I think all the seekers are given the ability to teleport-since the Fallen could teleport it would only make sense to give that same ability to his most loyal followers and it would explain how jetfire could teleport sam and the gang to Egypt
As for what happened to the American Seekers, is explained in Transformers: Nefarious (which is IDW's sequel to ROTF). In it, is shown that all the Seekers that The Fallen has sent to search for the Matrix of Leadership, began a competition to see which one of them would find it first. one of those Seekers, who is called Fortress, wanted to be the one to find it so badly that he killed all of them in order to assure no one would find it except for him. One of the Seekers he killed, however, was the gcm 250 flatbed truck (i know it's a truck from 1950 but that's how it's depicted in the comic), and the way he killed the Seeker, caused his lifeless frame (Cybertronian term for corpse) to crash with a car that belongs to Carter Newell's parents. The crash crippled Carter and killed his parents, causing the young boy to swear revenge against all Transformers and create the Initiative to do so. With one of the Transformers he captured being Fortress himself. The European Seekers managed to escape from his killing spree though.
It’s kinda surprising how the knights don’t fall apart like bulldog or Jetfire. They are really old and yet they still have the ability to take the form of an enormous Dragon. It’s even similar to the Constructicons... idk
@Samuel Cannon True, but the knights were made by Quintessa herself, the practical god of the transformers, which means there's a chance they're actually older than the primes themselves, considering they were her 'guardians'.
@@reubenhw I don't think so. There was already a concept for silver bolt in revenge of the fallen and dark of the moon. And there was a toy set made for the aerial bots. And the Alt mode is not the same to the alt mode in dark of the moon
@@primustheprotogen3169 that is not entirely true since most of the jet deceptions are modeled after Starscream. We have seen Thundercracker and Skywarp as toys from Transformers 1 and they were just Starscream repaints. It couldn't be the cone heads either. Because there is already a Thrust toy and that alt mode does not resemble the seeker in the picture. The only one I can think of that could be that one is Cyclonus.
From the Revenge of the Fallen novel When Jetfire transported Sam Witwicky's group through a transspacial portal to Egypt, the energy discharge caught the attention of Ransack, who followed them through his own portal. Ransack flew towards the group until his engine sputtered out and he crashed in front of Jetfire. Ransack then transformed and started to pick a fight with Jetfire, calling him a yellow-bellied traitor. Taking the "yellow" comment the wrong way, Bumblebee wanted to intervene, but Sam convinced him that the dispute was between the two of them and they shouldn't get involved. Declaring that they were going to settle things right there and then, Ransack took a shot at Jetfire...which bounced off him, causing no damage. Jetfire abruptly ended the conflict by stomping Ransack to death. This would have been a pretty good scene
You and me both, Blitz', you and me both, i used to think that everything was a continuation of the previous thing, i blame it on my ignorance and lazyness
I like the idea of nautica being the submarine and her being a giant. I like to think she'd be a big sister to the more reckless autobots if she appeared in more movies.
I just noticed an error. In the photo of the Order of the Witwiccans, Hot Rod is shown in his Lamborghini Centenario inspired robot mode. 115 years before Lamborghini would release the Centenario and 15 years before Ferruccio Lamborghini was even born. I understand that people don't tend to model or animate cybertronians before they have the alt mode they use on screen, but come on. Animated did that, g1 did that, even 2015 RiD did that, but Prime, TLK, and the Netflix WfC cartoon just couldn't manage it.
And also a 2007 optimus prime can be seen in the paintings bruhh!!!! And also iron hide can be seen, i think edmund just put them there for some reason
If the flatbed one was kup, I'd like to think he and Jetfire both agreed to switch sides to the autobots, or maybe Kup was one of the seekers still loyal to the 6 other primes, trying to discover the matrix not to use it for the star harvester, but know of its location should the other autobots ever need to move it
I remember there was a Very "Exsecive" Concept art of Shockwave were he's Alt mode is a bomber plane (the Boomerang shaped one) all you need to do is just rename the guy and BOOM he is the fictional northrop

Base on the concept art for it, which was later used for Ransack, I would agree that it could have been him. 6:02 Hudson steam locomotive. Yeah, I also agree that it could have been Astrotrain. 6:27 B-24 Liberator. I like to think that bomber plane was Lugnut. 6:51 The F-104 Starfighter I would disagree on. It looks more like Skydive rather then Ramjet. Even though Skydive transforms into a F-16 Falcon fight jet, the color scheme and jet body type kind of matches Skydive. 7:08 1950 gmc 250 flatbed truck. Certainly looks like it could have been Kup. -Also it's interesting that you group Bulldog, Spitfire, and Nautica as possibly the HMS Alliance submarine from TLK as old Seekers. And I agree with that. But yeah, this 9:45 Northrop. Can't make heads or tails on who it could have been. The deleted seeker as the 13:07 F-102 Delta Dagger jet, This I would guess to be Ramjet. That's one theory down. Now for your next theory, to match up who was where on the map. Since Wheelie pointed out five other locations.

