Transformers: Prime: Post-10 Year Retrospective
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2023
- Transformers: Prime was one of my favorite animated series growing up. And it cemented my lifelong obsession with the Transformers franchise. While not perfect, there is a lot I still admire about it to this day. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its movie-length finale, Predacons Rising, here is my retrospective of the series and how it has impacted me.

What?? There's people who hate this show??!! I thought it was common for everyone to see this series as a masterpiece
Fr it was very surprising for me
I was surprised too, but over time I met people who really didn’t like this show. And tbh they kinda cooking with their criticisms.
Perspectivend:
@@jonathandelgado3755 I'm curious, what's the criticism about? I can think of a few nitpicks but, they're just nitpicks
@@Davi17Lupus Here are the broad strokes of what I’ve come across:
1. Characters. Aside from a few stand outs, the characters are mostly weak. The show takes itself seriously and sucks out a lot of humor and personality from characters. Optimus gets it the worst. By removing his friendliness and dorky dad side they just make him a monotone authority figure that spouts platitudes and RARELY shows emotion beyond stoic. And they barely develop too. Bulkhead, Arcee, Bumblebee, Shockwave, Soundwave, ALL the humans. They’re the same from episode one to the series finale.
2. Logic. Basically, stuff that doesn’t make sense when you think about it. And yeah…they’re good questions too. The Decepticons have EVERY advantage against the Autobots. How do they KEEP losing? How do they not find the kids? Why is Arcee so hung up on one person dying when her entire planet is dead? She must’ve lost EVERYONE she knew but Cliffjumper and Tailgate are the only people she mentions. How can Airachnid control the Insecticons? Why does Megatron kill Skyquake, who is INFINITELY better than Starscream instead of just letting SS die? ONE weekend of mind control and suddenly Megatron renounces his ENTIRE life’swork?
4. Endings. The endings just suck. So many of the endings are sudden, unearned, and don’t further the story. Breakdown dies suddenly. Airachnid is left on a moon and never picked up. Shockwave, Soundwave, and Starscream are left on an ambiguous note. MECH goes nowhere. Knock Out suddenly joins the Autobots because he realized that good guys are…nicer? The human characters barely changed. Bumblebee barely has an on screen relationship with Megatron but HE kills him? Megatron again, his ending sucked. There’s Jack’s crush and bully…and…yeah do you even remember them? They’re written out, and didn’t even have “endings” in spite of being subjects of interest to Jack.
5. Plot. The show peaks at season one and becomes a fetch quest afterwards.
6. Animation and music. What we see looks nice, but the show mostly takes place in barren wastelands. Cybertron is as interesting and colorful as it gets. And it’s a dead metallic world. Populated human cities are ghost towns. Some say the theme and it’s variations are the only memorable tracks in the entire show.
People hate Prime? I thought that this was widely regarded as the best tf show ever.
Tbh, it is
Just as good as G1
Animated and Beast Wars beat it by a long shot
G1 is
@@alwaysabiggafish3305Not really. If you look at G1 without nostalgia goggles it’s a pretty flawed production. Animation and continuity errors are all over the place, and none of the characters or story arcs are as well-developed as they would be in later shows. G1 was a bastion of creativity and often had a lot of heart, but it was certainly improved upon.
While I agree that a lot of storylines weren’t able to reach their proper conclusion (dreadwing, MECH, breakdown, airachnid) I feel like most other criticisms against the show are relatively minor. Honestly the thing that frustrates me most about the show is that it never gets talked about outside of the transformers fandom. Seriously how does a show win 9 Emmys, an Annie, and other numerous accolades and then is just forgotten about. It infuriates me to no end. Despite its flaws, it’s still amazing overall and is definitely up there shows like Star Wars: the clone wars, atla and samurai jack.
