3:37 So, to recap, Megatron has: Ripped out Bee's voicebox, Possessed him, Forced him to bring him back, Shot him with Dark Energon, Infected his human companion with Dark Energon. Jeez, Megatron, I thought Optimus was supposed to be your arch-nemesis...
I love when transformers use their alt modes in battle or partly transform while fighting. It makes them seem more like transforming robots rather than robots and vehicles, if you get my meaning.
That was a moment worthy of Bumblebee himself. I rarely ever see Optimus getting creative at utilizing his bot/vehicle modes and that moment gives me chills every time.
@@SlickZero1028yes! I was worried the more boring parts in the first half of s1 were gonna turn him off the show. Season 2 has some of my highest ranked eps.
@@SlickZero1028 Yeah, even the boring parts have huge signinficance, like the Bulkhead getting smart episode,which sets up the Cyberforming of earth arc.
When Optimus Prime gets even more serious than he already is, it is a wrap. If Dark Energon wasn't a factor, Optimus definitely would have killed Megatron. Seeing that optimism Optimus had for Megatron for eons crumble is heartbreaking. From here, the show and the fight will continue to be it's own.
A little detail i love about this fight is that it shows what fighting styles Megatron and Optimus excel at. Megatron clearly has the edge in hand to hand combat as he was landing far more blows then Optimus. Optimus has the edge in sword fighting as he started landing blows and even started to get the edge over over him which is why Megatron stopped using his sword the second he got the change and instantly landed two brutal hits. Optimus was sent flying and since Megatron has greater firepower at range Optimus was at an incredible disadvantage and had he tried to block the shots and go back to "typical" fighting like he did earlier there was a big change he would lose. So he used his truck mode to quickly close the distance, something that clearly took Megatron by surprise and allowed to optimus to regain the edge as he knocked megaron of the cliffside. Then deciding to blind him to insure that Megatron couldn't regain the edge. Megatrons brute strength and durability is insane as it took a dozen critical blows just to knock him the ground. Optimus did not land even one blow when the two where gong at it with just their fists and even with his sword the edge was not big so if he hadn't blinded Megatron then he probably would have lost or at the very least struggled way more then he already was. It as his creativity, surprisingly dirty fighting and of the wall thinking that allowed him to win. Along with his power boosting blood rage ofc.
“This may be the best episode so far, I dunno.” It is. Out of the ones you’ve seen thus far? This is the best episode. “One shall stand…” “And one shall fall. You, Optimus Prime!”
Hey man, just wanted to say I love your reactions and how you really analyse things so well! Do you happen to have any Patreon or anyway to watch your uncut reactions, i’d totally pay for that, you’re better than most reactors i’ve seen! 🤣
Oh man I was hyped for this reaction. I was on the edge of my seat when I was watching this episode cause we’ve not seen Optimus and Megatron fight since episode 5 darkness rising part 5
This and the next episode parts are Amazing, especially for a season finale. Just seeing Optimus and Bee's reactions to Raphael's conditions are enough to know that things just go serious, and That Fight with Prime and Megatron is Spectacular
Optimus is a patient bot (usually), but collateral damage and cruelty tend to be effective ways of pushing his buttons. Just be prepared for the results to be... unnerving. And highly dangerous.
*Now* we get to the good stuff. Not that it wasn't good before but this is the culmination of the 'Rising Darkness' spoken of in the pilot. Fitting that you'd watch this so soon after Transformers One showing the beginning of Optimus and Megatron as friends even if it's a different continuity. Things continue to ramp up for the next 3 episodes, savor them well.
this was a great episode now we see Optimus has in a sense taken the gloves off with megs now that Raphael was hurt like I said he has his limits and ratchet had good character stuff same with everyone else I mean Optimus and megs were close once as you saw in tf one and Optimus said himself that Optimus had hope to get through to the bot he once was and it was great seeing bee and arcee bound is nice and now we see that arcee can be a good mentor for jack and others and yeah ratchet and June did good saving Raphael and ratchet did have a good moment with his lament of not learning human medicine and I get the feeling after this he read up on a ton of human medical journals
Megatron is not the Rising Darkness, something much more ancient, terrible and infinitely powerful then all the Decepticons put together is. It's been under their noses the whole time.
I wonder what you think about seeing Optimus and Megatron here. For them, it's been thousands of years that they've been enemies for. This is sort of a very aged conflict now, and I'm wondering what you think of seeing them like this, given how we saw them as brothers in Transformers One, which you reacted to a while back. I'd consider Transformers One as loose canon to Transformers Prime. The details of the story of Orion Pax and D-16 are different but the story flows the same direction. And if you think this fight was good, just you wait. The action continues to improve as the show progresses. There was one particular 2v1 in season 3 that people consider the best fight in the entire show.
Glad you got to start on the best season finale of the show. I really appreciate how Ratchet learned how much he needed Raf since to me his character arc is learning about how to appreciate humanity.
I really love Ratchet's character development. The quality of the show is so inconsistent becuse they production team had a ton of difficulties (monetary, conflict of vision etc).
After seeing Transformers One, it's tragic to see Optimus willing to kill Megatron, his former best friend. That movie is not canon, but their friendship in general is canon
3:37 So, to recap, Megatron has:
Ripped out Bee's voicebox,
Possessed him,
Forced him to bring him back,
Shot him with Dark Energon,
Infected his human companion with Dark Energon.
Jeez, Megatron, I thought Optimus was supposed to be your arch-nemesis...
Optimus burning out his tires on Megatron’s face is one of the rawest moments in all of fiction
real.

