Almost half a year in the making and we're finally taking off! Maverick: Danger Zone is a love letter to aviation from Sam and I. We truly gave this film our all and are so glad to finally get it off the runway and into the air!
This is pretty much how it feels to be a little kid playing with their toys. Using just a few figures to come up with amazing battles and epic stories. RIP Maverick. Wherever you are now, hope your squadron’s soaring alongside you.
*Maverick may have been on the "highway to the danger zone", but he sure taught the cadets well, and made them "sour to new hights", and at least Maverick went out in a "great ball of fire"*
I may not be much of an aviation enthusiast, but I cannot deny that the attention to detail with dogfight callouts and tactics, and the aerial shots were downright awesome. Def outdid yourself in this one, Sam.
Easily the single most impressive film y'all have put out. Still breathtaken by the flying scenes. You can see the passion in it. Looking forward to the years of improvement to come!!!
From the breathtaking aerial shots, to the impeccable figure work, to the heartfelt and inspiring script, plus the fantastic voice crew, we are given yet another absolute banger from TFI. To everyone within the production go my biggest kudos and thanks! Keep soaring!
The cinematography is breathtaking, I don’t know about Maverick but the drone operator sure had some skills lol. Congratulations to you and your ‘squad’.. a thoroughly enjoyable and highly emotional piece.
The way you do these films are amazing, its not a regular stop motion, love movements are fluid and the camera work is nice, also the touch of special effects work amazingly with your films
I can tell you…I’m feeling the need…the need for speed that is! TFI Creations strikes again with a really awesome idea for a collaborative film and a clear understanding of both properties blended perfectly together! Maverick has a simple arc, but it’s one that’s almost complicating in a way that you could see both sides of the situation that he puts himself in. The other characters really support him through it and it leads to a bittersweet ending. I also have to mention the flight scenes…they were so goddamn impressive! Knowing that you actually used real planes to capture the footage, it’s further proof in showing that you really care about approaching how you make your films and just aviation in general! This is yet another amazing fan film from the masters, so just keep ‘em coming! Because goodness gracious, they’re great balls of fire!
Oh my god. I'm sorry I don't have much to say, but this film is currently my favorite! With it's emotional and beautiful moments, to action packed fights, this just absolutely takes the cake for me!
Wow, just wow, this he just finished watching and it is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, no project has ever made feel this way, Great work to Sam and all of the team involved!
The action and story for this was honestly great, I’m so gonna be rewatching it over and over again even more now hehe, and man I wonder who that random guy was who sent the Mav figure lol
Man, This actually made me cry, and the Ace Combat and Topgun music definitely helped that P.S. Mixing Ace Combat, Topgun, and Transformers together like this, this… this is a Aviation Masterpiece
This was a Masterpiece of Figures, Soundtrack Timing, Special Effects, using at the exact moment, with everything in between, simply PAWsome of a Masterpiece. I applaud you guys at TFI Creations for all the hard work you put into these PUPtacular TV shows to keep everyone entertained, 💗❤️👍😄😆 100,000,000% on every movie you've been making. I'm Ella and It's Time to think BIG!!!!!!!!!
I may not be a big fan of aviation and I haven't watched the Top Gun films, I had a lot of fun watching this crossover. I was at the edge of my seat watching those dogfights and training scenes. I may have gotten emotional when Air-Raid and Breakaway realized and became better aerial bots. That was a really beautiful scene where they fully understand brotherhood in the sky. I have two criticism or things I wish we could've seen in the film: 1. I wish the Decepticons felt more like characters instead of targets. 2. I wish we could've seen Maverick's past instead of being told to the audience. I think it would've been more emotional if we got a scene where we saw Mavericks past, the reason why he left being an aerial bot. So we can feel the weight he's carying of his bad past. But all in all I enjoyed the film and to everyone who was involved, you guys did a great job! As always, I can't wait for the next one.
As usual, the excellence of TFI Creations delivers! A truely beautiful, action-packed love letter to aviation which was well worth the wait! Great job, and a round of applause to all those invovled in it's production 👏❤️
Nicely done TFI. Had my heart in my throat the whole time, just like the real thing. Maybe they'll make an official adaptation of this someday. Subscribed.
Fantastic Film! Definitely had the heart of Top Gun and was a great tribute to Aviation as a whole! Of course, with some Transformers sprinkled in there.
