I feel like the ROTF ending of the novel would be better because showing some scenes that never appeared in the movie would let us know what happened to our heroes, and what really happened to the soldiers that survived their helicopter crash, but I guess the film ending is ok, it just needed to show the scenes that appeared in the novel and not in the movie.

@@joec7217 I mean, if you actually check how much time passed between the Sun Harvester being activated and it's destruction, those were literally last seconds.
Definitely *_FAR_* better than the ending we actually got! If I were doing it, it’d probably go quite like this, but with some small changes - like no enemy scrotum, Jolt still being the one to power up Optimus after being given a bigger role and Devastator still fighting after losing his arm to the rail gun, only to get taken down by Optimus like the Driller. The fight then proceeds like normal, but with Optimus and the Fallen engaging in the air Dragon Ball Z style for a bit, Megatron learning that the Fallen’s promise to make him a Prime was false before losing half his face and his arm, the Fallen’s death staying like in the actual movie and Megatron looking empty at the Fallen’s death rather than horrified before leaving with Starscream. Optimus then removes Jetfire’s parts and finds the Matrix amongst the wreckage of the Harvester, placing it in his chest. From there, the film ends like normal until we get a mid-credits scene of Megatron and Starscream planning ahead with “Operation: Pillar” while the former sits on the Fallen’s throne - now his - and gathers what remains of his army, including Soundwave, Barricade and the awakening protoform army.
Its crazy how the novels based on ROTF and DOTM had better endings than the actual movies themselves. Not only are they more character accurate, but they do a better job giving fans a more satisfying conclusion rather than being rushed and confusing.
I think in ROTF, Jetfire had a lot of wasted potential, maybe with the new Bumblebee continuity we can see more autobots that were in gen 1 instead of the same cast over and over again.
"I knew there was greatness within you, Sam" just doesn't vibe as much as "Boi, you returned for me." Aside from that the latter just sounds so memeworthy, it also indicates that at the very least, Sam's got Optimus covered when things get tough.
while I like the Michael Bay transformers movies I think the biggest problem with the film's is a lack of narrative cohesion plotlines objects and characters are constantly forgotten throughout the entire series for example The Matrix of leadership and the all Spark are two of the most important religious artifacts but are ignored in aoe and tlk and characters like the twins and sideswipe are completely forgotten along with most of the named Decepticons at least even if the new movies don't do well they'll still be more consistent
@@anthonyortiz45narratively consistent Bumblebee and Rotb are in a new universe and have not contradicted each other meanwhile the Michael Bay movies contradict each other all the time for example the transformers were supposed to have been relatively new to Earth in the 2007 film but in rotf they had been on Earth since before the formation of Egypt and in tlk they've been on Earth longer than humanity there are also smaller inconsistencies like the color of energon
@@czkillzlo que mencionaste no son incosistencias y nunca se dijo que el primer conctato con con los transfomers en la tierra fue en 2007. Y las nuevas son muy incosistente
@@anthonyortiz45Megatron is supposed to be the first contact with the transformers in that movie and by relatively close to 2007 I mean within the last couple hundred years and since the transformers live for millions of years a few hundred years would basically be nothing and I haven't seen any way that the new movies contradict each other
@@czkillznunca dicen que fue el primer conctacto. En las peliculas nunca se no dicen cuanto vive un transformers por lo que tu argumento no tiene sentido. Pues si la tienes, que no sea capaz de ver es cosas tuya
it's funny because while most of this ending is more in line with the messages and themes behind Transformers as a franchise, the "primes are born, not made" bit is missing the point so hard it could have stayed in the final movie and not felt out of place
I personally believe that the fallen is the strongest of all of the BAYFORMER villains. He’s stronger than Lockdown, Sentinel Prime, and even strong than Shatter and maybe even Scourge for that matter. I mean the dude literally has the powers of the force and can only be killed by a Prime. No one else can stop him. It just turns out that the prime who did take him out had a crap ton of training during the time in between 07 and rotf.
