The Best Scene in Transformers One Explained

[@Knowthename0000]

I've heard someone say this, D-16 caught Orion, Megatron dropped him

I actually really like that so simple yet holds a very complex message

[@SW_Guy1]

Fr, the edits of the movie I saw did a way better job to get me to watch the movie than the trailers did.

[@StocktonMotherFer]

[@MordecaiSPM]

Yep I was lied to by the trailer. The trailer completely shifts the tones of the movie.

"If this doesn't get a sequel, I'm betraying the species!" Alright Megatron, calm down...Can I join the cause?

All hail Megatron! If there isn't a TFOne sequel, then we RISE UP!

[@espresso_makes_depresso5905]

4:20 I want to add something here. By ripping out Sentinel's (formerly Megatronus') T-Cog, he visually gains the heart of a Tyrant.

[@king_alloy]

I've heard elsewhere that the cog that D-16 had received and then removed in place of Megatronus' cog, was from a prime known for foresight.

This is a new age, people. An age where the mainstream audiences are becoming aware that the Transformers franchise is starting to be acknowledged as having been, currently being and can be in the future pure unadulterated peak. TFOne and the Skybound comics can't be blessed enough for that.

[@subcommanderxelios800]

TF One was the first time I saw the Transformers as actual relatable people in a movie setting.

[@vaggos2003]

@subcommanderxelios800 And hopefully not the last.

[@legobrick1356]

@@subcommanderxelios800 I think that might be because unlike literally ever other big Transformers movie, there are two things that set TFO apart. The first is that it is set before the Autobots or Decepticons came to be and saw the birth of both leaders, meaning we see Cybertron before their infamous war. The other is that there isn't a single human present at all, which I think is the bigger factor. Because when we see a human there, we see the difference in size between the species, and how much larger they are in comparison. Here though, we don't have any reference to the scale of their size, they all just seem normal because it's just them, which helps to connect to them because it means we aren't focusing on that difference.

[@subcommanderxelios800]

@@legobrick1356 Yeah, Orion and D-16 never felt like Optimus and Megatron before their transformation. They came off as two best friends trying to make ends meet in a hierarchical society.

[@HWjabber]

This is a far superior breed of Transformer film in comparison to the Bayverse films in so many ways.

[@JakubRycek-oe8me]

yup bayverse had good action scenes and the idea of transformers fighting creators was fun imo (yet wasted) but that's where the good points end bayverse doesn't have much to offer except for the action

[@laurenblue8828]

Yess and whenever ya have to promote the movie to anyone who only knows the bayverse movies, you have to practically try to play defense attorney for the movie like "no, NO ! ISTG ITS GOOD PLZ WATCH IT" and so on

[@TheMrAdhitya]

Hot take: this movie is better than the classic, timeless 86's TF movie.

[@snimon5824]

​@@TheMrAdhityaI kinda agree.

[@TechbotALPHA]

@@TheMrAdhitya As someone who watched the 86 movie dozens of times on VHS as a kid... I think you may well be right. TF '86 required a lot of past knowledge of the series, the characters, the setting and all that came before. Its still possible to enjoy, sure, but... it's a Capstone. TF One is a standalone, from the ground up experience. You need no prior knowledge. You get plenty of easter eggs and shoutouts for long term fans. You have rock solids storytelling and character arcs... Yeah

[@ZariF0209]

Let's all support it in any way we can. I'm just a casual fan of this franchise, but I still went to see it in theaters, and I intend to buy its DVD at some point.

[@akihikosakurai4013]

I'm glad you referred to the high guard as freedom fighters because ultimately that's what they want, even if their methods are different

[@Anwandere]

5:24 Just the line alone that there might be some allusion to the theme from my childhood show ‘Transformers Prime’ made me watch that film immediately. It was marvelous. The memories… I’m glad I watched it and glad you made a video about it, too! I felt the film had a rather ‘simple’ story, though not in a negative way; it also explored the days from before ‘Transformers Prime,’ how it got to that point. It’s a prequel to me.

[@Cup_Of_Cappuchino]

5:00 you sound like a younger optimus prime. Honestly i think you could totally pull that off

Paramount’s Marketing Department to Transformers One: *”I failed you… Old friend.”*

[@TheBabyCaleb]

This film is PEAK. This movie is THE transformers movie we want, praying for a sequel

[@h0m3st4r]

Adding to this, throughout the final fight of the movie, the newly christened Optimus Prime targets Megatron and the High Guard's weapons, whereas Megatron goes for the kill.

[@aristosachaion_]

One other thing about the final fight is that the ending is a great parallel to the final scene of D-16 and Sentinel. Optimus could have easily chosen to execute the newly risen Megatron then and there. He had _every_ reason to do it, including the fact that Megatron tried to kill him _twice._ Yet, Optimus simply sent him away. That decision would ultimately cost them the entire planet, but the moral remains unchanged: there's always a choice to be better.

[@DCMarvel2009]

Didn’t expect Transformers content from you, SEA! Cool to see you branching out!

