Maverick: Danger Zone | Top Gun X Transformers Fan Film

Almost half a year in the making and we're finally taking off! Maverick: Danger Zone is a love letter to aviation from Sam and I. We truly gave this film our all and are so glad to finally get it off the runway and into the air!

Maverick's really the type of Autobot that can make Optimus Prime proud.

Pretty cool ngl Me seeing an aircraft carrier all by itself without the rest of the fleet: oh no, this won't end well

[@TYGUY321Films]

I can tell you…I’m feeling the need…the need for speed that is! TFI Creations strikes again with a really awesome idea for a collaborative film and a clear understanding of both properties blended perfectly together! Maverick has a simple arc, but it’s one that’s almost complicating in a way that you could see both sides of the situation that he puts himself in. The other characters really support him through it and it leads to a bittersweet ending. I also have to mention the flight scenes…they were so goddamn impressive! Knowing that you actually used real planes to capture the footage, it’s further proof in showing that you really care about approaching how you make your films and just aviation in general! This is yet another amazing fan film from the masters, so just keep ‘em coming! Because goodness gracious, they’re great balls of fire!

[@SauropodStudios1954]

very impressed with the visuals here, really feel like i was flying into the DANGER THE ZONE!

[@Kobenomics]

Oh my god. I'm sorry I don't have much to say, but this film is currently my favorite! With it's emotional and beautiful moments, to action packed fights, this just absolutely takes the cake for me!

[@GojiramusPrimeBug01]

The fact that an SR-71 can go Mach 3 and the missiles the Cons developed can keep up with Jetfire is a pretty gnarly thing to see that means the missiles can go Mach 5-6

I hope you see an F-14 Tomcat in the museum, Samuel.

[@jackfireee]

I may not be a big fan of aviation and I haven't watched the Top Gun films, I had a lot of fun watching this crossover. I was at the edge of my seat watching those dogfights and training scenes. I may have gotten emotional when Air-Raid and Breakaway realized and became better aerial bots. That was a really beautiful scene where they fully understand brotherhood in the sky. I have two criticism or things I wish we could've seen in the film: 1. I wish the Decepticons felt more like characters instead of targets. 2. I wish we could've seen Maverick's past instead of being told to the audience. I think it would've been more emotional if we got a scene where we saw Mavericks past, the reason why he left being an aerial bot. So we can feel the weight he's carying of his bad past. But all in all I enjoyed the film and to everyone who was involved, you guys did a great job! As always, I can't wait for the next one.

Wow man....wow...it was so much worth the Wait! The Aerial Shots were Great! The Story was truly lovely and the Characters were Awesome! My only critique would be that the Decepticons didn't get that much Screen Time and talked way to less. But its not that big of a deal just would've loved to see More of them^^. Other than that i loved it till the End and i actually quite like that you killed Mavericks Character, could become a major Plot point for a Potential Sequel if you are gonna do one^^ Looking forward to the Next!!!

6:46 The first time Star Saber called Maverick, I was thinking in Megaman X and their criminals

[@saf_brofacevirtus5297]

This was a very interesting take on topgun. I really like the story for this with the nice drone shots. The only thing I get annoyed with is a lot of the flying things like how weight = stall which can happen but doesnt really cause engine failure. Some of the ways that radar work, and then just some aerial terms. But that might just because im a pilot. Other than that AWESOME story.

[@TFICreations]

I’m also a pilot, but I only fly little Cessnas. XD I decided not to go full realism with this short as I went for entertainment factor first. Not to mention giant transforming robots may not follow the same engine engineering.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Amazing production and very entertaining. Aside from the great story telling, cinematography, and compelling characters it was really fun seeing different eras of Transformers all come together in one cohesive movie. Seeing HFTDs Mindwipe as the Fallen especially as I still own that one as well as the yellow/black jet who's name I completely forget.

[@deltathevelociraptor2940]

This was another absolute spectacular! It feels a lot like that feeling of Top Gun and I love it. To the characters and the story and especially the aerial shots are absolutely immersive and beautiful. And you guys definitely put your love of jets and aerial to the extreme and I love it. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to your next project

Man that was awesome. I love when the film is made so well you don't even need stopmotion. Only one question though. Why not a bigger payload for Powerglide to drop on the factory? They look like any of the jets could have launched those. It put a little hickup in the feels of the film at that moment.
