Ruby Rose u r correct. In fact the whole " soundwave superior, constructions inferior" was his attempt to take over the decepticons & go back to retrieve Megatron. I believe this was mentioned by one of the transformers writers.
I was shocked and traumatized as a kid when I saw all my loved characters dying horribly. This scene with the space ship,I will never forget it. That’s why this movie was amazing though , It’s what true war looks like, and yet they’re robots , but with feelings and we used to love and watch them for so long so this scene was purely tragic. 💔
i cry everytime this scene plays, loved ironhide, ratchet, and brawn especially, ironhide was my favorite out of everyone who died but i loved all the characters, RIP
The beginning and the scene, what happens with the survivors inside Unicron was probably the most horrible, brutal and shocking ive saw. I never watched this movie since i was 7 years old.
What I hated about that space ship scene was they all went out like punks! It made no sense. An entire season of a show where they could take some hits, and now all of a sudden one measly blast goes ripping through them. AND the Autobots couldn’t hit a single damn Decepticon even though they were mere feet away. If they wanted to do the deaths that’s one thing, but at least make them go out like heroes! Sorry, childhood trauma kicking back up!😂

My friend's uncle used to work with Hasbro. He helped in the Transformers department and learned how a lot of the characters were meant to die. He even argued that since many aren't seen after the movie, that they should make an episode where the audience learns who died and how. The episode was not created, but they mentioned Huffer's death later. However, they made the reason for the missing people that after the battle, Decepticons were in other systems, so they left to fight them.
All of these deaths were pretty traumatic for a little kid to watch. It wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't die in such horrible ways. Brawn, supposedly the strongest Autobot, was killed by one shot to either the chest or shoulder by Megatron. It's hard to tell. Prowl was killed by two shots to the chest by a Constructicon. It's understandable why Ratchet died- Multiple shots to the chest. Ironhide, one of the oldest Autobots, and one of the greatest of their warriors, gets his head blown off while he was on the ground. These deaths were not deserving for all that they were and all that they had been through. Regardless, it was still a great movie, but a little rushed to get some old characters out of the picture.
+GemBros Vlogs,Easter Eggs,and Tributes according to tfnet wiki, he was originally gonna stay alive for the rest of the movie and series but maybe his toy got short leg, that is why he is dead
He threw out Thundercracker and Skywarp as a way to justify throwing out Megatron. Sacrifice a couple pawns to take out the king. And in the comics they weren't his minions, they were his brothers, shows you how cold he could really be when he wanted to be.
I agree that 'Infinity War' was great, and so was 'Endgame'. For those who don't agree I respect y'alls opinion, but don't speak for everyone when you state your opinion. And that goes for both sides.

This forced a lot of members of my generation to grow up just a little bit faster and even though it's clearly just designed to clear out toy shelves it did teach the important lesson even the greatest heroes can be killed.

Not only disturbed, but insulted that such tough autobots like brawn, ironhide were taken out so easily. They were the toughest autobots in the series. Not to mention skywarp and thundercracker were my favorite decepticons! I'm glad they were in the recent video game war for cybertron it was a good experience!
Also, odd how Dirge/Thrust/Ramjet have deathscenes when they're still alive in the next season. I'd like to think it was just a group of jets that took similar forms.
@@Cantthinkofanames it likely does, since Spike (the human from the first two seasons of the cartoon) is now an adult in this film, and has a son named Daniel, who would be the primary human in the movie. Most of the characters we saw from the show also reappear here as dead. By Season 3, Hot Rod is the Leader and Galvatron the enemy, just like how they were introduced in this film
Usually the answer I come up with for that is just the animators didn't want to come up with new designs for characters that had no speaking roles or new toys
I remember when I was a kid and watched this, I still like this movie better than the new ones, transformers back then had more people on both sides, even though allot of the main ones died, I hope they do a remake at some point (probly not going to.)
Imagine knowing these characters for 2 years, just to see your favorites picked off one by one. Basically equal to modern day infinity war except there ain’t no coming back.
These were gruesome af. The most memorable for me were Prowl’s smoldering eyes, Ironhide grabbing megatron and Prime’s withering corpse. It was really shocking since literally nobody dies in g1 until this point. Yet another proof that money is more important to these child show maker than the children themselves: they will literally give you ptsd if they get to promote their new toys
I get the joke however here is some context for those who don't get it: Transformers initially started as imports of the Japanese Diaclone and Microchange toylines (Microchange being where Megatron and Soundwave came from). The vehicle transformers were from Diaclone where they were originally mechs with pilots. Instead of having a head the Diaclone toys that would become Rachet and Ironhide had a seat behind the windshield where the pilot would sit.