Bumblebee and hotrod: hey Nautica: hey Nautica 1 second later: WHAT! Update: I decided to make a name for the unknown bomber transformer I'ma call it highbrow named after the Autobot headmaster who didn't turn into a bomber but turned into an osprey but you never now highbrow could have possibly been in tlk as one of the many osprey's during the cybertron scene
what if the reason the project in sector seven was shut down was because of soundwave's allies? He had multiple high-ranking humans working for him, so maybe a few of them were tasked to hide the existence of the seekers so that the Autobots wouldn't look for them as possible allies, since their leader was the last prime.
I would actually love to see a movie about Jetfire’s history. We would get more background on the first primes, the fallen and all the other seekers. We would also see a decepticon story for the first time since Jetfire was a decepticon at first. There is a lot of interesting content. 🤔
i wanted to know the other seekers the moment i saw these pictures , and then when i finished the movie i totally forget about them . Great content . take care and thank you.
I was just in you're community tab, talking how dangerous drugs are and that it could ruin you're future, never go on the wrong side. I actually forgot about the seekers in tf2 since the movie was a decade ago. And im actually suprised that you're still trying to fix the entire Transformers cinematic universe even though it has already ended after tf5. Keep up the good work, you're so close to reaching another milestone 100.000 subs
I think the reason why Bulldog and Spitfire were in poor shade was due to their alternate modes, making them behave old, and due to whatever war or conflicts they endured must’ve damaged their brain modules, making them have the robot dementia, though Jetfire probably only had dementia due to damage to his head and was falling apart due to choice of alt mode and how long he was in vehicle mode
Spitfire and Jetfire not only have similar names but similar bodies and issues. Thus they might’ve been created around the same time but spitfire not being as bad in condition because of his size.
Im thinking the reason for transformers rapidly falling apart is a mix between aging and lack of a constant source of energon, also with jet fire the preservation techniques of the museum he was at they might have replaced some of his parts, combined with his age his body may have rejected those parts. Just a theory
Honestly if the bayverse did continue we probably would not have seen these seekers again anyway ,but it’s fun to imagine how cool it would be to watch the seekers fly to battle one last time against unicron
I have to go against the Lugnut theory, you see there was a toy released who looks exactly like the B-24 Liberator , that person is the Autobot Springer, sure Springer's toy is a V-22 Osprey helicopter but I have a theory, and don't forget when Jetfire was revived they we're all shocked that it was a Decepticon seeker, so does this mean that their we're Autobot seekers? In my belief no, I think Autobots who could fly went after the Decepticon seekers (showing why everyone was surprised it was a Decepticon) and Springer was one of the Autobots to to follow the Decepticon seekers, and Springer found the alternate mode B-24 Liberator to hide against who he was trying to capture, and before his energon went out he knew he was going to be offline for quite some time so he scanned the V-22 Osprey as it's a more comfortable helicopter mode, giving the reason why his toy was released as a Osprey but in the movie it shows as a B-24 Liberator.
I would like to see a video explaining why between the 2nd and 3rd films the transformers switched from having their weapons being an extension of their limbs (like bumblebees cannon or optimus’ swords) to having handheld weapons.
Toward the end of the video, there is a F102 Delta Dagger which has more accurate characteristics to those of Ramjet than the F104 Starfighter. There were 3 similar jet types in Gen 1-2 being Star Scream, Ramjet, and I can't remember the third one that had a larger yet thinner profile. And considering that Jetfire was an Autobot and the other 3 were Decepticons that third one is more likely to be the 104. Especially since the 102 is more closely related in size to the YF22 that Star Scream chose in the Bayverse. There is also the fact that the 102 is closer in design to Ramjet's Gen 1-2 appearances than a 104.
