Imagine how insane the franchise would've been if it stayed at the tone of this scene.
Too bad it went tha Garbage way
@INFINITYWYVERN so true
INFINITYWYVERN it would’ve been so great 👌🏽👌🏽
this scene probably cost millions of dollars alone
I dont understand why people love bumblebee movie
this scene does multiple things
1. it shows how overwhelmed we'd be fighting just 1 decepticon
2. it shows how easily they could infiltrate our military
3. it shows how badass blackout is
4. it was a kickass way to start of this franchise
And in Transformers 2, 3, 4 and 5 the decepticons have become a joke
@@JemRau what?! 2 and 3 almost had them cuck the whole world, 4 doesn't have them so let's skip it, 5 had just the low tier Decepticons, considering the truth big players died on 3
Blackout is badass because he attacked american soldiers
@@JemRau 4 is an exception since the deception's were man made prototypes.
@@copperhead6132 So? That doesn’t change the fact that they still got owned in a very unceremonious way. Galvatron was just a one time poster villain in that movie
02:45 - Smart little segment. Blackout assumed the Night Scope was some kind of Earth weapon, and adapted it, tried to fire it, took some photos and was all like "nah...back to my own straps..."
WOW I always wondered what was happening in that scene. Thank you for sharing.
Lol moment
I thought he was lazing the Spec ops team for his scorpion thing to track them ?
@@lalonguecarabine4952 Nope. Watch it again more closely. He scans and then replicates the mechanics of the camera thinking it was a weapon. Then he deploys the “weapon” and fires it. You can even hear the camera shutter sound and see the flash. He takes one pic as soon as he deploys and then 2 more after Tyrese gets up and runs which is why they use the kind of freeze frame effect. Its very subtle but super clever. I didn’t realize it until the op pointed it out. Makes this scene even more special.
I did not notice/know that at all and I’ve seen this film dozens of time (and this scene specifically hundreds of times)
The moment you realize that Blackout was the first transformer to EVER appear in live action, imagine the amount of pressure on him 😅
Damn right
And they did it right for first impression
and he killed it, absolutely killed it. most badass scene to date.
@@okdok3742 and you know, that whole base as well
The cinema I was in on opening night lost their collective minds when Blackout started to Transform. No one was sitting. Everyone was cheering. high-fiving, clapping, crying, it was the best movie experience I had until the Portal scene in Endgame showed up years and years later.
Everybody gangsta till the helicopter starts walkin.
Get to the chopper before the chopper gets (to) you.
I think you mean transforming
A reference to a trevor Henderson meme everybody gangsta til the 5g tower starts walking
Lol😂😂
@@selenaburkett344 that’s the joke. U missed it bruh 💀🤦♀️
General: "Have your crew step out or we will kill you"
Blackout: *"I am the crew"*
LOLXD
Blackout: "And I'll gladly kill your crew instead."
General: not yet
I’m late to this comment but this is my favorite I’ve seen 😂😂😂
Proceed, transformation..
Yknow what the scariest part is? Blackout very easily could’ve just bombarded the base in seconds with his Shockwaves, because he did it at the very end. The only reason he didn’t is because he needed the information first. That is the ONLY REASON there were survivors. I miss when the decepticons individually were huge threats
Indeed.
Decepticons of 2007, every single one of them, is a boss battle. Even Frenzy.
He didn’t mean to leave survivors. The Secretary of Defense says there were no survivors of the attack, Blackout even went as far as to destroy the imager used to video him. He wanted no witnesses and no evidence of his existence. Blackout knew some soldiers escaped and deployed Scorponok to hunt them down and kill them. The Decepticons did not want their presence to be known yet 1) So the humans had a harder time organizing defenses or figuring out their mission and 2) To keep the Autobots off of them until they could revive Megatron
@@ares_bluesteel you can say that he wanted a complete Blackout... of information about that incident
There's no information of what his shockwaves are, I know I've seen the vehicles explode and the buildings destroyed but it doesn't explain what happens to the humans that got hit by it, it's showing no bones in the wave path at all, this is confusing!
