When I first saw Sentinel Prime betray the Autobots, I was kinda like, "Why do they keep making the Primes evil?" But after a doing a little bit of research on the other Primes from other shows and universes, I realized that the Primes werent as honorable as I thought they were. Megatronus and Liege Maximo fell to darkness and betrayed their brothers. Quintus Prime created the Quintessons. Prima, the Leader of the Primes, was a proud but arrogant warrior and had an indirect hand in alienating Megatronus. Most of the other Primes essentially isolated themselves in dimensional realms. I think really the only "good" Primes were; Alpha Trion, Nova Prime, Solus Prime, The Thirteenth, and Vector Prime. I know I'm referencing the Aligned Continuity, but the movies never really go into any detail on the individual Primes.

[@pumpkinqueen316]

Nova was actually a very evil prime and would actually wipe out planets that weren’t cybertronian and was a war monger

[@itzdripcelotyt7145]

Alpha Trion was always good, in every single continuity. As for Nova Prime, depends on continuity. He fell into Unicron's corruption in Transformers Devastation.

[@jo-jo_da_one15yearsago]

Nova Prime is literally hitler but ok.

[@Sean-qg3gg]

Yeah the government of Cybertron was corrupt. They made Optimus a prime simply because he didn’t want to hurt them, but Megatron had the same beliefs. Because of this, they made a huge villain of Megatron.

[@dankmemer2774]

Sentinel prime is by far the most compelling villain of the bay series. There was a reasoning behind his madness. He wanted more than anything else the survival of his race, no matter the cost. His method is brutal and outright evil, but if we look at it from the cybertronian perspective, optimus and his crew are the real traitor since optimus would rather destroy his home planet to save an alien race. Sentinel also predicted AOE in saying that the humans only see the autobots as machines. The moment that they no longer need the autobots, they will become no more than junk yard metal in the eyes of humans.

Attinger was the true villain of the movie, he would use any dirty method to capture the autobots and decepticons, all of it to keep the security of "its country", but that's another way of saying we consider everything foreign a menace, he started the hunt, and made the conflict worse, and he found a way to make it viable since he made a contract with Joshua to deliver the pieces of dead transformers for research and inventions, both didn't cared about anything but their goals, basically Attinger was like Charlotte mearing, but with the resources, contacts, and no fucks given to diplomacy to be able to erase the transformers from earth instead of offering them to leave like Charlotte mearing and Galloway did.

I would have had the fallen act similar to Palpatine telling Megatron that the primes betrayed him that he only wanted to restore Cybertron but they choice other beings over there planet instead. And this manipulation would work even more when Sentinel choices Optimus as prime over him someone who didn't even want to be prime and focused on history and science.

[@IGC-340]

I dont see how the fallen was the most powerful when with other villans Optimus needed help to beat when the fallen legit had help with megatron and still lost pretty easily

[@bluelynxworld4748]

