The issue with the swarm, is they need humans. After the COG assumed the Locust threat was done for good, 25 years later, more and more humans begin to go missing. Everyone is at each others throats but no one bothers to look into the abandoned forts to look for answers. When this finally happens, hundreds of pods are found transforming humans in to locust juveniles and drones. In this episode we will discuss why this is happening!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy Swarm Pod Transformation Explained | How do you go from Human to Juvenile Swarm | Gears 4 and 5 Lore

Alright so 8 hours after the release of this video yesterday, youtube demonetized it and the views tanked. This one is monetized so I am posting it, sorry bout the reupload my dudes
Oh right got confused when i saw it again...
Gonna watch it just for the algorithym :)
It ok
Hello again and why did you TH-cam demoines the video
You're still my hero ❤️
ok upload your feet 🥺🥺
Thank you for that terrifying jump scare.
Kyle Smith that girl? Yeah same here, didn’t help I saw that at night before going to sleep
What when in the video?
Ah yes nightmare
@@sniperpro-pi9dz you just got so scared your brain forgot it
@@sniperpro-pi9dz 4:40
I absolutely despise how you showed one of the creepiest things I've ever seen whilst speaking of the most terrifying thing I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing.
This is why I sleep with a sheet over my head, so this will never happen.
Gutza1 proceeds to feel hands tighten around throat while something laughs on top of you
My heart ducking skipped a beat
Wow I'm thankful... my sleep paralysis demon is hot and down to fuck..
I was just listening and happened to look down at that exact moment and lets just say im glad my bowels were vacant.
Onison: Monetized
Logan paul: Monetized
and many other horrible youtubers: Monetized
Roanoke posting the the transformation of Swarm from GoW: DEMONITIZED SCREE DEMONITIZED
is that not the most ridiculous nonsense?
@@RoanokeGaming And the thing that sucks, is i'm not exaggerating.
Probably because they make TH-cam a LOT of money
@@datsimplenope wouldn't TH-cam make more money if they allowed this video to be monetized?
@@vinsonli302 According to them, no.
Watched this yesterday and had sleep paralysis for the first time in my life. Thanks, Roanoke, I'm scared to sleep now.
I have had sleep paralysis twice in my life and yes, its terrifying. The first time, I somehow had my blanket over my face, and felt like I couldnt breathe. Second time, it almost felt like dream within a dream. Something attacked me, I blink, and then it's gone and then a different thing attacks me.
Easy way to deal with this (well what I did) just try not to stare at the anomaly and try to focus on trying to move, because people tend to try naturally move but you have to do it slowly but when you start to move, the anomaly fades when your body realizes that you are aware.
@@uranus9349 Well, in my case, it wasn't something I can see, but more just _knowing_ something is there, watching me and waiting while I couldn't move.
Welp, that’s unfortunate
@@uranus9349 uh interesting, the last time I had it. My great fear was that a family member in the other room was in danger. So I forced myself to slowly get out of bed. I regain conscience when I fell off the bed.
Oh yes please do cover the snatcher in depth, apart from the minotaur its one of the only swarm creatures i’m rather fond of! I don’t know why but the swarm just lacks the personality that the locusts did. For all their savagery and barbarism they still had a society of sorts with relatively interesting motivations. The swarm feel like more of a plague than a faction now though.
That I will!
I think the swarm are somewhat of a mutation of locust dna becoming more like imulsion but with more intelligence. The scions yellow crystals may have something to do with that as well. Perhaps the imulsion killer in gears 3 fused viral characteristics of lambent into locust dna resulting in what we see (keep in mind i haven't played gears 5 and don't know what's possibly been revealed about the swarm there.)
@@Jaden-Ring nah it hasn't, all that was really mentioned was that the locust were designed with a sort of failsafe in their dna. "Designed to withstand generational conflict"
Well they didn't have a Queen to guide the swarm so they didn't really need a society or lack the ability to create one. But now that they have a new Queen, maybe they will start recreating it? As basic as they were, the scions were still evolved and probably didn't see the need for such things.