Agreed. Just a shame the show was so expensive that it was cut short as we could have gotten those plot lines resolved
MECH was fine for me since it would have fractured when silas was dead unless of course silas ended up killing what remains which cant have been much left after silas was crushed
There’s a few reasons it’s not as talked about.
1: Location. Those other shows you mentioned were on basic cable channels and easily seen by many. Prime was on The Hub, which was less widely available and less well-known. Consequently, less people saw it.
2: Robots. A lot of people have a hang-up about seeing robots as people rather than mere machines. Thus they’re more likely to dismiss Transformers.
3: Merchandising. It’s well known that Transformers as a franchise exists to sell toys. There’s even a page for it on the wiki. That also turns people away, convincing them that “no true art can come from such a *commercial* product”.
4: It peaked too soon. A lot of great sci-fi shows take time to find their footing, but become amazing when they do. This is true of Transformers as well. Prime is an exception. The first season is easily the best, and the other two don’t fulfill its potential. That’s a common occurrence in prestige television these days, and it leads to the shows fading from discussion as they fizzle out while the new hotness comes along.
5: The movie association. This is the least convincing reason, I’ll admit, but I think it is there. Among people who care about art the live-action TF movies are held in disdain. Prime not only looks visually similar to those films, it was also produced by the writers of the first two. Some people will be put off by that.
I’m guessing it’s due to the influence the Bayverse had on many people.
The reason why sentinel prime’s arm is switched to Maximo prime’s arm is linked to how Sentinel isn’t technically a prime.
"Was an autistic preteen when it came put" *shows Raf*
Same
same
Skip beast hunters, you don’t need to watch it
@akuto5an271 that has nothing to do with what i said???
Honestly one of my favorite things done was making the earths core unicron cause it gave a reason for why out of all the planets in the universe the cybertronians were attracted to earth of all places.
14:09 A word that I remember learning from Transformers Prime's wide range of vocabulary was "pontificating", when Starscream was referring to Optimus' "preaching".
Then they do the bumblebee show that leaves so many plot holes, changes the tone, and totally makes the earth defenseless against decepticon attacks even though ratchet spent 10 hrs preparing them
I mean, 10hrs aint a lot
Poor Ratchet getting his tools broken broken at the worst possible moment.That gag never ceased to get a chuckle out of me 😂
I seriously can't believe that it's been 14 years since the show began, I just absolutely love it and have watched it religiously ever since
What I liked about the show is that every character looks like they have a unique fighting style. Bumblebee looks like a kickboxer, Predaking looks like he just destroys anything in his way and megatron looks like a gladiator and puts strategy into his fighting
I can never forget the impact this show had on. It taught me a lot about how people behave and interact, showed a good sense of humour and had really good characters and action. Really inspirational show for me
Bulkhead and the Shredder from TMNT 2012 sharing the same voice actor is something that I've never thought about, but now that You pointed it out, it feels like something clicked inside my brain and now I'm weirdly hyped about it for some reason I can't explain lol.
Kevin Michael Richardson is just a GOAT
Those are both great performances, but for my money Kevin Michael Richardson’s best performance was Jolee Bindo in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
This show was good. Peter Cullen and frank welker really upped their performance.
Also like how the show’s aesthetics are similar to the movies. Must be an homage or promotion of the movies at the time.
@@ryzen3010It was likely because the show was produced by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the writers for the first two movies.
14:10,bro me too,this show taught me more words than 12yrs schools
Same here! Glad I'm not the only one it's something the show doesn't get nearly enough credit for so it's amazing he talked about it here, I didn't know what the words meant and I couldn't Google it at the time so I always subconsciously relied on context clues to figure out the meaning 😄
Same bro, I'm a non-english speaker. So the fact that my English is even half good is due to shows like these
I really dig how slick Soundwave have become. And then I giggled upon seeing his thick version in the flashbacks. As you proposed an idea for a prequel I instantly thought: "Yes, that would be nice. I NEED TO SEE MOVING WIDEWAVE!"
