Thats cause despite people dunking on Michael Bay. He followed the rule of cool for the transformers movies. Rule of cool means close ups of giant robots and them fighting. So they gotta be detailed and awesome looking. They probably invented a ton of new techniques during the first movie.
I mean, when you pause the video the CGI hardly looks great, but they did have cool ideas. Plenty of far better CGI nowadays. Take off the rose-tinted glasses.
I started liking the plot after hearing about the Optimus villain theory, so I had to rewatch them The plots around the humans are still horrible tho, like the named human characters could all be cut out, suddenly the movies are much better all around lol
Fun Fact: when making devastator, due to how technology wasn’t that advanced, the computers were fried and got burned out by all the memory he contained
but even with those struggles, they still pulled it off QUITE WELL and with every attention to detail, it looks MUCH BETTER than most of the recent films' cgi today
Yeah. I remember that on the bonus disc included with the movie. They did it on purpose when they sent a guy containing the files on him. You could LITERALLY see the smoke from how much of an overload Devastator made.
Attending a preview of the film, Steven Spielberg is reported to have said upon seeing Devastator, "That is fuсking awesome!" Michael Bay was proud of the fact that he could make the normally well-mannered Spielberg swear
For those curious, it took roughly 72 hours PER FRAME to render the combining shot for the pieces of devastator. With over 80,000 parts, it was the most complicated CGI creature of it's time
But then keep in mind the lack of budget in modern Transformers movies, especially compared to the older ones. He’d be able to be used more, but I doubt he would
transformers' cgi has always been the best. even if these transformers films were a decade old, graphics wise it looks better than most recent hollywood films
@@Crimsxn_K1ra No, that is not the reason. The reason is people outsource work to way too many people at a time, and more often than not the same people don't work on the movie from start to finish. Plus it's very rushed.
Something the transformers movies got so right was the speed at which big things move. I see movies and games made today that still can’t get it right. Something huge has to move slower and smoother to sell its mass, otherwise it feels fake.
Director - Extra detailing to balls. Animator - but sir it will increase the already too large file size even more. Director - ok then even more extra detailing in the BALLS
Fun fact: When Devastator is sucking everything up, if you look closely, there is a newspaper that gets stuck on the pipe for a split second. The newspaper reads "One-eye robot spotted" with a picture of G1 Shockwave.