I'm confused, what's the minotaur?
I love the Gears universe and all of the lore behind it. The first three were my absolute favorites.
Same here, kinda lukewarm on 4 and 5 tho
@@RoanokeGaming yeah same
Just Some Guy without a Mustache you are everywhere
@Roanoke Gaming
It's what happens when you use CW writers.
And not the sexy kind.
Reminds me of Chimera conversion in Resistance Fall of Man.
I officially give you my respect
I two give you respect
Have my respect and like as well
Hell yeah.
Wish we got a sequel after 3 honestly.
Aww shiet, here we go again.
Never fear Roanoke. It's no hassle to just put this video on and mute the firefox tab so you get the view again.
ayyyy well thank you my guy!

Please reply bro, I love your videos, can't wait for the next one
Darn TH-cam always demonetizing video’s for the smallest of things.
I don't think a sleep paralysis demon is a small thing.
@@Watcher-xf3nr No
It sounds like Pupa.
When catepillar (for example) transforms into butterfly, it's body is completely enzymatically broken down and rebuilt inside pupa (or chrysalis). so I think, that thisis happening here.
I have several questions
1- what would happen to soldier if you replaced his skeletal structure?
2- Is there some limits of nanites you can have in body? if yes, what happen when you are over this limit?
3- What Nanosuit V2.0 does to human body during assimilation
4- Deus Ex H.R. Adam Jensen augmentation - Is it possible?
Thank you for your time.
1- immune system and blood production compromised to fatal results
2- not sure yet, nanites are in their infancy as a science
3- Not sure
4- will have to play it!
@@RoanokeGaming Thanks for answer. :-)
@@RoanokeGaming is it posible that you become one with the suit like in crysis series after several injuries that you can't live without it
When I had sleep paralysis I just kinda laid there thinking about the original TMNT series. Then I felt something touching the back of my neck (I was sleeping sideways) safe to say I now have an extreme reaction when something brushes past me from behind.
It just occured to me after watching this video again 2 yrs later that I realised that the concept of the Swarm creation is somewhat similar to how Resistance Chimera are made. You know how they take people and then pod them and what comes out is a monster. I wonder whether the developers took some idea from that
If you're running short on things to analyze, how looking into the StarCraft series with the Terrans, Protos, and Zerg. There is surely plenty to look into with the latter two factions.
man i love this channel. The ladd does WORK when making these videos!
Yo Roanoke I remember that you did a video of the metro dark one on how they came to be well I actually found a diary note that actually says that they came from weapons used during the war
Reposting this from the first upload
"Niles seemed certain the locusts could theoretically survive anything thrown at their species within reason. Is it possible he and the other scientists tampered with their genes to make them more open to adaptation when combined with the lambency's effect. Could the pods be a way of introducing this adaptability into humanity along with swarm/locust genes to assimilate humanity and other species into swarm ones."
Inteterest
4:42 that actually scared tf out of me
You explaining the swarm pod transformation, in short words for me and anyone else watching the video to understand. my God that is a fate worse than death!😨
Oh also keep up the good work I've been enjoying these videos specially your exclamation on the swarm
I thought I had a deja vu when I started watching the vid, turns out it was Mr. TH-cam doing his 'good job' , oh well am still going to rewatch this awesome vid
Tips for breaking out a sleep paralysis.
Realize you're paralyzed.
Breath irregularly.
Move your fingertips and toes.
Move/rotate your ankels and wrists.
Then the lower arms and legs.
After that the upper arms, legs, neck and shoulders.
Hope that helps at least someone
Or just hold your breath until your brain panics and you're forced to move
The worse part is waking up while still paralyzed. Especially when you realize what's happening and know nothing is there and are trying to move but your brain is like "yeah boy we bout to have some horror movie fun"
Talk about the Kraken, please. Great vídeo.
Glad you enjoyed it! and I will!
