I can see why his first words after being frozen for so long was I'AM MEGATRON! because he could hear the humans calling him NBE-1 for so long he got sick of it😂😂
Big time. The studios went on the cheap for the entire MCU. Transformers CGI has hardly aged at all. The mix of real world and CGI in TF is still unmatched except possibly for Alita BA that is a completely different setup.
Megatron was absolutely perfect in the first movie. His design was intimidating and badass, his vehicle mode was original and made sense, and the voice of Hugo Weaving is just incredible.
The sad thing is, Hugo literally just phoned in his lines. He started a phone call from his house and just read off of the script. He just did the voice to collect the pay check
"You fail me yet again Starscream." I loved that they kept Megaton's constant disappointment in Starscream. It was just a quick line but as a Gen 1 watcher from the 80's it made me happy.
Yup that and the action scenes are so good and the music, they should've had less human scenes maybe but I mean its sam witwicky so atleast it's good human scenes lol
I'm sure there probably wasn't much thought put into it, but I like to think that Megatron was fully conscious the entire time and was driven into a maddened rage by the humans constantly calling him NBE-01.
I really love the Decepticons response to one another. The Cybertrontian-language subtitle then its translation. Also, each had a unique range and tone, both cryptic and legendary.
Ya... it was cool... But they only did that in the 1st film... But, that's probably enough because it was just decpticons talking among themselves and it would get tiresome if they did it the whole movie.
I also say the 1st film has the best soundtrack. The 1st film of a planned series is typically the best but the following 2 got better and I think that's why 1-3 are favorites here on youtube. Now... years later Some people complain there are too many... but no one is forcing them to watch... they should just shut the fuck up....
@@RAZR_Channel yeah, it's amazing. I really wish that they have the Autobots use it one time, but with a different tone and manner. While the Decepticons are cryptic-like sound, the Autobots would probably be more... I don't know, maybe sacred like or something else better in definition. But, I'm glad to hear someone's opinion, pal. 😘😉😉😉😍😊😊 Anyways, I didn't expect from people that some actually like Transformers 1-3, I'm also certain not many people like it. I always thought people hate the overall franchise because either it's not what they wanted or it's so unlike the G1 series, and they wanted it to be that way. Sorry and sad to say, not only I love the first Trilogy, but I also like Transformers 4-5 (my opinion) as well. To any haters who dislike and that could be you as well, I respect your opinion. The movies may not be the best but at least it's something enjoyable and worthwhile to watch. Again, it's my opinion. 😊😊😇😇❤❤❤😘😉😍😘😉😍
What you've described is a major component in the believability of any foreign species in filmmaking, alien or otherwise. Why would aliens speak English to themselves? Even if they know it, its definitely not their native tongue. Modern filmmakers are too lazy to go through the stress if creating language structures as was done in star wars and LOTR
@@Chosimba_ng yeah people complain about it but why the hell would the decepticons speak the side language of a disgusting species that theyre trying to destroy?
Honestly, a lot of credit has to go to Michael Bay himself. The VFX teams are absolutely brilliant but the man clearly has an ability to put on the "CGI" goggles to see just how things will look in a real environment for a scene and what information he needs to capture for the artists to do their magic.
@@magikal_oz9872 I personally prefer Knight for story wise. But as for character designs the crown goes to Michael Bay. The character design in this movie is so terrifying and original than the G1.
Megatron - Where is the cube. Starscream- The humans have taken it. Megatron- You fail me yet again Starscream. Starscream - Well at least I wasn't dumb enough to get frozen and slept for the last 10,000 years you lazy SOB. 😆
@Jonathan Gaither - Would have , could have, but he never did crap. Regardless starscream and the others kepted doing their job while there brave leader slept. Ugh pathetic. Lol
@@Toppshotta4 I always assumed the change was because Starscream is meant to be the classic sleazy scumbag looking to take command by backstabbing and scheming rather than fighting head on because he'd get absolutely demolished, so they changed it because this voice doesn't fit that kind of character
Megatron’s hatred for humanity makes much more sense when you think about how he was trapped, dissasembled, and studied for 100 years, with the humans ignorant to his true power and not even referring to him by his true name.
You could say bee has his priorities straighten out. While he could get voice back. He would rather get it to safety as megatron was in quite close proximity of it.