Sustained high temps might cause shortened lifespan of the components, but not immediate death. Computers catching destroying themselves/catching fire/exploding or whatever is just a rumor started by the lead animator of the movie. If he wasn't misled himself, my guess is he lied to help the average person understand the difficulty of creating Devastator.
It is 100% hyperbole designed to make people, that don’t understand how computers work, gawk. The very worst thing that’s gonna happen is that the software would crash when it runs out of available memory. I don’t doubt that they had to do some clever compositing in post to get the full thing together but there is no shot that computers were fried. We’re talking about the late oughts. Not the mid nineties with Windows 95.
Absolute peak cinema was Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Transformers, and Spider-Man. Hands down, no debate, full stop. I was absolutely astonished as a kid watching these in theaters. What an insane experience.
Watch Kidou Senshi Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway (engl.: Gundam Hathaway) then. Some parts are a bit boring, but it's definitely doing the whole Big Robots thing way better than Transformers ever could.
Maybe it would help immensely if you would find it in your robot heart to protagonise these chromium-plated, desolate, mach 7 flying, cadillac dealin, cocaine yieldin, not top rope but off top of my ceiling azz NUUUUUUUUUUUUTZZZ. ROTFLMAO
This pathetic excuse of a Devastator is an abomination. This is the sort of crap that makes me glad I didn't bother to watch any of these movies after the first one. Animated Transformers movie is still the best Transformers movie.
While I somewhat agree with Scar, I dont like this iteration of devastator, I would have LOVED to see him become an actual humanoid bot. Seeing the legs ready up, and the different peices come together would've been great. It also would've been cool if they'd paid homage to the OG movie by playing instruments of destruction when he formed.
You know, shit like this really raises my respect for the Transformers toy manufacturers. Not only did they have to replicate these INCREDIBLY complex designs, but also had to figure out how to make them transform into their vehicles. AND how to connect them all together to make Devastator. Sounds like a massive headache.
I love how it produces suction powerful enough to rip apart mobile homes and lift a several thousand pound van with ease, but the people hiding right behind it can just walk away like its only a mild wind.
People give Michael Bay sh!t for his handling of the transformers franchise but those people don't know that he is the only reason I give a sh!t about the transformers franchise in the first place.
Explosion and really fantastic transformation sequence Each transformers are hard to differentiate but oh boy, it was so badass and the coolest thing ever
0:40 I always liked this detail of the longhaul's headlights looking directly at simmons and leo as if they were his eyes, and it's kind of creepy too.
Clearly, you haven't fought Vordt from Dark Souls 3. Jokes aside, his logic *does* have merit. If you're fighting something that sucks up whatever it's looking at, the best place to be is in an area it can't easily look at. Granted, you still run the risk of getting crushed, but I'd wager that it's easier to dodge than it is to cling onto a pole for dear life.
I love how you can see all the components as well, I remember Bonecrusher in the first film, when the front gearbox and rear differential were on show. Think film companies got lazy and just thought about profit.
Fun fact: this sequence and the Forest Fight were filmed and rendered in IMAX, with small bits of additional footage and a taller aspect ratio. The only way to see this nowadays is the Big Screen Edition of the Blu-Ray and DVD.
Animating a robot, and having that complex robot turn into a car is already one thing, having MULTIPLE robots with great detail being able to interlock together, forming one giant robot? I don't think that can be beat
@thepolarbear-z6x Are you being serious? You can't possibly be this mentally incompetent... you say they aren't allowed to, and yet someone with no clearance calls it in, and in every other movie where the military is involved 100% of the time, they don't use it. This is something they should have used during the Chicago invasion, and they just didn't. For no explainable reason. Don't even TRY to defend it.
I'll always love how minimal and cold the dialogues between Decepticons were in the first movies, like when Megatron screams "DEVASTATOR" and thats it, they both know what to do, no time wasted in further explanations. Or the scene where Starscream and Megatron met for the first time in thousend years at the dam in the first movie, and it was like 4, 5 lines of dialogue? Alien, sharp, cold, straight to the point phrases. You can actually feel that those creatures are not from this planet just hearing the way they act. That was peak cinema for me .
It's indeed an in lore thing that decepticons are way more factual and emotionless in their communication, hence why we also see them use computer language from time to time. Usually transformers find this distantiated and cold, so they have developed more friendly languages like humans use.
This actually made me realize how little noise there is, despite the insane amount of grinding metal and rock, that'd probably drown out most of the other sounds if we *could* hear it
Yeah, what a natural flowing and well executed censor, where the character just stops talking mid-sentence and waits half a second for the cue to happen, even though it's all CGI and could be easily recut and done properly.
2:21 i love this bit so much. the powering down sound and how the segments of devastator's head smoothly retract and fit together, the grinders from his throat forming his neck, his face and jaw reassembling, it's just super cool and makes him seem so much more real. the speed and ease that devastator transforms back with implies that he's used to doing it, which kinda makes you wonder how much shit he's eaten and demolished before. also the fact that he KNOWS he's eaten mudflap because he powers down immediately afterward. like he feels everything he shreds and can tell what's alive and what isn't. the sparking of metal in his mouth and the cloud of dust behind him as he sucks up and ejects all the sand is a nice touch too, really makes you feel the scale of him. like i know i'm ranting but GOD i haven't seen these movies in years and i forgot how good they look. like the thought they put into every part of the designs. devastator's like a weird mix of a basking shark and a vacuum with teeth and it's both hilarious and freaky lmao
The color grading on this is incredible. A little undersaturated for the highlights, but I think that actually adds some realism. A lot better than my CGI.
And now remember - this movie came out in 2009! There are LOTS of movies getting released by today which don‘t even have as close as good CGI as this one had. Obviously this movie and Transformers in general was it‘s whole own league but after about 15 years you‘d expect it to be at least somewhat easier to make movies look incredibly good.
Someone needs to make a meme how its impractical for transformers to take so damn long to transform just to look cool. Like make an exxagerated video of a transformer transforming and when done the good guys are long gone and its like a day later
Power Rangers apparently did this. Saw a scene from one of their shows where 12 opponents had the characters cornered. Spent 2 minutes of summersaulting, kicks, and punches before they were done getting outfitted. The bad guys were gone, they didn’t stick around like the others do. (Plus I think the sun had set in the process)