Thank you. I was wondering how some of them died. That explains why those characters weren't in season 3. side note, I also noticed most of the original survivors also didn't get big parts in the last season.
Except a few of them were in Season 3; namely the Coneheads and the Insecticons. Heck, the Insecticons are still alive in THIS movie. And yeah, Starscream and Optimus are also in Season 3... but they're special cases.
For those who didnt know, Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet where those "conehead" looking decepticons that turned into planes. Such as the red one that got hit by Optimus Prime in his vehicle mode in this movie, and another that was at Starscreams coronation (he was the first to spot Galvatrons arrival)
Don't forget sum of the deleted scenes from the movie that shows a lot more died like huffer, blue streak, smoke screen, trail breaker, tracks, red alert, sideswipe, and many more, in season 3 dark awakening you see a long row of suppose to be coffins as Daniel names off a few of the names huffer actually being mentioned but his death isn't really shown.
@@bliksemridder7936 I think I remember hearing a theory a few years ago that Wheeljack created a time machine(or was it a universe travel machine?) and ended up in season 3 for a few episodes before coming back to his timeline and either forgetting everything that happened during his adventure(more or less men in black style) or no one informed him in fear of destroying the timeline
@@CT--wq2ly victory was an alternate universe so this wheeljack.died and let's say the wheeljack.in zone was repaired But wheeljack.in this continuity came back as an action master later
Not a fan of the series myself, so as an outsider it's funny to me how traumatized people were over characters dying when, you know, they were literally waging a war.
The deaths that hit me hardest were the Minibots; they were always my favorites. At least Bee and Cliffjumper survived, though my favorites were Huffer and Brawn :(
Well, he wasn't on the official list of Minibots and we can't really trust the size proportions we saw in the show. Sometimes he was as tall as Bee and sometimes he was taller than Prowl!
@@CrossSwordsGuy Sideswipe was supposed to die according to the script, along with Trailbreaker and maybe a couple others. However, their deaths never made it into the movie.
Sad thing is, the movie story-boarded many more Autobot deaths but never animated them: Mirage, Trailbreaker and Red Alert were supposedly offed in the original version during the Autobot City battle.
I remember hating Hot Rod as a kid because he basically got Optimus killed. Being older now I don't hate him but I still get upset. Seeing Wheeljack dead was hurtful as a kid. He was basically my favourite character. But watching this movie today makes me laugh because somehow Cliffjumper survives the whole thing.
Bro… I watch this video so many time back in the day, it introduced me to this song, and game me nightmares of Prowls death… what nostalgia, I can’t believe it’s still here…
Whoever did this video, did a good job. I remember seeing this vid around maybe 2011-2014 when I was in 1st or 4th grade. Came to revisit, as cool as I remember this vid being, but now kinda sad that Prowl died cuz he is my fav and kinda salty that they killed the autobot whose faces is used as the autobot insignia whereas Soundwave the face of the Decepticon insignia, not only was kept alive but after the movie, killed Blaster, his autobot counterpart, and was brought back after being killed by Blaster.
when i say die, it is ment to mean the death of the caracterr though megatron turns into galvatron. he is no longer megatron, so in the context he is dead, same for the insecticons,skywarp and thundercracker
This is why I didn't really enjoy this movie. The show was very innocent and corny. And for them to change the mood of the series for this finale was honestly heartbreaking. Seeing so many characters that many grew up with both good and bad just get slaughtered was painful. And Optimus's death was the icing on the cake. His death just made me not really get attached to any of the characters. Because I knew so many of them were going to die. The contrast between the movie and the show is obvious and in my opinion, it's not a very good contrast. After seeing something so child-friendly like g1 transformers, watching the movie wasn't a pleasant experience. It's like a war movie. Everything is just so dead that I just can't enjoy it. Call me a wuss, but that's how I feel.
