It’s better by a COUNTRY MILE. The first one felt like it was trying to cash in on the widest audience possible by making the movie seem like an action-adventure comedy romp, while the second actually feels more genuine, centered around the betrayal of Megatron with elements of comedy here and there. It made me a little more optimistic
Same, like first trailer made me cautiously optimistic being that there weren’t any humans and the transformers were actually going to be fleshed out as characters but this second trailer looks downright amazing and reallly highlights just how bad the blood between optimus and megatron is going to get. It also really made me warm up to megatrons voice actor which i thought was just underwhelming in the first trailer
One note: D-16's insignia is not the Decepticon symbol, it is actually a print of Megatronus' face, something that was already shown in the first trailer
@@SaggyWaggy-is8it then i hope they remembered that WfC and FoC were also deemed as aligned continuity and they have at least thrown some callbacks to the games.
3:01 now that you mention that, i remembered in the first trailer they did show a character with a helmet that resembled the decepticon logo (Megatronus?), so likely megatron gets that t-cog and is part of the reason for his character change in this continuity
It did show his T-cog turning purplish instead of staying blue Perhaps it was the combination of the power of the cog from Mrgatronus and Megatron finally able to lash out against the higher classes because he is no longer a “lowly worker bot”
That's kind of a live action movie continuity pull I think it's better if he religiously follows Megatronus and actually seeing his idol it fully Influences him to adapt Megatronus as the face of the decepticonism
I really wanna see how soundwave became so loyal to Megatron without any question, most deceptions have their own ambitions but Soundwave is completely loyal to him usually. Just want a moment to show that in the movie
@@brandonharris7516 Why you're so excited? How do you not understand a simple question like that? No hate I just want to know why, I want to understand you're kind of mindset. I want to know how you came to that conclusion and why. Is it wrong that I want to understand you better?
I was lucky enough to catch an advanced screening of the film on Tuesday. The first trailer did not do the film any justice at all! I won’t say much, but the film is definitely a celebration of the Transformers franchise/fans and you caught on several interesting details. Great video!
1:12 Worth noting is that those two robots D-16 bumps into aren't Darkwing himself; they have different color schemes than Darkwing (one on the left looks like Needlenose/Quake's colors, one on the right has familiar colors but I can't quite identify him), while having the same model. Maybe they're relatives of Darkwing and throw Orion Pax and D-16 to him for messing with them, or they're part of the same caste/service and thus have similar body-types _a la_ the Vehicons and Seekers.
I find it interesting that D16 has yellow optic similar to G1 Megatron Box Art, before changed to red later in the movie. And yet Orion Pax retain the blue throughout, unlike G1 Optimus box that features same yellow color. On one hand it perfectly encapsulates how Megatron is corrupted by power, while Prime remain incorruptible. But on another hand I do wish Orion has yellow optic even for a while.
I was already hype for this even before the first trailer and I was one of the few people who liked the first trailer......but MY GOD the second trailer blew my mind..........this is my MOST ANTICIPATED FILM this year, I hardly can't contain my excitement. The Transformers franchise was TAILOR MADE for animation and looks like animation will show us what a TRUE TO FORM TF film can be.
That first trailer kinda got me worried. It gave off TMNT Mutant Mayhem vibes to me, which isn’t bad, I just expected a bit more. This second trailer genuinely has me pretty hyped for this movie. I hope it’s good and it does good at the box office because we NEED A WAR FOR CYBERTRON MOVIE‼️🙏🏼I’m also excited that we’re finally getting a Transformers movie that isn’t afraid of the lore
The only thing I'm worried about is a shot in the trailer of Megatron's T-Cog glowing and transforming his arm (around the middle of the trailer). It's all but stated the T-Cogs are from the Primes; it would be a really easy cop-out for them to say "The Fallen's T-Cog corrupted Megatron!" and remove any nuance from his fall. It doesn't seem like that's the case, but I'm cautious. Otherwise, I am nothing but hyped for this
It could be more of a voice in his mind that is basically the devil on his shoulder, encouraging his worst impulses and desires that were already there. So less it being Megatronous controlling him and more guiding him to his path of tyranny.