Blackout was the first Transformer I ever saw, and he will always have a special place in my heart
A special place in your spark
He wasn't the first Transformer I saw, but he was the first Transformer that really impressed me. Even though he didn't say a single word. A real Decepticon. Not a chatty jester, but a killing machine that operates without doubt or fear.
Same but let's be real we all didn't know his name until we got the games and toys am I right?
I had a dvd player with a trailer for this movie and his transformation always terrified me, but in a gnarly way. Probably one of my favorite designs
And they made him into an absolute goon in the second movie
The G1 transformation sound made by Blackout was a great tribute...
Yeah, that's because that's the original sound for them in the tv show
@@RicoX-17 Yup, that's what I meant by tribute.
@@RicoX-17 ha you tried to be a smug smartass n sounded dummy as hell g 💀
0:53
Im really glad you picked that one up
0:45 that abrupt stop of the rotor. The initial O shit moment of the Transformer universe
I would say the initial O shit moment was just before that, when the pilot's holographic nature is revealed (blinking image). Then you know for sure that the chopper is in fact a Transformer. I mean before that, when the helicopter is approching the Katar base, you kinda think that maybe it could be a Decepticon or an Autobot, right? But it's when you find out the pilot is fake that you're like: oh yeah, shit is about to get real! I'll be honest with you, though: I only disagreed with you because the pilot thing happened BEFORE the rotor thing. Otherwise you would be 100% right because there is no way a real chopper could stop it's rotors that quickly!
Fr
@@dartharaneus67 I agree totally! I knew it was about to go down when the "mustache man" hologram started blinking!
0:55 Imagine being a Transformers fan since the very first appearance back in the 80s. The feeling seeing this flawless transformation mustve been unreal
the CGI is immaculate
That'd be me. The first Transformers movie was to me the way a lord of the rings megafan would feel when first seeing LOTR. However, after the first movie- the franchise just went downhill from there....so in the end it's absolutely Nothing like lord of the rings or even the hobbit(mediocre but still better than recent transformers movies) I envy them.
Right after the rotor folded you hear the original transforming sound. When I heard it, I was a little kid again, watching those first episodes
Actually a lot of G1 fans were upset with Bayformers. I don’t know if their minds changed after seeing the movie(s). I was the opposite. I had no interest in Transformers (except Beast Wars) until this movie.
@@intorsusvolo7834G1 ?
This was the Jurassic Park of 2007
Back then NO ONE thought it was possible for a human truck, helicopter etc to transform into robots the size of buildings practically and while the franchise has suffered from too many explosions, juvenile humor and less than stellar acting the robots were always outstanding nm what they turned into.
I appreciate this comparison.
The CGI really held up and looks better than most movies today ( ahem MCU)
Funny thing is spielberg produced this lol
We’re all looking at you skids and mudflat
CGI/graphics classes in universities should have this as a turning point from lord of the rings style practical effects to cgi.
That moment when the propeller stops midspin and transforms...imagine how scary that would look in real life. It's so UNNATURAL for a spinning mechanism to stop mid-spin and change direction.
In real life that propeller would have ripped off or something
Imagine asking for your opinion!
@Srikanth Ramprasad no dude I meant the sheer velocity and speed that the rotor would be going at. To have it just dead on stop in its place after going that fast would logically cause it too just fly off or break
@@lolstuffenjoy9880 They aren't made out of normal metal, are they?
Either way, you're questioning the logic of a movie that is based around alien robots that can transform into any vehicle they want xD
Alright settle down silly silly boys. I wasnt trying questioning the logic I wat stating what would go down in *real life* I that was a *REAL* helicopter in the *REAL* life then the propeller would most certainly *REALLY IN THE REAL LIFE* tear off or fly off due to the speed it's going at
This was the scene that made me lose my mind as a kid when I first watched this.
Bro my dad took me to the cinema when I was like 5 to watch this and this scene made everyone in the cinema hyped af
Lol
Me too dude..
Is it for kids?
@@maximchechelnitsky5884 It's really the only one in the Michael Bay movies that is remotely kid friendly compared to the next ones. Except for the Bumblebee movie, that ones actually good for kids.