Now the one thing I wonder, is how did he become anorexic? I mean, he does have a lot of cool stuff in his slenderman-looking body, but why?
@@Alex_Fishman I have a theory that it were all his others minicons :(
My favorite characters are Dreadwing, Predaking and Knockout. Dreadwing because he had the potential to become an Autobot and even Optimus saw that in him. Predaking because he was just a force to be reckoned, he had the strength to defeat Optimus, the only other character to do that was Megatron. Knockout because of his design and funny one liners.
My favorites were Ratchet (guy's always dripping with sass and sarcasm), Smokescreen (one of the only reasons I like season 2), starscream (was literally never a boring scene with him in it) Breakdown (thought he had the most potential to change sides), Dreadwing (always loved the classic noble warrior trope), and Predaking (Loved him in predacon's rising.)
I also really liked TFP's version of Optimus. I know some people don't like him, but I found the take on the character more realistic and battle-hardened. He was a bit cold and tough, but still kind and strong enough to be gentle and warm.
Gotta say, though, season 3 was a little disappointing. But, it gave me a sequence of Ultra Magnus kicking some serious predacon tail pipe, so It won me over.
Man, I wish I grew up with this show. I wish I grew up with transformers. But sadly…I didn’t. I just recently got into transformers a couple of months ago, and transformers prime is the first one I watched. And I…Love this show, it is so freaking good, really…ahead of its time in my opinion. The animation, the character designs, the music, the world building, it’s all…So freaking good! And as for my favorite character…Optimus Prime, easily…hands down my favorite. Heck I’m gonna make a video about him and why he’s my favorite…also why I find him to be…Strangely relatable. Anyway, great video…and an absolutely wonderful show
Give animated and armada a try. They're a bit... different, but incredible in their own ways.
Damn I actually grew up with Prime, it was peak, literally. My favourite was Airachnid... for obvious reasons😂
I think the rock voicing him was the worst thing to happen to cliffjumper.
How?
@@FakeJake5843I think it's because the va being the rock was too expensive, a lot of the prime voice actors were expensive and they wanted to avoid replacing actors mid season so charecters like Breakdown and Airachnid were either killed off or written out of the show
They could have gotten cheaper replacements. They bloody wasted Breakdown because they were too bloody tight fisted!
I would have liked to see more Predacons in season 3. If you just moved Sky Lynx and Darksteel to the show rather than the movie, you can still have their fight and make it work. Like say because Predaking lost his battle with Unicron, the other two question his leadership and role seeing as he lost. He could then fight them both and still have the same result.
Now what the two of them could add to the series is just Predaking actually having forces behind him and also add to the fear of them raised by Starscream.
I am 18 and still rewatching it. Its just sooo good
The constant scavenger hunts also prevented a massive battle every single episode. If Arcee and Bumblebee are getting wrecked by Knockout and Breakdown, where's Optimus? Oh, he's in Venezuela getting pinned down by Starscream and Soundwave
Transformers prime was the first transformers cartoon of my childhood. Now when I am grown up I just wonder how such type of incredible TV show was made possible in 2010. It is an emotion for me. After realizing that this series had ended I felt so bad. Like why?? This type of TV show is just no match to any other shows right now and don't know if it ever will be. My only wish is that some one just revives transformers prime in this way of language, art and graphics.
Kevin was ALSO one of the Primes who appeared to Sam Witwicky in Revenge of the Fallen.
I watched the series a few months back for the first time. Yeah, it ain't perfect, but i just had so much fun with it. The action scenes still blow me away
I enjoyed this show a lot as a child, Prime’s soft spoken voice and attitude fits..it gives him character instead of “RIP AND TEAR” and being aggressively impulsive in his behavior..
And I appreciated the part during the space bridge fight where they added his menacing line “I might derail its objective…by removing its head”…
Loved that they kept that touch from the movies lol..
