Every Transformers Generation Explained (ft. Matt Hullum) | WIRED 

Is anyone going to talk about how Matt didn’t even mention Robots in Disguise 2015 but he talked about Transformers GO? I find that hilarious

I've been following Rooster Teeth for like 10 years. Had no idea Matt knew this much about Transformers

Matt Hullum? Wasn't expecting this. Nice.

It was crazy how much the thumbnail looked like Matt Hullum.. Then it actually was Matt Hullum... Holy plot twist.

When I saw Beast Wars Megatron, I instinctively did a deep-voiced "Yes"

Wish there was a bit more on Transformers Animated. My favorite incarnation of Optimus Prime. In every other incarnation he's already the perfect leader. In this one we see the growth of a leader.

As a RT fan, it was weird to see him in the thumbnail for some reason😂

Transformers Prime is the best modern iteration cartoon transformers. I remember watching the show Saturday mornings

I grew up watching the live-action Michael Bay films. My Fandom paid off when I got to meet Peter Cullen and got him to sign my Armor Knight Optimus Prime.

"There's a civil war that's been referred to many times throughout the transformer saga and "Siege" actually takes place on the last day of the civil war. And so it's something that *fans have never gotten to see,* a period of time that's pivotal in the Transformers legacy and story that finally has been put on screen." Um...does anyone else remember the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron games? Pretty sure those games did that too.

Anyone else remember the time optimus prime killed himself because he cheated in a video game?

Transformers Fall Of Cybertron on PS3 is still amazing

The first Transformers movie(2007) was literally my childhood. I really loved that movie and I still do.

Mat Hullum talking about the best era and Unicron trilogy (Armada, Energon and Cybertron) is litterly my childhood and Teenhood dream come true.

Why is there no mention of the Transformers comic books, or their writers? Bob Budiansky wrote the filecard descriptions for most of the G1 characters (including giving a lot of them their names), and Simon Furman created the backstory for Unicron and Cybertron, including inventing Primus, the Transformers creator. They contributed more than the cartoon writers did, and their influence on the lore continues to this day.

What I like the most about Transformers is that they just arent stopping They have pretty much said everything and yet people are still writing stories about giant transforming robots fighting their war trough out the galaxy

Transformers: Prime was a masterpiece. I still can't believe that Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci had anything to do with it.

Man, I remember getting the entire *Armada* Trilogy on DVD, I watched it over and over countless times, then went on to *Cybertron* (I didn't really count *Energon* as part of the whole thing even though it was)

Transformers was the first thing I was ever into. I loved G1, Transformers animated, the movies, the Cybertron games and the toys of course.

Matt Hullum!? Holy crap didn’t expect this

Optimus Prime wore a mask...

5:04 mentions that "the headmasters supplanted the rebirth" without explaining what any of that means, procedes to read headmasters wiki article aloud

20:00 Yep! Interestingly Bayformers introduced me Transformers continuity of G1 and Aligned. Very nostalgic...

Transformers, more than meets the eye. Don't know why but when I was younger, I kept singing that lyric as "more that beats the eye"

MATT HULLUM? I am very pleasantly surprise

Transformers GO actually sounds and looks like a fun series. Also as a 90s kid i remember having a Toy Purple T-Rex Megatron Beast wars toy. Takes me back. Beast wars was awesome.

Apparently Bumble Bee is actually a reboot (thank god)

Bruv, he reading it like a college student presenting his group assignment 🤣🤣🤣

Dammit im 45 and still get bent all out of shape watching the movie. Can't believe they killed Optimus

I actually started watching transformer ARMADA on cartoon network.. with minicons that was amazing..

12:22 "They're over. You lost" that's meme quality 😂😂😂

Seeing the 1984 - 1987 Transformers reminds me of my childhood, Im only 18 almost 19, my stepdad got me this mini dvd-player for on holidays. I would sit in the back of the car watching the entire show, rewatching it I think over 15 times over a couple years. Transformers will always be a part of my childhood and I cannot express the love I feel for the entire franchise/story.