@@beckhornig7910 ooh, that makes sense. Megatron's still ultimately responsible for his downfall and retains his agency, but he remains sympathetic and ultimately tragic. I like it
The point where Megatron/D-16 points his gun at Starscream and the end scene are one and the same if you look at it. This is probably where they rebel after being captors. The battle scene towards the end looks like Iacon. Optimus has the matrix of leadership within his chest. You also see the matrix in the background with the statues highlighted. I'd imagine Orion gets this and this is where the division with Megatron ramps up. Megatron feeling he should be the leader, and Orion being the chosen one.
There’s also a Matrix Engraving on the wall behind the statues of the primes or so you call it, it’s just something I noticed after watching the trailer twice. Really hyped though!
Less comedy is a terrible idea you can tell a serious story without disregarding something enjoyable literally why certain animated series are successful is because they are funny we don't need a dark and dreary movie about robots fighting aliens and a corrupt system. It can have both equally
@jfoster8624 two words, transformers prime. Considered one of the best transformers shows next to G1. It was, for the most part, a serious show with some humor here and there. We want this. We don't want guardians of the galaxy. That's not transformers.
Do we think that Megatron will rip out Bumblebee's voice box in this movie? Bee is very vocal in this film and I think that would be an effective way to prove Megatron's villainy!
This movie series is a planned trilogy from what I’ve heard…so probably in the next movie There’s way to much going on for that to happen effectively (in story writing)
I think Starscream is going to be hunting Orion and D-16 before D-16 makes a complete joke out of Starscream (as usual), resulting in Shockwave and Soundwave praising him. He lets the power of leadership get to his head and takes leadership of the Decepticons. By the mid-point of the film, D-16 (now Megatron) recruits an entire army to fight against the unfair class system of Cybertron.
Tbh, I’m glad they release the second trailer, so that we know it will be a good movie. I do wish, maybe the narrator will use the G1 style or Let Peter Cullen narrating the beginning and the end. Making gone full circle.
Really hoping as the movie goes on, Hemsworth starts trying to sort of imitate Peter Cullen and eventually towards the end, Cullen is the voice for Optimus. Maybe they could mesh both voices somehow without making it sound awkward or bad
I’m hoping, that even if they don’t do that, they allow Peter Cullen to voice someone. Even just a cameo. Like how they allowed Charles Martinet to voice someone in the Mario movie
@@heckyeahponyscans oh awesome! I had the chance for an early screening this month, but it was about a 5 hour drive away. Didn’t really want to take that drive for a “chance” to see it since it was first come first serve.
Im most excited for the music of this movie given its the same composer from Transformers Prime which imo has the best music of anything Transformers related
I am NOW cautiously optimistic...for several reasons: Megatron was supposed to be Orion's mentor because Megatron is the revolutionary who preached non-violent protest. But his ways became more complicated and convoluted. I hope this movie explains why Orion has a name and not D-16. Did Orion appropreate D-16's original vision? A lot of unaswered questions.
Forgot to mention that later in the trailer, the Matrix of Leadership is present in Optimus's chest. It is also depicted in the mural wall when Optimus is fighting the Decepticons.
I was surprised that you didn't seem to see that they find alfa trion with the other primes. I noticed it in the first trailer, (they walk by an offlined onyx prime) and I recognized vector primes body when it gives you that over head view of the toothed cave. it's possible that prima (the original bearer of the matrix) is also in there, and so that's where pax gets the Matrix of Leadership. (yes I saw your pinned comment)
I decided not to speak too in depth about those dead bodies as we can’t yet confirm they are the primes. Perhaps they are other scholars like Alpha Trion. Yes, one of them is wearing the Decepticon symbol as a mask, but, you never know, they may be taking the lore somewhere else
Yea the first trailer was okay, the second one definitely gave me a ill definitely watch this movie, but my expectations aren’t very high. Now if they made a Transformers movie woth the Bumblebee movie Cybertron opening battle designs of the autobots and decepticons that would be awesome!
