51:00 the fact that prime made the same wish to unicron in rotb as well and the fact that this was released before rotb is the best coincidence that ever occurred
"It is yours by right, brother." after being a puppet for so many years, Even when he had what essentially started it all in his hand, he gave it back to Prime. The way Megatron's Character arc finally came full circle, and it's execution, was not just beautifully poetic, it was nothing short of a Masterpiece
10:19 - 11:28 i legitimately cried, just hearing bee’s sadness, anger and desperation just *broke* me, and then optimus’ scream was just- *mwa* chef’s kiss.
With the cancellation of the sixth Bayverse installment, I’ve seen so many fans come up with different interpretations of how they would have liked to have seen it all end. Some have come up with interesting results to achieve it, and I think this film ranks up their as one of the best I’ve personally seen. I loved every little aspect, including the intertwining of the backstories, almost every character having a moment to stand out (even the ones that didn’t get much to do, but that’s pretty authentic), the action, the use of the music, and the story feeling like it’s come to a proper end in a way that a bunch of professionals couldn’t do. You continue to amaze me with every project, but even for this channel, this was a daring project to tackle, but you pulled it off. Absolutely loved this one TFI! Til all are one!
Words cannot begin to describe how happy this makes me. Not only does it legitimize Movie Prime amongst the legacy of the character, but it's a damn good piece of cinematography and art. I can tell this is a labor of love, and I'm glad it exists.
This was absolutely beautiful. I felt all of the emotion and all the pain Prime and Bee showed and the attenpts of redemption Megatron showed down to my very core. The Last Knight confirmed our suspicions regarding Sam's fate prior to Age of Extinction, but it still hurt when it hit Bee. Knowing very well that Bee wanted to stay, but jepordized his life and Carly's if he did. He wanted so bad to see him again or even just call him, but Cemetery Wind, Lockdown, and the TRF made that virtually impossible. He never got to say goodbye to him. The pain that comes from losing someone who was like family to you really hurts. It stings bad and it takes a long time to heal. Even then, the scar will always be there. As mentioned in "One More Light" by Linkin Park, "Just cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there." Then there's Prime's struggling to keep himself together. He became more violent throughout the movies for a reason, and that being all the pain from comstant betrayal and failure throughout the war. I feel like that change happened upon being revived in Revenge of the Fallen. He was mad about Megatron's revival, but he still only fought with the intent of subdueing Megatron, Starscream, and Grindor. Then the moment he stops pulling his punches, a symbolism of him opening his eyes to the realization Megatron and the Decepticons would never mend their ways, he wipes the floor with all three of them. And on his deathbed, imagine the sense of failure he felt believing he had handed Sam to them and Earth its doom. When he is revived, he isn't holding back at all going forward and the belief that peace through force began growing throughout the films. Top that on top of lies and betrayals he's been the victim of. The most notable of these being Megatron, his idol in Sentinel, and finally us humans through both the secrets kept about the truth behind the Space Race, the alliance with Lockdown that got every Autobot who fought for Earth time after time killed, and the formation of Cementary Wind and the TRF to. Finally, there's the inate burden one must take as the leader of their people. Prime fought day after day all while willingly leaving his home planet a lifeless husk so Earth would live on. Even after learning that Unicron resided in Earth's core, he put Earth after Cybertron. All this time, he put others before himself and made many sacrifices, so it's extremely impressive he held out for so long without completely losing himself. Then to still be able to forgive humanity and then Megatron of all people after everything makes Prime more sane and optimistic than most people. All this time, there was more to Prime's brutality than meets the eye. Finally, I love your take on Megatron's redemption. I love of the impact that both IDW and Prime have left on others and how it has influenced many incarcerations of the franchise, both official and fan work, when writing out their take on Megatron. Prime's words at the end of Predacon's Rising are very much true. Everyone posseses the capacity for change. Everyone has different walks of life with their own set of struggles, but change is possible if you try. To change for the better is a choice like all things you do, but it's a choice only you can make. No one can make that choice for you. People can help steer you the that change, but ultimately it's up to you whether or not you will choose to accept that guidance. It all boils down to the concept of freedom. Choice is a concept born from freedom, and freedom is the right of all sentient beings. This finale was a journey of reflection, redemption, and forgiveness. Reflection of who our main cast used to be and of the events that led to who they are now. Redemption for the wrongs that they had made throughout the war. And forgiveness towards others despite how much they hurt each other. Both visually and symbolically, this was an absolute masterpiece. You did such an amazing job. I havent felt this moved and inspired in a while. Keep it up. You're doing such an amazing job. Until we meet again, old friend. Till all are one!
An absolute honor to be in one of the legendary TFI creations' stop motions!!! Hope everyone enjoyed one of the many film attempts the TF community is making so that the Bayverse can make sense! Now if you don’t mind me, I need to return to David’s basement so I can continue working for the other Bay finale attempt
This movie truly captures the story arc of the Bayverse. We see Optimus and Megatron being brothers once again, Mentioning of previous movies like Seven Primes, Chicago, The pillars, The knights and i mean everything and even capturing the Autobots potrayal in the original movies, this is truly the finest hour I always waited for - the ultimate conclusion of the Bayverse. I loved how you put a huge effort in it, it is really touching. This is both emotional and amazing. I really love how you came up this far Sam. Keep up the good work and stay determined to do great projects that you have in the future. Once again, thank you for making this amazing movie.