Transformers Animated was my whole childhood and he just brushed it off as "they were like heroes" 😭

2:12 you can’t just play that clip without talking about it first bro!! This made me cry😢. Transformers is my childhood

Missed: -Zone -Battlestars -Beast Wars Neo -Transformers GoBots -Robot Masters -Universe

I'v always felt like Metroplex and Jetfire deserve a lot more time in the spotlight since the G1 era.

ummmm i thought this was RT i was so confused when i clicked

Unicron is sooo cool! The ultimate super mega mecha villain!

13:21 IT WAS RETCONNED AS A REBOOT, CAR ROBOTS WAS INTENDED TO BE A CONTINUATION OF G1, WHICH IT WAS IN JAPAN, BUT WAS HASTILY MADE INTO A REBOOT WHEN IT WAS DUBBED INTO ENGLISH now called Robots in Disguise

Wish there was more mention of the comics. So many epic stories in the various comic series.

19:39 correction, it a reboot

I kind of wished you talked about some of the more important comics like the More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light series?? I think they’re some of the best comics ever made.

Several things mentioned are incorrect...

Haha. He called Bumblebee a Prequel to the Michael Bay movies. Funny.

Hey man really cool vid brings back so many memories and still love it. You did excellent thank u for your time and effort putting this together

Hey Matt, I just watched the war for cybertron on Netflix and I love it. It’s the best transformers I’ve seen to date. Thank you for creating this pice of art

Since I was born in the 90s it's great to see beast wars come back.

the WFC trilogy was the best game and show series ever, I wish there was more added to it other than RID.

Loved beast wars for all the reasons stated and more, just finished watching siege and it reminded me a little of beast wars with the story telling and serious elements.

22:00 You know TFA is a neglected cartoon when they don't even gets its years right.

You guys have done a magnificient job with the franchise. Bravo. Looking forward to more.

I love how they show just an image of the Video games War for Cybertron, and then Matt says, you've never seen the final day. Psh

Man I was really hoping sarge would go more into tfoc 😔 but very cool to see him

The Transformers media I grew up with is The Live Action,Prime,Animated and Cybertron.

23:25 Very sad that we won’t be getting games like this anymore ;(

I wonder why he didn't mention any of the 2015 RID version (sequel of TF prime). Cause technically that is part of the transformers universe series. Albeit not a particular favorite of mine but a little sad he didn't mention it.

I'm such a huge fan of transformers.

Thank god someone who really loves the franchise working on it.

Its cool to see Matt Hullum talk about Transformers. I didn’t know he was a TF fan. I would like to see Sarge meet Optimus Prime, or Kup, or Ironhide. Also, Bumblebee is officially a reboot and is not connected to the other movies. And the Michael Bay movies are not beloved by everyone as as lot of people loath the Bay films. But I’m not gonna lie that the movies does have good spectacle and CGI that are all breathtaking.

Keep in mind that this is one of the cats who made Red vs Blue.

Great humor the bay films, Jesus im getting flashbacks *ENEMY SCRPTUMS*

This was great! Thank you.

You missed Beastwars Neo and RID 2015 in the line up but was really pleased you included Transformers GO thanks

After watching that By Its Cover episode with the animation people, it's nice to see that someone at RT knows what they're talking about in terms of transformers.

1984 to present (Sort of) Primax (G1, Beast Era, Car Robot, Prime Wars Trilogy and War for Cybertron Trilogy) 2002 to 2005 Aurex (The Unicron Trilogy) 2007 to 2010 Malgus (animated) 2010 to 2020 Uniend (Aligned) 2018 to present Cyberverse (cyberverse and Nezha) 35 years of Transformers Cartoons.

This was an astoundingly well presented video.

He didn’t really mention victory. And I think victory deserves a lot of credit. It’s fuckin amazing.

Good video but im kinda sad that there were no mentions of the comics. Like where is IDW?

Thank you for this video!

everytime that I see any red trucks out on the road outside I'll think of leader Optimus Prime and will feel like yelling light our darkest hours.

