Nerdy Breakdown of Transformers One Trailer! 

I pointed that out too! I think that it’s pretty cool honestly.

It’s a really nice detail I wasn’t expecting

I saw this too

Prime Arachnid is in it alone with Vehicons

⁠​⁠@@Kirbyman1223I wasn’t expecting the vehicons, it was a nice surprise seeing as transformers prime is one of my favorite series.

Modern mainstream audiences. They won't go see anything unless the trailer has humor or pop culture references, but what do you expect when in 2013 Pacific Rim was #1 in all the other countries of the world but in this country it lost to Grown Ups 2. Only in America would the public choose Adam Sandler over Giant Robots and Kaiju fighting. Also animated movies that are not following the formula of Disney or Illumination are generally ignored. This is why I despise American Normies.

I read a BTS and said he was given the lore but didn't realise there was alot of it like comparing it to Tolkin lore so he took some of it and put his own spin on it. Like I liked the idea that Orion isn't a data clerk this time round. Also this is not a preclude to any exisiting TF film and it is its own thing!

@@Renkencenit looks like a fun/feel good kind of movie and honestly….I’m all for it! The comedy is good at times but also a bit corny. I’m 100% gonna watch it.

War Dawn's origin is good, but the origins of Orion & Megs DO NOT always have to be the same to G1! I personally love the TFP Origin, but I'm actually fine that TF: One might have a different origin to either. I do have my own theories & thoughts of what could go down in the movie, but I'm not setting myself for failure; I still what to go into the movie almost blind, with the majority knowledge of the movie being from the trailers. Orion might still be upper class like in TFP's origin, but maybe he did something he wasn't supposed to that somehow involves Megs & as a punishment, he was sent to the mines? Idk, but thats a thought thats going around in my head atm. And the T-Cog kinda feels like some sort of Rite of Passage, & thats why our main characters don't have one yet. Also, Megs/D-16 doesn't have one yet for this reason & maybe cuz hes a miner & miners aren't allowed to have a T-Cog so they could be kept in check? Edit: I'm also thinking Megs/D-16 & Badassitron are both miners (in occupation), implying that miners only have number names. & thats why their names are D-16 & B-127, respectively.

funny you mention that given Keegan-Micheal Key the voice of Bee in this movie was Toad in the Super Mario Bros Movie

@@xxgoldmansionxx Um, thats why OP said that.

Maybe it's robot grass like they had robotic everything on Quintessa in the animated movie.

Maybe that’s how Cybertron looks before there’s a war. When the war starts most of the landscape changes.

😆

Oh I never realized that, I saw the black head but forgot that’s how his toy looked. That’s actually pretty nice.

I do too. Its a cool detail.

Agree 💯 👍

Completely agree!

But at the same time, don't just ignore what we can plainly see and hear in the trailer(s), either. Don't ignore what evidence we do have and merely hope all will be well when the movie drops.

Agreed! I was mixed when I first saw the trailer but now I’m actually really looking forward to it! I’ll always respect Transformers Prime, it was my main introduction to the series and I love it for showing a darker side of transformers while still being fun.

Glad you brought up the Unicron Trilogy, because that was what truly hooked me on Transformers during my formative years.

Which is g1 since that was the story in beast machines.

Smh that's not G1

Grass is so hard to kill!

In Cyberverse, Cybertron had some plant-like & nature-like environments, & honestly, I like that.

My 9 & 6 year olds prefer G1 over the current iteration. And they have watched all the series over the last two years. Anecdotal, I know. But their fave is G1 followed by Prime, and Cyberverse.

​You have an excellent point, ​@@LectroDev. However he could have meant about NEW young fans. Just saying, of course.

@@AmateurOfficial true… the new batch. I still consider my kids part of that group because they can’t get enough. I was surprised when they didn’t take to Earth Spark. The whole feelings angle they didn’t enjoy. They went back to Cyberverse.

@@LectroDev Gotcha

@@LectroDev Right On!

