Zandex623 They seemed to have made a few mistakes throughout the video, like fact with that the Transformers Animated series BumbleBee talks a lot in the series unlike in the films.
Actually, Arcee was written into the film first, but the film came out after The Search for Alpha Trion. (So Arcee is the first female created real-world, but not the first one we saw).
You got several of your facts wrong. Fact 26, there was a single episode that had multiple female Autobots in 1985's second series before the movie featuring Arcee. You also flip-flops on the movie being out in '85 or '86, the latter being correct. Fact 80, Bumblebee in Transformers Animated was fully voiced, it was Transformers Prime, the series AFTER that he was mute again, but at least they gave a better explanation as to why. This is not the first video I've seen of yours where your facts are often wrong.
fact 74 is wrong. beast wars mainly happens on ancient earth. maximals desend from autobots who won the war and saved humans. predacon desend from desepticons
26 is incorrect. Before Arcee was introduced in the August 1986 movie (not 1985), they introduced 4 females: Elita One, Chromia, Firestar and Moonracer in the episode "The Search for Alpha Trion" which aired in November 1985.
+Adesola Adenle Ikr I was heck no that's completely wrong there wasn't a moment in TFA when he wasn't talking. (not literally but seriously he almost never stopped talking) That was definitely TFP he done goofed on that fact.
You said "transformers prime miniseries." MINISERIES??? Wtf no it has 3 seasons AND a movie. And come ON, Alpha TREE-on?? PLEASE. Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Bumblebee could talk in Animated... and those are "gull-wing" doors on the Delorean. And I wish they'd mentioned all the different timelines and continuities.
hahaha no it doesn't. It's a bit childish, but it has really fun characters and it connects to the Transformers lore when it can. Plus, Optimus is in it...and Bumblebee!
The transformers didn't fail to save humanity in beast wars the maximals and pretacons just got there during the time that the transformers were still in stasis which is why there are only animals and cave men there.
As far as I know, the original idea for Beast Wars was that it continued directly on from the Generation 1 cartoon, though the whole "fail to save humanity" thing occurred in the Generation 2 comic in which an alien race called the Vok destroyed all of humanity. The Vok later make an appearance in Beast Wars. The plot was later changed to what you outlined, but it was initially that no humans were in sight because they were all dead and earth was back to a prehistoric state, Strange, huh?
+Diamond Bolt that explains the ghost of starscream ive always wondered what happened there, "why is starscream there possessing waspinator" I always asked myself I legit didn't know it was connected at all
+Diamond Bolt no, there is a episode when they find the Ark (with all the tf in stasis) and megatron find the ship with the decepticons (was deep in the ocean)... and i dont remember how but optimus primal and megatron get the spark of original optimus and original megatron and they became a new transformer. I remember that Megatron from Beast Wars was better than the original. The predacons win the beast war, and then start the new series Beast Machine, with the fight in Cybertron.
Cold Snake? Alpha "Tree-on"?? Come on, guys. Also, Autobot City from the movie is not Metroplex. It's just a city with a lot of defences. And the Autobot, Grimlock, transforms into a dinosaur instead of a car because he's, you know, a Dinobot.
+megagene They also forgot to mention that in the new Robots in Disguise cartoon, Grimlock is actually a Decepticon prisoner, and is recruited to join the small group of Autobots after he opposes a fellow Decepticon prisoner that has escaped from stasis.
+Geo Izumiya also guns, cassette recorders, boom boxes, pteranodons, insects, construction vehicles, mammals, cities, cannons, tanks, helicopters, motorcycles, etc. but yeah, they're all cars trucks and planes.
+megagene You're right that Metroplex isn't the city, but he does function as a defence fortress just inside the main gate. This is why during the 'Return of Optimus Prime', Rodimus Prime tries to go to the effort of putting him offline so the 'hate plague' wouldn't infect him.
The original Robots in Disguise, Energon and Cybertron are completely ignored, and Armada is barely referenced at all. The combined lore of Armada and Energon should have been acknowledged, as it was a fairly well-written, thorough, and long-running storyline. But, you've done a good job compiling an introductory primer for new fans. 'Til all are one! ...or perhaps a more fitting sentiment would be: "'Til the 2007 Transformers Movie series finally comes to a close" as this more accurately reflects the most pressing blight to Transformerdom currently.
Allow me to offer a counterpoint (Counterpunch?): Armada, Energon, and Cybertron were all diarhhea, hot molten robot garbage excrement and should be excised from continuity and the minds of anyone who respects TransFormer canon. :) Although I agree that BayFormers are complete shyte too!
Benjamin von Sück I understand this perspective -- it was rampant at BotCon 2003 -- but I had just begun my adult collecting around that time and was hungry for anything Transformers. As such, I embraced the then-current series, Armada, and found that although the medium was a bit awkward (it often felt like a bad dub job), there was much about the story that I found compelling. Starscream's complex motivations, and the Autobot's desire to offer an opportunity for redemption (despite knowing his Decepticon nature), created powerful character tales. His relationship with the children was particularly moving, to a degree not often found in a Transformers cartoon. The minicons, being a sentient point of contention with motivations of their own (rather than an inanimate target such as energon, or an abstract ambition such as conquest in general) created complexities that elevated the story. Now, I admit that my own willingness to see the best in this storyline represents a significant factor in my appreciation of it, but is this inappropriate somehow? So often we judge books, movies, etc., as though their merits exist independently from our own perspective. In reality, all things are in a state of relationship, and what we bring to the table in terms of point-of-view is an important (even inevitable) consideration. Armada is as good as you'll let it be, and I believe that it inherently possesses sufficient narrative quality to supply a willing participant with the tools to garner great satisfaction and enjoyment.