It's been a looooong time since I've felt we needed a sequel to a movie, and I'm glad it's this one :)

[@madsceptictrooper6803]

It's so sad how this underrated masterpiece flopped but an overrated mess known as Zootopia became a box office success. Though, box office success doesn't reflect the true quality of a movie. Never thought I would have two personal favorite versions of Megatron; a sympathetic one (D-16) and a pure evil one (Megatron from Transformers: Animated).

[@XenoJehuty84]

This movie deserved better. Both Paramount and Hasbro should be ashamed. Fantastic analysis, I have to say this take on the origin of Optimus and Megatron was stellar. It really adds to the tragedy that they were once great friends, but then became bitter enemies.

[@NuthinButGudVibes]

Ngl the after credit scene of the decepticons goes really hard

[@leibargruiz5307]

Perfect breakdown. I think we have watched it 7 times

[@Kededian]

Best Transformers movie ever! Bayformers dont get even close to this masterpiece.

[@daneyal7162]

At this point, I've seen the movie, and while it's amazing...there is one scene in the last part of it that soured the experience of its remainder for me. This moment was neither brought up here, and in other videos that I saw that talked about Orion and D-16's relationship, and it's something that's easy to miss, but talking about it will involve spoilers, so read the following at your own consideration: you see, in the last part of the movie, as the four main characters begin their fight against sentinel himself, Orion tells Elita and B that Airachnid, sentinel's spymaster, is the key to bring sentinel down, because her eyes record everything, including all of sentinel's treacherous actions. so, if they will be able to capture her, and show her information to all of Iacon, sentinel will be exposed as the traitor that he is. Now, while Orion explains this plan to his friends, D-16 is engaged in battle against sentinel, and as Elita subdues Airachnid and takes her to Iacon's main comms tower, Orion and B join her...but they seem to completley FORGET about D-16, who STILL fights against Sentinel. Now, whether or not Orion would've stayed with D-16 to fight against Sentinel, I don't think that it would've changed the events that have happened after the info has been revealed about Sentinel to all of Iacon, but it really baffles me that Orion seemingly FORGOT that his BEST FRIEND is in danger! It also sours the rest of the movie for me to a degree, because while Orion's presence wouldn't have changed D-16's actions in my opinion, Orion seemingly ABANDONING D-16 seems to contradict the close bond that the two share with each other. I've seen the scenes where this happens a number of times, and there is no acknowledgement of this action by Orion at all. Am I missing something here?

[@gamerboi5678]

Just my thoughts my opinion Short: at the final battle D-16 says to orion you are not the boss of me im doing this on my on i just wanna kill sentinel and i wont listen to your orders...not directly said but thats what i see in his eyes . he also gave up life as we see him being tortured to death by sentinel he just does not care. so orion i am guessing he understood that its his fight so they both again went seperate. one showing iacon the truth the other just wanting to kill sentinel LONG:well orion did see what D was becoming in the high guard's lair as to how brutal he was becoming and only cares what he wants not iacon and its people both got seperate ideologies and their view on life orion is always the hopeful while D-16? his world shattered upon learning the truth he pretty much just wanted to kill sentinel and thats about it. orion tried putting D into the team but he rejected every time and dosen't want to listen anybody playing leader ever since he saw megatronus get executed by sentinel......orion at times thought hes not gonna come back but sometimes tries a idea to get him back in a way but all of that backfires as he refuses to listen to his plans which means that well hes tired he just wants to acheive what he wants and also uses the motto " one both has strength over the other "

[@jrock6426]

In one moment you sounded like Optimus and then at the end you like Megatron lol

[@Shark_StopMotion]

I love bayverse but bayverse honestly messed up transformers in a lot of ways, yes the first movie and DotM are great, but because of bay people only thought of transformers as big robot fight with Shia lebouf or mark whalberg yelling in the background with a meh/bad/predictable plot. This movie is bringing to light just how amazing transformers can truly be with a good story and good writing.

[@ValkyrionX2]

I am with you on this one, I think they should lessen the human element if they make another live action. I like this one because no human and we can focus on each character on the Cybertronian. Look at Rise of the Beast for example, damn.. only Airazor and Primal gets to talk? Cheetor only 1 line and Rhinox not talking at all..wow...

[@FRaptor-wl6ku]

0:07 Sad part is I binged watched Beast machines the other day and I’d rather watch those AWFUL by slowly get used to beast machines designs then watch the Michael bay movies which are to be honest 80% explosions and 19% humans and 1% of the robots i mean i watched the movies when i was a kid but now as a 25 year old man im like wow it focused more on the humans then the robots

[@yuugael4010]

if they can hold up this quality war for cybertron might be goated too I PRAYY they did war for cybertron justice

[@hasturthekinginyellow5003]

One thing that i find both incredibly tragic and incredibly infuriating is that Orion Pax tried to save the life of Sentinel (whos a tyrant, a traitor, an utter scumbag) going so far as to lay down his own life and by doing so he created an even worse tyrant, plunged his own species to millenia of war and started the end of his whole planet. Megatron may have created the Decepticons, but it was Orion Pax the one that created Megatron.