My childhood can finally rest in peace because of this film a true testimony to the love everyone has to these movies and toys that got us into them in the first place
Man i started shedding tears on 56:03 when Prime said "Farewell Brother" and Megatron said "Farewell Brother" to Optimus an flys away and it would of been perfect to see Megatron's eyes turn blue when he said his farewells to Optimus
33:45 made me audibly go "HA" because of the mess of the Bay-continuity. Honestly though Sam your story telling is superb! They way you took references from the Aligned Continuity is genius. I love the reconciliation between Megatron and Optimus. Very well done my friend! Also love how you kept the back story in cannon with your origins series! Very creative! Cannot express my admiration enough!
I think I can safely say that this is a masterpiece, absolutely beautiful storytelling. You actually made the Bayverse timeline and lore somehow make sense! Hot rod is undoubtedly the best character in the film. God I love this channel such amazing stories like this must be cherished.
I watched your “How Transformers saved my life” video and all I have to say is this. Hang on to your dreams, Sam. The Future is built on dreams. Hang on.
I love how Bee basically bullied Megatron over how many times he's died and changed his name, and what even us fans thought of him being every antagonists lap dog. Also i feel the "megatron-galvatron-megatron" thing can also apply to the Megatron in the Armada/Energon/Cybertron series.
The writing is amazing. You took the broken timeline of the Bay movies with its half-developed character moments and loose qoutes, gave them such tremendous depth. All the while adding references and plot points from other shows. Bravo, just bravo.
Omg. Definitely a way to conclude the Bayverse. The writing, the voice acting, even the action sequences… all are a true masterpiece. My hat goes to you and the rest of the team. Much love and respect. ❤️❤️
I love the inclusion of dialogue from some of the other movies and shows, it felt so natural, as if it hadn’t been used in other media before. Great production as always, and amazing voice work, per usual. This is now canon in my mind now
24:20 Megs: “i’d really wish you’d change” Bee: “look who’s talking Megatron, Galvatron, Megatron!” Ok that part cracked me up, I just wasn’t expecting it, but as snarky as it sounds Bee is right.
This is amazing I love every aspect about tackling Sams disappearance Optimus for why he was the way he was in the movies and giving him character development making him and megatron making up and not just fight I loved that it was amazing and I liked how megatron also was the one to take down unicron showing how he has changed and all the callbacks you made to the other films a really nice touch. I’m going to watch all the movies now. Good day keep up the good work.
I've no problem with human characters as long as they're not stupid failed attempts of comic relief guys, or top model chicks appearing only to look sexy to the audience and/or to be forced love interest for the main character, all of that with no significance to the main story.
How dare you bring the chaotic nonsensical Bayverse to a satisfying and coherent conclusion. You wonderful bastard. Thanks for having me on as Bulldog... tally-ho!
I love how much you remind the viewers of the important characters and events of the past. It’s one thing the actual movies themselves rarely ever did which made continuity feel like a missing aspect. Characters like Sam, The Fallen, Sentinel and Lockdown have all had huge impacts on our main cast of Autobots Imo Sentinel Prime and his betrayal of the Autobots was the tipping point for Optimus’ mental health, he would never be the same after that. And you captured that perfectly
It really is the most fitting end to the franchise. The fact that every mistake and confusion from past films is explained is really showing how much work went into this project. Amazing job! 👏
So much action heart and character development in one hour not even michael bay couldn't accomplish and megatron and prime becoming brothers again with megatron leaving in the end this such a wonderful hour of transformers goodness and megatron cracking a joke surprised me as much as it did optimus
Honestly, this fanfilm was perfect. I've had an odd relationship with the live action films, but once again you found a way to make me appreciate the story that was told in those movies. Though Rise of the Beasts will mark the series as Rebooted, this film is as good of an ending as I need. The Last Knight made me question if I was a Transformers fan, but the Bumblebee Movie and this film gave me closure, and it makes me happy to still be a fan of this franchise.
The way you seamlessly piece together all the bay movies is insane. You take a mess of ideas and are able to make it into a pretty damn good narrative. Big props to you for this, this is art!
Ok I know I’m not trying to be that way, but sincerely better-written than the entire Bayverse franchise thus far. I LOVE how y’all reconciled the conflicting stories. It was such an elegant solution. Absolutely gorgeous and well-done.❤❤❤
If ever there was an Oscar award for Best TH-cam Movie you would win in my book TFI. You take amazing TFormers stories and make them into genuine works of art 😊 I cried, laughed and cheered during this and it definitely brings the best possible closure to the Bayverse
This was an absolute pleasure and honor to be a part of, to be in one of your videos Sam is still crazy to me. And for it to be the film giving the Bayverse an ending and fixing so much of what got screwed up is... incredible. Thank you for allowing me to be a a part of this project that isn't just special to others, but to me as well. Thank you ♥
50:55, wtf, this came out before anyone saw rise of the beasts, an exchange between Optimus & Unicron happened nearly word for word. THATS A BIG COINCIDENCE!
It’s no coincidence. A fellow TFI member saw the early screenings and told me that exchange. He then said it’s likely that line was going to be cut, so we used it. I guess it wasn’t cut
@@TFICreations nope, it was definitely not cut. Still, love the fan film, especially everything with Megatron. Although if i May give you some feedback. It did feel a little too small of scale, after all I think this is meant to be the grand finale. But, I still like that it felt more personal, it felt like a drama movie with action in it rather than an action movie with drama in it, and I loved that, great job. 👍
@@FelixMorales-x2g And more pointless human scenes, inaproppriate shots, barely any transformer dialogue, fast paced trippy action scenes and few crappy one liners.