A few corrections: Fact 80 - Bumblebee did speak in Animated, it was in Prime that he had a damaged voice box. Fact 97 - Bumblebee did not took Optimus' catchphrase, he spent the entire first season trying to develop a new one.
I was thinking 107 obscure facts about individual cybertronians or something similar. Some people wouldn't know Autobot Springer was a member of the Autobot Black Ops Team "The Wreckers". Most of the facts here are pretty well known already, specially by the fans.
#97 - Bumblebee did not adopt the catchphrase "transform and roll out" from Optimus, but rather struggled for most of season 1 to find his own and finally settled on, "rev up and roll out."
Fact 54: Not all G1 toys had a rub sign. The 84-85 line had nothing. And there were tons of knockoffs (and in the case of Jetfire: legal copies) When the second wave of toys came out 85-86 they had the rubsign. Did you even talk to kids from the 80's? It's not like we are hard to find.
I was able to get a G1 reproduction toy of gun Megatron into Australia when I bought it off ebay back in 2009. If I am not mistaken, the only one that is illegal to import was the Masterpirece version of him that was more to scale with a real gun when transformed. Or I got really lucky and my toy went through customs unnoticed.
the first appearance of female character wasn't in the 1986 movie, there was an episode depicting a whole race of female autobots on cybertron, namely; elita 1, moonracer, chromia, and firestar.
I remember when Transfomers first aired. I got off the school bus and walked slowly into the house. I turned on the TV and could not believe what I had just seen. From then on, I dashed off that bus like a crazy person. I remember some of the gangs used to use the Autobot and Decepticon logos. It was also adopted by hip hop culture. I had collected lots of the toys. I remember when The 1986 film commercial started airing too. Man those were the days.
Micheal bays transfomers movies in a nutshell: EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS CAR CRASHES EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS poitntless side love story and a bit of backstory EXPLOSION *EXPLOSION*
Transformers beast wars reveals that the auto bots failed to save the humans... Um what? Where did you hear that? LOL i haha i'm sorry please tell me where you heard that or found that. Cuss the Beast wars show and the tfwiki for beast wars never said any thing about that. HAHA Bumblebee cant talk in animated ? LOL haha omg dude haha so~ i can't even. That was transformers prime that he couldn't talk in like in the movies. Omg i am laughing my ass off over all this stuff i love it! Oh man i hope most of the's "facts" are jokes if they are then this vid is awesome. But if it's not trying to be a joke then somethings wrong because most of these "facts" aren't true or are mixed up.
Chome- Dome ok i'll look that beast wars thing. but that thing about animated bee is not true it was prime he most likely got his facts mixed up. As for that bit about bee and herbie that wasn't true ether it was Volkswagen that sed no. They didn't want their cars represented as a weapon/part of war. Btw i'm not pickin on him im tryin to help him by letting him know he might want to recheck his facts a bit more before posting on youtube. And i did find it funny i was laughing and enjoying the video. It's like listening to weird al parodying your fave song/band. It's so bad it's funny. And i like to laugh.
+Chome- Dome i think if youre going to make a fact video aimed at such a large audience, you should probably be doing more than just skimming the wikia.... :\
I'm going to sound like the biggest nitpicking nerdy Transformers fan ever... but... Quintesson isn't that hard to pronounce! It's pronounced "Quin-teh-sin" not "Quin-ta-son". I'm not going to point out the mistake in #80 because everyone did, mind you. Also, in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, while Optimus Prime did pass on leadership to Bumblebee, he did NOT pass on "Transform and Roll Out". It was a running gag that Bumblebee couldn't think of his own catchphrase! How did you even...? Also, this may just be personal, but you spent almost the entire thing talking about G1 and its history, which is fine really. But if you were going to only kind-of-sort-of-not-really touch on the Japanese cartoons (Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, Victory, Beast Wars II, and Beast Wars Neo, though you didn't even mention Transformers Zone), Beast Wars and Beast Machines, the original RiB, the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, the Movies, Prime, Rescue Bots (which you didn't even mention, despite it being the first and only proper Transformers cartoon aimed at a preschool audience), or the new RiB... why didn't you just make separate videos for at least a couple of them? Pit, it was kind of heartbreaking that you mentioned the Marvel run of the comics but not the IDW, which has (especially in recent years with such storylines as All Hail Megatron, Last Stand of the Wreckers, More than Meets the Eye, Robots in Disguise, the Combiner Wars, Windblade, and Sins of the Wreckers) in recent years become just as iconic as the cartoon for being geared more towards its adult fanbase. I think there's a lot of potential you could have covered. Transformers has a much richer and more engaging history than you portrayed it as having. You could have made separate videos for, say, G1, the Beast Era, the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, the Movies, and the Aligned Continuity. I understand that making even a single video for this takes time, but Transformers is too big of a franchise to cover in one broad stroke of 107 measly facts that pretty much focused on the G1 series alone. Actually take the time to properly research and put together all your information to avoid mistakes that make you seem like you just didn't care. I know I'm making a bigger deal out of this than I really had to, but I was really excited to see what this list would look like. I've been a ginormous fangirl of Transformers for 27 years. And I was disappointed that by the end of the video I could honestly answer your question from the beginning, "Do you think you know everything about Transformers?" with a resounding, "I sure as Primus and the Pits of Kaon know a lot more than you do, sir."
Just out of curiosity which of the newer shows do people prefer, Animated or Prime? As someone who's recently watched both of them again back to back I have to say that Animated was easily the more enjoyable of the two for me
TheJadedEagle Yeah the animation worked very well for Prime and it had some good characters in there. However none of the characters seemed to know what they actually wanted to do (Starscream for example).
