Someone once made a comparison about how D-16 won over the High Guard by putting himself above them, while Orion won over the miners by kneeling down to their level. It's a very impactful parallel.

[@brandonloh9500]

@@entityglitch8429 not entirely G1 but the concept and design

[@fraser7211]

A very different take from the caste system of the original concept, where Decepticons were all Gladiators/warriors and Autobots were all Miners/builders/workers. They freed themselves from the Quintessions who built them but fundamentally believed in a different Cybertron because of how they were programmed. As an OG transformer fan, am really happy with this reinterpretation. It gives us a very personal story where D-16 and Orion Pax are in the same place and showing how their journey divides them into who they are. It makes it even more of a tragedy and resonates more with the audience than that original concept. I was legit sad during the scenes leading up to them becoming their final forms.

[@themadman4062]

“I’m not kneeling in front of you.” Definitely one of my favorite versions of Megatron. Prime, War, and Fall of Cybertron definitely up there tho.

Fun fact. The musical composer of this film, Brian Tyler, also did the music for the show _"Transformers Prime"_ (which is amongst one of the better _TF_ shows). And while he doesn't necessarily reuse the main theme of that show for this movie, he does use a cue from the show as this movie's theme for the Primes.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Ohhhh no way, that's awesome!! Brian Tyler has been on my (Denise) list of favorites for a while now and once again, he killed it in this one too!

And once he did it, he still wanted more, and tried to destroy everything he build and kill everyone who followed him. It obviously is terrible, but you can actually feel him, feel his pain! I thought I was gonna cry on that moment! Truly, an amazing experience!

(Listen to Peter Cullen's voice. The OG voice actor for Optimus Prime from 1984 to 2024. His voice acting and tone of it is legendary.)

[@sabergamer6553]

OH MY GOD!! I've been meaning to watch this movie for a while. THIS ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY!! The animation was fantastic, loved how deep it went into Optimus and Megatron's relationship. I don't know if you guys heard this but the music that was playing when Orion became Optimus is actually a song made for the primes. Love the details and everything, this was truly an amazing experience and sharing it with you guys made it a thousand times better. The transformers movies have been a huge part of my childhood and I'm hoping you guys can eventually get to all those movies. If there's one main suggestion that I wanna make, you guys have to check out the transformers prime show, best thing ever. I need to say this as well, I've been watching movies with my family for a long time and nothing feels better than sitting down and watching a movie with you two, its like you're sitting there with me the whole time and it completely uplifts the experience. I appreciate you guys so much and I'm so happy to be a supporter for you guys. You've brought me through some tough times recently so. Sorry for the long ass comment 😂 I ramble. Love you guys, loved this reaction and this amazing movie and can't wait till the next one! ❤

[@AkaiAkuma_]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Great reaction really really enjoyed it, also after their first fight don’t know if you two caught it but before Optimus banished Megatron what makes their separation even more heart breaking is you can see dried tear streaks on Megatron’s face

[@TheMahaChannel]

My favorite detail about this movie is when D fights Starscream for the first time, he grabs his throat and crushes his voice box, making him talk with a high pitch gravely voice

[@Sp4rtanRage]

That's becuz Screamer has a high pitch voice as well in G1 TF show. A nice call back to that detail about starscream.

[@ChristinaThatch]

It's actually brilliant because now whenever Starscream talks It's a permanent reminder that he got his ass beaten. I especially love that Megatron is naive to power dynamics, but his naive sincerity is what what ended up ruling the day over Starscreams clear-eyed understanding of said power dynamics. Starscream future faked, and it took someone who didn't understand the consequences to stand up to him. Starscream appears to have a firm grasp on his situation and is bowing down for now, but you know he's gonna plot and scheme to take power back. I would actually love to see their relationship, one based purely on power right now, develop into a mixture of hatred and begrudging respect on Starscreams part. I would love to see a conflict in the next movie where Starscream is given the chance to save Megatron or stand back and let him die, and he is stuck between the two options.

