“All are one” is a reference to the classic transformers line “till all are one” The meaning differs from series to series but generally refers to all cybertronians becoming one with primus after death
"Till all are one" is more of a line until all are unified without division and conflict which is the autobots way of saying that they are trying to achieve peace.
Elita and Arcee are not the same character. Elita was Optimus love interest, while Arcee is her own independent bot. Arcee is actually in this film. She's the miner bot who shouted, "Miners! There are miners like us!" during the race.
24:25 Ignorance is bliss, at this point D-16 is regretting even knowing because he's so angry, probably more angry and disappointed than he has ever been in his life, dude worshiped Sentinel, put all his trust in him, only to know Sentinel killed his Idol, and lied to his face. He's processing everything he's learned, and is doing so in the worst way possible, he wants to kill sentinel and became erratic to the point he became hostile towards Orion, he's acting while processing instead of processing then acting.
Exactly! Hence why Orion was against him publicly executing Sentinel. Orion knew Sentinel was beyond redemption and wanted to take him down, but he knew that starting the reformation off on a violent erradication of the former elite would not benefit Cybertron's future long-term. Plus he didn't want him or anyone else become the very person they aspire to take down in the first place. Sadly Megatron was too far gone in his anger and thirst for revenge to properly see the long-term effects of his actions. He just wanted to make Sentinel pay for destroying his life by any means necessary. 😢
D-16's fight happy nature makes a bit more sense when you realise that the T-cog does not pick their transformation for them. As Alpha Trion said, he merely unlocked what they were already supposed to have. D-16, is a tank. Which implies he was supposed to be a Warrior, had it not been for Sentinel reducing him to a mere miner.
You can't help but respect D-16's willpower. He did in one day what Starscream and the High Guard couldn't do in years. For all his faults, you can see why the Decepticons chose to follow him.
Elita-1 is her own character. She's actually from the 2nd season of G1 where Arcee first appears in the '86 Movie. Fun fact: Elita-1 was once Optimus Prime's girlfriend
The class system in the IDW comics is much more sinister. The Cybertronian senate was already corrupt, but there's a faction called the Functionist which is basically hardcore "if your alt mode is x then you're only allowed to do x, no a to w, no y no z". One character managed to change jobs but they kept screwing him over by basically making him pay protection money and got his place of business ruined, so he turned to crime. When he got caught, his punishment was having his face and hands removed (which also added another layer of insidiousness bc the procedure almost always performed on Cybertronians who were born with their bodies already made for them, instead of letting protoform morph around their sparks), so they end up being like cyclop robots with pincer hands, rendering him unable to even go back to that job he wanted to do.

He actually is part of the chain of events that led IDW Orion Pax/Optimus to confront the Senate, which led to him meeting... Senator Shockwave. Yes, for the uninitiated, this senator is the same Shockwave that would become the cold and calculating mad scientist of the Decepticons. He too went through the same 'loss of identity' procedure as Whirl. I think it’s called 'Empurata' or something.

Orion was right in saying that the new age can't start with an execution. I think he kinda messed it up by saying "don't be like Sentinel" in that moment, because you can see how offended D was by that. Like "how dare you compare what I'm doing to this guy who put us through sufferring?" Again, Orion wasn't wrong, but it really did trigger a self - fulfilling prophecy that is the inevitability of Megatron. Man he's lucky Orion gets the blessing of the Primes and gets revived as Optimus. Imagine an alternate timeline where Orion is just dead and Megatron goes through a rampage across Iacon after killing Sentinel and eventually, Cybertron gets destroyed by the Quintessons. I can only think of him finally sobering up to the reality that he killed his friend and he doesn't even have his planet anymore. What was that all for, then?
7:22 funny how you said we might get to see guys like wheeljack, Ironhide, ratchet, and we already see them through the first part of the movie. In fact, it was wheeljack who found the energon vein and caused the cave collapse. Just that that was funny
Never really liked the Primus with a red chest, they tried to make him look like Optimus too much so I really appreciate that they went with the classic Cybertron design
Brian Tyree Henry really out did himself with his incredible performance and his deep understanding of Megatron since always wanted to play the villains. Every villain is a hero of his and her own Story. D-16 is not only a product of Cybertron’s corrupted system and takes on Sentinel Prime’s oppression though violent means all the social injustices he had experiences forged his transcendence into Megatron and building up to a rivalry with Orion turned Optimus Prime (due to wanting the same goal of a unified Cybertron but have different viewpoints). But their friendship is doomed since they discovered that shocking realization their leader Sentinel Prime had sold out Cybertron to the Quintessons after betraying his fellow Prime brothers and sisters, and ruled his planet through oppression. D-16 has put too much faith in the system he has held on to until his worldview was shattered that boils up to anger and a personal vengeance after being suffered of the social injustices while Orion still kept his optimism by exposing the truth of Sentinel's corruption. This what makes D-16 a much more of a compelling hero-turned-villain and tragic character in Transformers history. And the rift between two brothers. Both D-16 and Orion really wanted a unified Cybertron but each have different ways to bringing it into fruition.
