I am am Optimus Crime

[@MrChickennugget360]

The reason why later Transformers failed was there no way to top this scene. Honestly i think the obsession of trying to top THIS scene is why Optimus turned into such a psychopathic killer later on. This scene balanced perfect bad ass with efficient killer, unlike later on when he would rip apart enemies with his hands or shoot them in the head when they were wounded on the ground, here he decapitates, not for show but for a quick efficient kill.

[@bob1986]

@@MrChickennugget360 The issue was that they didn't have alot of confidence in the CG or that the audience would identify with the CG characters in the first film, hence why so many of the Transformers scenes are at night or otherwise in darkness. Having them fight each other in daylight Bay and the crew were skeptical if it would look good which is why all the fight scenes at the end are relatively quick and brutal. They didn't have confidence that CG robots punching and back and forthing each other wouldn't look awful and the CG destruction and damage distracts from the CG models flaws. However the audiences did like it, so now they were confident to have big fight scenes like RotF's forest battle, but they'd already established the Transformers were brutal to each other in battle. Hence we got Optimus face ripper.

Unlike most of the later films in the Bayverse Transformers franchise, the giant metal aliens had weight to them here. It's a shame Paramount hamstrung the later films.

[@duncanw5644]

95%? Come on, be realistic and say 35%.

[@moviefan2236]

​@@duncanw5644naw, it's more like 60% at least. This back in the 2000s, When CGI had the most effort put into it for movies since it was still relatively new. I'm not even a buff on CGI, and I can still certainly say that while stuff like endgame was good with CGI effects, it just doesn't hit the way it did back then. Even the original avengers movie doesn't have the same feel with its CGI as this.

[@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom]

This was before the industry started crunching them.

[@volleyballurrrr]

I remember watching the extra features on the DVD, there was some behind the scenes content focusing on the CGI. The homies were sweating the details big time on this movie. I remember there was a lot of discussion about how hard it was to do the sand scenes.

It’s actually not that hard… I power slid a Mack R Model dump truck in two inches of snow going through an unpacked parking lot. Did it a second time after the next dump to prove it wasn’t a mistake.

[@ThEaChAiN]

@@dangeary2134 you didn't powerslide a friggin dump

[@MikeKirchner-zf7zm]

As an 80's kid G1 was my favorite cartoon, when I heard they were making a Transformers movie, I thought can they really pull it off and make it look at all good. At that time, CGI was getting better, but didn't have a realistic quality to it yet. I went to see this in theaters when I was released not really knowing what to expect, other then basic transformations and fairly decent CGI. When the helicopter, AKA Blackout, landed at the military base, got surrounded by military, then the blades stopped, and.... I was blown away at how FUCKIN AWESOME it looked! The rest of the movie, especially from this highway scene to the ending, was next level movie magic, and it's what set the standard for CGI looking indistinguishable from actual real effects.

[@hiranom20]

I thought I was the only person who remembered Blackout's rotors stopping in the cinema and the reaction it caused lol

[@MikeKirchner-zf7zm]

@hiranom20 I watched that movie too many times once I got it on DVD haha, another detail when the blades stopped, there was the sound very similar to the G1 transformation sound effect, it was when the blades stopped, then the quick G1 sound effect, then the transformation starts and all hell breaks loose.

[@hiranom20]

@MikeKirchner-zf7zm The cinema almost burnt to the ground when the rotors stopped and the sound effect came in.. 🤣🤣🤣

[@ChocolateAsian9000]

2 amazing transformations back to back. When I saw this for the first time and Optimus started to transform and his wheels made the skidding noises, my mom put her hands up and said “I love this movie” 😂

1:00 One of the coolest transformations in the movie 🔥

[@dashmeshsingh564]

This is the first fight that I watched as a kid. I turned on the television on a random afternoon and stumbled upon the scene. I immediately recognised Optimus because I had seen some episodes from the animated series a few years prior. But man, the CGI blew my mind back then. I remember having the same reaction as that kid in the car. On top of this, the final act was full-blown urban warfare, and I enjoyed every second of it. I hadn't seen anything like it. 😂 I used to keep an eye out for the movie every time I turned on the TV. One time, I caught it during the first few minutes of it being aired, thinking I got lucky, I watched about an hour of it, but the Transformers were nowhere to be seen. To my disappointment, I actually was watching Jason Statham's Transporter. 😂😂

[@soupermoviecritic8511]

Bone Crusher was pretty underrated Con. I wish he had a little more screen time. He still left an impactful in the first film.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

The fight serves a distinct purpose, Optimus has to be kept away from the main fight so he doesn't sweep the floor before it even gets going and he has to be shown to be more capable than the average fighter so he doesn't look just completely weak when Megatron slaps him around later. I definitely wish we got to see more of Bonecrusher and honestly the other decepticons as well, they have some really creative parts to their designs that aren't really showcased, in this case the additional claw he has would make anyone else fighting him have a very difficult time one-on-one.
