The CGI and special effects are really impressive for their time, and Peter Cullen voiced Optimus Prime to perfection. That man never disappoints. Also, it doesn't matter how many times I see it, the scene with Optimus and the other Autobots arriving on Earth will always give me the good kind of chills.
This is random, but I’ve seen you everywhere, with nice comments, including MikeyVenture and (I think) Blind Wave. Your comments are always a pleasure.
I’d argue given the plethora of recent examples of atrocious CGI in massively expensive movies and television series, the CGI has gotten BETTER over time
@@RawReviews.Your comment was a pleasure to read bro, too wholesome
@@user-le6ex5rc1s Everyone? Stop projecting.
Na faxxx like personally I actually enjoy the cgi more in the first 3 compared to the newer ones might be nostalgia but idc
The scene with them calling the pentagon and getting customer service is based off real life. It happened to the team that was training the actors for the gun scenes and they added it to the movie
I know this is a year late, but I need to know where you got that. This is hilarious 😂😂
@@_.hybrids._1680 Michael Bay talked about it in the directors commentary
For your transformation question. Typically any Cybertronian has one alternate mode. If they want a new alt mode, they have to scan a new machine (usually a vehicle) which discards the old alt mode. But there are some Cybertronians that can have 2 alt modes, or even 5! There's also the INCREDIBLY rare Shifters, that can just freely transform as they please. And the metal they are made of is of their own biology, typically called "living metal" or "cyber-matter," that allows them to shift and contort to the forms as they please.
lets not forget about the rare occasions where they can shift into humans and have seemingly flesh
@@houseofactionAh yes, the Pretenders.
@coopinatormusic6214 Thanks for the additional info. Can you evaluate if it is a design flaw or a storytelling flaw that none of the Autobots chose an aircraft mode instead of the inferior land vehicles that is something that has always bothered me in all the movies.
@@Karadjanov That's just how it's been for Transformers as a whole. One show made it a plot point that Autobots were incapable of flight (something that is very much not true in other Transformers media), but for the most part it's just how it's been. Usually from a marketing standpoint.
Also the rare occasion where they can transform into not neccesarily just vehicles but also take on the forms of animals, insects etc.
I think It’s underrated how Megatron and Optimus meet each other again in this. They don’t bother with threats or speeches at each other; they just get right back into it like nothing’s changed over the last thousand years
War. War never changes.
I remember another reactor misheard Megatron in that scene and thought the exchange was:
“Megatron!”
*”CRIME!”*
I would replay this movie constantly as a kid & even now yet I've never picked up on that. Nice catch !
I always heard “Magatron”
“TIME”, before I turned on subtitles.
@@purpleemerald5299
Thousand? Nah, nah millions. The war was 7 million years in Cybertron.
In the lore, the reason why the first thing Megatron says is his name is because the whole time he was frozen he was conscious and angry that they were calling him NBE 1 instead of his glorious name. And he somewhat respected Sam specifically because he was the first to call him by his name.
“This is NBE-1!” “Shut up stupid ass”
“Naw that’s Megatron” “ok I’m killing you last”
Megatron really hit Sam with the "You're cool, don't come to Hoover Dam tomorrow" 😂😂
I forgot how fun the first Transformers film was! Compared to the later sequels, the cinematography is great here as the shaky cam is kept at a minimum. I also love that they got the voice actors from the 80s series, especially Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime!
I didn't think 3 was that bad actually had a pretty good ending that's where it should have ended
@@brianlinville54203 was so good dude
@brianlinville5420 I could not agree more. As a matter of fact, TF3 was supposed to be the last Bayverse Transformers movie. That’s why it was so big and epic and fantastic, because he wanted the series to go out with a bang, but Hasbro and the fans wanted more. So he basically just made the movies 4 and 5 for profit as all of his actual creativity was poured into TF3.
@@brianlinville5420 Part 3 had pretty good cinematography with the battles and perspective of people in the ground watching them.
That's the only voice actor from the 80s show. They didn't bring in more Transformers voice actors until later movies.
The legend goes that after seeing the prototypes in Japan, the entire Transformers lore, Optimus Prime, Megatron, the War for Cybertron, all thought up and decided by two guys in the back of a taxi.
