How Optimus And Megatron Become Enemies in Transformers One Trailer Breakdown Easter Eggs 

I am actually scared to see how such a good friendship falls apart and starts a war. I am actually preparing emotional for this!

3:12 - WHAT. Literally the only things I remember from Animated are the short where the kids ask Optimus questions including where his trailer goes, and Jazz's sacrifice. That's it. I DID NOT REMEMBER THAT ELITA ONE BECOMES BLACKARACHNIA.

I'm wondering where Elita fits in all this. I mean Orion and D-16 are the focus of the movie and we do see them meeting Bumblebee (sorry, B-127 🙄 ) but Elita just seems to be... there.

I need a lot of tissue when it comes to they divorced moment

blame Steve.

Just please continue the live action Beast wars..

"Megatron, it's been 1500 years. You still owe me sixteen dollars" - Optimus Prime

I think it’s nice that D-16’s design is a homage to Meg’s original 80’s comic design

Thank goodness that it's been confirmed as a separate continuity because Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been going out of his way to insist that the reboot universe IS connected to the Bayverse, someone at Paramount needs to shut his mouth because it's quite irritating to say the least.

I actually theorized this happening in that D-16 blasting a hole through Sentinel's chest completes his transformation into Megatron.

Transformers: ONE already has several unrelated movies and other media that came before it that perfected the 'Brothers splitting' formula. If this movie resembles (weirdly enough), DreamWorks: the Prince of Egypt in plot structure, then it will be great, lol

Nice and interesting theory 👍 It would make sense that due to Sentinel's corrupted goverment led Megatron holding a grudge towards it. Optimus believes that peace is the only way but Megatron doubts it due to his experience with the previous goverment where "peace" was enslaving low-clsss people to work as he was one of them so they'll fight one another for their own ideology

I also noticed that after the T-Cogs got their Transform ability, Megatron or D-16 didn’t even showed up in the later trailer could be hiding he will turn.

"Are you optimus because you're a prime? Or are you a prime because you're optimus?" - Megatron at the end of the movie

Has anyone mentioned the idea that cybertron is techno organic here ? The ideas from beast machines are coming back to life as the reveal that cybertron is both organic and technological was a major twist then but it’s just shown here.

A part of me wants this to be the first movie in a trilogy. With this movie ending with them freeing cybertron from the quintessons. With the second movie dealing with injustice of the cast system and their falling out. Finally the third movie playing similarly to the Fall of Cybertron game with the planet near death.

I find it interesting that the trailer seems to be making it that Orion is the rebellious one while D16 is more hesitant to get out of line. My prediction is the first act will be Orion getting D16to somehow mess up the race (the jetpack scene) that leads to them being sent to waste management where they meet Bee and Elita. The second act will be them going to the surface and finding out that Cybertron's is secretly enslaved by the Quintessons, leading to them seeking out the 13 Primes, and instead getting their cogs from Alpha Trion after finding out the other 12 Primes are dead. Not sure where it goes after that but it's clear they somehow amass an army of Seekers to fight the government and eventually the Quintessons. Also not sure at what point Orion will get the Matrix. I personally think we won't see Megatron and Optimus fight each other in this film, perhaps the movie starts with them fighting and the rest of the movie is a long flashback? I also suspect we might not see the Autobot symbol at all until near the end of the film.

I think the best origin for Optimus and Megatron would combine elements from all previous origins. It's better if it's not one incident that splits them apart, but the culmination of smaller events and choices that have built up resentment over time. Then Megatron has to do something unjustified and unforgivable so we don't get people being like "Megatron was right, Optimus is wrong!" Like everyone's been saying recently about Magneto.

Im really excited to see how Optimus and Megatron's friendship will fall apart as Ive always wanted to see a show or film depict their falling out and really dive into it. I suspect this movie will be something like X-Men First Class were we see Magneto and Professor X's friendship grow and show why they were good friends but ultimately the different ideologies came to a breaking point. Im interested to see what Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tee Henry will do in the roles and what kind of dynamic they will have. I'm suspecting Sentinel Prime in this movie will be similar to how he was depicted in Transformers: Animated as a egotistical elitist who looked down on the lower class. I do wonder if Sentinel in this film has some kind of agreement with the Quintessons adding to the internal corruption of Cybertron fueling Megatron's hatred for the Elite guard and former government of Cybertron

My take on it: With the exception made of the Psychopathic Bayverse, in all other continuities Megs and Prime hold both the same ideal to restore Cybertron and the betterment of their species, and it is on that prime directive they found each other as friends, but it was in the means where they differed so much so their friendship could not survive the stress of this polarity, plus Megs had it quite a bit more rough than Prime, who had actually recognized all this, seeing in Megs a respected adversary instead of a hated enemy. Prime knows, by means of revelation from Vector Sigma, that he and Megs are components in the incarnation of two separate contingency plans that counter interact with each other in order to define the best way for survival of the cybertronian species, and that they are both necessary for a step of this process to be acomplished. Yet all this drama and effort the cybertronians go through is only one layer in the grand skeme of things, Since Primus himself and Unicron are also two parts of an adversary system that keeps the infinite cycle of universes going, with both existing simultaneously in all alternate versions of it. Only perpetual robust artificial robotic or cybernetic life could endure the burden of both, carring out the process and also be aware of the inescapable reasons why it is the only way.