Nox Xelor your not suppose to like it that's why it's so great it leaves you more on edge if another autobot dies it keeps you really invested nobody wanted any of the characters to die espically Optimus and that why this movies has never been forgotten it leaves an impact on you while good or bad it still leaves an impact which makes this a great movie of course the show was corny and light hearted parents were strict and even complained about megatron turning into a gun but this movie has balls it gave megatron a more ruthless nature which fits with him makes him more threatening as he leads the decepticons to victory and anybody who opposes will be killed but I will agree killing Optimus was bullshit I never really liked hot rod that much he was the main reason he died so really bad choice but galvatron wouldn't have been born
For some reason I always liked how they show the life slowly exit through Prowls optics, while he's vomiting smoke. Idk it just shows so much detail although I do feel bad for him and every other autobot who died
Look closely at the secne with Wheeljack and Windcharger Its a split second but you can also see Tracks lying dead next to the cannon. Also Gears was still on the moon base when it was eaten and never reappeared. And late into the battle of autobot city you can see two distant shadows die most likely Trailbreaker and Hoist since they appeared helping Kup earlier. In reality a lot of charecters died here but never got noticed
It's actually quite weird because even though they "killed" so many of these guys, they actually appeared in the following episodes of Transformers. Strictly speaking only the Dinobots, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Jazz survived from season one from the Autobots, and the Constructicons and Soundwave survived from the Decepticons. Optimus Prime and Star Scream came back to life in future episodes. Bumblebee was "damaged" and changed to Goldbug later on (new toy), while Soundwave simply produced "more" cassettes, also as Blaster hadn't long come out they didn't want to ruin his competition. The Dinobots obviously being kept for potential additions to their team or new opponents, as well as being among their best selling toys. Soundwave had a fantastic run, but was eventually superseded by the Cd player and was sold off by Galvatron in a car boot sale.
Starscream were brought back by the reactivated Unicron only to be "killed" again by an enraged Galvatron. Optimus Prime were rebuild by a Quintison during the space plauge.
You can see the seekers and Insecticons at the coronation because in one of the early drafts they all made it to Cybertron intact but damaged, they were going to add Megatron to a hall of heroes (same place the coronation is held) when a battle broke out over leadership, Megatrons 'lifespark' aka his spark core left his decimated body and joined those of other historic Decepticons whose memorials were being trashed in the fight, they were snared by Unicron who recreated them as Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge who had clone armies. If you look closely at the statues they bear a little resemblance to those new Decepticons suggesting they were upgraded like Galvatron.
Sheesh, that's one too many deaths of some (if not all) of the best characters!! With me being born in 84, I missed a lot of the episodes, and just caught the movie months ago. Catching up with the series, I can imagine that hardly anyone liked Rod-Prime, especially after that heart breaking death of Optimus!
It's interesting since in the show basically nobody gets killed and there are lasers and missiles going off everywhere, but suddenly, in the movie, anyone gets killed by a few blaster shots.

When I was like 6 I saw this movie at Blockbusters and rented the movie......5 minutes in and I was already done. I didn't want to watch it anymore after I saw Optimus die
In the original script for the movie nearly all of the Autobots from the season one tv series were supposed to be wiped out by charging into Decepticon fire during the city battle, however they never made the scene. Basically in season 3 all the Transformers episodes were about selling new toys so they were not going to use any of the original season 1 characters anymore where possible, unless they were scene fillers. Like Scourge has his sweeps, Cyclonus was supposed to have mini versions on him which is why is has an "armada" in his regeneration scene, however the idea was abandoned shortly after the movie scene was created.
Well,that makes sense. It also is proof as to why characters that did survive,such as Jazz,we're not given a whole lot of screen time. It also is probably the reason they changed Bumblebee into Goldbug....
The 80s I never lived in them but damn were they a different bloody time, spend 2 years building up a franchise then create a movie and systematically kill off a good 90% of that original cast. Also I found it funny that the constant errors of the 80s show meant that about 5-10% of the killed characters actually returned in the series like nothing happened to them
I remember watching this with my dad a few years ago. He became so angry, he punched a hole in the wall, and almost went after me for laughing when one of the robots got shot. He yelled at my mom when she said "stupid cartoon" or something like that. He then threw the TV against the wall, and went into the bedroom and tried to shoot himself before the police came.
Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge appear to be killed, but they apparently survived. All characters appear in Season 3 including "The Five Faces of Darkness" and "Ghost in the Machine". Also, Shockwave's demise was cut from the final edit of the film. He did indeed perish.
