I think Optimus Prime got more aggressive and violent after he was revived by the Matrix of Leadership in Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen. He seemed to have lost his iconic moral values. He was a little aggressive in Transformers 2007 during the fight with Bonecrusher because he had no other option but to stop him from harming humans. The same thing also happened during the forest fight in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen with Megatron, Starscream and Grindor because he was trying to protect Sam Witwicky. Keep up your Great Work.
I would be pissed too honestly if I were him. He was willing to sacrifice his own life to save the humans and after that they all betrayed him. Mikayla was the only character that was really written to even like them or be interesting at all and she left. Sam was over it by the second movie until he had to get involved for his own good. The US government he was working with and the world in general sold him out several times. The military team/NEST team from 1 and 2 also get a mention for being nice to him and interesting but they're written out after 2 as well.
Perhaps one of the few transformers fans who discusses Bayformers positively. Also i have a feeling the blue eyes on some decepticons is so the artists can see them since depending on the scene and the colors of the characters, you may not quite see the eyes
I was already into it during armada energon and cybertron but the cartoons and toys were rough as far as following the constant changes in art style and story. The movies and especially the first one really set an iconic style that they could expand instead of redoing everything every few years. I still liked animated and prime but the toys also felt flimsier due to their skinny designs they used a lot of ball joins and not great ones at that. The movie toys used a lot more ratchets and rotators for joints and usually locked into alt mode better as well.
51:14 that's because in the novel, wheeljack gets separated from the other autobots when the driller first attacked, and later got killed by a bunch of protoforms
52:58 a friend of mine theorized that the director for need for speed was the one who bought the last orange bugatti, since there was a black and orange Bugatti seen in need for speed, causing bay to get a black and blue one instead
11:47 In the animatic where it shows bumblebee saving Sam and Michaela from falling that car bumblebee looks like a old 79 trans am from the back tail lights with a 75 trans am front end on bumblebees shoulder but the 74-77 Camaro had a similar front end . 18:45 and at this time mark he has the 77 trans am front end . So maybe at one point he was gonna be a trans am firebird or his concept models was a mix between the Camaro and trans am
That scrapped Ratchet design at 12:00 is so cool. Could've been like an Inferno or something. And it's cool too on how some of these animatics were reworked into different scenes, so it's like they were never lost. However, it does suck that the animatics for the later movies aren't archived in these features for our viewing pleasure. It would've been so cool to see stuff like Lockdown's original model, Galvatron with a Nemesis Prime head, and TLK Megatron's dragon mode.
@@nachonaitor5535 That seems a bit impractical as Bay considers them as something like storyboards to keep track of what the Transformers are doing on screen. So it'd be weird if most of the action didn't have rough animatics to accompany them even if aoe and tlk aren't regarded as the best. Cuz those movies still got a ton of robot action.
Amazing work dude! The animatics are so cool, even unfinished they look so good and it really helps to show just how ahead of its time the vfx of the transformers movies were
A Decepticon that i've always loved and is my favorite in the TF2 game is Sideways, just because how he looks and plays, so obviously knowing that atleast at some point in the movie animatics he was going to have some more badass scenes is kinda nice to know.
*_HOT DANG!_* That deleted Soundwave death! Bee’s a frickin’ savage there! Also, it’s a *_CARDINAL SIN_* that the choreography at 28:24 - 28:37 was cut, as well as a powerful kick Megatron uses afterward to send Prime flying. Btw, will you be doing any “What If I Survived” videos anymore? I’d really like to see your alternate scenarios for Soundwave, Sideswipe, Nitro Zeus, Sentinel Prime, Que, Jolt, Blackout, Stinger and the Arcee sisters.
17:30 interesting to see in that concept art that megatron looks or resembles more of a prime type figure compared to the others where he looks more alienated 20:49 is that stinger⁉️⁉️ 26:32 could have been an update on bumblebees mask change or a reimagining of what it would look like with his fight between rampage. Another possible theory is that there could have been a cut fight in between the forest fight where barricade delays or prevents bumblebee from getting back to Sam and Optimus
The disappointment in your voice when you only found 5 animatics throughout 3 hours of dotm special features just shows how dedicated you are to this. It’s amazing the things you pump out for us
26:16 Judging from animatic I feel like this was an early concept involving Barricade as a placeholder then turned into the Bumblebee VS Rampage fight in Egypt (especially that mask shot and the kick to the side of Barricade's chest, it really reminds me of the shots in the movie)
Your best video by far! Great video dude, I like your more in-depth videos that explore the behind-the-scenes of these movies. Can’t wait for all the Rise of the Beasts content soon
“It would have made Shockwave more of a force to be reckoned with, which they fumbled at pretty hard” he’s not lying, bro got killed by a parachute lol
@theorymus at 4:05 What if Frenzy was like Jetfire and switched from the Autobot's side to the Decepticons? I have a head cannon that Barricade used to be Prowl and Frenzy having blue eyes could support that since I believe he's his mini-con. I know Prowl appears in the comics but it would be interesting either way. It could also explain why Bumblebee spared Barricade's life in the movie since they may have a history. Besides that, love your channel btw.