Please make a vid explaining the lore of everything from locust to swarm, detailing everything along the way, thanks ;)
I saw this video the first upload, but I wanna make sure you get the view count my guy, I got you
great video (as always) and that sleep paralysis monster you showed scared me severely (>
Ik I couldn't sleep bc of it
Hol’ up, you haven’t done bioshock yet?! How is this? There is so much to be done there
0:26 Oh I know exactly how the rest of this goes ;)
UNZIPS
CUM TIME
Well thanks, this was a bit more interesting then I expected.
This Channel has learned me more biology then the actual biology lessons in school
Susan Wallace why is that so true
Grammar next then buddy!
Julie Andrews better?
Susan Wallace not really
After the events that occurred in Gears 5, I wonder who's death will be canon, JD or Del.
my best guess, is Del, JD had too much character development
Just Some Guy without a Mustache It better be Del, gonna be pissed if they kill JD off.
One one of the forums, I can't remember which one though, TC finalized that Dels death is canon. It would be cool though if Gears 6 was like the walking dead and the game would ask us who we picked so we can choose who dies.
i dont consider 4 or 5 to be canon. Lol, fanfiction.
It’s gunna be JD’s death. Del was with Kait for the whole campaign and were super close, JD was on really bad terms with Kait and Del in the first half of the campaign and then redeemed himself. That being said JD seems like the character to be sacrificed. And there goes everything we loved about gears with him.
Great video. Glad to see your channel building steam.
Human capture by Locust = Locust taking revenge, using slave labor, feeding people to their beasts to make them more eager to fight humans.
Human capture by Swarm = same as human infection by Imulsion, but controlled.
Something interesting is that the Snatchers are clearly creating the pods, and attaching them to things. That means some of the Snatchers are small enough to fit into dog-sized crevices. That means Snatchers start out small, and capture animals/children before growing large enough to take on humans. If they're like Juvies, those small Snatchers would be extremely flexible. They'd likely be extremely stealthy, and... They might be purpose-grown in Hives like vat clones.
What digs the Nests? My guess is the Carriers dig and fill Nests. They're the deep guards of Hive facilities. But nests seem to crop up on the outer perimeters of Hives, where Carriers are seldom seen. Maybe there are juvenile Carriers that specialize in creating Nests, before their armor hardens and they become the Carriers we know.
Hopefully we see enemy type variations like this in Gears 6.
ok, seems classic youtube shenanigens, but out of curiosity, what exactly got the vid demonetized on the first place?
The one thing that has bugged me about the Swarm is how they cane to be. We know they are essentially the Locust 2.0, that they use their pods and such to break down humans in to new drones, and form massive organic structures and various creatures with their hives, but how did they gain this ability because the locust certainly never had this. However I was talking with my friend one day about how this couldve happened while we were playing GoW3 and it hit me. Im guessing that the Swarm are actually a hybrid of the Locust and the Lambent/Imulsion. Now when Adam fired up his machine he said "It will break down every Imulsion infected cell on Sera" or roughly along those lines, key word breakdown, not destroy but breakdown. The Locust wouldve been largely exposed to Imulsion over the years and thus had large quantities of their cells infected but also Imulsion was also part of their creation to begin with so it wouldve been oart of them already hence why they were so easy to infect. My theory is that when the machine went off since it was somehow targeting Imulsion infected cells only that it broke part of the Locust DNA sequence too, leaving a "gap" in it, and when the machine fired since it was breaking down the Imulsion cells, parts of its DNA sequence mixed in with Locust ones. Now not this wouldnt happen with every Locust but good amount, hence why it took 25 years for the Swarm to surface because most likely the number of Locust that had this happen to them were low compared to their original population and they had to build up their forces again, and why Scions (which were Locust in the Swarm) were fewer in number than typical Swarm drones. In addition, if combined the Imulsion/Lambent DNA that would explain why they have the ability to create these massive fleshy creatures and structures, because the original Locust never could do this but we see in GoW3 the various Lambent mutations that give a variety of different forms (Stalks, Dredges, Polyps, etc.). Plus combines with the Locust hive mind which they already had with the queen this may allow them to shape these forms with much more control than having random mutations like the Lambent. That's my theory anyway, when I told my friend he kinda had an omg dude, that just blew my mind moment haha
I thought Adam's machine would breakdown both Lambent and Locust cells (considering 3 was the last that cliff worked on)? I like your theory as I thought the exact same but with a twist. Instead of the "new" locust having too little forces, what if the majority of them were just evolving like you see in gears 4? That 25 years was spent with the lambent and Locust DNA combining to make a force that could go against what the lambent DNA has recorded (Ill assume the lambent could record experiences in their DNA)?
