My favorite thing about the show is when Ultra magnus T posed into the air

Yeah one of the best parts

[@PerspectiveEnd]

My favorite thing about the show is that it's over.

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Dr. Lockdown put it best in his video on Kingdom’s ending scene: “Don’t hate what you’re working on” or something to that effect. There is a big vibe that the creator of the show had open contempt for both the IP and the audience. And my complaints for the trilogy can be summed up with a question: “who is this for?” It’s too poorly written for older audiences, too reliant on G1/BW Nostalgia to make sense for younger audiences. And the nostalgia baiting is in such bad taste (either actively spiting or poorly recreating key scenes) that it only serves to push away hardcore fans. I ask again: “who is this show for?”

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't get that vibe, it just feels to me like the person making it had no clue what they were doing in any aspect. And yeah, that's a great question, who is it meant to appeal to, and the answer is no one, I don't even think this is the show the creator wanted.

[@Sbungo61]

exactly. To me this looks like a very bad attempt at reviving the original cartoon's premise while doing worse than the original cartoon. Seriously, is this something like for older fans or newer ones? The upcoming movie gives me the same confused vibes.

[@Drn_10]

When primal said "sorry we didn't tell you", that's a genius way to avoid people to think it wasn't script, yeah...

[@sidewireflame2949]

I really didn’t like what they did with Dinobot in this show, at least in Og beast wars Even after Dinobot defected he was still a total A hole, when he tried to usurp Optimus Primal as leader, but then became was still able to become a good person with his very Lancer role of the group, it’s a lot more interesting than him just defecting and being all good, which makes me wonder why he was a Predacon at start, It’s kinda weird Jet Fire and Dinobot felt reversed, especially with Jet Fires contribed sense of honor that he never had originally, and Dinobots more good nature seams to fit JetFire more

[@hashedpenguy9222]

In my opinion they made him more boring so they could fit his arc in the 3 episodes his really much more basic

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh yeah they straight messed him up, they are doing the same thing in the comics right now too. Dinobot was made of hard edges in the OG show, but I guess since they know everyone likes him, they decided that must mean he's a generic hero.

[@KRBrickBot]

Also, Rattrap's and Dinobot's Chopperface and Vermin exchange felt like 100% fan service that just comes out of the blue without context.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Absolutely. They didn't earn that, there was no work done to get there. It was done because the writer thought that's what he was supposed to put there.

[@hosiu714]

This is how TFP does his Prime better than this one Prime’s Optimus will negotiate, but he will kill him when he went too far

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah it's absurd how this version just completely refuses to do the right thing.

[@lucaticoclipes4503]

Two important things: Bumblebee noticed dead Elita One and didn't want Optimus to see it Also, IF time travel works in the way that it's explained, if Nemesis and Galvatron take the Allspark to their future they can use it to kill Unicron, leaving the Optimus and Megatron's reality to go on the same path as Nemesis and Galvatron. But if they let Cybertron be restored, their future as slaves would still exist. (And yes, before you ask me, i do believe it used to be a loop, where Nemesis and Galvatron take the allspark leaving Optimus and Megatron to go on the same path) Anyway, the show was enjoyable but pretty weird and flawed, that's the problem with time travel: You need establish the rules before you start using it

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't think you are right on either front. Elita was too far away for him to recognize as anything other than a corpse, and if they are abandoning Megatron, why are they trying to tempt him to help them?

[@lucaticoclipes4503]

@@PerspectiveEnd about Bumblebee: I think it was the case because he looks in the same direction Optimus goes (i know it's absurd but look at this show, i don't expect logic from these writers) and about Megatron: Idk, Megatron is kinda dumb in this xD You are completly right, Kingdom is more flawed than meets the eye

[@YTLadiesman217]

I agree about Bee seeing Elita because when he looks and sees her he says to prime “we…we should go” then starts walking away where prime looks and then sees elitas arm and runs to her. Even tho it’s definitely too far away😂 they portrayed it as he saw her

[@pandacyy2276]

I honestly really enjoyed the show, I felt like it embraced the stupidity and insanity and i had some good laughs and genuinely had a fun time watching it. For me, this trilogy is like the prequels, if you can sit through phantom menace and attack of the clones then you get a good time out of revenge of the sith.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't think it embraced them so much as it was just unwittingly them.