As for how the rest of it played out, I feel indifferent..I definitely felt it hanging super low by the time the beast hunters crap came..so I have no opinion to the ending but it makes sense..
Also I am SO HAPPY you mentioned the broad vocabulary ! That’s like the biggest highlight that I loved about the show along with not having shame to be semi-dark/gore-like..
Easily my favorite Transformers show and by far the most influential one since the turn of the Millennium.
Transformers Prime was definitely one of THE shows I’ve watched as a kid. Even more then watching G1 episodes on Netflix or Rescue Bots or even one of the movies.
Prime took the best parts from both G1 and the Bayverse, and combined them into what I think, was the best of both worlds. It had badass fight scenes, gritty atmosphere, and a serious & compelling story that the Bayverse had, while also giving the Autobots unique personalities & characteristics that stands out from each other, as well as giving each of the major characters go through arcs that evolves their development that G1 had.
It’s really baffling how Transformers Prime’s now getting a ton of fan backlash, while the Bayverse are actually getting more praise. It’s a messed up world we’re living in.
Now granted, I do think the show has its problems, such as how some of the characters get killed off unnecessarily because of celebrities being unavailable, or how Bumblebee doesn’t talk until the very end of the show, however, the same could be said to all of the Transformers shows. I mean look at G1, sure it started this whole franchise but it’s still a bit campy & over the top. Even Beast Wars, and Transformers Animated had its issues (Like all the CGI in BW looks very ugly & nightmarish, or how some of the characters like Elita-1 & BlackArachinia are somehow one in the same in TFA, when they shouldn’t have been the same character.), so I really don’t think we should only criticize TFP when we should criticize all the Transformers shows, even if we think they’re good.
For a long time, I considered Transformers Prime to be one of the last great Transforrmers cartoons, as everything after RID15 became more G1 based, or at least inspired by G1. The War For Cybertron was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen, and Cyberverse didn’t make me feel interested into the show because of how bland it is. Sure, I love the Bumblebee movie but that was an exception in my part. But, after a few episodes/several clips of Earthspark, as well as seeing Rise of the Beasts, I’d say Transformers is back to its glory… and now that it’s been 14 years since Transformers Prime first aired, I can’t help but applaud the show despite its flaws. I think TFP’s a flawed series, but I still rank it up there with some of the best Transformers has ever come up.
Robots in Disguise should’ve been Smokescreen’s spotlight show following up on the Matrix scene, I would’ve loved to see him follow up on Optimus’s final speech and become a leader without the Matrix. Bee getting his voice back and becoming the leader was a mistake
No it wasn’t
Thanks for pointing out the vocabulary of the show. I learned zenith because of this show and its one of my favorite words now.
Here are some ideas autobots that were cut like iron-hide and sea-spray, season three with 26 episodes originally, season four plans, instead of robot in disguise the original sequel would have tied up loose ends in prime.
I grew up watching this and reruns of G1 on the Hub so those will always be my favorite and nostalgic Transformers shows.
Sadly my innocent brain when I was young chose to watch RiD then Prime. I feel very bad to my old self 😔
Favorite character? Maybe about 3?:
Ratchet - The iconic lines he kept saying, thankfully not that much. Plus who wouldn't like a grumpy bot? Ratchet gave some inspiration about the character development to me. I, myself, did not also like some of the humans. (Especially Miko) But later on, they kind of got some purpose in the show :>
Wheeljack - hear me out, he was badass in this show. Though I understand how much of a change he had from a mad scientist to a ninja wrecker, I appreciate the design, and the character. He and Ultra Magnus's relationship was actually good for me. Like the thing why Wheeljack left, and what it affected to the friendship between Bulkhead and Wheeljack.