I mean... Judging by how Megatron BODIED Pptimus with ONE ARM in the last knight and the fact that in 2 he had an incredibly awkward, lopsided, and cumbersome body then in the 3rd he was critically injured and still recovering, I'd say he us among the most powerful antagonist. Let me explain. In the first movie we see just how powerful he is. Able to take on the Autobots by himself and then proceed to go toe-to-toe with a desperate Optimus and actually beat him. We see that despite his great size he is incredibly agile, quick on his feet, and extraordinarily well balanced as he tanks hits from Optimus Primes ion blaster and just pivots to tank the shot and wheels around onto his knee effortlessly. He was a POWERHOUSE! In the second movie he is revived and in a very lopsided, awkward and very heavy and unfamiliar body. How do I know this? Well it's shown in the movie. No there is no dialogue mention it, but there is dialogue that hints at a bot being aware of this fact and just compare his movements from the 1st movie and watch him in the second. Yes with every hit he still does a toke of damage and he still holds his own, but you can see when he moves he runs and looks like he's about to fall over. His punches and kicks are so awkward and slow rather than graceful and aggressive like in the first. Optimus even starts roasting him and his new body calling it "Usless junkyard crap." Not referring to Megatron as a whole but rather the fact that his awkward body is indeed crap and has put him at a severe disadvantage. As for the Fallen thing. You can tell just by looking at Megatrons body language that he does not enjoy sucking up to Megatronus, and the way that he still commands the Decepticons instead of letting the Fallen order them around does also hint at the fact that he doesn't intend on letting Megatronus stay "in charge." As for his line at the end of the film, again, based off his body language, he's more upset that Optimus won and stopped the Harvester than being upset over his "masters" death. If Megatron truly intended on the Fallen being the boss, he would have let the Fallen be the one calling the shots. Instead the Fallen just says something and Megatron is like "Right, got it. Kill Prime, great. I'm gonna go now and do it my way." I guarantee you that if he had his old body, he would have either killed Megatronus himself after letting him distract Optimus, or would have let Optimus kill him, then kill Optimus while he's weak. 3rd movie. Yeah he's faster and in a more balanced and less awkward body, but let me remind you that Megatron suffering from a severe injury and is not in any condition to be in an active fight. Hence why he didn't react to Optimus blatantly telling him at the end of the movie that he's about to kill him despite being given more than e ough tike to react. It's not that he didn't see it coming, it's that he was still recovering and was in no condition to fight a proper battle. 4th film. This si where he is fully healed from his injuries and is now renamed Galvatron. He is back into a large, powerful, agile, and durable body that is very similar to his first body, just not as durable or nearly as strong. Meaning he is right back into his comfort zone. And what does he do in the one fight he has with Optimus? That's right. He lays down the fuckin law! He looked evenly matched with Optimus in this body. Sadly we didn't see much of him after that. 5th film. Ohhhhh boy. We don't see much of him but what is there is enough for me to say, this is hands down the strongest he's ever been. This is the strongest we've ever seen Optimus without a flight suit, and yet at the end of the movie despite him fighting Bumblebee, Hound, Hot Rod, Crossbars, and Drift at the same time and getting Optimus slicing off his arm from behind, he still bodies the Autobots and then proceeds to fuck up Optimus despite only having one arm and Optimus getting the jump on him. The only reason why he loses is because Optimus caught him monologing. As for Quintessa. Like the Fallen, I highly doubt he was going to let her stay in charge for very long. By the way he acts way more independently than Optimus, it tells me that he's not mind controlled by her and is only listening to her so she can kill Unicron and restore cybertron and his army. I guarantee you that once she was done doing that, he would have absolutely killed her and took back his throne.

Agreed, I also think Lockdown shines better because of how objectively bad his movie was compared to DOTM imo, as he was largely the only redeemable factor of it. Whilst Sentinel’s big reveal as a traitor hit hard for surprise factor, having Lockdown kill Ratchet within the first 5 mins of the movie instilled fear of what he was capable of, and showcased his cold “just business” nature.

[@Lu1zF3l1pe]

Not really. Aoe isn't "much worse" than dotm, and Lockdown isn't the only good thing there.

I have to go with Sentinel Prime because he was the only villain in the entire franchise that had enough of a personality and enough of a noticeable villain arc to be noteworthy.

[@birdiementlegen226]

The reason why the Fallen hates humanity was because he prioritises the survival of Cybertron and its inhabitants over other species and planets. He and the other primes in 13,000 BC built the star harvester on Earth before knowing that it actually has life. The other primes halted their project in order to let them flourish, but the Fallen wanted to continue anyways for the longevity of their species and was punished by his brothers. This why he dislikes humanity as they caused his banishment by his brother.

Sentinel Prime. He was as deceptive as a Decepticon, had a background story of him making a deal with Megatron, betrayed Autobots, killed Ironhide behind his back, almost won and got killed the same by Optimus. The line "You didn't betray me, you betrayed yourself" from Optimus still hits hard. The Fallen and Quintessa may have been powerful but they were underdeveloped characters. Lockdown was too cool to be killed off in the same movie he debuted, he was a wasted potential. Megatron became a joke after ROTF because he was weaker after each movie.

[@Leeked98]

The most notable thing he does is beat up optimus who’s equally as dumb as him in the first movie and nowhere near as strong as he is in the sequels. Other than that he killed jazz.. a toddler sized robot in comparison megatron does and is nothing in transformers 1 I really don’t get why people act like he was some unstoppable badass he’s nothing. In transformers 2 he’s equally as useless he sits on a pyramid yelling 2 commands the whole fight the supposed deception leader, meanwhile starscream is fighting the auto bots on the front lines with bonecrusher and the protoforms, giving commands to the decepticons such as rampage, hunting for sam, heavily damaging ironhide and I believe he killed one of the motorcycles (which isn’t impressive really but considering how ridiculous it is the decepticons lose to autobots a fraction their size and weight usually anyway) point is it’s still something. I’m sorry but I disagree. And it’s such a shame how Michael bay transformer fans other than me seem to be convinced starscream is the only character accurate to his original cartoon self when he’s the furthest thing from it. I don’t just see it this way since it’s how I saw it as a kid I’m pointing out what happened on screen Michael bay starscream is infinitely cooler than Michael bay megatron

In ROFT Megatron was weak was cause he wasn't used to his new body. He never got practice with his giant cannon and tiny arm.

