10 Things You Didn't Know About Transformers 2007

Fun Fact: at least in the USA, stores ordered Transformers movie toys quite modestly, as previous toy lines for Spider-man and Superman movies of the time didn't sell well, but the TF toys sold out fast once the movie came out, leading to over a month of bare shelves as stores and factories scrambled to get a new production run of toys to the consumers.

[@lessonmet5291]

I'm not that surprised that one of the early ideas was to have the robots be silent. For the first chunk of the movie, no single robot said a word until Barricade attacked Sam. So both the autobots and decepticons were both equally frightening for a while.

It really checks out as well when you see how little the transformers actually talk, like if you’re not named Optimus, bumblebee, or sentinel prime, you will at best get 20 seconds worth of dialogue before your demise. It’s logical given how the transformers are more spectacles than characters in the bayverse, but man does it make it rough to think about what makes them interesting as characters other than “ironhide is cool because he’s the weapons guy”

[@SavageP.9000]

[@exowarrior]

I loved this movie when it first came out; I am a transformers fan, but I think with this movie, the success was purely because of the novelty. It was the first live action transformers we got and so it was incredible, but then the more I watched it, the more I started hating the fact that too much of the focus was on the humans. It was particularly the fact that the humans did too much to defeat the decepticons and it kind of made the autobots seem a bit useless. Like I think Bonecrusher is the only decepticon in the first one to be killed solely by an autobot. Even Megatron gets pelted by a couple of Josh Duhamel's grenade rounds before Sam finishes him. All Optimus does to megatron is trips him up.

[@ZZZZ-ie7vt]

The problem with this movie franchise has always been the focus on the human characters but the first movie works because that focus is spread out among those human characters. you don't spend all your time with sam who is kinda immature and awkward and his teenage problems ,instead you get other characters who add different perspectives ,add some humor and in the case of the military balance out the humorous aspects of the movie.

[@TedofBrowns]

100%. I thought the same about the humans. I resented Bay for it. Also how he made Shia scream so much. And Megatron lost to this kid. Ugggghhh, at least if Sam was a Powermaster, it would have made more sense. Most of the Decepticons are worthless too. They need to focus more on the bots and less on the people.

[@eddys9311]

@@TedofBrownsbh they really should of went with the video game ending where Optimus defeats megatron ( or so we think for now) and Sam gives Optimus the allspark.

The first live action film was a lot of fun, but the sequels got more and more disjointed. I'm just glad they have improved starting with Bumblebee.

[@TedofBrowns]

Yes!!!!

[@MINKIN2]

I remember sitting in the cinema (for a different movie) when the trailer came on for this, and the very first sequence was the stars flying over the screen on the paramount logo with the Ktschu tschu schu schu sound playing with each star as they appeared. As an 80s kid big into the transformers, my hype level went straight to 10 from that moment onwards. I still can't remember the movie that I saw that day, but do remember walking out still buzzing about a live action transformers movie.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

"I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting."

[@MetalPause]

Bay famously wanted George Clooney to voice Optimus Prime. The fans weren't having it and Peter Cullen announced his return as Prime at Comic-Con. Also the original concept art pushed the kinematics too far and Hasbro said that they were trying to make $25 toys not $250 toys. So the artists dialed back the details on the robots.

[@ranger51262]

#11. I was already adulting when the cartoon's were aired and had never saw them but I knew the name "Optimus Prime and Megatron", flash forward to 2007 and I had been taking care of my father for 2 years who was dying and I spent 24/7 with him until I got a break one day as a nurse showed up to give me a break, so I went to the Movies to take my mind off of things. Transformers was the new hit movie so I went to see this. I made it thru the entire movie up to the credits when I got a phone call that my father had passed away. So I have watched this Movie about 25 times, everytime I watch it, it reminds me of my father.. 😥

[@breezer723]

I freaking love this movie

This is the intro to the franchise, I owe my KZbin channel, friendships, my collection, my knowledge of the bigger franchise like G1, the unicron trilogy, and other things, and collection to this first movie. I love it and always will.

[@irvingbrown2389]

I really was never into the cartoon, but really liked the movie adaptation. The special effects and the explosions were awesome! The characters were so much better brought to life on the big screen and you could almost imagine an advanced alien being visiting our planet! Doesn’t seem so crazy lately does it? Are transformers coming to save us? We really could use them, there’s an evil force that threatens the entire planet. We should never underestimate the evil and power of this rogue government. It will lie and manipulate, this corrupt system will stop at nothing, it’s greed knows no bounds! Transformers where are you? Lmao 🤣 who knows maybe the making of the next movie. Thanks again Minty! Take care mate!!

As the only one in my family who was a huge Transformers fan (I went to see the animated movie twice by myself in theaters), I was surprised when most of my family wanted to see this. My dad almost never went to the movie theaters went & he loved it. He liked it so much, he went to see the second one in theaters as well. He didn't see the third one though. LOL!