[@dexterdexter8208]

10:58 Is it me, or do I see Soundwave? I thought Dinobot killed him. If I'm wrong, then I guess that doesn't change the fact that the writers committed a war crime.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yes, and nope. That's him. There are other shots where he survived And yes they did.

[@hosiu714]

The Optimus Prime being confused as Nemesis Prime is just so f-in stupid.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh yeah it is.

[@Biodragon882]

I'm surprised you didn't bring up how Elita-One's body shouldn't exist at all. For one, she died in the middle of the coliseum and would have been completely incinerated by the blast. If anything, Chromia should have been who they found since she was the furthest from the blast.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I assumed that was working on the same logic as Earthrise, where Optimus and the Ark got exploded, but some how it didn't hurt them either.

[@robhurry8859]

Though one is late to the party, one wishes to point out is that the backstory of the Maximals and Predacons makes literally ZERO sense. It's explicitly noted that the Maximals and Predacons are from an alternate future where Optimus failed to return the Allspark to Cybertron, and that they are the last survivors. The problem with this is the fact that as we see in the series when Cybertron dies it is literally uninhabitable, there is literally no energon left, and since that the Allspark was established in Episode 5 to be dying due to being away from Cybertron for like, a week; it thus would mean that there would literally be no way the Maximals and Predacons could have been created if they are from the Autobots'/Decepticons' future, as the Maximals and Predacons could not have been born from the Allspark that was likely dead on Earth, which is as far as we're aware is the ONLY way for Cybertronian life to be created, How could the Maximals and Predacons be from a future where it is literally impossible for new Cybertronians to be born, let alone SOMEHOW get hold of the bullshit Golden Disk, or to still have the resources needed to build starships in order to leave the planet, OR be terrorized by Nemesis Prime and Galvatron to the point that even the Allspark itself mistakes Moronimus Prime for Nemesis?!? The more this show tries to makes sense, the greater the aneurysm.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh you are totally right, I completely forgot to bring that part up, I thought to mention how the Maximals were somehow still capable of Waging war but not how it's impossible they exist in the first place.

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

Megatron‘s arbitrary future vision was so frustrating. It felt like he knew everything he needed to know other than what he actually should have known. Also the fact that he waited until he’d let the Autobots to the Allspark to check how his future self found the Allspark is beyond stupid. That’d be like me finding out someone I want to meet lives in New York and not thinking to ask what their address was until I’d already flown to a completely random part of the state.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It was so insanely inconsistent. Nothing made sense about his ability to know the future.

[@mitchellbambam5926]

Only a year later I realize why Scorponok is the vehicon of this show. It’s because originally the show was gonna use the same plot points but with the 86 cast instead of Beast Wars. It’s so obvious! Galvatron would help Megs to save his own future, the several Scorponoks would be replaced by the Sweeps and in a surprise twist, maybe Cyclonus would somehow betray Galvatron. On top of this, replace the maximals with the 86 autobots. Most notably replacing Primal with Rodimus and Rhynox with Perceptor. Even replace Airrazor with Blurr and have them get spotted by Ravage instead of Lazerbeak. They could even have Kup, Jazz and Huffer replace Cheetos, Tigatron and Rattrap.