Man Peter Cullen has the most legendary voice period. This man could be reading a grocery list and I would sit there and listen to him and the story where he explains the origins of Optimus voice and that he got inspiration for it from his brother is amazing.
Me too.
"Bumblebee, we need to get milk, eggs but most importantly... BREAD"
@@Squishy-BallsI can imagine Optimus working at a bread store and Megatron comes in looking for a baguette and a brioche like that bread bank meme lmao
This was in my opinion the best out of the Bayverse movies, since it showed how behind the Autobots are in terms of firepower and combat capabilities, and how much of a problem Megatron was. Fun fact that scene in the desert where they were running to the village, the explosions were a bit of a surprise for the actors, so thats real fear and shock in their faces running for their lives. Also RIP Jazz, you were robbed of your potential.
I held out hope that they would revive Jazz, but no 😢.. the Pontiac Solstice still remains to be my fav car
I agree
Dark of the Moon was also suprisingly solid and is where these movie should have ended to be bonest.
Hear hear!
@@filipvadas7602and it was gonna end at the 3rd movie but the fan and Hollywood wanted more. And they decide to make two more to end it.
Here’s a fun little fact. The car parked beside Bumblebee at the dealership was a yellow beetle. Bumblebee’s original alternate mode back in gen 1 was a yellow beetle as well. A nice little reference for older fans.
And a jab at VW because they didnt want to be involved with the movies
Got to see it on opening night. The crowd was a cross between gearheads and old school nerds. During the end fight with Optimus and Megatron this little girl, probably about 8 or 9, stood up on the back of the one of the seats and screamed "KICK HIS ASS OPTIMUS!" and the crowd went nuts. Was an amazing movie to finally hit theaters kind of deal back then. Good times.
I know people didn’t like first main characters but I always thought the first 3 films where better because of them and there chemistry. After they left the next haven’t been that good.
Same. I stopped watching after Shia wasn't in the films
The soft reboot that started with Bumblebee has definitely been an upswing in quality!
Exactly the first three have way better characters then 4,5 and the reboots
Same, I loved Shia Labeouf. Phenomenal actor
37:35 The way he said “What’s crackling, little b**ches?” Always gets me every time 😂
Steve Jablonsky's scores for all 5 of these films are absolute fire. While other areas dip up and down in quality, the music remains consistently amazing.
and it gets better every movie. the music
The best of the first five as far as plot and storytelling. Bumblebee was originally a VW bug in the cartoon, so having the Camaro hit the bug with its door was Michael bay's way of saying this won't be the transformers you remember. All of the original vehicles were either German or Japanese models in the cartoon, but they got a lot of money from General Motors for the movies, so they had to use their cars and trucks
And at the time, the new Camaro hadn't been released yet so the car in the movie was a prototype and the movie was sort of an unveiling of the car. I believe they even came out with a Transformers or Bumblebee edition Camaro at some point.
True, as stated above me, the newer Camaro used was actually a prototype of the new production model. From what I remember reading, the actors were barely allowed to touch the car, and they had to be extra careful, because that was the only one on the set.
In regards to why Optimus didn't think of putting the all spark into Megatron their actually is a reason. There was a slim chance for the cube to just power Megatron up even more and make him stronger, you actually hear Optimus yelling "Sam no!" as he wasnt sure what would happen.
In the IDW comics Megatron used to be a slave miner until he caused a riot to fight against the corrupt Autobot elite, becoming a gladiator and civil rights activist before starting the civil war and creating the Decepticon movement!
Optimus used to be a libarian and body guard called Orion Pax who was originally friends with Megatron and wanted to stop the corruption on their planet before Megatron became corrupt himself, becoming the oppressive evil he had once swore to destroy!
Well, Michael Bay gets a lot of help from the US military because he always portrays them as the heroes. That is why he gets to do the epic stuff.
That explains a lot.
Saw this movie in the theater with my dad and it blew me away!
Originally Joseph Khan and Robert Zemeckis were considered for directing the film, until Michael Bay was picked. He didn't want to direct the film, thinking it was a stupid kids movie aimed at toys, but when he read the script, he immediately signed on for the project.