Isn’t Sentinel not a Prime? I mean like bro would have probably killed Optimus if Megatron didn’t come and save Optimus, and then isn’t DOTM prime not more experienced than ROTF prime? Oh wait, I just wasted my time because I forgot prime got Jetfire’s parts which gave him a big power boost…
@@mortalvehicle6138 i do think the fallen was stronger than sentinel, both are primes but the fallen is literally the first decepticon ever and the only way the other primes could stop him was to hide and bury themselves with the thing, honestly the movie depiction doesn't give enough credit to how god damn strong this mf should have been
That moment when you realize that in the junior novel and storybooks Optimus is able to intercept, block and reflect a light speed attack capable of destroying stars and also teleport 💀 bro literally gets Dragon Ball zenkais
Honestly I think a combination of the endings would be cool. Instead of dying, Jetfire decides to merge with Optimus temporarily, with his body broken but his spark still alive, and that for Ratchet to repair him from RotF to DotM. I think I would love to see Optimus face Megatron and the Fallen longer but in a 3 way battle after Megatron finds out he can't become a Prime. I really like the parts where Ironhide and Sideswipe tried to fight, where Devastator tries to throw hands with Optimus, but I wish that Depth Charge was actually the ship as in the concept art and figure, explaining why they have weaponry that strong. I think maybe Optimus should've been the one to fatality wound the Fallen, but Megatron to finish him off and step into the portal. Then Megatron and Optimus fight, Megatron loses but due to Starscream interfering, they both hit the portal and dip. Optimus gets the Matrix, has a conversation with the Primes, see Ratchet and humans fixing, then Sam and Op, and then OP and Sam get to see the Primes together, then Optimus makes his speech. Post credit you see Megatron healing and Starscream asking what now, and Megatron shows Starscream the army, with Soundwave and Shockwave appearing, and telling him, there's always another plan, more than meets the eye. Then cut.
I remember having Rollbar, Depthcharge and Blazemaster but saw the vehicles they were based off of and was disappointed they never transformed when I was younger
@@kidkatanatv I still have them and they are dope! Depth charge was actually planned for being in the movie but due to Devastator and the time crunch, he didn't make it, he has concept art. In a similar case Broadside was concepted for Fall of Cybertron and in the art book you get to see his robot mode as where his alt mode was the energon carrier during when you played as Bruticus for the first time.
I wish the battle against Devastator from the Transformers RotF Wii/PS2 game was in the movie, Optimus fighting Devastator in the middle of the city is awesome and the soundtrack is pretty good, but it would probably blow up the special effects team's computers.
I do enjoy how the alternate endings definitely give better closure to some of the characters, and give the title characters some more much needed screen time. The one thing I kind of like they changed was megatron’s ending. I personally love just how prime obliterates him and seeing him in his camp in dotm is one of my favorite scenes
Rotf and Dotm were both robbed of good endings. However, in each ending the Fallen is depicted as weak and a coward. And barely puts up a fight, in the movie ending the Fallen fights Optimus and even gained the upper hand (for like 5 seconds) the perfect ending for the Fallen imo would be he's too strong for Optimus, even the other autobots help him but the Fallen fights all of them and even the military off. And another railgun is fired and hits the Fallen, stunning him long enough that they get the drop on him and prime finishes him off.
Honestly, I prefer the original ending because we get a lot more robot action, and it even fixes a lot of plot holes that were in the final cut of the movie.
Michael Bay: We were basically under time constraints for the ending, and if we weren’t in such a hurry we would’ve been able to make it more brutal- Optimus Prime, without time to be so brutal: G I V E M E Y O U R F A C E
As much as the Bay films were a giant missed opportunity, I'm glad your channel exists to explore 'what could have been' etc. Edit: I hate how much better these special effects look than the work done for Rise of the Beasts... I know it's a different company etc., but MAN this film still looks good.
I guess judging by the ending Megatron had on this version , it can be assumed that he would have had a different form in the 3rd movie judging the fact that he actually ended up in a strong position
20:01 Imagine being burned with a beam that has enough force to destroy the sun Also woah, that's so many ending one could make a "Transformers 2 - all endings" type of video
Theorymus Prime, I knew about this original ending even before you made this video, and I can safely say that it's way better than the one we got. My favorite variation of the original ending is definitely the one present in the novelization. One detail you glossed over, is that the ROTF junior novel, 'The Last Prime', 'I Am Optimus Prime' storybook and the ROTF Scholastic book, are targeted for children, so the changes were deliberate to tone down the film's violence for young readers. You also glossed over the ending present in the ROTF game for java mobile devices. In it, the final boss is Megatron and you fight him as Jet Power Optimus Prime. Upon defeating Megatron, Optimus uses the power of the Matrix of Leadership to kill The Fallen and destroy the Star Harvester, and the Autobots and NEST celebrate their lastest victory. It then cuts to Megatron commenting on how his master's title fits his fate and that underestimating Optimus was The Fallen's worst mistake. Now as supreme leader of all Decepticons, Megatron promises not to make the same mistake as he makes preparations for his final endgame (AKA the events of DOTM). When you first revealed tht you would make this video, I thought you would only talk about the endings of the novelization and comic book adaptation, as you never talked about the variations of the original DOTM ending present in it's other adaptation materials on your video about the leak that caused the film's ending to be changed, which is why I planning on making a comment on tht video showing the variations of the DOTM original ending present of the other adaptation materials as an addendum. 2 films had their original ending explained, so only the 2007 film remaind to get that treatment. Good luck!
