With robo blood effects.
I still can’t believe that Optimus Prime, the goodest of good guys, fucking ripped Megatron’s head and spine out of his body and then shot a man in the back of the head while he begged for his life.
@@alenor210 Not only that, he ripped Megatron's head and spine out of his body less than a minute after Megatron saved Optimus from being executed himself.
Fun fact: the scene where Megatron sits in the Lincoln Memorial is lifted straight from the original cartoon, except in the cartoon he just lifts Lincoln out of the chair whereas in the movie Megatron pulls a John Wilkes Booth
Ironically, like the assassin, he doesn't live much longer after desecrating Lincoln. I bet as his head was ripped off, Megatron thought of his body as "Useless..." Lol. Sorry, I was trying to be somewhat clever. I guess I was not.
A few other plot elements are lifted from the cartoon - for example, the Autobots being exiled by rocket, then being thought to have been killed by the Decepticons was from Megatron's Master Plan (although in that episode, the intended method of killing was to program the rocket into the sun).
The funniest thing about Optimus point-blank executing seminal prime is that he doesn’t just hit him once, he goes in for a double tap. Man really wanted grandpa dead
I still can’t get over the fact that Optimus Prime, a cartoon character made to sell toys to children, tore Megatron’s head off with an axe if it were God Of War, and then proceeded to blow Sentinel Prime’s head open with a shotgun as he was begging for mercy…. This franchise is wild
To be fair these aren’t the cartoon versions of negation and sentinel they have murdered thousands and was bout to end life to human so I see Optimus as just cause he didn’t start out this brutal it was progression
"What if he's actually like really racist?" It's funny you say that, actually, because in one of the tie-in comics for this movie right before he kills Ironhide (or after, I don't remember) he says something about how he never liked his "kind", since Ironhide was mentioned previously as essentially being a different sub-type of Cybertronian. So in other words, yes, Sentinel Prime is racist.
It made me remember when RedLetterMedia made that video where Mike, Rich and Jay watched the first three Transformers simultaneously. The trio's reaction to that scene is glorious.
i love how the entire second half of this video is just Marcus literally shaking in his seat with laughter while Dan stares with wide eyed disbelief at the movie’s bewildering series of events.
Optimus was fackin right to kill sentinel prime, he literally brought sentinel back to life and sentinel repaid that by killing ironhide and killing thousands of people, so whats your point? He should have not killed sentinel even though he betrayed optimus???
Its very weird how optimus always calls them a "peaceful race" when they were literally an isolationist slave state that was genociding the low class cybertronians.
I've been trying to tell my friends for YEARS, this movie is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. I'll still never get over Optimus Prime, hero and role model for kids for decades, walking into frame and boldly proclaiming "We will kill them all" while pumping a shotgun. Also I always tried to imagine how brutal these kills would look if they were humans, I'm glad Marcus picked up on that.
@@mr.cranker8086 I barely remember anything from this movie after the first hour, I don't remember Optimus brutally killing everyone but now it's hilarious.
My favorite thing about this movie is when my friend's sister asked, 100% genuinely, if they had to rebuild the city after filming it. She was a full grown adult
Unfortunately there are a very large number of people who are truly dumb. There's a channel called Fleccas Talks that occasionally goes out and asks people extremely basic questions. Granted it's only showing the wrong answers, but holy shit it's horrifying. If you ever think you are stupid, just watch videos like that.
God this video is easily a 10/10, so many hilarious quotes: “We’ve been democratically voted off the planet” “There are no days off in Megatron’s regime” The Decepticon being ripped apart like the demon from Smiling Friends People’s clothes lying around like they were killed by Cell Truly a classic.
@@personafanatic4597 Uh, your husband might want to think of a more specific name since that description applies to basically *every* Michael Bay movie.
Yeah like the other two movies ends with a long hopeful monologue and this one just fucking ends. Like the bad guys are death, the end. Now leave the theater.
Optimus Prime: “Peace and justice will always prevail. We must work towards building a better future, not just for ourselves, but for all who will follow in our footsteps.” Also Optimus Prime: **fucking executes a defenseless non-combatant in cold blood**
Transformers: Dark of the Moon a movie that's fun for the whole family! Only the most wholesome examples of murdering POWs, ripping enemy combatants limb from limb, and executing old people in the streets. Remember its all ok because they're just silly robots
Compared to the IDW comic run, yeah this is tame. In IDW they had mass genocides, torture, cannibalism, and that's being done on both sides. Also the war started in the film more or less the sameway in the comic, with Megatron being a miner turned philosopher and gladiator leading the oppressed Cybertronians to rise against their high council, who were being protected by the Autobots.
Transformers 3 is honestly the most violent PG-13 movie i can think of. There's so many deaths where it makes you question "how did this get pass the test screenings?"
You can get away with the most violent shit imaginable if you make the things getting killed robots megatron getting an axe lodged into his face then having his head removed with his spine attached would bump the movies rating to 18+ if he were a human
What's funny about the ending of this film is that apparently it wsnt the original ending. The novelization, which is based on the script at the time, ends it with Optimus only killing Sentinel, and not only he is more conflicted about it, but him and Megatron even decide to end the war with a truce because they are both just done with the fighting. There is even a little jab at the usual characterization of Optimus when he goes "unlike you, I wont kill someone who is looking for peace" when Megatron tries to goad Optimus to try killing him for a moment.
It’s honestly kinda sad how badly the movie turned out, the original draft actually leaked a few years back and had things like Megatron actually talking with Optimus about how far they had both fallen before teaming up with with him to try and save both planets. It’s a shame we’ll never get to see how that story panned out.
I mean, the movies *are* being rebooted (starting with the Bumblebee movie), if the people behind the movies smart enough and caring enough, we may actually see something like that!
Didn't the Decepticon faction originate from transformers who wanted to abolish an oppressive caste system that put the value of a life on the usefulness of their alternate form? I mean ok the conquering thing is bad but casteism is fucked up broh I wouldn't be rooting for the Autoboys too easily
That's cause Julie White is a great comedic actor and is doing the best she can with the dredge bay writes for her I wouldn't be surprised if she improv'd that
@@Master10k2 Chicagoans just minding their day: this is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals. Thanks Optimus for making our crime rate go up by 5% by including cybertronian war crimes
Fun fact: Original ending had Sentinel dying in combat, with Optimus and Megatron agreeing to a truce. The decepticons leave to rebuild, and autobots officially call earth their new home. Seriously, it was even in the novelization. But I guess Optimus' bloodthirst was too incredible to be ignored
Watching Optimus blow Sentinels brains out while he's begging for his life always make me laugh hysterically. It's so ridiculously out of character compared to other incarnations of him,Micheal Bay turned him into a remorseless sociopath and I love it.
Same with Megatrons line before "what would you be without me" had me so ready for like an optimus/Megatron fighting together scene but then optimus just slices him in half lol
