Trigger Warning: This film contains scenes of suicide and depression that may be uncomfortable for some viewers.

[@monstermat]

Is this a teaser for Roll out 4

[@RialVestro]

You might want to consider putting that at the top of the video description. I didn't scroll down to read the comments till after watching the video and didn't see this warning. I think a lot of people avoid looking at the comments section first in case there's spoilers down here but are more likely to see it if it's in the video description.

[@TFICreations]

@@RialVestrowill do! Thank you.

[@monstermat]

@@TFICreations is this a hint of a roll out 4

[@TheCakesCup26]

I really appreciate the warning. Thank you.

Bros opening a whole Pandora’s box of possibilities and emotions for everyone but good short film 👍

[@aidenmarch3447]

That last shot kills me every time.💔

[@83Caesar83]

This definitely happened in an alternate world

[@Bailey-e3o]

Considering that in gigawatt vector prime spoke of the multiverse, and now you have done a alternate timeline storyline, does that mean you're going to do a multiverse film ?

[@Bots_Obsession]

Having not seen the Roll Out trilogy, I went into this blind and I wasn't ready. I've been in First Aid's shoes a few times and the subject matter here was handled extremely respectfully and personally. Incredible writing, videography, acting, everything. This got me bawling. Great Job, TFI

[@punctureproductions1497]

SAM! I TOLD YOU I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS!!!!! I'm literally in my tears! 😭

[@lorenzolopezdesoche4017]

8:49 TFI is cooking something up with that shattered glass and Gigawatt appearing everywhere, I can feel it.

[@darthrage1583]

It is really a great what if story. It is quite emotional. This was the big question if Hot Spot dies, what would happen to the Protctobots what would happen to First Aid. You have done well making this story. Really love it.

[@Shadow_22437]

Quite short, but emotional. Now we know what would've happened if hotspot drove off that cliff. Amazing job.

[@SockyStudios]

I have to say, the voice acting in this particular video hits HARD. I cannot overstate the kudos everyone deserves, especially Samuel Jay Flatman. The emotion I felt from *that* scene was greater than that of many large scale productions, where billions of dollars are spent to ensure quality. The writing of this is also terrifyingly, bone-chillingly good. I can tell that the subjects of this story are from deep within the heart, it most definitely shows. Everyone behind this, and the rest of the Roll Out series, has done a phenomenal job in making this series's mark on the Transformers community in a way that no other project has ever done, or possibly will ever do. Peter Cullen was absolutely right, "Our world needs you. That takes guts." And I'd be willing to bet everything that many others, like me, are glad you're here.

[@TFICreations]

You’ve almost brought me to tears with this comment. I’ve suffered with severe depression for over a decade and finally coming to terms with it allowed me to create the roll out series. My inner feelings were written out in hotspot and first aid, and I try my best to take the negative emotions inside and turn them into something positive. Thank you for this.

This is absolutely amazing and so sad. I’ve been a Roll out fan since I saw the first Roll Out came out! Seeing this New adaptation after all this time brings me so much joy!!!! Can’t believe it’s been about 5-6 years since the first one was released

[@y0ur_l0cal_rand0m2]

I feel so bad for hotspot…what he has been through over 3 ROLL OUT videos… I just feel so bad for him try to kill himself being so insecure losing his friend

[@BrickStudio11]

The what if we desperately needed all seriousness this might actually be one of my favorite films you’ve made this year!

[@deltathevelociraptor2940]

I… this was very emotional. This was very, and I mean VERY relatable. I sometimes think what would happen if I was gone, but also wished for a person I grew so close to at work to stay on this Earth, to see how much he would’ve seen me grow as a person I was today. You really captured the imagination on how this would have been on both sides of the story… well done TFI, well done. Thank you

Bro, having been in Hot Spot's place once, this struck a nerve i really have been struggling with for a lot of years, the idea, the acting, *EVERYTHING* made this a masterpiece episode, thank you for what you do, no likes are ever gonna be enough to tell you how much this evoked Btw: does anyone know the name of the song that comes in at 8:48 ?

[@D-Money21]

Jesus H….I knew this film was gonna hit the emotions hard, but I didn’t expect the punch would be THIS HARD! The voice acting of Sam as First Aid is so friggan RAW, and the somber yet uplifting mood that really gets me. We all look upon choices we made in the past and ask what could’ve happened, but in the end, all we can do is move forward with the choices we’ve made and the tragedies we’ve been through. For First Aid and Hotspot, they live on for each other, like how I live on for my mother. Till all are one, Sam.

hi TFI, I'm a huge fan of your work, I recently found out that a solar eclipse is happening tomorrow and wanted to ask if you could make a video about it, like have the decepticons try to harness it's power or something like that. If you do make something like that, it would be super cool.