Worth noting is that I think for most of the movie he is actually just Optimus when he is able to transform, and later getting the matrix of leadership, seen in 5:23 in his chest, him what looks to be equipping it at 5:32 and 6:01 in the background on the statue, making him actually Optimus Prime.
It's a much better trailer for sure. With the exception of Bumblebee who feels like an MCU comic relief character, everything else sells the movie for me.
Trepidatous? Anyways very exciting stuff Ive definitely been convinced on this movie Its very exciting to get a AGE OF WRATH MOVIE The faces still give me uncanny valley vibes and the humor is a bit much for me at times but this trailer has won me over can't wait to see the movie with my friends opening weekend
...So let me get this straight... are you implying that you're upset that Transformers One is a movie made to be appealing towards kids and families alike as opposed to just being solely for a mature older audience(teens and adults only)?
@@DeltaTrion well that's good know pal. The thing is... those people(specifically some "older mature fans") who are constantly whining about Transformers One Animated movie for being a Transformers movie made primarily for a target audience of kids and families, demanding it to be a very "mature" and "dark" movie, and be made for a mature older audience only, are clearly misguided on what makes great movies in general and are clearly in denial that their beloved "childhood" franchise that has always been primarily for kids since the beginning, is a franchise made for kids(and families). Every Transformers cartoon shows such as Transformers Prime, Animated, Earthspark, Beast Wars, Robots In Disguise(2001), Armada, etc. are for kids as the primary target audience. And for the most part, they were great because of how "well-made" they are, NOT based on their "maturity" level, they were good made cartoon shows. Kids loved them(therefore they were successful by their target audience), and at the same time it's also enjoyed by families alike. It's the parents who want to spend time with their kids in watching a show, especially for those who are older fans of Transformers and want to share their love for Transformers with their kids. Oh by the way, something that's mature, dark and gritty does not automatically make something like a movie or show inherently great, because of course it does not, they are not even required when making a movie or series well-made, like Netflix's live action Avatar the last airbender series(which apparently the crew behind that series wanted it to be Game of Thrones style... and I guess we all know how that turned out...).
Honestly I hope this movie does well. It feels like transformers has lost its main stream presence after the Bay movies were done. If its as good as people claim this could bring in a lot of new fans and attention.
3:51 Im pretty sure Thundercracker is on the right side of the screen, but at 6:34, there seems to be two seekers that also look like Thundercracker on the left.
I wonder how their cast system is structured. Since only some Cybertronians have alt-modes, it dosen't seem to be Functionism as it was in the IDW comics.
I could nitpick on a lot of subjective issues I have but those are, well subjective. But what I think is a lot more objective of an issue becomes even clearer for me in this trailer: the trend of just hiring prominent actors for voice acting to help fill theater seats. I don't think any of the main cast are bad per se, but they're mostly VERY lackluster to me. Now, I've loved Keegan Michael Key since his "Hypothetical Criminal" days on Reno 911, but every time I've heard this Bumblebee open his mouth, I just see Key's face superimposed on Bumblebee. He even did an interview a bit back in which he shared that he asked Cooley what kind of voice he was thinking for Bumblebee and Cooley just told him to do his own voice. Huge red flag for me...standard actors have the benefit of conveying emotion with body language and facial expressions and by all accounts, I think the main four of this cast are pretty great in that regard. But in voice acting, you HAVE to be able to inflect a wide range because your voice is doing ALL of the acting, regardless of what comes of that with the animation afterwards. And I'm personally just not hearing much of that without these actors just sounding like I've heard them in interviews. Brian Henry is probably the one of the main cast that escapes this problem for me a bit and actually sounds pretty good and imposing in this trailer as Megatron...but that may also be because I've only ever heard his voice in the Godzilla Kong movies before this. 🤷♂️ I dunno, I'd be interested in your thoughts on this recent phenomenon Delta. Otherwise, I'm glad the buzz does seem positive even if it isn't really my bag, it can only be good for the brand.