I like everything except the "primes are born not made" line. Itd be better if he snapped back that Megatron doesn't posses the qualities that make a prime or something
This was a very interesting video. I do agree that the Novelization ending is the better one. 😊 It’s sad that the filmmakers ran out of time causing them to change the ending. Oh, well. It is what it is. 😔 Wait. Did Optimus have a different speech in the original ending did he not have one at all?
I remember in the PS2 game of transformers 2 U fought as prime against the fallen on top the pyramid and there were a bunch of portals but as you're about to beat him Megatron appeared and the Fallen commanded him to help him fight Prime but he demanded that the fallen make him a prime firstly but when he realize he was lied to megatron attacked prime out of rage and got his ass beaten then Prime came back to the top of the harvester and pushed the fallen into the giant beam of energy
One thing I find interesting is despite the fucking mess this movie ended up being, Sam (during his Einstein is wrong rant) says something about the “sentinel prime program”
I played the game on the PS2 and that for me was a great experience as a kid, I also got to play the DS version of both the Autobots and Decepticons, that was nostalgic back then I had no health issues and no stress and anxiety, only pure happiness 😢
OG ending is better, but I understand that ILM had major constraints. We still need breakaway to be brought back in future movies, his design is awesome and since its a new universe it wouldn't need any explanation aside from "he's a survivor of the war on Cybertron who escaped to earth." Really, I just want a Studio Series figure, cause the original from ROTF is hard to find and expensive. Underrated character.
Man I had the ps2 game and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I remember in the ending cutscene you just randomly hear Sam who wasn’t mentioned in the rest of the game at all
While I love the ending we got. I still cannot help but this ending would have been awesome to have seen instead. It’s just one of those thoughts you can’t help but wonder👍
Excellent video, personally I think Michael Bay did a great job with his saga despite the fact that there are things I don't like about his style; I just think he was unlucky after TF1. Without a doubt, to make a sequel to TLK and an end to his saga, I want him as the director; if he is the one who started and carried everything to the "end", he is the one who must finish everything.
Here’s what the ending should’ve been: Jetfire gives Optimus Prime his parts, but instead of giving him wings, it transformed him from his Bayverse design, into the G1 version we know & love. Optimus transforms into his G1 Cabover Truck, with the trailer and everything… all the other Autobots cheer for him, and so Optimus rams his way into the sunset, only to hit a director’s chair. Movie ends, but the end credits scene is the Nest targeting the Fallen, by using the canon to blast him, thus ending Revenge of the Fallen.
The Writer's strike really screwed up the original trilogy. We would have a solid trilogy and the movies would not have that negative perception that they have now. Everyone usually points to ROTF as the movie where the franchise went downhill.
This was would have been a Really Great Alternative Ending. I was Fine with Optimus Prime Battling Megatronus Prime/The Fallen and Megatron I still think that’s still one of The Coolest Fights in The Transformers Film Series. If there’s one thing I Would love to see the most is That Post Credit Scene with Megatron on The Nemesis. Hey Theorymus are planning to go over the alternate ending for Transformers 3 Dark of The Moon?
Man if only that original post credit scene was in the film, would have made the DOTM army make so much more sense. I always thougt Megatron had it and just never used it lol.
Yeah that's a weird statement but Ig "born" here refers to already having the values & competence to be a Prime. Even in RotB he's referred as to being "the legendary warrior of Cybertron".
Leo kinda just disappeared in the final battle, I feel like there could have been something cool where he would distract the Fallen and Megatron. Love ur vids :)
Great video. Nice to know there were different options. @Theorymus could do a video investigating what Optimus Prime really did in the time he disappeared in the final battle of The Last Knight and reappeared in the back of Dragonstorm to kill Infernocus. Did he visit Alpha Trion to seek knowledge ? Did he need to relieve himself of diarrhea? Or was he just watching the battle from above and see if their autobots could do a good job without a Prime help ?
