core was pois0ned, it had to shut down.
Cybertron spoke to Optimus before it shutdown everything. Cybertron said it would be millions of years before it could purge the poison and restart the core. The planet would become barren and lifeless during this time.
Cybertron told Optimus to take the Autobots and leave the planet.
@@TheBigExclusivedude no, cybertron was shutting down without megatron doing anything, megatron tried to stop the shut down of core by using dark energon but that didn't work the core was shutting down anyway. The war destroyed cybertron
Megatron’s ego couldn’t handle bots ignoring him and in the temper tantrum to end all temper tantrums almost doomed his entire race
The thing is that if the high nobility just had accepted Megatrons demands, then the war wouldn't have happened. He only wanted the lower class to be treated as fellow Cybetronians and not as slaves which was forced to die in mass to produce the goods for the middle class and high class. Megatron tried for a long time to get the council to give in without fighting but the breaking point was when Optimus basically stabbed him in the back by accepting the praise and rewards for Megatrons work. That also showed that the nobility wouldn't agree to lose power so the only way forward was either continue as slaves to die in mass or use force to free themselves from the tyranny of the nobles.
It was during the war that Megatron and the Decepticon cause went astray, but I support the reason Megatron started the war, fighting for freedom against the people that oppress them is a good thing.
Yea exactly this, also some decpticons were pets before megatron freed them
Theres reason half of cybertron answered call of megatron to fight
my brother couldn't be here today cause hes recording an audio log for the future
They need to go the division route with transformers. You make your own Autobot or decepticon and fight the war till the end until you board the ark and leave cybertron.
Can you do the decepticon Audio logs too?
1:37 this is grimlocks voice actor, so I’m not sure if it’s him or another soldier. Without the effect it really sounds nothing like him, but grimlock was supposed to not have speech problems pre shockwave. Even the turn tail joke. My own head canon is that in this game, cybertronies are limited to a few voice boxes (megatron metroplex and racket sharing one voice, shockwave swindle and star scream, and at one point cliff jumper in the DSi game)
This is why I like these games they dont fear to make harsh and depresing game THIS MADE ME WANT A SEQUELLL
Unfortunately, we did get a sequel. And it was called Rise of the Dark Spark.
@@ZackarySchejbalCODBO2RGM2 yeah but not what we wanted cause it just a force story for the Micheal Bay movies
The tragic war ravaged Cybertron like a nightmare for the Autobots
1:35 That log was not from a regular soldier, that was Grimlock's log
Wait really? He’s so well spoken
@@theticklingpicklethe log is before shockwave experiments on grimlock
I don’t even have a joke for this video this is how depressing it is
This is what war does to people
Watching this just makes me wish we got more characters/designs in these games.
Really depressing really captures the fact that autobots are actually the good guys in this war and how the decepticons did some really horrible things during this was and megatron won’t stop killing he wants the autobots to die that’s the only peace he wants death to the autobots
The horror in all of the autobots voices when they talk about the enemies or when they are about to die is actually scary
Decpticons went through same horrible things, just cause autobots are depressed didn't mean decepticons aren't they infact went through horrible things since birth so longer than bots. Grimlock which belongs in autobot war faction were up for war same as decepticon war faction.
Megatron was in war with autobots what are you expecting ? Him being nice to enemies ?
Ratchet talking about recording about the decline of cybertron and how the war started for future generations is smart because "those how fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat if".
I remember in Fall theres a moment where we see the Autobot's who are too weak to fight are placed into stasis rather than them coming on board the Ark. Imagine going to sleep knowing you might not wake up again and if you do it will be thousand of years later and Megatron and the Decepticons may rule Cybertron.
This is what the bayformers and other movies failed to realize that the transformers are a race of people as well and while it may be different they came from a world ravaged by civil war with so many innocent lives lost and civilians forced to fight just to survive. Each cybertronian has their own story, their own reasons to fight, their own hopes and dreams.
Optimus always said there was hope of winning the war but the war had been up for so long, it alwo continued in other continuities, some of them ended peacefully but at the cost of so many lives, and before the autobots started the war they knew the risks, they knew some of they're lives would be lost but they think it was worth fighting for but to think about death all the time, hearing last masseges from the wounded who would get killed, losing friends, it eas hard for them to focus especially optimus, he knew it was his fault because the war was a brutal era that had nothing to do but fighting and terminating at the cost of millons of his fellow autobots. I bet it was a really horrible experience for the soldiers because everyday some of them would think it would be their last day or something can easily go wrong. It was very depressing.
Optimus problem is that he wants to see a better way....until its too late and the realization hits him that the Decepticons wont stop and that you have to exterminate them. Optimus mistake is not taking out Megatron and his Top guns when he had chances to do so.
@@CTKid203optimus isn't some god to take out megatron
In fact optimus is weaker than megatron by lore, he isn't mary Sue, he is powerful but not enough to bury top decepticons
Man, actually hearing them hits somewhere deep in your heart. Its a different kind of sorrow to anything else you experience and is just so real and sentimental despite being fictional
I believe the autobot soldier that has doubts about Optimus's evacuation is meant to be Grimlock, especially with that turn tail metaphor
You’re wrong prime. Megatron did care about his fellow cybertronians but power corrupts. He cared too much about his ideal world and it led him to drive cybertron into a… desolate and silent wasteland. Megatron wanted all cybertronians to be able to choose their destiny rather than be trapped by how they were born. But after the primes rejected him he lost sight of it all. He was your best friend Optimus. He just got lost along the way.