My favorite part is when he's fighting Megatron, Starscream, and Grindor in the forest and he yells at the top of his freaking robot lungs: "I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" That's definitely the Optimus I remember from the cybertron cartoon I grew up with lmfao
@@doemdirty2061 Yep, my mistake. There's another instance where he shouts what I said but its against a horde of decepticons. I think it's the fourth movie when they retrieve the dinobots for the China battle now that I'm thinking about it.
In this one movie you have: 1) An entire city getting destroyed and its civilians massacred. 2) Robots getting publicly executed by firing squads. 3) Robots dying violent deaths, like getting their heads blown off from bombs in their eyes, getting torn limb by limb etc. 4) Optimus just decapitating Megatron and then domes Sentinel twice in the head as he begs for his life.
Mind you that the entire city gets demolished over the course of like 6 quick cuts. Like half of the movie is this akward expositional slog and then before turning into its own trailer for a minute and the entire city of chicago is leveled lmao.
The transformers fandom as a whole has just accepted these movies are over the top hilarious garbage so it’s nice to know no one is getting offended by these videos
Fun fact, Laser beak is an actual Decepticon that acts as Soundwave's pet/friend. He is extremally loyal and acts more like a bird and doesn't talk in the original series.
Another fun fact, in the OG marvel comics, Laser Beak once ran the whole Decepticons after a power play for leadership. then started the car wash of doom.
@@ltb1345 No, Buzzsaw is a genuine golden version of Laserbeak. He's just so unknown. I literally only found out about his existence through Transformers Devastation
I don't know why, but everyone in the Transformers films slowly devolves over the course of the series into a bunch of violent psychopaths, and I think this film was the tipping point. It's such a weird trend for a franchise to take, especially for fucking _Transformers._
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 I think the specific moment is when Optimus Prime shows up and says "We'll kill them all" as the Autobots pull a decepticon apart.
Fun fact originally this movie was going to end with a truce between optimus and Megatron and Megatron would go back to cybertron to try to rebuild it but that ending got changed because a listing for the comic adaptation spoiled it months in advance
@@superxavxii421 The best bet is the animated Cybertron film being made about Optimus/Orion Pax and Megatrons friendship so hopefully that is basically that.
I mentioned this video to a friend yesterday by talking about how crazy the War Crimes were in this movie and we were both surprised that "War Crime" wasn't just a Decepticon's name lmao
That’s be so fucking funny if that’s how Decepticons were named, just after abhorrent moral atrocities. Like ones called Ethnic Cleansing and the other is called Holocaust
My favourite part of this whole movie is that Megatron saves Optimus who was absolutely gonna die by Sentinel's hands (who is the one essentially instigating everything that's happened during this movie) and then says we need to call for a truce and end the war and Optimus just says nah and proceeds to decapitate him like he's in Mortal goddamn Kombat.
Megatron literally says "this is my planet" as he beats up Sentinel. There's no way he was going to leave humanity and the Autobots alone after he made the truce with Optimus. He did in the other ending, but I'm pretty sure it had him doing other stuff that made him seem more redeemable.
"He says that they're a peaceful race; I don't believe that from anyone with built-in guns in their biology." It's implied in Transformers Prime that their weapons aren't built-in, but installed. The Seson 1 finale starts a 3-episode series where Optimus loses his memory as leader of the Autobots, and is manipulated by Megatron to become a Decepticon. Eventually, he realized they're full of shit, and when Vehicons (Depticon cannon fodder) start kicking the shit out of him, he accidently pulls out his guns and goes, "I'm... armed?" Though considering this is a Bay film, they probably are built-in in the movies. Edit: I love these replies, especially the ones pointing out that this "peaceful race" does infact come out of the womb guns blazing in the movies.
Well, he wasn't manipulated... Orion Pax WAS a Decepticon back when Megatron fought for the freedom of slaves and didn't do purple space drugs. Edit: That's why Knockout says "Welcome back to the winning team" implying his return. not to mention it's explicitly stated in the comics.
@@michaelnally2841 TF Prime was the first in the line of new continuities which all followed the same origin of the war that even Bayformers did. That being the fact that it started with a revolutionary miner turned gladiator naming himself after the fallen Prime Megatronus. Bayformers has its own comic series exclusively for it, which expands on the universe, like how Megatron used to be a very reasonable and peace loving bot and his eventual descent to madness.
@@electricfeverx976 I know I watched it but I mean in terms of continuity outside of some design choices the backstory, and some of the same voice actors it has almost no connections to bay formers and it tells its story much better, and had Optimus and Megatron arguably at their best.
Optimus in G1: *Hesitates in killing a Decepticon pleading for their life, as he values lives of even enemies to a degree* Optimus in Bayformers: *executes a pleading Decepticon without hesitation*
Sentinel was too dangerous to be left alive. He deserved to perish after causing the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Chicago and not to mention he brutally murdered Ironhide.
14:22 he is actually, in the DOTM comic adaptation, Sentinel remarks that he "never really liked (Ironhide's) kind". In the movie's prequel comic, it's explained that Ironhide was a "Thetacon", a kind of tribal Cybertronian.
6:17 Thanks for pointing this out! He's a background character in so much stuff. One show that I saw him in was Chuck, and he actually got a speaking role in the finale lol.
I’ve noticed him on Nickelodeon shows, Spider-Man, and this movie. I remember thinking why is he in all of these movies? And he always got like a shot all to himself or that he was a very primary focus on
Actually as i think about it thats probably largely because marvel keeps trying to put cgi on ppl, while these movies use the cgi almost exclusively to create entirely cg robots that only ever look like robots or like, inanimate objects. Its gotta be way harder to make convincing cgi nanobot armor or whatever
@@leaffinite2001 Very true, and whenever CGI is layered over people in these movies it looks a lot worse so I guess they just chose to avoid that as much as possible
My favorite part of Transformers: Dark of the Moon is when Optimus kills the Decepticon helping him, and then double-taps a begging old man with a shotgun.
He hates Megatron and does it because Megatron wants a truce not peace. He wants to fight later on and kill others in the process. In the second movie when Megatron wants to sacrifice Sam for the matrix. Megatron says what’s one life for our people. Optimus calls him out on his shit and says you’ll never stop at one and knows Megatron is dangerous. That’s why he kills him when he can. He knows he’s full of shit. He kills Sentinel for betraying him and killing ironhide
@@alexanderguerrero347 ah yes, revenge. truly the best reason to murder your prisoners of war. there's a BIG difference between stopping the bad guy, and fucking executing him in cold blood.
I’ve said it before, but Dark of the Moon is a guilty pleasure movie for me. It’s a C+ movie for me. The first half is absolutely awful, but once the freeway chase scene happens, I thoroughly enjoy the chaos from there on out.
“So called hero murdered the one who saved his life” yeah. The “so called hero” who saved earth 5 fucking times because the “one who saved his life” tried to destroy it 5 fucking times.
The Decepticons also literally are just trying to go home. After a millennia long uphill battle against fascists, saving his old friend and betrayer, Megatron just gets his head pulled out by him.
"They can't re-build without a slave labour force" - Shows Cybertron re-building itself automatically - Shows the Decepticons massacring people in Chicago for no reason - Not a single scene of the Decepticons actually capturing humans to be used as slaves - What re-building would humans even do on Cybertron? Can humans even survive on it? It doesn't look like it has an atmosphere.