Well remember when the group was looking at pictures of older vehicles before going to the little plane museum. Those were the original seekers and Jetfire was included in it!
All I ask is some sort of series of each of the Europe Seekers + Jetfire telling the other bots Optimus, Bumblebee, etc. old stories about their ways while well...seeking
really great research done here, very well done! i personally like the idea that not all seekers have flying altmodes, since being able to traverse the ground has it's advantages.
Astrotrain was the youngest seaker and joined the order at the very end of their time and was still young enough to serve the decepticons in Dark of the moon before he starts falling apart and going insane
I would love to add in more lore into the seekers. For example, why not have an explanation why Amelia Earhart vanished and was never seen? Because the plane (the Lochead Vega 5) she flew in was actually a seeker keeping Amelia safe until a massive storm in the fog shot his engines which was actually planned by a decepticon, then crashed into the ocean while Amelia tried to rescue him. But couldn’t save him, until now in present day his remains were discovered by Nautical and swam back to meet Edmond and Cogman, until he then activated but only saying his last few words. What do ya think? Ridiculous or what!?
Or at least noticed that both Megatron and the All spark when they had crashed on earth. some of them have forms that were before hoover dam was built so they could pick up the radiation of it and if a low ranking decepticon like wheelie can locate them well enough to point them out on a map with only a photo of them, why haven NEST and the Autobots also noticed them and at least locked them up at the island base for questioning? The same question could also said of the deceptions in T1 as "hey, free allies. Also what you're doing here? Wait, an already set up energon converter? That makes looking for the all-spark less urgently needed in the grand scheme of things and it would be easier to find both it and Megatron if all the humans are dead." Though bayformers always had a problem with ignoring what happened in the previous films and how they would have gone differently if they used the assets that they "already had".
I would love a video where you rewrite all of the five movies the way you want it with no restrictions and budget. Kind of like nando v movies but more free.
Damn I used to watch you from 3 years ago and stopped around a year ago if you remembered me, I asked you to do what happened to Mikaela and how did barricade get his new appearance, back then you had like 10-20k subs and not too many views, so cool and happy to see how much you’ve grown now, great job Jason. Hard work paid off
@@Theorymus no problem dude, I just got back into transformers so I’ll be binge watching some of your stuff. Can you do some theories on the new Netflix trilogy series war for cybertron?
I love this video because I’ve been thinking about what are the other ones are And you just brought it to the table and made an amazing Siri this is why your channel is amazing thank you for everything you do.
I would love the idea of two autobot brothers that transform into a model T and a model A respectively. I’d imagine them as a much more cordial version of the skids and mudflap duo.
Just hearing Lugnuts name made me smile. I really hope he gets another chance in the spotlight. By the way, I've got a question for you. What happened to Frenzy?
I want to point out something else about Spitfire that you seemed to fail to: Spitfire appears to have some visual clues to having an Airplane alternate mode. Judging from the fines on his back, and the marks on them, my Guess would be one of the World Wars. More than like, World War 1. But, what marks him as being even older than that is the gun on his hip. A gun, mind you, that has a flared end. Much like (albeit cartoony) flintlock guns.
It's hard to classify what the cut seeker us, given the quality of the image. It could be either Thundercracker, or Dirge. They are both blue, but Thundercracker has light blue color while Dirge is dark blue. There are many spots in the fighter that is dark and light blue, which makes it hard for me to decide who he could've been.
The delta dagger could be dirge due to a similar design in vehicle mode and during the events of the movie he could have changed his colors from the one seen in the picture to his more g1 inspired colors but instead of yellow wings he has yellow leading edges in an homage to the original
You know it’s odd that seeker in this case actually makes more sense as a namesake compared to just being copy’s of starscream. ....these seekers are actually ancient explorers....”seeking” a way to get more Energon for the race to survive
I actually like this better than the seekers just being starscream clones I'm not sure what they're purpose was but the movies make it fit much better. If there's one thing I hate is laziness and lack of originality and when you make other characters look the same but with different colours then that's just lazy writing to me
I Believe the Northrop transformer could possibly be Stratosphere and when you mentioned that the Northrop is a a fictional one and a mix of two planes I concluded that Stratosphere could have the probability to teleport to alternate universes and could have scanned the Northrop in an alternate universe.
