People are saying transformers fans hate comedy. We don’t we just want the stories to take themselves seriously. G1 Beast Wars Animated and Prime are all hilarious and people love them because they have clever writing that knows when to balance out serious moments and doesn’t just use millennial mcu humor
@@bullshitproductions2539 I just said it they take themselves seriously and balance their funny moments with more serious ones and don’t just rely on marvel humor
Not interested in the Marvel humor they're going for. Transformers, to me, has always been semi serious with some humor sprinkled through. Not Thor: Love and Thunder.
Transformers One is a kids' movie. Cool. Nothing wrong with that. But a kids' movie doesn't have to be 100% goofy comedy. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Transformers: The Movie (1986). You know why I loved that movie so much as a kid? Not because of the comedy (although that aspect was fine). I loved it because it told a compelling story of a group of heroes overcoming adversity to save Cybertron from the evil Unicron. That's the kind of movie Transformers One needs to be. Instead, it looks like they're making the same missteps that were made for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
That is the thing. It isn't going to be. The director is already said that this trailer only showcases the comedy to show that it's about them being friends in the beginning. However, the movie will begin to show the divergent paths that both Optimus and Megatron take that will lead up to the war. I think it's going to be very poignant because we will finally see a side of Optimus and Megatron that we've never seen before on film and that is their friendship.
Huh ooohhh so you want a movie of the transformers overcoming adversity to stop an evil threat coming to their planet. what about a movie where the transformers are overcoming adversity to stop an evil threat coming to their planet. Aka that's literally the fucking movie dude. They are literally slaves trying to leave to for the surface to get alt modes so they can be equals(overcoming adversity some would say) while being hunted only for a evil threat to come to the planet and they now have to fight for the planet that was oppressing them. But this movie has comedy how dare they imo I think it's great really shows how close they are and in the end of the movie. When Megatron goes ok we won but am not letting the oppressive government retake Thier power am taking over! And bumblebee tries to say something to defuse the situation and Megatron RIPS OUT HIS VOICE BOX like he does in other shows setting up conflict for a sequel I think it will all be worth it. Like movie IST out yet but everybody is already on it's ass it could be amazing.
@@ardendragoon I get you view am same but this is written by different people and just watching the trailer you can see the love in the references they make it's clearly a fan that knows their shit from G1,IDW, Beast machines and prime references this has so much potential it's different but they wanna show the brotherly bond Prime always says he has with Megatron in every show before the war
Personally as a hardcore Transformer's fan I'm mixed. The concept on paper sounds like it be an awesome idea. A movie focused on the time Optimus and Megatron were friends before the great war sounds dope but the tone of the movie is just personally throwing me off. Transformers isn't a franchise that needs MCU style humor even with more heart lighted series like Animated it still had serious moments without needing to crack a joke to break the tension. Hopefully it's just the trailer movies have been done dirty by trailers in the past so hopefully that's the case here hopefully.
Honestly, having seen the trailer? I actually do feel like the trailer is doing the movie dirty--there's hints in there that there is, in fact, a serious plot somewhere in the movie and they're not just going on this random roadtrip for teh lulz and friendship. It's just that it's hard to tell if what happened is that the people in charge of marketing this movie are absolutely confused or if the more serious plot didn't hold together well enough so they're hoping to distract you with jokes from that for long enough to get you to buy a ticket. (I mean, it might be that they're wanting to keep the more serious plot so it'll be a surprise when people first see the movie, but the trailer should have at least done more to tell the audience to not go in expecting "A road trip movie but with Transformers.")
@@ryohoshi8445if you read the most recent interview with the director, he clearly says that the first trailer has mostly a focus on on the buddy part. However, the movie is not just laughs. It starts to show the different paths that both Optimus and Megatron take in the third half of the movie which will lead up to the war. I mean let's not forget that there's a great shot of Megatron stamping the Decepticon logo on himself and looking completely badass and just like his G1 counterpart.
@@AAX1975 That definitely sounds like the marketing department isn't doing its job well, then, since while that works as a trailer concept for the implied movie...it very much needs to be either not the first trailer or VERY closely followed by the next trailer. People don't go reading interviews with directors if they aren't seriously interested, and the trailer is the make-or-break here.
@@ryohoshi8445 beyond the bitterness on this channel and the hate-filled Twitter feeds, the trailer has been well received. There are plenty of reaction videos with thousands of comments testifying to it. People are just so spiteful and negative now. And videos like this just contribute to that miasma.
Exactly but that's not for you those toys are like for 8 year olds save up and grab a studio series toy for 24 quid They intentionally not showing the good shit to talk about the stuff aimed for baby's lol
They exist but in the eastern sphere. And have for decades. Years before transformers they had a multifaceted narrative about war in the Gundam series and stuff like char Aznabel using an rpg to kill a group of people starting with a woman's face. Heck 10 years before transformers you had mazinger z with a kid using a mech to slice open a kaiju and punch its insides, and it's blood was red. Both kids shows from the 70s, and that's not even scratching the surface
People in the west are way more overprotective over what young people see, hear and does nowadays than they used to be in the past. People think about them as wimps and idiots that cant understand or handle anything these days and the smallest thing could harm them for the rest of their lives.
Transformers Armada's version of Starscream with what he went through and becoming a hero that sacrifices himself is something I still remember to this day. "I tried to gain favor from you, but nothing was ever good enough. No matter how many battles I fought you've always found fault. Then I saw how Optomus treated his men and I saw he was a leader of integrity. Unlike you..." and he could have actually taken down Megatron in their duel and taken control of the Deceptions, but he genuinely just wanted some respect so he instead planned to lose all along just to show Megatron how evenly matched they were and in doing so in a final gambit firing at Unicron to show the overwhelming difference in power that the Autotbots and Deceptions have to join forces in order to survive.
Well, if these comments are anything to go by, people are giving s*** hot takes off of one trailer without even seeing the rest of the movie. The directors already said that the first trailer has more of a focus on the comedy bits because they want people to see that it's going to be a fun movie. However, it doesn't show the serious parts and he says that it does end up becoming a part of the core end of the movie as Optimus and Megatron ends up taking different choices.
@@AAX1975 You CAN criticize a trailer, you CAN sorta guess the overall quality from trailers. I see you whining on multiple comments here. Opinions are opinions, there’s literally no point in complaining about it because they won’t stop. Let them think what they think.
Anyone who tries to excuse lesser work as "for kids" really just expose how they view kids, and how little respect they have for the future generations. There are many things that were made "for kids" in the past that are genuinely timeless. It is merely an excuse to do worse, and nothing more.
Sigh....Just like with tons of modern kids shows: modern Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, Ben 10, Powerpuffgirls, Thundercats Roar, Teen Titans Go 😔. All the earlier iterations of these shows were so much better and gave top wuality content despite "being for kids". Not anymore, they've all fallen from grace. And it seems Transformers is next.
@@ACW-dn9wb honestly the only way they could ever compete is by default. That's if the western comics and western animation doesn't fold before the japanese go extinct
@@TexasHollowEarth Beast Machines wandered off into dark paths and lost the plot of Transformers. It might have been interesting to see what came next, but they killed that with its ending.