[@CorruptEngieJR]

Sentinel Prime was my favorite as a kid and still is now. Leonard Nimoy adds much needed energy to the character and his devotion to Cybertron makes him compelling. He saw the eons of war as fruitless and opted to work with the Decepticons to end it all. It’s a shame these movies were such a mess cause there was some real potential to flesh him out more, say he tried to talk things out with Optimus and comes to respect humanity but still betrays them due to his loyalties. He’s too merciless which makes him too much like Megatron for my taste.

But the novel stated he took him out because next o Optimus, he would have give his plans trouble. Plus Sentinel was trying to keep his race, and planet a surviving chance.

For me, Sentinel wins when it comes to being a foil for Optimus and a meaningful villain, but the Fallen and Lockdown tie for fear factor. If the Fallen wasn't so old and weak that he needed his oxygen mask for any fight longer than a minute, he'd be the scariest. That teleport and magnetic power are frightening af.

@@Lu1zF3l1pe The teleporting, the gravity manipulation, and the fact that he's one of the first Primes means that he probably has access to a lot of forbidden or lost secrets akin to the Matrix of Leadership and Energon Harvester. If The Fallen was in the prime of his life, he would easily be the most deadly threat in the series (first 3 movies at least). I mean, he's the og Decepticon! He manipulated the planet into turning on Sam to alienate and corner him as soon as he arrived on Earth. Megatron can't do any of the things the Fallen can do. Megatron is scary in the first movie because the Transformers as a whole are a new thing to the world. He's 'the worst there is'. But in RotF he's following the Fallen's plan, and he's barely a credible threat in DotM. And yes! The Fallen does have his own theme, literally called "The Fallen" if you want to look it up.

If this was done in Cybertrom, he would've been viewed as a true hero. However, it was his coldness on earth and his disassociation from his friend's lives on earth that dealt him the final blow. Like Prime said, "he betrayed himself". He crossed a line with his friends in order to reach his goals. Goals founded on fear and trauma of losing his home, and it is this trauma that motivated him. If only they made the transformers films a tv show, it might've have time to developed. Though I understand that the movies always try to cramp as much sexual bot-xplosions as possible. Smh

@@jamainegardner4193 Sentinel didn’t easily overwhelm Optimus it was extremely difficult and Optimus was holding back against Sentinel because he was his former master Sentinel didn’t hold back at all against Optimus and wanted him long dead if Optimus went blood thirsty against Sentinel like he did in Transformers 2 he’d have beaten Sentinel at one point in the Fight he had a clear shot at killing Sentinel and didn’t do it because he’s never killed a Autobot before let alone his Master who he viewed as a Father figure

[@terrancegeorge5721]

@@jamainegardner4193 The Optimus that fought Sentinel only had his Battle Axe and Energon Blade he wasn’t as Powerful as Jetfire Optimus in any way whatsoever he’s much bigger stronger faster with powerful weaponry this Optimus would basically one shot Sentinel easily and as for The Fallen if you rewatch him he’s as Big as Jet Fire Optimus can teleport has Gravity manipulation and briefly overpowered Jetfire Optimus in Battle so The Fallen based off of size abilities and feats is Superior to Sentinel Prime and if we count the comics Sentinel stands even less of a chance as The Fallen can hop through different dimensions and can also grab some of the most powerful weapons to defeat a Opponent soloing multiple Primes

Closing with Lockdown's theme, epic!

[@StareachValcin]

Megatron was formidable as a villain, but loses some of his credibility as a villain by serving or working with the other villains in the Michael Bay films. The fallen was powerful, intimidating, and was shown to be the original decepticon. He seemed to be a bigger threat than Megatron. The fact that only a Prime could defeat him also raises his threat level, along the fact that the fallen is also a Prime. Sentinel Prime was more of a personal villain than a powerful one. Sentinel was formidable as a warrior and almost legitimately killed Optimus Prime if it wasn't for Megatron's interference. However, I believe that it was mainly because he knew Optimus Prime on a personal level. I don't think that Sentinel Prime was as powerful as the fallen, but was even more of a personal threat to Optimus Prime than even Megatron. Lockdown was a formidable threat to Optimus Prime and the autobots, but he ultimately served someone else, even if it was a paid job. He was definitely more ruthless than some of the other villains. Quintessa is arguably the most powerful enemy that Optimus Prime and the autobots have encountered, but she's also the villain we know the least about. I honestly think that the best overall villain in the franchise was the Fallen due to his influence on Megatron's path as a villain, and how he's arguably the second most powerful villain in the Michael Bay films.

good video. ending with lockdowns theme... masterpiece

[@GiuseppeDeRosa2001]

Really great put together video!! Great job!!!