Knock out - when I started watching the first few episodes, my volume was on mute (I watch Prime at night time and my old self did not want to get caught) then like, after a few days or weeks, I turned off the volume, and HOLY GUACAMOLE HIS VOICE IS JUIC- *ehem ehem* as I was saying, I was not expecting that kind of voice over. Darran Norris nailed his role, for a moment without his voice over, I thought it was like the normal voices they give to the scientist roles. And finally, his relationship with Breakdown. Them as a duo was cool :D
Favorite quotes:
"Wisdom cannot be granted, it must be earned."
"That one line arcee said when she opened up after she overcame her trauma (i don't remember exactly but I think ut was about don't close yourself to others thingy)"
"Do not lament my absence, for in my spark, I know this is not the end, but merely, a new beginning, simply put, another transformation."
Update: I still keep rewatching Prime over and over.
I, for one, would love a video about cybertronian biology in this universe! It was one of my favorite aspects of this show.
Think there was a poll somewhere for when Prime was supposed to pass the Matrix, who was gonna get it. Optimus name was in the poll and obviously won but I think Arcee was nominated second highest on the vote. There was a name even made for her 'Prime' form but for the life of me I can't remember it.
I believe you’re thinking of the Power of the Primes poll. Arcee was on it, as well as Ultra Magnus, Hound, Megatron, Shockwave, and Deathsaurus. But it was Optimus Primal that won. Funny enough, that poll and eventually that web series is the reason Ron Pearlman voiced Primal in Rise of the Beasts.
This show is still a masterpiece
Great video! Well done. Really informative, thanks!
Love this show!
I’ve been really liking your videos, thanks for all the effort you put into them! Also, I’d love to see a Cybertronian biology video, it’s one of my special interests sooo
Transformers prime is the best of the transformer shows and I’ve seen them all
Transformers Prime is my definitive Transformers incarnation that I will watch till I die. And as a person of age 24, I'm still terrified of Frank Welker's Megatron to this day. It only shows how powerful voice actor can be if they can voice cruel dictator and talking mystery-solving dog and you would have no idea they are the same voice actor. Also RID 2015 is non canon in my eyes.
Bro U and I are the same! LOL thanks so much.
This!
I, too, was an autistic pre-teen with copious amounts of plastic robots when this show released. Good to know I'm far from the only one.
Tbf wheeljack was a mechanic in prime fixing the jsckhammer and he told miko he wasnt always a wrecker
Its a small thing
honestly, the only negatives I can think of are the unfinished plotlines. season 3 getting rushed was noticeable but not really enough to bother me. Prime is easily the best TF show.
Yes, it has special place in our hearts. It will always have an impact on us
@@prateekmishra8923 the best
Sometimes I forget that my perspective on this show is entirely different then most because of how little knowledge I have on any other form of transformers media so it’s a little reassuring to hear that prime still holds up.
I feel like the only thing that annoys me about this show and other transformers media that feature Unicron is how they brush over the fact that humans are technically his "kids" if you think about it.
Transformers prime kind of explored this. Where Optimus tries to convince Unicron that his Resurrection would destroy all human kind. And even points out that humans evolved from him. Of course Unicron called humans parasites.
But I think its potential story telling and gives an excuse for why cybertronians are attracted to earth of all places.
Like, if humans came from Unicron it could technically give an excuse as to why Decepticons might hate humans. And Primes' sequel show could have explored this to actually. But the writers really choose to not explore that at all.
But those are my thoughts.
Overall, i do love prime and I like this video you made. Really is nostalgic seeing everyone share the same love I have for this show.
I agree with the fact that other characters could’ve filled certain roles better. I don’t like when the personality of one character is placed onto another, or when an unrelated character is just given a pre-existing name. I’d like the core of a character to be maintained.
One of my biggest issues with the show, while mostly a nitpick, is that Megatron wasn't renamed Galvatron in the Predacons Rising film.
tbf he wasnt really galvatron since normally galvatron has control(for the most part) but in the predacons rising film hes a corspe bing moved about by unicron
"HotRod" was not used because of some copyright issues over the name in a lot of countries at that time.