[@apolloknight9521]

Honestly, I think how this show would have improved is that if the show was given a length of 40-50 minutes. Each episode developing characters without it feeling rush and tell a story the Audience would find interesting, like what most Netflix shows were able to do with just a few episode like Sherlock for example. In my mind Siege should focus around the War of Cybertron. In some sense of Siege is suppose to be where Optimus is a novice commanding officer two episodes of 40-50 Minutes could be used to develop Optimus’ character and stuff that would make sense in a story point of view without it being nonsensical. Heck, better yet maybe siege could also show us a Decepticons perspective of the war, it would be interesting to see the perspective of both sides of the war instead of just focusing on the Autobots only. Also I would believe they could use this to develop Bumblebee’s character instead of the plot forcing things to happen to bumblebee. Earthrise, I should of course resolve around finding the Allspark but some episode could be used to show some tidbits of flashbacks of what Cybertron like before the war. Like they could give us a 10 minute flashback of what Cybertron was like and what life the Autobots and Decepticons have before the war of Cybertron and maybe showing us flashbacks where how Megatron rose to power and what caused this war to happen. Or something like that. As for Kingdom…. I don’t know what to say, I didn’t grow up or watch the Beast Wars cartoon and I don’t know what else say. But yeah, that is all I can say.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Problem is they were never going to get that. Hasbro was too cheap to spend more on the show. They really needed to do away with the Alsaprk and the Matrix they were just millstones around the serries neck. They only made the show more convoluted and it splits the focus. A war narrative is good enough, without a double quest to retrieve an ancient artifact to save a world from evil badguys from the future.

Looking back at it, this trilogy has a lot in common with the Star Wars sequel trilogy. 1. Both had great potential to give fans exactly what they've been begging for years and both wasted said potential. 2. Both started out with a relatively good first part but failed miserably in the second part and the third/last part essentially ignores the entire second part. 3. Both completely butchered beloved fan favorite characters.

[@tanmaykokkula6211]

I'm actually glad they didnt revive the Cybertron team because imo it would've just been a waste to kill them off just to revive them later, I think they made a whole point to show them die so that they could come back in the finale to dust Nemesis and Galvatron and disappear again, which they could've just made , Unicron do, 7:50, I think Soundwave had some sort of sound blast in Transformers 3 which I think is a cool weapon for soundwave, just wished they showed him use it more, 11:41 they imply Nemisis Prime made the ravine in the ground not that he made the Allspark tower, and also I cant believe they put a statue of Cog, out of everyone who died, Cog, what about Elita-1?

I think that was just supposed to be like the Grunts of each war, not necessarily representations of individual people. But did they make those in like the 10 seconds since the war ended. Where did they get the material those things are MASSIVE and how is it already covered in snow?

[@rahiddun01]

I have no idea about how they wrote the Trilogy, they make Earthrise went slow and as the impact, Siege and Kingdom got rushed af. And because of it, they just giving us more confusion and question. When G1 is dumb in funny way, this show just dumb in the worst way. I never want to see Rooster give a touch anymore. But sure the sequel about Multiverse has very high chance since TF Cyberverse is doing the familiar thing, but i hope they won't make the same mistake like hiring the wrong people again.

[@warriorking4ever]