Just imagine you go to see this film the feeders as a kid and you bring your friends and you’re so excited to see the transformers, only for your entire childhood to die right before you, and then you start crying because you say Optimus prime die and then you see more auto parts day and then you question reality
THE_SAILSIEST technically there not dead like bombshell turned into cyclonus and I think skyward turned into scourge everyone except starscream got a new identity and new look starscream still lives but just as a ghost
Fun fact:old character form season 1-2 are sopposed to die now that they are old and they need to replace with new ones when you see optimus and wheel Jack die it’s a pain.and also this movie ruins all your childhood
Now, the thoughts of the deaths in the "Five Nights in the Auto-Con Factory" games that I randomly envisioned for some odd reason Catie Bowman: *dies heroically like Optimus Prime but at the age of 15 years old* Optimus Sun Aria Prime: *dies in a suicide way at the age of 15 years old from overdosing on dark Energon* Peter Cullen: *suffers a deadly injury after returning back to his original body with no Animatronic limbs or anything like that* Optherine Primeman: *dies at the age of 80 years old after getting assassinated by a failure* Megan Nightson Tronic: *randomly gets into a fight with a kid who has a gun and was planning to shoot his bully to death at school but had decided to shoot Megan Nightson Tronic while he was only 25 years old* Starry Lanternfly Screamer: *dies of the injuries from when he was corrupted and got into a fight with Megan Nightson Tronic and lost that fight and got seriously injured and he was 18 years old and so on* Megatron and Me: *die after getting into a crash at the same time as Optimus Prime*

Instead of having a head the Diaclone toys that would become Rachet and Ironhide had a seat behind the windshield where the pilot would sit.
Prowl? No it was ironhide and ratchet who had no heads. Prowl was a popular toy because he had a head.
@@RepostKraken That was Ironhide getting shot by Megatron.
Oh, mistyped
aw man not wheeljack
SAME
They really had to do wheeljack like that and disrespect him with an off screen death, poor guy
They did my boy WheelJack dirty
And prowl
I littterly cried during all the Autobots deathes
Decepticons FOREVER!
Autobots infierior...
+RJLindtGaming soundwave superior
Want
Same, I cried because all of my favorite Autobots died 😢😭
Thank you. I was wondering how some of them died. That explains why those characters weren't in season 3. side note, I also noticed most of the original survivors also didn't get big parts in the last season.
Except a few of them were in Season 3; namely the Coneheads and the Insecticons. Heck, the Insecticons are still alive in THIS movie.
And yeah, Starscream and Optimus are also in Season 3... but they're special cases.
This movie is the boldest approach to make a movie of, specifically, a "KIDS" show that I've ever seen in my entire life... And I absolutely love it.
1:37 DUDE! THAT IS THE SAME MUSIC OF OPTIBOTIMUS VIDEO INTROS!
You noticed that too
For those who didnt know, Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet where those "conehead" looking decepticons that turned into planes. Such as the red one that got hit by Optimus Prime in his vehicle mode in this movie, and another that was at Starscreams coronation (he was the first to spot Galvatrons arrival)
Don't forget sum of the deleted scenes from the movie that shows a lot more died like huffer, blue streak, smoke screen, trail breaker, tracks, red alert, sideswipe, and many more, in season 3 dark awakening you see a long row of suppose to be coffins as Daniel names off a few of the names huffer actually being mentioned but his death isn't really shown.
starscream was never dead it was told that his spark is never destroyed
eh what can i watch a video that 100% confirms it also how is wheeljack alive in season 3
@@bliksemridder7936 I think I remember hearing a theory a few years ago that Wheeljack created a time machine(or was it a universe travel machine?) and ended up in season 3 for a few episodes before coming back to his timeline and either forgetting everything that happened during his adventure(more or less men in black style) or no one informed him in fear of destroying the timeline
Starscream is dead. He just had an mutant immortal spark. His ghost even shows up in an episode of G1, doesn't it?
His body was destroyed thats a death
@@CT--wq2ly victory was an alternate universe so this wheeljack.died and let's say the wheeljack.in zone was repaired
But wheeljack.in this continuity came back as an action master later
Not a fan of the series myself, so as an outsider it's funny to me how traumatized people were over characters dying when, you know, they were literally waging a war.