Exactly! Brian just excelled and killed it so much so that we can feel that slow building rage that eventually turns D-16 into Megatron. And his delivery is so convincing that the turn just feels organic.
Arcee was in several scenes throughout the movie. She was in the audience for the Iocon 5000 race 10:32, and when Orion Pax gave his speech before the fight, she was right there in the front, 33:46.
The symbolic dichotomy during the silent scene after D-16 drops Orion is heartbreaking. One of them is falling and the other is rising. Yet the one who is rising literally is the one who falls. And the one who is falling literally is the one to rise.
As a Transformers fan since G1 and the 90’s era, this movie makes me really happy to see Elita One get more focused and action. Scarlet Johansson fits perfectly for the character like she did with Black widow. I hope our favorite female Autobot lives longer in surviving the upcoming Autobot-Decepticon Civil War in future sequels. The only animated show where Elita one I know alive with Optimus Prime is in Earthspark. None of us want Orion/Optimus to suffered like he is in Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy Netflix series.
I’m not a huge transformers fan but I’ve been binging tons of these videos just to see people to react to the line at 24:38 , and I think your reaction has taken place as my favorite LMAO
Fun fact: Alpha Trion, robot who reveals the truth about Sentinel Prime, is voiced by no other than Laurence Fishburne, same actor who plays Morpheus in matrix, once more time telling another people they're living in a lie
Thank you for being one of only youtubers to see that Megatron brought this on himself. He let his anger for one bad and false Prime. Primus didn't want his transformers fighting amongst themselves, but to be unified..aka All Are One. Really deep when you think of it meaning we as humans are all alike regardless of skin color, where we are from, etc...we are all humans. Primus picked Prime because he sees this his is design and since Prime had Matrix Primus was able to give the cogs back to the cogless.
@@Kay-Pee I've been a fan for ten years and I still learning, like new bots and stuff, and I love how they manage to create a new origin story, for example one Pax was a police, other was an archvist and in this one a miner, now imagine every kind of origin for each character, so many ways to tell a single story, we couldn't guess what'll happen next
@@Kay-Peethe Japanese toys weren’t selling because the toys have basic names/designs. Hasbro took the company to try to sell the concept of cars transforming into Robots in America and they revamped the line. They made the legendary resigns of Optimus prime bumblebee and Megatron also the names, which took the franchise by storm eventually making the TV series
One thing that is easier to catch upon re-watch, is all the cameos. For example, when Orion is giving his pep talk, the core cast of Autobots are surrounding him (Jazz, Arcee, Ironhide, Brawn, Hound, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe etc..)
The entire racing sequence is my absolute favorite part of this movie. It's like a Cybertronian version of Nascar!🏎🏍🏁 Fun fact: Transformers veteran and VA Steve Blum made cameo as the Iacon 5,000 Race Announcer.
Bee running like mark Ruffalo in that one avengers blooper always get me lol. Also I noticed Elita's fighting style is similar to Black Widow's fighting style too.
Elita-1 actually predates Arcee. She first appeared in season 2 of the G1 cartoon, where it's revealed that she stayed behind on Cybertron to lead a group of female Autobots against Shockwave. In the episode "War Dawn" we see Optimus' origin story. Orion Pax as just a dock worker during the Golden Age of Cybertron, working alongside his girlfriend, Eriel, and best friend, Dion. One day, Megatron attacks the warehouse where they stored energon, fatally wounding both Orion and Eriel. Orion was taken to a young Alpha Trion who used the matrix to rebuild him as Optimus Prime, later using Prime's blueprints to rebuild Eriel into Elita-1.
The amount of Megatron sympathizers that watched this movie is INSANE 💀 I hear mfs be like "Megatron did nothing wrong" after watching him try to preform a public execution
5:48 In fairness, it's okay to not have read the comics (although I do recommend them.) It's not a "comic adaptation," in the traditional sense. The original Marvel comic and G1 Cartoon began roughly around the same time and were kind of doing their own separate things, even though they had the same premise and same characters. Since then, every comic, novel, show, movie and game has been creating its own original lore unless it's explicitly stated to be connected to something else. This film takes inspiration from a number of different previous continuities, but it's also telling its own new, unique story.
