When Lockdown killed Ratchet and KSI melted him down, I wanted everyone involved in this robo hunt to burn honestly, I was with Optimus when it came to his aggression because Ratchet didn't deserve something like that

Oh boy! Jen has every right to be cautious about this movie! But I’ll say this, Lockdown is one of the best villains Transformers has ever produced!

I love how the other villains of Transformers are motivated to destroy the world or rule the universe but Lockdown on the other hand, his motivation is to just capture Prime and leave earth

The mixture of pain and rage that Optimus had when he said 'They slaughtered Ratchet!?' was so palpable, it tugged at my emotions pretty strong! :(

When optimus wake up from his stase he says something like "no run sam". Its hard to hear but this show that Sam sacrificed himself for optimus when they were chased by cementary wind

Fun fact: the reason why we only see lockdown hunting ratchet is because ratchet is the only one who can fix any autobots like how he fix bumblebee legs and Optimus arm . And for that lockdown target him first so he can fix no more autobot especially Optimus.

I’m so perplexed by how many poor decisions were made in this movie like “Oh hey let’s include an entire subplot about how she’s too young and how he keeps a laminated form in his wallet about how he’s legally protected”

I'm crying when you said "Hong Kong, more like Hong Gone" and the look she gave was absolutely perfect. Loved the joke.

Jen's reaction to Ratchet death was the SAME as mine! Love how she cares about these characters!

To clear things up or give more context for Jen. Galvatron has 9 outta 10 times been the name and form given to an upgraded Megatron from the lore. That’s where the name comes from. The TRex character is called Grimlock and in the lore, he is one of the few that takes issue with Optimus’s authority over him. Very aggressive and believes strongest should lead, and he is arguably stronger than Optimus. That’s why they have that small fight. The big green fat boy is called Hound. The green corvette character is Crosshairs, an expert gunner. And the blue Bugatti is Drift, a former decepticon who won’t take up firearms again, that’s why he uses swords and favors the nobility of samurai. Hope this info helps or at least seems interesting. Any further questions, I’ll gladly answer for yal

According to something I read on Screenrant, "put simply, Shia LaBeouf didn't return in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction because he felt Sam's story was over with the completion of the initial trilogy." So that's their story. Another possibility is money. The Transformers at the end are the Dinobots and they are Legendary. Watch the original cartoons for more Dinobot action.

Jen in every marvel movie when stan lee shows up: "ooooooh, ITS STAN LEEEEEE" Jen in every transformers movie whenever bumblebee shows up: "ooooooh, ITS BUMBLE BEEEE"

This movie to me has great visuals. Fun fact: sam and most of the other human characters from previous films are dead the human villains in this movie killed them because they were with the autobots in fact when Cade brings prime back online you can hear prime say SAM RUN!!

20:27 Jen is right to be scared. Lockdown's theme is intimidating as hell. It really makes the abduction scene somehow REALLY intense.

This is literally my biggest Guilty Pleasure movie, I can watch it anyday. Especially because of Lockdown, he's just sooooo good.

Lockdown was a villain created in Transformers The Animated series from 2007. A really great Transformers show and Lockdown was one of their best villains with some of the darkest stories behind him. He would hunt down different cybertronians (transformers) and strip them of parts to upgrade himself. He had this huge hook hand that was real cool

This is probably my second or third favourite of the series. 1) I find Mark more funnier and tolerable as a lead than Shia who I just find very annoying most of the time. 2) Optimus is the main focused Transformer here this time around and he's a total badass. 3) Lockdown is hands down the best Villain in the franchise they've had followed by Sentiel Prime from the last film. 4) The other Transformers like Hound, Crosshairs and Drift are recognizable and have their moments to shine and don't feel underutilized like all the others in the series so far. They're distinct and have personalities. 5) Dinobots. Short screentime yes, but god if they're not awesome. 6) Fraiser and the Smoke Monster as the human bad guys. Its fun.