The original script was a lot different, told from the human characters perspective, like a disaster movie, and that none of the robot characters had any dialogue.
The climax of the film was going to take place in the Grand Canyon, where the Autobots and Decepticons have an old west style showdown.
1:02:03 me too.
Yeah no this CGI, action, cinematography, sound design and music makes this movie so enjoyable and it should get all the credits. Its insanely cool, and doesnt need to be anymore than that. Also I love that Bay loves to showcase the military power and competence
out of all the transformer movies, they went hard on the music score for this one, Autobots arriving theme is so well done
Makes me want to get emotional 🥲
The second movie had a fantastic soundtrack too. Unfortunately its epicness got overshadowed by all the other terrible things about the film. 😅
@@GenkoNoMiko facts 21 guns playing at the beginning and end aswell as new divide by linkin park fit so well
I’m so excited that you guys are now reacting to the Transformers film series. While the story, and acting isn’t incredible I still enjoy them for the action, music and visual effects which makes the series standout and of course Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime.
Hopefully once you finish with all 5 of the Michael Bay Transformers films you will start doing _Bumblebee_ and _Rise of the Beasts_ and also big congrats on gaining 230k subscribers 2 days ago.
I remember seeing this first live adaptation to Transformers on the big screen and it, to me was a sight to behold. Everyone has their takes when it comes to the Michael Bay Transformers films, but this one walked so that the others could run. The cgi on the Cybertronians look very good and I also like the soundtrack as well, especially the “Arrival to Earth” track. It is as memorable and epic as they come!
Me too.
Arrival to earth is on my score playlist. It’s beautiful and epic.
When this came out in the theaters I made my mom take me to it like 10 times😂 one of my all time favorite movies.
This movie worked to bring the cartoon balance between playful and serious-it’s meant for kids and teenage boys, obviously! The CGI for solid surfaces was pretty on point and worked really well. The original is by far the best IMO.
“Were we so different?”
Such a hard line and also a great response to the “Humans bad” trope in films. Optimus is truly a goat!
Also, Starscream taking down the F-22’s was one of the coolest things in the entire series
Absolutely criminal how later movies reduced the amazing transformations to bad CGI flying blocks. Easily the best part of this first movie are the movements of the transformers.
which movies are you talking about?
@@hiimaguy1300 tf4 I guess
I’m so excited for you to watch the next ones! I LOVE the transformer movies! The CGI, the sound affects and soundtrack. Also the military stuff is really cool!
I remember watching the films with my mom and seeing her get so freaking emotional. I miss seeing that excitement in her eyes as she named off each of the Autobots and Decepticons
Bumblebee always had a voice before this adaptation. I can’t remember why Michael Bay decided to make bumblebee have no voice, but some tv shows decided to go along with it because it worked in the movie
Not always. In the Beast Wars cartoon, they show that Bumblebee lost his voice during the past time travel, so it is canon. I think they kept it to lower the costs and to make him more childlike since he couldn't talk.
In Bumblebee, it's showed that he lost his voicebox because Blitzwing ripped it out after he refused to give up Optimus Prime's location, hence why he can only communicate through radio and garbled sounds throughout the entirety of the Bayverse
@@tanyatheendergirl8987 thats part of the reboot. In the Bayverse, Megatron destroyed it.
I love early 2000’s movies like this because they used to focus a lot more on the plot and script with the right amount of comedic timing. This movie will always be top tier.
Me too. Because, I was born in the late 90s.
@@nathancruz9172 Same
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen the movie, the scene with Optimus and the other Autobots arriving on Earth will always give me the good kind of chills.
As a Transformers fan since 2001, I grew up hearing Neil Kaplan voice Optimus. From Neil Kaplan, I heard Garry Chalk's Optimus voice in the Unicron trilogy. I feel a little like a fraudulent fan because it took me until the live-action movies and the series Transformers Prime to hear Peter Cullen speak as Optimus Prime to truly bask in the glory of the Supreme Commander of the Autobots.