[@AbsoluteHero42]

Megatrons' story is so real/true/felt/strong. Love how his eyes slow turn from bright yellow to a deeper organe as he progresses further with his rage. Building, slowly growing burning within then boom bright red. Both actors did an amazing job of transitioning from their own unique voice to the almost vintage og voices.

[@ernestoivandiazgutierrez6977]

This is THE best Transformer movie ever made, because it stands on its own using the whole lore of the franchise, you can literally use it as a prequel of almost every present story where the bots arrive to Earth. The transformation of Orion and D-16 to Optimus and Megatron is just perfect, the parallels are perfect, and just to add more emotion to the scene...when Optimus voice breaks saying his friend betrayed him, you can see that MEGATRON WAS CRYING realizing all he just did, but the rage against the name "Prime" took over him again...man, that´s just heartbreaking.

[@CatalystGP]

Their bromance is so sad because of how it ends up, they seemed so inseparable.. Also, D-16 technically kept his promise of killing Orion if they survived the race at the end of the film when he fatally shoots Orion. Also also, I saw someone point out that the only reason D-16 snapped and became Megatron is because he's unable to take responsibility for his own actions, it's always the fault of someone else. He couldn't admit that his actions are the reason that Orion got shot, and because of that being unable to take responsibility he was "done saving" Orion and snapped.

[@spinxz_314]

Megatrons eyes slowly turning red from the moment they get to their cogs to the line I'm done saving you was done so well.

[@EdgyZiggy]

For real. A detail I didn't notice until like.. my third viewing is how the background gets darker when he's holding Orion and it becomes like a blue ish hue when he has the red eyes. Very cool detail that makes the audience focus more on the VERY glowy red eyes

[@PDC1987]

Paramount could not have dropped the ball on this film’s marketing any worse if they tried. It’s already considered one of the biggest Hollywood studio blunders of the year. The film is incredible, and the animation is beautiful.

It’s a testament to the quality of the writing AND the VO acting that even though we all knew Pax and D-16 were going to end the movie as enemies, we were all still shocked and heartbroken when the moment arrived. They really had to earn that moment, and they fully did.

[@Shax22132]

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned." -William Congreve D-16/Megatron is tragic example of that quote in action. He had so much respect and admiration for Sentinel, only to find out it was all a lie and that Sentinel was behind all the suffering D-16 and the other miners endured, not to mention the wider consequences for their planet as a whole. So rage and hatred quickly consume D-16/Megatron; he starts by wanting to expose Sentinel, march him in chains through the city, and leave him to die in darkness. Then he wants to kill Sentinel personally, then everything with Sentinel's image on it, then all his supporters, and finally everyone that Megatron perceives as being against him. And in the end, Megatron will become a bigger tyrant that Sentinel ever was, and destroy far more as well.

[@Ozai75]

The ending scene where they brand themselves with the Decepticon logo is doubly awesome because the laser blasts from the former High Guard (Among other Transformers) are all purple, which is reflected onto the Decepticon logo which was, like shown with Megatronus Prime's sticker, Purple.

[@GregPrice-ep2dk]

It was a nice homage to G1 too.

[@MisterRubiksCube]

48:53 The crazy thing is that in this moment D-16 wasn't actually talking to Orion when he said "Why did you do that, why?" But instead he was talking to himself(This was according to the official script of TFONE btw), just goes to show that he's slowly losing his mind and Megatron is slowly taking over

[@Koujujutsu]

Love this! Thank you so much for reacting to this. Almost no one is talking about this movie. One of the few hits of this year! It's really interesting and well done. Also, this is a revision of the original story. The Quintessons built Cybetron as a massive factory. All Cybertronians were service robots/slaves. Robot means slave. Autobots were for domestic use. Decepticons were for military solutions. They rebelled against the Quintessons and expelled them. But eventually turned on each other because Decepticons only know authoritarianism and Autobots wanted co-existence. D16 was a gladiator and Orion Pax a factory worker before over throwing their masters. I still LOVE this fresh take. Transformers One has a great message. It's almost as if Hollywood really wanted to make a good movie this time. Crazy.

