TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on the GOLDEN AGE of CYBERTRON

[@battleupsaber462]

I love how literally the G1 cartoon used the term "Golden Age". Like yeah the whole planet is gold sure why not

[@Imperial_Lizardgirl]

I remember there's was a G1 series... where's there was a golden liquid pond on Earth, that's painted transformers into gold, making them invincible to damage... I think it's connected to "golden age".

Indeed!@@Imperial_Lizardgirl

[@Asphodellife]

It actually worked (and works) very well for me, making it very clear what period is what.

[@GalvyTheTom]

This certainly wasn’t the intent, but I think it makes for a way to mark Cybertron as the physical form of the God of *Light,* Primus. When fueled and flowing with his lifeblood, Primus’s body glows and shines a bright sunlike hue; when drained of it, he dulls and fades to darkness.

[@Werezilla]

Interesting how the Quintessons didn’t build Cybertron to be gold colored originally. Meaning the Golden Age is an unintended byproduct of Cybertronian prosperity.

[@Rodimus75]

I think that the "Golden Age" had more to do with the fact that the planet's energy resources, including the historically rarest known element: water (so mentioned in the Marvel Comic and seen in the cartoon episode War Dawn), were abundant and the gold color of the planet was just a visual representation. When the wars eventually drained the planet of most of its life-supporting resources, the planet took on an almost-dead indigo hue that we are most familiar with.

[@tompearce5418]

​@@Rodimus75actually the grey hue comes from the fact that Cybertron no longer orbits Alpha Centauri and is seen in eternal night.

[@Cretaceous158]

Could be related to Primus, who is canon due to Kiss Players

This is a fantastic narrative, that the golden age of the Transformers is when the war has ceased and the fighting allows Cybertron to become a war free world.

Hello there Chris McFeely and fellow Transformers fans of this channel. I do apologize for the tardiness of my comment, but when this video was posted I was getting ready for work and had to save this video to my watch later list here on KZbin. Which I am definitely glad that I did, because I found this video very interesting and very informational. I had no idea that a fictional planet, like Cybertron could have a wonderful and vast history behind it. Anyways, thank you so much for this great new video, which I found to be honestly enlightening. Can't wait to see more Transformers related videos from you. Until next time, when all are one. Peace Out and Maximize. Also, If anyone in the community has reading the new Energon Universe that Skybound/ Image is putting out. Would you recommend it for a read?

[@matthewmatthew981]

I would sure love to see more Transformers media consistently portraying the idea of golden metal = energized. As an addition to the TF design language it would be very useful for environmental storytelling, especially since powerful artifacts like the Matrix or the Vector Sigma Key are already portrayed as golden. It would at least be a lot more visually clear than trying to keep track of 10,000 different Energon colours.

[@PlatinumPaladin]

Great choice of topic, very coherently presented. I've always felt that the pre-war histories of the Transformers are woefully underserved given the topics it covers. Really hoping this year's movie does it justice, and that one day we'll get a golden Primus figure. 9:05 Love the duality of how in trying to avoid the very literal plague of rust, Cybertronian society experienced a metaphorical rust.

[@michaellombardi1620]

[@GalvyTheTom]

In my opinion, almost no Transformers continuity is complete without fleshing out what Cybertron was like before the war, be it in-series, through ancillary media, or just creator input. It breathes life into the story, gives us a reason to care about the Transformers and their world, explains why the war started in the first place, makes for some intriguing philosophical discussions, and makes the collapse of this beautiful world to war and ruin all the more tragic.

[@dochoskinsjr9807]

[@jermaineivey4699]

V good vid. Well structured, and cool to see how largely similar some of the ideas are for the early story - but ultimately they develop very differently

[@Undrave]

Great video as always! I guess once Transformers ONE releases you'll have to make an updated video on the Great War no? As far as Ancient History I'm fond of the Guiding Hand because it gives clear 'job' or 'domain' to its gods, like real life mythologies. The 13 Primes used to have that, with Vector Prime guarding Time, The Fallen formerly being the guardian of Entropy and the Nexus Prime being the Guardian of Rarified Energon, the stuff Sparks are made of but the new pantheon sorta feels disconnected... You got Onyx Prime who could be considered guardian of Beast Modes, Micronus Guardian of Minicons (just... a God of Short People?) and Solus Prime is basically the first female transformer (but also God of Makers) but a lot of the others don't really feel like mythological gods to me, their portfolio being a little vague. I'm always up for some Lost Colonies, regardless of the version of the past, just because it lets you mix different aesthetics of Transformers other than the original G1 flavor.