Me : -casually watching- *sees Maverick transformer figure * aw men I wish they made a SU 57 figure too :(" btw the stop motion Is a work of art btw it's not JUST a simple stop motion its like they are real ppl and I like it when Maverick Said in the end : "great balls of fire" it was a call back to the song great balls of fire in the original top gun movie :D
Definitely feels like top gun maverick with very good extra steps also I see even Megatronus is in this movie in a different body and under a different name sort-of
Dude, this is really good, nicely done brother. I am going to watch this on my TV with the speakers up. This is getting me excited for Rise Of The Beasts.
Wow man....wow...it was so much worth the Wait! The Aerial Shots were Great! The Story was truly lovely and the Characters were Awesome! My only critique would be that the Decepticons didn't get that much Screen Time and talked way to less. But its not that big of a deal just would've loved to see More of them^^. Other than that i loved it till the End and i actually quite like that you killed Mavericks Character, could become a major Plot point for a Potential Sequel if you are gonna do one^^ Looking forward to the Next!!!
This was another absolute spectacular! It feels a lot like that feeling of Top Gun and I love it. To the characters and the story and especially the aerial shots are absolutely immersive and beautiful. And you guys definitely put your love of jets and aerial to the extreme and I love it. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to your next project
Amazing production and very entertaining. Aside from the great story telling, cinematography, and compelling characters it was really fun seeing different eras of Transformers all come together in one cohesive movie. Seeing HFTDs Mindwipe as the Fallen especially as I still own that one as well as the yellow/black jet who's name I completely forget.
The aerial scenes were some of the most impressive I've ever seen in a project like this. Sam, Andrew, and whole TFI Creations team: Be proud of yourselves. Excellent work to everyone who worked on this project. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to hunt down a Maverick for my own collection lol.
I have to say while I enjoyed Origins Unknown and Gigawatt, this was my favorite film. The voice acting and the creativity that went into this not to mention the writing. I'm re watching this again after a year and I can't get over how awesome this looks! Excellent work you guys!
This was a very interesting take on topgun. I really like the story for this with the nice drone shots. The only thing I get annoyed with is a lot of the flying things like how weight = stall which can happen but doesnt really cause engine failure. Some of the ways that radar work, and then just some aerial terms. But that might just because im a pilot. Other than that AWESOME story.
I’m also a pilot, but I only fly little Cessnas. XD I decided not to go full realism with this short as I went for entertainment factor first. Not to mention giant transforming robots may not follow the same engine engineering.
Breakaway: Sir, what say we put some skin in the game? Autobot Maverick: What do you have in mind? Breakaway: Whoever gets shot down first has to do 200 push-ups. Autobot Maverick: Guys, that's a lot of push-ups.
When a group of talented people with TOYS can make a better movie than a multi-billion dollar company, you know they fucked up. Anyways, congrats guys for making yet another great movie for us, and thanks for the effort!
I enjoyed this more than the movie, which says something because that film was pretty good. Props to all involved & I can’t wait for the next mini movie
Wow I’m lost at words with this project, it’s safe to say that this is in my Top 5 favorite projects or heck maybe even top 3 that you and the team made, also love those Aerial Shots they look very well done. I wish you and the team the best praise and never stop doing what you do. To quote from Maverick. “Don’t Think, Just Do”
This was Awesome the shots by the water goosebumps aaa the dog fights kept me on the edge of my seat Though Autobot command lost 2 great fighters their victory will see ramifications all across the frontline at least i hope
This is much worth wait, the aerial shots amazing to watch, two things caught me guard that ending with Mav and hearing Liberation Of Gracemeria for that furball sequence i haven't played AC 6 but I'd recognized that piece of music anywhere, great work really give yourselves a pat on the back 👍
Makes me really wish that Studios Series could start doing game related Transformers like the Aerial Bots (Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Breakaway) from the DOTM game. Because I would definitely pick all of them up if they did.
That was amazing! I loved how realistic the dogfights were! The music and sound effects were excellent too! I'm going to share this with all my friends who like aviation.
This was an awesome short film! Funny enough I've been thinking about designing my own Transformers characters based off of some of the characters of Ace Combat and Project Wingman. Keep up the amazing work!
Watching both Top Gun movies were definitely the way to go and finally seeing this was definitely fantastic. As the saying goes excelsior by Stan Lee. Aim high friends. This is worth the watch.
Almost half a year in the making and we're finally taking off!