54:39
“His face is a national threat” 😂
Im happy to say I saw this movie in the theatres when it came out, twice I think. Im not a movie snob, but I can tell the difference between good story telling and...not so good, and while Transformers had its flaws here and there, mainly with some of Sam's story, and maybe they needed to cut some fat - HOWEVER, I LOVED this movie, a great action movie, fantastic visuals and cg, it was honestly exhilarating seeing this on the big screen - seeing my childhood nostalgic memories come to life like this, I was blown away. Yes, it's not Inception, it's not a deep character study, it's not a convoluted plot with incredible catharsis - but that's a strong point I find. This was PERFECT for giant robots that transform into vehicles and jets, I dont know what more people would want lol. Yes, i think it's a passtime for critics and internet people to criticize Michael Bay, but credit where credit is due, the guy made an AMAZING action movie. Yes, Sam had a lot of plot armour, but Im not sure what people were expecting. Are there some scenes that could be improved? Sure, but for what it was meant to be - a great action movie, I was very, very pleased
Your video lost it sound during the best part..! Sucks
copyright issues
Barricade is the only Decepticon in this movie to show his insignia while in vehicle form. I've actually turned my car into a slightly modified version where it has every marking seen on Barricade's car put instead of where it says police on Barricade my car reads security. My car is also a different model than Barricade's Ford Mustang Saleen.
I know people had their ups and downs with these movies. But I legitimately loved the first movie with the crude humor and epic explosions. It got me into the cartoons and the lore. Really good movie
My son was huge Transformer fan. He cried when Optimus Prime came on the screen!!!!❤❤❤❤
Optimus prime is my favorite autobot.
Always loved this movie when it came out. In fact this was my introduction to Peter Cullen, having started this franchise with Beast Wars and Garry Chaulk.
Also Michael Bay LOVES the military. Every scene with the soldiers and officers play out like actual operations. Even the cell phone scene was based on a story told from a soldier.
Me too.
Aren't we all starting to appreciate this more and more, after watching Rise of The Beasts 2023? Everything was so good: music, jokes, cinematography, plot, CGI...
Was Rise Of The Beasts not that good? I haven't seen it yet
@@softsounds8453It was pretty good but the cgi isn’t as crisp and the script can be a little off or dry sometimes. But I’ll take almost any transformers movie, so I’m probably not the best to judge it 😅
@@softsounds8453 it was decent, not as good as this one of dark of the moon
Idk if anyone’s mentioned it yet but the reason the fear and panic of the soldiers seems very real and authentic is because the production team set live primacord in the sand. They didn’t reveal the location of the explosives to the actors and all the direction they got was to run from point A to point B, say their lines, and they did it not knowing when the explosives would be set off
You can say what you want about Michael bay, and there is a lot to say, but the man can write a robot fight 😂😂
Bumblebee was the audience's entry to the Transformers in the cartoon. He was the first one you saw on screen, and then when they come to Earth, he befriends Spike Witwicky, and they have adventures together. But, he wasn't really the "main character" like he was in these movies. The cartoon was more of an ensemble. Spike interacted with all of them, but was closest with Bumblebee.
YES! My favorite movie of all time. I love that you guys are watching the whole series.
I'm so glad you guys WNR are reacting to Transformers. My fav would be Dark of the Moon and can't wait for you guys to see it. My ranking of them would be
1. Transformers
2. Dark of the Moon
3. Revenge of the Fallen
4. Age of Extinction
5. Last Knight
I disagree with Revenge of the Fallen being put at Three if anything I put It above Last Night but below Age of Extinction so my listing of the Bay Transformers are:
1. Transformers
2. Dark of the Moon
3. Age of Extinction
4. Revenge of the Fallen
5. The Last Night
@@EChaconthe fourth Film was way to long
@@andreasedich2418 I can agree about _Age of Extinction_ being long and the story not being good, but frankly I literally didn’t enjoy _Revenge of the Fallen_ in my honest opinion and would watch rather Age of Extinction over Revenge of the Fallen.