11:22 how are you gonna mention the LEGEND of Nolan North but not mention some of his most ICONIC rolls outside of TF and TMNT twin😭😭😭
Was a masterpiece!!!
I remember watching it when it came out but also I just rewatched it and it was as good as I remember. It’s so damn good
I think my biggest criticism is that the guns felt so inconsistent, especially RC, I don’t even know why she even tried shooting anyone
I remember growing up with prime but not beast hunters because some complications happen. But I missed this show once I got older until at some point it was on Netflix years back and I finally got to finish the show. It was worth binging and I remember making some paper swords because of the Star saber and dark saber swords then my mom caught me up in the middle of the night.
My first episode was Crisscross. Really nice way to start the series. I originally thought MECH was a government agency until Fowler showed up.
tbh the only major criticism i think is that bingewatching it could get taxing since as you mentioned people founding it formulaic
I had a serious déjà vu of your video, felt like sharing that
Thanks for defending the action, I watched a youtuber (who will remain anonymous) complaining that the fight scenes were the same throughout the whole show yet he defended Beast Wars where the show BARELY has any non ranged fight scenes (like no joke, I can count on one hand the amount of CQC fights that lasted close to or over a minute in beast wars (Primal vs Dinobot, Dragon Megs vs Optimal Optimus, TM2 Cheetor vs TM2 Dinobot, Depth Charge vs Ramapge (still hate how they died) and that's all I can recall for CQC fights)). Like pretty much every fight in BW was "both sides shoot at one another till one side dips".
I also remember him mention the plot was boring when BW also felt boring (seriously did season one even HAVE a plot other than "Maximals screw up Predacon plan number XXX). also G1 Transformers never had a plot to my knowledge (I don't care it was a 80's show, BW had a friggin plot in season 3 and so G1 has NO excuse) yet he still defends that thing likes its the second coming of christ.
Not to mention he also called the characters boring and lifeless ESPECIALLY Optimus which is straight up false saying how "Prime should be funny not serious" when that defeats the whole purpose of the friggin show. How out of place would it be if the show remained the same only G1 optimus was in it and he kept makin jokes every episode.
12:00 I'll never be able to unsee Bulkhead with shredder claws and now I want a toy of that
I think I know who you're talking about, and have different gripes with his video despite agreeing with him mostly on other points. Mainly the idea that 'only one allowed to defeat you' instantly destroys a character's respect (I sympathize with this due to the number of fanfiction roleplays I've been in where fights that were supposed to be personal were interrupted) and Soundwave being boring instead of creepy.
The Soundwave bit is just a lie. He DOES emote, quite frequently honestly, and I honest-to-God doubt that anyone who sees TFP Soundwave doesn't know he was clearly inspired to some degree by Slenderman, unless they just don't know who Slenderman is. I also hate the idea that characters who don't speak or have obvious faces for the sake of being mysteries are boring. Is Pernida Parnkgjas boring?
This is My all-time favourite transformer series. Even above G1. I have some issues with it and some personal want like instead of Having bulkhead and smoke screen, I personally would have had Ironhide and hot Rod.
It's hard to believe this movie now 11 years old hack! Thirst not only premiered on my last day as 7th grader but my friend's birthday. Lost contact with him during high school and i only saw prime week after my birthday on Saturday mornings in cw vortexx until i got the show on DVD first two seasons and darkness rising and predacons rising and beast hunters
4:32 WAIT UP. I recognize some of these from the game, they've added concept art and even a video of how making an episode is. I played this game a lot and it got me interested in the series. I didn't have any toy (though i wanted a Bumblebee toy as this is my favorite design for him), but i did have the game and watched it all i could. Recently the TH-cam algorithm has sent me on a wave of Transformers Prime videos and i never thought this series was considered that great
00:11 as a fellow TH-camr THIS IS SO RELATABLE XD
Out of all the TF shows this was my favourite.