Megatron's "fallen into darkside" is better written than Anakin's. We were shown Orion & D laughed, cried, did stupid shit together, and adventured together. These highlighted their bond making D's falling dramatic & impactful. They did a good job making me emotional invested. There were 3 robot-related movies that made me tears- Batteries Not Included, Short Circuit, and Bumblebee. This makes my 4th.
Yeah I always thought they shoulda started the Star Wars sequel trilogy with Anakin as Obi-wans apprentice and over three movies show that bond and it woulda been more heart wrenching by third movie. Them fighting together, getting out of trouble together, etc. lost opportunity
Definitely refreshing to see a reactor that wasn’t messing with D-16’s actions lol. Dude was not in his right mind and let rage completely blind him from anything else. The minute he started projecting in the cave saying shit like “That’s your problem, you’re never thinking about anybody else, just yourself!” I was like oh nah, Orion from the beginning was all about making Cybertron better. He was literally ALWAYS thinking about others and the good of the people, D was the one constantly only thinking of himself, even before his decent into rage. It was always about HIS rank, HIM getting demoted, HE was going places etc.
D16 was right about one thing, Sentinel has to be gone. Sentinel is foul for what he did, it's one thing to betray the primes and want power to yourself but to lie to your people, destroying your own home and putting people into slavery. That's messed up, that he established an unfair system. D16 allowed his emotions to take him over which is not good and it's his fault but you cannot blame him since he had no power as well as being a follower, following and believing in his idol and the system of Cybertron. If you think about it, that just proves that both Optimus Prime and Megatron want the same thing for the plant and their people. Unified as one but has different idealogies to get it which sets up the famous civil war. If you really deep it, its like Professor X and Magneto in X-Men First Class
It's nice to see a new viewer understand how D 16 is wrong as he turns into Megatron and how he's completely unhinged and acting out of selfish desire. I've seen people claim he's the hero and somehow orion/Optimus is the villain. Complete lunacy.
No kidding, it like Rodimus situation all over again. Orion were protecting Sentinal because he dont want his best friend end up using rage and murder as a way to bring back Cybertron the peace and glory. Orion want to use peace and fair justice, match with him "optimus" believe while D-16 just let rage consume him...
Megatron indeed WAS a hero. He slayed the dragon. Ironically the dragon slayer turned into a more vicious dragon. Megatron is a sad tragedy. He's a product of a series of unfortunate circumstances.
This movie was amazing! And I'm glad someone is finally media literate on understanding the 2 parallels with their viewpoint. While D16 was justified for his feelings and anger, you said it perfectly where he was too focused on how personally betrayed and focused too much on resolving through emotion, vs. Orion who wanted to actually solve the problem even though he also felt betrayed as well. I know it's not as straightforward as "emotion vs. logic" but I don't want to yap on lmao. People always root for mob violence, but then end up shocked when everything is burning to the ground. edit: also just the add, the rage is absolutely understandable. Sentinel literally created classism and racism by crippling a proportion of the population from birth so he can live wealth all whilst bowing to dictators demands. You have no say in your outcome. I'd be enraged too, no "virus" necessary.
Damn, now I gotta watch the whole movie before seeing your reaction! 😭😭BRB! Update: this took me back to watching Transformers as a little kid! Well done for sure! From what I've studied in med school, Megatron is the prime definition of someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. P.S. How are you emotionally since Dealthy Hallows pt. 2?
I never thought of the real life psychology of Megatron's condition, but I now want to have a therapist do an analysis on the psychology of Megatron. 🤔
After all he did take the same cog that belonged to *The Fallen* 👀 But also i think the whole bit of: "Their individuality... Enhanced... By these." Had he never gotten a cog. He wouldn't have been blinded by strength and rage. It amplified what was dormant.
38:13 the core having a virus is actually a good idea and makes sense for megatron switching up [ik he switched up because sentinel prime (his idol maybe? Or he just trusted him so badly) turns out to be a bad guy but the core being a virus is a good support for his switch up in my opinion, maybe like the prime that previously used that cog could hide his virus and have been sabotaging the other primes in secret] and physical change
That would make an interesting dynamic in the War. The Madmech was infected by corrupted programming and his old friend is trying snap him out of the corrupted programming. But the more time he is infected the deeper and intensity of the corruption slowly becomes more irrepairable. 😢
Orion Pax/Optimus Prime is voiced by Chris Hemsworth(Whom you probably know as Thor from the MCU and Warlord/ Dr. Dementus from "Furiosa"),D-16/Megatron is voiced by Bryan Tyree Henry(Who was Detective Mike Norris in the "Child`s Play" 2019 Reboot and the hospital desk dude in "Joker" Arthur Fleck grabbed his mom`s psych file out of the hands of), Sentinel Prime is voiced by Jon Hamm from "Mad Men", Elita 1 is voiced by Scarlett Johansson and Bumblebee/B-127 is voiced by Michael Keegan Key of "Key and Peele", "Epic Rap Battles of History" and "The Predator" fame or infamy however you look at it. Incidentally, Peter Cullen, the OG Optimus Prime, provided creature effects for the first Predator Film. Those clicking noises, The Predator mimicking the perverted marine Billy`s evil laugh and Dutch`s "You`re one ugly motherfucker"? That was all Peter Cullen!