I've been half-listening/half reading the comments when I came to this one. It deepened the sadness the trailer brought me when it sank in that this is a movie. To think, they want a family to pay upwards of $70 (snacks,etc) to see something like this.
Simple - TF fans wanted a film based around the first act of the Bumblebee movie. You can certainly have humour but it was just MCU style throughout and just didn't stop. I can see why Peter Cullen and Frank Welker were not used, their voice casting would have looked out of place with whatever they were going for here.
A few things I know of but I'd rather not say because then more people are going to jump on them then the prices will go up. Other than the crazy puffs at lil ceasars
Personally as a Transformers fan I’m very mixed on it, on the one hand I don’t mind this buddy cop adventure with Orion & Megatron because if done right it would make it even more tragic when they become enemies like X-Men First Class and if the test screenings are anything to go by you can at least tell the people behind this movie actually care about the property (unlike Micheal Bay), but yeah the very MCU style humor and celebrity voice acting really threw me off, I’m still gonna give it the benefit of the doubt but I can see why so many are skeptical about this movie.
If I had a nickel for every time a production involving Chris Hemsworth got flanderized,I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't much but it's strange it happened twice
@@Zan_JaynaFeminist here. I cannot stress this enough; I am a little concerned that the cast Chris Hemsworth. I don’t think he has the acting talent to do voice over work. If I’m wrong then I’ll admit that but to me… this is way out of his league. And I really wish they would stop using movie actors for voice over work UNLESS they can pull it off. I thought Hugo Weaving did a great job as Megatron.
Hasbro, with a mischievous glint in its corporate eye, served up precisely what fans asked for... or so it seemed. What we got was akin to opening a beautifully wrapped present, only to find a whoopee cushion inside, ready to burst with the slightest pressure. Behold, a Transformers movie that could have been a majestic journey through the bowels of Cybertronian civilization but instead, morphed into a crony joke-filled, unserious abomination. It's as if the essence of every quip, gag, and one-liner from the MCU was distilled into its purest form, injected directly into the heart of Transformers, and left to marinate. Hasbro, in their generosity, believed they were gifting fans the ultimate experience. "You wanted Transformers without humans?" they said, a sly smile creeping across their faces. "Here it is, but with a twist! It's the Transformers as you've never seen them before: less like mighty warriors in a cosmic saga and more like characters in a prime-time sitcom." Thanks a lot, Hasbro.
Remember when the Illumination Mario Movie was announced and people were speculating on the trailer being the most cliche thing imaginable with tropes and pop songs playing? That’s literally what happened with this TFO trailer imo
Let's be fair here. It had less to do with the trailer and had far more to do with a primal fear of seeing another video game adapted movie failing us miserably again.
I mean I'm going to be honest the trailer doesn't look that bad. Their are difference that I don't like, but not too bad. The humor what throws me off of how unfunny it is as their trying so hard to be funny.
I'm cautious interested and to be honest to me this looks more fun to watch then rise and I don't think that film was bad by any means but It could've been better had the makers not messed with some of the Bumblebee designs and stopped with the Glum Optimus Prime portrayals it was better than AOE but Prime literally is supposed to be the beacon of Hope and on who holds on to the faith that one day the war will end and enemies who were once brothers could be that once more.
The humor is more like they are more concerned about the powers they have than the situation around them. I still think it is better than having a sarcastic viewpoint. However, I do agree the humor doesnt hit the mark.
I don't understand the obsession with making all movies high on comedy. If this movie has a more serious tone then I may watch it, but right now with this trailer it's a hardcore no. Which is sad because I love Transformers.
They believe that the MCU was built upon comedy and want another MCU to carry Hollywood forward into the next decade as the MCU has now crashed and burned
This looks like every awful generic Hollywood animated script, but they decided to just claim two of the characters are Optimus and Megatron. This is just Elemental of whatever but with a brand slapped on it.
Depends on the versions, but those are commonly accepted origins. G1 Orion Pax was simply a factory worker on Cybertron until he and Elita One where caught up in an early attack by Megatron and his new Decepticon faction.
To be honest while I do get what they were going for it didn’t really do anything for me, I’m not opposed to the idea of a Optimus/Megatron buddy cop film where they have to begrudgingly work together but I was more hoping for a War/Fall of Cybertron kind of story (those games were peak for this series after all) rather than a origin film but that’s just me.
Now, I’m gonna be honest here, I’m actually interested in this movie/seeing how it will turn out. But that’s not really due to the trailer. (Note: This is going to be a long comment, read at your own interest/boredom) I’ve been listening in on all the behind the scenes stuff and leaks, and the movie sounds interesting to me. For starters it’s gonna have references/inspiration to the TF movies and shows of the past 40 years. Then you hear that the test screenings for this movie are reported to be the best test screenings Paramount has ever had for an animated movie, which would include the likes of the first SpongeBob movie, Rango, Mutant Mayhem, and I think even the Sonic films (at least in terms of CG animation). In fact the only issue some people had when discussing their experience with the test screening is that the movie was potentially “too lore heavy”, which was a concern for general audiences, but sounds like a promise for Transformers fans. Then there’s plot leaks that indicate that while there will be some light-heartedness and jokes at the starting half of the movie, there’s going to be a tone shift at the second half where it’s said to be become more serious and darker; after all the movie is said to end with the start of the Cybertronian Civil War. Then there’s reports of CinemaCon audience members being shown a serious scene between Orion Pax and D-16, and those reports say that whilst the audience was mixed on the trailer, they loved the serious scene they were shown. Also, side note, Chris Hemsworth is playing Orion Pax, not Optimus Prime; for anyone who still thinks he’s actually replacing Cullen. Chris even said that Peter Cullen helped him to nail down the American accent he uses for Orion Pax. And based on more leaks, Peter Cullen will be in the film once Orion Pax becomes Optimus Prime. Now don’t get me wrong, they definitely used too many humor clips for the teaser trailer here. The trailer ended up looking like a Guardians of the Galaxy trailer more than anything. If they listen to responses from people, they’ll cut back on the humor scenes for the second trailer and show some more of the serious scenes. With that said, a bad trailer doesn’t always entail a bad movie, just as a great trailer doesn’t always entail a great movie (we’ve had a lot of experience with that for recent Marvel movies). Just look at the initial trailers for Puss in the Boots: The Last Wish. Yes, it had great animation, but the reactions I saw from that film’s trailers were mainly questioning on why are we getting a sequel to Puss in Boots of all movies? None of us ever expected the movie would turn out as fantastic as it did. This also occurred with initial reactions to trailers for stuff like the first LEGO Movie, some Pixar movies, and TMNT: Mutant Mayhem. Of course with that last example Mutant Mayhem wasn’t received well by some more diehard TMNT fans, but the movie was enjoyed by people overall and was decently successful. Hell we’ve even experienced this kind of thing with Transformers in the past. Two of the most favored TF shows are Beast Wars and Transformers Animated, and there are still people who haven’t given either of those two shows a chance due to the CG used in Beast Wars and the animation style of Animated, even with all the good things people have said about both shows. So while the trailer seemingly entails a potential bad movie, the leaks and behind the scenes stuff for Transformers: One entails that it could be a good movie. Personally speaking, at the very least, I think it could be a Mutant Mayhem situation where some diehard fans won’t like it, but most other fans and the general audience will end of up liking the movie. Don’t get me wrong, the potential is still there for the movie to fail, but I also see the potential for the movie to succeed. And if we’re really lucky, we might end up finally getting a Transformers movie that actually stands up to the 1986 film. Overall, the teaser trailer definitely has mixed reviews; some people like it and other people don’t. If Hasbro and Paramount can’t convince more people after the second trailer, then they’re gonna have to hope people end up liking the movie when it comes out so that good word of mouth can spread. I’ll most likely be one of those people who go to see the movie opening weekend, and will give my final opinion on it when I see it in full. But at the moment, there’s enough stuff I’ve been hearing about that gives me some level of cautious optimism for the film, so we’ll see how it goes.