The deaths that hit me hardest were the Minibots; they were always my favorites. At least Bee and Cliffjumper survived, though my favorites were Huffer and Brawn :(
wouldn't jazz count as a minibot? he's the same size as bee and cliffjumper
Well, he wasn't on the official list of Minibots and we can't really trust the size proportions we saw in the show. Sometimes he was as tall as Bee and sometimes he was taller than Prowl!
+A. “Doctor” Edwards yeah but when was scaling ever accurate in g1?
How did huffer die
@@LS-jk3fk Its never said but he is mentioned among the dead Autobots in the Episode "Dark Awakening"
Man my favorites were sideswipe, wheeljack, and Optimus prime
Dude same when I saw optimus die I littery cried for the rest of the movie...
@@CrossSwordsGuy Sideswipe was supposed to die according to the script, along with Trailbreaker and maybe a couple others. However, their deaths never made it into the movie.
It's been years since I first saw this and it's still...EPIC!!!
Sad thing is, the movie story-boarded many more Autobot deaths but never animated them: Mirage, Trailbreaker and Red Alert were supposedly offed in the original version during the Autobot City battle.
Ironhide's death is very brutal. All hail Megatron
He doesn't deserve it
Shockwave no noth prowl and ironhides death was brutal
Nathan Sanderson he did deserve it we'll not really I'm just kidding
Shockwave you died in this movie and dotm so *HA*
creature from the dank lagoon luis and who was talking to you?
How die Wheeljack die 😢😢*sniff sniff* 😭😭😭😭😭
looking at his corpse a shot to the chest
+Haohmaru Of The Wind
Do you have confirmation we only saw the corpses
You could be right, we never saw who killed them
Somebody blasted wheeljacks ass along with windchargers
@@chrisedwards3214 maybe barricade?
I remember hating Hot Rod as a kid because he basically got Optimus killed. Being older now I don't hate him but I still get upset.
Seeing Wheeljack dead was hurtful as a kid. He was basically my favourite character.
But watching this movie today makes me laugh because somehow Cliffjumper survives the whole thing.
Bro imagine being in the theater as a kid and seeing 2 years of emotions and bonds eradicated in under 2 hours
That would be horrifying
I cried when prowl died and cried harder when optimus died when this movie came out :'C
When I saw this movie back then,it was sad to see half of them died. Even Starscrean. But most of all Optimus Prime I did shed a tear when he died.
Bro… I watch this video so many time back in the day, it introduced me to this song, and game me nightmares of Prowls death… what nostalgia, I can’t believe it’s still here…
In the Transformers 1985 comic Shockwaves body was blasted in half when he was caught in Unicron's eye lasers.
1:33 noo! wheel..
Seeing these beloved characters dying left and right especially seeing wheeljack's dead body made me almost cry
Whoever did this video, did a good job. I remember seeing this vid around maybe 2011-2014 when I was in 1st or 4th grade. Came to revisit, as cool as I remember this vid being, but now kinda sad that Prowl died cuz he is my fav and kinda salty that they killed the autobot whose faces is used as the autobot insignia whereas Soundwave the face of the Decepticon insignia, not only was kept alive but after the movie, killed Blaster, his autobot counterpart, and was brought back after being killed by Blaster.
when someone ask me "who died in tf g1 series" i reply "you mean who haven't died?"
when i say die, it is ment to mean the death of the caracterr though megatron turns into galvatron. he is no longer megatron, so in the context he is dead, same for the insecticons,skywarp and thundercracker
This is why I didn't really enjoy this movie. The show was very innocent and corny. And for them to change the mood of the series for this finale was honestly heartbreaking. Seeing so many characters that many grew up with both good and bad just get slaughtered was painful. And Optimus's death was the icing on the cake. His death just made me not really get attached to any of the characters. Because I knew so many of them were going to die. The contrast between the movie and the show is obvious and in my opinion, it's not a very good contrast. After seeing something so child-friendly like g1 transformers, watching the movie wasn't a pleasant experience. It's like a war movie. Everything is just so dead that I just can't enjoy it.
Call me a wuss, but that's how I feel.
