[@titan_redeemer7371]

These audio logs are proof of what the transformers franchise could be as a whole, a play on the true horrors of war, interpreted through living machines but that can think and feel like we do. This is a part of the transformers story that I feel isn’t touched on enough, the fact that there are cybertronians outside of the main cast of known characters who are just trying to survive this horrific eons long war

[@connormclernon26]

We could focus on a far flung part of the war where both sides have long since realized the whole thing is crazy, the war fever has long since burned out, and they’re both just trying to survive. They fake their reports to higher command, telling of battles that never happened, and they basically just spend their stellar cycles on day to day matters of getting enough energon.

[@Abu_Brandino]

Straight up. We just needed those two games made into a proper movie like the first scene of “Bumblebee” but they won’t give us this

Those last lines from Optimus.....sums it up from his POV. I love OP.

OP is beloved by all, but when you think of it...he really was foolish and really took it to Megatron until it was too late. It made for exponential character growth though

[@BeeTheTravler]

It’s even worse because to normal people like us and even other cyvertronians, nobody would understand how Optimus wouldn’t hate megatron after all this. But like he said, they were brothers. After metroplex kills megatron, Optimus doesn’t take his body, he lets the decpeitcons mourn his body. His own empathy was sadly the biggest downfall

@@krel7160: After seeing Transformers: ONE, it would seem that the Transformers, never really got the chance to build an actual Stable Civilization. After Sentinel’s death, one would believe they’re finally be PEACE, but instead it created a Domino Effect that would lead to a WAR of Apocalyptic Proportions. The Autobots had to first deal with the Quintessons, only to come back to deal with The Decepticons, that lead to Cybertron to essentially REBOOT itself, in a process that would take a millennial, forcing the remaining survivors to leave the planet.

[@fegreninja7197]

@@thabsoffical.-8742 I respect your opinion, but personally I find RID to be really immature, save a few glimmers of actual interesting ideas and characters that never fully get explored. RID also fumbles some of its legacy characters, like how Optimus needs “training” when he’s arguably the most venerated and experienced prime when it comes to combat. Or when Bumblebee acts so possessive of his team, unable to work with Optimus. Or how Megatronus came out of nowhere even though he exiled himself out of shame of what he’d done. Or how the members of Team Bee barely change: they go through an arc in one episode only to regress as characters in the next. I may be holding RID to a higher standard, but that’s because it’s more directly tied to TFP, and so you have to be careful to respect what came before it while also doing something new. RBA academy is a children’s show, like, a children children’s show, but it’s still got some solid episodes and respects its legacy characters. The episode regarding Wedge’s origin as a decepticon is an interesting concept, considering how he was born after the war and thus views once being a decepticon as more of an identity and less of a political faction. I still don’t like Optimus’ design though, I think we can both agree that’s nightmare fuel lol

@@fegreninja7197 I believe you did make a mistake on one part. Megatronus Prime is the Fallen. He killed Solus Prime and caused the Thirteen Primes to fight. Megatronus Prime was imprisoned, not self-exiled. And while the Covenant of Primus does state he confessed and self-exiled himself, the RID 2015 show also does have the imprisoned. It was Megatron (the gladiator, not Megatronus Prime) who did the self-exile after disbanding the Decepticons in the Predacons Rising film. Respect to RID 2015 for at least keeping that part consistent. Even respect for how they handled Soundwave.

1:37 this is grimlocks voice actor, so I’m not sure if it’s him or another soldier. Without the effect it really sounds nothing like him, but grimlock was supposed to not have speech problems pre shockwave. Even the turn tail joke. My own head canon is that in this game, cybertronies are limited to a few voice boxes (megatron metroplex and racket sharing one voice, shockwave swindle and star scream, and at one point cliff jumper in the DSi game)

[@endosaurus1404]

So the fall of the planet was the decepticon's fault right? Even when the autobots were trying to leave, megatron was basically attempting a suicide pact.

[@Destroyerofnations]

Effectively, in the Aligned continuity that little Dark Energon stunt basically accelerated the planet’s end.