@@Tabbytha-ym8mb I mean I can’t say I blame people’s skepticism and cynicism about this. Not everyone has looked in on the news for the film, and Hasbro/Paramount didn’t make things easy to start things off with when they first announced it. The initial announcement either accidentally or foolishly stated TF:One would be the first animated TF movie, without even mentioning the 1986 movie; and there’s the fact that they initially only said Chris would be playing a Young Optimus Prime instead of saying Orion Pax thus making some people think they were replacing Cullen. In this day in age where people are far more unsure of new movies and shows, it wasn’t the smartest way to start things off. And speaking on the trailer itself, I feel like some of the complaints about the comedy wouldn’t have been much of an issue if they replaced the first time transformation scene in the trailer with a slightly more serious scene. But like I said, I see it’s potential, especially with the clear Moses and Ramses like portrayal for Orion Pax and D-16; Orion being the more adventurous troublemaker and D-16 being the one trying to keep them safe and out of trouble. I can definitely see how they can evolve into both Optimus and Megatron, respectively, by going this route. I also like the references in Orion’s and D-16’s designs. Pre-T-Cog, Orion looks like G1 Orion and D-16 looks like G1 MARVEL comics Megatron. Post-T-Cog, D-16 looks sort of like Cyberverse Megatron and Orion looks more like IDW Orion. It definitely helps to further grab my attention. But Hasbro and Paramount are going to have to do better with the second trailer, and any future advertising if they want more people to come in for the movie’s opening weekend.
@@jaydonmagan4694 True, first impressions matter and it did feel like they were forcing it with the humour, trying to really appeal to younger audiences. For what it’s worth, it probably isn’t going to deter me from watching, I’ll watch a movie even if I think it’s not going to be good for the curiosity. I used to judge too harshly before watching a movie but many judged movies like Puss In Boots, Mario, Spiderverse, and The Bad Guys, before they came out and did pretty good in the end. I’ll give this one a chance.
So was I personally would have used Fred Tatasciore from the War For Cybertron video games and went with the Megatronus arc but I'm not against the D-16 arc it's a nice change and unlike Bumblebee and ROTB we are still getting Megatron who we've been asking forever to be in the films and to be fair he's not bad
Someone commented earlier today while they're a major Transformers fan, they had to admit they knew this was not going to be for them, and he was right. As a fan of this legendary IP, I too know when to hang up the towel and remember not every iteration of the franchise is going to be something I like (kinda like with the TMNT. I couldn't stand ROTTMNT for the longest, yet still gave it a shot and watched every episode. That show still has the best fighting animation out of all of them to give a positive point). While most, if not dang near all, TF fans are adults and know the lore inside and out of every version, eventually we knew we wasn't going to like something along the lines of TF Earthspark and knew it was being geared toward our children. That was fine and I think it's great we'd want to pass down something so cool as Transformers to our kids. .... Then came the brand new Autobot who just happened to be non binary and they just had to delve into the pronouns game. Arcee is suddenly trans (do feel free to make sure I got the facts straight on this one -- partially no pun intended) and I've noticed now that the older fanbase is finally feeling comfortable with acknowledging the franchise being geared towards kids again and it's not always going to be for us..."THE MESSAGE" is beginning to sneak in a little more often than not. We all saw in the comics how the bots started sporting "rainbow" shipping and to be honest, some of them worked, some of them were completely fan written and fulfilled and some were so forced, fans started asking how the hell could autonomous beings be in same sex couples anyway. Comedy/levity was always a part of the franchise (simply turn on any 80's episode and tell me you took everything either Optimus or Megatron said seriously) and no one has a problem with it. I think the problem older fans have isn't so much for "this isn't for us" and moreso toward what these companies are willing to give our children. While Transformers has always been and forever will be a glorified toy commercial, growing up with it, we were still given quality toys and cartoons. Nowadays Hollywood is openly changing the lore of so many of our beloved characters and telling our children "this is how it's always been", "this was always the narrative" and with the aforementioned examples, I can kinda see why a lot of og fans aren't too pleased, or stuck in the middle of what to feel.
This. This sums up the situation so well. This isn't for us, but it's also not for our kids, because it is spreading "THE MESSAGE". Wokeness that is ruining it for us older fans and is trying to reprogram our kids. We need to show our kids the older stuff and ONLY the older stuff, not only to show them what real Transformers are, but to also keep the wokeness away from them, teach them the pure Transformers and then teach them how to beware of wokeness and how to fight it.
@@kinghyperheart1571 well, for starters I have heard of kids going back to the classic material when it comes to entertainment recently. Children aren't as stupid as most would like to think and they too have spoken up about how this nonsense is getting out of hand and they dont want it either. While I wouldn't put my child through the horror we all faced when Optimus Prime died just yet, I would rather show them what we grew up with at intervals. Remember, we can't force children to like the same things we liked, but we could at least give them the chance to see there's so much better out there than what modern Hollywood is trying to feed them.
@@kinghyperheart1571absolutely not the last thing kids need to learn is to get them to fight wokeness you might as well to tell them to started world war 3. Do not bring kids into this stupid culture war crap
I watched maybe half of the trailer and then turned it off. This is something I would not have watched as a kid in the 80's so I definitely wouldn't have wanted the toys. I just looked over at my movie shelf and spotted my copy of Transformers: The Movie and would rather watch that.
Bro, I did the same thing. I have been watching the G1 series over the month for the 40th anniversary in September. I'd rather be watching that, the Prime series, Bay's films, and Bumblebee than this.
I still find it hilariously ironic that joke Beast Wars made in the episode, "The Agenda Part 3" where Primal says the line, "Die-cast construction! It's a lost art."