Nox Xelor your not suppose to like it that's why it's so great it leaves you more on edge if another autobot dies it keeps you really invested nobody wanted any of the characters to die espically Optimus and that why this movies has never been forgotten it leaves an impact on you while good or bad it still leaves an impact which makes this a great movie of course the show was corny and light hearted parents were strict and even complained about megatron turning into a gun but this movie has balls it gave megatron a more ruthless nature which fits with him makes him more threatening as he leads the decepticons to victory and anybody who opposes will be killed but I will agree killing Optimus was bullshit I never really liked hot rod that much he was the main reason he died so really bad choice but galvatron wouldn't have been born
THATS WHAT MADE THE MOVIE THE BEST
I feel for you😞
It was a war movie. Transformers is about a war.
"I hate how the Bayformers kills off Fan Favorites!"
*LITERALLY G1:*
For some reason I always liked how they show the life slowly exit through Prowls optics, while he's vomiting smoke. Idk it just shows so much detail although I do feel bad for him and every other autobot who died
Remember if they don't turn gray they.not dead
Look closely at the secne with Wheeljack and Windcharger Its a split second but you can also see Tracks lying dead next to the cannon. Also Gears was still on the moon base when it was eaten and never reappeared. And late into the battle of autobot city you can see two distant shadows die most likely Trailbreaker and Hoist since they appeared helping Kup earlier. In reality a lot of charecters died here but never got noticed
It's actually quite weird because even though they "killed" so many of these guys, they actually appeared in the following episodes of Transformers.
Strictly speaking only the Dinobots, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Jazz survived from season one from the Autobots, and the Constructicons and Soundwave survived from the Decepticons. Optimus Prime and Star Scream came back to life in future episodes.
Bumblebee was "damaged" and changed to Goldbug later on (new toy), while Soundwave simply produced "more" cassettes, also as Blaster hadn't long come out they didn't want to ruin his competition. The Dinobots obviously being kept for potential additions to their team or new opponents, as well as being among their best selling toys.
Soundwave had a fantastic run, but was eventually superseded by the Cd player and was sold off by Galvatron in a car boot sale.
+alyndavies The thing is, post-movie G1 Galvatron would actually do that. Because he's completely off his rocker.
+alyndavies pretty sure i saw the cones heads back
Starscream were brought back by the reactivated Unicron only to be "killed" again by an enraged Galvatron.
Optimus Prime were rebuild by a Quintison during the space plauge.
Massive Demon Well... He was never heard from again, so...
Yea... Deactivated\dead.... Allmost the same thing
You forgot sideswipe, he was in "The rebirth" part 2 or 3 with rodimus on Nebulos he was also in the HM cartoon
Bro, this song is a vibe
You can see the seekers and Insecticons at the coronation because in one of the early drafts they all made it to Cybertron intact but damaged, they were going to add Megatron to a hall of heroes (same place the coronation is held) when a battle broke out over leadership, Megatrons 'lifespark' aka his spark core left his decimated body and joined those of other historic Decepticons whose memorials were being trashed in the fight, they were snared by Unicron who recreated them as Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge who had clone armies. If you look closely at the statues they bear a little resemblance to those new Decepticons suggesting they were upgraded like Galvatron.
i love the way you made this video.
and shockwaves did di.
Jacob Lovering Same
It was like an awesome montage
*EVERYONE DIED EXCEPT CLIFFJUMPER? **_WEIRD_*
Sheesh, that's one too many deaths of some (if not all) of the best characters!! With me being born in 84, I missed a lot of the episodes, and just caught the movie months ago. Catching up with the series, I can imagine that hardly anyone liked Rod-Prime, especially after that heart breaking death of Optimus!
I love how the crown bounces with sync to the song
And people complain about the Bay movies killing off so many characters 😂
1:45 R I P optimus prime let us all pay are respects to him 😔 he was a great leader...
It's interesting since in the show basically nobody gets killed and there are lasers and missiles going off everywhere, but suddenly, in the movie, anyone gets killed by a few blaster shots.
The music fits so Well in this Vid
Whoever did this video, did a good job. I remember seeing this vid around maybe 2011-2014 when I was in 1st or 4th grade. Came to revisit, as cool as I remember this vid being, but now kinda sad that Prowl died cuz he is my fav and kinda salty that they killed the autobot whose faces is used as the autobot insignia whereas Soundwave the face of the Decepticon insignia, not only was kept alive but after the movie, killed Blaster, his autobot counterpart, and was brought back after being killed by Blaster.