Given that Sentinal Prime is voiced by Jon Hamm, he played an angel in Good Omens where he basically plays an uncaring bureaucrat, which makes me think that’s how he will act

The filmmakers recently said this film takes place 3 billion years before the new live action films

It's just tragic when a good guy falls from his ways for misunderstandings, I hope at some point in time as we saw in one of the cartoon series Megatron redeems himself again and joins with his old brother Optimus

I feel like this movie is definetly going to set people's minds on the origins of cybertron. This movie sure does promise a lot. It's kind of hard to get excited over movies like this after watching something like dominion since it promised so much yet it wasn't executed properly. Im just worried that this movie would meet the same fate. Nevertheless, i like what i've seen so far and i am optomistic about this movie.

Me preparing to cry during this movie: 😢

They are not just friends they are brothers once

I love this movie but TFP is still better 😅

Expert analysis! Looking forward to this movie 👍

i going state, probably what happens is d-16 probably going kill sentinel!

I wonder if it will be anything like IDW, where the Matrix is lost and when Orion and Megatron turn on eachother, Orion is attacked and left for dead by his former friend, where he discover's the Matrix, with the scene from the traile rbeing his triumphant return as Optimus Prime.

Comodin Cam is an expert at getting me out of what I'm doing to watch his videos xD

I think that d-16 will always have looked up to megatronus and have the emblem imprinted on his shoulder due to him bieng a big fan before he comes face to face with his corpse. After receiving the ability to transform he will take on his name to honor his legacy but will only become megatron at the very end of the film.

I think there will be some moments Optimus doesn't want to kill Megatron but after so many bots got destroyed he will be forced to do it just like in TFP Optimus had so many chances but didn't do it until Megatron went to far

This is such a good theory video! Makes me even more excited to see this movie!

I had a thought when thinking deeply about the Aligned continuity that could be integrated in the plot; Hear me out, one of Optimus famous line is "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" what if the quote was given to him by his friend Megatron. I mean Megatron praised to break down the caste system to make all cybertronians equal among each other. It could be quite a terrible twist to realize the words that Optimus preaches was the same message his old friend told him when they were still on good terms. Now, granted I had this thought come to me one day, and probably others thought the same thing. I wonder if they could possible work something like that to make the breaking of their friendship that much more tragic.

If this is right then this movie is gonna be amazing

I played the Fall of Cybertron game for hundreds of hours as a kid. Lowkey looking forward to this

Me and my fellow Aligned Continuity fans are eating so good right now Yea our continuity had more holes than swiss cheese, but it was successful enough to inspire a goddamn feature film.

Only thing I found confusing was Bumblebee. Wasn't he made during the war? Isn't he one of the last generation autobots?

This movie will never reach aligned Transformers exodus level story telling

I love d16 yellow eyes

awesome job about How Optimus Prime and Megatron's Friendship Gets Destroyed as the Retrospective from Transformers One 2024

Do you think that Transformers One might be similar to X-Men: First Class in a way? I mean, compare the trailers. With that in mind, and given Hasbro’s history of creating entirely new continuities… We might gain an equivalent to X-Men: Days of Future Past. And maybe techorganics(hybrids) based on those Kaiju-Jaeger hybrids(specifically the drones by Shao Industries) from Pacific Rim: Uprising. They sort of interest me.

I think the worker bots are born without T-cogs. Not removed. From their reactions It's their first time that they can transform. Only the higher class ones can transform.

Target audience: kids Audience: teens and men

Is this going to be a trilogy or is everything going to unfold in this singular movie? I thought it would be cool if it was like the star wars prequels where it starts with potentially revolting against the quentesons, have the next one be about potential decepticon backlash and have a small revolt or an entirely different faction, then have the final one be the war where Megatron and Optimus prime’s friendship fully shatters and the two are engaged in a fight to the death.

YO I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING, go to 8:15 ON THE VID AND LOOK AT THE TOP RIGHT,MEGATRON IS A FULL ON DECEPTICON, his eye color changed to red!

The scene where Optimus appears looks like he is going to stop Megatron from poisoning Cybertron 😮