I'd really love for you to cover The Reapers from Mass Effect and their conversion process
Last thing I wanted was a random jump scare from sleep paralysis at 11:30PM, thanks Roanoke
Nice video !
The only time I had anything close to sleep paralysis, I forced myself to scream. My body went into panic overdrive, though.
4:43 nah chief you took away my sleep one night with that clip not twice
What was it?
A Commenter the one where that old lady is in bed and looks too her right and sees a fucking nightmare demon turning off the lamp
I've noticed pods change appearance depending on how old they are. I've also noticed that the pods that have nothing in them and the pods that do look exactly the same. So I had the idea that maybe not all humans can be mutated into into swarm and some are just broken down and can't be mutated correctly.
Here's a nice experiment for you:
Go to a relatively small room in your building with a large mirror. Stand before the mirror and turn the light off. Leave the door to this room open just a hair - just enough to let a minuscule amount of light in. Just enough to barely let you see your silhouette. Minimize movement and sound.
Allow at least ten minutes or so watching yourself in that mirror. For most folks it won't take that long before you see things that will make you bolt. Your mind, to keep you "safe" may create imagery that is designed to keep you on edge. It's evolution, baby.
Always love your content but, monster hunter I think would bang on this channel, lots of monsters with very interesting mechanics
True
"With the person melted, only one important thing remands."
Me: Shit?
"The Nervous System."
Me: Oh...
Shortly before being knocked unconscious, I image the captured Serans did indeed sh*t themselves :P
Another interesting thing about the imago stage of swarm drones is they sort of seem very for lack of a better word savage and dumb because they don’t really have any higher tactical ability after changing except knowing how to use guns and honestly I feel they work off of genetic instinct (point end towards enemy and pull trigger) given how still very soft they are. Given enough time imagos can harden and become far smarter as they go on and there’s a far more interesting question of what dictate an imago turning into a drone, Grenadier, or hunter given how physically they almost seem to take on roles the way ants have workers, soldiers and breeders
the amount of times i have been affected by sleep paralysiz is insane. especially when i was on sleeping meds which made me sleep for 16 hours sometimes if i could. but i would basically go into that state multiple times a night/day. also sometimes i would constantly flick between that state and normal sleep like basically go from wanting to scream cuz i would see shit move towards me or simply due to the feeling of being kinda freaked out from a dream or so but being unable to move or truly wake up to then like sleeping soundly have awesome dreams but mostly nightmares which made me go into Sleep Paralysiz again.. it's freaky as hell and i am glad that i am no longer on those pills it doesn't happen as frequently but once a year or so now.
Have you ever considered studying some of the enemies in dark souls? I think you'd have a field day with all the mutations and monstrosities to find in those games
honestly the best lore youtube in youtube
mean you basicly said what happens to a catapiller to a butterfly with just a little sifi thrown in aswell as the mind stuff
so sounds good :)
Gotta disagree with the subdue and tentacle bit. Oscar managed to cut its way out of a snatcher at the end of gears 4 and escape. Still great vid tho x
Imagine this man as a teacher talking about all these video subjects
Love you man
Rewatched because this video is actually entertaining unlike most youtubers
I wonder if its possible for those people that turned, to have their memories back or at least recognize that they are no longer human. Cause it has been studied with butterflies and moths, that they still have memories of when they were caterpillars. They did an experiment with a specific sound and tiny electric shocks on caterpillars. When they were adults they would do the same sound and all butterflies and moths that would get shocked would fly around crazy trying to get away while those that weren't stayed still and weren't freaking out. So if the humans can introduce some sort of device to the pods that cut off the connection to the hive and brought out old memories, could that be enough to turn those who became loctus to the human side?
