Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) - The Invasion Begins (Chicago battle) - Only Action [4K] 

Tho tbf, they were the reason the destruction in this movie happened

@iAmVeryRandom If the autobots didn't do what they did here, Sentinel wouldn't have been revived, then there wouldn't have been any invasion Just rememebered. There were actually Decepticons manipulating human history or something, so the invasion prolly would've still happened either way, so my bad

uWu true but you can imagine what it’s like if you find your mentor/teacher who your really close to and you have a device that can bring him back to life

@@xcx005 yes the fallen did something to a pyramid turned it into something that could hummmm HARVEST THE FUCKING SUN btw where would all that energy go It would just blow up wouldn't it?

@@xcx005 but in the last knight technically the earth would've een destroyed

Yup Geewunners are so ostentatious.

@@dropkick2224 true

infinity war/endgame

@@xavierrobbins8209 meeh

@@xavierrobbins8209 you joking

Similar to war of the worlds (specifically 2005), except here the aliens dont have magical invincible shields nor do they look so 'foreign'. The decepticons have technology and weapons very reminiscent to humans and they themselves look humanoid. That scene at 0:58, where the ships are approaching slowly in the evening just feels so fucking real. Like just watching them come so slowly and that barrage of missiles destroying shit, you really feel so helpless. Additionally, it feels like this can happen in real life. Could be the CGI, the designs but whatever they did they did it VERY well.

@@willdill1538 this is it. this is what i loved about the movie. you feel like if something like this was to happen, this is exactly how it would go. you explained it perfectly

@@luczids4258 I recommend the movie Battle: Los Angeles, it reminds a lot of the Chicago invasion.

@@willdill1538 well the fireworks and the filming was real, only the ships were cgi

@@willdill1538 I think War of the Worlds perfectly captured the hopeless feeling. The aliens look inhuman, they are untouchable, and they wipe out everyone without thinking twice about it.

Too bad their army was made up of paper. If they were strong like the one sin the first movie it'd be awesome to watch the fight play out.

@@vibe3063 In the first movie, Brawl and Blackout were among Megatron's best troops - not to mention in the first movie humanity didn't know what countered them (they learned only sabot rounds could damage them through sheer coincidence). By this movie, the majority of the world's militaries already had the weaponry and expertise to properly take down Transformers.

@@vibe3063 seems like u didn't watch the movie

@@vibe3063 Look at the battle this way. The Decepticons had spread around the planet to spread out the pillars to allow CYbertron to be transported, THe Con army in Chicago wasn't super huge. And the AUtobots basically puled off a stealth infiltration, and 1 by 1 took out all of the Con leadership, once the control pillar was destroyed it also had an effect where it pulled all the Con warships back up to the portal, meaning the only ones left were ground troops, very likely they ran and went into hiding knowing they'd lost their leadership, fleet, and any reason to stick around there.

Don’t want to get political but......

Are the scientists who made transformium part of the government?

@@xcx005 technically yes

Contact! Watch out! Move it! Move it! Autobots, Retreat!

@Jigsaw88 The Autobots were given an amnesty. They were free to go. The Decepticons were declared illegal. Cemetery Wind was acting without government authorization when pursuing the Autobots. The TRF clearly had to detect any badges of incoming Transformers. Any Autobot insignias were allowed to go free. Any neutral Transformers were killed, which is the reason for Bumblebee's reaction in the fifth film. Because they were innocents that took no part in the Cybertronian Wars.

It's not much about looking like practical effects, but make it blend with the real world. That's what these movies did so good, from the highway chase in the first movie where Optimus fights Bonecrusher to the forest fight on the 2nd movie, and pretty much the entire 3rd movie are still amazing works of CGI, the way they interact with the scenario like they truly are there along with practical effects like explosions and props. Michael Bay compensated the lack of writting with great visuals. A lot of movies these days, especially the MCU, don't care about making CGI blend with the real world, they make entire takes on CGI with little to no real world elements.

@@zalabit927a lot of it has to do with how the lighting around the transformers reflects. That’s what makes CGI look real

​@@zalabit927 yea. The MCU now is dogshit

@@diollinebranderson6553 Commenting on a movie these days without shitting on the MCU: impossible We get it. Theres more girls in those movies now

@@jd8184 doesn't help that they are still sh!tty movies

cause that's why sucked decepticons don't do that that's not in their in character

​@the3zoooz1 They are literally genocidal xenophobes. That's completely in there character to want humanity killed

Everyone says it’s the best transformers movie

Remember that time a transformer movie showed a prisoner execution?