Ironhide:ah i think you missed a spot just below.....optimus flies away Previously Ironhide was always angry and here he tried being useful for once Btw fulfill your destiny you don't need wheels or feet you need wings
Would have been nice if Bay cut out some of Skids and Mudflap BS, but I guess he thought that was more important over a fulfilling and coherent final battle. Those two characters got a lot of screen time that ate up the ILM budget.
That ending definitely sounded a lot better than what we got in the movie. The even better one was the Dark of the Moon ending. That book ending was insanely different than the movies one.
A lot more makes sense especially why Megatron loses the will to both battle, fight and finish the war in ways he wants. He was never the same after the second movie and it always made me wonder why. I think the overall endings on every side is very well written. I think the way it would start is the rockiest part. I'm guessing the reason it's a bit messy is because of how things had to be hurried up and some parts were re-arranged. That too would make sense why things were chopping in Egypt
They did say it was a prototype railgun and looking at real life advancement, its possible it was unable to fire again due to damage from firing. Though it is pretty dumb they didn't manage to use it again in other movies. Though it may have been difficult to set up quickly inland, it could have help a lot in DotM.
Yeah you can tell Michael Bay was very dissatisfied about the film’s climax. His climax in DotM was his apology to RotF.
but I'd much prefer the original ending for dotm ngl

This was a very interesting video. I do agree that the Novelization ending is the better one. 😊 It’s sad that the filmmakers ran out of time causing them to change the ending. Oh, well. It is what it is. 😔 Wait. Did Optimus have a different speech in the original ending did he not have one at all?
Original ending Optimus did have a different speech
Yep.
Oh, ok. What was it?
Threw it to the stars Beyond
Oh, ok.
I have been waiting for this video for a long time and it paid off
Always appreciate the content! It ls cool to see someone still talk about those early Transformers films🔥
This is true the og ending was better that the one we have now
I remember in the PS2 game of transformers 2 U fought as prime against the fallen on top the pyramid and there were a bunch of portals but as you're about to beat him Megatron appeared and the Fallen commanded him to help him fight Prime but he demanded that the fallen make him a prime firstly but when he realize he was lied to megatron attacked prime out of rage and got his ass beaten then Prime came back to the top of the harvester and pushed the fallen into the giant beam of energy
seeing this gives me nostalgia of watching rotf for the first time
One thing I find interesting is despite the fucking mess this movie ended up being, Sam (during his Einstein is wrong rant) says something about the “sentinel prime program”
I played the game on the PS2 and that for me was a great experience as a kid, I also got to play the DS version of both the Autobots and Decepticons, that was nostalgic back then I had no health issues and no stress and anxiety, only pure happiness 😢
OG ending is better, but I understand that ILM had major constraints. We still need breakaway to be brought back in future movies, his design is awesome and since its a new universe it wouldn't need any explanation aside from "he's a survivor of the war on Cybertron who escaped to earth." Really, I just want a Studio Series figure, cause the original from ROTF is hard to find and expensive. Underrated character.
Man I had the ps2 game and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I remember in the ending cutscene you just randomly hear Sam who wasn’t mentioned in the rest of the game at all
As good as the original ending was, it just needed more Jolt and it would be perfection.
While I love the ending we got. I still cannot help but this ending would have been awesome to have seen instead. It’s just one of those thoughts you can’t help but wonder👍
19:01 megaBlud got replace by his own troop 😭💀
I’m kinda sad and disappointed that the original ending didn’t make it, cuz at least it wouldn’t be as sloppy and empty as the final ending.
Excellent video, personally I think Michael Bay did a great job with his saga despite the fact that there are things I don't like about his style; I just think he was unlucky after TF1. Without a doubt, to make a sequel to TLK and an end to his saga, I want him as the director; if he is the one who started and carried everything to the "end", he is the one who must finish everything.
I didn't know that there was a 2009 strike.
Amazing Bro :D
Some many ending I can't choose my favourite
This is way better more ending than the movie ending
I just woke up and this was the first thing to pop up on my recommendations, guess I’m starting the day off with a bang
And a Boom 💥
Bruh so your telling that the fallen will have more screen time this is much better than fallen asleep in the theaters
Here’s what the ending should’ve been:
Jetfire gives Optimus Prime his parts, but instead of giving him wings, it transformed him from his Bayverse design, into the G1 version we know & love. Optimus transforms into his G1 Cabover Truck, with the trailer and everything… all the other Autobots cheer for him, and so Optimus rams his way into the sunset, only to hit a director’s chair. Movie ends, but the end credits scene is the Nest targeting the Fallen, by using the canon to blast him, thus ending Revenge of the Fallen.