[@TheNapster153]

In a general sense, yes. But, personally, the real lesson behind Cybertron is that we shouldn't be too comfortable with a system that kills like a cancer. The Decepticons, at the end of the day, was a manifestation of a body that's realised too late that it's sick and has chosen to react in the most violent possible manner to regain control and steer course. Prime and Megs were two sides of the same coin. Should the Autobots have their way, they'd probably take eons to reform the system, and even then there'd be fringe groups that are just too 'sick' and hurt from long injustice to ever be recoverable.

[@TheBigExclusive]

Yes. Megatron pois0ned Cybertron's Core with Dark Energon. The core is what produces Energon for every living being on Cybertron. It's their power source. After the core was pois0ned, it had to shut down. Cybertron spoke to Optimus before it shutdown everything. Cybertron said it would be millions of years before it could purge the poison and restart the core. The planet would become barren and lifeless during this time. Cybertron told Optimus to take the Autobots and leave the planet.

[@meteorknight999]

​@@TheBigExclusivedude no, cybertron was shutting down without megatron doing anything, megatron tried to stop the shut down of core by using dark energon but that didn't work the core was shutting down anyway. The war destroyed cybertron

[@coolet9132]

The thing is that if the high nobility just had accepted Megatrons demands, then the war wouldn't have happened. He only wanted the lower class to be treated as fellow Cybetronians and not as slaves which was forced to die in mass to produce the goods for the middle class and high class. Megatron tried for a long time to get the council to give in without fighting but the breaking point was when Optimus basically stabbed him in the back by accepting the praise and rewards for Megatrons work. That also showed that the nobility wouldn't agree to lose power so the only way forward was either continue as slaves to die in mass or use force to free themselves from the tyranny of the nobles. It was during the war that Megatron and the Decepticon cause went astray, but I support the reason Megatron started the war, fighting for freedom against the people that oppress them is a good thing.

This is what the bayformers and other movies failed to realize that the transformers are a race of people as well and while it may be different they came from a world ravaged by civil war with so many innocent lives lost and civilians forced to fight just to survive. Each cybertronian has their own story, their own reasons to fight, their own hopes and dreams.

[@thundermations]

Optimus always said there was hope of winning the war but the war had been up for so long, it alwo continued in other continuities, some of them ended peacefully but at the cost of so many lives, and before the autobots started the war they knew the risks, they knew some of they're lives would be lost but they think it was worth fighting for but to think about death all the time, hearing last masseges from the wounded who would get killed, losing friends, it eas hard for them to focus especially optimus, he knew it was his fault because the war was a brutal era that had nothing to do but fighting and terminating at the cost of millons of his fellow autobots. I bet it was a really horrible experience for the soldiers because everyday some of them would think it would be their last day or something can easily go wrong. It was very depressing.

[@CTKid203]

Optimus problem is that he wants to see a better way....until its too late and the realization hits him that the Decepticons wont stop and that you have to exterminate them. Optimus mistake is not taking out Megatron and his Top guns when he had chances to do so.

This is one of the best interpretation of modern transformers in my opinion. Depicting a great civilization collasp under unending conflict. And the rainbow of causes that led up to it both good and bad. Shame it ended the way it did

1:33 That's pre-mind break Grimlock talking actually

With the new transformers One film out, I really hope we get to lean more into this grittier side of the transformers universe.

1:35 This was Grimlock

[@gagekealoha7878]

Maybe you should do a Decepticon version too

Thank you for making this

Some of the things the autobots said makes sence after being at war for millions of years it can be hard to think of peace or the autobots might have seen leaving cybertron there home as igmiting defeat

1:34 thats actually grimlock before he was captured

[@michaellucas3907]

Where did you find the voice recordings for Optimus that doesn't sound like they're from the audio logs

[@aires425]

They are, you gotta unlock them.

The Transformers of these games needs to come back.

“There has to be something, other Autobots out there that can help?” “… There were other Autobots onboard the ark when it left…” “Well… where are they?” “Lost to the stars kid…”

[@Agent-vf5dq]

This is depressing

[@FarradMuseumofTruth]

Yes the Autobots fought hard. Autobot Victory will come. We mustn't give up

[@Spider-Gekko957]