Cool detail that while his cogless, the helmet resambles the original commercial, but once getting megatronus' cog becomes more official. Also his fusion canon was very generation One!
"Hasbro owns Transformers, since when?" Since 1984. It was originally a toyline from Japanese American businessman Takara Tokoyama who made a deal with Hasbro in the 1980s.
14:48 one thing people need to remember with some of the jokes that they’re throwing things in for the kids to bring them in to watch it. 21:35 He’s a prime a son of Primus so their powers would be stronger than all other transformers. This shows why Optimus and Megatron are so strong and why Bee is so strong even though he’s small because they received their cogs from the original primes. 23:54 either one of the first or deemed fit to hold the Matrix of Leadership.
from what i can gather, in this continuity "prime" is a title that was originally bestowed on the original 13, but i feel is likely to be passed down as kinda like if there were 13 popes. usually its a title that started as something "holy" and eventually became a military title
i keep yapping, my bad, but yea i really love how their relationship felt very real and it's genuinely sad seeing their fallout like this. Like we all know how it's going to end up, but they wrote their relationship so well, I desperately didn't want them to become enemies at the end.
HELL YEAH!!! You're the first reactor I've seen to actually understand why Orion was trying to stop D-16 from killing Sentinel! The specific use of action and violence in the movie is so good; up until D-16 executed Sentinel, all the fighting done was in self-defense or in the process of rescuing hostages. With Sentinel, it was a completely different circumstance.
D-16's problem was that he failed to see the forest from the trees. Yes, he had every right to feel betrayed by Sentinel Prime, and Sentinel's actions, after they found out, only further give legitimacy to his reasons for being mad. However, he failed to see how his actions would hurt others, and how the citizens of Iocon didn't deserve to nearly be killed because they were lied to as well. Yet, D-16 was only thinking about himself, and acted like he was the only one who got betrayed in all of this when that's not true. Orion Pax was betrayed by Sentinel as well, but Orion took it more as obligation to let others know about it, so they can rise up against Sentinel's tyranny. D-16 took it more personally like he was the only one that got affected, and I think that's made him snap.
I don't think the cog had anything to do with Megatron's descent into darkness. I think it was always there. He believed in the system wholeheartedly, and the entire thing was shown to be a lie.
Fun fact 1: the powers Alpha Tyrion uses are the result of being a Prime. All 13 Primes were granted powers by Primus. Fun Fact 2: in many stories, Cybertron suffers under a strict caste system. Meaning if you were born a miner , you were not allowed to be anything else and had “ miner only” places on the planet to visit. Same for soldiers, librarian and any other job was isolated based on their function. This is why D16 and Orion Pax are named so different. Miners are the lowest on the social ladder. Orion Pax is a librarian in many Transformers stories and so was valuable to society. Fun fact 3: Qintessons are made by Unicron the sworn enemy of Primus. Fun fact 4: every name on the racing leader board is an actual Transformers character from different stories. Fun fact 5: there is NO political correctness here. The word most used to describe Transformers is Cybertronian. Autobots and Decepticons are the factions in the civil war.
Love transformers and this movie especially. I think this is THE best transformers movie but if I would to rank em, I can’t put it over the 2007 film. I fw w u and your reaction. Subscribed
Transformers was originally a japanese toyline that didn't go very well, was about to be put down, Hasbro bought it, renamed it transformers and had marvel writers make backstories and proper names and stuff for the characters in the 80s
At 12:00 now. Yeah fhis is my thing. All my comments help the channel trolls, calm down lol. Anyways, you hit on one of my favorite parts of the movie. The diversity "God that word is so tainted now its hard to say" of their transformations. Everything before it, other than maybe comics to a small extent, have used the 2md half of these being's existance, as sort of a way to get fron point a, to b, like its their car or some shit. If you can morph your hody at will, youd do that shit all the time right? Got hand stuck in some bars ir somethkng? Transform it and free. Someone holding you fron behind? Cool, a quick flup, 🎉and now im running you over, or dropping you from a few hundred feet up. LOVE IT!