[@CC-Cobalt-1043]

This is so good

[@DBWalks2010]

Fantastic video! Just beautiful 👍👍😎😎💙💙

[@Predalnhntr]

This almost made tear up

[@RoyKoopa9949]

This was very emotional Sam. Someday if you decide to do another Roll Out trilogy, I think it would be awesome if Hot Spot and First Aid from their respective timelines were to meet. It may finally give Hot Spot some closure and I think it would be a good direction for their character development. Awesome film! This series has come so far and is everything I’ve ever wanted it to be and more. I hope it is for you too!

[@cesarsolis5737]

I tear just came out

[@optimusfnaf6]

8:48 I just love this sense so much it makes me think of shattered glass of transformers and this really puts a lot more depth of how much hotspot and first aid really cared for each other

[@Optimusloveselita1]

Amazing

[@ark5076]

This is great! Your work continues to to impress me! With this I wonder if you're going to make a film were they cross paths again. Maybe something that involves gigawatt!? I don't know if you're done with roll out, but I would love to see a continuation. I think there's a little more story with the protectobots!

[@marcesteban8694]

OMG, such a drama bomb, seeing Hot Spot didn’t have a moment to think, thoughts on this being a “What If” scenario.

[@DecepticonScout]

People think "extinguishing your own spark" is the easiest way out. But it's not, you do that and you actually do more harm to others. Think about that.

[@jwatchcraft5564]

Damn. that hits hard. And why do I get this feeling it'll build up to something bigger?

[@martinmillow1298]

Hotspot is survived. But what happens if the trucks are drive of the cliff and cars are crashed? Pinewood builders also call PET Firetruck is ready to response for now.

[@VampireQueen1665]

The voice acting is amazing, and the whole story is just so sad and interesting.

[@SwirlyJester49]

It's only been out 2 days and already I've watched it a bunch of times, and seeing the parallel of Hot Spot and First Aid at the end always brings me to tears. Also, I think it would be interesting to see that First Aid's story. Sure we got a summary of it, but I can't help but wonder what else went differently.

[@rwchannel8832]

Hot Spot and First Aid: The Leaders that appear once every century……..

[@blastacakeboy2095]

A welcome, but emotional surprise! Such lovely story crafting, and i sense a multiversal crossover coming in the future.

[@BensProductions]

Interesting but could that be for a certain sequel that has to do with the multiverse????

[@TYGUY321Films]

Great! As if I didn’t already cry enough during the main trilogy, we get this deep look into Hot Spot’s guilt-racked thoughts about if he went through with his suicide and if it would have kept First Aid alive…and now I’m sobbing like a mad man. I love “What If?” scenarios like this, and so seeing the characters facing wildly different circumstances is interesting to think about and witness. The characters are just as amazingly written, the effects and sets look great, the music is just as somber as it should be, and it just makes me feel bad for that version of First Aid that would have suffered too much thanks to the deaths of Tricatomus and Hot Spot. It’s like…just when you think it’s over, more of the characters we grew to love seem to find a way back to tell more amazing stories and I will never ever complain about that! I’d say this a 5 time Roll Out winning streak you’re on, well done guys!

[@SuperiorNova]

Is this First Aid going to meet up with our Hot Spot? If so how are you gonna make them react? (Don’t you dare do it to where we all cry)

What if hot spot died in roll out 1

[@themaximusbumblebee7098]

Damn that really hit me hard emotionally what if he ran off the cliff what if he never got to become a prime that was some deep stuff you should do a special transformers what if series like what if sentinel prime never betrayed the autobots and actually told them or what if the human alliance never fell apart

Hey Samuel Jay Flatman, nice work on the new Roll Out film series man. The fan film is about "What If, Hot Spot dies in the cliff and First Aid lead the Autobots." It's just like in Marvel Studios: What If - TV Series in MCU.

[@jay-rafaelbelleza8123]

Samuel Jay Flatman of TFI Creations, i just want to say that this is a best performance you voice role as First Aid from Roll Out Trilogy fan films. These voice actors would have made the fan films so much better. But you need to have a clear version of your emotions to keep moving forward. Your friend, Jay Belleza. A big fan of your work for Transformers stop motion films.