This shit was gold. Everything following has been downhill ever since.
What i would improve on this show is casting J.K. Simmons as Ratchet, Sam Worthington as Smokescreen, Fred Tatasciore as Breakdown, Stephen Lang as Silas, and Keith David as Soundwave and the reasons why? For Ratchet’s case, after hearing J.K. Simmons voice as Tenzin from Legend Of Korra, it made me wish he voiced Ratchet instead, for Smokescreen’s case, after hearing Worthington’s voice after finish TF Prime, it made me wish he voiced Smokescreen instead, for Breakdown’s case, I never liked how he sounded like and he should’ve sounded more like Hulk if he’s going to be bulky and Fred Tatasciore should’ve voiced Breakdown instead using his Hulk voice, for Silas’s case, like Smokescreen, after hearing Stephen lang’s voice after finishing TF Prime, he should’ve been casted as the voice of Silas as Stephen Lang’s voice sounds better for Silas than Clancy Brown’s voice and for Soundwave’s case, I hated how he sounded like in Transformers Prime despite the fact he’s voiced by Frank Welker, it just doesn’t sound good and it’s the same problem I have with the bayverse movie Soundwave and if they wanted him to sound more sinister, they should’ve casted Keith David instead and if you watched Young Justice in which Keith David voiced Mongul, his voice sounds better and bad ass and doesn’t need to be gruff and it’s the reason why Keith David should’ve voiced Soundwave instead using his Mongul voice from Young Justice.
Silas was my introduction to Clancy Brown as an actor so I might be biased, but I think the voice is perfect.
Also I now can't stop imagining Ratchet with a J. Jonah Jameson face.
@@HOLDENPOPE J.K. Simmons in my opinion would do a bad ass job voicing Ratchet and I still would have preferred Stephen Lang to have voiced Silas cause his performance as Col. Miles Quaritch from Avatar is what introduced me to him and he always should’ve played Sgt. Zim in Starship Troopers as Stephen Lang would do a more bad ass job as he played Col. Miles Quaritch in Avatar.
Can you please make a video on the different organs and what they do and on the protoforms and on the predacons please
16:34 that arm actually belongs to leige maximo
Also i really think that the wheeljack in this show is more like wheeljack as this is the first ever Transformers content i saw so the wheeljack here is most most fitting according to me rather than an inventor
Loved this show the best transformers show ever
Peak, I love Prime
My only minor nitpick with the show is that Optimus doesn't appear in all the episodes. Overall, Transformers Prime is FANTASTIC.
1:14 We are cool! This show is awesome! - Luke
Man I never had the og TFP toys 😭 I was more of a Bayformer collector courtesy of my parents who’d do to TOYS R US for me. Somehow they never knew I loved TFP until beast hunters when my local rite-aid starting getting beast hunters toys which is where I got a handful of them. Prime, bulkhead, ratchet and some of the concept predacons that didn’t appear in the final product
2:12 Same for me, that was my first episode lol - Luke
19:05 i always imagined that optimus would just be reborn just as the original optimus prime became orion pax
It wasnt perfect, but no show is. Still probably my favorite design style, better than anything after it, and while I do love g1s styles this has more intricacy that I absolutely love
Last time i watched the full series on Netflix I noticed the stakes constantly being big to the point that it felt like the writers never knew at first if our bots would make it, there are definitely a couple of times optimus Comes close to dying before the end I wonder if that was just for marketing or if they never knew if the show would go on, in the case of smokescreen I think originally Optimus Was goes to dye and he would take the matrix of leadership But because most fans Hated smokescreen , they decide to use this moment for character growth. Just thoughts.
i just think that us transformer fans don’t get enough genuinely good content to hate on transformers prime. like if youre hating on transformers prime then what is ur gold standard of transformers television. obv most of us love g1 but im sure we can all agree its nowhere near coherent at times. beast wars is great throughout. but what else?? unicron trilogy gets hella hate but i love it still.
i just don’t feel like any of us have the authority to hate on prime. it’s just leagues better than the majority of transformers content. every transformers show has several issues (besides beast wars)
edit: transformers animated is amazing too but my point still stands
The prime Cliff Jumper original toy was awesome! They released it through Toys “R” Us. I don’t know why they didn’t make it the main stream version because I agree with you they won. They released in the market sucked, but the original version looked just like the character, and they even made a Takara Tomy exclusive where he was his ZOMBIFIED version I still on both to this day and their probably some of my favorite transformers toys I own!
