Fun fact: When Megatron was on ice, he was conscious the entire time. Since he landed on Earth. For all these years he heard everything the humans said. When Sam saw him he called him "Megatron, the destroyer of worlds, the conquerer, the tyrant", Megatron heard someone pronounce his name for the first time in 2000 years. At Sector 7 they all called him "NBE-1", even correcting Sam when he called him Megatron. So when he got unfrozen he said "I AM *MEGATRON!!!!!* " just to correct the humans and confirming that his name was the one Sam said.

BTW Bumble Bee's original car form was the yellow Volkswagon Beetle but when Michael Bay made his version of Transformers he made Bee's car form the 1977 Chevrolet Camero because it was cooler and also Bee could talk but Bay thought it would be cool if Bee talked through the car's radio instead of using his actual voice

[@Ryan_Christopher]

Bee was a Camaro because Bay had a huge marketing tie-in with Chevrolet when his movies were made. Notice how nearly all the Autobots transform into Chevy or GMC vehicles. That was watered down after the Great Recession when GM kinda went bankrupt and had to be bailed out.

[@shainewhite2781]

Watch the Animated TRANSFORMERS movie from 1986. The original scripts were a lot different than the final cut of the movie: One draft had the robot characters arrive on Earth in a large spacecraft. It was going to be told from a human perspective, very similar to 1970's disaster films. The robot characters had no dialogue at all. Another draft had 6 Autobots and 6 Decepticons arriving on Earth and that they that have been feuding since the dawn of time, implying that they have been around for billions of years. The climax would have been an old style showdown in the Grand Canyon before it was changed to the city. Joseph Kahn and Robert Zemeckis were considered for directing the movie, until producer Steven Spielberg picked Michael Bay. Ay first, Bay turned it down, because he thought that making a kids movie aimed at kids ws a stupid idea, but when he read the script, he knew it would be more darker than the final cut of the film

[@rickymoranjr9609]

[@robhax]

@MarzOnline92 Hasbro went to Japan to find new toys to sell to American children. The toys they event bought and rebranded as "Transformers" already existed - the First Generation. In fact, many were from completely separate toy lines in Japan. That's why some of the Transformer figures are... odd. They are fullsized vehicles, except for Megatron and Soundwave? Those were from a special toy line dedicated to transforming small items

[@ESG151]

The origins of the Transformers is broken down exceptionally well in an episode of a Netflix series called 'The Toys That Made Us'. They get into how execs from Hasbro combined various toy lines of transforming toys from Japanese company Takara to re-brand their products into the broader Transformers brand for international markets. It's pretty a fascinating watch. While vehicles are typically the main form they take, there have been bots that have been boom boxes, a microscope, cameras, hand guns, animals, insects and all sorts of goofy and fun forms

[@CDRhammond]

Transformers started off as a toy then became a cartoon later. Both the Autobots and Decepticons have their own specific faction symbols. The Autobot insignia is seen on Bumblebee's wheel and on Optimus when he first transforms. In this movie the only one that displays the Decepticon insignia is Barricade on the police patch located on either side of the car behind the front wheels. In the cartoons the symbols were clearly displayed regardless of what form they were in so kids could know who was on what team.

[@ziggythedrummer]

As a child of the 1970s, the Transformers were a massive part of my childhood - I see you've reacted to the 1986 animated movie too so I'll watch that reaction too. As soon as the helicopter (Blackout) made that familiar "transforming" sound, I was a child again! And even more when Optimus Prime appeared, and spoke with the familiar voice of Peter Cullen, who has voiced the character since 1984! I used to have a friend who was a massive nitpicker with films; when he watched this, it got to the scene where Lennox (Josh Duhamel) slides off the motorbike to shoot Blackout from underneath. My friend said "that was totally unbelievable, no trousers could stop his skin getting ripped to shreds by the road friction!" I could only reply "THAT'S what you nitpick in a movie about 20-foot-tall transforming alien robots?!"

[@patrickcromwell7554]

Yeah the whole "More than meets the eye" thing is a call back to the 1982 animated show. "More than meets the eye" is like the Transformers slogan. The main theme song goes: "The Transformers. More than meets the eye." Essentially saying that the vehicles we see aren't actually vehicles. Finally the way they were differentiated in the beginning was that the Autobots were domestic Land vehicles; such as cars and vans/trucks; while the Decepticons were primarily military vehicles. Fighter Jets, mostly while their leader Megatron was an actual gun. As the seasons moved on their versatility changed and both sides had varying types of vehicles.

A transformers ability to change what they can turn into can vary. Some start out what they turn into, like Scorponok, city bots/titans, and insecticons. The usual cybertronian can change what they turn into via scanning, which can be re-done. I'm willing to bet that no character in the entire franchise had more thought put into their personality than Peter Cullen did for Optimus. He got advice from his brother (who was in the military, RIP) how to sound like a hero: "Be tough enough to be gentle."

There are 5 films in the Michael Bay series: Transformers (2007) Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Dark of the Moon (2011) Age of Extinction (2014) The Last Knight (2017) Shia LaBeouf is in the first three and I think Mark Wahlberg in 4 & 5, but I haven't seen those two yet. Bumblebee was released in 2018 and was originally supposed to be a prequel set in the 1980s, but later it was changed to a reboot with Rise of the Beasts released last year as the next chapter. As a kid from the GenerationOne or "G1" era, the first 5 minutes of Bumblebee are pure perfection showing the Autobots & Decepticons fighting on their home planet of Cybertron in their original designed forms. For fans who hate the Michael Bay series for its inauthenticity, I recommend it. Thank you for bringing us with you on your introductory journey through the Transformers' world. 👍🏻