Glad you enjoyed my city at one of its not so fine moments.

Just wait until it actually happens

I'm seeing all these innocent people die.

Darth Destructus I too am a fellow Chicagoan

Well at least some innocent people survived

you can say they actually won twice in the whole bayverse ( ex. decepticons invaded the world after megatron killed optimus in tf2, and when the decepticons let out a full scale attack on Chicago after the United Nations banned the autobots from the world in tf3

@@michealharrison2219 yupp and all Autobots can do is fixed while minimized the damage and becoming the martyr

dude, they have to deal with the power of friendship... there is no chance for them to win.

They literally are called Decepticons

Exactly

When I first saw that, I’m like “yeah he’s pissed from them almost blowing him up”

We will ki- SAM

"Sorry my bad"

That one Gundam moment where a giant casing landed on a mother's head killing her instantly, she was carrying a baby too.

*THUNG

thats how he canonically dies 😂

No... no they are not. And that's a stupid comment.

Agreed. Except for the 4th and 5th doe

I agree the transformers movies are amazing

Just look-wise, everything else is a disaster.

@@alanperez4629 after the trilogy, it's became a disaster

That's the Magic Eraser 9000

agreed, the fighter sounds cool

Mgel Darion plot holes that’s what this series is all about

They needed the pillars to teleport this huge army... Plus what if these decepticons haven't been on the moon for a long time?

In the second movie the army is being created, but the brood is unstable, hence they needed the power of our sun to secure a stable future breed. This army is the army being made in the second movie. ;)

The army was there since 1967. They couldn’t use it because they needed the matrix to revive sentinel since he was the only one who could activate the pillars and transport the army to earth. The matrix wasn’t there until Sam earned it and gave it to Optimus. I know it’s fun for you people to hate on these movies but whatever you think, they are fucking brilliant.

@@Adam-er5rc wouldn't it be easier to just...dive through the atmosphere like they usually do?

Of all the trucks he could be he became a garbage truck.

@@rollickplays3579 It's the only matching green truck there.

Ngl, I wanted to see that one fight the other garbage that turned into 3 decepticons

@@rollickplays3579 he needed something his size and color

According to Theorymus, that Robot is Onslaught (first name: Garagebot)

Feel bad for the dude that yelled "HELP"! No one helped him :(

Ben Sutton u mean the Osprey door gunner that was holding for his life

@@bolobalaman he had a wingsuit if you look closely

He is really awesome in doing action scenes ngl

With the music It’s soooo good

0:31 the second that decepticon came out of the rift, it immediately transformed into a police car! Hidden in plain sight already😬. I never noticed that before🤣.

Can you imagine how horrifying that would be, to be so thankful that an ambulance is here to help but instead it transforms into an evil alien robot and vaporizes you instantly.

sleez squad I mean... yeah if that’s the only thing left after the people get disintegrated

Not to mentiom the amount of cleanup and damage renovations had to be done to Chicago and Washington DC

This made me think ever since this movie came out: If the Decepticons needed a slave labor force to rebuild Cybertron, yet are completely fine with killing hundreds of millions, or even a few billion, what labor can they get then? It's the equivalent of literally any politician: say one thing, do another for fun.

@@robbob7840 they only killed 1300 people in Chicago. I think they meant to enslave humans outside of Chicago since they wanted to use the city as their headquarters.

I was like DECEPTICONS STOP BLOWING UP PEOPLE

The last knight had the highest budget.

@@superxstrah320 but bay failed to get the profit

@@loominatrx yes but it still had the highest budget.

No, it is with the smallest budget and highest earnings

@@superxstrah320 how tf did it turn out so damn bad then?

Lol. He’s probably slained by the auto bots offscreen.

It is worse.

@@angusng816 BRUH he just implied that already

Robot invasion nice

@@mrsmile8064 oh not roll by invasion cybertronian invasion.

Jan. 6, 2021

I agree

Devcon

@@decepticonreaver9139 yep

Brutal isn't it?

gaming universe I would rather see the flesh and blood tbh...

We dont want a danm r rated film

There was hidden r rated scene Tf2 where The Fallen severed the head of a soldier

Those guns must pack one hell of a punch... or bullet

Nah more like jurassic world

@@fakhridito5532 ah yes dinobots

Nah man it's exactly like Tellatubbies.