I love this series so much
.
My favorite character is Megatron
I related the the opening of the video SO HEAVILY. like TH-cam, sort out ur copyright, how is a no audio, 3 second edited clip infringing copyright
Funny how scrap heap was my first episode aswell
its my favourite show ever probably(not best) even as a kid but i always wondered why people would drone on about how good gumball adventure time regular show was back in 2020 when everyone seemed to have a nostalgia phase, i remember watching them when they came out and i was unimpressed(watched them from time to time to see if it got better but for me it never did)its like pre 2013 the cartoon network shows were forgotten unless you were like 23 back in 2020 since they always talked about teen titans when it was airing or samurai jack even classic ben 10 which i watched re runs (eventually alien and ultimate alien)and thought it was miles better than gumball adventure time regular show. they also seem to have forgot mystery Incorporated which was the best scooby doo show
Man, the cancelation of the space pirates saga for this show would have been so goooood
Never realised ratchet was Jeffrey combs and dreadwing was fucking Tony Todd! Omg horror legends
😎cool
I use a lot of longer words, simply because of watching prime. Such as propagate, and zenith.
Transformers prime was.my childhood I had 1dvd and I rewached the episodes over and over agian. And QUESTION coud you make video about Slugterra bcs I really enjoyed this video and I love Slugterra
Sorry I’ve never heard of Slugterra and have no interest in reviewing it. Thank you for sharing your experience with TFP though.
This was honestly the first version of Transformers since G1 that I really was able to enjoy I didn't like beast wars and I didn't like all the other stuff that came up with but Prime I really enjoyed.
I think M.E.C.H would've been cooler if the organization's major members were 'reincarnated' versions of the Human Villains from G1 or maybe even animated! Like Dr. Arkeville, Lord Chumley, Shawn, Shawn Berger, Josie Beller (Cirtcuitbreaker), Prometheus Black, what sorts of story-lines could you imagine if Silas had characters like these at their beg and call?
Nolan north who also voices..... EVERYONE EVERYWHERE
I love prime and Megatron
18:19 I literally said hotrod at the Same time 🤣😂😭also I now remember why I hated smokescreen, it's because he reminded me of hotrod whom I also disliked majorly
I think primes greatest strength was its characterization, their characters were well written
And my fav characters are always
Megatron, sound wave and arachnid
Take a shot every time someone says “It stands to reason…”
Could you please do a video on Transformers Animated?
I would want to see some aspects on transformers biological view points hack if transformers were real and if there was a transformers university I'll attend medschool.
The best serie
Great series and finalie overall. Some mistakes, but better than other series
It would be great if u make more TFP videos
i did not know people hated this show ive only seen people who say they love it
can some1 explain me what happend to megatron after the movie beacouse he is alive
and why in robots in disguise bumblebee didnt tried to talk to raph again
Unfortunately Hasbro did not care about the Bumblebee and Raph connection after Prime. And I too wish Megatron’s story continued after Predacons Rising.
@@Granditamias but starscream went with megatron after the movie so why when he came back to earth megatron wasnt there :(
Starscream didn’t go with Megatron. He went back to Darkmount and then got killed by the Predacons. -RID is non canon-
@@Granditamias true i forgot that part thanks
Yeah, the show is a masterpiece.What do you mean people hate it
this show is amazinggg but the budget hurt it a lot i think