Plus, people need to remember: 1: takes place before the tragedy that is the Civil War between Autobots and Decepticons that ultimately destroys their world. 2. This franchise is about transforming robot TOYS targeted towards mostly children and teenagers. 3. To attract said target audience, they have to create a trailer first to appeal to them, before making another trailer more towards other specific audiences.

The director said they went with the comedic tone because they're holding back on some really emotional parts when the stakes get raised and there will be an emotionally powerful ending.

No we don't we need to see the movie when it comes out no spoiling thing no showing all the cool scenes in the trailer let this be the last trailer they show until the movie comes out.. if you scared to watch it then wait till the movie comes out and let word of mouth tell you if it's worth watching or not that's how they did it in my day and after they need to go back to doing stop spoiling movies.

Yeah, it DEFINITELY looked like Greenlight! I literally looked her up real quick to refresh my memory a bit, & thats literally her head! & the bot next to her looks kinda like Mirage.

That's fair. Though by the time of Orion Pax, Cybertron was already a metal planet in all previous continuities. So the fauna makes me question that choice. I'm still middle of the road with the movie as a whole because I hope that it is good.

@@RodimusPrimal Very true. I am still intrigued by the way they have pulled things from every corner of the lore to create something new and yet pays homage to each incarnation of the Transformers. Most would have not gone through the pains of doing any research and create something that goes against everything that came before. So I applaud the effort even if it turns out to be something that I don't really care for. But as someone who has lived through each iteration I am going to give it a fair shot and take it for what it is as I have every other movie and series

Don't forget Cyberverse, too. It also had planty/naturey environments.

I like the comedic vibe, I hope that once the war starts and Optimus/Megatron fall out it will be darker. For now I think the comedic and happy vibe of the movie makes sense and will make the next two all the more better as we can see how far things have fallen.

I was thinking the same thing.

Cyberverse also had nature/plant-like environments. I do like that.

@fennekin1750 Yea it did.

If the writing is good but only if they sow those seeds early on

It’s probably just me, but I think the best course of action is for a trilogy of movies to be made about this ‘verse. This movie shows Prime and Megatron becoming friends, a second movie shows them trying to make reforms in the government, with seeds of future conflict being planted, and a third movie where the fallout between them occurs in full. That way, we can have time to show Megatron’s mental state slowly, but surely taking a nosedive. Nevertheless, I’m willing to give this a chance, unless I have to help out my family with some kind of emergency, or I end up going on a road trip at the time.

It's a process. Look at what happened to Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels. Darth Vader didn't originate with little Anakin getting spurned by Princess Amidala and suddenly morphing into a black suited Sith Lord overnight. I'll buy into the idea that it takes millions of years for D-16 to eventually become the G1 evil Decepticon leader we all know and love, despite the fact I still prefer the G1 origin explained in part 4 of the third season Five Faces Of Darkness.

*Paul Atradies and Anakin Skywalker enter the chat*

I mean look at clone wars Anakin then look at Vader, pretty different characters but became that way thanks to the war, losing his friends, the pressure and distrust from the Jedi council and his personal demons, and in idw Megs was a idealistic pacifist who because of a conga line of traumatic events became the tyrant we know him as, so it’s not impossible to see

I'm still gonna give it a chance. It's kinda growing on me. Gotta remember, this movie comes from a franchise that's about toy vehicles that are also robots, that alone is kinda goofy.

Looks like that's what we're getting. This could be a prequel to that and TF:Prime. It's definitely not G1

So you didn't want Robots 2 with a SMB theme?!?!? Yeah, your idea sounds better

100% agree! But after watching this trailer now a few times I can’t get the 2006 Robots movie with Ewen McGregor vibes out of my head. Find a need fix a need!

​@LockeLynx This is such a ridiculous argument to make. Beast Wars was the same thing, yet the story they wrote to go with those silly toys was so compelling its still a high water mark in the franchise 27 years later. I really hate the argument of "derp its for kids so Dat must mean it has to be horrible by default." If that asinine way of thinking was correct, the franchise wouldn't have lasted 40 years.