I'm grateful for videos like this for giving me a heads up before subjecting myself to garbage tier reboots of classic shows I still hold near and dear to me, so thanks for enduring this drivel so we don't have to PerspectiveEnd. That being said, it sounds like poor Dinobot continues the trend began in the past seasons, in which we're expected to already know who these new interpretations of classic characters are & what they're all about, but are given VERY little reason to care about them before & after they die onscreen. I wasn't saddened by the loss of Magnus in season 1, I was annoyed that they wasted any and all potential said classic character might have had by throwing him away so soon & for such a stupid reason, as if Megatron was someone you could reason & barter with after he had already driven the planet to ruin. Also, I've watched other reviews discussing what was done to Megatron, Predacon Megatron, MY FAVORITE Megatron...Sweet Primus, even Scorponok doesn't kiss ass & grovel as much as this version of MEGS does! Its as if Lugnut from Transformers Animated swapped bodies with BW Megatron at some point, meaning somewhere in the multiverse a VERY confused TFA Megatron is being overthrown by the one con he NEVER would have expected treachery from XD. The voice and personality are ALL WRONG, I could understand BW Megatron feeling excited to meet his original namesake & potentially use his arrival to his advantage, join forces to defeat the Maximals once and for all etc, but he wouldn't just bend the knee & suck up to him every chance he got like it was his lifelong dream to become his sidekick or something. I could picture him forming an alliance with G1 Megs, or even PRETENDING to be his loyal righthand con (a replacement for Starscream & Shockwave), but not to such a degrading degree and ONLY until his usefulness to him was over, at which point he'd seize command for himself & either do away with G1 Megs to remove a potential rival to his position, OR would send him back through time by whatever means necessary to ensure the eventual rise of the predacons wouldn't be affected by his initial disappearance from the original timeline. BW Megatron is just as strong willed & power-hungry as G1 Megatron, neither of them would be satisfied with playing a secondary role to someone else in the long run, even if it was to their ancestor or descendant etc, sooner or later, any mutual respect between the two would fade away in the face of their personal desires to be the one and only Megatron left standing & in command, unless both Megs agreed to return to their respective timelines or whatever to avoid said inevitable conflict or any potential time paradoxes. The idea of the two Megs working together is interesting obviously, but not like this, it really comes across like those involved had NO love or respect for BW Megatron despite him being the most popular villain of that era of Transformers.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Absolutely. Every character is so lacking in personality there is no reason to give half a crap about them they don't function to endear you to the character they are just walking exposition machines. Magnus did get wasted a little harder than Dinobot, but yeah he was such a rushed and degraded duplicate of the character we love it's pathetic. Personally I would assume that BW Megatron would sooner Overthrow the G1 guy than work with him. Any friendliness would be an act on the way to that goal.

[@harmlessdan]

My biggest gripe with this trilogy is the allspark and the matrix. In the 86 movie the matrix is basically just a power generator, can give the bearer a power up and when open it have enough energy to destroy Unicron, it's basic and it makes sense. In most depictions of the allspark, it mostly just has the ability of granting life, any other power it has is activated by the holder otherwise it's useless on its own. Here, they're whatever the writers want them to be, have powers that are never established in the show itself just so the writers can asspull whatever they want.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Absolutely, and how moronic is it that it's basically a quest to get your ball back from the neighbors yard. Optimums throws it and goes and immediately retrieves it.

[@hickettsisepic989]

7:53 never that specificity I don’t think, but in G1 I think he could do basically the same thing but from his legs

[@dexterdexter8208]

These are the most obvious and unforgivable flaws: Bumblebee still doesn't transform. Starscream was holding his Null Ray like a handheld weapon which is just blasphemy. And they killed off Soundwave. I probably shouldn't let my inner Soundwave fanboy take over, but I feel like the writers just committed a war crime.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh there's a ton I didn't cover cause it wasn't important enough to the story.

[@reyonXIII]

I know you don't like Prime....but I get the impression this is making Prime look like a masterpiece for the ages. This is REALLY coasting on nostalgia for Beast Wars. The only thing I legit liked is the IDEA of Nemesis Prime being a Unicronian Optimus and Galvatron's fellow slave. Looking at this, I'm kind of honestly glad Elita's presence prior to the movie is not mentioned since her episode was made and aired during its production to justify Arcee's existence and presence. Coz while her fate's perfectly clear...let's just say I'm sick of these kinds of fridging. Elita's never gotten any break in media, and for a character that's supposed to be very important to our frequent main character, she gets shafted SOOOOO much both in stories and toys. I think that's why I'm so fixated on the general character of Elita One to the point some have called an obsession. The partial hope that she gets a respectable toy AND respectable role that doesn't involve being fridged.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I wouldn't say that it's making prime look like a masterpiece, but it does put into stark contrast, what it's like when you have a good cast and voice direction, because my internal organs don't scream in agony at every word. I don't even know what they were thinking by Nuking the Secondary cast it was such a moronic thing to do.