This was an unexpected surprise to see in my recommended on my last day of school! This was an absolute treat and the fact that it is feature length only adds to the joy. Thank you for ending off the bayverse with a bang!
No words. This is a masterpiece, cinematography is incredible, soundtrack is breathtaking, and damn impressive visuals. Amazing job man! My new head cannon right here.
the megatron depiction was a good change to the one we know and love in the bayverse because it showed him to have emotions and feelingsn and Blue Rat did the perfect voice for the best leader of the decepticons
I loved the Bayverse and was disappointed it didn’t get the closure it did, but you managed to create a beautiful ending to it. This was a great video.
This is beautiful, the cinematography is amazing and everything about it is just such a breath of relief from tlk. This feels more than a fan project, this is a love letter to us bayverse fans and sams death made me tear up a bit. all the characters struggles are shown clearly and the action is amazing! Thank you TFI
Un chef-d'oeuvre du cinema! Once again, another fantastic release is gifted to us, this time adding some true meat to the ending areas of the Bay films. Being a part of this was a true pleasure, and I'm honored to have worked alongside every incredible individual who gave their all in this piece. Our finest hour? One of many, still yet to come.
Can I say something? This had become my favourite TFI Film, with Re-Generation One, Last Bot Standing, and now this? My new favourite Genre of Transformers stories are Endings, Finales to a continuity that provides closure, and this did just that, for a continuity I have such shaky and mixed feelings on, you made me Understand and finally come to peace with versions of the characters like Optimus, and fall in love with others like Bumblebee and Megatron, also, hot damn, I think it’s pretty much confirmed now that Megaton Redemption or Attonement stories are GOATED, seriously, the Megatron scene in the final battle had be punching my bed and legitimately yelling at 10 at night. This film is genuinely a work of art in my eyes, it made me feel so many emotions and by the end, I felt at peace, with such a Beautiful and Intimate story. Thank you to everyone who worked on this Excellent film and hope each and every one of you are proud and taking care of yourselves~ 💚💚💚
That truly was a fine hour. Well done everyone!!! Voice acting was great. Story was great. Script was great. Loved it! Cant wait for your next project to release
Absolutely fantastic piece of art. I have nothing but good things to say about this. I felt like I was a little kid again. Props to all of the TFI crew that came together to make this incredible film happen. If you shown this to someone back in the OG interstellar days they would be speechless. It is amazing how far we have come from back then to now. Thank you for all that you do Sam. ❤
This was phenomenal, the fact you managed to tie the story together from the five Bay movies was incredible, and the writing was nothing short of amazing you should be in the movie or TV industry because this is without a doubt my favourite Michael Bay transformers movie, Bravo (and FYI Hot Rod pointing at Megatron was hilarious)
I legitimately cried Bumblebee denial of Sam's death and blames Optimus for it, and I also cried when Optimus guilt increased when he look the name of Sam and yelled the no... Edit: I want to appreciate the voice of Megatron sounding like both Hugo Weaving and Frank Welker at the same time
Bay formers was one of the things that got me so involved in the franchise, so to see it end is truly magical . Another magical thing is that this short film made me like Bay Formers' hot rod well done TFI team well done 👏
Absolutely spectacular work, Sam. So much emotion, as well as action. Part of the stunning work goes to the figures that were used. Those ThreeZero and Unique Toys figures are incredibly beautiful. Again, loved this so much as it does wrap up the Bay verse quite nicely, and gives us a better ending than the movie that came before it. Can't wait to see what you cook up next, Sam!
33:56 now this explains alot of the plot holes of the live action films, the transformers history and evolution than what TLK film showed. And I like the part where you made primus the homeworld of the knights and quintessons instead of making cybertron being primus himself, a very well done plot. I do hope to see a lore similar to this in a sequel of TLK if paramount still intend on making it🔥💯.
@thomasrigby6166 I also did a theory on the maximals origins before rise of the beasts was released, such as them being descendants of the cybertronians that participated and survived the great battle for the matrix, who were left stranded on earth after the dynasty of primes disappeared 17,000 years ago, then adapt in the new environment, evolved,had the ability to transform into prehistoric animals, and created tribes such as maximals, predacons and others. Which how the beast wars could've happened, if the film was a prequel to the bayverse. But the film ended up saying otherwise, I guess, but it kinda didn't add up, in my opinion 🤷😭.
You really gave quite an amazing conclusion to the storyline that started with the 07. It's basically the type of movie we'd see on the big screen. Thanks for making this!
seeing that Bumblebee's voice actor's name is Samuel is like poetry in a way. this fan-made sequel was satisfying as it seemed to tie loose ends from the previous movies. Thank you so much for this! And i love the fact that *Spoilers* . . . . . . . . . . . . when Unicron offers to give Optimus everything he wants and he replies with "THEN DIE." is exactly how it went down in Transformers: Rise of The Beasts i frickin lost it as i actually loved that one liner.
This was really good and helped make the orginal saga of Transformers make a lot more sense, this whould of been the ending I'd of wanted to see if the films had continued. I think this film is a testament to how the transformers franchise needed new blood and a new direction, with Micheal Bay just not really being able to cut it in the end. The focus on the transformers and Optimus Prime's growing fury that had been progressing was particuly well handled. And the inclusion of past lore was really good.
So happy to finally see an ending for the bay films. Hotrod was my favorite in this. Huge preesh to chrithmuth wolf for voicing him. Amazing as always!