Such a terrifying way to start this series! Blackout knew he was in control the entire time. He didn't have to rush his transformation because he knew that the humans couldn't do anything to stop him. The way Michael Bay led up to the siege was fantastic!
❤
Seeing this in the theater for the first time. The music, the chills, the transformer sound effect. Was a moment for the history books.
I think I missed it when I went on opening day when I was 6
True to that I had to see it twice and I hate going to the theaters now. Probably the only movie I’ve seen twice at the theater.
Ah, back when the Transformers looked like the vehicles they turned into, nowadays they could be a car and turn into a robot that looks nothing like that car, EG: Lockdown
Lockdown was alright, but Knight Optimus is unironically a "Prime" example of no visible vehicle parts on the robot mode.
@@7otalBlackou7 ye you're right, and that really pissed me off when I watched it
also it disappoints me when Galvatron transforms in pieces and is revived by humans instead of Unicron
J C they started to to make the robot mode without considering the vehicle mode - which left the guy (genius) who was able to work out how to fold all the parts into each transformer models.
@@7otalBlackou7 even after I saw him transform 3 times from his truck form to robot mode, still I was like, wut? Nah that cant be
Decepticons from first movie was tough and scary af. Even Autobots working together to take out single Decepticon. But now they can just get killed by one shot. Shame
S.A.S yeah thats why the movie became shits.
True
You are right in the first movie decepticons were very strong
And then in TLK they die the first fight they are in
A lot of movies do that
Blackout is the real G for this,dude just casually taking out a entire military base solo,also did u see how badass he's walking while destroying those airplanes at 3:11
2:57 that sound is cold af
Say whatever you want about the BayFormers films, but this scene is legendary. When I first saw it on the big screen my mouth hit the floor and I remember that moment like it happened yesterday, it was like my wildest dreams came true on screen. It is one of my favorite memories and the best cinematic experience I've ever had.
Facts.
Love bayformers they have the best looking transformer designs imo, the ppl that hate on the movies are the typical g1 transformers boomers, I mean nostalgic ppl u know those types of ppl can never accept new versions of anything and like to live under rocks.
Oh you're not alone the bayformers films are my childhood quite literally I grew up whatching these movies and this scene and when Optimus first transforms is the most nostalgic scenes for me
@@syunafrost351 Nah, bayformers designs were garbage for the most part.
Amen, bruh.
Looking back and watching this scene, it makes me actually fear the Decepticons. Here you have this seemingly normal helicopter flying into base, when suddenly it starts to shift at what might’ve been considered impossible angles to form this giant ass robot, and said giant ass robot start to blow the living hell out of the military base. Ruthlessly killing the soldiers there, as the soldiers see that their weapons are having seemingly no effect on it. Then later in the movie when Lennox sees Blackout land atop a building in mission city, his immediate reaction is one of dread. Makes you wonder where this was in the rest of the movies. That’s my opinion, don’t know it anyone else shares it.
Oh definently, this is the only watchable one in my opinion, the rest you can tell MB had complete control of the film
And he gets killed that easily by the same people Blackout destroyed in the beginning
Best part about this is that by then Lennox had already seen and survived encounters with multiple deceptions. I think he had even seen Megatron and Starscream at least once by then. He even knew that they could be hurt by their weaponry, but still Blackout triggered that certain PTSD like feeling in him which showed that even with tons of experience, there's nothing quite like that very first encounter.
@@Magnezone962 actually I originally shared the same thought as you, but if you saw the scene when Blackout got shot by Lennox at the chest, there were sever F15 raptor shooting missiles at Blackout chest as well.
@@aaronlimeuchin7352 Ok, Well I meant Blackout could probably find a way to escape
This is why Blackout is one of, if not, my top favorite Bayverse transformer. He is the FIRST transformer we see in the Bayverse and his entrance/introduction is still the best.
Colonel Sharpe is an underrated character. In the face of overwhelming violence, caught completely by surprise, he had the BALLS to walk into that building to see what it was doing. And when he saw this walking nightmare scenario, taking information, he knew that couldn't be good and proactively did something about it.
It's funny since the decepticon was technically complying with all instructions, and so the soldiers broke the rules of engagement when he started transforming by shooting first, justifying all further action
When the captain said power down now and he did by transforming into its form.