You have to factor what d16 loss aswell and his problems with Optimus and how he feels Optimus treats him and his view of Optimus.
this is new easy version origin of transformers... give idea the golden age of cybertron... hope they can made transformers two even they say is a flop.
30:48 “Starscream, in what universe are you not a pussy that just runs away?” Shattered Glass Starscream: 🤨 Armada Starscream: 🤨 Bayverse Starscream: 🤨
Has ro has owned transformers since they imported them from Japan in 82 or 83...the cartoon started in 84 and the first movie happened in 86...this movie is a mix of lor from all the shows. Also, to be a Prime you have to be chosen by Primus.
I'm at 9:30. If i were you, I'd he more impressed eith the guy who you cant figure out his idemtity. THAT to me is good voice acting, but yeah Thor brought the thunder too fo sho.

The only animated show where Elita one I know alive with Optimus Prime is in Earthspark. None of us want Orion/Optimus to suffered like he is in Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy Netflix series.
I’m not a huge transformers fan but I’ve been binging tons of these videos just to see people to react to the line at 24:38 , and I think your reaction has taken place as my favorite LMAO
Alpha trion was watching Megatron go off like “this boy low key spitting and I’m here for it “
Fun fact: Alpha Trion, robot who reveals the truth about Sentinel Prime, is voiced by no other than Laurence Fishburne, same actor who plays Morpheus in matrix, once more time telling another people they're living in a lie
Thank you for being one of only youtubers to see that Megatron brought this on himself. He let his anger for one bad and false Prime. Primus didn't want his transformers fighting amongst themselves, but to be unified..aka All Are One. Really deep when you think of it meaning we as humans are all alike regardless of skin color, where we are from, etc...we are all humans. Primus picked Prime because he sees this his is design and since Prime had Matrix Primus was able to give the cogs back to the cogless.
And who pushed him over the edge? Maybe the dumbass that took a Bullet for a Dictator?
D-16 grab his hand. Megatron let him go.
Hasbro kinda "invented" Transformers, of course the toys existed a bit of time before in Japan
I thought it was Japan too. I thought Hasbro just handled sourcing to the west. Learn something new everyday
@@Kay-Pee I've been a fan for ten years and I still learning, like new bots and stuff, and I love how they manage to create a new origin story, for example one Pax was a police, other was an archvist and in this one a miner, now imagine every kind of origin for each character, so many ways to tell a single story, we couldn't guess what'll happen next
@@Kay-Peethe Japanese toys weren’t selling because the toys have basic names/designs. Hasbro took the company to try to sell the concept of cars transforming into Robots in America and they revamped the line. They made the legendary resigns of Optimus prime bumblebee and Megatron also the names, which took the franchise by storm eventually making the TV series
0:13 Light hearted… okay-
I didn't care what people said or stupid reviews about this movie before. I want to watch this movie myself. And I love it. Awesome movie
One thing that is easier to catch upon re-watch, is all the cameos. For example, when Orion is giving his pep talk, the core cast of Autobots are surrounding him (Jazz, Arcee, Ironhide, Brawn, Hound, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe etc..)
The entire racing sequence is my absolute favorite part of this movie. It's like a Cybertronian version of Nascar!🏎🏍🏁
Fun fact: Transformers veteran and VA Steve Blum made cameo as the Iacon 5,000 Race Announcer.
D-16 is fr just young kratos💀
Bee running like mark Ruffalo in that one avengers blooper always get me lol. Also I noticed Elita's fighting style is similar to Black Widow's fighting style too.
Elita-1 actually predates Arcee. She first appeared in season 2 of the G1 cartoon, where it's revealed that she stayed behind on Cybertron to lead a group of female Autobots against Shockwave. In the episode "War Dawn" we see Optimus' origin story. Orion Pax as just a dock worker during the Golden Age of Cybertron, working alongside his girlfriend, Eriel, and best friend, Dion. One day, Megatron attacks the warehouse where they stored energon, fatally wounding both Orion and Eriel. Orion was taken to a young Alpha Trion who used the matrix to rebuild him as Optimus Prime, later using Prime's blueprints to rebuild Eriel into Elita-1.
The amount of Megatron sympathizers that watched this movie is INSANE 💀 I hear mfs be like "Megatron did nothing wrong" after watching him try to preform a public execution
5:48 In fairness, it's okay to not have read the comics (although I do recommend them.) It's not a "comic adaptation," in the traditional sense. The original Marvel comic and G1 Cartoon began roughly around the same time and were kind of doing their own separate things, even though they had the same premise and same characters. Since then, every comic, novel, show, movie and game has been creating its own original lore unless it's explicitly stated to be connected to something else.