[@bumblebee2956]

This should be the movie for big screen 🎉

[@171QA]

[@mr.niceguy9394]

I hope they don't joker 2 us with transformers two 😅

[@Heartheartrecords]

Heres my way down the rabbit hole view point on why marketing is potentially and 'INTENTIONALLY' done poorly with purpose. As like most of us, for me, it doesn't really make sense why this film has received the shitty marketing like most other movies/stories don't get. Yet this will mostly resonate with those with a much deeper spiritual awareness of perception. It is commonly known in the spiritual community that "free Will' must be recognised and practised in this reality we all function in, otherwise a great violation has been made that upsets a much higher archetype of vibrational balance with some very dire consequence. (91 divoC speaks this very clearly imo, those that chose to get the so called 'medicine of life saving protection' had to do so by free will choice, not absolute force....? ) Movies, music and art is one of the most powerful ways in adhering to this law and meeting the requirements. Once given, theres no law thats says any cant distort and corrupt such a 'given truth', just like Sentinel does in the movie by being truly deceptive. Such things can easily be connected to the political system, mostly the American one at present, as to show we the people, the truth (Universal law requirement) yet to then keep it quiet and out of the belief systems of the many as to continue to uphold the illusion thats been created for quite a long time (6000 years). Cause if you dissect the TF1 movie and overlay it with the human species story, its pretty much showing us this truth. I wont go into explanation of my own view yet will leave this thought provoking contemplation for those that read this comment. This opinion lies solely towards Paramount and/or Hasbro, the ones that work with others behind the scene to continue the ongoing distortion that creates this narrative, not directors and actors and those of this nature.

Transformers one movie has the best origin story ever on basics of cog and cogless minners than TFP We want sequeal and prequels for tfo With the animation movie style just like this (Which was similar like the toy story and lego [design wise] using a model of a toy for animation movie) Keep it more centric towards Cybertron and ditch the quentesson form which looks kind of biological Edit: for Sequel of M vs Op Use story line that some cogless miners who were disposed off had left iacon before tfo ending and were later found by the Megatron on a distance hidden scrap island , Megatron helped them by giving them t Cogs and place among him So all the previous disposed cogless miners joined him in his cause for the destruction of iacon where they were treated badly and dispossed off easily #tfhypeguy #tfweekend

I think the marketing was purpesfully bad and showing only the childish humor so that once you watch the movie expecting something immature and get such a masterpeice it will hit so much harder. Or they just dont know what the marketing is.

Because bayverse Optimus prime it not g1 Optimus he was filled nothing but rage what Sentinel had done in reality he not tfone Sentinel because it’s version of tfdom Sentinel care about his people in beacuse Cybertron alive And bayverse Optimus prime A version of Matrix of leadership is just a artifact power to starharvester even fallen him self can hold this version of Matrix of leadership Explain why this version Optimus prime willing to kill villain transformers cross his way like tfone megaton

[@e-moshe]

I would not compare that Bayverse Sentinel Prime execution scene with Transformers One, where Orion Pax actually behaved in latter like he would. Michael Bay and his producers had completely lost sight of the essence of Optimus Prime by that stage in their films to the point where Peter Cullen didn’t want to voice certain lines for him. Little wonder those films became a mess and lost audiences. Even my young son was aback at that Bayverse scene and shouted “That’s not what Optimus would do!” I would rather say the lingering toxic reputation of the Bayverse films impacted negatively on a good Transformers One film, and should be compared in that respect.

[@erikbihari3625]

Did you guys know, that the Michael Bay movies are what brought transformers worldwide recognition, besides all that sweet money?

[@diseasedwombat5611]

Just because they brought recognition and attention doesn’t mean they were good

[@juanyusee8197]

But the Bay movies also ended up tanking the franchise's public reputation especially during the fourth film where they have massively overstayed their welcome.

[@erikbihari3625]

@juanyusee8197 . Please, given how adamant the Transformers fans are about refusing change(Ironic, Yes), they obviously got the word out, meaning;causals Will know about the originals. Like myself, who after the movies saw prime, then wanted knowing more and regularly watch Chris McFreely now! Besides the"lubricating"/"enemy scrotum", stuff seems appropriate when you remember that one character was unironically called Sparkplug, and optimus' booby trap Line,His energy transfusion for elita one looking"Private", and more! Also, the fourth? Give people some credit.

[@erikbihari3625]

@diseasedwombat5611 . Could say the same about the m.c.u., least bay didn't ruin cinema itself with squeasing out the competition! And since you hate them this bad, why aren't you married with nem yet? Least they lead towards better things.

[@erikbihari3625]

Did you guys know that bayverse sentinel made his deal with megatron right when the ark left cybertronian orbit? Meaning the man was compromised long before resurrection! Funny.