In the novelisation (I believe), Sentinel says something along the lines of "I never liked their kind" after shooting Ironhide. This is in reference to how Ironhide, in these movies, was a part of a race of more tribal/primitive Cybertronians. So yeah, Sentinel is a space racist.
You’d be surprised how many stupid shit people call these movies out for are from the cartoons, like the mass execution of all the transformers and random new ones appearing with no build up or reason how they got there
I just realized at 10:27, that was genuine anger Shia LaBeouf was letting out at that moment for all the agony that he’s had to go through making these movies😂
The fandom's reaction to bumblebee was like if someone was being starved for 30 years straight and then got fed a little stale mcdonalds french fry. How much can you really complain?
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 to basically explain Bumblebee's continuity: The movie was originally being developed as a prequel to the Micheal Bay Transformers movies. After the financial underperformance of Transformers the Last Knight, Paramount decided go rework the movie into a reboot of the franchise.
Bumblebee is that movie you love the first time cause of the Cybertron scene, but then the day after you struggle to remember anything else beyond that point
"We are a peaceful race..." *Proclaims he's going to kill everyone as he watches his men literally draw and quarter a defeated Decepticon with their bare hands instead of using one of the many weapons they all have built into their bodies.* Okay, Optimus
And once again we watch Optimus Prime’s decent into sociopathy deepen as the stress of fighting a war for thousands of years that has cost him his home and countless comrades strips away his morality, forcing him to greater and greater acts of violence, compromising his capacity for mercy in an endless struggle against an enemy that threatens to push him beyond his limits and force him to abandon his morals in a desperate hope he will still be the lesser evil. In this episode we watch a crucial moment in his story as his mentor betrays everything he thought he believed in, challenging Optimus in a way no other foe ever could and cementing that there is indeed no way back from everything he has seen and experienced and that the struggle of Optimus Prime to retain himself in a world that only seeks to break him in mind body and spirit is far from over.
And what’s sad for DOTM is that in the original ending, Optimus and Megatron have a ceasefire together. Megatron and Optimus working together to stop Sentinel and having a ceasefire was logical. Not blaming it on Bay though; it was actually Amazon and Paramount’s fault.
Does it make sense? Megatron wants nothing more than to bring his homeworld back. Yeah, Sentinal fucks him over and he has the motivation to kill him but he has no motivation in stopping the invasion.
The movie’s crap with or without that more logical ending, so I’m totally fine with getting batshit crazy dishonorable Optimus instead. At least that’s really entertaining.
@@bebo2629 According to the novelization, which is a tie-in to the original ending to DOTM, all the destruction he had bought to restore Cybertron has, in reality, brought him nothing, with him and his Decepticons enslaving others. Now he wants to do the hard work with the Decepticons, by flying back to Cybertron and rebuilding it piece by piece.
Optimus in literally any other version: "We are a peacefull race , but we will fight if we must." Bayverse Optimus: "Your free trial on life has expired."
Actually it’s the same idea. It’s a planet invasion he’s going up against. When has that ever not been brutal? The avengers were justified after raiding thanos’ home after the infinity war ended, just to then decapitate a defenseless and wounded thanos right on the spot. You can complain about war crimes all you want, but when talking about a planet invasion, that stuff is irrelevant. Also, tactically speaking, Optimus has admitted that his autobots were “overmatched and outnumbered”. The fact that the decepticons themselves also commit “war crimes”, the autobots should might as well give up at that point because there is no cartoon speech Optimus can give to win the war
and I still wonder... why? They won, the Autobits were voted off planet and the world was handing itself over to the Decpticons. So... why invade Chicago?
You know that stereotypes are kinda true when you see the success of these films. Bay literally took what men like: cars, robots, spies, hot chicks, obsessive slo-mo and battles; threw it in a movie and bam: Transformers.
@@fupoflapo2386 To me only the first movie was good and enjoyable. You know… it came out in 2007 or so, it had a cool idea and good CGI for the time. After the first they repeated the Megatron-Optimus formula in every film, it’s astonishing. But we deserve this shit: 5 billion at the box office, with 1.1 billion of costs. It’s literally a money machine, with 2 other film programmed (2023, 2024).
I wish they brought up the parts where Starscream dies after somebody sticks a spike grenade in his eye and the standard anti-transformer strategy used by infantry is sniping out the eyes so other troopers can blow off their legs. This movie is a fuckin war film using transformers and I kinda love it.
Sam Witwicky went from hating being a loser in the first movie, to resenting the attention Bumblebee brought him in the sequel, to then hating that his previous involvement in saving the world didnt translate to job offers in this one. Its like an anti-arc
Funfact! In the novelization of the movie, Megatron basically has enough of the war after beating up Sentinel and Optimus DOESN'T murder him in cold blood and they stop the war.
Seeing Sam calling bumblebee collector's item and then freaking out and screaming at the cops is definitely one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a movie
14:25 Marcus said “Oh My god not my favorite…autobot” I started dying because he Ironhide (the one who was shot) actually was my brothers’ favorite and he screamed when he was shot 😂
It's sad because to thats probably the average reaction of any average audience member. Bay didn't do enough to make the characters distinct and memorable. We fans know them, but everyone else only knows Megatron, Bumblebee and Optimus.
Im not gonna like i was lowkey sad they were tearing this one up because i thought this one was the good one out the whole franchise. Damn i didnt know how dumb it really is😭😭😭😭😭
@@bizuko2307 I remember as a kid, when Bee and Wheeljack we're about to get executed I was like "NOO NOT BUMBLEBEE". Now I'm here laughing my ass off at this scene.
It's crazy that there is like... an underlying narrative here that would be super compelling if it wasnt such a fucking insane batshit psycho movie, about how idealism can be turned into radical fanaticism and how you can lose yourself in the horrors of war and how the innocent are always the first to suffer.
To be fair by this point Optimus is tired of Megatron. Like Optimus realizes letting megatron goes means future battles so he chooses to kill him to end it.
@@line4169 I havent watched in a long time, I think I stopped once Erin turns into a titan or whatever, at the point I stopped the message seemed like, "sometimes shit is scary but when there is an existential threat you have to be brave and stand up to it"
I still think until this day centinel was asking for mercy in vane but man..... Seeing optimus picking up the shotgun as he says that kills me, its open to such a wrong interpretation xf
I just wanna say something about the "People still at work" bit. It would be kinda hard to walk outside while robots are literally slaughtering anyone who is unfortunate enough to be on the streets.
Dark of the Moon is unironically the best out of the Bayformers movies. An actually sympathetic motive for the villains (wanting to revive Cybertron), plot twists, dark tone when things get serious, etc.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon a movie that's fun for the whole family! Only the most wholesome examples of murdering POWs, ripping enemy combatants limb from limb, and executing old people in the streets. Remember its all ok because they're just silly robots