This film takes inspiration from a number of different previous continuities, but it's also telling its own new, unique story.
Megatron's "fallen into darkside" is better written than Anakin's. We were shown Orion & D laughed, cried, did stupid shit together, and adventured together. These highlighted their bond making D's falling dramatic & impactful. They did a good job making me emotional invested.
There were 3 robot-related movies that made me tears- Batteries Not Included, Short Circuit, and Bumblebee. This makes my 4th.
Yeah I always thought they shoulda started the Star Wars sequel trilogy with Anakin as Obi-wans apprentice and over three movies show that bond and it woulda been more heart wrenching by third movie. Them fighting together, getting out of trouble together, etc. lost opportunity
@@chrischreative2245 they did try in Star War but somehow doesn't work well. Felt not... what word should I use? I think 'organic' ?
Now I almost wish I had seen this in the theater, it looks really good.
This has to be my favorite Transformers movie. Didn’t truly appreciate it in the theater until I rewatched it multiple times on tv, now I’m HOOKED.
0:54 they created the franchise…
lol I was so confused in that statement
Definitely refreshing to see a reactor that wasn’t messing with D-16’s actions lol. Dude was not in his right mind and let rage completely blind him from anything else. The minute he started projecting in the cave saying shit like “That’s your problem, you’re never thinking about anybody else, just yourself!” I was like oh nah, Orion from the beginning was all about making Cybertron better. He was literally ALWAYS thinking about others and the good of the people, D was the one constantly only thinking of himself, even before his decent into rage. It was always about HIS rank, HIM getting demoted, HE was going places etc.
D16 was right about one thing, Sentinel has to be gone. Sentinel is foul for what he did, it's one thing to betray the primes and want power to yourself but to lie to your people, destroying your own home and putting people into slavery. That's messed up, that he established an unfair system.
D16 allowed his emotions to take him over which is not good and it's his fault but you cannot blame him since he had no power as well as being a follower, following and believing in his idol and the system of Cybertron. If you think about it, that just proves that both Optimus Prime and Megatron want the same thing for the plant and their people. Unified as one but has different idealogies to get it which sets up the famous civil war.
If you really deep it, its like Professor X and Magneto in X-Men First Class
It's nice to see a new viewer understand how D 16 is wrong as he turns into Megatron and how he's completely unhinged and acting out of selfish desire. I've seen people claim he's the hero and somehow orion/Optimus is the villain. Complete lunacy.
No kidding, it like Rodimus situation all over again. Orion were protecting Sentinal because he dont want his best friend end up using rage and murder as a way to bring back Cybertron the peace and glory. Orion want to use peace and fair justice, match with him "optimus" believe while D-16 just let rage consume him...
Megatron indeed WAS a hero. He slayed the dragon. Ironically the dragon slayer turned into a more vicious dragon.
Megatron is a sad tragedy. He's a product of a series of unfortunate circumstances.
This movie was amazing! And I'm glad someone is finally media literate on understanding the 2 parallels with their viewpoint. While D16 was justified for his feelings and anger, you said it perfectly where he was too focused on how personally betrayed and focused too much on resolving through emotion, vs. Orion who wanted to actually solve the problem even though he also felt betrayed as well. I know it's not as straightforward as "emotion vs. logic" but I don't want to yap on lmao. People always root for mob violence, but then end up shocked when everything is burning to the ground. edit: also just the add, the rage is absolutely understandable. Sentinel literally created classism and racism by crippling a proportion of the population from birth so he can live wealth all whilst bowing to dictators demands. You have no say in your outcome. I'd be enraged too, no "virus" necessary.
Your one of the few reactors who is on Orions side when he interferes with D-16. You are worthy of the Matrix of Leadership
Tbh, I hear Megatron's voice sounding more like young Kratos (TC Carson) than old Kratos (Christopher Judge)
yeah i hear the same
Damn, now I gotta watch the whole movie before seeing your reaction! 😭😭BRB!
Update: this took me back to watching Transformers as a little kid! Well done for sure! From what I've studied in med school, Megatron is the prime definition of someone with Borderline Personality Disorder.
P.S. How are you emotionally since Dealthy Hallows pt. 2?
Let us know when you watched it!
@@terogates1 I did! Definitely one of the best up there with Transformers 1-3! Megatron got too power hungry, but I loved it!