No. 80. Bumblebee in Transformers Animated CAN speak. He speaks a LOT. In fact in the episode "Black Friday", Prowl makes a bet with Bumblebee that he can't go 10 cycles (about 15 minutes) without talking, which Bumblebee was only able to do after he was poisoned and left unconscious and paralyzed for 5 hours. Bumblebee in Transformers Prime is based on the Bayformers version.
Can we all just stop for a moment and appreciate the awesomeness of the fact that Spider-Man once (make that twice) teamed up with the Autobots to fight the Decepticons, in addition to the fact that Spidey's DNA is a superior substitute for Energon?
should have been more facts about Transformers Prime! Besides the original 1984 series Prime secondly only to Beast Wars was one of the best if not the best Transformations adaptation in my opinion.
So prime is apparently a mini series even though it had three seasons and lasted from 2010-2013 but robots in disguise, the follow up series, that started in 2015,I'm pretty sure anyway, isn't. How does that work?
Number 80 Transformers Animated, Bumblebee could speak in that series. I think it was Transformers Prime cartoon that Bumblebee was unable to speak and using the radio till the last episode, when he got his voice box fixed. Just wondering on G-1 Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, plus some of the others that Soundwave had with him an the crew with Blaster. How come no info was given on the type of bots they are if they was Minicons or just human size bots? Could make for a interesting add on for 2nd 107 Facts type video, with bit more info going with the Beast Wars, Beast Machines, plus some of the other Transformers shows. As a plus, 2015 Transformers Robots in disguise was the 2nd show to go by the Robots in disguise anime late 90's to early 2000 give or take? Was shown in the USA.
There are easy errors in this, I mean watch 1 episode of Animated and their "silent Bumblebee fact is easily proven wrong, showing none of the people at Channel Frederator ever watched the shows
Fact #108 Tidal Wave, known for his appearance in Transformers Energon, is the only known homosexual transformer. This was however removed in the dub from japanese into english.
Kaoslord Didn't state his first appearance was in Energon, just that he is a known character from there. More pronounced of a character in Energon then in Armada IMO.
Though I don't like the look of TA, it's my favorite when it comes to storyline and characters. It has a unique spin and sense of humor that makes it unique among the various incarnations of the franchise, but also contains many throwbacks to the previous series's so you don't feel alienated.
I haven't watched Animated, but I wasn't as impressed by RiD2015 as I was by Prime. Although I would recommend Minikoontzy's "Nature of the Beast", which is a much more well-written take on RiD2015, and actually worth the time.
Oryan Prime I tried watching 2015 rid but I got so so bored... it's like Prime but without all the Decepticons, they tried aiming at the younger audience with that one... And I kinda liked TA, the story had a few rough edges but it's fun to watch, nothing compared to Prime ofc, that show is sooo good!!
+TaisWolf How far did you get? Just wondering, because I've found a few episodes that are actually tolerable. That being said, though, after watching the first episodes of the newest season, I swear that the writers of the series are trying on purpose to make people hate it...
+CartoonHangover Transformers animated Optimus Prime's name to Japan when prior to that they used to call him Convoy. also the first appearance of Female Autobots was in the g1 episode The Search for Alpha Trion.
Osiris Junk I find its too child friendly unlike Prime, that one was good. Just waiting for Machinima's Combiner Wars seen as its ment to be more adult
Bumblebee was able to talk in animated in fact he was the talkative person in the show maybe one episode he broke his voice box but besides that he talks.
Um sorry to be that guy but fact 80 is incorrect. Animated Bumblebee never had his voice box damaged. It was tampered with and set to sound like Tom Kenny but it wasn't damaged. Bee did indeed have a busted voice box in Prime which could not be repaired by medical means due to it's Biomechanicle nature. This was fixed by a Cybertronian device made by Primus by the end of the series however. So perhaps you meant to list prime at 80 and not Animated. Sorry again about the correction but it is a bit of a major mistake if you have watched Animated.
Truth be told, it was actually Beast Wars that introduced me to the Transformers project. I really liked watching Beast Wars, but even when I watched it as a child, I knew absolutely nothing about the Transformers. I used to think Beast Wars was actually its own animation project, and not a spinoff. But then I saw Transformers The Movie, and hearing the familiar names made me realize: Beast Wars was always a spinoff of Transformers! Today, I have a major appreciation for the Transformers Project. I have seen every single episode of Generation 1 and Beast Wars, And I love both projects. In fact, in my list of my sixteen favorite animated television series, Beast Wars is at #9 and Transformers Generation 1 is at #10. I also like Transformers Animated, but that is mostly because it played on Cartoon Network at the same time as Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (and also because of the G1 names I had come to know and love).
You were wrong about the Beast Wars with respect to saving humanity. The characters were sent into the past and saved humanity from being wiped out by the predacons before they could evolve (in one of the most kick-ass battles ever). I would replace that fact with how Megatron has not always been a gun. A frequent alternative alt-mode has been a tank.
#26 is partially incorrect, as female Transformers were introduced in Season 2 BEFORE the movie. #92 also needs to be corrected, as Transformers: Prime was a FULL series, not just the initial five part miniseries.
Fact 80 is incorrect. Bumblebee was able to speak in Transformers Animated. It was Transformers Prime in which Bumblebee shared the similar malfunction of his movie counter part.