I'm fairly certain the robot at 6:25 would freak some kids out though
Gotta love the fascist Autobot regime, killing those who desperately fight for freedom, those who have surrendered and tried to negotiate.
Compared to the IDW comic run, yeah this is tame. In IDW they had mass genocides, torture, cannibalism, and that's being done on both sides. Also the war started in the film more or less the sameway in the comic, with Megatron being a miner turned philosopher and gladiator leading the oppressed Cybertronians to rise against their high council, who were being protected by the Autobots.

What's funny about the ending of this film is that apparently it wsnt the original ending.
The novelization, which is based on the script at the time, ends it with Optimus only killing Sentinel, and not only he is more conflicted about it, but him and Megatron even decide to end the war with a truce because they are both just done with the fighting.
There is even a little jab at the usual characterization of Optimus when he goes "unlike you, I wont kill someone who is looking for peace" when Megatron tries to goad Optimus to try killing him for a moment.
Why couldn’t we have that movie?!

It’s honestly kinda sad how badly the movie turned out, the original draft actually leaked a few years back and had things like Megatron actually talking with Optimus about how far they had both fallen before teaming up with with him to try and save both planets. It’s a shame we’ll never get to see how that story panned out.
I mean, the movies *are* being rebooted (starting with the Bumblebee movie), if the people behind the movies smart enough and caring enough, we may actually see something like that!