Barricade and prowl are two different character. And frenzy is not barricade's minicon. He is another one of soundwave's minicons just like ravage,laserbeak and many others
@@teamstarbreaker9929 I know that. I was just combining the two characters for an idea I had. As for Frenzy, you have to admit, switching sides would explain the blue eyes. Jetfire kept his red eyes after he joined the Autobots.
This is why the cinematography in transformers is so good, conceptualising every view point, like sketching to figure out building elements in architecture
9:36 in the preqyel comics he was a soldier of megatron but he choose to help the autobots..... So jetfire isnt the only one who betrayed the decepticons
The original colour scheme of Demolishor was changed in order to avoid confusion from having a near identical bot to one of the constructicons who form Devastator dying at the beginning of the film.
@@Theorymus That red bee is just Evil Bumblebee from the 07 game. A lot of people speculate that he was a cut character from the film and that he's a clone of bee but in reality, he's just a placeholder for the other characters and drones. Michael Bay didn't let the designers have a look at any of the character designs in case they got leaked so they just recolored Bumblebee red and called him Evil Bumblebee. That's the game version though, I wouldn't be surprised if the same situation happened with that specific animatic, either that or Bumblebee was the only one completed at the time.
Just Admit it Theorymus that you are working with Michael bay in the Past 😂 Anyways Thankyou for this amazing video I cant imagine your time and effort doing this ! I cant wait to see more !!
You're right. I think theorymus and Michael bay are in this together. Maybe Michael bay told theorymus to create a UA-cam channel based on his tf movies.😂😂
From what I remember, in the DOTM novel, which was based on an early version of the script, Wheeljack/Que died earlier than Mirage/Dino, so that explains why he wasn't present when they were captured. The Autobots were driving through Chicago, being chased by the Driller. Wheeljack/Que was knocked into the river as they crossed the bridge, and there were Decepticons lying in wait beneath the surface, and they ripped him to pieces. Gotta say, I'm glad they didn't go with that, because that sounds really cheap and quick for the death of an Autobot. Even if you don't care for him, his execution scene in the final film really makes you feel for him on some level. Granted, I never saw him as Wheeljack, but Que. An old bot inventor, not much of a fighter, so of course he doesn't stand a chance. Kinda wish we saw him do SOMETHING with all those things on his back, I think isn't one of them a staff or a sniper rifle?
Tbh I prefer how the animatics portray the actions scenes more than how they turn out in the movies. Shockwave's eye zooming onto that helpless soldier is way more creative than Shockwave just looking up at nothing lol.
I love these animations they do before finalizing because you can imagine how better it would be if they followed exactly as it is there some ideas are bad but others are not
It's still funny to me that Starscream was crying his eyes out (literally) when Sam popped it out, but when Megatron pulled his entire arm off to smack him with it, he just shrugged it off like it was nothing.
29:43 actually it does make sense he couldn't hear Megatron behind him because he was too full of rage and concerns for sam as if he had like that call of duty sound grenade
27:10 Mikaela was originally going to wear her T1 outfit as well (Denim Skirt compared to Denim Shorts/jeans). 28:11 both of Sam and Mikaela's clothes were going to be different, still wearing the denim skirt too. Skirt remains up until Jetfires deleted scene at 30:23. 29:26 should've pointed out how Grindor was capable of doing hand-to-hand combat here, something he lacks in the other animatics and final film. 35:06: Soldiers look more like officers/privates. Also they're using M-16 rifles here. This was probably placeholder models as they're seen in other animatics. 39:50: Should've mentioned Sideways nearly killed the Arcee Twins and had a gun. 41:12: Sterscream had blue eyes 42:29: Seems the helicopter was EMP'd then the fallen used his telekinesis to throw the helicopter away 44:29 - we gonna talk about his scrapped right arm cannon? No...ok. There's more but I think we got the point.