[@Lakerfanforlife]

They did but unfortunately it was simply too late people almost don’t give af anymore with transformers

[@Falcun21]

Something everybody misses is that Elita does a nosestand when in her bike form when she's going after Airachnid that is identical to Black Widow's nosestand on the bike in Age of Ultron and Optimus does the Henry Cavill arm reload right before unleashing his flamethrowers.

D-16 or Megatronus was a gladiator champion in the pits of Kaon.

[@DarksideGmss0513]

And I find it interesting that it's Alpha Trion that they find and awaken because among the Primes he was known as The Chronicler he knew the past of Cybertron.

[@fredskull1618]

One thing I noticed was when Megatron/D-16 calls Optimus/Orion “Prime” for the first time, it has the tone of a slur, because we know now how much Megatron loathes the idea of Primes. It retroactively colors every interaction the two bots have in all the other Transformers media. It’s not just Megatron calling Optimus “Prime” for short. He’s saying it as an insult.

[@milkiassamuel780]

Paramount truly failed this movie during its theatrical run in cinemas because the trailers and marketing truly did not do this fantastic movie enough justice. This movie is arguably the *BEST TRANSFORMERS MOVIE MADE* and everything from the animation, the story/world building, the music, the action and choreography, and of course the great voice acting truly made this my favourite movie of the year. I especially have to give praise to Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry's excellent performances as Optimus and Megatron as they really embodied both their respective characters so well and made you genuinely believe Orion and D-16's friendship and how close they were but the moment the truth is revealed to them both their perspectives have changed but in different directions as you can understand both of their beliefs but the tragedy of their downfall is all the more heartbreaking. It's truly remarkable how this origin helps recontextualizes almost every form of Transformers media giving audiences a deeper understanding of why Optimus and Megatron are enemies, how the Autobots and Decepticons began, what led to the Civil War on Cybertron and so much more. We desperately need a sequel because one guy on Twitter did more promotion and sold this movie better than Paramount ever did. A story this good deserves a trilogy and regardless of the box office results, the amount of overwhelming love from both critics and audiences, hopefully this influences Paramount to give this movie the sequel it deserves

yeah but in DOTM, at least Sentinel has a semi-decent motive, his entire planet was ravaged by the Autobot and Decepticon War, he simply wants to restore it to it's former glory the issue is that he views his race as superior to humans in EVERY single way, to him; worrying about our needs is like worrying about the wellbeing of the ants, pigeons and other wild animals in an area where you're planning on putting a city... he says "F**k these animals, they aren't important!"

Yeah, what defines a Transformer is the Spark in his core, while his T-Cog taps to his personality and defines his power, strength and artillery!

25:22 when the og theme starts playing I literally cried at that moment exile watching the film

[@SaintPaul-bp3qr]

I discovered your channel with the Deadpool and Wolverine reaction and really loved it! Especially the girl (I don’t know her name) is really awesome and expressive when she reacts so I was looking forward to your reaction to this! Needless to say, subbed and can’t wait to see what you guys react to next!

[@transformandgobricks7820]

I love how in this universe, Megatronus Prime is not a traitor to the other primes.

17:13 I don’t think they were ever going to Sentinel’s personal service facility based on this line at 42:39 where the miners were told they died from their injuries during the race.

[@tjmoon5858]

Even though it's not a prequel to any films or shows it still hits hard especially with most iterations of Optimus and Megatron stating that they were brothers in arms before being sworn enemies "We were brothers once" - Megatron "Once" - Optimus Prime 🥲

"You have neither THE TOUCH nor THE POWER" LOL IYKYK

[@tonyhuang3055]

This movie 's action is perfect. The way each transformers use their vehicle parts in a fight scene like starscream using his jet rocket in megatron's face, airachnid using her helicopter spinning thing to block the gun and megatron transforming his lego to kick starscream and his cannon to hit optimus in the face and even dodging attacks like optimus prime in the final fight

[@syabilaazri7834]

You not wrong about the Hero Journey, i think the reason why it so easy to watch this movie is that you can map out the Hero Journey of this movie. You can really tell how Orion Pax and D-16 going to become Optimus Prime and Megatron and it was heartbreaking even if you what going to come....