Didn't the Decepticon faction originate from transformers who wanted to abolish an oppressive caste system that put the value of a life on the usefulness of their alternate form? I mean ok the conquering thing is bad but casteism is fucked up broh I wouldn't be rooting for the Autoboys too easily

The novel got leaked, and they decided to change the ending at the last second

Watching Optimus blow Sentinels brains out while he's begging for his life always make me laugh hysterically. It's so ridiculously out of character compared to other incarnations of him,Micheal Bay turned him into a remorseless sociopath and I love it.
Same with Megatrons line before "what would you be without me" had me so ready for like an optimus/Megatron fighting together scene but then optimus just slices him in half lol

In this one movie you have:
1) An entire city getting destroyed and its civilians massacred.
2) Robots getting publicly executed by firing squads.
3) Robots dying violent deaths, like getting their heads blown off from bombs in their eyes, getting torn limb by limb etc.
4) Optimus just decapitating Megatron and then domes Sentinel twice in the head as he begs for his life.
Based
Mind you that the entire city gets demolished over the course of like 6 quick cuts. Like half of the movie is this akward expositional slog and then before turning into its own trailer for a minute and the entire city of chicago is leveled lmao.
The OG ending was Optimus Prime making a truce with Megatron and they helped re-construct Cybertron.
Lowkey sounds like a better ending