That sounds familiar
I wish that Devastator was used more in the film. Just imagine the Autobots going up against him!
Dude pls explain how did Hound Crosshairs and Drift appeared in T4 since they werent there in T Movies 1-3
The Writer's strike really screwed up the original trilogy. We would have a solid trilogy and the movies would not have that negative perception that they have now.
Everyone usually points to ROTF as the movie where the franchise went downhill.
I remember seeing in the special features disc about the ending about megatron commanding his new army! Man I wish it was put into the movie ☹️
Jetfire's quote makes me laugh so hard man
19:45 so in this ending, optimus spared the fallen and send him far away from earth
16:35 this was before rise of the beasts for scourge death and I wish we did have the original ending but we know why they never add the ending
I love your videos!
This was would have been a Really Great Alternative Ending. I was Fine with Optimus Prime Battling Megatronus Prime/The Fallen and Megatron I still think that’s still one of The Coolest Fights in The Transformers Film Series. If there’s one thing I Would love to see the most is That Post Credit Scene with Megatron on The Nemesis. Hey Theorymus are planning to go over the alternate ending for Transformers 3 Dark of The Moon?
I already have a vido on it 🫡
theorymus did make a video on the alternate ending in transformers 3
That actually sounds like a better ending surprisingly. Plus it actually connects the movies together and so much more like you said in the video.
Man if only that original post credit scene was in the film, would have made the DOTM army make so much more sense. I always thougt Megatron had it and just never used it lol.
Optimus: Primers are born, not made.
Orion Pax: Hold my energon
Yeah that's a weird statement but Ig "born" here refers to already having the values & competence to be a Prime. Even in RotB he's referred as to being "the legendary warrior of Cybertron".
Nothing’s better than watching Optimus go Apeshit on Megatron and Fallen
I kinda wanna see the reboot optimus to do a epic battle like forest battle and this movie is overhated only has few problems
Wow This Is Good If This Rotf Ending Was Real It Would Have Been The Best
The Design of the fallen is one of my Favorites in the compliete Bayverse.
This is a good video 10/10
Thanks!
THAT MY PRIME: Optimus: let them come
I just wish we had more Devastator
Leo kinda just disappeared in the final battle, I feel like there could have been something cool where he would distract the Fallen and Megatron. Love ur vids :)
Great video. Nice to know there were different options. @Theorymus could do a video investigating what Optimus Prime really did in the time he disappeared in the final battle of The Last Knight and reappeared in the back of Dragonstorm to kill Infernocus. Did he visit Alpha Trion to seek knowledge ? Did he need to relieve himself of diarrhea? Or was he just watching the battle from above and see if their autobots could do a good job without a Prime help ?
Ironhide:ah i think you missed a spot just below.....optimus flies away
Previously Ironhide was always angry and here he tried being useful for once
Btw fulfill your destiny you don't need wheels or feet you need wings
Would have been nice if Bay cut out some of Skids and Mudflap BS, but I guess he thought that was more important over a fulfilling and coherent final battle. Those two characters got a lot of screen time that ate up the ILM budget.
Hey Theorymus one thing I noticed is when the teleport & knocking everybody over you see the bottom left corner one of the soldiers gets decapitated 😳
That ending definitely sounded a lot better than what we got in the movie. The even better one was the Dark of the Moon ending. That book ending was insanely different than the movies one.
A lot more makes sense especially why Megatron loses the will to both battle, fight and finish the war in ways he wants. He was never the same after the second movie and it always made me wonder why. I think the overall endings on every side is very well written. I think the way it would start is the rockiest part. I'm guessing the reason it's a bit messy is because of how things had to be hurried up and some parts were re-arranged. That too would make sense why things were chopping in Egypt
They did say it was a prototype railgun and looking at real life advancement, its possible it was unable to fire again due to damage from firing. Though it is pretty dumb they didn't manage to use it again in other movies. Though it may have been difficult to set up quickly inland, it could have help a lot in DotM.
Ironhide: I think you missed a spot under the - His lawyers would have to interrupt the sentence
I liked the alternate ending than the ending we saw in movie. Thank you theorymus love from India 😘😘😘
Well after watching this, I now have gotten a better appreciation for this ending. I'll have to figure out how it will work, but we'll see.
I'm sure glad they spent the time on Leo and his friends, Sam spazzing out in class, and Sam's mom getting high as opposed to the final battle...
Honestly, I prefer the Fallen's and Megatron's defeat in the movie over the book