Same

It has potential and my opinions are a bit mixed.

Ngl i enjoyed the trailer myself although some issues here or there but I’m hopeful it’s gonna go well but we’ll see 🙏🏻

Personally I keep my opinion reserved until I see it myself. Not gonna 100% judge it from the trailer alone.

I like the vibe so far. Once Optimus and Megatron become sworn enemies I hope it becomes darker, I feel like then we can look at TF1 and compare it to the next two sequels and see how far things have fallen.

@@Renkencen same. It looks fine so far but reserving final opinion until the movie actually comes out.

Also the director says it’s gonna be comedic but serious when it needs to be. From what I’ve seen it’s gonna be less comedic than what’s shown here. Edit: also I love the designs so far!

I did the exact same and I watched it a few times and it grew on me. I watched it first thing when I woke up and I was angry but I must’ve been hungry bc I wanna watch it now 😂

​@@TheBabyCaleb This trailer is likely targeted towards teens and kids. This is after all, a franchise of transforming toys.

@@LockeLynx exactly, I’ll still watch it but probably when it comes out on streaming.

⁠@@cyclonus96I also watched it first thing when I woke up and wasn’t super impressed. But after eating and watching it a few more times I think it actually looks decent. For younger people maybe but it doesn’t look terrible.

It definitely gave me the same vibe from the mediocre Ratchet & Clank movie that came out some years ago.

​@@Bearded_Breamignorance is leading you to say stupid things

​@@Bearded_BreamNo, ignorance is leading you to say stupid things "fugitive of folic acid" wait until the premiere of the movie to say your stupid things

Love the shirt lol. I have the same one lol

If it did that would be pretty disappointing from TF fans

Cool! Happy Birthday (early or late; doesn't matter)!

I actually think the Chris is the best Prime that isn’t Peter we’ve gotten. That may be controversial but I loved it!

@@TheBabyCaleb Imo, the best Optimuses that aren't Peter, are David Kaye (TFA), CV VA (don't remember), & Alan Tudyk. Honestly, Alan does a great job as _that_ version of Optimus. P.S. I do like EarthSpark; its good. It gets WAYY too much hate for the stupidest reasons. Can't wait for Season 2.

@@TheBabyCaleb Actually its not Prime, its Orion Pax.

@@Kededian we heard prime in the trailer at 13:17 in Rodimus’s video.

@@fennekin1750animated prime was pretty damn good too! As I said this is just my unpopular opinion. Honestly a lot of the primers we’ve gotten that aren’t Peter (except maybe WFC prime) have been okay.

Agreed, he’s the only one I don’t like here. Orion is actually really good in my opinion, elite I really like, and D-16 is pretty decent.

I like this voice for Badassitron, but I do love Dylan's performance in BBM. I hope he returns once or _if_ Bee gets his voice back. But, in the meantime, Bee should combine both methods of talking (radio & movie quotes) to actually try to form words, phrases, & sentences. But, him using quotes in ROTB was fun & great! & he should still just use quotes only sometimes!

I was honestly not expecting to love Hemsworth as Prime as much as I do, this might be controversial but when Peter is not able to voice prime anymore (either him being not able to or sadly passing) I’d love Chris to be the Prime voice going forward from there. Hopefully we still have Peter for many more years though.

Honestly, Chris does a great job as Orion Pax!

People have. I meant to talk about it and I think I may have cut that part out.

Light hearted stories can be mature too you know. Like just because it looks cartoony or that it has comedy means it's not mature.

That's nice

i mean screwed can make sense because its literally the screws which hold together metal plates and stuff

This the problem with trailers these days, they either will complain how a trailer showed everything about theovie and complain about it. Or we have a trailer that actually don't show everything but people will just assume that is what the movie has all to offer.

Visually it looks pretty good for sure. It's the story that I'm wary about.

That's what's turning me off as well. Too many jokes for each character.

TF: one is it's own things, not a sequel to Bumblebee or RotB.