I thought that was what happened to be honest. When Bee shrunk the cube, notice there was a spark that connected him to it. I always thought that was why his voice got fixed at the end when he asked Optimus to remain with Sam. Maybe his voice box was slowly repairing the whole time he prioritized to protect the cube and get it to safety? I don't know. I just find it odd why his voice box just remained broken after it was confirmed fixed in this movie's ending.
hellowhat890 there were a series of comics that were released after this that WERE!!!! Canon at first, one showed how bumblebee arrived on earth a few weeks before the start of the movie (as opposed to what 5 showed us) and another showed how Starscream was taken prisoner by humans, bumblebee freed him, and as thanks starscream shot a missile at his face 🤷🏽♂️
Maybe in films, but there's a better one in Tf Prime, s1 ep14 - Bumblebee is possessed by Megatron and he fights him mentally, while Ratchet and Raff try to stop him from reaching Megatron's body and reviving him, but he succeeds, his eyes go red from black and says: "Decepticons, your rightful Lord and master has returned!", then he leaves Bee and Ratchet for vehicons to kill and goes to beat the crap out of Starscream for the betrayal.
kinda weird how megatron woke up from centuries of slumber yet was immediately able to rocket through a tunnel barely wider than his wingspan while doing barrel rolls.
3:56 love that you can’t hear fear in Star-screams voice, he just sounds so badass and menacing! Makes him feel like a more levelheaded second in command.
Ya... it was just last week i notice how good the Sound Track is... It really completes the scene when Bee is touches the All-Spark and it transforms. I should have done a better sound editing job...
The worst things this franchise has ever done 1-changing starscream's voice and character Into one of a weasel 2-killing ironhide 3-more plastic love interest females 4-the 5th movie
The Last Knight was much better than Age of extinction. The plot and action was coherent and at least made some sense. It is not possible to remember what happened the last 40 minutes of AOE except the last 5 minutes. Also they got rid of terrible characters like Tessa and Shane...
@@believer4002 The last knight was worse for me because they made the same mistakes yet again for the 3rd time when it comes to the love interest female characters and the 5th time overall with the screen time of important characters, I couldn't even finish it, they only replaced that blonde bitch whit yet another stereotype megan fox plastic look alike bitch like in the 3rd movie, like Wtf we are in a transformers movie not some modeling megan fox look a like reality TV show (MB has some serious issues) Also the antagonist was lame as fuck and they wasted nemesis Prime with little screen time they always give to way much screen time for unnecessary useless human characters compared to the transformers the fucking franchise is called transformers not humanbeings
Teach D.Berainman I agree with you on some parts, the transformers should have gotten more screen time, at least AOE did that right (although that lasted too long). The new female character was obviously light dressed like every female character in Bay’s movies, but at least I find her to have something important to do and she did a good job. Rosie in Dotm and Tessa in AOE was way worse. I found Quintessa interesting since they stated that she was the creators of the transformers and Optimus Prime (the knights said she was a deciever so it’s not certain she was). Her motivations was very cliche-like, to destroy the world and crush Cybertron on it, use the main protagonist against them. But she could be developed more. I’m just glad they didn’t totally dump Optimus storyline from AOE. Also Nemesis Prime should have done more damage. Obviously they still want the transformers movie to be fun light-hearted stuff but they had so much they could do. And lastly I think Last Knight had more interesting human characters than AOE. Anthony Hopkins does a fun job, and he deliveres speeches about transformers history that only he can. I felt engaged when they followed him in his castle and through London. Also the young girl also did a good job, but I wish we could follow her more in the middle section. I feel many people was tired of Cade Yeager. The CGI and visual effects is visually stunning and top notch despite what anyone says. I also think the set pieces was more creative and better like the first movies. The final battle on the big submarine was good. In AOE they just destroyed the whole Hong Kong with robots exploding and shooting and it felt rushed. Anyway the movie got bashed by the critics as usual, and this was the worst movie of the franchise considering the box office numbers. But I still think this movie had the best potential, and although I reckon it’s flaws I still enjoy it in a good home theathre.
@@believer4002 All the transformers movies except for the 1st one were lacking big time What made me furious about LK is that Its the 4th time I had to sit through MB sexual fantasies BS🤣 He putting and forcing that shit in the whole movie instead focusing on the right things, like for example DINO MIRAGE one of the most badass cool Autobots ever do you know how much screen time he has in action transformed? 40 fucking seconds not minutes seconds , that's it, in the whole franchise 40 seconds , oh wow MB: he could've have more but nooooo it's MF And MF look a like close up booty shot bring on the Vaseline, and make it 15 minutes🤣🤣
Number one should be how Megatron became so weak after tf1. Although I agree with this. The movies' lore was ruined for me when they introduced that seed thing
Ah the good days (2000s) when fictional aliens were made as alieny aliens. I mean look at them: alien languages, aliens being smart enough to hack stuff, aliens having high-tech, aliens having long range weapons and not stormtrooper aim to render their long range weapons harmless, aliens with "invisible force fields", aliens having brain-scanning tech like in ROTF, aliens having spaceships, aliens could teleport, aliens being smart enough to have disguises and sneak attacks, aliens actually being feared by humans, aliens actually being hard to kill and most of all aliens actually being smart enough to pose threats. Nowadays most alien antagonists, even the technologically advanced ones, are made to look thick so as to give the good guys advantages over them.
