Transformers prime had the most unique ending to a TF series Cybertron actually getting revived, megatron giving up his conquest after experiencing the peak of oppression unicron actually getting beaten in the most effective way to beat an immortal being not to mention it went deeper on the lore compared to other TF series. Also it was quite brutal for a kid's show They got away with adding "gore" since they're robots lol
I always saw Transformers Prime as a better written version of the Bay films, and this is coming from someone who likes the movies (except the Last Knight, hated that film)
What would be absolutely awesome is if the movie that comes out after transformers one in that timeline is some kind of mixture story of the wfc and foc games that could possibly lead in to another movie with transformers prime elements. Just a thought
TFP Arcee is not only the best written character in the show, but is in fact the best written character in the entire franchise. She's absolutely incredible. There's so much development and depth packed into such a small package
5:04 yep, I do not like bumblebee and rotb movies. those live action was not fit at all. just keep it animated like prime version and Transformer one (it is okay im not spoiling) was LIT live action? duh just rewatch bayversion from 1, rotf and dotm. forget about aoe and tlk (although the robot design was cool but those drama humans are trash to the pit)
Transformers Prime just had perfect designs for the transformers themselves imo. Like how can you look at Soundwave or Shockwave and say "Nah, these designs are mid" They turned Soundwave, the recon like decepticon, into a STEALTH DRONE! I mean of course a boombox would make no sense anymore, but who could have predicted stealth drone over something like a Northrop?
Anyone else have a crush on Arcee while watching this show as a kid? No? Just me? Anyway, Arcee was a badass in TFP. The human characters were great, Shockwave was great, Megaton was great. Everything about this series was amazing. It's my go-to Transformer show to rewatch besides Transformers Animated. My only complaint is I found the relic hunt in S2 to be repetitive. I also wish the show had more seasons
I was literally so obessed with transformers as a littke kid TFP was SUCH a cherry ontop 😫 i rewatched it in Middle School and I was so soso in love I kepted up with all the shows and went as far as to watch the animes and stuff and go crazy over the more than meets the eyes comics UGH so great
It was literally peak Transformers! From animation style, to audio from voice actors, effects and music. To camera angles and usage that where genius, to amazing story and characters 😮 It really, had it all!😎
8:03 ik this is a HOT take but i think my favorite cybertron backstory that ik is in the Netflix trilogy, i think it makes the most sense, cuz like i knew the decipticons weren’t always evil and i would always wonder why they did, turn it into a class war and i think that’s super fucking cool, it’s why I also love the political drama side of clone wars, it delves deeper into the motivations of the cis
I love prime! Was such a good series. I really do wish that they had added a few new bots other than smokescreen and ultra Magnus, would have really loved if jazz or like red alert made an appearance. Jazz being the og second in command and red alert never really being a bot that gets a spotlight and could have been a cool in between worrier/medic
My nephew begged me to watch the show when it came out and I didn’t like how it was animated, I was 12 years old, so I thought that was a little too childish for me. I only was used to the movies. I hate that I didn’t watch it with him. I also didn’t play the war for Cybertron games for some reason, but transformers is my favorite franchise of all time. I hate myself.
No mention of Soundwave, Wheeljack, and Arachnid??? Those were my most likable character in the series... In terms of the Diversity they provided... 1). Soundwave being the absolute loyal and steadfast follower of Megatron... He would NEVER leave his side, no matter what... Also his ability to conjure space bridges at will, his "petcon" Lazerbeak, brings a sort of diversity and possibility of other Transformers having such abilities and relationships with minor lifeforms of Cybertron... It makes sense as not all beings on Cybertron would have been huge hulking Bots... They should have been smaller and more diversified lifeforms as well... Also his ability to detect and manipulate all Sonic frequencies, could be a sign of other Transformers having control over other physical forces, such as the Light Spectrum, or Radio waves, or Kinetic energy etc. 2). Arachnid representing the Difference in terms of sub-species in Transformers (kinda like South African male and a Siberian Male Human) Her complete control over a seemingly independent form of life i.e. Insecticons, also showed promise for any future additions to the series... Maybe other Transformers could control all the Worker/Guard bots, or the Predacons, or maybe some other form of life such as the Scraplets, or some Worm like lifeforms, etc. 3). Wheeljack representing the diversification in terms of Military and Strategic Units... He was part of the Wreckers, but maybe there were other special Units formed by both Autobots & Decepticons, which never came to light... Maybe some research Units were sent out by Deceptions which found something unique... Or some Special Ops units who got wiped out by something and only a sole survivor was left... There were soooooo many areas which could have been expanded by Hasbro, if only they kept the show alive... The story was concluded too fast in my opinion... And although the ending itself was quite a good one, it could have been postponed much much further to experiment and incorporate all these ideas... I hope I didn't ramble too much, I just wanted to show my humble fanboy opinion on a video, which clearly also loves Transformers for what it is, and hopes for its best parts to come out in the future...

5:50 Ah yes, Cliffjumper, the character with less deaths than Wheeljack and has only two prominent deaths outside of comics; yet everyone says dies all the time. I know he has more deaths outside of Prime and the Bumblebee movie, but those are the only things I ever hear people that make this joke mention. He f***ing fought and killed Deathsaurus once, sure he got damaged doing so, but he didn’t die. Yes Cliffjumper’s been my favorite character since I was little, how’d you know.
NGL for me the only good silas ep was the episode with nemesis prime he was tricking the autobots and defeated almost all the prime team and was even beating optimus until he had to fight agent fouler and had to leave nemesis controls that was personaly the pnly good episode with him in it and personaly he should of been put into nemisises body nd then megatron would have to deal with a optimus lookalike in his ship
My only gripe with the show is that slow motion sound effect they constantly played whenever someone got hit. Hearing it multiple times in a single fight got a little annoying
AS A 45 YEAR OLD G1 FAN, TRANSFORMERS PRIME REVITALIZED MY ADORATION FOR THE SERIES. THE BUMBLE BEE, THE NETFLIX SERIES, AND COMBINER WARS WERE OK, BUT THIS TF ONE MOVIE... WAS BANANAS. IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. I HAD TO SEE IT AGAIN AFTER THE PRE SCREENING. THIS SERIES IS BACK, THANKS TO THE LOVE FROM THE FAN BASE!!!
God damnit! Why the hell have we spent over a decade NOT making more Transformers stuff Like TFP and the Cybertron games? Or just ... I don't know, ... uncancel TFP?!?! And I'm not talking about the crap-fest continuation that came after and we shall not name. That doesn't count! A( ・`д・´)