I mean if you saw a helicopter turn into a giant robot with a full arsenal of weapons would you just stand there?
I mean he did say standby to engage lol
He even complied to "have your crew step out", since he is the crew and just "stepped out" by transforming. Not that the end result wouldn't be the same, though. He needed the information, so they would've opened fire eventually when he tried to reach for it.
@@akotarakz I would've run away instead engaging towards it. It's a freaking giant transformer robot dude. You could've been terrified as well.
I remember being a kid with my dad in the theatre and both of our jaws were dropped when this scene came on. Lmao Great times
So your like 20 watching yt transformers? Grow up
ThaoN Vu I’m actually a junior in high school reminiscing old childhood memories on my free time. And you’re some miserable prick watching transformers hating on guys like me in the comment section for no reason. Grow up
@@melkroll6962 dammmnnn 😂😂😂😂
Isah Bello guess he took the loss since he isn’t responding 💀
Schematicash97 I think you got him.
Can u imagine how significant this scene is. For the first time ever, especially as a kid seeing this in theatres. First ever live action transformers. All the cartoons and toys, we wouldn't have imagined how it would look like in real life and this was the first scene, the CGI was mind-blowing. Holds up even to this day, you couldn't tell how long ago this was. I remember being a kid in that very theatre and boy oh boy the conversations at school the next day was insane. Everyone was talking about it, reenacting this scene. We memorised all the names of the decepticons and autobots. Truly redefining, indescribable and jaw dropping. I am so thankful for this memory
I loved the decepticons in this movie. They were smart enough to one disguise themselves as authority, Target information, take out Communication, and even try to take out loose ends. Their whole plan was sound.
Imagine how horrifying that initial moment at 0:55 must have been for those soldiers
That's something unnatural.
Panicked and confused shooting at the rising mechanical monstrosity. It was a damn well done scene.
lmao rest in piss
The fact they shot without any order alone shows the fear they have
0:55 confusion and fear
1:13 yeah we are fucked moment
Not going to lie I was kind of sad when blackout died because he had the coolest opening out of any transformer
Not above megs exiting the dam though.
@@welcomeboi8991Nah this was better
@@galaxius179 nah.
@@welcomeboi8991this was way better
This scene has stuck with me ever since I first saw it as a kid. It's just the way the rotor stops on a dime, raises into the air and all blades relocate to the back. It is done so suddenly and so smoothly that it still takes me by surprise. The sounds it makes as it happens just sells the whole thing. The whole transformation is great, but that rotor, just the rotor's movement and sound alone gets you excited.
So bummed out I didn’t get to see this movie in its full glory on the big screen. At 0:53 is probably one of the best transformation scenes in Bayformers. The classic transformer sound that wasn’t heard in the rest of the movies was a missed opportunity
Sorry dude but still a bay action classic
pretty sure laserbeak from DOTM was making G1 transformation sounds a lot
Ikr these sounds in theaters would’ve been so 🤌
This scene was actually badass I love how he quickly transformed then just attacked the whole base without threatening them
Blackout is extremely methodical and determined…he only needed the Sector 7 data, and could care less about the people running around at the base. Hence the wanton destruction.
@@transfo47 Well actually he wanted zero witnesses. Hence why he obliterated the base and sent Scorponok after the survivors
@@Nova7_the_insane Good point. But I don't think secrecy in general was a goal for the rest of the Decepticons as Barricade and Starscream didn't really make an effort to be covert prior to reawakening Megatron.
@@transfo47 because once megatron was awakened the battle was already won. Megatron only lost because of his arrogance and a surprise attack with the allspark.
@@transfo47 Starscream didn’t reveal himself until it was time to reawaken Megatron, when he transformed at Hoover Dam and destroyed the generators. Barricade was going to get the information on Megatron’s location from Sam and then kill him to leave no witnesses. Of course Bumblebee foiled that plan, so Sam and Mikaela both survived as witnesses.