I’m so confused right now; 2/3 of what I’m hearing in response to the trailer is really positive, and the other 1/3 extremely EXTREMELY negative. Based on the trailer the movie looks really good to me; it really feels like some people saw a trailer for an entirely different movie altogether with how different the opinions I’m hearing are. Also just to remind people, Orion Pax (Optimus before he was a Prime) in the G1 cartoon wasn’t voiced by Peter Cullen, he was voiced by Laurie Faso; it really isn’t that weird. This just reminds me of the dumb controversy around the design of the TF Legacy Bulkhead toy when it was revealed, since leaked listings caused some people to assume it was going to be an exact replica of the Prime cartoon Bulkhead design…and not a Generations figure of Bulkhead inspired by the Prime iteration. Typical I agree with what you guys say about things, but I’m gonna have to disagree on this one.
Personally id say let this film cook The early test screenings were positive,we're 100% getting peter back as optimus and Megatron will go through a similar. Plus its basically confirmed we're getting a trilogy so it makes sense the first film that initially set before the war all the characters would initially be laid back and slowly become the characters we know as the war goes on in the trilogy
I'm keeping a open mind but to be honest it's not what I expected, I was expecting a full movie with a director similar to the first scenes from the bumblebee movie.
"Sales are down so we're going to cut production costs." Well, that just reduces the quality of the toys and will cause sales to drop even further. Nobody wants to pay $25 for a toy that looks cheaper than a $10 toy from a few years ago. Cutting production costs is ALWAYS a death spiral for toys. I watched the trailer and it doesn't look like a theatrical release film at all. Video game cutscenes from 10 years ago have better CGI than what we've seen so far in the Transformers One trailer.
Did you see the words that said: " *BEFORE* HE WAS OPTIMUS PRIME, HE WAS ORION PAX." THIS IS *BEFORE* HE BECAME OPTIMUS. AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, HE WILL GET HIS TRADEMARK FACEPLATE!!!! I'M LITTERALY RUNNING A TF FANFICTION ON MY CHANNEL WITH AN (OPTIONAL)FACEPLATED OPTIMUS PRIME. DON'T FOUL THE MOVIE BEFORE IT COMES OUT! YOU WANTED A TF ORIGIN STORY--MINUS HUMANS, YOU GOT ONE. *_TALK DONE_* ........
I hate when people say something is "coded" a certain way, but imma be hypocritical for a sec and say their faces and dialogue is so twitter gay coded it takes me out, the graphics and voice acting i actually think are good though
To be fair to the toys, those are one step changers, a type of figure they have been making since 2014, they are meant for the youngest of children, Studio Series is the line where the movie figures will have actual quality
How about a movie adapted from the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games?! Why can't we have that?! There could've been a new Metroplex figure! 😭
My friend worked on this movie. Hasbro wanted to make it look like Spiderverse. They couldnt get it and ended up here. Thats why stylistically it looks bad and inbetween
Man...I thought they just fired all the 3d artist...and let AI make the models...but your comment kinda makes sense...but still, they failed miserably...
@@slackamacgaming6721 Not AI but Industrial Light and Magic lost many of their OG people in management, art, and tech under Disney's regime due to poor working conditions, low salaries, and DEI hires. It has become essentially unworkable now. These artists used to work in poor conditions, but DEI is affecting the VFX industry where projects require a lot of skills and talent
It looks good to me. If you pause the trailer at certain points it looks like a painted canvas almost. In certain shots you can clearly see that the G1 design element is strong in this as well. Soundwave, shockwave, and Starscream all look legitimately like their G1 counterparts. I'm excited to see it once it transitions to that portion of the movie. And when Megatron stamps the Decepticon logo on his chest, he looks like the G1 Megatron we know and love. All of these people are just jumping the gun.
So, they’re trying to do a Transformers War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron and gave us a low quality Rise of the Dark Spark. Sorry: lower quality RotDS
I'm cracking up because my 9 year old is excited and loved it. I think the man-boys need to chill. Is it possible the trailer showed all this because they're driving home that they were friends? I'm loving all the adults mad because they made a movie for kids. We want our Transformers to be serious...like Beast Wars! lol
The first lineup of toys you show are Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee: four characters whose popularity is primarily based on their characterizations in storylines from the original US cartoon and comic book series. How can they seem to recognize the popular qualities of the old series but do nothing to continue those threads? It's the opposite of how to capitalize on nostalgia. "Here are all the things you like, except we've completely changed them!"
That's funny, because me, a fan as far back as G1 back in the 80s, am very excited for this movie. The toys, however, have declined in quality over the years because they're pushing for quantity not quality, they don't even use toy molds anymore.
This is gonna be marketed towards families more than the die hard fans. Which if that's their intent....great. those toys look cheap though . Speaking of trailers, went to see a movie tonight and almost every trailer was a reboot or remake or unwanted sequel.
Optimis Prime is an 18 wheeler, Bumblebee is a VW Beatle, Megatron is a Pistol, the only Transformers Movie was made in 1986 and it traumatized us all.
They recently released a Bumblebee standalone movie. It was decent, not perfect but not bad. Though I do think it's odd that the first live-action Transformers movie was a standalone Bumblebee movie. I'd think they'd want the first live-action Transformers film to feature Optimus Prime. But I guess not.
Talk about judging by its cover, those $15 Titan Changer toys are 10 inches tall and have been around awhile so of course they’re stretched out so kids can get a tall bot with pocket money at Dollar General. What’s really cheap is Megatron and Starscream are recycled old toys and only the good guys get new molds. If it’s any consolation the eeevil Dr. Meridian Earthspark also suffers from half of its toyline recycling toys.
Earthspark have become a shelfwarmers in my country, no kids either fans ever collected them, and i never seen any new TF firgure release for the past several months as if the branch gave up on my country while other countries received more recent firgures release :/
Megatron sounding like the voice actor just phoning it in and sounding less like a younger version of the character and more like a typical black teenager is annoying. And I'm not even a big fan of Megatron! Chris Hemsworth's back is going to carry this crapshow, he's actually doing something with his role.
Are you sure you’re not making the comment about Megatron’s voice because the guy playing the role is black? no human character is shown in the trailer so I’m not sure how you came to the racial conclusion you did outside knowing the guy voicing him is black?
One thing in the fandom I'm getting tired of is G1 elitism, I actually enjoy G1 as a typical saturday mourning 80s cartoon like He-man, Thundercats, and G.I.Joe. But thats it, everytime a new TF product comes out people want G1 thats fine, but I actually enjoyed Beast Wars, Armada, Animated, and Prime(the last one I watch before I stopped going forward with the tv shows). And I know I'm going to get booted out for this but I enjoyed the first 3 bayverse movies they didn't need to look G1 Bay made them look like actual alien robots to be taken serious like robots being impaled, torn apart, spark explosions cause Bay knew 2000s required them to be action edgy. When Bumblebee came out I didn't watch it "I voted with my wallet" and said no cause it was for G1 fans that great they wanted a live action movie dedicated to G1 that I didn't want to watch a teenage drama story I admit the opening Cybertron scene is what I would love TF ONE to be like regardless of what design they gave them be it G1 or alien robo, but when Rise of the Beast came out I was excited to see it but everyone was trying to bar me from going to it and see Spiderman instead so I went alone and seen ROTB twice, my problem with it was the Maximals weren't center stage, and the Humans got in the way at times. I love Beast wars it aired when I was born and I always love giant animal fights so seeing the Transformers go with beast battling movies for once was fun, would I recommend it to folks no but it was the fact that they considered us Beast Wars fans for once was great. Cause each of the live action movies were homages to past TF shows Revenge of the fallen(09) was a love letter to Armada with Optimus Jetfire pack, Megatron being a tank, Sideways, Minicons, Demolisher. Age of Extinction(2014) was a love letter to Animated with Lockdown being the main villan, dinobots breathing fire, Megatrons head in a lab infecting technology, ninja autobots. The Last Knight(2017) pays tribute to TF:Prime with Nemesis Prime, Unicron being Earth, and a Dragon transformer. So as the franchise evolves further they have throw back to past incarnations so I don't mind G1, but not everyone is on board with G1 alone.