Yep but megatron didn't drive cybertron to desolate the never-ending war did, autobots their predecessors the council which megatron fought had war faction that never wanted to stop war
its almost uncanny how i can just see these recordings being viewed billions of years later once everything is really over. Maybe by a new generation, maybe by a different species. maybe they'll be as forgotten as the ancients cliffjumper discovered in the sea of rust. Off putting stuff.
Hopefully they’ll heed ratchets message
I always like to think that the unnamed autobots are characters we haven’t seen yet like the new recruit audio tape is voiced by Kup and the invisible scout one is voiced by Mirage
I’m so happy we get a reboot
Having played the games then hearing sideswipe mention the energon levels for the ark aren't enough to escape Cybertron added an extra layer of heart break to the story
Imagine this is what the kids listen in Rescue Bots Academy
Man I Love War and Fall of Cybertron Games ❤
If there's one thing I love about Optimus Prime, it's that his compassion for the living and the desire to end the war is second to none.
He's always willing to give the enemy a second chance. Willing to offer a hand of peace to those who desire it. And mourns those who either die or turn traitor. Never to allow anger or arrogance to drive him.
But even he has limits. Everyone does.
Whoever crosses that line and pushes him past the edge, may mercy befall them, because Optimus Prime has none left.
Pray we never experience a war on this scale
Transformers Prime AND even Bay-Formers, deserved prequel movies/Live Action Tv series.
man if only we got more cybertron games they were really good. they were like the halo reach of transformers
It's the beginning of a whole new era.
Just hearing these audio logs is so heartwrenching.
That high moon studios theme music comes on and its just chills… I cannot wait for the games ro return
My brother couldn’t be here because he forgot to be born
WFC and FOC are truly legendary games that will never be forgotten.. Also Fire Brothers this question might be a little bit late. But what happened to Warpath after FOC? We did not see Warpath after Prime and him disabled the bomb. Did he survive? Did he die? Please explain, I’m still wondering of that question. 🙃
I really hope transformers one is like this
It's sad to think that Optimus probably blames himself for the war going as bad as it did, especially with him not anticipating what his brother, Megatron, truly was capable off...
But after all this time it only hit him whenthey were decimated to almost extinction.....Optimus was extremely naive. after the first 1,000 years of the war (said to be millions of years of fighting) he HAD TO know that Megatron was as ruthless as he was. With the High Council hiding and Megatron ravaging everything....Optimus HAD TO see it and take it for what it was...sadly he did not until the end
@@CTKid203you just sound like person spreading council lies, Optimus always wanted to end megatron, but he couldn't cause henwas weaker and megatron survived. Also megatron wasnt at fault but it was council which you like weird enough. They are evil than megatron lol
this is why i wished we got to play as the drones of both sides just to see how it truly was, where you didn't have plot armor and what happened happened
All become none. Theres a audio file in the game with Ratchet stating such.
They had no concept of how to create new transformers without Cybertron.
Till All Are One.
1:34 might be grimlock
(03.) remembering just a Bit of (at least in those main's, like optimus's especially, POV anyways. though, by then, they were already in their autobot ark ship. and passed their FTL portal method. etc. but those behind them? those still back on cybertron's surface? like metroplex, and such. Hrm, I don't know....) 'final Days of the autobot-decepticon war on cybertron' story....
'the World will End, not with a 'Bang', but a Whimper.' (- this line was for us instead, and not those like the cybertronians and planet cybertron. but a fitting one for them too it seems?).
*At a glance:* “Hah! It’s nothing but an over glorified toy commercial campaign with funny robots with quirky personalities!”
*After learning the lore:* “Mother of Mercy the horror…”
This is one of the best interpretation of modern transformers in my opinion.
Depicting a great civilization collasp under unending conflict. And the rainbow of causes that led up to it both good and bad.
Shame it ended the way it did
The fact that they lasted eons against the decepticons is amazing and they should be glad
After watching Transformers One and seeing Cybertron full of life, listening to this is so sad and painful.
Hay Fire can you make a video about every decepticon leader through out of the transformers franchise please 🥺
Eventually but its not a priority right now.
Ok good I'm at least glad that you FINALLY see me and gave you an idea because I've been trying to convince you to make the video that I've thought of
4:00 this guy is how I got my tag :D
It was always my headcanon that, that second audio log, about turning tail to crush a wave of cons, was one of the Dinobots, if not Grimlock himself
“There has to be something, other Autobots out there that can help?”
“… There were other Autobots onboard the ark when it left…”
“Well… where are they?”
“Lost to the stars kid…”
Thankyou for this the audio logs are very intresting to see how the other soldiers feel about the war
Beautifully sad, perfectly captures the struggle of the average autobot.
They always bounce back in the end though
With the new transformers One film out, I really hope we get to lean more into this grittier side of the transformers universe.
They fight each other and they have lost their home half their people it all fell to the moment where a certain gladiator rises up
1:33 That's pre-mind break Grimlock talking actually
I hope reactive have something like this
Yes the Autobots fought hard. Autobot Victory will come. We mustn't give up
1:35 This was Grimlock
Amazing video
The Transformers of these games needs to come back.
And people say Bay's interpretation of Prime is too violent, man if I experienced this I'd lose my shit the same way he did
Maybe you should do a Decepticon version too
1:34 thats actually grimlock before he was captured
Some of the things the autobots said makes sence after being at war for millions of years it can be hard to think of peace or the autobots might have seen leaving cybertron there home as igmiting defeat
This depressing😢,specialy in the end optimus felling that is his fault,but it isnt,because friends today is your enemies tomorow,not only this,in our sad reality wars has no result only desasters and carnages,but unlike optimus and megatron who fight in battlefield,our fat presidents stay barricaded in their homes and do nothing but only sent their army doing crime wars
The planet fall before Autobots did!
I forget how dark the story really is with Transformers.
Till all are one!