The hilarious part is that every time he said "Is that John Malkovich?!" The character _did_ slightly resemble John Malkovich
I mentioned this video to a friend yesterday by talking about how crazy the War Crimes were in this movie and we were both surprised that "War Crime" wasn't just a Decepticon's name lmao
That’s be so fucking funny if that’s how Decepticons were named, just after abhorrent moral atrocities. Like ones called Ethnic Cleansing and the other is called Holocaust
Honestly, this is a good TF name. Lots of Transformers are just two cool names but together. (Ironhide, Blackout, Cliffjumper, Knockout, etc)
In the Transformers franchise as a whole all of the best characters have committed several pages worth of war crimes, especially in the comics.
That should be Flamewar's new name if Hasbro loses the copyright, lol.
Fun Fact: This is Leonard Nimoy’s second transformers movie he’s in. He played Galvatron in the 1986 animated movie.
That's awesome, that man was a gift to the universe
i wish he could've played Galvatron in the bumblebeeverse...
He's also Michael Bay's cousin (though marriage)
My favourite part of this whole movie is that Megatron saves Optimus who was absolutely gonna die by Sentinel's hands (who is the one essentially instigating everything that's happened during this movie) and then says we need to call for a truce and end the war and Optimus just says nah and proceeds to decapitate him like he's in Mortal goddamn Kombat.
And what´s worse, an intact Megatron which would totally be at least an average fighter.
To be fair, this is Megatron we’re talking about. Even I would take the chance to get rid of him once and for all
Honestly Megatron isn't that redeemable to begin with.
Megatron literally says "this is my planet" as he beats up Sentinel. There's no way he was going to leave humanity and the Autobots alone after he made the truce with Optimus. He did in the other ending, but I'm pretty sure it had him doing other stuff that made him seem more redeemable.
23:30 “optimus is stuck in the web” had me dying laughing for a good five minutes straight
"He's a warmongering car-man. I'm actually kinda interested now."
How could another transformers film on picture show go wrong? Also lit seeing the new setup.
"He says that they're a peaceful race; I don't believe that from anyone with built-in guns in their biology."
It's implied in Transformers Prime that their weapons aren't built-in, but installed. The Seson 1 finale starts a 3-episode series where Optimus loses his memory as leader of the Autobots, and is manipulated by Megatron to become a Decepticon. Eventually, he realized they're full of shit, and when Vehicons (Depticon cannon fodder) start kicking the shit out of him, he accidently pulls out his guns and goes, "I'm... armed?"
Though considering this is a Bay film, they probably are built-in in the movies.
Edit: I love these replies, especially the ones pointing out that this "peaceful race" does infact come out of the womb guns blazing in the movies.
Well, he wasn't manipulated... Orion Pax WAS a Decepticon back when Megatron fought for the freedom of slaves and didn't do purple space drugs.
Edit: That's why Knockout says "Welcome back to the winning team" implying his return. not to mention it's explicitly stated in the comics.
@@DestroyerApollyon Decepticon faction was fully formed AFTER Megatron and Optimus parted ways.

@@michaelnally2841 TF Prime was the first in the line of new continuities which all followed the same origin of the war that even Bayformers did. That being the fact that it started with a revolutionary miner turned gladiator naming himself after the fallen Prime Megatronus.

@@electricfeverx976 I know I watched it but I mean in terms of continuity outside of some design choices the backstory, and some of the same voice actors it has almost no connections to bay formers and it tells its story much better, and had Optimus and Megatron arguably at their best.
Optimus in G1: *Hesitates in killing a Decepticon pleading for their life, as he values lives of even enemies to a degree*
Optimus in Bayformers: *executes a pleading Decepticon without hesitation*
And that’s why I’d rather follow bayverse prime

Yeah, TF movies always looks great with their CGI. It's always the story and character designs that fall flat on their face.
Its not like theyre making 10 transformers projects a year
Must be the military propaganda money
Actually as i think about it thats probably largely because marvel keeps trying to put cgi on ppl, while these movies use the cgi almost exclusively to create entirely cg robots that only ever look like robots or like, inanimate objects. Its gotta be way harder to make convincing cgi nanobot armor or whatever
@@leaffinite2001 Very true, and whenever CGI is layered over people in these movies it looks a lot worse so I guess they just chose to avoid that as much as possible
My favorite part of Transformers: Dark of the Moon is when Optimus kills the Decepticon helping him, and then double-taps a begging old man with a shotgun.
He hates Megatron and does it because Megatron wants a truce not peace. He wants to fight later on and kill others in the process. In the second movie when Megatron wants to sacrifice Sam for the matrix. Megatron says what’s one life for our people. Optimus calls him out on his shit and says you’ll never stop at one and knows Megatron is dangerous. That’s why he kills him when he can. He knows he’s full of shit. He kills Sentinel for betraying him and killing ironhide
He watched zombie land . Always double tap
@@alexanderguerrero347 ah yes, revenge. truly the best reason to murder your prisoners of war. there's a BIG difference between stopping the bad guy, and fucking executing him in cold blood.
I’ve said it before, but Dark of the Moon is a guilty pleasure movie for me. It’s a C+ movie for me. The first half is absolutely awful, but once the freeway chase scene happens, I thoroughly enjoy the chaos from there on out.
The second half in Chicago was super hyped. The human stuff with Sam was mostly the letdown
It looks like the writers just wanted to have fun, so he just started writing whatever.

Most transformer fans gloss over that too. It took me a while to realize it to honestly.

"They can't re-build without a slave labour force"
- Shows Cybertron re-building itself automatically
- Shows the Decepticons massacring people in Chicago for no reason
- Not a single scene of the Decepticons actually capturing humans to be used as slaves
- What re-building would humans even do on Cybertron? Can humans even survive on it? It doesn't look like it has an atmosphere.
14:22 “what if he’s really racist”
Sentinel: shoots the black bot first
In the novelisation (I believe), Sentinel says something along the lines of "I never liked their kind" after shooting Ironhide. This is in reference to how Ironhide, in these movies, was a part of a race of more tribal/primitive Cybertronians. So yeah, Sentinel is a space racist.