0:39 I was born in 1994 the day I saw a real transformers toy in front of me and I asked my dad for one. He looked at me and like I had just cursed him out. Why? Because transformers toys are expensive in quality, there's no way you're going to convince me that buying a $15 transformers toy matches up to the $80 toys that kids had to damn near beg their parents for what is this crap?
I think what Transformers fans wanted was a serious origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron. What else can we expect from the studio that spits out crap like Earth Spark
Personally I'm excited about the movie and change in tone begin more humorous only because I was turned off the serious tone the Michael Bay and other live action films attempted. The cartoons and video games themselves to me are varied in terms of humor and seriousness. Now for the toys this seems to be a trend all around. Toy are expensive as hell and the quality are pretty crappy and very easily broken.
Crazy how people decide to base their final thoughts on a movie based on one trailer. It’s not like trailers for animated movies focused mostly on humor before only for the final product to be amazing and include have a serious tone. We’ve literally been through this with Into the Spider-verse, the Lego Movies, Puss in Boots, Rottmnt etc.
Is it really that hard to ask for people to just have an open mind on something for once before judging to oblivion based on one piece of evidence? Literally just this morning the director said that film definitely has serious stakes despite its lightheartedness. At least wait for trailer 2 or something.
A trailer's job is meant to set the tone of the product and sell people on the concept. If the trailer is this badly recieved, then you've either misrepresented the film and failed at marketting, or you didn't and the film is just fundamentally bad. Either scenario doesn't make me want to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially when Hasbro has butchered the franchise before.
It's like the meme of the guy astride the other guy's plate. The guy with the plate asks "Why are you shitting on my plate?" The other guy replies, "How do you know it's shit? It isn't out yet."
The original Transformers cartoon with the Decepticons gathering Energon Cubes and the Autobots fighting against the Decepticons to prevent them from conquering the universe was awesome! if Bayformers had stuck with that main theme then those movies would have done better.
just when I thought maybe we could get transformers being taken seriously then they throw out discount guardians of the galaxy, complete with overused mix tape song half way through the trailer.
as a transformers fan this movie is a miss and this is also why i buy 200 dollar third party figures with real metal parts and not cheap factory made crap
How do we know Hasbro is not secretly behind the Third Party Transformers toys companies? Maybe Hasbro is doing that to charge even more money for their products? The only problem with this theory is that the quality of those Third Party Transformers toys is too good. Hasbro is known for low quality garbage.
Most of your criticisms would be cured by doing some research. The director and test screening audiences and have said the movie isn't like the trailer for the whole thing, Also the toys are more expensive because of the increased price of plastic and inflation. Also the new toys are some of the best they've ever been what are you talking about. Studio Series has been great. Old toys sucked with less parts and worse posability.
Not only that but Transformers One is its own movie that is only slightly connected to the others to avoid confusion. It's still its own thing and not directly connected to the movies. The director also said this.
I don't mean to keep complaining but they keep saying dumber and dumber things. This is rendered extremely expensively and looks good. Like objectively rendered and lit well. It doesn't look like a streaming show. Also why did you say you were gonna buy the literal children's toys to feel how bad they were. (older toys had shitty cheap overpriced figures so why point out that newer ones do too? Also I don't get what is wrong with the faces it looks like a fucking face does. Megatron actually looks great. Also after all that this movie is a Kids movie not a mature adult movie so grow up.
Also trailers have unfinished CG so even though it does look good some bits that look janky are just unfinished. Overall you guys need to get some self awareness and do research instead of browsing twitter.
Don't be fair with Hasbro about increasing costs. Hasbro is not fair with customers when they produce things that break easily. Hasbro's "plastic free" packaging idea for "environmental" reasons was utter a lie! Hasbro clearly doesn't care about the environment when it produces "toys" that people will throw away within days. How does that really "help" the environment?
@@RoyAbinizaSure you can. You can choose to not watch and vocalize why not to support crappy lazy cashgrab content. Its a shitty movie/show's worst nightmare. Just ask the writers for Madame Web or Velma.🙃
I've said it MANY times before - the 86 movie BOMBED because of critics. Adults reviewed a movie that they had NO CONNECTION too at all. Kids were flat out SHOCKED and CRIED during the 86 movie. It's a HARDCORE war movie - especially considering how tame the first 2 seasons were. It's damn near, and might I dare say a masterpiece. GI JOE The Movie is great too.
I really hate the Bay version of Bumblebee's face, stop making him look like that, just because he has the name doesn't mean you have to make him look like one.
I think many people are pre-judging it way too soon. The director has already confirmed that the first trailer focused on the buddy elements as well as the humor because he wants it to be welcome and inviting. However, the film is about the divergent paths that both Optimus & Megatron begin to take that eventually leads to the war and that it will get dark quickly. This is supposed to be a trilogy...this first movie is only the beginning. By the end when it's all said and done, I believe finally seeing the relationship Optimus & Meg had as friends will make the tragic turns that the war takes even more poignant. In addition, the Transformers Bible was used to craft the film. People forget stuff like the psuedo-organic life like Turbofoxes are straight up from G1...Mirage used to hunt Turbofoxes, remember? The fact that in G1, Transformers couldn't transform and didn't have their cogs...they were oppressed by the Quintessons. This looks the same thing...the Quintessons are oppressing the Transformers and both Megs and Optimus rise up against them. Even Megatron's D-16 identity is a callback to the Japanese naming convention as well as Marvel Comic's black helmeted early Megs. Starscream, Shockwave, and Soundwave all look bang on if you pause that throne room scene. I'm excited and I think this will turn out way better than some of the G1 grognards are giving it. Hell, the Quintessons look badazz. I'm amped for it. People need to give it time and a couple more trailers. This is for the kids but it's also going to end up being more darker in the end. And hearing Peter Cullen's voice when he says One gave me chills!

People are saying transformers fans hate comedy. We don’t we just want the stories to take themselves seriously. G1 Beast Wars Animated and Prime are all hilarious and people love them because they have clever writing that knows when to balance out serious moments and doesn’t just use millennial mcu humor
Agreed
I'm sorry I don't understand your argument here.
It's dumb-downed Whedon "comedy" people are tired of.
@@bullshitproductions2539 I just said it they take themselves seriously and balance their funny moments with more serious ones and don’t just rely on marvel humor
The humor in the trailer was cringe.