I feel like Sam was always just mostly a plot device whereas Cade is more an active member of the autobots. Also, thank y'all for watching and reviewing these films in 2022. I always had a bias for these movies because they were how I was introduced to transformers. Now, after watching other transformers media and revisiting the films through your videos, I realize that they are mostly about the unique designs and action sequences of the transformers. I still love them for what they are worth though. So, thank you guys for the wonderful content!

Am I the only one who feels some sort of exciting aggression at the end when Optimus flies in space and says “Leave planet earth alone”🔥🔥

I like how you’re promoting Matt’s business. That’s such a cool thing to do😂

I can’t wait for them to watch bumblebee I know Jen would love every bit of that movie and Hailee Steinfeld gives an amazing performance in the movie as well

Lockdown's original name is Breakdown thats apart of a Decepticon team called the Stunticons and they combined together to create a giant robot named Menasor.

Neat detail at 9:07 Optimus says "Sam runnnn" which I love because its either Optimus reliving the time he died in revenge of the fallen where his last words in the forest fight was him telling Sam to run or the thing I like to believe is Sam was in that autobot ambush where I think Sam died hence why no one goes looking for him and the Sam run was the last thing Optimus said to him.

Jen is absolutely going to LOVE the Bumble Bee film. She's going to be beside herself with joy the entire film.

23:34 She squeaks whenever Bumblebee appears. It’s the "senpai notice me" moment. 😅 😊

I really can't wait for Jen's reaction to the Bumblebee movie.

I watched this 3 separate times in theatres when it released, the Dinobots were so amazing on the big screen. it was a once in a lifetime experience

I Love how Holden and Jen are just Casually Eating Dinner while Watching the Movie!

3:55 "Im honestly surprised they've stopped." But they DIDN'T stop. The Bumblebee sequel Transfromers: Rise of the Beasts inspired by Beast Wars comes out next year.

I went to go see TJ Miller last week at a comedy club he looked right at me lmao dude has the craziest eyes I’ve ever looked into legitimately intimidated me for a split second 😂😂

When Holden says there is a lot of action and not a lot of substance, I'm almost certain that he and Jen will enjoy reacting to Bumblebee, and leave the Transformers reactions on a fresh note and perspective. Don't get me wrong, I really love these movies so I'm not saying that the Bumblebee movie is better than the Bayverse movies in anyway, but it's definitely a refreshing watch with some genuine heart and substance after what I think is a sometimes a messy blurred together action packed series.

I don't understand how anyone can call this movie boring. It's the only Transformers movie that I've watched from start to finish without being bored and everything about it was well balanced. Also CGI is on top and that's a fact. Action scenes were thought out to the smallest detail and looked amazing.

Bumblebee reaction just for the intro alone would be great, what I wanted from the Transformer films the G1 designs looked so much better than the Michael Bay film designs.

It's crazy to think we are getting another transformers movie sometime in the near future. In terms of story I actually enjoyed this one a lot. Should be interesting to see you guys react to the last one and bumblebee.

Actually, when Crosshairs calls Bee a child, he’s not that far off. By Cybertronian/Transformers standards, Bumblebee is actually the youngest member of the Autobots.

This one is honestly my favourite, the autobots get way more screen time and fully formed personalities and marky mark was pretty great

Out of all the Bayformers films, this is still my favorite. Sure there was comedy & signature Bayisms, but not nearly as much. It felt like a real, serious Transformers story.

Ive been on a huge Transformers kick of late. I've been going down Ebay rabbit holes looking for rare Transformers from Japan. One movie closer to hearing the most feared name in the Cybertronian mythology.

20:05 that’s the original voice actor of megatron from the old cartoon. Frank welker. One thing will praise for this and next film is the scenes when otpimus and megatron face each other and talk. You can hear in the dialogue of the history they have facing each other unlike the other voice for him in first three films. Mainly due to Peter Cullen and frank welker they voiced the characters, know how they talk and act, and personally know each other in the work they did together.