That first shockwave though 1:13
Yeah that was hell good one
Havok Gaming right best sound
Yeah my favorite moment in the entire movie
ikrrrrr
3:09 as a kid I always liked that part and how it goes in the sand with that mechanic transformer sound too! I get pumped hehe
One of my favorite movie sequences in Transformers in my opinion, it's just so cool and badass to me how Blackout single handedly takes out an entire U.S military base.
Join the club we got jackets
Can't believe this movie is already 15 years old. Look at this awesome CGI. My god, I love the Bayformers movies so, so much :D
Back when one Decepticon could actually do something
If you ever played Mass Effect, Blackout essentially reaps through them like the insignificant organics they are lmao
This is Blackout. One of the elite and experienced decepticon. That's why you could see it destroyed the entire based with ease.
Back when they don't get killed with one shot
It turns out Blackout was third in command of decepticons with starscream being second
Blackouts probably my favorite Decepticon
Probably? Hm.
yeah. not enough xD totally my favorite waifu ever.
@@Hoyeons7 wtf?
@@7140noI Yeah exactly what the actual hell! Blackout is a giant "male" killer robot! ???
@@marcoscabezolajr.8408 Can you find a better waifu than this?
It’s crazy to see how well they made the cgi work in ‘07, the tone of this movie made this scene so epic
To this day, this scene is still absolutely terrifying. The amounthe of dread an confusement that these soldiers would have had in them would be immeasurable. An absolutely amazing way to start this movie.
1:40 When you steal your brother's charger
🤣🤣😂😂 is he cutting the wires with an axe?
LOL
@@chadbot0129 seems reasonable 😂😭🤣😆
Blackouts shock blast is INSANE!!!!! Imagine him using it during the city battle 💀☠
He did just not at full blast
He almost got it at the final battle but he failed due to just one guy shooting at its weak point.
@@VARJAGAMINGENTERTAINMENT watch it again, blackout also got shot by entire jet squadron before one soldier manage to hit his spark.
He did, but it wasn't at full blast/he was nerfed
I remember playing the video game of this film. Blackout had that blast attack as his secondary weapon. You got medals on Decepticon missions for causing as much destruction as possible… it was very difficult to NOT get that medal whilst playing as Blackout
3:08 That part with the thing came out of Blackout's back and sparks came flying out is such an epic shot! The CGI of the first 5 films is so awesome and I don't care what critics negatively says!
Scorponok is his name!
@@e.d.h.kendrick673 thanks for the clarification
That shot of Scorponok was amazing. Surprised not many are talking about that.
1:37 Watch those Soldiers Running in the Left Corner... Omg.
Yep, literally vaporized.
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 that's why I love Blackout. He is a real Mercenary
@@arl-4452 Yeah, very true. I too love Blackout.
I didn't even notice that that's so terrifying transformers movies are so terrifying with robots turning people into bojes or water that guy in bumblebee died and turned into water and Chicagins bieng turned into bones is so scary sometimes Hasbro products could be scary
XenoTronus PrimeZilla#21068 i know this is late but it wasn’t even a vaporiser. Blackout was shooting a concussion blast
This is when the Decepticons were actually a genuine threat. Each and every one of the Cons was powerful and intimidating in his own right.
- Blackout singehandedly destroyed a large military base and it took an entire squad of Raptor jets to bring him down.
- Frenzy killed several people on Air Force One
- Scorponok didnt even die after an airstrike hit him.
- Barricade nearly killed Sam and put up a good fight against Bumblebee
- Starscream took down a whole fleet of fighter jets and beat both Ratchet and Ironhide at once
- Bonecrusher was completely fearless in taking on Optimus Prime, and actually got some good hits in.
- Brawl only went down with the combined efforts of 4 Autobots *AND* the U.S. military
- Megatron killed Jazz and actually beat Optimus Prime in a one-on-one fight, which is something no other character was able to do in the whole series
This is one of the many reasons why I'll always consider this movie the best of the ones made under Michael Bay. In the other ones the Decepticons essentially become reoccurring canon fodder with little-to-no character. Thankfully that wasn't the case with Bumblebee, which has, in my opinion, the best decepticon characters featured in the live action films.