Why can't movie people do clever humor anymore?
Not interested in the Marvel humor they're going for. Transformers, to me, has always been semi serious with some humor sprinkled through. Not Thor: Love and Thunder.
"Marvel humor"....you can just say humor, those who hate marvel seem more obsessed with them than the supposed shills
You saw the James Gun Reference too
It looks like Jumanji welcome to the jungle with Transformers
It's marvel humor because everyone tried to copy the snarky bullshit from the original avengers
I'm guessing the movie will be light-hearted at first and then be serious later on.
Transformers One is a kids' movie. Cool. Nothing wrong with that. But a kids' movie doesn't have to be 100% goofy comedy. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Transformers: The Movie (1986). You know why I loved that movie so much as a kid? Not because of the comedy (although that aspect was fine). I loved it because it told a compelling story of a group of heroes overcoming adversity to save Cybertron from the evil Unicron. That's the kind of movie Transformers One needs to be. Instead, it looks like they're making the same missteps that were made for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
That is the thing. It isn't going to be. The director is already said that this trailer only showcases the comedy to show that it's about them being friends in the beginning. However, the movie will begin to show the divergent paths that both Optimus and Megatron take that will lead up to the war. I think it's going to be very poignant because we will finally see a side of Optimus and Megatron that we've never seen before on film and that is their friendship.
@@AAX1975 keep sipping the sauce dude. These writers are hacks, look at their previous work.
Huh ooohhh so you want a movie of the transformers overcoming adversity to stop an evil threat coming to their planet.
what about a movie where the transformers are overcoming adversity to stop an evil threat coming to their planet.
Aka that's literally the fucking movie dude. They are literally slaves trying to leave to for the surface to get alt modes so they can be equals(overcoming adversity some would say) while being hunted only for a evil threat to come to the planet and they now have to fight for the planet that was oppressing them.
But this movie has comedy how dare they imo I think it's great really shows how close they are and in the end of the movie. When Megatron goes ok we won but am not letting the oppressive government retake Thier power am taking over!
And bumblebee tries to say something to defuse the situation and Megatron RIPS OUT HIS VOICE BOX like he does in other shows setting up conflict for a sequel I think it will all be worth it.
Like movie IST out yet but everybody is already on it's ass it could be amazing.
@@ardendragoon I get you view am same but this is written by different people and just watching the trailer you can see the love in the references they make it's clearly a fan that knows their shit from G1,IDW, Beast machines and prime references this has so much potential it's different but they wanna show the brotherly bond Prime always says he has with Megatron in every show before the war
Mutant mayaem Was great what are you talking about?
Personally as a hardcore Transformer's fan I'm mixed. The concept on paper sounds like it be an awesome idea. A movie focused on the time Optimus and Megatron were friends before the great war sounds dope but the tone of the movie is just personally throwing me off. Transformers isn't a franchise that needs MCU style humor even with more heart lighted series like Animated it still had serious moments without needing to crack a joke to break the tension. Hopefully it's just the trailer movies have been done dirty by trailers in the past so hopefully that's the case here hopefully.
Honestly, having seen the trailer? I actually do feel like the trailer is doing the movie dirty--there's hints in there that there is, in fact, a serious plot somewhere in the movie and they're not just going on this random roadtrip for teh lulz and friendship. It's just that it's hard to tell if what happened is that the people in charge of marketing this movie are absolutely confused or if the more serious plot didn't hold together well enough so they're hoping to distract you with jokes from that for long enough to get you to buy a ticket. (I mean, it might be that they're wanting to keep the more serious plot so it'll be a surprise when people first see the movie, but the trailer should have at least done more to tell the audience to not go in expecting "A road trip movie but with Transformers.")
I think their take is wrong. This is just one trailer. It's going to get darker and it's going to be what we expect.
@@ryohoshi8445if you read the most recent interview with the director, he clearly says that the first trailer has mostly a focus on on the buddy part. However, the movie is not just laughs. It starts to show the different paths that both Optimus and Megatron take in the third half of the movie which will lead up to the war. I mean let's not forget that there's a great shot of Megatron stamping the Decepticon logo on himself and looking completely badass and just like his G1 counterpart.
@@AAX1975 That definitely sounds like the marketing department isn't doing its job well, then, since while that works as a trailer concept for the implied movie...it very much needs to be either not the first trailer or VERY closely followed by the next trailer. People don't go reading interviews with directors if they aren't seriously interested, and the trailer is the make-or-break here.
@@ryohoshi8445 beyond the bitterness on this channel and the hate-filled Twitter feeds, the trailer has been well received.

@@NetBattler they genuinely do. oversized Tarn Ko is a wonderful example.
Kids still deserve stories that can challenge them.
They exist but in the eastern sphere. And have for decades. Years before transformers they had a multifaceted narrative about war in the Gundam series and stuff like char Aznabel using an rpg to kill a group of people starting with a woman's face. Heck 10 years before transformers you had mazinger z with a kid using a mech to slice open a kaiju and punch its insides, and it's blood was red. Both kids shows from the 70s, and that's not even scratching the surface
People in the west are way more overprotective over what young people see, hear and does nowadays than they used to be in the past.
People think about them as wimps and idiots that cant understand or handle anything these days and the smallest thing could harm them for the rest of their lives.
I'm not challenge them is the right word. But I don't think they want every movie to treat them like children. Kids are more than giggle boxes.
Transformers Armada's version of Starscream with what he went through and becoming a hero that sacrifices himself is something I still remember to this day. "I tried to gain favor from you, but nothing was ever good enough. No matter how many battles I fought you've always found fault. Then I saw how Optomus treated his men and I saw he was a leader of integrity. Unlike you..." and he could have actually taken down Megatron in their duel and taken control of the Deceptions, but he genuinely just wanted some respect so he instead planned to lose all along just to show Megatron how evenly matched they were and in doing so in a final gambit firing at Unicron to show the overwhelming difference in power that the Autotbots and Deceptions have to join forces in order to survive.
It is why they watch anime.
Saw the Trailer, Nothing against Chris Hemsworth, but Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime

Well he's Orion Pax. Peter is also not the Voice of the original Orion Pax.
Fun fact: David Kaye is the only voice actor to play both Optimus Prime and Megatron.
@@DavidB.Rockin Yeeeeeeeeesss!
This is a younger version of Optimus before he became Optimus. I don't think Peter's voice would fit a younger Optimus.
“All you do is complain about everything!” No, Hasbro, we’re just complaining about crappy toys and crappy quality.
Why don't they get this is why we all buy 3rd party stuff
Well, if these comments are anything to go by, people are giving s*** hot takes off of one trailer without even seeing the rest of the movie. The directors already said that the first trailer has more of a focus on the comedy bits because they want people to see that it's going to be a fun movie. However, it doesn't show the serious parts and he says that it does end up becoming a part of the core end of the movie as Optimus and Megatron ends up taking different choices.
