If that is not the most dramatic ending to a Transformers series, I'm not sure what is. Even the original Transformers Movie death of Optimus Prime in 1986 was that dramatic. And it's even better how much shock everyone goes into. The Decepticons don't even know what to feel, they just stop attacking. And its even better that Bumblebee didn't even realize he could speak again, or understand why he was alive. He just simply grabbed the sword and struck down at Megatron. And above all, Megatron gave a perfect performance in those last moments--he doesn't say anything--he's just wheezing, breathing, and groaning, clenching the saber practically whimpering and pleading for this not to be his final moments, to be taken Offline by the Scout and not Optimus. Perfect performance--perfect death. Overall, perfect ending. All I have to say about that...just wow.
+Crape yeah after he "reformed" and pledged his fealty anew-nonetheless I thought it comic since this is the first time probably he was actually rooting for Megatron in a fight :))
+Pvt. Church Yeah, I think he was. This Starscream actually has some sense of gratitude (sparing Arcee even) and Megatron not only spared his life, but reinstated him when Starscream was broken to the point of "Banish me! Hurt me! Just please don't kill me!"
I'm glad that this didn't happen but could you imagine if bumblebee didn't come back? What would they tell Raf? Would Optimus have died too? A series of questions that must remain unanswered
Yeah I feel the same way! Could not have been done better. When I see that, I imagine his whole life flashing before his eyes (no pun intended). We need this voice actor back. The scene has that much more impact when you realise that everyone, Autobots and Decepticons alike, have stopped what they were doing and are in complete shock at the unspeakable thing that is happening. Micheal Bay definitely needs to take notes. I am not caught up on RID 2016 yet but man, we need some more Team Prime characters back. Sorry for the lengthy comment. I have so much I want to say about this magnificent series.
I wonder what Optimus was thinking as he saw Megatrons lights go off. In all the Series this two even as enemys had the most respect for each other. Megatron even would nobody allow to kill Optimus as himself.
Tfp starscream (season 2 finale and season 3): lord megatron, Noo G1, tfp(season 1 and majority of season 2) and animated Starscream: I AM THE NEW LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS Movie starscream: sometimes cowards do survive
eva cameron and we are glad he's making a second revenge on bumblebee for killing Megatron and we never actually see soundwave that angry in tf prime as in rid he literally defeat team bee only him and laser beak and send bumble bee into the shadow zone(if rid does not have any rating limit, I bet he would have killed bumble bee and threw his corpes into the shadow zone)
I find it fitting that Bumblebee, not Optimus Prime, is the one to kill Megatron. We all assumed that Optimus would be the one to finish the warlord (because, y'know, they're the leaders of the opposing factions). However, of all the Autobots on the show, Megatron did the worst to Bumblebee, from beating him to an inch of his life (and crushing his voicebox) to invading Bumblebee's mind while his physical body was in stasis, Megatron and Bumblebee had the most bad blood between them. I also find it poetic that the last sound Megatron hears is Bumblebee's voice.
The way Bumblebee fell, the Shocked expression on all the Autobot's faces, the dramatically beautiful music on top of it all, Megatron's glare to Optimus knowing that he just inflicted more pain to him than he had in the entire show, not to mention the music seemlessly transition back to action from just one note, and Optimus' "No" as he tries to avenge one of his closest friends death. And they say this is a kids show, that is dark as all hell and gives me chills everytime I hear Optimus scream.
We start with a close-up of Megatron’s face, his ever-present scowl replaced by wide eyes of shock and pained breathing. Then the camera slowly pans down to the source of his pain: the Star Saber’s Blade piercing through his armored chest and spark chamber. Traveling along the blade, we then see Bumblebee, who Megatron had blasted offline not sixty seconds before, holding the hilt with perhaps the most determined look he’s ever shown in his life. We can _feel_ the impact because of how slowly the details are presented to us, perhaps as slowly as Megatron himself could register them. Ace cinematography if you ask me.
Its about Goddamned time. I think people, the writers especially, probably forget how powerful Megatron is. I know this is the "Prime" version and whatnot but in the original story Prime could stand against Megatron only because of the power of the Matrix. It does more than you think if you think its just a glowy smart computer. Megatron is a BEAST designed to kill. A barbarian if you will. I got so sick of seeing him shoot people and the shots would either just knock them down or bounce off harmlessly. THIS is what should have been happening all along. Steel ripping, gut busting, circuit frying, bad ass shots of doom.