As they should for a Transformer called Devastator

Let's be honest, NO ONE ever went to see the Bayverse movies for the plot, only for the epic transforming and fight scenes

Computers catching destroying themselves/catching fire/exploding or whatever is just a rumor started by the lead animator of the movie. If he wasn't misled himself, my guess is he lied to help the average person understand the difficulty of creating Devastator.
It is 100% hyperbole designed to make people, that don’t understand how computers work, gawk. The very worst thing that’s gonna happen is that the software would crash when it runs out of available memory. I don’t doubt that they had to do some clever compositing in post to get the full thing together but there is no shot that computers were fried. We’re talking about the late oughts. Not the mid nineties with Windows 95.

Absolute peak cinema was Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Transformers, and Spider-Man. Hands down, no debate, full stop. I was absolutely astonished as a kid watching these in theaters. What an insane experience.
Remember The Computers During Production Crashed & Frozed Many Times Back In Days 😧🤯💥

Also melted a few computers so each limb had to be rendered separately and then all spliced together at the end

It’s incredible how much effort they put into the script of a movie that could’ve been saved by CGI alone..
The one thing i hate about the transformer movie series is that they keep changing the storyline and switching protagonists
Maybe it would help immensely if you would find it in your robot heart to protagonise these chromium-plated, desolate, mach 7 flying, cadillac dealin, cocaine yieldin, not top rope but off top of my ceiling azz NUUUUUUUUUUUUTZZZ. ROTFLMAO
Did they have much of a choice? They kept casting people who are notoriously hard to work with...

I won't ever forgive them for what they did to Devastator, but what they did, they did it beautifully
Wonder how badass it would’ve been if they made a humanoid designed one, like G1. That would’ve had Tidalwave level aura in live action.
This pathetic excuse of a Devastator is an abomination. This is the sort of crap that makes me glad I didn't bother to watch any of these movies after the first one. Animated Transformers movie is still the best Transformers movie.
@@SCAR16L nuh uh 😎
While I somewhat agree with Scar, I dont like this iteration of devastator, I would have LOVED to see him become an actual humanoid bot. Seeing the legs ready up, and the different peices come together would've been great. It also would've been cool if they'd paid homage to the OG movie by playing instruments of destruction when he formed.
@@SCAR16Lcope, its a good design, go cope harder
sound design in the first 3 TF films was S tier. So damn good
You know, shit like this really raises my respect for the Transformers toy manufacturers. Not only did they have to replicate these INCREDIBLY complex designs, but also had to figure out how to make them transform into their vehicles. AND how to connect them all together to make Devastator. Sounds like a massive headache.
If you think that's impressive, check out the Lego Devastator by aranobilis98
The devastator toy didn't transform and was vehicles only. It was the microscale version only that transformed.

Tornadoes have been known to behave like this too, to some extent.

The “kill the monster from the inside” trope is a lot more satisfying when it’s done by a minor character who could very easily die.

it was gonna suck you up again if you dont go under it
Clearly, you haven't fought Vordt from Dark Souls 3.
Jokes aside, his logic *does* have merit. If you're fighting something that sucks up whatever it's looking at, the best place to be is in an area it can't easily look at. Granted, you still run the risk of getting crushed, but I'd wager that it's easier to dodge than it is to cling onto a pole for dear life.