At least Extinction had the Dinobots even if they were "underutilized”
@@EChacon the only thing like about age of extinction is lockdown and the dinobots
In the original cartoon, the decepticons evolved from/ were made out of military equipment, and the autobots were service items/ equipment, eg trucks, cars and what not, that’s what contributed to their mentality, war like decepticons, protector like autobots
Of all of them, this is probably my favorite. It had the right amount of serious and the right amount of zero fucks. it went hard on the CGI. It made fun of a lot of tropes. Shia is really good at the semi-improved feeling rapid fire lines. The characters were all interesting and had some progression. Lots of things blew up. Space robots. What's not to like? And yeah, I think they were kind of having a little fun at the expense of teenagers. We all feel like Sam. Trying to be way cooler than we are, etc. We wish we had a vintage Camaro that turned out to be an alien robot. It's just a damn fun movie.
Love this!!!, nobody can hate on this movie. Never get tired of seeing it
It's total crap and all those who agree can most certainly "hate on" it.
@@USCFlashIf you call this one "crap" and hate on it, man I've got sympathy for you. You're probably a geewhiner, better stick to ROTB, It's goofy friendly.
@@RadGearsCreations
They are ALL crap.
Save your sympathy for yourself & your wretchedly bad taste in film.
@@USCFlashI'm gonna be "that guy" now. Make a better one.
@@spongeboymebob771
That is amazing logic...so, because I am not going to be handed $150 million to make an action film, suddenly, a terrible movie becomes magically good?
You truly are "that guy".
Trust me Micheal bay has his flaws with this franchise, especially after the 3rd movie (Dark of the moon). But watching this for the first time as a kid in '07 was so good that it had a lot of potential. That's how good this movie was
"not in those heels" 😂😂😂
Despite the transformers series becoming REALLY BAD later on, I will always love this first movie. I don't hate Michael Bay like others do and I actually really like when he makes a fan film.
*The Live Action series.*
It's my understanding that the military men and woman in these movies are actual active military (the extras, not the main actors of course). They participate in their days off.
Anyone else getting the sound muted around the 35 minute mark when the autobots are arriving if it was just the movie I’d understand but the guys are as well and I can see them talking.
1:09:17 for your gk, the decepticons actually have more aerial soldiers than autobots due to the storyline in comics where decepticons are shown the first ones to master flight.
This is one of my favourite Transformers movie. Underrated compared to the others. Funny as well as brilliant cinematography. My brother had an Optimus Prime robot in the 80’s that was really cool. He would play with it for hours. He watched the cartoons too.
1:06:35 that’s awesome
1:10:18 Fun fact: the man that Megatron flicks into the back of the taxi here is Michael Bay himself.
Don't worry about transformers turning into objects, like the radio that Frenzy transforms into in this movie. There's planets, cities, guns, cassette tapes, the whole lot.
Transformers has multiple different canons from different comic series' to TV shows and games, with some same elements and plotlines pretty consistently used (like the names of Transformers).
The budget for this move was supposedly 200 Million$ !!!
But the exact number isnt really known to my knowledge since they didnt want to reveal the real budget.
As a kid who grew up with these cartoons....I nearly shed a tear in the theaters watching the highway scene. 😁
Me too.
"We lost a great comrade... but gained plenty of spare parts for Bumblebee's legs, fortunately."
The name of every Transformers in order, (some you may remember from the classics, others are new):
Blackout - Decepticon assassin
Scorponok - Used as Blackout's drone in this movie
Bumblebee - Autobot scout and Sam's bodyguard
Frenzy - A Decepticon Minicon, whose role is espionage and sabotage
Barricade - Frenzy's partner in this movie and a Decepticon spy
Optimus Prime - Leader of the Autobots
Jazz - First lieutenant, especially in the G1 original
Ironhide - Weapons specialist
Ratchet - Medic
Devastator ( or in other media as Brawl ) - A Decepticon brute warrior
Bonecrusher - Decepticon warrior
Megatron - The tyrannical leader of the Decepticons
And Starscream
@@sawanna508 Oops, how could I forget
You are correct. Peter Cullen has been doing Optimus Prime since the Original 80s cartoon. There have been others play Optimus at times but Fans that have been there since Gen 1 will say there is only one Optimus Prime and thats Peter Cullen. He is THE Prime.