I remember something, I know many wouldn’t count the comics as cannon, but we can assume one of the seekers could be thrust like one comment mentioned, or it could be dirge, since(spoilers for “The reign of Starscream” up ahead), in TROS, Ramjet got decapitated by Crosshairs, a different crosshairs to be exact, and also in nefarious there was a seeker who went by the name of Fortress(I’m not kidding; that’s his name) who transformed into a bi-plane. Again, not everyone considers the comics to be cannon, so take that as you wish.
in a future transformers series i wanna see the dynasty of primes looking like his rotf versions, they sacrificed there live to prevent the fallen from killing sentinel prime, i hope michael york, kevin michael richardson, and robin atkin downes voices them in a future transformers series
I wish Hasbro could make these old bots into the studio series, I'd love having an old character shelf of the live action movie with Jetfire and that third party bulldog
Great video as always. I need to know more about them! Though not in line with the traditional seekers, these bayverse seekers seem so interesting, I want more. I'd love to see different seekers from different parts of the world, like maybe a German one that was a Panzer tank or an Italian one that was a Lamborghini tractor, that'd be funny. Anyway, I enjoyed this video, keep up the great work.
I like them because they actually live up to their name. The original seekers were cool and sqawned some of my favourite characters in the franchise, but the term "seekers" was rather ill fitting since they're a military group and not actually seeking anything.
In continuity the seeker are the soldiers that specialize in air combat but in the beyverse they're a group of Transformers that seek out Suns to harvest for energon
One of my favorite things about the seekers is that it implies the B-24 Diamond Lil is truly a Transformer, and as a History Buff, and a B-24 fan.. It makes me smile.
Thank you so much for hearting my comment because I have been wondering that for a while and for someone to actually see it and it being the creator is super cool thank you
Hey trans theory, i think Nautica and cup are autobot,s but why decepticon, maybe its a different movie how Michael bay wants it i guess. I love your channel
Love that part! All the old seekers were super interesting and fun! The fact there could be transformers scattered about as any type of vehicle throughout time! Just watched it yesterday actually! 😅😆👌🏻
I love how Trans still posts theories on old Transformers movies. It just shows for badly Michael Bay made his movies... Anyways, amazing work on the video like always!
@@davidvasquez08 I will admit, they aren't completely bad. They made Transformers a bit more different the way I saw Transformers all together. First, the timeline has huge gaps between them. Second, Way to many explosions, and other effects to the point where I couldn't tell where or what things were going on some of the time. Third, the Bayverse focused on the humans most of the time. Take the Last Knight for example... The female character was the only one who could use the staff besides Quintessa herself. Most of the times the movies plot was based around the human characters, making it feel like Humans with giant robots following them around... There were more things I could keep on going for a while.
What is see in last knight all the possible seekers were possibly in a world war such as bulldog maybe spit fire and Nautica but what I’m thinking is the reason that they’re falling apart while we see bulldog fall apart is because of possible battle damage such as the marks six land ship that bulldog transforms into what is heavily well untrused by the armies that use them because Of how thin the armor is In certain parts such as there are always weak to plunging fire but someone like bulldog would take a few shots and live but he would else have to collect all of his parts because reason he could be falling apart is he didn’t collect them all

I would actually love to see a movie about Jetfire’s history. We would get more background on the first primes, the fallen and all the other seekers. We would also see a decepticon story for the first time since Jetfire was a decepticon at first. There is a lot of interesting content. 🤔
I had a feeling the train of the seeker was going to be astrotrain and the jet would be ramjet. Love your videos Trans!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
i wanted to know the other seekers the moment i saw these pictures , and then when i finished the movie i totally forget about them .
Great content . take care and thank you.
After watching the whole video. People give this man a round of applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can you maybe do a follow up of what happened to said seekers? Great video btw! Keep on keeping on, trans! We love you!
Thx man 👍
@@Theorymus no problem
I was just in you're community tab, talking how dangerous drugs are and that it could ruin you're future, never go on the wrong side. I actually forgot about the seekers in tf2 since the movie was a decade ago. And im actually suprised that you're still trying to fix the entire Transformers cinematic universe even though it has already ended after tf5. Keep up the good work, you're so close to reaching another milestone 100.000 subs
As a lover of trains, I'd love to see what astrotrain looks like as a locomotive looks like in robot mode
You should do "What if they ALL survived" in one video.
hope you got snacks and drinks cuz that'd be a damn movie. good idea nonetheless

Does that count as jojo reference?
@@wafagdplqs4421 No it’s totally prime “I RiSe AnD yoU FaLl!” See!