Awesome video 10/10 this is so well done. Excellent writing, good jokes, great callbacks to previous films & use of elements from those films. Transformers 6 never happened but I’m glad we have TFI Creations to fill the gap on this epic series. Bravo to you. The only thing I have to niggle is why was there no mention of Kade? But other than that, everything was absolutely perfect
yet another banger. bravo to the entire team for this incredible conclusion!! i love how you wrote prime, megs, bee, and hot rod. all of the VAs did a great job too. such respect and care. at the same time, i kinda wish the other autobots had more to do, even if it would've just been them sacrificing themselves to save the humans or something like that (drift being completely absent aside from the beginning scene was kind of odd, unless he was in the med bay this whole time). but, then again, this is already an hour long and ya already had a shit-ton of characters to juggle, and that would've bloated the project even further, so i understand. also, in response to that tweet, gigawatt spotted at 41:14
This honestly gave me chills I have been DREADING for a sequel of The last knight ever since quintessa revealed that she was still alive and and that Unicron was now waking up, it made me so sad that they didn't continue bayverse anymore and this fan movie made me ease the want for a sequel. Thank you for making this, my 10 year old heart years ago would've been so happy watching this after watching the last knight later when she found out that bayverse wasn't continuing anymore. The 5 movies will always have a place inside my heart even though I was only born in the year when transformers 2 released, I grew up with the movies for so long I wouldn't let anyone take it away from me, once again thank you for making this (made me cry a little while typing this-)
What a way to end the Bayverse! Watching bumblebee and prime react to Sam's death was truly something magnificent. The cherry on top would've been if the movie ended with the song "Lost" by linkin park but I'm guessing TH-cam would frown on that lol another great movie! Ps 45:00 had me in stitches
Even though this isn’t canon to the Bay-verse, I’m still satisfied with how this played out. I enjoyed every moment of this Fan Film and it felt like a proper ending to the Trilogy. Amazing job as always!!!
It’s definitely canon how would the bayverse end oh wait leave it as a cliffhanger FOREVER even tho the bay movie sucked it’s still has action and heartfelt moments in this so yeah this is canon and it always be canon end of story
I consider it cannon. Since Bumblebee and ROTB are, in essence, a reboot, I'd consider this a proper send-off to the original Bayformers we should've gotten. I also enjoyed it and love every moment of it!
@@ВитяВпря Pros: Got me into transformers Has a lot of great designs I really loved Megatron in the first movie. He might be my favourite Megatron incarnation ever in media Lockdown was badass Sentinel was a decently interesting villain Epic action scenes Legendary music First movie was awesome Sexy cars Cons: Horrible/non existent plot Oversexualizing of women in the movies Lot of characters sucked. Prime in all the movies after the first one was too violent. Megatron became a bitch after the first movie. And we don’t talk about Starscream While I like 90% of the Bay designs, the bad ones are bad. Really bad Each movie had to explain how the transformers were connected to earth, which got boring Wasted villains like The Fallen and Megatron Autobots got shafted in favor of human screen time The twins. They deserve to be mentioned separately A lot more problems, but I don’t want to make this too long
Oh my God this is a good fan film. Scratch that this one of the greatest transformer fan films and films in general on TH-cam!!!!!!! This is too good. I love all the connections to all the previous Bayverse movies. This truly feels like a sequel and a continuation of the Michael Bay movies. If I considered this cannon to the Bayverse (which I’m thinking of right now) then I would say this is the best one to connect all the movies. This really feels like a proper ending to the Bayverse and still feels there could be more to tell when at the same time it feels like the end. And the writing. Ohhhhhhhhhh My Gooooooooood!!!!!!!! This film has such great scenes. I love all the scenes when characters are interacting. The scenes with Optimus and Megatron or Bumblebee and Hot Rod, all their scenes together are so great. There is too much to be said here. TFI you have really outdone yourself!!!! Now I feel the need to point out all the references to the previous films for a video. Or a entire review saying more of what I want to say about this film because it is too good to not be talked about. This is now number 1 on the list of films you’ve made next to Transformers: Interstellar. People or anyone needs to make a review on this! Anyways good job. Outstanding Fan film!!!! Keep up the good work! ❤😊 btw Rest In Peace Sam Witwicky 😢🪦⚰️💀
I’m gonna be honest, i clicked on this video thinking it was going to be another crappy fan movie but i ended up watching the entire thing. I am moved to say the least. The writing, the voices, the setting, the soundtrack, everything was to perfection. The jokes were there, the emotions were evoked, even the action had me on the edge. This entire film is what TLK should’ve been and I bet with a budget and studio that TLK had, this would’ve been the best ending to we could get from a fan movie continuing the bayverse yet. Simply amazing.
I finally get to voice my favorite decepticon and once again be apart of these projects! Hope to come back and reprise my role as lord Megatron!!
bro i couldn't even recognize you as megatron you did an amazing job!
You have a nice vocal range.
Amazing job you did great
It was as if it was actually Frank Welker. I will lose it if you can do G1 or Prime Megatron as amazingly as you did this one!
Amazing job dude❤
51:00 the fact that prime made the same wish to unicron in rotb as well and the fact that this was released before rotb is the best coincidence that ever occurred
Bumblebee reacting to Sam's death was a tear-jerker. The amount of emotion that was put in to his voice in that scene was amazing.
15:11
I agree, cried myself. I could feel bee's pain. This movie was really good. I come back to it every once in a while.
"It is yours by right, brother."
after being a puppet for so many years, Even when he had what essentially started it all in his hand, he gave it back to Prime. The way Megatron's Character arc finally came full circle, and it's execution, was not just beautifully poetic, it was nothing short of a Masterpiece
At this point we're skipping masterpiece and going straight to 3rd party
Ironic too now that he’s been voiced by a puppet :)
10:19 - 11:28 i legitimately cried, just hearing bee’s sadness, anger and desperation just *broke* me, and then optimus’ scream was just- *mwa* chef’s kiss.
