I Didn’t Expect to Love *TRANSFORMERS* As Much as I Did!

❗📢 FULL-LENGTH AND EXTENDED REACTIONS: / doscavazos
In this video I am watching the movie "Transformers (2007)". The fate of humanity is at stake when two races of robots, the good Autobots and the villainous Decepticons, bring their war to Earth. The robots have the ability to change into different mechanical objects as they seek the key to ultimate power. Only a human youth, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) can save the world from total destruction.

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.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

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.

[@MrRetluocc]

@24:43 - This is the kind of insightful commentary we all come here for... 🤣🤣🤣

[@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

[@lionbolt2136]

I love how 1st Sam was running after his car thinking it was stolen, then it starts to go after him. 😂 Hilarious

[@MadcapMatt]

Regardless of how many sequels you eventually do or don't watch you have to watch the spin-off Bumblebee with Hailee Steinfeld.

[@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

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Transformers started off as an animated series and then they made toys which became wildly popular to children everywhere

[@robhax]

Flip that... It was synergy. Made the cartoon to help sell the toys transported over from Japan. It was very common in the 80s, really... GI Joe, He-man, Transformers Cartoons were just big commercials

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@@robhax ok, i understand

[@MarzOnline92]

Flip that. Hasbro & Takara Tomy collabed to produce the Transformers toy line. After their huge success, Marvel then produced Transformers comic books, & then Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions create the TV series in association with Toei Animation for the first-run syndication.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@@MarzOnline92 oh yeah, I forgot about the Transformer comics

[@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

[@JK-tn4xp]

Watching the original animated series and animated movie is a must.

[@canita247]

On a boring weekend afternoon, I put this movie on for my 5 year old son back then after it first came out and an immediate relationship between my son and Transformers was born.

They aren't brothers, but bonded before the fall of Cybertron. They were like officers serving under Sentinel Prime. Optimus finds out he is a descendant of the Primes, the ones who rule Cybertron. Megatron's jealousy drives him to the Fallen, those that opposed the Primes.

I used to watch Transformers cartoon when I was a kid. Optimus Prime and Grimlock are my favorite characters. I used to have the 80s toys but I bought a loose Grimlock off a guy at a game store years ago. The store didn’t want it so I bought it off the guy for 20 dollars. I’m meeting Peter Cullen in July who voices Optimus Prime from the tv show and these movies. When Shia says more than meets the eye. That is from the tv show Transformers more than meets the eye. I liked Optimus Prime character because the voice is amazing for his character

[@Professor-of-Gaming]

The first one is still a really fun and charming film. Has that Spielberg touch. They definitely go off the rails after part 1, but it doesn't change how great part 1 was in 2007. I'm an 80s kid who grew up on the original series and adored the first film

[@thelifeofkev_19]

New subscriber, please keep watching this franchise🙏🏽💯

[@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.

[@TheRManProds]

[@borjankosarac3645]

Be aware that the later movies are… messy. Except “Bumblebee”, which was meant to be a prequel but actually isn’t one, and is actually a really great movie in itself. BTW, the guy who Megatron flicked was Michael Bay himself. Just a funny director’s cameo… And yes, some of the humour is good, even if a lot is weird and uncomfortable.

[@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?!"

The original bumblebee was a yellow vw bug.

[@SoundStorm889]

2:11 They can basically transform into any device/vehicle, or even animals in the case of the Maximals and Predacons. I mean, in the comics there were even bots who turned into memory sticks and toasters, not to mention the orignal Soundwave being a cassette player

[@Kramers79]

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."