Towards the end of your video where u mention the Transformers Prime show, I'm not sure the reason Orion Pax was "Chosen" to be the next Prime was all true. I recall that there was a book previously mentioned there was bad Decepticon discrimination and in the Prime show Megatron did have a Cause. Bots like Ratchet who had their own version of what drove the friendship apart...that he was just power hungry, jealous, and just a bad apple. Most shows after G1 would have Decepticons be ostracized and treated badly whereas Autobots live their lives like ignorant, privileged citizens. An example, like Netflix's War for Cybertron where this Ratchet opens up the Autobots' perceptions about the price of war came to. Their fight is destroying their Cybertronian race and planet. People aren't just born evil, life isn't Black & white/ Good vs. Evil. Meg didn't like create the problem, but a system or a result of a character who had enough with the ways thing were. Wants change for bots like him. Unfortunately, we know he'll go down the wrong path to do so. There were a few Autobots like Getaway, Sentinel Prime, and Nightra that turn out to be one of a few bad apples. I could be misremembering from Transformers Prime flashback ( Reason behind Meg turning Evil). But I hope that if Transforms One movie continues on with more movies. They would dive deeper into A vs. D problem instead of thousands of years still fighting, the dying planet is somehow around during the long war and Autobots or O.P fixing the problem that made the Decepticons wanting to go to War in the first place. and not just continuinf life las it was before then just teaching younger bots that D's r bad cons, can't trust them. The example I'm thinking of is kinda like how Transformers Cyberverse or Earthspark series did. Overall, I will always love Transformers. Can't wait for the Transformers One Movie.

In the scene with Megatron activating his cannon, you can see him with his red eye

"Blame him," I already do. I don't like or trust Sentinel he's probably the reason so many transformers can't actually transform or have real names !

I'm pretty God damned sure Bay got confused looking into the history of Sentinel Prime and thought he was Alpha Trion

i love the aligned version of the origin same with idw since is g 1 but it tells the same story

9:20 omg! D-16 has a fanboy tat of Megatronus!!!🤯😱🤩 I LOVE IT!!!

I just realised that Transformers One is based on Prince of Egypt Optimus Prime as Moses Megaton as Ramses

The trailer gives off the silly goofy feel but it’s just the first trailer and knowing they become enemies as part of the transformers cannon I’d say it’s safe to say we’ll see that flipped on its head I feel we’ve seen maybe the 1/3 act of the film before the climax leading to the start of the transformers we know

I can see D16 saying, "I am Megatron" or something similar at the end. The movie looks like Guardians of the Galaxy but with a Transformers skin.

Sentinel prime looks like deathsaurus with the wings on his back

blud is yappin, this is the first trailer and hes already saying how they finna hate eachother

Nice click bait, I mean speculation.🤔🤣🤣

Megatron" We were brothers once, Optimus Prime" Once.

Im not gonna lie sentinal got hit by karma hard in the games.

This is going to hurt so beautifully, I cant WAIT for it!!! BRING ON THE FEELS!!!

Where’s the update of trailer 2

Can’t wait for more content from this channel!!!

Vecon Steve is Back!!!!!

Tfp still has the best telling of the history of optimus and megatron's falling out and the following war

Not sure if anyone noticed yet, but 0:13 is a remake of a shot of megatron from the first episode of transformers: prime. This also ties in with your theory that a lot of this is inspired by the aligned continuity. Just a cool fact :D

So. So. So. What will be the continuity of the new reboot of transformers movies would be? Is it with already dead Sentinel Prime or nah?

2:53 sounds like Lebron

Orion pax... Any real transformers fan knows how megatron and prime became enemies. So sick of these ridiculous attempts rewriting history G1 had the transformers history written

Optimus will be named the new prime. This will cause a rift between him and Megatron. It will be like the graphic novel that followed war for Cybertron

I will be extremely disappointed if," you got the touch " isn't playing when Orion becomes Optimus or when he fights Megatron please let it play

Megatron wanted to rule with an iron fist. All bad guys are misunderstood. They just want peace and prosperity in their Empire.

When I see Sentinel prime almost looks like Mirage In the transformer one trailer

Yooo

5:03 wait... What's this? A game? Is that ironhide??

Calling it rn, it’s gonna be like X-men first class

For the original G1 storyline that seems kind of weak but has potential

If its not a prequel to bumblebee and rise of the beasts then its not a prequel to the bay movies as well

You predicted that, alright...

We see them in a movie and hopefully this October, the new game

Bruh you watched the same video i did this morning then 😂

Bad sentinel ,I hate him.He deserve a unlike

Looks more like Ledge Maximo than a quintson

How come megatron drops his deceptecon badge

so he's not a clerk like in tfp, he's a- miner?

It makes sense

0:12

I have a theory, when Orion and D16 defeat Sentinel, Sentinel wants to accept death, but Orion spared him knowing he and D16 are better than him, but D16 didn’t take it well as he kills Sentinel in an extremely excruciating manner because of his crimes, leading the two becoming from brothers to rivals, Orion Pax and D16 to Optimus Prime and Megatron

Just ruining the original story.

BECAME ENEMIES??? THEY WERE NEVER FRIENDS!!!!

8:23 another piece of evidence to support this is if you look closely megatron's eyes are actually red

I like how megatron's first thought for a team was a psychopathic a beat-boxer and an egotist

That looks like Megatron from beast wars the menacing face with red eyes

i love that clip form animated where sentinel screamed like a little wimp and it makes sense with the one of the quints grabbed sentinel

8:17 i believe your right because his eyes are red there and when he was d-16 it was orange

I really wanna see Optimus vs megatron😭😭

Thanks you Sentinel Prime

9:16 i kinda think he been had that the entire time