Cybertron: at literal peace, no death nothing. Megatron: *No*

[@mekman4]

I’m a huge fan of the G1 cartoon origin, it always sat well with me. I don’t like the Marvel comics version with the god and devil dynamic. It’s a bit cringe and grandiose putting the Transformers at the center of the universe, it’s a bit rigid. I do enjoy a wounded Megatron with the idea that _villain has a point._ I love that Frank Walker stated that he made Megatron sound the way he did due to some unmentioned and deep hurt that he felt defined the character (or something like that). I love that, that resonated with me. I’d prefer an ancient Megatron pushing against the change that chafes him vs a young idealistic Optimus who once looked up to him until he was abused by the trauma Megatron had experienced, in effect making Optimus _like_ Megatron, and like most of these dynamics drawing everyone into their vortex of barbaric, violent suffering, and even into deep space itself. Optimus’s suffering is his own viewing of his role in this, his unreadiness to deal with pain and betrayal and hurt and each attempt to fight Megatron and his minions is an attempt to plug the hole, so to speak and to _redeem himself_ by ending the war, which is a fantasy. Megatron and Optimus _on equal terms_ is Niquil and without resonance because war is about an imbalance of power, one way or another. One archaic view mixed with their pride vs another’s inability to recognize that some views and behaviors _have no solutions._ Great Stuff, as always! Edit: I watch a lot of Professor Vaknin. Excuse the vernacular.

He missed how in the first issue of the comic it was explained that transformers evolved from naturally occurring machines. I thought that was interesting and never really picked up on. Though to be fair I’m not sure how that would happen, but it seems like it could be fun to speculate. I also liked how in the comic the Transformers never encountered organic life before and so they didn’t recognize humans as the earths dominant life form.

[@8ball180]

It ended being replaced by Primus, so I can see why he didn't mention it

[@tylertichoc7330]

Funny yet fitting that it was the Aligned Continuity that set the new standard for the story of pre-war Cybertron but also had Robots in Disguise, the most controversial part of the continuity be the first instance of anyone trying to delve into Post-war Cybertron. And what's sad is that we kinda see a return to the age of rust in some aspects with the Decepticons and how they were written out of history and a vaguely remiscant return to some of the darker aspects of societal corruption that lead to civil unrest and the great war as a result. Albeit thankfully with some new bots who while immature and not well experienced would help for the older more rigid aspects of Cybertron's government and roles to adapt and evolve further and prevent regressing further back. And keep in mind that this was all brand new territory for the creators and shows to cover and all uncharted territory so there's a reason why it felt so messy and didn't necessarily have the proper aspects it arguably deserved. But what was said and done would serve to further enhance future continuities and help them achieve fuller potential that the Aligned Continuity lacked and how to prevent problems or flaws it had and help further advance and develop future stories. Just like with Cyberverse and now Earthspark currently. And honestly they have to have gotten Earthspark right if the actual fascist elements and individuals in real life of our own world are getting all wound up and glitched in the head to the point where our own Decepticon like groups are trying to "cancel" it and say tyat it's too political or "woke" or whatever tinny whining and engine block bilge. Because this us arguably the most original return to form Transformers has ever been since G 1 which was, ya know, CREATED BECAUSE OF THE OIL CRISIS AND WARS IN THE EAST! The Reagan Administration as fragged the right wing party was even back then, still had things like the Disabilities Protection Act passed under their watch. And that showed with the original Transformers cartoon. One of the main characters was disabled and in a wheelchair. There were regular call outs and questioning of certain stereoiand roles they played and effects they had. Which were ALL about as "woke" or politically correct as you could get at the time. And that was in the 80's when the country was still a good bit more conservative than it is today. I just find it sad and amusing just how much this franchise and it's different continuities and stories reflect our own world in real life particularly here in the United States where all this backlash is currently coming from. When in reality that is arguably the one thing that has never changed about this franchise and how it has survived for so long as it has. Because it mirrors or is directly tied to the hip with our real life world and our own change in society and what is now currently acceptable and unacceptable in our society and politics. Always has been. Always will be. Change is literally the only constant and that's why it is the core of the Transformers franchise. All this stupid slag and sludge about LGBTQ representation and modern societal takes portrayed in Earthspark is literally just yet another transformation, another one of many, that is currently at play. The only real question is when if ever will we be able to accept and embrace that change in our own real world and lives so that we may also at some point reach our own new Golden Age. Because as it stands now, the only changes we have made have and are set to usher in total disaster for our iwn entire planet and race and life as we know it. The again, well we haven't exactly always had the best role models. And that's too bad cause we could sure use some more Primes right about now. And I don't mean ones like Nova.