@@AAX1975 You CAN criticize a trailer, you CAN sorta guess the overall quality from trailers. I see you whining on multiple comments here. Opinions are opinions, there’s literally no point in complaining about it because they won’t stop. Let them think what they think.
@@OrionDawn15TMNT movie didn't failed so lol
Would it be too much to ask for a movie that looks like the opening scene of the Bumblebee movie ? Apparently.😮💨
Anyone who tries to excuse lesser work as "for kids" really just expose how they view kids, and how little respect they have for the future generations. There are many things that were made "for kids" in the past that are genuinely timeless. It is merely an excuse to do worse, and nothing more.
I think there's one fool trying to make that excuse right now
Sigh....Just like with tons of modern kids shows: modern Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, Ben 10, Powerpuffgirls, Thundercats Roar, Teen Titans Go 😔. All the earlier iterations of these shows were so much better and gave top wuality content despite "being for kids". Not anymore, they've all fallen from grace. And it seems Transformers is next.
Stick with eastern media. Heck as far back as 5 decades ago they're lightyears beyond what kids media in the west is capable of now, comics included.
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 Facts dude. Manga and anime for the win! Western entertainment today cant even compete with them.

Well that's just Prime.
I'd rather have gotten more Beast Machines than Prime. Not a compliment.
@@TexasHollowEarth Beast Machines wandered off into dark paths and lost the plot of Transformers. It might have been interesting to see what came next, but they killed that with its ending.
I've been half-listening/half reading the comments when I came to this one.
It deepened the sadness the trailer brought me when it sank in that this is a movie.
To think, they want a family to pay upwards of $70 (snacks,etc) to see something like this.
Simple - TF fans wanted a film based around the first act of the Bumblebee movie.
You can certainly have humour but it was just MCU style throughout and just didn't stop.
I can see why Peter Cullen and Frank Welker were not used, their voice casting would have looked out of place with whatever they were going for here.
When did Transformers become GOBOTS.
when the new guys took over Hasbro
Gaybots
when Hasbro brought out Tonka
The toys that they're bitching about are for the little tiny kids. They're not even the good ones.
to be honest Gobots came first
Old toys invoked so much imagination from the children playing with them.
Back in the 90s / 80s "For Kids" didn't mean "no need to try."
Inflation: what ISN'T expensive anymore!?!
A few things I know of but I'd rather not say because then more people are going to jump on them then the prices will go up. Other than the crazy puffs at lil ceasars
Personally as a Transformers fan I’m very mixed on it, on the one hand I don’t mind this buddy cop adventure with Orion & Megatron because if done right it would make it even more tragic when they become enemies like X-Men First Class and if the test screenings are anything to go by you can at least tell the people behind this movie actually care about the property (unlike Micheal Bay), but yeah the very MCU style humor and celebrity voice acting really threw me off, I’m still gonna give it the benefit of the doubt but I can see why so many are skeptical about this movie.

Hasbro, with a mischievous glint in its corporate eye, served up precisely what fans asked for... or so it seemed. What we got was akin to opening a beautifully wrapped present, only to find a whoopee cushion inside, ready to burst with the slightest pressure. Behold, a Transformers movie that could have been a majestic journey through the bowels of Cybertronian civilization but instead, morphed into a crony joke-filled, unserious abomination. It's as if the essence of every quip, gag, and one-liner from the MCU was distilled into its purest form, injected directly into the heart of Transformers, and left to marinate.
Hasbro, in their generosity, believed they were gifting fans the ultimate experience. "You wanted Transformers without humans?" they said, a sly smile creeping across their faces. "Here it is, but with a twist! It's the Transformers as you've never seen them before: less like mighty warriors in a cosmic saga and more like characters in a prime-time sitcom."
Thanks a lot, Hasbro.

I mean I'm going to be honest the trailer doesn't look that bad. Their are difference that I don't like, but not too bad. The humor what throws me off of how unfunny it is as their trying so hard to be funny.
I'm cautious interested and to be honest to me this looks more fun to watch then rise and I don't think that film was bad by any means but It could've been better had the makers not messed with some of the Bumblebee designs and stopped with the Glum Optimus Prime portrayals it was better than AOE but Prime literally is supposed to be the beacon of Hope and on who holds on to the faith that one day the war will end and enemies who were once brothers could be that once more.
The humor is more like they are more concerned about the powers they have than the situation around them. I still think it is better than having a sarcastic viewpoint. However, I do agree the humor doesnt hit the mark.
@@doomslayerprime9749I agree
I don't understand the obsession with making all movies high on comedy. If this movie has a more serious tone then I may watch it, but right now with this trailer it's a hardcore no. Which is sad because I love Transformers.

This looks like every awful generic Hollywood animated script, but they decided to just claim two of the characters are Optimus and Megatron. This is just Elemental of whatever but with a brand slapped on it.
Wasn't Megatron a gladiator and optimus a librarian before hand?
Depends on the versions, but those are commonly accepted origins. G1 Orion Pax was simply a factory worker on Cybertron until he and Elita One where caught up in an early attack by Megatron and his new Decepticon faction.
To be honest while I do get what they were going for it didn’t really do anything for me, I’m not opposed to the idea of a Optimus/Megatron buddy cop film where they have to begrudgingly work together but I was more hoping for a War/Fall of Cybertron kind of story (those games were peak for this series after all) rather than a origin film but that’s just me.

When is Hasbro going to sell the franchise to Takara Tomy? They co-own the franchise and make better toys than them.
Now, I’m gonna be honest here, I’m actually interested in this movie/seeing how it will turn out. But that’s not really due to the trailer. (Note: This is going to be a long comment, read at your own interest/boredom)
I’ve been listening in on all the behind the scenes stuff and leaks, and the movie sounds interesting to me. For starters it’s gonna have references/inspiration to the TF movies and shows of the past 40 years. Then you hear that the test screenings for this movie are reported to be the best test screenings Paramount has ever had for an animated movie, which would include the likes of the first SpongeBob movie, Rango, Mutant Mayhem, and I think even the Sonic films (at least in terms of CG animation). In fact the only issue some people had when discussing their experience with the test screening is that the movie was potentially “too lore heavy”, which was a concern for general audiences, but sounds like a promise for Transformers fans.
Then there’s plot leaks that indicate that while there will be some light-heartedness and jokes at the starting half of the movie, there’s going to be a tone shift at the second half where it’s said to be become more serious and darker; after all the movie is said to end with the start of the Cybertronian Civil War. Then there’s reports of CinemaCon audience members being shown a serious scene between Orion Pax and D-16, and those reports say that whilst the audience was mixed on the trailer, they loved the serious scene they were shown.
Also, side note, Chris Hemsworth is playing Orion Pax, not Optimus Prime; for anyone who still thinks he’s actually replacing Cullen. Chris even said that Peter Cullen helped him to nail down the American accent he uses for Orion Pax. And based on more leaks, Peter Cullen will be in the film once Orion Pax becomes Optimus Prime.
Now don’t get me wrong, they definitely used too many humor clips for the teaser trailer here. The trailer ended up looking like a Guardians of the Galaxy trailer more than anything. If they listen to responses from people, they’ll cut back on the humor scenes for the second trailer and show some more of the serious scenes.