Fun fact: this sequence and the Forest Fight were filmed and rendered in IMAX, with small bits of additional footage and a taller aspect ratio. The only way to see this nowadays is the Big Screen Edition of the Blu-Ray and DVD.
Animating a robot, and having that complex robot turn into a car is already one thing, having MULTIPLE robots with great detail being able to interlock together, forming one giant robot? I don't think that can be beat
And then they never use the railgun ever again, despite the fact it one shot the largest decepticon they've ever seen
That's what happens when there's no writer involved in the production team
My shitty headcanon is that the USS Kidd is secretly an Autobot that's just really lazy and doesn't wanna engage in fights

@thepolarbear-z6x Are you being serious? You can't possibly be this mentally incompetent... you say they aren't allowed to, and yet someone with no clearance calls it in, and in every other movie where the military is involved 100% of the time, they don't use it. This is something they should have used during the Chicago invasion, and they just didn't. For no explainable reason. Don't even TRY to defend it.
Not gonna lie. This rendition of Devastater is actually awesome. The way they combine to one another makes this scene feel epic.
Remember watching that at the imax cinema the sound effects gave you goosebumps
I'll always love how minimal and cold the dialogues between Decepticons were in the first movies, like when Megatron screams "DEVASTATOR" and thats it, they both know what to do, no time wasted in further explanations. Or the scene where Starscream and Megatron met for the first time in thousend years at the dam in the first movie, and it was like 4, 5 lines of dialogue? Alien, sharp, cold, straight to the point phrases. You can actually feel that those creatures are not from this planet just hearing the way they act. That was peak cinema for me .
It's indeed an in lore thing that decepticons are way more factual and emotionless in their communication, hence why we also see them use computer language from time to time. Usually transformers find this distantiated and cold, so they have developed more friendly languages like humans use.
Devastator: I got it he means read the email

I thought I heard smt 😭
This movie was what got me into film sound and sound design and Foley
3:19 This sounded just like SpongeBob is how I learned Tom Kenny voiced Skids (and Wheelie)
2:21 i love this bit so much. the powering down sound and how the segments of devastator's head smoothly retract and fit together, the grinders from his throat forming his neck, his face and jaw reassembling, it's just super cool and makes him seem so much more real. the speed and ease that devastator transforms back with implies that he's used to doing it, which kinda makes you wonder how much shit he's eaten and demolished before.
also the fact that he KNOWS he's eaten mudflap because he powers down immediately afterward. like he feels everything he shreds and can tell what's alive and what isn't. the sparking of metal in his mouth and the cloud of dust behind him as he sucks up and ejects all the sand is a nice touch too, really makes you feel the scale of him.
like i know i'm ranting but GOD i haven't seen these movies in years and i forgot how good they look. like the thought they put into every part of the designs. devastator's like a weird mix of a basking shark and a vacuum with teeth and it's both hilarious and freaky lmao
I saw a theory that Devastator stopped after eating mudflap because he wasn't built to grind up Transformium and was trying spit him out
@@zeniththecreator7671 oh true, he does start hacking up sand right after so that makes sense lol

And now remember - this movie came out in 2009!
There are LOTS of movies getting released by today which don‘t even have as close as good CGI as this one had.
Obviously this movie and Transformers in general was it‘s whole own league but after about 15 years you‘d expect it to be at least somewhat easier to make movies look incredibly good.
5:26 the transformer had literal steel of balls 😭
Someone needs to make a meme how its impractical for transformers to take so damn long to transform just to look cool. Like make an exxagerated video of a transformer transforming and when done the good guys are long gone and its like a day later
They probably already did that in a Robot Chicken episode.
Power Rangers apparently did this. Saw a scene from one of their shows where 12 opponents had the characters cornered. Spent 2 minutes of summersaulting, kicks, and punches before they were done getting outfitted. The bad guys were gone, they didn’t stick around like the others do. (Plus I think the sun had set in the process)