[@Gearoidmcnaught]

[@tylertroknya9780]

My favorite concept is from the g1 cartoon, Megatron origins, and the autocracy storylines because I found a way to combine them into my own transformers take on the golden age and it’s final days of that era. Nova prime believes that cybertronians are gods and are destined to rule the universe with peace and order; but in reality he was cyberforming and subject-gating other planets to expand his autocracy while he placed sentinel and zeta prime in charge while expanding his vision. The two primes created a cast system that lead to corruption and social inequality to cybertron in an attempt to keep the people in line. Megatron an energon miner witnessed the cybertron guard killed an innocent co worker of his who called out the corruption and hypocrisy in the cybertronain government. The uprising was silenced by the guard and Megatron was taken in custody and that is when he meet frenzy and rumble who helped him escape. The trio decided to lay low in Kaon, back then it was worst city in cybertronain history because of its illegal underground fight clubs. Megatron saw this as an opportunity for a power grab and to make money. Orion pax, aerial, and Dion where dock workers who load and unload the energon barges but Orion had another job which was his favorite, a clerk in the Iacon hall of records. The more he learned of cybertron’s past; be became self aware of the corruption in high places of the autocracy alpha trion saw thing in inside the young Orion and made him his secret student who taught him everything about the truth of cybertron’s government and said “ the primes are not gods; we don’t decide which races can live and die. Primes also don’t belong in governments, we are leaders of warriors that shepherd the people. Most importantly freedom is the right of all sentient beings.’’ Alpha trion told Orion that he had a chance to govern the people of cybertron but refused to but it later became his greatest mistake because nova and his followers viewed Alpha Trion’s philosophical ideals as a threat to the government and kept him under surveillance and monitor his actions. Nova prime was wanted the matrix of leadership to himself but alpha trion saw darkness in his spark and refused. Nova prime took alpha trions rejection as a deliberate act of treason and declared him a threat to cybertron. If he can’t have the matrix and no one will. He hid the matrix of leadership in the darkest vault of the autocracy citadel fortress. Orion knows he had to fight back if he doesn’t nova prime knows he wins. To fight back he needs to have a following, Orion pax however doesn’t have the numbers needed to plan a peaceful way to change or remove acorrupt government. Orion knows a gladiator named Megatron because his power as a warrior proves he’s strong, he gained a following to show that Megatron will fight against the autocracy and his political ideals that there’s more bots on cybertron who wanted change to cybertronain government. The two became friends and Orion saw him as an inspiration. The two bots worked together for a while Orion wrote speeches for Megatron to rally the people of cybertron for the coming revolution; but as time passed Orion was starting to see his friend showed his true colors and wanted to overthrow the broken system by a violent revolutionary force and had a reputation for criminal and terrorist acts on the government and the people who get caught in the crossfire. Orion and Megatron where brought to the high council and Orion didn’t believe in violence and convinced them that his intentions were good and he never throw his morality and integrity in the scrap heap. The council was moved by Orion’s words and believe him to be the next prime. Megatron was angry about this he severed all ties with Orion and the council support and do it his ways. After he left the autocracy raid the council chamber and sentinel prime said this council has been disbanded by the authority of the zeta prime.” Sentinel arrested all the council members and arrested Orion. Orion pax you are founded guilty of aiding and abetting with terrorist Megatron and high treason to the autocracy. Orion then called out the autocracy for their corruption, hypocrisy, and taking sword against the people of cybertron. Zeta prime knows if they kill Orion he’ll become a martyr and they’ll lose the senates support and he gives Orion an ultimatum serve the cybertron guard or prison. He gave him a mega cycle to decide. Orion placed in a holding cell. Orion has a visitor who wants to speak to you. It’s was no other than alpha trion he wants Orion to join the cybertron guard to keep the fight going and insist that promise has a plan for you. Must build new allies in the guard to kept the fight going. A few years after he joined the guard he is now torn to do his job in cybertron guard or believing his ideals so he can reform the system without violence. That’s my take on cybertron’s golden age and it’s final days of the era of peace on cybertron the rest of the story will go on in the autocracy storyline and then g1 season 1 episode 1.

The return of that one specific Transformers Prime flashback

[@SHIN2.0291]

Hey Chris. Is there a possibility for you to make a video about Dead End?

[@nitetimejohnson]

The transformers were "consumer goods"? What alien races bought 10-30 foot tall robots from the Quintessons? That part of the story never really made sense. Lol.

[@foldabotZ]

Alien races that were either just as large or even larger than them. Even for "human-sized" races, probably as weapons or construction equipment but as giant robots. Maybe they were initially even piloted mecha, like an in-universe version of their Diaclone roots.

[@DONG-502]

Aligned Continuity is peak Transformers

[@Zyuemperoryoutubecreators.]

the inequality bit reminds me of Beast Wars where it was stated peace was between maximal and predacon but the predacons were treated as 2nd class people while they did want to rebuild what their ancestors started for similar reasons they started they also were tired of living under the maximals
