Notice how in that trailer they mentioned that they’re “low class bots”? Well in the transformers prime show (though the movie doesn’t take place in the same universe as that show) the entire war was actually caused by the intense classism put in place by the caste system. And in the aligned continuity Orion and Elita weren’t actually Low class like they say in the trailer, they were second class. In the beginning the decepticons were actually a noble cause, fighting for equality and the destruction of the class system. Most decepticons were the 3rd class, which were often treated as worthless slaves who had little to no value and the higher classes often watched them fight to the death just for fun. The 3rd class bots didn’t even get names, they were just numbers with no inherent value (like Megatron with “D-16”) Obviously, after the cybertronians endured this lifestyle for tens of millions of years, Megatron speaking up and finally taking a stand against the system is what caused the 3rd class to snap, forming the decepticons. Most autobots were actually the 1st and 2nd class bots that wanted to keep their privileged lives the way they are. In fact, autobots often showed little to no regard for the lives of the cons, often brutally executing wounded and surrendering soldiers just cause they can, and even making games out of how many cons they could kill. After all that, you could see how the cons of then were slowly twisted and embittered into the ruthless and merciless decepticons we know today. I love the aligned continuity for this, because it makes the war so much more interesting and morally gray. Anyway, sorry for the long rant, I really love this series!
👀 they look like a bunch of young teenagers but still a cool movie here. It does look awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing this, when it comes out. Thank you for doing a reaction to this transformer one trailer. So enjoyed watching this I did