When I was like 6 I saw this movie at Blockbusters and rented the movie......5 minutes in and I was already done. I didn't want to watch it anymore after I saw Optimus die
In the original script for the movie nearly all of the Autobots from the season one tv series were supposed to be wiped out by charging into Decepticon fire during the city battle, however they never made the scene.
Basically in season 3 all the Transformers episodes were about selling new toys so they were not going to use any of the original season 1 characters anymore where possible, unless they were scene fillers.
Like Scourge has his sweeps, Cyclonus was supposed to have mini versions on him which is why is has an "armada" in his regeneration scene, however the idea was abandoned shortly after the movie scene was created.
Well,that makes sense. It also is proof as to why characters that did survive,such as Jazz,we're not given a whole lot of screen time. It also is probably the reason they changed Bumblebee into Goldbug....
Some of them were Trailbreaker, Beachcomber and Red Alert
Truly we need an extended version, showing all the battles, including shockwave and Huffer.
That or retcon, bringing some bots back from the grave.
Nice touch with the wfc credits song.
The 80s I never lived in them but damn were they a different bloody time, spend 2 years building up a franchise then create a movie and systematically kill off a good 90% of that original cast.
Also I found it funny that the constant errors of the 80s show meant that about 5-10% of the killed characters actually returned in the series like nothing happened to them
I remember watching this with my dad a few years ago. He became so angry, he punched a hole in the wall, and almost went after me for laughing when one of the robots got shot. He yelled at my mom when she said "stupid cartoon" or something like that. He then threw the TV against the wall, and went into the bedroom and tried to shoot himself before the police came.
Game of Thrones- We're gonna kill off dozens of characters including some of your favourites
Transformers movie- Hold my energon cubes
For those wondering, the song is "Til All Are One" by Stan Bush
Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge appear to be killed, but they apparently survived. All characters appear in Season 3 including "The Five Faces of Darkness" and "Ghost in the Machine". Also, Shockwave's demise was cut from the final edit of the film. He did indeed perish.
wwhat? shockwave dead???
I FIND THIS......ILLOGICAL
Yeah , he was crushed along with the cybertron decepticons Base by unicron
I like how they count him as dead but in the 3rd season he is clearly fighting
@@colbykuefler8556 No, that was probably only an animation error.
@Meher Chaithanya Probably only an animation error.
I have never heard this song before, it's pretty good
Just imagine you go to see this film the feeders as a kid and you bring your friends and you’re so excited to see the transformers, only for your entire childhood to die right before you, and then you start crying because you say Optimus prime die and then you see more auto parts day and then you question reality
my favorite deceptos are all gone starscream and shockwave is taking it to far then skywarp tho like fuck wrong wit tf
then unicorn ate my niggas for desert for he died starscream is my fav he did diserve it but uniCORN had to go byebye
THE_SAILSIEST technically there not dead like bombshell turned into cyclonus and I think skyward turned into scourge everyone except starscream got a new identity and new look starscream still lives but just as a ghost
Mr Mister for me skywarp is cyclonus and ik about starscream
THE_SALSYKID soundwave
Didn't make sense for Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet, and the Insecticons to die, since they were still being sold in stores after the movie.
that's why they was in season three
Fun fact:old character form season 1-2 are sopposed to die now that they are old and they need to replace with new ones when you see optimus and wheel Jack die it’s a pain.and also this movie ruins all your childhood
never knew about that one. thanks for the info
Now, the thoughts of the deaths in the "Five Nights in the Auto-Con Factory" games that I randomly envisioned for some odd reason
Catie Bowman: *dies heroically like Optimus Prime but at the age of 15 years old*
Optimus Sun Aria Prime: *dies in a suicide way at the age of 15 years old from overdosing on dark Energon*
Peter Cullen: *suffers a deadly injury after returning back to his original body with no Animatronic limbs or anything like that*
Optherine Primeman: *dies at the age of 80 years old after getting assassinated by a failure*
Megan Nightson Tronic: *randomly gets into a fight with a kid who has a gun and was planning to shoot his bully to death at school but had decided to shoot Megan Nightson Tronic while he was only 25 years old*
Starry Lanternfly Screamer: *dies of the injuries from when he was corrupted and got into a fight with Megan Nightson Tronic and lost that fight and got seriously injured and he was 18 years old and so on*
Megatron and Me: *die after getting into a crash at the same time as Optimus Prime*
👍
@@user-yu2di8kh6r ok
I love how almost everyone died besides sound wave