I have massive respect for your commitment and video quality. I found the channel when you were trans theories and I have to say, I love having the webcam on your videos.
Dude this is an amazing video with amazing information and forgotten media. Ma man your truly great at what you do! What a great video, absolutely fantastic brotha❗️
I think that the Decepticons had blue eyes early in production because they thought it was unnecessary. I mean, the Decepticons already have very inhuman designs when compared to the Autobots.
Speaking of Animatics, are you going to cover the Transformers: Cyber Missions show for the Bayverse continuity that came out after Revenge of the Fallen?
I think we can see Megatron and Optimus ending where the original DOTM was deleted, the confrontation between Shockwave vs Optimus, and a truce agreement like the novel.
Regarding Que's absense during the Only Trophies scene, in the novelization of DOTM which we know is based on an early version of the movie, there was an scene where Que would've fallen to a river and been ripped apart by Decepticons there, so its possible that when they did the Mirage death animatic they still had that original death for Que in mind.
Ngl I dig IROC Camaro Bumblebee Edit: as much as I love crosshairs’ final design, I much prefer the vehicle mode of the concept since it makes complete sense as to why he has a cape. Basically; he’s a drag-spec c6 corvette with parachutes to help slow him down, in the concept, the cape is black and has key features especially on the shoulders alluding to the shape of the parachutes. I remember him having those parachutes in the final design but they’re only used regularly and not as a cape. Tbh it would’ve been ideal for crosshairs to have the c6 corvette alt mode with the final design robot mode having a few tweaks, namely; the cape being at least one parachute while the other is used for “that” amazing scene.
I’d like to think that one day sideswipe or someone else called up BB and said “hey dude come hang with the boys” And BB said “sorry bro gotta take care of my pe- I mean my friend”
edit: it's sunstreaker those weird really early bumblebee designs with the side flaps on the head look a lot like an autobot that if i remember correctly was used as a substitute for bee at some point, but i can't remember his name. He even got a new figure not so long ago
I really hope the unreleased animatcs are shown to us one day

If I take a shot everytime he says "that's because his design was based off his early concept art" I'd be dead
Speaking of Animatics, are you going to cover the Transformers: Cyber Missions show for the Bayverse continuity that came out after Revenge of the Fallen?
Man these bring back memories, i loved watching these and are a big inspiration for me getting into animation.
That's awesome to hear man! I only just uncovered them around a year ago, and I wish more will be found as time goes on
@@Theorymus Yeah i was obsessed with the behind the scenes stuff growing up. Yes, let's hope we see more of them in the future, maybe for ROTB?
Goes to show how hard they really did work on the tf films CGI
I think we can see Megatron and Optimus ending where the original DOTM was deleted, the confrontation between Shockwave vs Optimus, and a truce agreement like the novel.
Regarding Que's absense during the Only Trophies scene, in the novelization of DOTM which we know is based on an early version of the movie, there was an scene where Que would've fallen to a river and been ripped apart by Decepticons there, so its possible that when they did the Mirage death animatic they still had that original death for Que in mind.
1:08 CGI render of yellow robot kinda looks like Sunstreaker
Appreciate all the work you put into this vid brother. Keep up the great work 🎉
Thanks for the video bro I really enjoyed it !
When do you think the Loader will be released? It is one of the oldest videos we have been waiting for.
Thats a great question
W video big fan btw, also video idea: lockdowns ship size inconsistencies
Ngl I dig IROC Camaro Bumblebee
Edit: as much as I love crosshairs’ final design, I much prefer the vehicle mode of the concept since it makes complete sense as to why he has a cape. Basically; he’s a drag-spec c6 corvette with parachutes to help slow him down, in the concept, the cape is black and has key features especially on the shoulders alluding to the shape of the parachutes. I remember him having those parachutes in the final design but they’re only used regularly and not as a cape. Tbh it would’ve been ideal for crosshairs to have the c6 corvette alt mode with the final design robot mode having a few tweaks, namely; the cape being at least one parachute while the other is used for “that” amazing scene.
I’d like to think that one day sideswipe or someone else called up BB and said “hey dude come hang with the boys”
And BB said “sorry bro gotta take care of my pe- I mean my friend”
Theorymus never misses
edit: it's sunstreaker
those weird really early bumblebee designs with the side flaps on the head look a lot like an autobot that if i remember correctly was used as a substitute for bee at some point, but i can't remember his name. He even got a new figure not so long ago
Take a shot every time he says the design was based on early concept art
I like how that one guy saw Optimus pulling grindors face apart and is not fazed 29:01