@@christopherchocolate69420 that’s totally AbSUrd!
I think the reason why Bulldog and Spitfire were in poor shade was due to their alternate modes, making them behave old, and due to whatever war or conflicts they endured must’ve damaged their brain modules, making them have the robot dementia, though Jetfire probably only had dementia due to damage to his head and was falling apart due to choice of alt mode and how long he was in vehicle mode
What if I survived: Sideswipe.
I'm not even sure if he died
@@chriscarpenter3370 true, but we never heard of dino ever again same as sideswipe.
@@crystalin_N I think Dino and Starscream killed each other in the bayformers comics.
@@chriscarpenter3370 were talking bay verse like movie wise. And if that were true in the bayverse starscream died at the end of dark of the moon.
Yes trans do a what if I survived about sideswipe
Starscream still has his chicken legs that have not been trained and so....His seekers had to do the job for him
Nice one 😂😂😂
Skipped leg day
Spitfire and Jetfire not only have similar names but similar bodies and issues. Thus they might’ve been created around the same time but spitfire not being as bad in condition because of his size.
Im thinking the reason for transformers rapidly falling apart is a mix between aging and lack of a constant source of energon, also with jet fire the preservation techniques of the museum he was at they might have replaced some of his parts, combined with his age his body may have rejected those parts. Just a theory
Honestly if the bayverse did continue we probably would not have seen these seekers again anyway ,but it’s fun to imagine how cool it would be to watch the seekers fly to battle one last time against unicron
I have to go against the Lugnut theory, you see there was a toy released who looks exactly like the B-24 Liberator
, that person is the Autobot Springer, sure Springer's toy is a V-22 Osprey helicopter but I have a theory, and don't forget when Jetfire was revived they we're all shocked that it was a Decepticon seeker, so does this mean that their we're Autobot seekers? In my belief no, I think Autobots who could fly went after the Decepticon seekers (showing why everyone was surprised it was a Decepticon) and Springer was one of the Autobots to to follow the Decepticon seekers, and Springer found the alternate mode B-24 Liberator to hide against who he was trying to capture, and before his energon went out he knew he was going to be offline for quite some time so he scanned the V-22 Osprey as it's a more comfortable helicopter mode, giving the reason why his toy was released as a Osprey but in the movie it shows as a B-24 Liberator.
I would like to see a video explaining why between the 2nd and 3rd films the transformers switched from having their weapons being an extension of their limbs (like bumblebees cannon or optimus’ swords) to having handheld weapons.
I plan to do a vid on that
Toward the end of the video, there is a F102 Delta Dagger which has more accurate characteristics to those of Ramjet than the F104 Starfighter. There were 3 similar jet types in Gen 1-2 being Star Scream, Ramjet, and I can't remember the third one that had a larger yet thinner profile. And considering that Jetfire was an Autobot and the other 3 were Decepticons that third one is more likely to be the 104. Especially since the 102 is more closely related in size to the YF22 that Star Scream chose in the Bayverse. There is also the fact that the 102 is closer in design to Ramjet's Gen 1-2 appearances than a 104.
Weird i don’t remember in seekers in rotf
Well remember when the group was looking at pictures of older vehicles before going to the little plane museum. Those were the original seekers and Jetfire was included in it!
Oh cool i just forgot 😅
All I ask is some sort of series of each of the Europe Seekers + Jetfire telling the other bots Optimus, Bumblebee, etc. old stories about their ways while well...seeking
My immediate thought on the submarine was Tidal-Wave due to the character also being a water based vehicle.
really great research done here, very well done! i personally like the idea that not all seekers have flying altmodes, since being able to traverse the ground has it's advantages.
Astrotrain was the youngest seaker and joined the order at the very end of their time and was still young enough to serve the decepticons in Dark of the moon before he starts falling apart and going insane
I would love to add in more lore into the seekers. For example, why not have an explanation why Amelia Earhart vanished and was never seen? Because the plane (the Lochead Vega 5) she flew in was actually a seeker keeping Amelia safe until a massive storm in the fog shot his engines which was actually planned by a decepticon, then crashed into the ocean while Amelia tried to rescue him. But couldn’t save him, until now in present day his remains were discovered by Nautical and swam back to meet Edmond and Cogman, until he then activated but only saying his last few words. What do ya think? Ridiculous or what!?