*Locust
And also, I think you mean swarm, not locust. Locust were the enemies in gears 1-3. Good idea though.
@@CAceDubz sorry, never really played any gears of war games, but whenever I come across vids like this I like to watch them
@@ejperez3691 No need to apologize bro, your idea is really good. I hope the Coalition adds it in Gears 6. Do you mind me reposting this on a forum so The Coalition would know?
@@CAceDubz Go ahead I dont mind, it would be very awesome if this idea does get added
@@ejperez3691 Thank you so much, bro.
Yeah I’ve waken up before and couldn’t move. It happens to me sometimes but I don’t panic as much anymore. I still try to move but it’s no use.
Gonna give this another watch. Hope you do some more Dead By Daylight streams.
I was originally watching it at night and cuz of you messaging sleep paralysis and showing that creepy picture I did not slept at all it's now morning at a time when I finish watching this video
I really don’t mind re-watching re uploads for Monetization.
I cannot look at the “Prime Minister Bot” without bursting out laughing. Who though it was a good idea to make the villain a tiny lady whose face gets stretched by the Bot’s display screen lol
Eyy it’s me wus kraken I played dbd with u last round that was epic, r u gonna stream dbd soon tho
Gotta repost this: Snatchers are Sleep Paralysis Demons *CONFRIMED* by Sir. Mr. Dr. Professor Roanoke 2020
Excellent quality and in-depth analysis. Wonder if the process interrupted in a different manner now that we have Kait who can pseudo control the swarm would change things. As if, what if she instructed the pods to not brainwash the person during the process of the transformation or strip away their personalities and memories, so that at the end of it all, they were still "them" but with a new body? Would they commit suicide at the thought of it? I'd assume so because you've had everything taken away from you. I'd be sending Swarm drones like that out to fight because it'd be demoralizing as hell to know this the fate awaiting for you both to the enemy and my own troops if they fail me to drive that fear into them. I bring it up because it's odd they'd specifically showcase the incomplete process.
Hey Roanoke would you do an analysis on the zeds of killing floor.
They're completely man made and cloned so i think it would be interesting to see your interpretations of the zeds
The Locusts were originally born from humans, so it isn't a big jump for them to work out a way to change humans into Locust. They were probably working on this from the very beginning: They hadn't been capturing humans just for slave labor, *they were gathering test subjects.* They didn't use it before for two reasons: Their explosive breeding rate gave them plenty of numbers, and the conversion process wasn't perfect. Even now, it seems to be a 50/50 shot at best.
For those want to know where the jump scare came from its just a clip from a short movie where a helpful demon reminds a woman to shut off her lights to save electricity.
Look for Lights Out the short film not the longer one.
why the hell did I watch this at night, the sleep paralysis part where it showed that woman with the eyes freaking made me look around my room I swear
Lately I been stopping myself from that paralyzed state while sleeping and I don’t why my brain doesn’t want me to go through it. Strange 🤷🏽♂️
When TH-cam screws over Roanoke n you get to watch the video n like it again
"Ah shit here we go again"
Roanoke what do you think about the snatcher from gears of war? How would you explain it opening its stomach and holding people in it
I never touched gears 4, but it is pretty neat how they scaled up a similar metamorphic process actual insects use to human size; and yes despite the insides being goo-ified similar to this process, scientists tested the memory of several cocoon based insects with the few stimuli that the bugs could process and remember and confirmed their nerve cluster/brain was indeed intact in this seemingly destructive process. I'm actually surprised more entomology parallels weren't made in the video actually.
Well I got once a similar situation when I had high fever. My brain just thought about a strange unlocical thing at the highest end of that living nightmare my body fell into sleep by some kinda thing. As I woke up I got sweat everywhere
snatcher: somebody had a dirty mind and got it through XD
Man, I remember my most terrifying experience with sleep paralysis... I was being eaten alive by a nosalis from the Metro games, and every time it took a bite out of me my eyes would close slightly, however every time I hit it or knocked it away from my body my eyes would open a little. Eventually, I beat it after enough hits resulting in my eyes opening fully which resulted in me fully waking up, however what truly terrifies me is wondering what would've happened to me should I have lost that battle and were my eyes to close fully.