Just when you thought there couldn't be a worse character than Sam, in comes in Mark Walberg's Cade Yeager lmao

Having the dinobots in this movie is what got me jazzed to watch it. They were my favorite toys in the 80s. When I seen the t-rex transform (grimlock) the kid in me screamed for joy

Grimlock (and to a lesser extent the other Dinobots) being in this is the best thing about it. They could've certainly done more with them and done it better but just the fact that they're there at all is great. Grimlock was always my next favorite Autobot next to Optimus himself. Damn some Bumblebee...give me more Grimlock! He just needs a bit more personality. I gotta put Age of Extinction above at least Revenge of the Fallen. Lockdown was great too..

Hearing "Hi, I'm Matt from Matt Lane Fitness" brings me unparalleled amounts of dopamine and happiness.

You guys gotta stay strong and keep pushing through. You're so close to the Bumblebee film 😩

Lockdown was a menace in this movie and the fact that he transformed into an Aventador 🔥

I remember seeing this one in theaters. It felt weird not seeing Shia laBeauf and it was so heart breaking watching autobots being hunted down

also shia thought sam's story was done after the first three movies so pretty sure he voluntarily left. if you like shia and want to hear raw, legit stories i'd suggest watching jon bernthal's youtube videos he did with him. moving stuff. also the drama with don't worry darling is pretty interesting too

How crazy would it be if they actually reacted to transformers prime the show

I don't know if ya'll know the back story behind why Shia didn't do the last 2 movies. But He got into some really bad drug habits and ended up going to jail for public intoxication, but that's all he went to jail for. But after he got out of jail, he decided to go into rehab to sober up and he made that decision by himself completely and he's doing so much better now!! But you guys should definitely check out the movie he made about what it was like for him growing up and what he had to deal with!! Shia plays his dad in the movie that he made

17:34 I felt the sadness and anger of optimus there

I think the HUGE difference between this movie and the last ones, is that I can see Mark Wahlberg as an action hero fighting alongside the Transformers, while Shia LaBeouf was like a cowardly kid just there by mistake. Also I'm sure Holden does remember there used to be Dinosaur Transformers in the 90's, In the Beast Wars saga, Megatron used to be a T-Rex, and there was also Dinobot who was a Velociraptor.

The Romeo and Juliet law scene and every scene with the legal minor and her adult "boyfriend" was creepy af. Even if they were both minors when they met, that's still a guy who's not far from finishing high school going out with a girl who just got through middle school. Here in Australia, a similar law exists, but there can't be more than two years between them, regardless of them both being minors when they met. There was a girl in my year whose boyfriend had finished high school and she was in year 11. It was still legal because his birthday was early in the year, so he started kindergarten at 4, and her birthday was late in the year, so she was 5 when she started kindergarten. They were within a couple months of having more than two years between their ages, but they still got some looks when she was walking around in school uniform with him.

I love how even she is actively done with the series at this point lol

Still my favorite Transformers movie!

When optimus first transforms in the barn, you can hear him say “Sam, run”. There’s a few theories out there that suggest that Sam died after Dark of The Moon.

I think this is a very underrated Transformers Movie. This is one of the very few movies with Mark Wahlberg I like.

I think this one and the 3rd one are two of the best ones ever made Mark Whalberg does a really good and under-rated job in this movie

Been waiting on this I think this movie is overhated and has a lot to like despite it's flaws

I was an extra in this movie.. my filming day consisted of watching a lot of pyro and running from a guy holding a card board sign on a stick

One of the best things the transformers franchise did is making there be consequences for the events of the prior movies by outlawing them and having people who hunt them down

I Liked all the Transformers movies. I Like Age Of Extinction but not my favorite. Kinda Surprised you liked it as much lol. I'd give it a 6.5/10. Jen really Likes Optimus Prime and Bumblebee lol so the Next movie should be very interesting to say the least. Not to give spoilers away... Thank y'all for reacting to Transformers! It's my favorite Franchise actually lol even tho it's mostly hated on. Btw the Dinosaurs are called the Dinobots. They're from G1. And the names are Grimlock which Prime was riding lol. And the others are Skorn, Slug and Strafe. Lockdown was actually a really cool villain imo

Ratchet’s death to me, is much more brutal than Ironhide’s from DOTM. Ratchet is the medic, and in combat, you do not harm the medic, but here, there’s no mercy. Let alone the utter audacity after blowing off his leg, the guy asks, “why are you running?”