[@petermacdonough9077]

YESSS!!!---Thank you for making this one. I remember seeing "Transformers" at my local dollar theater just before it left and I was absolutely blown away!!! My brothers grew up in the 80s playing with the toys and watching the cartoons and I watched the reruns in the 90s. You do the math. And seeing it was directed by Michael Bay, took me back when I went to see "ARMAGEDDON" with my friends and that's all I can remember. Like millions of young boys I fell in love with Megan Fox and it was her truly breakthrough role. The first Transformers will always remain a special classic to me and a lost time when Americans truly enjoyed adventure disaster movies and it was fresh and new!!! Optimus Prime and the Autobots are like superheroes to me and I love superhero movies. THE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN OPTIMUS AND MEGATRON WILL ALWAYS BE FUCKING AWESOME!!!!:)

[@maxordman4100]

Thank you for doing this video. This movie is definitely the best one out of the Bayformers as my friends and I call them. Megan Fox is definitely my favorite actress in this movie. I’m also a big fan of Arcee but her design for this movie looks disappointing to me, so I respect that they chose not to use her, but I was delighted to see her in Rise of the Beasts this year!

Great commentary and video, Minty. As an old school 1980s transformers G1 fan, I will admit that i dislike the robot designs (at 1st) for the 2007 live action movie but understood why the robots were designed for the alien/ cybertronian like aesthetic concept. I grew to appreciate the robot designs as the TF movie franchise had upgraded the designs to look more human like appearance. I find it ironic that the TF movie franchise have listened to the fans wanting the redesigned robots that really look like TF G1 cartoon for the Bumblebee movie franchise..keep up the great work Minty👏🏿👏🏿

[@TedofBrowns]

The opening scene in Bumblebee rocked!!!!

[@ernieduran6589]

I was a huge Transformers fan and I loved the live action movie, and I thought the human element was excellent. I thought adding in the military was a no brainer as I couldn’t envision mankind’s defenses not engage with destructive robots from another world. My biggest problem with these movies was there was never a consistent story being told.

[@lancevanamburg3924]

This movie was perfect too me! I knew what I was getting into. It did it’s goal. Excite me n make me smile.

[@RaymondTF4Ever]

Awesome video as always! I do have to correct you on one little thing. The military element was not included by Michael Bay himself. The military were already included into the first draft of the script written by John Rogers. This draft was written before Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman were hired to (re)write the definitive version of the draft and they were hired long before Michael Bay was hired to direct the movie. So they never had a conflict about this with each other. What did happen was that in that initial draft the military were basically written in as comic relief. The Decepticons attacked a military base and were unable to make even a single dent to the Decepticon forces and this would play out throughout the whole script. When Michael Bay came on board, he changed that into making the military seem far more competent. Due to his previous relation with the military with his earlier movies the U.S. military would eventually get involved with the movie. And that's how we got the military the way they are in the movie.

[@TedofBrowns]

Good to know. Would have really sucked if the military was portrayed in that way. It would have been completely disrespectful to the men and women who serve.

[@HighHeelKnight]

If I hear "prime directive," then I think of Star Trek. 😊

[@TedofBrowns]

Been a fan since the 80's. The 1986 film will always be number 1 to me but that's my own perspective being a child when it came out and loving Transformers. It was clear to me that Bay was not a fan of the franchise but thank the gods Kurtzman and Orci were both there to make sure there was something of the franchise left. I remember hating the fact Frank Welker was passed up for Hugo Weaving. Even though Weaving hated the role as much as Bay didn't want to direct at first, I thought he made a pretty decent Megatron. Dare I say to any fans reading this, he actually inspired Frank Welker to do a more gritty voice like in Transformers: Prime. I remember being one of those fans saying "Bay ruined the franchise." Yet in the years since, Hasbro made thousands off of me in the giant collection I built. Truth be told, I really did like this movie. It had it's problem, but it was a much better story than the 4 films that followed. And Minty, if you're reading this, Bumblebee film is better than the 2007 Tranformers. Maybe it's equal with Rise of the Beasts, but it's up in the air. But definitely not the best one, but it does hold a place in my heart. Anyway, good job with the review as always. Thanks for all your hard work! Now, Transform and Roll Out!

[@TitularHeroine]

I really like Hugo Weaving, and I wonder why if he hates so many roles, why does he take them.

Oh, how I waited for this to be released! Had lots of Transformers toys as a kid.. And, yeaa...