I have some facts on transformers too. 1. The voice actor of Optimus primal in beast wars was also the voice of Optimus prime in animated. 2. The voice actor of cliffjumper in g1 is also the voice of shaggy in scooby doo. 3. Swoop was changed to strafe recently (nice job hasbro). 4. Optimus had a girlfriend in g1 named elita one. 5. In transformers animated tom Kenny voiced jetfire/Skyfire.
ay CH. Lookie here. just here to say that your last 13 uploads (including this) have all been 107 facts. I mean, I'm sure people love these videos, but I'm not so much into them. _Not saying they're bad, they're actually very well edited_ but some people like me, are here for the dedicated animations like Bee and Puppycat, Bravest Warriors, And some even paid money on kickstarter. *Bravest Warriors* All I need is a release date to get hyped, because we've heard literally nothing about these series. At least I read on the reddit that you actually ARE working on the series, which is pretty cool on itself, but still not enough to keep me entertained. We've also missed several deadlines, and no word has gone out (_as far as I know_) *Bee and Puppycat* Lol, I remember me and my friends would talk for AGES about Bee and Puppycat. Now half of them forgot what it is. I would LOVE if you could reply with details on these amazing series. Much luv
Man I used to love Transformers back in the day. I remember I got this toy for Christmas when I was in 2nd grade (about 12 years ago) where Optimus Prime was the Semi truck we know him as today, which was weird because until then I had only known him as a fire truck. He had a little airplane that came with him that turned into his gun, and I thought it was so awesome. I took it to school once and it got stolen, which was a very sad day for me. :/
transformers animated bumblebee could talk. all he did was talk...HE WOULDN'T SHUT UP!
sonerec725, YOU GOT A LOT OF 👍FOR THAT (HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT BUMBLEBEE!!!😲😑
37👍?!
Stop saying based off of, it's 'based upon' or on. Don't they teach proper English in murkaland?
sonerec725 well I mean that's what most people loved about bee or I'm I the only one?
yeah and he is childish for a legendary scout he plays games just nothing goes together
actually there was already a female before the movie. her name was elita-one
THANK YOU!!
thank you ma boi
Not to mention Chromia, Moonracer, and Firestar who with Elita One appeared in G1 S2 E37 "The Search for Alpha Trion."
Zandex623 They seemed to have made a few mistakes throughout the video, like fact with that the Transformers Animated series BumbleBee talks a lot in the series unlike in the films.

Fact 80 is wrong, Bumblebee would talk a lot in Transformers Animated, it's in Transformers Prime that he has a damaged voice box
beat me to it! Yes he talked all the time!
+rbraunbeck96 I was just about to say the same thing
Yeah that confused the heck out of me. He was in fact one of the biggest chatterboxes in Transformers Animated.
I was about to state the same thing! Glad I was not the only one who noticed.
thats right number 80 is wrong!!!
I think he got TF Animated mixed up with TF Prime for fact #80.
Yeah...
Yea
RandomBlackGamer I subscribed to u :-)
Yeah they did. I had to rewind it and hear it again to make sure I heard right.
Ricky McGowen
I did that, too...
Plz tell me there was an episode like that in Animated :3
You got several of your facts wrong.

+glyphsaiyan858 Yeah Very True And Also Fact Number 52 Is Wrong Transformers Can't Fucking Mate They are ROBOTS!
Connor Metcalf They're not fully robots tho.
Not enough TFA. Hell, did anyone there WATCH TFA? Bumblebee was a total chatterbox.
Mazao G me
Watched it three times
Correction : four times
fact 74 is wrong. beast wars mainly happens on ancient earth. maximals desend from autobots who won the war and saved humans. predacon desend from desepticons
Bumblebee COULD speak in Transformers animated. You're thinking of Transformers Prime!!
+Hewylewis Thats what I was thinking!
I was going a bit crazy for a moment thinking that part of my childhood was made up…
+Hewylewis I thought I was the only one who notices he got that wrong.
Teresa Mullooly No... Not really.
+Hewylewis well compared to animated prime is way better
26 is incorrect. Before Arcee was introduced in the August 1986 movie (not 1985), they introduced 4 females: Elita One, Chromia, Firestar and Moonracer in the episode "The Search for Alpha Trion" which aired in November 1985.
Actually I think there were 6 or 5
You got a fact wrong. 80 is supposed to be Transformers: Prime Bumblebee. The one from Animated can speak.
Um... Bumblebee can speak in transformers animated, I think u meant transformers prime
I was gonna say
+Adesola Adenle I facepalmed so hard at that.
+Adesola Adenle Ikr I was heck no that's completely wrong there wasn't a moment in TFA when he wasn't talking. (not literally but seriously he almost never stopped talking) That was definitely TFP he done goofed on that fact.
Until the end when he got revived and stabbed ol' Meg's in the chest. xD
THE TRANSFORMERS ARE NOT ROBOTS THEY ARE AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC ORGANISMS FROM THE PLANET CYBERTRON
Transformer Fangirl22 your right they are not robots
I know everyone at school teases me because the slogan controversies something optimus prime has said multiple times

They're ROBOTS. ORGANIC ROBOTS, you literally just said that hypocrite
"...and Wheeljack in Dark of the Moon-"

You said "transformers prime miniseries." MINISERIES??? Wtf no it has 3 seasons AND a movie.
And come ON, Alpha TREE-on?? PLEASE.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Jayla Hollie 4 seasons i think

ohh sorry wrong comment i meant g1
Jayla Hollie we need diamond bolt
Calling Diamondbolt.
Bumblebee could actually speak in Transformers Animated. He couldn't speak in Transformers Prime.
"They transformed into common house hold objects." I know right? I hate tripping over all these Walther PPKs!
T59 same dude gets me every time
Bumblebee could talk in Animated... and those are "gull-wing" doors on the Delorean.
And I wish they'd mentioned all the different timelines and continuities.
No mention of Rescue Bots? It premiered in 2011 and is still an ongoing series :)
barbaro267 it sucks
hahaha no it doesn't. It's a bit childish, but it has really fun characters and it connects to the Transformers lore when it can. Plus, Optimus is in it...and Bumblebee!
Good series at that

Fuck you. It's good for a show.