More like independence day or mars attacj

This look like me and the bois after quarantine going to invade the furry servers

Simply put these things are masterpieces of action and cinimatography, but yes they very much lack in gripping story, what is there is basic and easy to follow. Bay would have done better if they had a 2nd director there that focused on the story side while Bay focused on how to bring said story to life.

It’s very special to me cuz I watched it in Chicago. I grew up here since I was a kid and I loved the transformers franchise

Justin Virts You can’t even hear it.

damn shockwave was lit in this movie shame he died, had lots of potential

@@dominicron7231 Yeah he was just a big guy with a big gun. He didnt give off a mad scientist vibe like in TFP or the original series.

Oh yeah i saw that, good eyes you have

Ast Marian he fell down

True

I think he got blasted to bones by the decepticon cannon

@@VYDEOS2 No, cause at 1:36 the decepticon didn't aim his gun at the human, but rather the humans in front of him, it's possible he could've fell down or was probably crushed by the decepticons foot, but seeing the size of his leg it's probably a small chance

burningeagle 12 Talk about patience.

And how did they know where the space bridge would open?

@@GabMod they made a deal with Sentinel

It also makes me remember “Apollo 18” I like to think that moon rocks mixed with cybertronian energon and that’s what made the aliens

They landed there, probably shut down from lack of energon, then the gate opened and they were given more energy

Wrong franchise bud.

Yep. But I get it.

Its thundercracker

I can't imagine how complicated the controls would be tho

Ok

All this time I thought he said Hound for some reason lmao

Yes. They hold a special place in my heart.

Agree The best

Yes! Gotta be!

Yes

Ye

Joel Costa I thought Bumblebee is, but the action in Dark of the Moon is awesome!

yea

We will kill them all.

My dad when he sees a wasp

The best CGI metal representation in cinema.

8 kills 😎

@@DK_-LUIGI-_ only 6, the other two survived

@@frikiverse7535 7 or 8 actually.

@@frikiverse7535 The burst sweeped all of them, they just didn’t show the other two. If you look closely you see the other two getting impacted by the blast just before they go off camera.

visually yes, storywise it was decent. For me it's the IDW movie comics that salvaged these films and why I still love them so much. At least for the first 3 films the comics did an amazing job building on the lore from the films, and yet surprisingly with each new film the comic writers actually managed to incorperate the new lore into what existed, makig it work around what they'd already written and not needing to scrap what came before. Then TF 4 and 5 threw such a big wrench into it you either need to consider the comics no longer canon, or just make up your own headcanon to make it work, even looking at JUST the films it's a mess now that has no clear story anymore.

Idk between dotm and rotf dotm wrecks rotf but the first movie vs dotm it's pretty hard but action wise dotm was more enjoyable.

agreed

me too

Ha ha. Nice

Explosion...

Probably was just a huge ass flashbang grenade or a accidental flare

I mean in the BTS those are just Michael Bay's fireworks, maybe they didn't want too add cgi debris to save money

Mbay forget to use cgi

Fr

Hide in the basement wait until they lose

Be a decepticon

be optimus prime

that’s the neat part, you don’t

Same the mcu is dying

That's probably onslaught cuz this vehicle is thicc, and his new one is long. That means that his thickness spread out to length when he scanned the tow truck in The Last Knight

@@theyoboygamer3754 i think that is a onslaught PROTO-FORM take a look at trans theories he knows more

You watched it too? I was referring to that

You mean Junkheap?

It is like onslaught

Jacky Chak is

U need a bigger door

He's like Onslaught but not really him..

Jacky 6498-He’s a protoform of Long Haul,Onslaught is basically one of the protoforms in a different form.

I still love it and I’m 20 years old now. Watched the first one and older cartoons since I was like 6-7

The push bars didn't do crap

Theres probably portals on different parts of the planet

USAF Raptors have a hard time with just Starscream to deal with. They have no chance against those Cybertronian fighters.

@@ThePathStrider in the first one, they cut through transformers like butter by this point

Only the Decepticons went through the space bridge portal. They say in the film that over 200 of them passed through the portal and then dispersed after scanning vehicle modes. I think the reason humans weren’t able to interfere as much when this happened was because so many Decepticons suddenly dropped in. Tracking them wasn’t the problem, it’s that there were too many of them to track down before they made their move and invaded Chicago.

It'd be cool to get studio series figures of those decepticons

​​​@@Arlett777 Megatron: take it trash Garbagebot: yes lord Megatron 0:54

You could literally do a horror short film about the Chicago invasion with a similar feel like the Cloverfield movie

I legit thought of this when watching that trailer XD