Nothing. Sleep paralysis blends your waking body and your dream state. SP events feel like they last for ages when in reality they last seconds at most. They're just nightmares.
I have a question, are you gonna make anything from Subnautica. Its my favourite game that really interested me in biology.
Idk, piercing the back of the brain stem or anything to do with direct contact/disruption of the brainstem would cause immediate organ failure/death. Your brainstem only controls your involuntary nervous system, so the snatchers would most likely target other parts of your brain that control your motor movements/ more advanced parts of our brain cuz it would be counter productive to touch/effect the brainstem in anywY
pitch black in my bed room, thanks Roanoke
4:24 I have those bedsheets :D
Nice!
Still curious as to how all the varying, unrelated, species that were in the Locust army, as basically warbeasts, got merged into the Swarm's life cycle all from imulsion being killed in their cells. Unlikely, but hoping Gears 6 dives into that
The jump scare made my heart skip a beat
Gears has some of the best body horror out, damn
hey a scaled down flood infection vs. swarm, GO!
Thanks for the jump scare
I've never fully the terror of sleep paralysis. I had it happen to me once but nothing scary happened.
I opened my eyes and found myself completely unable to move, I glanced around and felt a weight on my legs like something was there but nothing was, looking to one side my fan seemed way too close to my face to be real and as I looked around the room the shadows seemed a lot darker and more imposing than usual but the little part of my brain that is always eager to scientifically analyze everything into submission kicked on and went "OMG IT'S SLEEP PARAlYSIS! Awesome! I always wondered what this would be like! Okay start looking at everything!"
And I started looking around at stuff and just as I was starting to make observations and commit stuff to memory I had a wave of sleepiness come over me and I fell back into regular sleep.
When I woke up properly I had apparently been laying on my arm wrong cause it was completely numb and kinda cold and felt like rubber or latex. I could still move it at the shoulder but below that nope. Feeling did eventually return though. Still though, it wasn't a terrifying experience. Odd and unique but I snuffed out my brain's chance to surround me with nightmares by overanalyzing the experience.
2:25 in the escape mode you can play as a cog soldier and you don’t get knocked out
Because you have adrenaline injectors
I’ve had sleep paralysis episodes many times. It used to fuck with me but now, it’s happened so many times, I just go with it and see what happens. I usually hear 2 or 3 guys or something like a shadow demon/monster saying fucked up evil shit and walking around the house breaking stuff. I’ve gotten more lucid control of it over time and can wake myself out of it but I like to hang out in the “dream” for a while and check it out. Melatonin has triggered it a bunch of times and I’ll randomly take some to see if I can trigger it.
4:44 scared the absolute shit out of me
When I have sleep paralysis I can't move and what ever it is screams at the side of my face crazy
Very similar to how a caterpillar breaks down in a chrysalis
I think this theory is disproven in the new hive gametype in the new gears game where a soldier puts on a rebreather and just bursts out of the pod in the hive.
4:44 Jesus, I've never had a sleep paralysis demon that human.
I realize I'm paralyzed every time. Living hell. Completely locked up, can't speak... all you can do is hope you draft into sleep quickly for those last 15 or 20 minutes
Hey Roanoke, will you do the transformation from human to Warframe with the infested strain?
I wonder if the swarm will start to learn to avoid or counter the Hivebuster Elites?
Just one more video before sleep and it had to be this one :(
I just realized this now after awhile that the humanity on sera is becoming a subspecies from what the original human was and the transformations is alot easy to do then humans on earth
Whenever my sleep paralysis demon comes out he asks if we have Oreos
i wasn't paying attention and i looked back at 4:40.
Holy fuck i remember as a child i got sleep paralysis and saw some black figure sitting on my chest
Can you do a vid explaining the hev suit from half life?