[@eyywannn8601]

I can kinda excuse sending Airazor as a bait by saying this was after they decided to ally with the Autobots and the order was just issued off-screen. I really love how they really didn’t care about Dinobot’s body after he died lmao. One glaring issue I had was how arbitrary the Allspark is at determining allies. Why the pointless fight with Prime in the first place? Why did Prime have to give the Matrix to Megs to unlock the Allspark? I think what they implied was that Nemesis made the trench thing around the building not the building itself. I also hate how Galvatron and Nemesis couldn’t just cooperate with the others AFTER the Allspark healed Cybertron. Makes no goddamn sense. Also also, I like how everything is regarded as resolved at the end even though the war broke out BEFORE the Allspark was even a thing they thought real! The show is garbage but at least it wasn’t Earthrise.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh my God, me and my brother had such a laugh at Dinobots corpse's expense when they just left him there. I don't know, considering the building was the Allspark, why couldn't it just kick Megatron out and let Optimus in at will. But they said "This building wasn't here before." and they were like "Someone must have brought it here" as Nemesis Stepped out. At least it wasn't Earthrise.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The simple fact of the matter is that's cause they were Lazy. Making CGI models is hard and they didn't want to do it for the Earth modes because they wouldn't be different enough.

[@zacharyzwickl5860]

Honestly Hasbro first mistake was trusting the smucks at Roosterteeth to make something competent that isn't RWBY or at lest a series that was better than Transformer Energon. There are some people online that stated some of the ester eggs to Beast Wars were deep in how well someone had to know Beast Wars to get, even though they weren't. Like they watered down Dinobot's character arc and took out any of the story elements or time to get attached to him that made it worked in Beast Wars. I am surprised that who ever from Roosterteeth kept Airzor a female instead of making her a flamboyant male as a "reference" to the Japanese dub of Beast Wars while doubling down by saying that adding a gay/trans character would make the more diverse. I do think King was better than Siege or Earthrise, but I don't think it was a good series.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I think they get too much blame for this, because they don't seem to do anything. This was written by Hasbros writers, Cast and Directed by complete nobodies, and Animated by the company that made Prime.

so at the end of G1 -season 4- Cybertron was reborn into a golden age. It was pretty cool watching Cybertron go from a deadish thing to a golden planet of light. So why did we not get that at the end of Kingdom? A pullaway shot showing the planet coming to life like a wave of light revealing cybertronians waking as if from a deap sleep or new cybertronians coming out of doors or something. Something other than a planet with snow. btw if you didnt know water is an extreamly rare element on cybertron. Water kinda freaks out some cybertronians because it is so diffrent. So why was there so much snow? i might have to do a video on the trilogy now because this series kinda pissed me off. Why did Primal have to come from the same timeline? Why he couldnt be from another idk? Also Beast Megatron's voice actor was a POS POS POS POS only ONE "Yes" The voice actor didnt even try to speak like Beast Megatron. Beast Megatron giving up his name? I dont think so. But this one was a sniviling shnark like creature whom i only felt anger against. wtf was this? You name yourself after the man who killed your planet? Wtf no silverbolt to temp arachnia into the light side? wtf why can we not just have one giant robot fighting another giant robot? In every season we have had giant robots fighting little robots.

@@PerspectiveEnd netflix is very good at offering 'audio discription' check it out. The part that upsets me about the WfC discriptions is that they were lazy as hell. They didnt name as many bots as i wanted them to. part of the fun of a transformers series is finding the background characters. Also for a series as dark as this I was trying to keep a tally on the death and wounded. But audio discription kept saying stufflike "multiple autobots lay wounded in the hall." WTF?! Just about every bot has a name these days so it wouldnt have been much effort to say something like "Huffer, Smokescreen, and Hotshot lay wounded in the hall." That would have been cool. people seem to overlook the blind alot. Yes it is read to me now, but it is lacking in depth and also was paired with a terrible show. Damn i had such high hopes for WfC. Maybe the Golden Disk stuff won't be so trashy and heavily edited? O and I can hear most of the editing breaks. I am certain that there is a directors cut that has many more episodes.