@@foreignroninl1555 Honestly, my one and only complaint in the first film was the fact that megatron beat optimus 1v1. I think I read somewhere that others justified it being that optimus was holding back because people were around, which is why in revenge of the fallen, in the forest, he killed grindor, beat starscream with his own arm, and nearly killed megatron. I suppose that COULD work, but, idk, i just don't see megatron ever realistically beating optimus.
@@TorneFurHire Megatron is as strong as optimus, and in the first film he was bigger and powerful. The second film, after he gets revived, he comes weaker duel to the fact that he no longer has a stronger body and use little of what the all-spark could offer. And after him getting his ass whoop in the forest and desert, he eventually even becomes weaker. You can tell in the 3rd film, hes very rusty and pretty much broken apart, he is easily (not really) defeated by sentinel prime and optimus.
@@aim-9sidewinder550 yeah in the 3rd movie Megs became nothing more than Sentinel's bitch as Carly said which was one of my biggest complaints about DOTM
@@jackietang3789 well I understand you're complaining about it, but the fact is he got weaker for a reason and not because of poor writing.
Government: we need to make peace with the aliens
Area 51: uh, about that, we have already dissected aliens.
Government: oh, we’re screwed aren’t we.
"Power down now. Have your crew step out or we will kill you"
>Blackout stops the propeller and transforms into his robot form. Sounds like he did exactly what the commander said. I'd be a little agitated too if military guys started shooting me even after doing what they told me to do.
I think an unappreciated genius aspect of this scene is the fact that literally everyone watching this knew it was going to be a Transformer. In spite of that, they still managed to make the revelation impactful and as memorable as if you didnt know it was a Transformer at first
Imagine the anticipation and dread you would feel in DOTM if Blackout suddenly showed up in Chicago. He could've razed half the city by himself.
"Fine I'll do it myself."
~blackout
Transformers was one of the best power sci-fi fantasies ever dude. Bro I'm rewatching these as an adult
Everything about this movie just hits home. Visuals, setting, sound effects, and characters, ect. It's just about perfect.
This scene was intense. Blackout was savage and arguably has the best transformation sequence.
3:12 He destructing the airplanes is so amazing
Blackout has the best transformation and sound effect in all of the movies
0:39 Hologram Pilot
0:48 Badass Moment
blackouts transformation is scary af
Imagine seeing this in the theatre for the first time🤯
I remember how I nearly shit myself when seeing this in theaters.
Damn, you missed out. I saw in IMAX when I was 23. Freaking AWESOME!!! It was LOUD!! Saw it twice in IMAX with a grin from ear to ear! Sorry, didn’t mean to brag lol. How old were you?
@@jaysson1151 I was 4 when this came out. Saw it on tv when I was 6.
Back in 2007
I was 7 when this came out and my dad saved enough money to get us tickets at the last minute cuz they were selling out. I will never forget this scene or movie
I love how insanely powerful transforms weapons are to normal vehicles but the second they shoot another transformer with it, it has the same affect as if they sneezed on them
Transformers are made of stronger material dimwit
My dad took me to watch this opening night and when this scene came up I remember his words exactly “that’s what I’m talking about..” best feeling ever when your dad likes what you love 💪
Still the best of all 6 live movies
Its great, and the Bumblebee movie is good too.
@@ratman136 Oddly yes, other than John Cena in it, would have been a solid 8 / 10. It was done pretty well
Am I literally the only one who likes revenge of the fallen
@@Arlett777 probably yes. Alex Kurtzman did a number on it
@@ljgav bumblebee is what transformers suppose to look like, Bayverse transformers ruined it basically. I was kinda disappointed when I first saw the first live action movie, it looks nothing like the one in the original comics. But when the bumblebee movie came, now that was lit
I remember seeing this back in 2007 on the release of this film & I was utterly blown away. It's a shame the series never lived up to much - being a massive fan of G1/G2, this film was a cool realisation.
Travis Knight nailed it tho with Bumblebee, those war on Cybertron scenes were perfect.
DOTM was pretty good
G2? You mean, the toyline..? The G2 "cartoon" was just reruns of G1 content.
@@CryosisOfficial I thought G2 was considered the episodes that came after the ‘86 film? My bad! Still, point still stands - the film was an excellent realisation.
