I love this channel so much, you make the Bayverse actually make sense, and make it more than just explosions and robots killing each other! Keep up the good work, man!!!

[@sashabraus9422]

I really like the Bayformers twist on Cybertronians, since they seem more "techno-organic" than the aligned continuity and the IDW continuity. It'll also make sense as to why parental figures are mentioned in the films, even If they don't reproduce. When a new sparkling Is hatched, they could have been adopted by an older transformer who raises them and takes care of them. Of course they wouldn't be "fathers," but because they're speaking English they're just using the best next thing.

Also, I like jetfires line "do you know what he transformed into? NOTHING!!!"

[@Butter_upman]

Unpopular opinion the bay verse is better than the aligned

Am i the only one who liked transformers 1 to 4 but couldn't get myself to watch the last knight

In astrochemistry, and astrobiology. A Transformer would be considered “silicon-based life” as they have cables, microchips, metals, etc. same for current technologies in electronics

"Ironhide landing in a pool then being asked if he was the toothfairy" I love that scene

[@ayeletkuellar72]

I really wish studio series would make a protoform figure

How high can an F-22 go?

The whole cyberglyphics thing on all Transformers is possibly the #1 most consistent thing Michael Bay has ever done in his life.

That very last segment made me realize & cement a belief I’ve had about (TF4) Lockdown. He really is the odd man out. The only part of his body that seems to have Cybertronian markings on him is his ammo cartridges and grenades; parts of him that aren’t necessarily a part of him. The markings on his face around his scar is more akin to Sanskrit (And boy was it tricky to emulate in the cosplay I built where I first noticed this detail about him 😬) this really makes it seem like he has separated himself from his Cybertronian heritage in another way than just him being “factionless.”

Protoforms were such an interesting idea for Transformers, the 2007 movie really wanted to make Cybertronians much more “alien” in design and I really love it.

[@Kuippana]

I always loved the protoforms. Such a pity there was never any high quality figures of them.

[@ryaquaza3offical]

That little fact at the end about Cybertronian markings was super interesting and definitely something I’m going to keep my eye out for from now on

[@Jesse_2302]

Huge respect for you man, you’re here analysing the movies instead of criticising. Literally gave me a brand new perspective of the movies.

[@michaelmckinnon1591]

I always figured that Quintessa was using psychological torture against Optimus Prime and Lockdown was preparing Optimus Prime for Quintessa

[@TristenSarelvun]

I always knew the 2007 'Bots being protoforms was just so the film-makers didn't need to make/modify models to represent their Cybertronian robot forms (most TF shows either just slightly modify or straight-up use the Earth modes, irritatingly but understandably). But your explanation that they need to shed their parts down to a protoform to enter meteor mode is pretty cool and really ties that up.

This is by far my favourite video to date!