What if brawl never died
wait if jet fire was an black bird he hasn’t been in stasis lock for to long so bumblebee and hot rod would be roaming around at the same time
Or at least noticed that both Megatron and the All spark when they had crashed on earth. some of them have forms that were before hoover dam was built so they could pick up the radiation of it and if a low ranking decepticon like wheelie can locate them well enough to point them out on a map with only a photo of them, why haven NEST and the Autobots also noticed them and at least locked them up at the island base for questioning? The same question could also said of the deceptions in T1 as "hey, free allies. Also what you're doing here? Wait, an already set up energon converter? That makes looking for the all-spark less urgently needed in the grand scheme of things and it would be easier to find both it and Megatron if all the humans are dead." Though bayformers always had a problem with ignoring what happened in the previous films and how they would have gone differently if they used the assets that they "already had".
I would love a video where you rewrite all of the five movies the way you want it with no restrictions and budget. Kind of like nando v movies but more free.
Damn I used to watch you from 3 years ago and stopped around a year ago if you remembered me, I asked you to do what happened to Mikaela and how did barricade get his new appearance, back then you had like 10-20k subs and not too many views, so cool and happy to see how much you’ve grown now, great job Jason. Hard work paid off
Thanks man I appreciate your kind words, it's awesome to hear from an OG of the channel and I truly appreciate that
@@Theorymus no problem dude, I just got back into transformers so I’ll be binge watching some of your stuff. Can you do some theories on the new Netflix trilogy series war for cybertron?
I love this video because I’ve been thinking about what are the other ones are And you just brought it to the table and made an amazing Siri this is why your channel is amazing thank you for everything you do.
Thanks man I appreciate your kind words
Yes I have been waiting for this video for a long time and it’s here.
I would love the idea of two autobot brothers that transform into a model T and a model A respectively. I’d imagine them as a much more cordial version of the skids and mudflap duo.
one is a Model T the other a Dodge 30. mimicking the Ford/Dodge Brothers rivalry, lol
@@Panzer-535 and the colourful language to make it worth watching.
I had no idea that the fallen was named megatronus. That is really interesting to me. Great video man!!!

Finally something interesting today, BTW Im watching during class
Big man
Seeking for the autobots, SEEKERS CEASE THEM.
Just hearing Lugnuts name made me smile. I really hope he gets another chance in the spotlight. By the way, I've got a question for you. What happened to Frenzy?
Frenzy was killed in the 2007 movie by his own weapon later in Revenge of the Fallen we can see his head as an Easter egg
I want to point out something else about Spitfire that you seemed to fail to: Spitfire appears to have some visual clues to having an Airplane alternate mode. Judging from the fines on his back, and the marks on them, my Guess would be one of the World Wars. More than like, World War 1. But, what marks him as being even older than that is the gun on his hip. A gun, mind you, that has a flared end. Much like (albeit cartoony) flintlock guns.
It's hard to classify what the cut seeker us, given the quality of the image. It could be either Thundercracker, or Dirge. They are both blue, but Thundercracker has light blue color while Dirge is dark blue. There are many spots in the fighter that is dark and light blue, which makes it hard for me to decide who he could've been.
The delta dagger could be dirge due to a similar design in vehicle mode and during the events of the movie he could have changed his colors from the one seen in the picture to his more g1 inspired colors but instead of yellow wings he has yellow leading edges in an homage to the original
You know it’s odd that seeker in this case actually makes more sense as a namesake compared to just being copy’s of starscream. ....these seekers are actually ancient explorers....”seeking” a way to get more Energon for the race to survive
I actually like this better than the seekers just being starscream clones I'm not sure what they're purpose was but the movies make it fit much better. If there's one thing I hate is laziness and lack of originality and when you make other characters look the same but with different colours then that's just lazy writing to me
Thank you for this video!
Do what happened to soundwave after the paris attack? O_O
well... he died
he came down to earth and was in Dark of The Moon.
I died
@@nish912 huh, quite unfortunate
@@nish912 yeah that's what i said
I Believe the Northrop transformer could possibly be Stratosphere and when you mentioned that the Northrop is a a fictional one and a mix of two planes I concluded that Stratosphere could have the probability to teleport to alternate universes and could have scanned the Northrop in an alternate universe.