They both really loved him, he was family to them.
May Samuel James Witwicky rest in peace. 🙏😔🪦⚰️

May flights of “nonononononono” sing him to his rest… 😢
That Was Before Anthony Hopkins Had The Image Of Sam Witwicky But I Can See That Sam Is Dead, What A Shame😞

Soo sad😔
I love the fact that you showcased the affection Optimus and Bumblebee had for Sam, really beautiful
Yeah man
I couldn't agree more.

In all seriousness this is the TLK sequel I’ve always wanted since 2017.
Awwwwwww
Blud barricade is coming back to life someway.....
The decepticon that survived Chicago gets killed by a bug...A FRICKING UGLY BUG
My Words he is William Afton mf
Megatron referencing Peter Cullen's brother is quite possibly the best thing to have ever been done in a Transformers fan film.
I noticed that as well
That part is a certified tear jerking moment. Especially coming from Megatron's mouth.

If the Bayverse or other Live Action Movies had you as a writer, we would be in a golden age
With the cancellation of the sixth Bayverse installment, I’ve seen so many fans come up with different interpretations of how they would have liked to have seen it all end.

This movie truly captures the story arc of the Bayverse. We see Optimus and Megatron being brothers once again, Mentioning of previous movies like Seven Primes, Chicago, The pillars, The knights and i mean everything and even capturing the Autobots potrayal in the original movies, this is truly the finest hour I always waited for - the ultimate conclusion of the Bayverse. I loved how you put a huge effort in it, it is really touching. This is both emotional and amazing. I really love how you came up this far Sam. Keep up the good work and stay determined to do great projects that you have in the future. Once again, thank you for making this amazing movie.
My childhood can finally rest in peace because of this film a true testimony to the love everyone has to these movies and toys that got us into them in the first place
Man i started shedding tears on 56:03 when Prime said "Farewell Brother" and Megatron said "Farewell Brother" to Optimus an flys away and it would of been perfect to see Megatron's eyes turn blue when he said his farewells to Optimus
or yellow like D-16
Well, thanks for doing the job Bay never could, finally end the series and give it one hell of a finale. Well done Sam, and everyone involved.
Awsome way to take a messy storyline, and connect all the past movies, in a perfect, simple, satisfying ending, this was beautiful
33:45 made me audibly go "HA" because of the mess of the Bay-continuity. Honestly though Sam your story telling is superb! They way you took references from the Aligned Continuity is genius. I love the reconciliation between Megatron and Optimus. Very well done my friend! Also love how you kept the back story in cannon with your origins series! Very creative! Cannot express my admiration enough!
Bro this is what a transformers film should've been, the emotion and dialogue was captured perfectly and you actually care and feel for the characters
I think I can safely say that this is a masterpiece, absolutely beautiful storytelling. You actually made the Bayverse timeline and lore somehow make sense! Hot rod is undoubtedly the best character in the film. God I love this channel such amazing stories like this must be cherished.
I watched your “How Transformers saved my life” video and all I have to say is this.
Hang on to your dreams, Sam. The Future is built on dreams. Hang on.
I love how Bee basically bullied Megatron over how many times he's died and changed his name, and what even us fans thought of him being every antagonists lap dog.
Also i feel the "megatron-galvatron-megatron" thing can also apply to the Megatron in the Armada/Energon/Cybertron series.
That had the voice actor’s of Optimus Primal, and Megatron from Beast Wars
The writing is amazing. You took the broken timeline of the Bay movies with its half-developed character moments and loose qoutes, gave them such tremendous depth. All the while adding references and plot points from other shows. Bravo, just bravo.
Omg. Definitely a way to conclude the Bayverse. The writing, the voice acting, even the action sequences… all are a true masterpiece. My hat goes to you and the rest of the team. Much love and respect. ❤️❤️
I love the inclusion of dialogue from some of the other movies and shows, it felt so natural, as if it hadn’t been used in other media before. Great production as always, and amazing voice work, per usual. This is now canon in my mind now
I'm treating this and rise of unicron as cannon 10/10 best Bay inspired movie
I always thought my childhood deserved a proper ending. And you delivered it. Thank you.
The opening shots that were clearly inspired by the 1986 movie were perfect! I loved how you introduced Unicron in this movie!
24:20 Megs: “i’d really wish you’d change”
Bee: “look who’s talking Megatron, Galvatron, Megatron!”
Ok that part cracked me up, I just wasn’t expecting it, but as snarky as it sounds Bee is right.
This is amazing I love every aspect about tackling Sams disappearance Optimus for why he was the way he was in the movies and giving him character development making him and megatron making up and not just fight I loved that it was amazing and I liked how megatron also was the one to take down unicron showing how he has changed and all the callbacks you made to the other films a really nice touch. I’m going to watch all the movies now. Good day keep up the good work.
This is what we needed! No human characters, no pointless one shots meant for marketing, just actual character writing! 11/10! 👌
I've no problem with human characters as long as they're not stupid failed attempts of comic relief guys, or top model chicks appearing only to look sexy to the audience and/or to be forced love interest for the main character, all of that with no significance to the main story.
I mean welcome to TFI world this is no humans
How dare you bring the chaotic nonsensical Bayverse to a satisfying and coherent conclusion. You wonderful bastard. Thanks for having me on as Bulldog... tally-ho!