In five four three two one take off
Rip maverick
Is it strange working with non stop motion
Yeah… Bet Trigger, Cipher, Möbius 1, And Blaze are smiles all around, maybe Scarface 1 too

Who needs CGI when you have TOYS! :D
Yup!
So true
It’s actually more enjoyable not going to lie
You said it
True
Maverick's really the type of Autobot that can make Optimus Prime proud.
I'd imagine he'd also be the bot that makes Prime lose more than a few nights of sleep though...
@@TheNapster153 fr right
I agree, he is the kind of bot to make him proud
This is pretty much how it feels to be a little kid playing with their toys. Using just a few figures to come up with amazing battles and epic stories. RIP Maverick. Wherever you are now, hope your squadron’s soaring alongside you.
Maverick Would Have Been Worthy Of The Autobots As A Soldier
*Maverick may have been on the "highway to the danger zone", but he sure taught the cadets well, and made them "sour to new hights", and at least Maverick went out in a "great ball of fire"*
*Soar* to new *heights*
Putting the attacker on the defensive is actually one of the 7 Golden rules of dogfight I'm impressed you knew that
Im a big fighter plane enthusiast and have studied dogfighting since I was a kid. ;)
@@TFICreations same
@@TFICreations hell yea boi
I may not be much of an aviation enthusiast, but I cannot deny that the attention to detail with dogfight callouts and tactics, and the aerial shots were downright awesome. Def outdid yourself in this one, Sam.
Maverick took down the Fallen by himself, freaking awesome.
That was mindwipe
@@Legoartboyhe used the mindwipe figure for fallen
YES! Starscream was in this for, like, 30 seconds. 10/10. Though Thundercracker and Skywarp didn’t appear. So 1,000,000/10
Dude actually recreated the first few minutes of top gun. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
The conversations feel so natural and genuine, definitely one of my favorite parts about this…
Pretty cool ngl
Me seeing an aircraft carrier all by itself without the rest of the fleet: oh no, this won't end well
R.I.P Maverick. Let his spark join the matrix, the greatest of Cybertron.
I imagine that just like "The Red Baron" when he was shot down on the Somme, Maverick intended for this to be his last flight.
Agreed. He died a hero 🥺🥺
Till All Are One...
...In Chorus.
Easily the single most impressive film y'all have put out. Still breathtaken by the flying scenes. You can see the passion in it. Looking forward to the years of improvement to come!!!
That day the Autobot Air Command won the battle, but at a cost (Breakaway & Maverick) may their sparks be at peace.
From the breathtaking aerial shots, to the impeccable figure work, to the heartfelt and inspiring script, plus the fantastic voice crew, we are given yet another absolute banger from TFI. To everyone within the production go my biggest kudos and thanks! Keep soaring!
It was an absolute honor and privilege having you on board as the main man himself. Couldn't think of anyone better to fit the roll!
@@CoolalriteMany thanks! And as such, the honor was also mine. 🤝
Imagine not having you in tf projects,couldn’t be me
@@godzillaverse7936 Says the first person I ever voiced a Transformer for. 😎🤝 Thanks pal!
@@chrithmuthwolf344 very coolio,also TFI is also based
Not even completely done with the film and it is the greatest stop motion film I’ve seen in years. Hats off to this great creator
I hope you see an F-14 Tomcat in the museum, Samuel.
The cinematography is breathtaking, I don’t know about Maverick but the drone operator sure had some skills lol. Congratulations to you and your ‘squad’.. a thoroughly enjoyable and highly emotional piece.
I taught myself drone flying just for this project ;)
@@TFICreations lol
The way you do these films are amazing, its not a regular stop motion, love movements are fluid and the camera work is nice, also the touch of special effects work amazingly with your films
OH MY GOD!!! This dude finally did it!!! The perfect blend of two of my favorite franchises!!!!
I can tell you…I’m feeling the need…the need for speed that is! TFI Creations strikes again with a really awesome idea for a collaborative film and a clear understanding of both properties blended perfectly together! Maverick has a simple arc, but it’s one that’s almost complicating in a way that you could see both sides of the situation that he puts himself in.

very impressed with the visuals here, really feel like i was flying into the DANGER THE ZONE!
I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise's work, but seeing this actually makes me want to collect the Top Gun Transformers crossover figure
Paramount pictures.
Oh my god. I'm sorry I don't have much to say, but this film is currently my favorite! With it's emotional and beautiful moments, to action packed fights, this just absolutely takes the cake for me!
Everything about this is incredible I'm so happy this exists. It's something I've always wanted to see. The whole TFI crew did a phenomenal Job!
This was awesome! This shows the military side of the autobot air force while also showing how a retired flyboy can bring back power in the team
13:33-13:40
Nice reference.
Maverick went out like a damn hero.
As for Air Raid, he’s our wingman. Any day.
Wow, just wow, this he just finished watching and it is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, no project has ever made feel this way, Great work to Sam and all of the team involved!
The action and story for this was honestly great, I’m so gonna be rewatching it over and over again even more now hehe, and man I wonder who that random guy was who sent the Mav figure lol
You guys are in for a real treat with this one!
Man, This actually made me cry, and the Ace Combat and Topgun music definitely helped that
P.S. Mixing Ace Combat, Topgun, and Transformers together like this, this… this is a Aviation Masterpiece

I'm Ella and It's Time to think BIG!!!!!!!!!
The Top Gun Autobots. Ready to fly into the danger zone, ready for a dogfight, and avenge the human craft carrier.
Air Raid: Higher, Further, Faster Baby!
Autobot Maverick: Great Balls Of Fire!
I may not be a big fan of aviation and I haven't watched the Top Gun films, I had a lot of fun watching this crossover. I was at the edge of my seat watching those dogfights and training scenes.