And once again we watch Optimus Prime’s decent into sociopathy deepen as the stress of fighting a war for thousands of years that has cost him his home and countless comrades strips away his morality, forcing him to greater and greater acts of violence, compromising his capacity for mercy in an endless struggle against an enemy that threatens to push him beyond his limits and force him to abandon his morals in a desperate hope he will still be the lesser evil. In this episode we watch a crucial moment in his story as his mentor betrays everything he thought he believed in, challenging Optimus in a way no other foe ever could and cementing that there is indeed no way back from everything he has seen and experienced and that the struggle of Optimus Prime to retain himself in a world that only seeks to break him in mind body and spirit is far from over.

And what’s sad for DOTM is that in the original ending, Optimus and Megatron have a ceasefire together. Megatron and Optimus working together to stop Sentinel and having a ceasefire was logical. Not blaming it on Bay though; it was actually Amazon and Paramount’s fault.
Yeah, the test audiences disliked that ending & it was changed. It later appeared in the novelisation.
@@ngultrum1 I don’t think it was the test audiences that caused them to change the ending. Reportedly, an Amazon system error was the reason why.
Does it make sense? Megatron wants nothing more than to bring his homeworld back. Yeah, Sentinal fucks him over and he has the motivation to kill him but he has no motivation in stopping the invasion.
The movie’s crap with or without that more logical ending, so I’m totally fine with getting batshit crazy dishonorable Optimus instead. At least that’s really entertaining.
@@bebo2629 According to the novelization, which is a tie-in to the original ending to DOTM, all the destruction he had bought to restore Cybertron has, in reality, brought him nothing, with him and his Decepticons enslaving others. Now he wants to do the hard work with the Decepticons, by flying back to Cybertron and rebuilding it piece by piece.
Optimus in literally any other version:
"We are a peacefull race , but we will fight if we must."
Bayverse Optimus:
"Your free trial on life has expired."
Actually it’s the same idea. It’s a planet invasion he’s going up against. When has that ever not been brutal? The avengers were justified after raiding thanos’ home after the infinity war ended, just to then decapitate a defenseless and wounded thanos right on the spot. You can complain about war crimes all you want, but when talking about a planet invasion, that stuff is irrelevant. Also, tactically speaking, Optimus has admitted that his autobots were “overmatched and outnumbered”. The fact that the decepticons themselves also commit “war crimes”, the autobots should might as well give up at that point because there is no cartoon speech Optimus can give to win the war