“You could have been less aggressive about it”
It’s funny hearing those words come from Hound
I love how much you remind the viewers of the important characters and events of the past. It’s one thing the actual movies themselves rarely ever did which made continuity feel like a missing aspect. Characters like Sam, The Fallen, Sentinel and Lockdown have all had huge impacts on our main cast of Autobots
Imo Sentinel Prime and his betrayal of the Autobots was the tipping point for Optimus’ mental health, he would never be the same after that. And you captured that perfectly
It really is the most fitting end to the franchise. The fact that every mistake and confusion from past films is explained is really showing how much work went into this project. Amazing job! 👏
I rewatched the last knight just to watch this, and honestly, I think this is a very fitting sequel and end to an era
So much action heart and character development in one hour not even michael bay couldn't accomplish and megatron and prime becoming brothers again with megatron leaving in the end this such a wonderful hour of transformers goodness and megatron cracking a joke surprised me as much as it did optimus
Honestly, this fanfilm was perfect. I've had an odd relationship with the live action films, but once again you found a way to make me appreciate the story that was told in those movies. Though Rise of the Beasts will mark the series as Rebooted, this film is as good of an ending as I need. The Last Knight made me question if I was a Transformers fan, but the Bumblebee Movie and this film gave me closure, and it makes me happy to still be a fan of this franchise.
The way you seamlessly piece together all the bay movies is insane. You take a mess of ideas and are able to make it into a pretty damn good narrative. Big props to you for this, this is art!
Ok I know I’m not trying to be that way, but sincerely better-written than the entire Bayverse franchise thus far. I LOVE how y’all reconciled the conflicting stories. It was such an elegant solution. Absolutely gorgeous and well-done.❤❤❤
If ever there was an Oscar award for Best TH-cam Movie you would win in my book TFI. You take amazing TFormers stories and make them into genuine works of art 😊 I cried, laughed and cheered during this and it definitely brings the best possible closure to the Bayverse
This was an absolute pleasure and honor to be a part of, to be in one of your videos Sam is still crazy to me. And for it to be the film giving the Bayverse an ending and fixing so much of what got screwed up is... incredible. Thank you for allowing me to be a a part of this project that isn't just special to others, but to me as well. Thank you ♥
Maybe The Matrix Would Have Bring Back Ironhide Ratchet Jazz And The Other Dead Autobots
50:55, wtf, this came out before anyone saw rise of the beasts, an exchange between Optimus & Unicron happened nearly word for word. THATS A BIG COINCIDENCE!
It’s no coincidence. A fellow TFI member saw the early screenings and told me that exchange. He then said it’s likely that line was going to be cut, so we used it. I guess it wasn’t cut
@@TFICreations nope, it was definitely not cut. Still, love the fan film, especially everything with Megatron. Although if i May give you some feedback. It did feel a little too small of scale, after all I think this is meant to be the grand finale. But, I still like that it felt more personal, it felt like a drama movie with action in it rather than an action movie with drama in it, and I loved that, great job. 👍
You gave the Bayverse the best closure. Great Masterpiece. 👍
16:30 lmao "half a century in Europe will do that to you" not even 20 mins in yet and thats the best line
If Bay was to make a sequel to The Last Knight, I think it would be like this. TILL ALL ARE ONE.
Nah bay would’ve added like 50,000 explosions
@@FelixMorales-x2g And more pointless human scenes, inaproppriate shots, barely any transformer dialogue, fast paced trippy action scenes and few crappy one liners.
@@boriskoutsenok6013 fax
I was about to head for bed till this came in but still what a perfect way to end of the Bayverse series
If TLK was a success and Michael Bay actually made this sequel, This movie would've made history
Now that’s a movie if Michael Bay could make the final Transformers movie.🎥
-Thank you for making the movie that we want.😌
At 10:30 Whoever the hell is voicing Bee deserves a damn Oscar!! That shit was genuinely heart breaking and the performance just sells it perfectly 👌
That would be me :)
@@TFICreations u sir need an oscar
@@TFICreations wonder what happened with cade ??? ( Not barricade)
Tchalla: Get dis man an Oscar.
🤟
This was an unexpected surprise to see in my recommended on my last day of school! This was an absolute treat and the fact that it is feature length only adds to the joy. Thank you for ending off the bayverse with a bang!
I love this film. Despite being fanmade, it serves a good sequel to the Last Knight.❤
No words. This is a masterpiece, cinematography is incredible, soundtrack is breathtaking, and damn impressive visuals. Amazing job man! My new head cannon right here.
the megatron depiction was a good change to the one we know and love in the bayverse because it showed him to have emotions and feelingsn and Blue Rat did the perfect voice for the best leader of the decepticons
Dr. Strange: We’re in the Endgame now
Optimus Prime: Let everyone know *this* was our Finest Hour
I loved the Bayverse and was disappointed it didn’t get the closure it did, but you managed to create a beautiful ending to it. This was a great video.
This is beautiful, the cinematography is amazing and everything about it is just such a breath of relief from tlk. This feels more than a fan project, this is a love letter to us bayverse fans and sams death made me tear up a bit. all the characters struggles are shown clearly and the action is amazing! Thank you TFI
Un chef-d'oeuvre du cinema! Once again, another fantastic release is gifted to us, this time adding some true meat to the ending areas of the Bay films. Being a part of this was a true pleasure, and I'm honored to have worked alongside every incredible individual who gave their all in this piece. Our finest hour? One of many, still yet to come.