Oh dear. This was tolerable even though it wasn't the best. But please don't torture Jen by making her watch Last Knight. 16:37 "Yeah, I went through that with Bumblebee." Best scene in the whole movie.

Fun Fact: If you called the number on the remember Chicago sign at 5:01 a while back (i think you'll get a "this number no longer exists" now) but youd get a cool answer from the TRF saying something like "if you have seen or heard any information about transformers in your area please hit 4 and agents will be sent soon to investigate"

There's actually another Transformers coming out next year. I would have assumed they were done too if I hadn't looked.

RIP RATCHET! Also the Main Villain in the Movie was Lockdown, Galvatron is Megatron Reborn!

They initially were gonna cast Dwayne Johnson instead...imagine that....the Rock taking on Lockdown alone

The best part about this movie is Lockdown. I also like the chosen autobots in this movie, but nothing really beats Lockdown for me here. Also the boyfriend arc was not necessary, but had some comedic moments. As for the Shia/Sam not being there. In my head it makes sense he's not with Bumblebee because all the Autobots are basically on the run or in hiding in this movie and Bee would never put Sam in danger like that.

Fun fact, the Romeo and Juliet law doesn't actually cover the "boyfriend" and he would still be super mega guilty of multiple variations of sexual abuse of a minor charges.

Megatrons will is so strong that even in death when the humans tried to reconstruct him in their image he would never change.

There is several things in this movie that were big things pulled from the generation 1 transformers cartoons. Namely the Dinobots, which were originally built by the Autobots after they found dinosaur fossils in the volcanic mountain their base the crashed ship the Ark sits in. (Yes MB used the Ark in Dark of the Moon, but like everything twist it and uses it else where.) The other big G1 lore piece was Galvatron. In the G1 Galvatron is the remade Megatron. The celestial being known as Unicron made him as his herald and minion. Back to the dinobots, They made their brains simple and after they went berserk and trashed the place they are shut down but then reactivated with upgrades to make them smarter (but still very stupid compared to the other cybertronians) and after saving the day they were left active and given an island for the original 3, Grimlock=T. Rex, Slag=Triceratops, Sludge=Brontosaurus, to live on and later a couple more Dinobots were built, Swoop=Pteradactyle and I forget the stegosaurus' name. Grimlock has always been the leader because he is the strongest and if I remember right is technically more powerful that Optimus but not as tactically good so Optimus can beat him. But Optimus originally won Grimlocks respect by saving his life even after the Dinobots betrayed the Autobots. From then on Optimus had Grimlocks loyalty and the other Dinobots follow Grimlock, although several of them don't like Grimlock following Optimus' orders when called upon. In the Bay verse you have Grimlock=T.Rex, Slug=Triceratops, Straf=two headed Pteradactyl, and Scorn=Spinosaurus.

THIS WAS the reaction i was waiting for, because this movie is special to me! The "hate" it has is a trendy hate and not a legit one. Personally i think this is the best and powerful of ALL the Transformers movies. Loved the reaction!

Being recalled because your wipers fail is waaaay better than having a recall because the airbags in your car turn into hand grenades after a few years. Because that's a thing that happened.

The female lead of this movie is Nicola Peltz, she played Katara in the live action film The Last Airbender (2010) by M. Night Shyamalan, adaptation of the animated series of Nickelodeon network.

14:41 I don't think Jen's gonna like Rise of the Beasts; Bumblebee has little screen time in that movie, not to mention that NASTY TWIST! 😈

I love how you guy are eating during this! this gold and realistic. I can't shoot a video without me eating lol. subscribed for sure.