@M. Robinson The Primes: We have laws!
Megatron: We convinced your air force to join us.
Shout out to the dude that had a re-upload posted whilst Marcus fought hard to get this re-published
You know that stereotypes are kinda true when you see the success of these films. Bay literally took what men like: cars, robots, spies, hot chicks, obsessive slo-mo and battles; threw it in a movie and bam: Transformers.
And that's why it fell apart after the 3rd
Guns, don’t forget guns.
@@fupoflapo2386 To me only the first movie was good and enjoyable. You know… it came out in 2007 or so, it had a cool idea and good CGI for the time. After the first they repeated the Megatron-Optimus formula in every film, it’s astonishing. But we deserve this shit: 5 billion at the box office, with 1.1 billion of costs. It’s literally a money machine, with 2 other film programmed (2023, 2024).
@@fupoflapo2386 Personally at least its better than revenge of the fallen
@@PageMajor yeah it is
I wish they brought up the parts where Starscream dies after somebody sticks a spike grenade in his eye and the standard anti-transformer strategy used by infantry is sniping out the eyes so other troopers can blow off their legs.
This movie is a fuckin war film using transformers and I kinda love it.
screamers death was low key my favorite action scene even tho it was clearly written for Sam to look cool
I was hoping for that too, that death was morbid but funny considering that Screamer got killed by two fumbling humans
Kind of a fitting death for Starscream.
I imagine they react to it in the Patreon commentary
I remember seeing this movie in the theater. I walked out of that building feeling like I had just been through a lobotomy.
This is the kind of shit they'd play for Alex when he's getting Ludovico'd in A Clockwork Orange
Why would you go see this voluntarily?
@@donovanfaust3227 I was a young fool.
Sam Witwicky went from hating being a loser in the first movie, to resenting the attention Bumblebee brought him in the sequel, to then hating that his previous involvement in saving the world didnt translate to job offers in this one. Its like an anti-arc
It’s no heroes path(or journey) more like a hero pit fall
@@aerickmon3350 a hero's tumble
Marcus calling various strange and bizarre looking people “ghouls” is my favourite genre of TH-cam
Funfact! In the novelization of the movie, Megatron basically has enough of the war after beating up Sentinel and Optimus DOESN'T murder him in cold blood and they stop the war.
That was actually supposed to be the film ending, but test audiences disliked it. So it was changed.
@@ngultrum1 probably because the test screen audience didn’t watch the original transformers.
@@ngultrum1 lol wait so test audiences hated it because prime went for PEACE instead of MURDER?
I thought you were going to say that Megatron has enough of war then Optimus Prime murders him anyway.
@@ngultrum1 no it was because amazon leaked the ending via the comic adaptation, so michael bay rushed to reshoot the ending.
Man it's weird to see an actual set for Cosmonaut. I remember when picture show first started, it's been deceivingly long since that all started
Seeing Sam calling bumblebee collector's item and then freaking out and screaming at the cops is definitely one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a movie
Optimus is always like “yeah Cybertron used to be peaceful” but Cybertron has always been shitty
Cant have shit in Cybertron
14:25 Marcus said “Oh My god not my favorite…autobot” I started dying because he Ironhide (the one who was shot) actually was my brothers’ favorite and he screamed when he was shot 😂
It's sad because to thats probably the average reaction of any average audience member. Bay didn't do enough to make the characters distinct and memorable. We fans know them, but everyone else only knows Megatron, Bumblebee and Optimus.
@@superxavxii421 Yeah that plus the "who are you" at Ratchet at 26:58 really show that Bay did not do a good job designing the autobots lol.
@@MotionlessInWes he did a great job
Jazz was my favorite. . .
My mouth was to the floor when Megatron ripped him in 2 I was like 9 then and that scene alone stuck with me
I didn’t scream but he was my favorite character as a kid so it definitely hurt hard.
As someone who unironically love these movies, watching you two tear into them is still entertaining and hilarious. Idk how yall do it
Dude I’m exactly the same
Im not gonna like i was lowkey sad they were tearing this one up because i thought this one was the good one out the whole franchise. Damn i didnt know how dumb it really is😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly 💯😊 it was FUCKING rad and Awesome
@@Nowhats Yeah same here, because my brain be off on airplane mode
@@Nowhats I think this one is the best too
22:49
This is Bayhem, compared to the other movies this is the most Bayoss we've seen
*That's* better.👌🏻
Marcus you had me dying at all the execution scenes. I laughed so hard I cried.
Me too 😭😭 that shit was funny
I forgot that there were *multiple* executions in this movie, I was HOWLING, holy shit.
This sounds like such a psychotic statement out of context lol
@@bizuko2307 I remember as a kid, when Bee and Wheeljack we're about to get executed I was like "NOO NOT BUMBLEBEE". Now I'm here laughing my ass off at this scene.
It really does, im sorry, friend, lmafo @omegagaming609
This is my favorite series, the guest marcus really adds a lot to dan's show
I love that they just turn into full on war criminals for absolutely zero reason.
They're just there and lay water to a whole planet just because
"The Badgers! They are the Badgers! They are the ter-rorr-rists and like to eat bab-ies!"
The "NO, OPTIMUS!" will never fail to make me giggle like a little kid
The absolute most abrupt ending in this whole series and possibly of any movie I've ever seen is still Transformers: The Last Knight
Optimus: we were once a peaceful race.
Also Optimus: violates the Geneva convention 80 times in one movie.
It's crazy that there is like... an underlying narrative here that would be super compelling if it wasnt such a fucking insane batshit psycho movie, about how idealism can be turned into radical fanaticism and how you can lose yourself in the horrors of war and how the innocent are always the first to suffer.
[cocks shotgun] WELL WE FUCKING AIN'T ANYMORE. 'MERICA, FUCK YEAH.
To be fair by this point Optimus is tired of Megatron. Like Optimus realizes letting megatron goes means future battles so he chooses to kill him to end it.
@@stinkybuttrat bruh you're just describing Attack On Titan!!!
@@line4169 I havent watched in a long time, I think I stopped once Erin turns into a titan or whatever, at the point I stopped the message seemed like, "sometimes shit is scary but when there is an existential threat you have to be brave and stand up to it"
26:29 had me dying for 10 minutes i just kept rewinding it. Possibly the funniest picture show I have ever seen keep up the good work men
I still think until this day centinel was asking for mercy in vane but man..... Seeing optimus picking up the shotgun as he says that kills me, its open to such a wrong interpretation xf
@@sebastiansuazo2734 fax 💀
I just wanna say something about the "People still at work" bit. It would be kinda hard to walk outside while robots are literally slaughtering anyone who is unfortunate enough to be on the streets.
You know, I unironically think this is the best film in the series. I kinda love it
Agree everyone D riding these guys hard
Idk, age of extinction went kind of hard
The first one and this one are the best, 2 is just kind of a mess. Except for Optimus tearing The Fallen apart.
Dark of the Moon is unironically the best out of the Bayformers movies. An actually sympathetic motive for the villains (wanting to revive Cybertron), plot twists, dark tone when things get serious, etc.
Honestly had the best action for sure. Just skip the first half
i love how by the end cosmo is laughing so hard he looks and sounds like he cant control his movements and the laughters taken over him entirely
Marcus summed the franchise up perfectly in the first transformers video: “we are simply war mongering cars”
13:57 I love how they both acknowledged that this guy looked like the Predator.
Fun fact: it's name is crankcase.
I had to Google that.
@@rhysofsneezingdragon1758I thought that guy was Dreadbot, but then I realized I had him confused with another Decepticon who looked exactly like him. They literally just reused this model for a completely different character in a different movie lmao