He’s back
Hes alive
Hes here
At last there's hope after all
I remember something, I know many wouldn’t count the comics as cannon, but we can assume one of the seekers could be thrust like one comment mentioned, or it could be dirge, since(spoilers for “The reign of Starscream” up ahead), in TROS, Ramjet got decapitated by Crosshairs, a different crosshairs to be exact, and also in nefarious there was a seeker who went by the name of Fortress(I’m not kidding; that’s his name) who transformed into a bi-plane. Again, not everyone considers the comics to be cannon, so take that as you wish.
You should do a what if you survived on cliffjumper from the bumblebee movie
I would love to see more of spitfire and bulldog
in a future transformers series i wanna see the dynasty of primes looking like his rotf versions, they sacrificed there live to prevent the fallen from killing sentinel prime, i hope michael york, kevin michael richardson, and robin atkin downes voices them in a future transformers series
I wish Hasbro could make these old bots into the studio series, I'd love having an old character shelf of the live action movie with Jetfire and that third party bulldog
He's alive boys...
Great video as always. I need to know more about them! Though not in line with the traditional seekers, these bayverse seekers seem so interesting, I want more. I'd love to see different seekers from different parts of the world, like maybe a German one that was a Panzer tank or an Italian one that was a Lamborghini tractor, that'd be funny. Anyway, I enjoyed this video, keep up the great work.
🤟
I like them because they actually live up to their name. The original seekers were cool and sqawned some of my favourite characters in the franchise, but the term "seekers" was rather ill fitting since they're a military group and not actually seeking anything.
When all of the escape pods, were gone, how did Optimus manage to get to earth without being seen in Bumblebee?
I plan to do a vid on that
i can fly
In continuity the seeker are the soldiers that specialize in air combat but in the beyverse they're a group of Transformers that seek out Suns to harvest for energon
Starscream: hey megatron check out my tattoos!
One of my favorite things about the seekers is that it implies the B-24 Diamond Lil is truly a Transformer, and as a History Buff, and a B-24 fan.. It makes me smile.
I have a new idea for a video "How Was Sideways Still Alive After The Starter Scene of T-2"
Thank you so much for hearting my comment because I have been wondering that for a while and for someone to actually see it and it being the creator is super cool thank you
I think the unnamed transformer plane thing was Silverbolt, just because of the silver colour scheme :3
Hey trans theory, i think
Nautica and cup are autobot,s but why decepticon, maybe its a different movie how Michael bay wants it i guess.
I love your channel
Love that part! All the old seekers were super interesting and fun! The fact there could be transformers scattered about as any type of vehicle throughout time! Just watched it yesterday actually! 😅😆👌🏻
I love how Trans still posts theories on old Transformers movies. It just shows for badly Michael Bay made his movies... Anyways, amazing work on the video like always!
Thanks man, someone had to do it👍
How exactly? Because there’s no G1 designs? I completely understand lack of fluidity
@@davidvasquez08 I will admit, they aren't completely bad. They made Transformers a bit more different the way I saw Transformers all together. First, the timeline has huge gaps between them. Second, Way to many explosions, and other effects to the point where I couldn't tell where or what things were going on some of the time. Third, the Bayverse focused on the humans most of the time. Take the Last Knight for example... The female character was the only one who could use the staff besides Quintessa herself. Most of the times the movies plot was based around the human characters, making it feel like Humans with giant robots following them around... There were more things I could keep on going for a while.
@@eternalairhead2523 wasn’t Transformers always revolved around humans
@@davidvasquez08 No. It's Transformers not humans lol
nautica was probably so old that she lost the ability to transform.
Trans theories Question Who wins in a fight between 2007 Barricade vs Dropkick from the bumblebee movie
i prefer Barricade tho
Probably barricade
@@Theorymus does dropkick have a chance
I mean it's possible he does oh, but I just like barricade better
Transformers revenge of the fallen feels like it was yesterday for me
Can you do a what if I survived side swipe.
And ramjet got retconned in bumble bee and tore out his voice box and don't tell me it's blitzwing because all of the characters had their G1 colors.
need thundercracker for the movie
What is see in last knight all the possible seekers were possibly in a world war such as bulldog maybe spit fire and Nautica but what I’m thinking is the reason that they’re falling apart while we see bulldog fall apart is because of possible battle damage such as the marks six land ship that bulldog transforms into what is heavily well untrused by the armies that use them because Of how thin the armor is In certain parts such as there are always weak to plunging fire but someone like bulldog would take a few shots and live but he would else have to collect all of his parts because reason he could be falling apart is he didn’t collect them all