Transformers based.
This feels more like Ace Combat than Top Gun. Stellar work.
As usual, the excellence of TFI Creations delivers!
A truely beautiful, action-packed love letter to aviation which was well worth the wait!

I absolutely have to say TFI did an incredible job on this! And it's a big leap in quality from the other films he's done!
Breakaways death made me actually sad
Edit:this is a really damn good movie
This has a stellar story alongside awesome visuals... Great props to you and your team!
Love the triplane in the beginning. Nice touch! 🥹🤝
Definitely feels like top gun maverick with very good extra steps also I see even Megatronus is in this movie in a different body and under a different name sort-of
The details, choreography & action is at its peak looking forward to what comes next.
35:01 Gigawatt spotted!
Dude, this is really good, nicely done brother. I am going to watch this on my TV with the speakers up. This is getting me excited for Rise Of The Beasts.
Wow man....wow...it was so much worth the Wait!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to hunt down a Maverick for my own collection lol.
Rest in peace maverick and brakeaway you will be missed
6:46 The first time Star Saber called Maverick, I was thinking in Megaman X and their criminals
How can I describe this project? Emotional? Yes. Phenominal? Absolutely! Second favourite movie After the Gigawatt trilogy.
I have to say while I enjoyed Origins Unknown and Gigawatt, this was my favorite film. The voice acting and the creativity that went into this not to mention the writing. I'm re watching this again after a year and I can't get over how awesome this looks! Excellent work you guys!

35:02 it is me or i saw gigowatt going into a truck? Apreciated the reference 😊
This was amazing to watch! Once again tfi creations you have made a masterpiece!
This was Awesome the shots by the water goosebumps aaa
the dog fights kept me on the edge of my seat
Though Autobot command lost 2 great fighters their victory will see ramifications all across the frontline at least i hope
This is much worth wait, the aerial shots amazing to watch, two things caught me guard that ending with Mav and hearing Liberation Of Gracemeria for that furball sequence i haven't played AC 6 but I'd recognized that piece of music anywhere, great work really give yourselves a pat on the back 👍
What a banger ! got to say you and Coolarlite did a amazing job with this film!
why is this BETTER than some of the "official" media pieces than some of the things hollywqood has churned out in the past few years xD
Makes me really wish that Studios Series could start doing game related Transformers like the Aerial Bots (Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Breakaway) from the DOTM game. Because I would definitely pick all of them up if they did.
Those would been fascinating figures
I would PRE ORDER them, and I don't typically do pre orders due to unpredictability, but I would be all over that
That was amazing! I loved how realistic the dogfights were! The music and sound effects were excellent too! I'm going to share this with all my friends who like aviation.
i feel like Mav isnt dead. he just got teleported with the decepticon, who teleported so he wouldnt be destroyed, but only Maverick got teleported.
The Danger Zone is real and I’m all here for it
This was really good wasn’t expecting it to go this well this is second to the gigawatt series
Great work, your VFX have come a long way! This looks amazing!
Another great production from TFI! Well done guys, keep up the great work!
This is truly a work of art. The work on this story was masterful. You've outdone yourselves.
I've never felt so emotional while watching this. May maverick rest in peace in the all spark
I never watched the Top Gun films. But it didn't stop me from enjoying your film. Great work!
The dramatic campiness of the dialogue is fantastic.😂 great work.
These Movies keep getting better :D
Star Saber: (To Maverick) Your being called back to Top Gun.
That was so good but that Decepticon Maverick had a grudge against the flame effect he had almost as if he was The Fallen or Atleast a follower
the ending got me to cry top work guys cant wait to see more
I just love how you had Danger Zone playing
this is excellent, im used to the older bots from the classic cartoon, but seeing htem again, and on screen, wonderful!!
This was an awesome short film! Funny enough I've been thinking about designing my own Transformers characters based off of some of the characters of Ace Combat and Project Wingman. Keep up the amazing work!
This is such an awesome fan film, awesome job! I really enjoyed watching every second of it
You guys are truly a master at doing this, fantastic work.
First video in the new year, let’s sit back and watch the magic🎉🎉🎉
This must be one of the best story's ever
As a fan of both Transformers and Top Gun, I approve.
Approve Paramount pictures.