@@alarak2159 Ah, yeah, I think I used to think the same thing when I was younger now that you mention it.
G1 was the entirety of the Sunbow cartoon and the movie. The G2 "cartoon" was 2 seasons of reruns of a few episodes from seasons 1, 2, and 3 of the G1 cartoon with a new title sequence and some CGI slapped onto stuff here and there.
Seeing this as a kid in theaters, when his machine guns start after the first blast he shoots, the whole theater was rumbbling. We all stood watch in awe as this monster, this machine, this decepticon came to life. Destroying everything with no remorse and nothing to stop him. Incredible moment 🔥
“Have your crew step out or we will kill you”
Blackout: *”I am the crew”*
My god, blackout is freaking powerful!!
Ikr?, I think he's one of the most powerful Decepticons

Blackout got best shockwave weapon
Man I remember being 6 years old eating Corn Pops and watching this movie in repeat in my basement. Such great days
This single scene is better than the rest of the whole movie franchise.
This scene had me on the edge of my seat when I saw this scene in theaters. And it still does to this day.
This is the only part that gave me a sliver of hope, that this movie, and the rest of the series, will be pretty good. I was wrong.
Megan Fox notwithstanding, the first movie was actually pretty good. Certainly better than all four sequels that came after, that's for sure.
Silhouetto of a Man Mohawk was right. “Oh, this ain’t right.”
@@silhouettoofaman2935 I thought Shia was worse. He was so obnoxious, which I’m sure was a defect inherited from his parents lol
First one was good second one was meh third one was. Amazing fourth was good but unecessary fifth doesn’t need to exist
The first was pretty good it gave the vibe of g1 with a dash of modern stuff and the CGI is top notch still holds up well to this day
I saw this scene as a kid in theaters in 2007 and at the time it sucked the air out of the room. For adults too. It made such an impression that today I sought out this scene thinking “it can’t be anywhere near that good.” And you know what? When those chopper blades just STOP. I still feel it. It is that good.
Man, my favorite character in Transformers is Shockwave easily but man the way they do Blackout in this movie almost puts him in as one of my favorite characters lol.
Remember seeing this in cinema, that first shock wave and the audio throughout this scene is just so incredible.
1:23 ....best sounding kinetic Energy Weapon EVER!
Tom Baker have you heard the seismic charge from Star Wars? That’s the best
The seismic charge from star wars is awesome
...
丂尺卂几 oh hell yeah! Saw that in theaters! Definitely one of the best sound effects!!!
A bullet fired from a gun is a kinetic energy weapon. That's not a kinetic energy weapon. That's alien.
I remember seeing this is the theaters as high as a kite thinking this would be kind of corny and a kids cartoon.
Turned out to be a badass scene, when you see that blue blast after it transforms I was hooked in at that point.
0:44
めっちゃカッコいい！
Wtf happened to the cons now they all just a punch of weaklings, this one con took the entire base, yet an army couldn’t take the city in the 3rd movie
Their goal was to control the city itself to bring Cybertron on earth not to fully invade the country. they are successful on doing that until you know our heroes came in like every other plot of movies
Yeah.. in the first movie bullets barely even damaging the decepticons while the 3rd movie they are just a bunch of weaklings.
I wonder why people think that the movies after LEARNING about the cybertronian's vunerabilities(sabot rounds,I THINK they're called that) assume that they're bad because the decepticons going down easily is a dumb thing. Like...think people. If you learned about an alien's weakness,you'd use it ALL THE TIME to combat that alien from taking out entire bases.
Well this scene has no autobots. 3rd film had autobots to help. Logic ?
It was a surprise attack as well
They keep Blackout in Area 51.
A better place than Michael Bay's studio
I miss this portrayal of the Decepticons. Almost invincible to human weapons, and basically just an unstoppable machine of destruction and evil. Even just one was a SERIOUS threat that took multiple Autobots to take down, and humans could do little besides try to weaken them. By the third movie they were basically made out of cardboard and fell apart under machine gun fire that Blackout was just ignoring here.
This is still one of the coldest openings to a movie i can think of. They showed off so much in so little time, and really set the tone perfectly.