god you know every thing
+Diamond Bolt that explains the ghost of starscream ive always wondered what happened there, "why is starscream there possessing waspinator" I always asked myself I legit didn't know it was connected at all
+Diamond Bolt no, there is a episode when they find the Ark (with all the tf in stasis) and megatron find the ship with the decepticons (was deep in the ocean)... and i dont remember how but optimus primal and megatron get the spark of original optimus and original megatron and they became a new transformer. I remember that Megatron from Beast Wars was better than the original. The predacons win the beast war, and then start the new series Beast Machine, with the fight in Cybertron.
Cold Snake? Alpha "Tree-on"?? Come on, guys.
Also, Autobot City from the movie is not Metroplex. It's just a city with a lot of defences. And the Autobot, Grimlock, transforms into a dinosaur instead of a car because he's, you know, a Dinobot.
+megagene It was meant to be said because almost all transformers transform into cars or planes XD
+megagene They also forgot to mention that in the new Robots in Disguise cartoon, Grimlock is actually a Decepticon prisoner, and is recruited to join the small group of Autobots after he opposes a fellow Decepticon prisoner that has escaped from stasis.
+Geo Izumiya also guns, cassette recorders, boom boxes, pteranodons, insects, construction vehicles, mammals, cities, cannons, tanks, helicopters, motorcycles, etc. but yeah, they're all cars trucks and planes.
+megagene i think he meant lockdown
+megagene You're right that Metroplex isn't the city, but he does function as a defence fortress just inside the main gate. This is why during the 'Return of Optimus Prime', Rodimus Prime tries to go to the effort of putting him offline so the 'hate plague' wouldn't infect him.
The original Robots in Disguise, Energon and Cybertron are completely ignored, and Armada is barely referenced at all. The combined lore of Armada and Energon should have been acknowledged, as it was a fairly well-written, thorough, and long-running storyline. But, you've done a good job compiling an introductory primer for new fans. 'Til all are one! ...or perhaps a more fitting sentiment would be: "'Til the 2007 Transformers Movie series finally comes to a close" as this more accurately reflects the most pressing blight to Transformerdom currently.
Allow me to offer a counterpoint (Counterpunch?): Armada, Energon, and Cybertron were all diarhhea, hot molten robot garbage excrement and should be excised from continuity and the minds of anyone who respects TransFormer canon. :) Although I agree that BayFormers are complete shyte too!
Benjamin von Sück I understand this perspective -- it was rampant at BotCon 2003 -- but I had just begun my adult collecting around that time and was hungry for anything Transformers. As such, I embraced the then-current series, Armada, and found that although the medium was a bit awkward (it often felt like a bad dub job), there was much about the story that I found compelling.
Starscream's complex motivations, and the Autobot's desire to offer an opportunity for redemption (despite knowing his Decepticon nature), created powerful character tales. His relationship with the children was particularly moving, to a degree not often found in a Transformers cartoon. The minicons, being a sentient point of contention with motivations of their own (rather than an inanimate target such as energon, or an abstract ambition such as conquest in general) created complexities that elevated the story.
Now, I admit that my own willingness to see the best in this storyline represents a significant factor in my appreciation of it, but is this inappropriate somehow? So often we judge books, movies, etc., as though their merits exist independently from our own perspective. In reality, all things are in a state of relationship, and what we bring to the table in terms of point-of-view is an important (even inevitable) consideration.
Armada is as good as you'll let it be, and I believe that it inherently possesses sufficient narrative quality to supply a willing participant with the tools to garner great satisfaction and enjoyment.
You should be writing poetry! That was beautiful. Maybe I need to look at these series with fresh eyes.
Benjamin von Sück Haha, thanks, Ben!
Considering there are supposedly fourteen more movie plots outlined... Yeah, that might be a while.
Bee can talk in transformers animated I think you got mixed up with transformers prime
CrAvE Diamond also in war of cybertron
A few corrections:
Fact 80 - Bumblebee did speak in Animated, it was in Prime that he had a damaged voice box.

Bumblebee could speak in Transformers Animated!! He couldn't speak in Transformers PRIME!!!! Get it right.
I was thinking 107 obscure facts about individual cybertronians or something similar. Some people wouldn't know Autobot Springer was a member of the Autobot Black Ops Team "The Wreckers".
Most of the facts here are pretty well known already, specially by the fans.
Tonezone117 Well the title says 107 facts you SHOULD know, so...
Which Transformer is The Best?

5:21 Arcee wasn't the first female transformer, Chromia, Moonracer, and Firestarter were, along with their Autobot leader Elita-One
You guys mentioned Arcee, but you didn't mention the first Cybertronian females who appeared in the episode "The Search for Alpha Trion" in season 2.
#97 - Bumblebee did not adopt the catchphrase "transform and roll out" from Optimus, but rather struggled for most of season 1 to find his own and finally settled on, "rev up and roll out."
#49: *mentions that Optimus has died over 25 times*
Cliffjumper: First time?
Fact 54: Not all G1 toys had a rub sign. The 84-85 line had nothing. And there were tons of knockoffs (and in the case of Jetfire: legal copies) When the second wave of toys came out 85-86 they had the rubsign. Did you even talk to kids from the 80's? It's not like we are hard to find.
I was able to get a G1 reproduction toy of gun Megatron into Australia when I bought it off ebay back in 2009. If I am not mistaken, the only one that is illegal to import was the Masterpirece version of him that was more to scale with a real gun when transformed. Or I got really lucky and my toy went through customs unnoticed.
Nah the G1 toy was 1:1 scale of the real P35. The Masterpiece was drastically bigger
You can import Megatron to anywhere as long as he is shipped in robot mode.
Why did this make me laugh?
I wished I would get a MP-36 Masterpiece Megatron for Christmas 2017.....
Still waiting
Probably ask for it for my birthday
gutz1981 can I see a picture cause I think my dad has one
the first appearance of female character wasn't in the 1986 movie, there was an episode depicting a whole race of female autobots on cybertron, namely; elita 1, moonracer, chromia, and firestar.
