They Bumblebee movie had such cool designs for the seekers. Way better than the first five films. Seeing Starscream in the battle on Cybertron looking like his classic self was such a treat.

[@Dualbladedscorpion7737]

@@tannerprice2018 Imagine there was another bumblebee movie were we see bruticus resimbling both his g1 and or wfc/foc forms. His arms (vortex and blast off) would have some weapons for the combined mode. Vortex's melee weapon for the arm mode would be a buzz saw, just like black out he would use main routier blades on his back as a weapon. While blast off on the *other hand* 😁 his weapon for the arm would be a blaster and a flamthrower.

[@thomasturtle7207]

Maybe Grindor is Blackout, both blackout & Megatron's bodies were dropped into the ocean together. Maybe the constructicons revived him too, just off screen.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

That's a cool theory.

[@johncotmore9412]

They are brothers btw

[@7otalBlackou7]

Never thought I would agree, but apparently in the RoTF videogame there are some voice lines for Optimus Prime in which he calls Grindor as Blackout's brother. "Grindor, don't make the same mistake as your brother." "Grindor has joined his brother!"

[@lordvoldemort5725]

But transformers transform into anything that’s their size. Blackout was not a 50 foot tall robot. Black was near the size of Megatron. And in the comics they’re two different people.

Blackout was dropped into the sea along with Megatron. The piece of the all spark emitted a shockwave which probably revived blackout and used some of the pieces of ravage. In the forest scene you can see oxidization on parts of “Grindor”.

[@m.a.k.dynasty4504]

Any hopes for the future of the Movie-Verse RBJ? I hope they don't do away with some of the aspects of the previous films such as so action segments. The fights throughout these movies do a good job at depicting just how much of a callosal force the Titans really are and how much of a threat they can be if they aren't thoughtful to the area around them. Maybe focus more on that latter part. And especially give the Transformers a bit more of a relationship with their home planet just as much as Earth in the previous films. The thing that disappointed me about Dark of The Moon was that it felt like a solid movie that had a lackluster ending. The Autobots and Deceptions should have definitely been more emotional about having the remains of their home planet be destroyed right in front of them due to their neverending war. It would've made Megatron's push for a truce seem a lot more justifiable rather than two timey. Just some thoughts.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

I just hope they give us an update where they're gonna take the films in the future. Its almost like Paramount doesn't know it they wanna fully reboot it or continue from the Bay lore.

[@m.a.k.dynasty4504]

@@RandomBlackGamer Agreed. If they want to reboot the franchise, I have no problem with that. The old films had their time in the sun and people want something a little different for the films. But I'd feel a lot more comfortable about if they just gave the original films a proper conclusion with a comic run or something of the characters actually taking on Unicron. Just to give the old fans of the movies some closure.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

I try to provide captions for specific demographics that watch my videos.

[@celestialspartan1176]

I get the reason why the Protoforms were so numerous in the original film series. They were nothing more than troopers to fill the ranks of the Decepticon and Autobot armies, while the main characters served as almost officers and commanders of the battlefield, standing out from the crowd. But, there should’ve been various Protoform designs in order to show different specializations within their forces. If the Grand Army Of The Republic from Star Wars can have various Clone Trooper ranks within it’s army, why can’t the Protoforms have that?

[@colinmcclymond875]

Can you do a video about transformations of both decepticons and autobots.

[@shaytheswift_4327]

Similarities between bots could be explained by the fact that they are non organic and are probably made in generations and models but due to the fact that most of the cybertronian population died in the war we only get to see a few "lookalikes"who were actually part of the same generation on their planet. In the Bumblebee movie they elude to the fact that they are made to fulfill specific roles which explains why bee has no moving face parts in like the others as he was built to fight and didn't require those other parts.

[@BumblebeeHorton]

Stormerign looks cool, Guardian and Steelbane looked the same.

[@Burning-Twilight]

Transformers has had a long history of reusing the same character model for others. Starscream was a prime example there's literally too many characters to list with his body. To top it off a character by the name of Redwing even has the same color scheme along with his body. So its not a surprise the film's do this as well (really wish they would have stopped reusing Long Hauls body so many times) I hope for future TF film's they at least try to be a bit more unique with the body types (I honestly don't want G1 designs for everyone as some are really dated like Shockwave). Shatter and Dropkick in my personal opinion had the alien like design from bay but still had a G1 like feel to it.