Honestly as far as aliens transforming into military vehicles goes, this is about as realistic and badass as it gets.
Very underrated evil sound at 2:57
"Filthy Insects!"
Here, I have done a thing with the evil sound

I thought he just said ow
Totally agree with everyone’s take in the comments regarding the tone of this scene.
I’m all for the autobots and the franchise having its occasional goofiness/campiness when done right and sparingly, but when it comes to how they should have depicted the decepticons throughout the entirety of the bayverse, this scene should have been the framework for the rest of the series going forward.
Ultimately, the Decepticons should have evoked a sense of dread every time they showed up on screen as these colossal, unstoppable, alien, terminator-kaijus that humans are ultimately outmatched against without the help of the autobots.
Fun Fact: Blackout was Megatron’s Third-in-Command
Bro I am still absolutely blown away by this scene. I dont think there has been this good of an action scene since this day
Who remembers the chills you got seeing this first time .... my ex was like holy fuck and she wasn't interested in transformers in the slightest 😂 got his toy after the movie finished 😁
Texas 37 I was in the 4th grade in 2007 and huge into g1 transformers. Saw this movie 5 times in theaters
I will never forget the standing ovation and cheering people did when Blackout began to transform!!!
I like how he just casually takes his time from going to the base,transforming normally while he's being fired at,casually takes out a whole base with no problem, and finally just got the files
This movie was harshly citizen by rotten tomatoes but for me, the action, the transformations, every part of the movie will always be legendary.
actually not really it did get a higher score than it's sequels which was deserved
I remember watching this in theater being 11 years old. I was amazed on how well this scene was. BEST INTRO EVER. I was a big decepticon fan, they did them justice in this movie
This 100% was meant to be Soundwave. That sonic blast at 1:12. That minion ejection at 3:08. The fact that he's Megatron's right hand man, and just gets crap done, unlike any other Decepticon. I'm sure some toy company executive somewhere nixed the idea of Soundwave being a helicopter, and a new generation of Transformer fans missed out on experiencing the bad-ass Soundwave that G1 fans knew.
It was mentioned that Soundwave was supposed to be in the first movie; they just didn't know how to include him.
Not the best excuse since you've got Frenzy ejecting out of Barricade.
He wasn't meant to be soundwave he was actually supposed to be shockwave but they salvaged him to put him in dark of the moon
This could pass for a horror film that’s the craziest part
I was 11 in 2007, watching this movie to realise how cool Decepticons were and I wanted them to conquer Earth and rooting for them. Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, Barricade, Scorpinok and Demolisher.
I was the exact same!
They were extremely menacing back then
*2:51*
*When someone takes a picture without your consent*
when the rotor blades come to an abrupt halt, insert retro transform sound effect and then make every single piece of that helicopter move in an anatomically correct way and ya....I'm going to like this.
It’s cool, also the thing is called scorpinox
Scene still gives me goosebumps. Great effects, acting and just unbelievable how much destruction blackout caused in a matter of minutes
I remember being a 9 year old boy going to see this movie with my father having not a clue in the world what transformers were and my facial reaction for this entire scene was just 😲😲😲😲
Needless to say this scene right here created my ever lasting love for transformers
1:20 They bombed the antenna farm! We're under attack!
As a kid this was one of the most memorable scenes for me. It's a surprisingly good interpretation of how the military in G1 or the comics would have seen things. From the reader's point of view, or the Witwicky's points of view, it's more of an adventure, but this is the drama perspective of things. I would have loved to see an entire movie from this perspective rather than just having it end up as a B plot, the military trying to figure out how to fight these things. These are the scenes I keep coming back to years later. Heck, it's one of the tones the movies keep trying to come back to with Bumblebee.
I grew up in the 80's loving the TV series and had many of the toys. I was 27 when I saw this in theaters. 3 things made me lose my mind in this scene:
1. When Blackout's rotor blades came to a complete stop
2. When I heard the original 80's "transform" sound worked into the effects
3. The VFX of the actual transformation, which are still insane-especially for 2007
Blackout was lucky that there were no Abrams that greeted him on that runway. Those are one of the few things in that base that could directly hurt him.