Real asf
@@ravenebony2267Like transformers one
That was a moment worthy of Bumblebee himself. I rarely ever see Optimus getting creative at utilizing his bot/vehicle modes and that moment gives me chills every time.
This is where shit starts to get so real in the show omfg
For real. After this there really aren’t too many boring parts of the show.
@@SlickZero1028 There never were to begin with. But yeah, season 2 and 3 are 🔥🔥🔥
@@SlickZero1028yes! I was worried the more boring parts in the first half of s1 were gonna turn him off the show. Season 2 has some of my highest ranked eps.
100%
@@SlickZero1028 Yeah, even the boring parts have huge signinficance, like the Bulkhead getting smart episode,which sets up the Cyberforming of earth arc.
2:23 “Hey Optimus, wanna see something funny?”
“No.”
One of my favorite moments lol
Somehow funny and tragic at the same time. To become a Prime is to lose your sense of humor forever :'(
THIS IS WHEN THE SHOW ASCENDS TO PEAK
When Optimus Prime gets even more serious than he already is, it is a wrap. If Dark Energon wasn't a factor, Optimus definitely would have killed Megatron. Seeing that optimism Optimus had for Megatron for eons crumble is heartbreaking. From here, the show and the fight will continue to be it's own.
The end of the episode shocked me to the core
Yeah, "to the core"
Legitimately a phenomenal episode, so excited for whats to come

When I watched this back in 2011 it was so awesome when I watched this for the first time
It's so crazy, if not for the Dark Energon suddenly surging in power due to the eruption, Megatron would have died right there.
Hew, you made it. One of the best episodes in TV.
Optimus really cut loose in that fight and I loved it the first time I watched it when I was a kid.
This series is amazing. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Well, now i'm guaranteed the next 6 weeks are gonna be full of great reactions
AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE FINALE YET!
Seen all the videos on the playlist up until this one, subscribed! Reactions to TFP? YES PLEASE.
I'm keeping an eye on you 😗
Good thing Optimus was like Jack more instead of Miko. Cause with her influence, nobody wants to be around her at all. Knowing she cause problems.
I've seen it a hundred times, but i still get goosebumps! 😮😅
3:13 that got me off guard
I love this show it’s Amazing

The decepticon ship The nemesis is I think is the big Godzilla I forgot his name
The blood of the Chaos Bringer flows rich this night. Will the Chosen of Primus prevail? Or will the Dark Champion rise? Stay tuned.
Amazing episode
I love this episode ❤
HYPEEEEEE
Megatron is not the Rising Darkness, something much more ancient, terrible and infinitely powerful then all the Decepticons put together is. It's been under their noses the whole time.
SHHHHH
🔥 episode
Armageddon is here! And it's not waiting for you to open the door.
I was angry at Megatron when I saw bee carrying Raph 😢
I don't think any Optimus who turns their back on diplomacy is worthy of being a prime
Generator rex when?
m8 you got to react to the orignal transformers movie .. 1986
I did lol

Watch soundwave carefully. When the series is over, you will see that you are the strongest, smartest robot !