Too bad he (of course) had to lose the fight in the movie.. The most disappointing in the movie for me though, was Megatron not transforming into the classic Walther P-38 pistol.. Which though was understandable. Sam's parents though.. So effin hilarious!!!😂👍🏻

As someone who grew up on the original; personally really enjoyed the 2007 transformers live action movie. It's the sequels I had a problem with. Sam was supposed to be spike. The sequels should've had him more like the animated series and evolve him as a soldier type. Leave the whole NEST plot out or just call them GIJOE. So the whole GIJOE crossover about to happen has basically already happened. Just with a name change. And Bumblebee was originally supposed to be a VW bug. VW told Bay they want nothing to do with a war movie property. That's how that scene where Bumblebee pulled up next to the bug came from. It's also why you see a majority of the cars General Motors.

[@scoutmaster314]

Another interesting facet of this movie is how instrumental it was to the introduction of the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro. The Bumblebee toy I had as a child was a VW bug, but obviously the movie used the concept car of the new Chevy Camaro (way before the vehicle was available for sale to the general public). This movie basically served as a two-hour commercial for the new Camaro. There was almost a decade-long gap when Chevy didn’t even produce a Camero, but it is widely acknowledged the impact this movie had on the successful launch of the reboot, for which the same basic visual architecture still exists with the sixth gen still on sale now.

[@waymire01]

As an old school transformers fan I loved this movie. I really don't understand the criticism they get. Yes, it's a fun action movie with a ton of explosions and fights. It's supposed to be. The only issue I had is that they turned Bumblebee into a high performance sports car. He's one of my favorite characters, and the entire point of his story arc is that he's a little VW bug but has enough heart and courage to get in there and fight with the best of them. Additionally when the first one transformed on screen the entire theater cheered.. it was simply perfect and a dream to see it in "real life".

[@erikadlloyd5586]

I think the 1st Transformers was very fun, Bumble bee really should have been a Bug though.

11) The best version of Transformers since this movie was not the live-action sequels, but the animated series 'Transformers : Prime'. (2013-2015). As an 80s kid who grew up on G1 it's great seeing Optimus and Megatron depicted so well (again voiced by Cullen and Welker) as well as old school classics like Starscream, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, Shockwave, and others. The voice cast was top-notch including legendary sci-fi names like Clancy Brown, Ernie Hudson, Jeffrey Combs, Michael Ironside, George Takei, and John Noble.

Good lord has it been that long already feels like yesterday

The movie bumblebee was the true original fans movie, in my opinion. Pertaining to the way, the transformers were designed on screen. I wish all the movies were done in the same vein.

From what I remember Burger King is called Hungry Jacks in Australia because some random guy with a burger stand had already called himself Burger King and trademarked it in Aus before Burger King expanded there and point blank refused to sell the rights to them no matter how much money they offered him.

That's my husband at 2:39. We were stationed at Fort Irwin, CA and my husband was running a range when they stopped him and said VIP's were coming. It turned out to be the stars of the movie coming to Fort Irwin for boot camp. They came to the range and my husband was one of the soldiers who taught them how to use the weapons. Michael Bay wanted to make sure they knew what they were doing in the movie.

I grew up on Transformers, the cartoon movie shattered my childhood seeing Optimus die. Seeing the first trailer for this had me stand up in a crowded theater and yell out YES!

1st and the 3rd in my opinion are the best.. I feel they messed with some key points between the Bots and their Human companions… To make it more of a roller coaster fun park ride rather than an adaptation of the cartoon. The third one had Leonard Nimoy voice one of the Bots. With the other two original voice actors for Optimus & Megatron. Now that’s some nostalgia. A few favorite characters from childhood brought together down the years.. Plus Jetpack Prime. And a snake like Transformer tearing down skyscrapers.. Nice..! Been awhile since I watched it. I’m sure there was more. I just remember it having a decent story line while doing what the first one did well. Haven’t seen the Beast Wars version yet. Looks like it could be decent. At least the CG has come a long way.. I remember watching Beast Wars when I was like 15 I think., thinking to myself at the time, “what is this.?”, “Did the People who draw go on strike.?” This is terrible.! 🤫 The story was good though. 😌 And I knew then what ever I was watching was going to get better.

I dont care about any of it micheal bay ruined transformers period

the first 2 of some of my favorite movies from my childhood

[@ethanholgate2512]

I think also Roland Emmerich was really interested in directing this 1st Transformers movie at one point, makes sense as he's one of the kings of epic disaster movie's like 2012 and day after tomorrow but the studio wanted Michael Bay and Stephen Spielberg instead also its not that Michael Bay didn't think Frank Wellet sounded like megaton he just felt it was to cartooney and not menacing enough which is fair its his movie after all but yea he brought him in for the 4th and 5th movie

[@ethanholgate2512]

Frank Weller my mistake

[@Datan0de]

The first Transformers movie is just eye candy, but it's *magnificent* eye candy, from booms to bots to Megan Fox! BTW, the camera sound effect at around 15:15 threw me. I was wondering why my phone was taking pictures in the background. 😅

[@cliffchampion5501]

I loved the fight scenes in transformers 2

[@JM.Bengtsson]

Yea in the second one you could acctually see what was happening. Not just shaky cam