Fun Fact: Tha Voice Actress behind Arcee in Transformers Prime named her baby son Jack, after the human companion whom Arcee spent time with in Prime.
I remember when Transfomers first aired. I got off the school bus and walked slowly into the house. I turned on the TV and could not believe what I had just seen. From then on, I dashed off that bus like a crazy person. I remember some of the gangs used to use the Autobot and Decepticon logos. It was also adopted by hip hop culture. I had collected lots of the toys. I remember when The 1986 film commercial started airing too. Man those were the days.
"Decept" aka The Decepticons still exist in Brooklyn.

Transformers beast wars reveals that the auto bots failed to save the humans... Um what? Where did you hear that? LOL i haha i'm sorry please tell me where you heard that or found that. Cuss the Beast wars show and the tfwiki for beast wars never said any thing about that. HAHA Bumblebee cant talk in animated ? LOL haha omg dude haha so~ i can't even. That was transformers prime that he couldn't talk in like in the movies. Omg i am laughing my ass off over all this stuff i love it! Oh man i hope most of the's "facts" are jokes if they are then this vid is awesome. But if it's not trying to be a joke then somethings wrong because most of these "facts" aren't true or are mixed up.
Hey, it's real to just skim the Transformers wikia and be accurate in any way, give them a break!
Chome- Dome ok i'll look that beast wars thing. but that thing about animated bee is not true it was prime he most likely got his facts mixed up. As for that bit about bee and herbie that wasn't true ether it was Volkswagen that sed no. They didn't want their cars represented as a weapon/part of war. Btw i'm not pickin on him im tryin to help him by letting him know he might want to recheck his facts a bit more before posting on youtube. And i did find it funny i was laughing and enjoying the video. It's like listening to weird al parodying your fave song/band. It's so bad it's funny. And i like to laugh.
+Chome- Dome i think if youre going to make a fact video aimed at such a large audience, you should probably be doing more than just skimming the wikia.... :\
+Vexatron Primal Ya Pretty sure Optimal Optimus SAVED humanity be merging with the matrix and repairing G1 prime.
The Maximals are the true heroes of Earth and Cybertron (Pre-BM) and history may never know.
I didnt think I would but I already knew everthing in this video
bumblebee actually can speak and he makes it very renowned in transformers animated
fact 80 is false bumblebee can talk in transformers animated. but in transformers prime, he can't talk
Make that 108: Hasbro is planning to make a shared CU like Marvel. Kickstarters would be GI Joe and TRANSFORMERS.
I'm going to sound like the biggest nitpicking nerdy Transformers fan ever... but...
Quintesson isn't that hard to pronounce! It's pronounced "Quin-teh-sin" not "Quin-ta-son".
I'm not going to point out the mistake in #80 because everyone did, mind you.
Also, in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, while Optimus Prime did pass on leadership to Bumblebee, he did NOT pass on "Transform and Roll Out". It was a running gag that Bumblebee couldn't think of his own catchphrase! How did you even...?
Also, this may just be personal, but you spent almost the entire thing talking about G1 and its history, which is fine really. But if you were going to only kind-of-sort-of-not-really touch on the Japanese cartoons (Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, Victory, Beast Wars II, and Beast Wars Neo, though you didn't even mention Transformers Zone), Beast Wars and Beast Machines, the original RiB, the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, the Movies, Prime, Rescue Bots (which you didn't even mention, despite it being the first and only proper Transformers cartoon aimed at a preschool audience), or the new RiB... why didn't you just make separate videos for at least a couple of them? Pit, it was kind of heartbreaking that you mentioned the Marvel run of the comics but not the IDW, which has (especially in recent years with such storylines as All Hail Megatron, Last Stand of the Wreckers, More than Meets the Eye, Robots in Disguise, the Combiner Wars, Windblade, and Sins of the Wreckers) in recent years become just as iconic as the cartoon for being geared more towards its adult fanbase.
I think there's a lot of potential you could have covered. Transformers has a much richer and more engaging history than you portrayed it as having. You could have made separate videos for, say, G1, the Beast Era, the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, the Movies, and the Aligned Continuity. I understand that making even a single video for this takes time, but Transformers is too big of a franchise to cover in one broad stroke of 107 measly facts that pretty much focused on the G1 series alone. Actually take the time to properly research and put together all your information to avoid mistakes that make you seem like you just didn't care.
I know I'm making a bigger deal out of this than I really had to, but I was really excited to see what this list would look like. I've been a ginormous fangirl of Transformers for 27 years. And I was disappointed that by the end of the video I could honestly answer your question from the beginning, "Do you think you know everything about Transformers?" with a resounding, "I sure as Primus and the Pits of Kaon know a lot more than you do, sir."
what exactly is scary about the name "megatron"??? hOW DID THIS GUY REACT TO HEARING "STARSCREAM" FOR THE FIRST TIME???
Bumblebee in Prime couldn't talk, Bumblebee in Animated couldn't STOP talking.
BWF
Just out of curiosity which of the newer shows do people prefer, Animated or Prime? As someone who's recently watched both of them again back to back I have to say that Animated was easily the more enjoyable of the two for me
Prime.
TheJadedEagle How come? Just out of interest
It's got great character development, emotional depth, impressive action and some light mature themes. Plus I like the semi-stylized cg animation.
TheJadedEagle Yeah the animation worked very well for Prime and it had some good characters in there. However none of the characters seemed to know what they actually wanted to do (Starscream for example).
jack robinson I never really got that impression. Plus I think that's just Starscream being starscream.
Wow, yet another 107 facts video, not even a submitted/stand in animation - let alone Bee and Puppycat or Bravest Warriors.