[@boyscouts83712]

I wasn't sure about seeing this Transformers movie in theaters after so many had been made, but now I regret NOT seeing it. The origin stories is incredible and to painfully see how Megatron's and Optimus Prime's friendship came to it's end

[@judgem0rt1s23]

You can really tell that this movie was made with a lot of love and respect for the fans. All the little callbacks to the G1 Transformers cartoon are such a delight.

[@MegaP12im3]

1:22 that being said Hollywood should hire more voice actors like Tara Strong Gary chalk David Kaye Peter Cullen Frank Welker and many more just cash grab names great talent out there

[@alphaverse26]

Ok? But this voice cast did amazing work so atleast appreciate them

[@MegaP12im3]

@alphaverse26 darkwing yes Megatron yes ..bumblebee yes ...Optimus meh Elita Meh

[@Mike-mf3ed]

8:07 Orion got “two pieces…”

[@ethantcartier]

Bruh...

[@AidantheLegend]

YES!! This is one of the best movies I've ever watched. Story, animation, voice acting gets extra ticks, and the SOUNDTRACK ohmygodthesoundtrack

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha ohmygodthesoundtrack sounds about right because we loved it too!! Hope you enjoy the reaction!

[@Dave1507]

Apropos animated movies, have you seen Rango? It's a bit older, but really worth the watch.

[@ChipCrisper]

This movie officially wrecks me. Every time i watch I break down sobbing. It's the best Transformers film of all time

[@Wyattoons]

So many great little details. Like how D/Megatron’s eyes change both color and intensity. When Orion says “don’t be like Sentinel”, you can see some of the red slowly appear in the center. Then when he’s in full rage mode not only do the eyes turn red but the rest of the socket glows red. And then that glow disappears when Optimus banished him. When it truly hits that they are no longer friends.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Just got done watching the interview with the rejects. I've been watching y'all for a while now, but just happy for you two and hope you gain some more subscribers from their channel if they end up enjoying your content. Speaking of animated movies, I highly recommend The Wild Robot to be put on the list (replaced Inside Out 2 as my best animated film this year by a wide margin). Keep doing you! I haven't seen this movie so can't watch the reaction yet, so just sending love your way.

[@klasyk1532]

Just saw this and it BLEW ME AWAY from my expectations! Love you guys and sure this will be a great reaction!... Got your interview with Gregg cued up for later today! ROCK ON Mediaknights!!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We had suuuch a good time with this movie, hope you enjoy our reaction! Also yay haha thank youuu, we loved doing that interview with Greg, it was a blast!

[@TheBadCarpaccio]

Darkwing when both of the new major leaders of this war were the bots he treated as punching bags 💀

[@Greggers1516]

I also like it showed how different D and Orion lead. Megatron got his following from violence and anger and Orion got it from Inspiring through calm leadership. Love it

[@danawilkinson4362]

Thank you both for the gift of who you are Love, Hugs, Laughs & Blessings

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Holy crap, this is the kindest comment, you just brightened our day! Thank you for your support and we're so happy to have you with us on our journey!

[@transformandgobricks7820]

After seeing that final battle in the movie, at the cinema, I had to change my pants! It was amazing! I absolutely love how they use their ability to Transform in fights, showing that when it comes to fighting, they have almost no limits!

[@Soulprime13]

i love your reaction channel and i loved seeing you watch this movie. tf one is now my 2nd fav movie, only behind the original jurassic park from 93. was a real treat

[@wingzero7X]

Watched the movie just now so I want to see your reaction now. GOD watching this friendship crash the way it did hurt, but seeing Ds hatred becoming Megatron, I have never related to the guy this much

[@spinxz_314]

This movie was so good! The comedy was just enough. The action was great!! I just really wish it would have been live action but I'm sure animation was cheaper than cgi.

[@spudmuffin2688]

For those who haven’t read the comics. Shockwave kills Elita, who became Optimus’s love interest. Do with that what you will. 😘

[@angelomanuel3901]

Bee steals the show! HAHA. This is the Best Transformers movie for me.