Everytime I watch this movie, all I can think about is 2007 and the memories that decade brought😭 TF1-3 will forever be my guilty pleasure trilogy.
I love how all the Transformers look and the cartoon Transformers prime is the only transformers media Ive seen that balances the autobots and humans working together well and the decepticons being villains greatly, it just focuses on the transformers more
The bot that popped out of Blackout (the helicopter) is known as Scorponok and the VW Beetle was a reference to Bumblebee’s cartoon form. And going from the cartoon, the Transformers of Cybertron are descendants of the creations of the Quintessons, known as the consumer (Autobots) and military hardware (Decepticons) bots before they rebelled against their creators. And that Cybertron is actually their deity/god Primus who battled Unicron before the current history and then “transformed” himself into a planet with surrounding space debris to keep his location hidden from his “twin”.
Fun Fact guys, All Cybertronians have an organ called a T-Cog that allows them to scan vehicles and transform. And the name of that Scorpion Decipticon is Scorponok.
The nostalgia from when I watched this for the first time in theaters just flowed through me.
As someone who watch the original 80s transformers cartoon episode by episode season by season The story lines in these movies are great. In comparison the transformer storylines in the original cartoon were like SpongeBob episode where each one was its own unique storyline. They barely had any storylines that can stretch past two episodes other than the fourth season, which was a four episode season rather than 40-50 episodes.
In fairness, the Marvel comic books were a LOT better. Not as good as the G. I. Joe comics, but still massively better than the cartoons.
:16 seconds before the confession that they've both seen it yet the tumbnail and title still says "first time watching"
I love these movies. So unappreciated, I think so.
I honestly kinda forget how awesome the first transformer actually is and how well balanced movie it is, it has everything a teenager can dream of. I remember seeing this in the cinema and was really hooked. After the first sequel it became worst and worst in storytelling and movie overal. I think it destroyed its own name my pushing this franchise to its max and even went over it. I might give it a try to watch you guys watch the entire thing. 🤓
1. One thing that always fascinated me was that, apparently, Michael Bay signed on for this movie after reading the script and being told that the studio wanted it to be filmed almost like a disaster movie. And, tbh, if you look at it from that perspective a lot of the creative decisions make sense and I can kind of appreciate them to an extent.
2. Personally this movie and Dark of the Moon are the best movies of the Bayverse.
They take themselves just seriously enough to get across the gravity of the stakes, the more childish humor is at a minimum and the villains don't feel like props.
3. The animation and CGi has aged *beautifully* and the soundtrack is really something else
From what Bay said, he wasn’t as familiar with the transformers lore, but the military men he used in the film grew up with these characters. He remembered a few of them asking would starscreen be in this movie and he was like, WTH? They know way more than I do about all this and he started paying attention to the things that really got them excited about the film.
The guy megaton flicked (1:10:20) just after you mentioned Micheal Bay was actually Micheal Bay
"His face is a national threat" that killed me 😂😂😂
When Bumblebee the Camero opened it's door into the beetle, this is a reference to the cartoon /original Bumblebee was a beetle. 👍
I remember watching the cartoon when I was a kid. Megatron used to transform into a gun that StarScream used.
OMGOOOSH IVE BEEN WAITONG FO THIS REACTION!!!! wanted to see what you and nobu thought of all the CGI!
Soundwave been turning into a tape player since day 1. No rules broken by Turing into a radio.
whenever i see one of my favorite reactors react to this movie my heart stops because this movie is so much awesomeness
If you really want to get into the whole grandiose transformers franchise, I’d definitely recommend you guys check out the 1986 transfer movie, which is based on the original transformers back in the 80s, which the movie is set between seasons 2 and 3 of the cartoon. It’s a cell shaded, hand drawn movie. If your going to continue to watch the live action movies, it will give you some (albeit very little) context as to what’s going on in the later films
"Sir, so we've built an airframe around a thirty milometer gun, and well... that's about it. It's durable, can take a lot of hits before the gun stops working. Oh and before the airframe collapses and falls out of the sky."