+Rubsy Moon I've given up waiting.
you get what you're given you!
In the movie version that was not wheeljack that was Que
SANJAY PATEL Que is Wheeljack, he was just rebuilt.
And in the animated movie, it was just called Autobot City. It did not "transform into Metroplex".
Que's action figure is called Wheeljack
Ehr... Que IS Wheeljack. And Dino is Mirage. Don't ask.
SANJAY PATEL Que is Wheeljack.
No. 80. Bumblebee in Transformers Animated CAN speak. He speaks a LOT. In fact in the episode "Black Friday", Prowl makes a bet with Bumblebee that he can't go 10 cycles (about 15 minutes) without talking, which Bumblebee was only able to do after he was poisoned and left unconscious and paralyzed for 5 hours.
Bumblebee in Transformers Prime is based on the Bayformers version.
Can we all just stop for a moment and appreciate the awesomeness of the fact that Spider-Man once (make that twice) teamed up with the Autobots to fight the Decepticons, in addition to the fact that Spidey's DNA is a superior substitute for Energon?
should have been more facts about Transformers Prime! Besides the original 1984 series Prime secondly only to Beast Wars was one of the best if not the best Transformations adaptation in my opinion.
+Selvokaz i grew up with the 84 series and Prime is still the best adaptation.
+Selvokaz prime was always my fave
Selvokaz,yeah it was,wasn't it? But I just wish it had more episodes of season 3 and more seasons too.😊☺
at least tfp(transformers Prime) was.I never really liked tfbw(transformers beast wars).
me too
Fact 105: Good thing Transformers turn into robots, otherwise I would have been in quite a pickle trying to get my Megatron figure into Australia!
So prime is apparently a mini series even though it had three seasons and lasted from 2010-2013 but robots in disguise, the follow up series, that started in 2015,I'm pretty sure anyway, isn't. How does that work?
RedRod M A G I C
Don't forget Rescue Bots and sequel to that Rescue Bots Academy, which are a sub series to Prime and links in with Robots in Disguise 2015 series.
Number 80 Transformers Animated, Bumblebee could speak in that series.
I think it was Transformers Prime cartoon that Bumblebee was unable to
speak and using the radio till the last episode, when he got his voice
box fixed.
Just wondering on G-1 Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, plus some of the others that Soundwave had with him an the crew with Blaster. How come no info was given on the type of bots they are if they was Minicons or just human size bots? Could make for a interesting add on for 2nd 107 Facts type video, with bit more info going with the Beast Wars, Beast Machines, plus some of the other Transformers shows. As a plus, 2015 Transformers Robots in disguise was the 2nd show to go by the Robots in disguise anime late 90's to early 2000 give or take? Was shown in the USA.
Really well done and professional. Love that you kept everything chronological (rather than tossing everything in randomly).
There are easy errors in this, I mean watch 1 episode of Animated and their "silent Bumblebee fact is easily proven wrong, showing none of the people at Channel Frederator ever watched the shows
I count about 7 fact mistakes, but I appreciate the effort
I had to stop watching this because half of the facts presented here are flat-out wrong.
32
Carrie Fisher will be missed 😭
Fact #108
Tidal Wave, known for his appearance in Transformers Energon, is the only known homosexual transformer. This was however removed in the dub from japanese into english.
I didnt know that but you got one thing wrong; his first apearance was armada unless the dub added him
Kaoslord Didn't state his first appearance was in Energon, just that he is a known character from there. More pronounced of a character in Energon then in Armada IMO.
+Crookedstar true. Can't argue with that.
Indeed, and the target of Tidal Wave's homosexual affection Megatron.
"Gimlock turns into a dinosaur, because why not?"Boi he has never been anything but a dinosaur
Bee could talk in transformers animated and Elita and the girls came before Arcee !
Really enjoyed the prime series. Is the animated series (2008) and the robots in disguise(2015) worth watching?
Though I don't like the look of TA, it's my favorite when it comes to storyline and characters. It has a unique spin and sense of humor that makes it unique among the various incarnations of the franchise, but also contains many throwbacks to the previous series's so you don't feel alienated.
Definitely! They are both just as good as Prime!
I haven't watched Animated, but I wasn't as impressed by RiD2015 as I was by Prime. Although I would recommend Minikoontzy's "Nature of the Beast", which is a much more well-written take on RiD2015, and actually worth the time.
Oryan Prime I tried watching 2015 rid but I got so so bored... it's like Prime but without all the Decepticons, they tried aiming at the younger audience with that one... And I kinda liked TA, the story had a few rough edges but it's fun to watch, nothing compared to Prime ofc, that show is sooo good!!
+TaisWolf How far did you get? Just wondering, because I've found a few episodes that are actually tolerable. That being said, though, after watching the first episodes of the newest season, I swear that the writers of the series are trying on purpose to make people hate it...
Animated Bumblebee did speak
It's funny how they got one of the facts wrong.
three facts actually.
Tbh, Transformers: Prime will ALWAYS be my favourite tv show.
I can honestly say that you appear to make some facts up as you go along.. I could name most of them, but it would take me a week to write them all..
bumblebee can speak in transformers animated
Ravage was in the 2009 movie.
who else misses Transformers the Animated Series
Soldier Flex gotta admit I was not the biggest fan of animated but it is better than the new RID rescue bots and transformers energon combined
It wasn't called "The Animated Series", it was just called Animated. But yeah, i miss it. Best TF Show to date.
Same
Soldier Flex do you mean the transformers G1?
Yes i miss it so much it was one of my favorite shows for TF.
15:01
no, strongarm WOULDNT, she would walk right up to Michael Bay and demand that Megan Fox wear a seatbelt
Beast Wars...won an Emmy...for animation...what the hell.