Original Transformers toy figures were and are still awesome.im a big fan of Megatron he never gave up.

Man, I was like 6 when I saw the Transformers animated movie and I cried for days after Prime died and nearly did again in the motion picture (part 2). :-(

pls balance out your audio. levels are all over the place. Got a shock when your spoken intro suddenly changed to bumblebee. lol. dont get me wrong, not hating, just slightly inconvenienced.

I learned quite a bit, appreciate you putting this together! Also, I went to see Transformers The Movie in 1986 with my Dad and I must say I REALLY enjoyed it and had the same thoughts you did about it being the "greatest thing in the history of time"! 👍👍

Thanks for this video, I had no idea there was so much transformers after gen 1

Great an Image of Sarge explaining Transformers Is now Embeded in My Mind

New drinking game. Everytime there is a -ron in transformers take a drink

So you use Super-God Masterforce Optimus Prime for Headmasters, great job there

Masterforce and Victory are my favorite generations. The Japanese had the best idea of mixing more humans with robots. I'd really love to see a live adaptation of these versions. Hopefully sometime soon.

Wait... I know this guy! Congratulations to the RT studios developing this, And it's on Netflix!

The unicorn trilogy was my generation.

That thumbnail brings back so many childhood memories!

Transformers was a big part of my childhood, im looking forward to the new series, it looks cool

The thing that gets me is beast wars takes place centuries into the future. I remember transformers taking place on earth via the movie. So if time runs forward then at some point in the transformers universe Earth had advanced humans prior to the beast wars (dinosaurs present). So Transformers takes place millions of years in OUR past. Edit: My queston was answered 10 seconds after posting my theroy. At least I got it half right!

19:34 Not a prequel, it was confirmed a reboot

What a coincidence, about a week ago I got a random G1 transformers explanation video on my homepage recommendations and have been watching a lot of transformers videos lately.... Then this, what a coincidence.

The Bay movies are the "pinnacle of Hollywood film making" quote made me throw up in my mouth.

G1 continuity family & the unicron trilogy are the best since in 1984 to 2005

I'm excited I'll have to check out the new series

35 minutes of Matt Hullum talking about transformers?! I’m in!

I feel like G1 and stories that expand on that are my favorite. I appreciate the effect of a change in leadership Sentinal to Optimus, to Rodimus and I don't know who the beast era leader of all Maximals was but we get Optimus Primal as a leader of a small team. I like how the evolution of the Pretender tech evolves them to their beast forms. And I love the fact that there are so many characters to tell stories about. My second favorite was probably Transformers Animated because of its homage to everything that had come before it. I think my least favorite are the movies and their contributions to the mythos. The physical Allspark, Unicron being Earth, Bumblebee not being able to talk... I like The Original 13 but not that they are Primes nor that Optimus is related to them. In my opinion Prime is the title of a Cybertronian leader during his era, Not a status to add to the Original 13 cybertronians. They are their own legend. I end my mini rant but I'll point out there was no mention of RID 2015

Wait. Matt Hullum is the EP for the new Netflix trilogy? How am I just learning that! Makes me that much more excited.

I suppose it makes sense sarge is telling us about a civil war

Thanks Man!!

God I hope Ironhide sounds like Sarge.....

What's Will Wheaten doing here?!

I think the success of Beast War is it has a actual story line that lured the audience for more

It’s pretty simple really. There’s Transformers G1, the original and the standard by which all will forever be judged. There’s Transformers Prime, the only thing ever done that stands up to G1. Then there’s everything else. Oh, Michael Bay says he did something with Transformers a few times, but I have yet to see a Transformers movie Bay has done. He made some robot movies, but not Transformers movies.

You forgot "Robots in Disguise" (2017).

I was sad to see Transformers Cybertron only get a passing mention as it was the one I grew up with and added a lot of interesting characters and expanding things like the cyber planet keys and adding beast planet and the giant planet which melded all the previous incarnations or transformers into one story.