Yeah, when you voicing as Hot Rod from The Last Knight after your voice as Maverick in Maverick: Danger Zone from Transformers x Top Gun fan film.
Can I say something? This had become my favourite TFI Film, with Re-Generation One, Last Bot Standing, and now this? My new favourite Genre of Transformers stories are Endings, Finales to a continuity that provides closure, and this did just that, for a continuity I have such shaky and mixed feelings on, you made me Understand and finally come to peace with versions of the characters like Optimus, and fall in love with others like Bumblebee and Megatron, also, hot damn, I think it’s pretty much confirmed now that Megaton Redemption or Attonement stories are GOATED, seriously, the Megatron scene in the final battle had be punching my bed and legitimately yelling at 10 at night.
This film is genuinely a work of art in my eyes, it made me feel so many emotions and by the end, I felt at peace, with such a Beautiful and Intimate story. Thank you to everyone who worked on this Excellent film and hope each and every one of you are proud and taking care of yourselves~ 💚💚💚
That truly was a fine hour. Well done everyone!!!
Voice acting was great.
Story was great.
Script was great.
Loved it! Cant wait for your next project to release
The horror that was in bees voice finding out about Sam 😞 so much pain
Absolutely fantastic piece of art. I have nothing but good things to say about this. I felt like I was a little kid again. Props to all of the TFI crew that came together to make this incredible film happen. If you shown this to someone back in the OG interstellar days they would be speechless. It is amazing how far we have come from back then to now. Thank you for all that you do Sam. ❤
This was phenomenal, the fact you managed to tie the story together from the five Bay movies was incredible, and the writing was nothing short of amazing you should be in the movie or TV industry because this is without a doubt my favourite Michael Bay transformers movie, Bravo (and FYI Hot Rod pointing at Megatron was hilarious)
I legitimately cried Bumblebee denial of Sam's death and blames Optimus for it, and I also cried when Optimus guilt increased when he look the name of Sam and yelled the no...
Edit: I want to appreciate the voice of Megatron sounding like both Hugo Weaving and Frank Welker at the same time
this is amazing, it concludes the bayverse really good, I love how you refrenced the other films, 41:14 GIGAWATT SPOTTED
They defeated Unicron together!
That's the ending I've ever been counting on!
this is truly beautiful, no other fandom that I've seen in my life has had this luxury of creativity thrive within it, it is something special.
This is a standout concept man! I love the quality, figures, background and effects! Superb conclusion to the bay franchise!
Bay formers was one of the things that got me so involved in the franchise, so to see it end is truly magical . Another magical thing is that this short film made me like Bay Formers' hot rod well done TFI team well done 👏
I just realized that you used a lot of actual funny bay humor
Thanks for having me old friend, onward to the long march of infinity!!!
Absolutely spectacular work, Sam. So much emotion, as well as action. Part of the stunning work goes to the figures that were used. Those ThreeZero and Unique Toys figures are incredibly beautiful. Again, loved this so much as it does wrap up the Bay verse quite nicely, and gives us a better ending than the movie that came before it. Can't wait to see what you cook up next, Sam!
33:56 now this explains alot of the plot holes of the live action films, the transformers history and evolution than what TLK film showed. And I like the part where you made primus the homeworld of the knights and quintessons instead of making cybertron being primus himself, a very well done plot.
I do hope to see a lore similar to this in a sequel of TLK if paramount still intend on making it🔥💯.
And my theory about Unicron in the Bayverse is like the Anti-Spark, the opposite of the AllSpark.
@@thomasrigby6166 like the dark spark is the opposite of the matrix interesting 🤔
@@reptilo7099 Correct.
@thomasrigby6166 I also did a theory on the maximals origins before rise of the beasts was released, such as them being descendants of the cybertronians that participated and survived the great battle for the matrix, who were left stranded on earth after the dynasty of primes disappeared 17,000 years ago, then adapt in the new environment, evolved,had the ability to transform into prehistoric animals, and created tribes such as maximals, predacons and others. Which how the beast wars could've happened, if the film was a prequel to the bayverse.
But the film ended up saying otherwise, I guess, but it kinda didn't add up, in my opinion 🤷😭.
@@reptilo7099 Ok.
You really gave quite an amazing conclusion to the storyline that started with the 07. It's basically the type of movie we'd see on the big screen. Thanks for making this!
11:21 I feel bad for bumblebee and optimus prime for the lost of their best friends. Rest in peace, Sam 😔.
seeing that Bumblebee's voice actor's name is Samuel is like poetry in a way. this fan-made sequel was satisfying as it seemed to tie loose ends from the previous movies. Thank you so much for this! And i love the fact that *Spoilers*

when Unicron offers to give Optimus everything he wants and he replies with "THEN DIE." is exactly how it went down in Transformers: Rise of The Beasts i frickin lost it as i actually loved that one liner.
Bravo, this was beautiful, a perfect ending to the bay verse, wouldn’t change a thing!
Always a pleasure voicing Barricade and voicing in your projects TFI. Good work everyone!!! :D
This was really good and helped make the orginal saga of Transformers make a lot more sense, this whould of been the ending I'd of wanted to see if the films had continued. I think this film is a testament to how the transformers franchise needed new blood and a new direction, with Micheal Bay just not really being able to cut it in the end. The focus on the transformers and Optimus Prime's growing fury that had been progressing was particuly well handled. And the inclusion of past lore was really good.
So happy to finally see an ending for the bay films. Hotrod was my favorite in this. Huge preesh to chrithmuth wolf for voicing him. Amazing as always!