I never thought of the real life psychology of Megatron's condition, but I now want to have a therapist do an analysis on the psychology of Megatron. 🤔
@@seraphi3387 Yeah, I'm in med school and I studied the personalities in depth, and he definitely had BPD
BEST TRANSFORMERS MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!! THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS MOVIE!!!!!!!! I SAW THIS MOVIE TWICE IN THEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all he did take the same cog that belonged to *The Fallen* 👀
But also i think the whole bit of: "Their individuality... Enhanced... By these."
Had he never gotten a cog. He wouldn't have been blinded by strength and rage.
It amplified what was dormant.
Kinda wonder if he had his T-cog all his life, would he have let the power get to his helm as much? 🤔
Just found your content and I love it. Keep up the good work brother man!!!
38:13 the core having a virus is actually a good idea and makes sense for megatron switching up [ik he switched up because sentinel prime (his idol maybe? Or he just trusted him so badly) turns out to be a bad guy but the core being a virus is a good support for his switch up in my opinion, maybe like the prime that previously used that cog could hide his virus and have been sabotaging the other primes in secret] and physical change
That would make an interesting dynamic in the War. The Madmech was infected by corrupted programming and his old friend is trying snap him out of the corrupted programming. But the more time he is infected the deeper and intensity of the corruption slowly becomes more irrepairable. 😢
I believe D-16 got Onyx Prime's cog which could have just fueled his rage even more.
Optimus is the Latin word for Great and many other more
Orion Pax/Optimus Prime is voiced by Chris Hemsworth(Whom you probably know as Thor from the MCU and Warlord/ Dr. Dementus from "Furiosa"),D-16/Megatron is voiced by Bryan Tyree Henry(Who was Detective Mike Norris in the "Child`s Play" 2019 Reboot and the hospital desk dude in "Joker" Arthur Fleck grabbed his mom`s psych file out of the hands of), Sentinel Prime is voiced by Jon Hamm from "Mad Men", Elita 1 is voiced by Scarlett Johansson and Bumblebee/B-127 is voiced by Michael Keegan Key of "Key and Peele", "Epic Rap Battles of History" and "The Predator" fame or infamy however you look at it. Incidentally, Peter Cullen, the OG Optimus Prime, provided creature effects for the first Predator Film. Those clicking noises, The Predator mimicking the perverted marine Billy`s evil laugh and Dutch`s "You`re one ugly motherfucker"? That was all Peter Cullen!
D16 went from taking down diesels to becoming a diesel himself
love your reactions. One of the best out there.
Cool detail that while his cogless, the helmet resambles the original commercial, but once getting megatronus' cog becomes more official.
Also his fusion canon was very generation One!
"Hasbro owns Transformers, since when?" Since 1984. It was originally a toyline from Japanese American businessman Takara Tokoyama who made a deal with Hasbro in the 1980s.
14:48 one thing people need to remember with some of the jokes that they’re throwing things in for the kids to bring them in to watch it. 21:35 He’s a prime a son of Primus so their powers would be stronger than all other transformers. This shows why Optimus and Megatron are so strong and why Bee is so strong even though he’s small because they received their cogs from the original primes. 23:54 either one of the first or deemed fit to hold the Matrix of Leadership.
from what i can gather, in this continuity "prime" is a title that was originally bestowed on the original 13, but i feel is likely to be passed down as kinda like if there were 13 popes. usually its a title that started as something "holy" and eventually became a military title
i keep yapping, my bad, but yea i really love how their relationship felt very real and it's genuinely sad seeing their fallout like this. Like we all know how it's going to end up, but they wrote their relationship so well, I desperately didn't want them to become enemies at the end.
HELL YEAH!!! You're the first reactor I've seen to actually understand why Orion was trying to stop D-16 from killing Sentinel! The specific use of action and violence in the movie is so good; up until D-16 executed Sentinel, all the fighting done was in self-defense or in the process of rescuing hostages. With Sentinel, it was a completely different circumstance.
D-16's problem was that he failed to see the forest from the trees. Yes, he had every right to feel betrayed by Sentinel Prime, and Sentinel's actions, after they found out, only further give legitimacy to his reasons for being mad. However, he failed to see how his actions would hurt others, and how the citizens of Iocon didn't deserve to nearly be killed because they were lied to as well. Yet, D-16 was only thinking about himself, and acted like he was the only one who got betrayed in all of this when that's not true. Orion Pax was betrayed by Sentinel as well, but Orion took it more as obligation to let others know about it, so they can rise up against Sentinel's tyranny. D-16 took it more personally like he was the only one that got affected, and I think that's made him snap.
KP gets it, man. He understood the assignment.
"Oh, Hasbro owns transformers? Since when?"