Ya... the pressure is always on with the 1st of a planned series of films. They knew Bay would deliver... and he certainly did as he had a passion for this series in particular. But, when he was ready to move on the studios were not... So it all went to shit after that. It is rumored that Bay purposely make the films after T3 shitty or just didn't care..... Personally I really liked Age of extinction... We got to see the dynobots and the buildup to Lockdown was well written... he was a Really Good Villain (as others have pointed out)...
I always thought this was the best change the Bay movies made (particularly the first one). In other TF media, the Cybertronians' alien nature isn't usually emphasized very heavily. 2007 TF made them feel like a serious and unknowable threat. I hate that aliens always speak English in Hollywood movies, it's the most annoying thing about the MCU and other similar superhero franchises. In TF 2007 not only was a reason given for them learning English (basically downloading the entire Internet into their brains), but they also had their own alien language. It added so much believability to their otherworldly nature. Also, like you said, the way their technology was depicted as being so far beyond our own gave me chills as a kid. The scene of Blackout attacking the military base is legitimately terrifying!
I swear man megatron and starscream are the most badass flyers, flying through cramped spaces and curves, transform in mid air grabbing bridges to do a backflip landing just beautiful
People can be haters for the Bayformers all they want. Give it 30 years these movies will be as big as Godzilla or King Kong in their early debuts. Hugo Weaving did a great voice for Megatron.
It's already bigger then Godzilla and the Godzilla did are trash LMFAO only the desperately low life fanboys being conplete rtds thinking a regular movie person going to watch non sense with no plot to follow while this movie and king kong obviously had that you can revisit
it was so stupid, open access, that dude just flew out of there. no backup generators and fail safe system in place, pure incompetence but who cares when it was destroyed with a bang
I still remember when the allspark was used to recreate broken parts of a transformer, now they just scan a vehicle and they suddenly have new upgrades.
Bumblebee movie doesn’t feel the same, it lost its merit after 2011. It’s all pragmatic and stale, the bumblebee movie isn’t bad, but I loath that it’s appealing to a more your demographic in dichotomy with both old and young.
Would be nice if later in the future films, while they are trying to survive and take refuge, the Autobots can speak in cybertronian-language. A bittersweet moment. ❤❤❤❤🔥
Say what you will about movies like transformers. But, I remember how entertained packed crowds were to this film. We saw it on opening night, and the audience clapped when megatron made his introduction.
I remember being a kid (around 5 or so) when I first saw this scene with megatron and being scared shitless of him breaking free. I would sometimes hide under my blanket 😂
Bayformers had so much potential and this movie really set up the future installations to be incredible. So sad to see the rest of the movies fall flat.
Definitely... since that year there has been Constant World Crisis of all sorts... a new one every day the world is Constant Crisis... As of now.... 2021 the word "Crisis" has been a constant in every major news broadcast for over 20 years... And for the last 18 months ... the word "Surge" is in Every NBC broadcast at least twice ( usually more )...
Sentinel Prime is Unicron the same guy that he wants to rebuild Cybertron but he wants to destroy Primus as well he's a god I don't think Megatron can defeat Unicron and and neither is Sentinel Prime that are the same guy the only one who can defeat Sentinel Prime that is Unicron is Optimus Prime that's it.
i like that the bayverse kept the creepy rapsy voice for screamer for the sake of originality but in my personal opinion his voice in this movie is a perfect blend of creepy/intimidating
Two of my favourite quotes in Bay verse transformers “I. Am. MEGATRON!” And the one which always makes me laugh a bit “You fail me yet again Starscream”
Someone else made a point of his 1st line in that for centuries he was frozen but could hear humans calling him NBE-1 ... so he had to correct that shit straight away..
The last time Megatron was truly threatening, intimidating all for himself and not a lackey of someone else (the fallen, sentinel prime, quintessa, etc)
@A E yeah but that was like her only shot... I think they used it in the trailer as well because it's a pretty hot shot. Actually she looked really good in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She 1st appears as a blond... I didn't recognize her and I was like "Damn who's the new stuff? ". Then the whole school girl thing topped it off. I think that was Bay's way of making it up to her after she got fired unfairly. She had made some comments about Bay that Bay didn't give a shit about (obvious now) but the producer had a problem it so he had her fired.
I always feel sorry for Hugo Weaving in Transformers movies. His performance as Megatron is underrated. I believe he fitted movie Megatron better than Frank Welker did. Welker is the perfect animated Megatron.
Even if this film is regarded as a bad film overall by general consensus, it was one of my favourites of the time in terms of soundtrack, CGI, and battles. It was a real gem to my childhood self.
@@Thrawn23. Generally the Bay Transformers movies are not well received by critics (look at rotten tomatoes scores as an example), that is what I meant.Point is, I still enjoyed them, this scene I have seen many times and loved this movie when I was a kid.