100% agree with you on the issue that has become celerity castings instead of using traditional VA's. I think it's clear to see why, as you said, to get people in the theater, and from a marketing standpoint it makes sense. The amount of money that CAN be made from a bankable star far outweighs the money that CAN be saved using a VA who will obviously cost less to higher (due to many reasons). All that being said, I do think it is important to take a look at all the animated movies from the 90's that had celebrity casts too. Prince of Egypt, Lion King, Toy Story, etc. Thats not me saying it's ok, but I do think that many people see the celebrity casting thing as something brand new. I do agree with you, I would have preferred maybe some more seasoned VA's instead of these big name stars. As for a video on the topic, I might at some point.
@@DeltaTrion Good points, and to be totally fair to TF One, we haven't heard all of the work these actors did and won't until it's out. So is it possible there's more range and actual sincere attempts at doing something other than one's own voice? Absolutely, and as such I'll reserve full judgement on the subject...but my ears are a bit troubled just by the snippets we've gotten. And you're spot-on, big name actors have been dabbling in VA for decades. But to play devil's advocate, I'll just use some of your examples...I don't really get the same bravado of Home Improvement's Tim "the Toolman" Taylor in Tim Allen's Buzz Lightyear, there's a different feel of some arrogance but also full of hope and a sense of adventure to me. I don't hear any of Jeremy Iron's British heritage really in Scar's subtly vicious sneering (imagine if he had been cast as say Sentinel Prime and Cooley told him to just do his own voice 😂). I just haven't heard the same levels of VA in these trailers from anyone other than Brian Tyree Henry just from initial impressions. 🤷♂️ Also, wasn't implying I needed a video from you on it, but I'd definitely watch it if you ever did 😅 I just appreciate the discussion we're having here, keep up the great work!
As a die hard, this is the first TFs Movie I have been excited about for a long time. I was slightly excited about ROTB when they showed Unicron in the trailer, but I was quickly let down when I realised it was still a humans with Transformers in it film, and that Unicron was nearly pointless even being in the film. One, however, looks very cool. I wish Bumblebee would bugger off as a main character nowadays, but other than that (and he looks better in this than the non-speaking roles), this film looks great. Not a human or commentary on black and Hispanic culture anywhere to seen (unbelievably the ROTB director stated that the film had that type of commentary in it... as if anyone going to see a TFs movie cares about anything other than the robots, let alone racial and social issues... and the filmed mentioned racism and then the mother was actually racist against white people which is just ridiculously stupid and pointless, and how can that be right when you couldn'thave a white person say 'Black people love that shit'?). It's just a film about Transformers and nothing else... well Quintessons as well, but they are important in the mythos and very cool and very unhuman and not racist, just evil.
I HOPE that its revealed that Orion is an reincarnation of one of the Primes. If not this movie the next one. They are trying to do too much with this movie. I hope they leave enough lore for the other two parts (triology please!!!)
The first trailer made me so disappointed and not at all hopeful for the movie... But who ever made the second trailer was cooking! Im actually really, really excited for the movie now
im still new the transformers lore but, wasnt megatron suppose to be the "first ever decepticon"? obviously putting aside The Fallen and leige maximus. but megatron being the first one to bear the name "decepticon"?
In some iterations yes. It seems like in this movie, there is a group of rebels that consist of classic Decepticon characters, but Megatron might unite them under the Decepticon moniker.
Transformers acting like humans in another kiddified long form advert for toys that are of a low quality. I remember when Hasbro altered the storyline direction of IDW after phase 2 with All Hail Megatron. Instead of the high concept take on the Cybertronians the story went back to idiotic evil and basic-bitch goodguys. The Bay-verse was nonsensical in the end. All we ever get is pure suck. AI animation generation will change this...
I totally agree. It's as if the essence of every quip, gag, and one-liner from the MCU was distilled into its purest form, injected directly into the heart of Transformers, and left to marinate. No wonder Hasbro hired MCU actors, who else could bring such flair to metallic beings on a doomed planet? Classic Hasbro, transforming it into yet another unserious spectacle tailor-made for preteens.