X,D Oh, you sweet summer child.
Alpha Trion gave D-16 his cog when the rage in him really started to build up, he was given power at the wrong time
13:38 That's so sad. Look at how happy Megatron is. Poor dude thought Sentinel was a real hero.
You are really good at picking up voices
Nice reaction, Starscream in Transformers Armada is a darn beast. A warrior. Not cowardly like in other shows.
I don't think the cog had anything to do with Megatron's descent into darkness. I think it was always there. He believed in the system wholeheartedly, and the entire thing was shown to be a lie.
OMG.......love your pfp thats Aran Ojiro haikyuu right?
Also loved this vid and have a great day or night😃
42:37 -> was perfection 👌😂
I love your commentary you really get Orion and D-16 it's great
20:22 He just starts eating wtf 🤣
Primes have superpowers related to their own name in latin...
Fun fact 1: the powers Alpha Tyrion uses are the result of being a Prime. All 13 Primes were granted powers by Primus.
Fun Fact 2: in many stories, Cybertron suffers under a strict caste system. Meaning if you were born a miner , you were not allowed to be anything else and had “ miner only” places on the planet to visit. Same for soldiers, librarian and any other job was isolated based on their function. This is why D16 and Orion Pax are named so different. Miners are the lowest on the social ladder. Orion Pax is a librarian in many Transformers stories and so was valuable to society.
Fun fact 3: Qintessons are made by Unicron the sworn enemy of Primus.
Fun fact 4: every name on the racing leader board is an actual Transformers character from different stories.
Fun fact 5: there is NO political correctness here. The word most used to describe Transformers is Cybertronian. Autobots and Decepticons are the factions in the civil war.
Arise optimus prime
This voice make me ghoshbump 🥶
But his(optimus Prime's) entry is perfect badass damnn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🥵🥵🥶
15:10 A A Tron! D-Nice! Where D-nice at? Mkay, yall tryina be cute now, watch it A A Ron!
Love transformers and this movie especially. I think this is THE best transformers movie but if I would to rank em, I can’t put it over the 2007 film. I fw w u and your reaction. Subscribed
Transformers was originally a japanese toyline that didn't go very well, was about to be put down, Hasbro bought it, renamed it transformers and had marvel writers make backstories and proper names and stuff for the characters in the 80s
9:03 Naw I was dead 😂
At 12:00 now. Yeah fhis is my thing. All my comments help the channel trolls, calm down lol. Anyways, you hit on one of my favorite parts of the movie. The diversity "God that word is so tainted now its hard to say" of their transformations. Everything before it, other than maybe comics to a small extent, have used the 2md half of these being's existance, as sort of a way to get fron point a, to b, like its their car or some shit. If you can morph your hody at will, youd do that shit all the time right? Got hand stuck in some bars ir somethkng? Transform it and free. Someone holding you fron behind? Cool, a quick flup, 🎉and now im running you over, or dropping you from a few hundred feet up. LOVE IT!
You have to factor what d16 loss aswell and his problems with Optimus and how he feels Optimus treats him and his view of Optimus.
this is new easy version origin of transformers... give idea the golden age of cybertron... hope they can made transformers two even they say is a flop.
Christopher Judge is Megatron would...just make me cry tears of joy
30:48 “Starscream, in what universe are you not a pussy that just runs away?”
Shattered Glass Starscream: 🤨
Armada Starscream: 🤨
Bayverse Starscream: 🤨
Surprisingly brilliant movie!
"Hasbro own transformers, since when"? Man, like from the beginning! All because some joes.
I have seen so many videos with a title like this all proving that whoever was in charge of marketing should be fired.
Racist Robots😭😭😭😭 forgot who said that line
movie time 🍿💙
Has ro has owned transformers since they imported them from Japan in 82 or 83...the cartoon started in 84 and the first movie happened in 86...this movie is a mix of lor from all the shows.
Also, to be a Prime you have to be chosen by Primus.
30:48 Armada I suppose
Why is your beanie 16 bit?
I'm at 9:30. If i were you, I'd he more impressed eith the guy who you cant figure out his idemtity. THAT to me is good voice acting, but yeah Thor brought the thunder too fo sho.
Armada Starscream is a warrior.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ARISEEEEE.... OPTIMUS PRIME🥵🥵🥵
I hate whoever marketed this movie. Everyone who watched this enjoyed it. Now their not gonna make transformer movies anymore.
You talk like you never watched the Transformers series cartoons. I grew up Saturday Mornings watching them. Megatron is Evil not the chrag in
His chest it’s all him, he just needed a reason and Betrayal was it.