In my opinion the show animation didnt age well cause it looks so weird to me
107 facts about evreything
+Braydon Krueger ON IT
+CartoonHangover Transformers animated Optimus Prime's name to Japan when prior to that they used to call him Convoy. also the first appearance of Female Autobots was in the g1 episode The Search for Alpha Trion.
It was bad to have girls in a boy toylike but it was okay to have sissy gay bots like Starscream.
+altarush yep cause people Kinda like that
+maskedwarrior that's what I too said thank you for know transformer history
Fact #108: The newest Transformers series sucks with it's animation and character design
American!RID? I like it
seconded
+Osiris Junk its character design is bad but not the animation
+Phantom FanAJ You're lucky that you're able to enjoy it
Osiris Junk I find its too child friendly unlike Prime, that one was good. Just waiting for Machinima's Combiner Wars seen as its ment to be more adult
A few wrong facts there :)
Even Watchmojo does the same thing. They aught a double check on their trivia next time.
More than a few, at least 25% of them are wrong
Getting only 3 wrong facts out of 107 is pretty impressive, but weird, since you got the most obscure ones right.
+ArchNemisis say more than 3, or apologize to mister Fred.
that was just so good.I have a crush on Optimus Prime from tfp (transformers Prime).
I came expecting to LEARN!!!
the only thing I learned is that I am a bigger nerd than I realized...
Wow, did you know that Grimlock turns into a dinosaur instead of a car? BECAUSE I SURE DIDN'T! WHO COULD'VE FRICKING GUESSED?!
The fact that you called the matrix of leadership the "leadership matrix" bothers me.
Bumblebee was able to talk in animated in fact he was the talkative person in the show maybe one episode he broke his voice box but besides that he talks.
The last one made me laugh omgggggg XD
Um sorry to be that guy but fact 80 is incorrect. Animated Bumblebee never had his voice box damaged. It was tampered with and set to sound like Tom Kenny but it wasn't damaged.
Bee did indeed have a busted voice box in Prime which could not be repaired by medical means due to it's Biomechanicle nature. This was fixed by a Cybertronian device made by Primus by the end of the series however.
So perhaps you meant to list prime at 80 and not Animated. Sorry again about the correction but it is a bit of a major mistake if you have watched Animated.
Truth be told, it was actually Beast Wars that introduced me to the Transformers project. I really liked watching Beast Wars, but even when I watched it as a child, I knew absolutely nothing about the Transformers. I used to think Beast Wars was actually its own animation project, and not a spinoff. But then I saw Transformers The Movie, and hearing the familiar names made me realize: Beast Wars was always a spinoff of Transformers! Today, I have a major appreciation for the Transformers Project. I have seen every single episode of Generation 1 and Beast Wars, And I love both projects. In fact, in my list of my sixteen favorite animated television series, Beast Wars is at #9 and Transformers Generation 1 is at #10. I also like Transformers Animated, but that is mostly because it played on Cartoon Network at the same time as Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (and also because of the G1 names I had come to know and love).
I've loved transformers since I was 1 year old! Was so pleased to see this episode!
You were wrong about the Beast Wars with respect to saving humanity. The characters were sent into the past and saved humanity from being wiped out by the predacons before they could evolve (in one of the most kick-ass battles ever). I would replace that fact with how Megatron has not always been a gun. A frequent alternative alt-mode has been a tank.
#26 is partially incorrect, as female Transformers were introduced in Season 2 BEFORE the movie.
#92 also needs to be corrected, as Transformers: Prime was a FULL series, not just the initial five part miniseries.
If you think about it, all the decepticons optimus killed was to keep the peace on earth.
Fact 80 is incorrect. Bumblebee was able to speak in Transformers Animated. It was Transformers Prime in which Bumblebee shared the similar malfunction of his movie counter part.
"WHOLE limbs disappearing" instantly 3/5 of optimus disappears
I have some facts on transformers too. 1. The voice actor of Optimus primal in beast wars was also the voice of Optimus prime in animated. 2. The voice actor of cliffjumper in g1 is also the voice of shaggy in scooby doo. 3. Swoop was changed to strafe recently (nice job hasbro). 4. Optimus had a girlfriend in g1 named elita one. 5. In transformers animated tom Kenny voiced jetfire/Skyfire.
#50 Optimus Prime's death in the original Marvel Comics series did not occur until AFTER the animated movie had already premiered.
12:36 wait does that mean bumblebee still talks to Sam in tf4 and tf5
ay CH. Lookie here.
just here to say that your last 13 uploads (including this) have all been 107 facts.
I mean, I'm sure people love these videos, but I'm not so much into them. _Not saying they're bad, they're actually very well edited_
but some people like me, are here for the dedicated animations like Bee and Puppycat, Bravest Warriors,
And some even paid money on kickstarter.
*Bravest Warriors*
All I need is a release date to get hyped, because we've heard literally nothing about these series. At least I read on the reddit that you actually ARE working on the series, which is pretty cool on itself, but still not enough to keep me entertained.
We've also missed several deadlines, and no word has gone out (_as far as I know_)
*Bee and Puppycat*
Lol, I remember me and my friends would talk for AGES about Bee and Puppycat.
Now half of them forgot what it is.
I would LOVE if you could reply with details on these amazing series.
Much luv
My uncle has all generation 1 cartoons I watch them like every week
Man I used to love Transformers back in the day. I remember I got this toy for Christmas when I was in 2nd grade (about 12 years ago) where Optimus Prime was the Semi truck we know him as today, which was weird because until then I had only known him as a fire truck. He had a little airplane that came with him that turned into his gun, and I thought it was so awesome. I took it to school once and it got stolen, which was a very sad day for me. :/
I watched a video from Diamond bolt, shout out to u man, Fact 49 is a little bit wrong, since diamond bolt has found 27 deaths for Optimus