This film has truly been amazing to watch! Watched it on my flat screen tv! Visuals are fantastic writing is fantastic! Keep up the outstanding work
Awesome video 10/10 this is so well done. Excellent writing, good jokes, great callbacks to previous films & use of elements from those films. Transformers 6 never happened but I’m glad we have TFI Creations to fill the gap on this epic series. Bravo to you. The only thing I have to niggle is why was there no mention of Kade? But other than that, everything was absolutely perfect
yet another banger. bravo to the entire team for this incredible conclusion!! i love how you wrote prime, megs, bee, and hot rod. all of the VAs did a great job too. such respect and care.
at the same time, i kinda wish the other autobots had more to do, even if it would've just been them sacrificing themselves to save the humans or something like that (drift being completely absent aside from the beginning scene was kind of odd, unless he was in the med bay this whole time). but, then again, this is already an hour long and ya already had a shit-ton of characters to juggle, and that would've bloated the project even further, so i understand.
also, in response to that tweet, gigawatt spotted at 41:14
This truly is our Finest Hour! Another great video Sam
Rip sam and Barricade that stop motion was amazing like always cant wait to finish my tf6-9 stop motion series
This is phenomenal. The way you were able to make sense of michael bay’s messy franchise is incredible. This was a good ending to the Bayverse.
This honestly gave me chills
I have been DREADING for a sequel of The last knight ever since quintessa revealed that she was still alive and and that Unicron was now waking up, it made me so sad that they didn't continue bayverse anymore and this fan movie made me ease the want for a sequel.
Thank you for making this, my 10 year old heart years ago would've been so happy watching this after watching the last knight later when she found out that bayverse wasn't continuing anymore.
The 5 movies will always have a place inside my heart even though I was only born in the year when transformers 2 released, I grew up with the movies for so long I wouldn't let anyone take it away from me, once again thank you for making this
(made me cry a little while typing this-)
What a way to end the Bayverse! Watching bumblebee and prime react to Sam's death was truly something magnificent. The cherry on top would've been if the movie ended with the song "Lost" by linkin park but I'm guessing TH-cam would frown on that lol another great movie!
Ps 45:00 had me in stitches
As usual, Sam, you and the TFI Crew do Bayformers better than Bayformers.
Speechless. That was amazing. I can see every ounce of love and effort put into this project from everyone involved. You folks killed it!
Even though this isn’t canon to the Bay-verse, I’m still satisfied with how this played out. I enjoyed every moment of this Fan Film and it felt like a proper ending to the Trilogy. Amazing job as always!!!
It’s definitely canon how would the bayverse end oh wait leave it as a cliffhanger FOREVER even tho the bay movie sucked it’s still has action and heartfelt moments in this so yeah this is canon and it always be canon end of story
I consider it cannon. Since Bumblebee and ROTB are, in essence, a reboot, I'd consider this a proper send-off to the original Bayformers we should've gotten. I also enjoyed it and love every moment of it!
@@72acemon4I just realise that there’s another movie that is a sequel to the last knight it’s a animation tho
I loved the Bay movies as a kid, and they still have a lot of nostalgia to me now. Thank you for making a great finale to the franchise!
@@ВитяВпря
Pros: Got me into transformers
Has a lot of great designs
I really loved Megatron in the first movie. He might be my favourite Megatron incarnation ever in media
Lockdown was badass
Sentinel was a decently interesting villain
Epic action scenes
Legendary music
First movie was awesome
Sexy cars
Cons:
Horrible/non existent plot
Oversexualizing of women in the movies
Lot of characters sucked. Prime in all the movies after the first one was too violent. Megatron became a bitch after the first movie. And we don’t talk about Starscream
While I like 90% of the Bay designs, the bad ones are bad. Really bad
Each movie had to explain how the transformers were connected to earth, which got boring
Wasted villains like The Fallen and Megatron
Autobots got shafted in favor of human screen time
The twins. They deserve to be mentioned separately
A lot more problems, but I don’t want to make this too long
Oh my God this is a good fan film. Scratch that this one of the greatest transformer fan films and films in general on TH-cam!!!!!!! This is too good. I love all the connections to all the previous Bayverse movies. This truly feels like a sequel and a continuation of the Michael Bay movies. If I considered this cannon to the Bayverse (which I’m thinking of right now) then I would say this is the best one to connect all the movies. This really feels like a proper ending to the Bayverse and still feels there could be more to tell when at the same time it feels like the end. And the writing. Ohhhhhhhhhh My Gooooooooood!!!!!!!! This film has such great scenes. I love all the scenes when characters are interacting. The scenes with Optimus and Megatron or Bumblebee and Hot Rod, all their scenes together are so great. There is too much to be said here. TFI you have really outdone yourself!!!! Now I feel the need to point out all the references to the previous films for a video. Or a entire review saying more of what I want to say about this film because it is too good to not be talked about. This is now number 1 on the list of films you’ve made next to Transformers: Interstellar. People or anyone needs to make a review on this! Anyways good job. Outstanding Fan film!!!! Keep up the good work! ❤😊
btw Rest In Peace Sam Witwicky 😢🪦⚰️💀
I’m gonna be honest, i clicked on this video thinking it was going to be another crappy fan movie but i ended up watching the entire thing. I am moved to say the least. The writing, the voices, the setting, the soundtrack, everything was to perfection. The jokes were there, the emotions were evoked, even the action had me on the edge. This entire film is what TLK should’ve been and I bet with a budget and studio that TLK had, this would’ve been the best ending to we could get from a fan movie continuing the bayverse yet. Simply amazing.
very much epic!