[@dominicballinger6536]

Honestly, these movies were all a big blur to me at times. I loves revenge of the fallen as a kid, but honestly I think they all kinda suck. The cybertronians barely get any action whatsoever with the exception of movie 4, and there isn't much world building after that. In fact, there is a large ass gap between dotm and aoe, where Sam is gone, there are continually more autobots showing up which always confused me unless it was an allspark thing, and somehow there is a whole Whitwickey cult or something now in the last knight? The og show was very loony at times, yeah. But it's so rediculous that so much happens in between the movies and we don't have much explanation as to why it all happens, or what became of the ogs. That's just my opinion tho, I don't really keep up with all the plot and stuff, just put on the movies for nostalgia and stuff.

[@Zenn_Chan]

"Autobots, Decepticons. Like little children. Always fighting, making a mess out of the universe. Then I'VE got to clean it up!" This almost sounds like they were trying to write him as someone amoral with OCD. Not caring about ideals, but just wanting stuff to be nice and tidy. That sounds like a very interesting kind of villain. Someone who just doesn't give the slightest care about the political conflicts between the two sides, just viewing War as messy and wasteful. Could've been a REALLY interesting character if they took him in that direction. I've not seen AoE, but presumably that's NOT how they took him

For me lockdown is the best live action villain in Transformers movie , he's the predator of Transformers

[@KosmataBradva]

I've always been impressed how in such a trainwreck movie as 4, they managed to make a character as good and cool as Lockdown. One other thing you could have mentioned was the visual design. The eldritch egyptian alien design for the Fallen made him quite distinguishable from the standard over the top early Bay movies designs. Sentinel Prime's color really makes him stick out. And with the double sword, shield, wings, he truly looks like a honored hero. Making his betrayal more uncanny and to an extend disturbing, as he visually doesn't look like a bad guy. The human features on his face greatly helped to convay his emotions. Lockdown is entirely pragmatic in design, to the point of lacking all the flair Bay movies are known for. I was really disappointed the first time I saw him, thinking no way someone so boring looking could be anything more than a grunt. Yet it perfectly fits his character. Also, having probably the most human face of all Bay transformers (except Quintessa) goes a long way to express his demeanor. Lockdown is the only alien character in those movies, where I actively watch only his eyes. Great video anyway. We should give credit to anything good, even in the swamp that are Bay movies.

[@spooky_lxix9042]

fallen didn't adjust his trajectory he just using the speed impact while his flying plus the teleportation impact making it more devastating

[@grahambirch8563]

Is this a trick question and the answer is Michael Bay himself for somehow making all of his Transformers films unwatchably bad? I'll give him some credit for getting Peter Cullen, Frank Welker & Leonard Nimoy back for voicing duties, but that's about it. Side Note:- I'm aware some people actually like the bayverse transformer films, and if you do sorry for sh**ting on them so much, but as a fan since the original cartoons I did actively try my best to enjoy these films. I really did try. Several times, I tried to watch them. Each time i'd reach a breaking point and change channel, thinking i'm so glad I didn't pay to see this in a cinema.

[@marcelxd1633]

What brings teleporting in a little fight area

[@Sassaparilla]

@@marcelxd1633 teleporting allows you to instantly dodge attacks as long as there is any space, even if the space is relatively small. A large amount of close combat boils down to positioning, and teleportation is FREE positioning, meaning you can ALWAYS be in an advantageous stance compared to your opponent.

Lockdown was the best. He was intriguing

[@roam980]

Sentinel definitely the most compelling out of all the movies with his reasons to betray the autobots and how much of a gut punch it was. Though Megatron in the first movie is the most intimidating as he was built up throughout the film to be a force to be reckoned with, and in the third act he lives up to it being a powerhouse that stole the spotlight in every scene

[@itzdripcelotyt7145]

Honestly, the Fallen getting destroyed by Optimus like that was so stupid and unrealistic, even if he was weak and optimus was powered by Jetfire. The only realistic ending I could see with the autobots winning is if the Fallen got banished again like what the primes did to him. And Megatron was even worse getting beat up like that. I wish we got more individual knowledge on each of the primes such as their names and would have been so cool seeing a fully powered Megatronus.

[@tyleraguilar2474]

Nah I disagree the fallen wasn’t willing to enact his plan knowing that Optimus was there. I don’t think it’s fear of him but it was definitely concern

[@elishawilson5342]

Get banished again so he can try that again no Optimus was right to put him down

[@Lu1zF3l1pe]

Megatron was weak and made of crap. There is nothing unrealistic about him getting destroyed by an Optimus way bigger than him. Jetpower Optimus towers Megatron, and the only thing Megatron had before was more brute force than Optimus, and he didn't have it anymore