Hey guys! Ok so I didn't 'grow up' watching the animated series, as I was already an adult lol. I of course knew of them to a small extent. Anyways, in first seeing the trailer for this, it made me think- Wow...this looks good! I gotta go. So yeah, this shocked and surprised me at how very cool it was, let alone the SFX! Plus, OP's voice just reverberates through you. MB has a huge respect for our Military as I think a brother of his was in one of the branches, and speaking as a AF brat, I love the inclusion and lifting up of our Military. On another note, the older actor whose name you couldn't recall, is Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie's Father. He was also in the first M:I movie. And Fun Fact, the blondish Military guy who was JV's right hand is - Steven Ford, actor son of former VP and Pres. Gerald Ford ( Mother- Betty Ford, frm. 1st Lady). Overall....I mostly enjoyed the first 3 Transformers movies. I tried watching the one with Mark Wahlburg but but couldn't get into it. Was fun watching your reactions!😊
I've watched this film many times, it's funny but it's even funnier when I watch your reactions. I can't stop laughing watching you guys laugh🤣
Me too.
I really enjoyed watching Transformers with you guys as it’s my fourth time watching this film. Michael Bay knows how to entertain the audience with an action movie as he did it with his Transformer movies. It was a great film as for me it’s an action packed Sci-Fi film with a bit of comedy in it. The music is great as it gives you goosebumps. I loved the designs of the robots such as the autobots and the decepticons. Optimus Prime is just an iconic autobot and so wise in what he says and how he speaks🤩. I love Starscream as well as I had it’s action figure when I was a kid🔥. The cast was great including Shia Leabouff, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Bernie Mac(RIP), Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, John Turtutro etc. Sam is such a funny character and I loved his car scene with Megan Fox when the car stops in a lonely place with all the famous music playing😂🔥. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care, enjoy life, stay healthy and have a good one❤️
The modern camaro was actually a concept car. Chavy only had one of this near production ready car, which was able to drive, at that point.
The demand for this car skyrocketed, so that chavy concidered producing them again after this movie.
In case no one mentioned: Bumblebee in the cartoon was a Volkswagen bug, so that scene in the car lot was an easter egg.
I saw this in theaters and loved it. What you don't get viewing at home is how loud the sounds design was. It was truly an immersive experiance. No one could talk over the movie, just the screams of appreciations adding to madness of the action.
Me too
This is 1 of my fav transformers movie......it doesn't break the rules because almost anything that they scan they can become that object
That scene where Megatron flick that guy and said disgusting, the guy that got flicked was Michael Bay himself I saw it in a documentary once
Transformers 1 was actually the best movie in the series, even though it’s literally a huge advertisement for the US military, the movie itself is hilarious and action packed !
Wohooo I love transformers! Glad u guys are watching the movies
You guys should watch the animated movie as part of this collection, I think it was 1985, or around there. That would be cool.
prepare for termination.
Grew up watching it and love it I love the arrival of the autobots and love barricade he is awesome but like bee and Optimus more and also rip jazz
Fun facts:
- The Cube/Allspark is the new concept of energy source for the Cybertronians in this iteration. In the previous series, the energy source of all Transformers is Energon, which is the fuel, food, and lifeblood of the Transformers. The Cube here is a new concept made for this movie.
- This movie may be the only time we see the original Autobot team in a funny moment.
- The voice of Optimus Prime is by legendary Peter Cullens, who has also voiced the same character in G1 since 1984.
- In the G1 original series, Bumblebee can talk. Here in this movie, they made its era iteration of Bee by having him mute, lose his voice box in the line of duty. This idea was carried out sometime in the 20s.
What’s G1?

The trilogy is absolutely fantastic! ❤
The First time the helicopter transform into a Decepticon, blew my mind
Aw damn I'm at the part where the audio go muted so I'll take the time to type this out. You're right about them being able to turn into any piece of tech so long as its a reasonable size. In the original cartoons, the Decepticon Soundwave turned into a boombox/cassette player and he had these little transforming guys that helped him that turned into cassettes. The little metal dude in this movie turning into a boombox is a reference to Soundwave because he's named after one of Soundwave's cassettes, Frenzy :)
Awesome reaction. Thanks guys!