When he lost the dark star saber I knew megs was done for, it's very symbolic meaning "the warrior has fallen". Btw the scene was shortened up or censored, bee put the star saber deeper in megatron and megatron tried to take the star saber out keeping the fight believing he could actually survive like he always have, the guy certainly had willpower.
Michael Bay, take notes. Learn to put some personality in your robots and stop shoehorning stupid humans for the sake of shitty dialogues and dirty jokes.
Hiya H NO. NOT ONLY THAT. MICHEAL BAY. TAKE NOTES TO STOP KILLING OFF ALL OF OUR FUCKING FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND EXPECTING US TO WALK IT OFF LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED!!! YOU HAVE RUINED THE ENTIRE TRANSFORMERS STORYLINE!!!
Krish Shaw I'm saying he killed off Ironhide for no reason his death did nothing for the story if he was alive for the Chicago scenes those would've been a lot better
Everything is perfect here, the music, the voice acting, Megatron's fall and the sad Look Optimus gives him as to seeing it as a victory but also a loss of the bot he once cared the most for
He was alive so the dark energon in his spark died with him, you can see when the dark glow in megatron's spark loses it's glow meaning it died, but unicron was able to reactivate the dark energon in megatron to then use his lifeforce from the darkness to fully revive megatron instead of turning him into a terorrocon, but the first time I saw it I thought Unicron was gonna turn megatron into a terrorcon
If you`ve seen the closing follow up movie that puts the series to bed you know this scene changes a little but not in my opinion, I found it most fitting that Megatron was defeated not by Optimus (seriously their like yin and yang one cannot literally destroy the other, never works), and allowed in the end for peace between both sides to finally come about, as well as end of the warmongering dictator, for that megatron never rises again.
I saw a mistake in the video after Megatron said "the star saber" after that bumblebee jumps and before that Optimus prime was still standing after he was knocked down.
Man never seen this show sort of stumbled upon it bit I gotta hand it to newer gen cartoons this has the best scenes animation and story of its Time like transformers from 86 and less not forget beast wars, 20 years later and those death/ fight scenes r playin over in my heads and so will megatons death It's bout time quality such as this returns for youth well done
3:08 What happens if someone was in his/her house, and then all of the sudden a dead evil robot that fell from the sky crashed landed on Earth right in front of him/her? XDD
Even as an optimus fan i think megatron didnt deserve this i really hoped him to be good at one point of time and even after so many crimes he committed i think he didnt deserve death he deserved enlightenment in a right way megatron is such a worthy opponent for optimus 😢😢
Bumblebee getting destroyed was the saddest thing I have ever saw in Transformers, and I remember my reaction from like 3 years ago like it was yesterday. and if this happens in Transformers: The Last Knight, I will be so angry with Michael Bay.
Well, he came up from behind and he surprised him. It can happen to anyone. And this is exactly, the unfairness in war: no matter who you are, no matter what you have achieved, there's no guarantee you'll either make it through the war alive and in one piece. Or that you'll have a glorious death
I find so many things wrong with this, from how little Bee was actually damaged by those three fusion cannon blasts, to Megatron being killed by such a cheap shot.
This scene broke me as a kid. I was hurt to see Bee die, but then I was filled with a never ending hatred for Bumblebee after watching him kill Megatron. Still a shame the voice actor went on to work on rid. A huge step down.
I'm crying everytime I even think of it. I've got a fanfiction going where Megatron got an adoptiv daughter. She is my own character and a lot like me (except she's a Transformer) I've been thinking that much about her and all of the story that by end of the second TFP season I had already started seeing everything in the series from her viewpoint. So when Megatron died it felt like my father died. After I had watched the episode the first time I lied on my bed, crying for almost 20 mins. TT.TT
i watched this show as a kid once .now, I returned to watch it once more this masterpiece never gets old , I think I might be fond of cgi animation at that point , even after thousnd years I would love to sed what happened to them with the same animations ( i don't like robots in disguise)