1:44 Holden will never not get me hyped when he enthusiastically announces the comment of the day. I'm glad you guys are going to stick with this franchise for the rest of the movies. I personally can't wait for Jen to see Bumblebee

So safe to say since cemetery wind was hunting the autobots it’s likely the killed sam to get to them

I think Lockdown’s death would’ve been much more interesting if he’d try to kill bumblebee before dying

Something about the Sam thing is when Optimus is powered back on you can hear him say “Run Sam”

i had to do a double take with "inside my app" in your sponsor video with MLF. hahaha

i can’t wait for them to see the Whitwicky lineage and the answer to if Shia watched the movies after his. (Yes, he stepped away only cause he wanted his story to end at 3, feeling like it had been complete at that point and wouldn’t make sense to continue; hence Mark replacing him). Edit: to Jen’s analysis as well, I think her questions on Sam and everything will be answered in the next one. Mostly

I think it’s interesting how we see Optimus wants to live by his vow, yet he’s willing to break it for what he seems is a justifiable cause. It just shows how even the Autobot can be easily corrupted by their own good intentions as humans can. ❤️💙💜💛🖤

Grimlock, the T-Rex Transformer, doesn't understand compassion, just strength. So Optimus has to fight him as hard as he can to show that he is worthy of commanding Grimlock. And Grimlock and his fellow Transformers are known as the Dinobots. In the Transformers lore, the Dinobots have included Grimlock the T-Rex, Slug the Triceratops, Sludge the Brontosaurus, Swoop the Pteranodon, Snarl the Stegosaurus, Paddles the Plesiosaurus, Scorn the Spinosaurus, Stomp the Brachiosaurus, and Slash the Velociraptor.

Hey guys the reason Shia didn’t return to the franchise was because he didn’t think Sam had anywhere else to go, he thought that Sam’s story had closed

I just realized Galvatron and Stinger are pretty much the movie's version of the stunticons. I wish they'd have just called Galvatron Motormaster instead. I also can't believe they made Paris, Texas at the beginning actually look like Paris, Texas even though I'm about 99% sure it wasn't filmed here. I was impressed that I wasn't ripped out of the movie by a small, semi-unknown town not looking like it actually does. In particular, there is an interchange coming into Paris where you go one way for business district and one way for the loop that is very unique looking that they got pretty much perfect. Maybe they did their research (doubtful), maybe it was a happy accident but it was a nice surprise either way..

In the movie story line, sam and his family were killed by a tornado that was taken place 3 years after the 3rd movie happened, thats why bumblebee never mentioned him.

Theres a theory, one that I prefer to believe, that Prime was with Sam when he was ambushed, this theory comes from the fact that when Optimus awakes its possible that hes yelling, "Sam Run." The theory would point at what happened to Sam.

Finally i was waiting for this

10:37 - and that's why he was cast as Harry Bosch. Seriously though, love Titus Welliver; but his entire career has just been preparation to play the titular role in Bosch, and long may it continue.

Shia Lebouf said in the red carpet premiere for Dark of the Moon that the 3rd was his last because he didn't believe that any further movies could be better than Dark of the Moon. He was right.

In the 3rd movie. when they show the city under attack. they used real pyro to shoot off the buildings in chicago. They didn't tell the people living there that it was going to happen. Many people had ear injuries from the explosions. you can find videos on youtube of them setting off the pyro off the buildings on youtube.

There's a theory that Sam may have died when Optimus had gotten ambushed by the humans, because when Optimus is in the barn and transformed it sounds like he saying, No! Sam! Run! indicating that Optimus was trying to protect Sam and Sam probably had died.

What really annoyed me about this movie was that the Dinobots were heavily used in the marketing and then were only in the movie for like 10 minutes.

"We got our dinosaur transformers, we gonna sell some toys", I mean, true... when I was younger I literally bought and collected all the dinosaur transformers...

Jem crushing on Bumblebee is worth the watch alone! ❤️ 😍

I was waiting for this one! Age of Extinction was the second and only other Bayformer film to cross the 1 billion mark at the box office and then to have the last knight absolutely bomb at the box office. Maybe this is what we needed for the franchise to make itself whole again with Bumblebee and the soon to be Rise of the Beasts! HYPE!!

this is Megatron in the guise of Galvatron

I remember not liking age of Extinction a lot when I first watched it because of just how depressing the tone was