With that said, a bad trailer doesn’t always entail a bad movie, just as a great trailer doesn’t always entail a great movie (we’ve had a lot of experience with that for recent Marvel movies). Just look at the initial trailers for Puss in the Boots: The Last Wish. Yes, it had great animation, but the reactions I saw from that film’s trailers were mainly questioning on why are we getting a sequel to Puss in Boots of all movies? None of us ever expected the movie would turn out as fantastic as it did. This also occurred with initial reactions to trailers for stuff like the first LEGO Movie, some Pixar movies, and TMNT: Mutant Mayhem. Of course with that last example Mutant Mayhem wasn’t received well by some more diehard TMNT fans, but the movie was enjoyed by people overall and was decently successful. Hell we’ve even experienced this kind of thing with Transformers in the past. Two of the most favored TF shows are Beast Wars and Transformers Animated, and there are still people who haven’t given either of those two shows a chance due to the CG used in Beast Wars and the animation style of Animated, even with all the good things people have said about both shows.
So while the trailer seemingly entails a potential bad movie, the leaks and behind the scenes stuff for Transformers: One entails that it could be a good movie. Personally speaking, at the very least, I think it could be a Mutant Mayhem situation where some diehard fans won’t like it, but most other fans and the general audience will end of up liking the movie. Don’t get me wrong, the potential is still there for the movie to fail, but I also see the potential for the movie to succeed. And if we’re really lucky, we might end up finally getting a Transformers movie that actually stands up to the 1986 film.
Overall, the teaser trailer definitely has mixed reviews; some people like it and other people don’t. If Hasbro and Paramount can’t convince more people after the second trailer, then they’re gonna have to hope people end up liking the movie when it comes out so that good word of mouth can spread. I’ll most likely be one of those people who go to see the movie opening weekend, and will give my final opinion on it when I see it in full. But at the moment, there’s enough stuff I’ve been hearing about that gives me some level of cautious optimism for the film, so we’ll see how it goes.
@@Tabbytha-ym8mb I mean I can’t say I blame people’s skepticism and cynicism about this. Not everyone has looked in on the news for the film, and Hasbro/Paramount didn’t make things easy to start things off with when they first announced it. The initial announcement either accidentally or foolishly stated TF:One would be the first animated TF movie, without even mentioning the 1986 movie; and there’s the fact that they initially only said Chris would be playing a Young Optimus Prime instead of saying Orion Pax thus making some people think they were replacing Cullen.
In this day in age where people are far more unsure of new movies and shows, it wasn’t the smartest way to start things off. And speaking on the trailer itself, I feel like some of the complaints about the comedy wouldn’t have been much of an issue if they replaced the first time transformation scene in the trailer with a slightly more serious scene. But like I said, I see it’s potential, especially with the clear Moses and Ramses like portrayal for Orion Pax and D-16; Orion being the more adventurous troublemaker and D-16 being the one trying to keep them safe and out of trouble. I can definitely see how they can evolve into both Optimus and Megatron, respectively, by going this route. I also like the references in Orion’s and D-16’s designs. Pre-T-Cog, Orion looks like G1 Orion and D-16 looks like G1 MARVEL comics Megatron. Post-T-Cog, D-16 looks sort of like Cyberverse Megatron and Orion looks more like IDW Orion. It definitely helps to further grab my attention.
But Hasbro and Paramount are going to have to do better with the second trailer, and any future advertising if they want more people to come in for the movie’s opening weekend.
@@jaydonmagan4694 True, first impressions matter and it did feel like they were forcing it with the humour, trying to really appeal to younger audiences. For what it’s worth, it probably isn’t going to deter me from watching, I’ll watch a movie even if I think it’s not going to be good for the curiosity. I used to judge too harshly before watching a movie but many judged movies like Puss In Boots, Mario, Spiderverse, and The Bad Guys, before they came out and did pretty good in the end. I’ll give this one a chance.
Was put off by Megatron's voice
So was I personally would have used Fred Tatasciore from the War For Cybertron video games and went with the Megatronus arc but I'm not against the D-16 arc it's a nice change and unlike Bumblebee and ROTB we are still getting Megatron who we've been asking forever to be in the films and to be fair he's not bad
After 'Earthspark' I am not expecting anything good from Transformers ever again.
Agreed once I saw it was all downhill from there
Earthspark trailer already hit the final nail in the coffin for me, especially that optimus clip
I disagree
Man... this video aged HORRIBLE🤣 it's actually the best Transformers movie ever made
@@darkspark_cosplay fr
Someone commented earlier today while they're a major Transformers fan, they had to admit they knew this was not going to be for them, and he was right. As a fan of this legendary IP, I too know when to hang up the towel and remember not every iteration of the franchise is going to be something I like (kinda like with the TMNT. I couldn't stand ROTTMNT for the longest, yet still gave it a shot and watched every episode. That show still has the best fighting animation out of all of them to give a positive point). While most, if not dang near all, TF fans are adults and know the lore inside and out of every version, eventually we knew we wasn't going to like something along the lines of TF Earthspark and knew it was being geared toward our children. That was fine and I think it's great we'd want to pass down something so cool as Transformers to our kids.
....
Then came the brand new Autobot who just happened to be non binary and they just had to delve into the pronouns game. Arcee is suddenly trans (do feel free to make sure I got the facts straight on this one -- partially no pun intended) and I've noticed now that the older fanbase is finally feeling comfortable with acknowledging the franchise being geared towards kids again and it's not always going to be for us..."THE MESSAGE" is beginning to sneak in a little more often than not. We all saw in the comics how the bots started sporting "rainbow" shipping and to be honest, some of them worked, some of them were completely fan written and fulfilled and some were so forced, fans started asking how the hell could autonomous beings be in same sex couples anyway. Comedy/levity was always a part of the franchise (simply turn on any 80's episode and tell me you took everything either Optimus or Megatron said seriously) and no one has a problem with it. I think the problem older fans have isn't so much for "this isn't for us" and moreso toward what these companies are willing to give our children. While Transformers has always been and forever will be a glorified toy commercial, growing up with it, we were still given quality toys and cartoons. Nowadays Hollywood is openly changing the lore of so many of our beloved characters and telling our children "this is how it's always been", "this was always the narrative" and with the aforementioned examples, I can kinda see why a lot of og fans aren't too pleased, or stuck in the middle of what to feel.
This. This sums up the situation so well. This isn't for us, but it's also not for our kids, because it is spreading "THE MESSAGE".
Wokeness that is ruining it for us older fans and is trying to reprogram our kids.
We need to show our kids the older stuff and ONLY the older stuff, not only to show them what real Transformers are, but to also keep the wokeness away from them, teach them the pure Transformers and then teach them how to beware of wokeness and how to fight it.
@@kinghyperheart1571 well, for starters I have heard of kids going back to the classic material when it comes to entertainment recently. Children aren't as stupid as most would like to think and they too have spoken up about how this nonsense is getting out of hand and they dont want it either. While I wouldn't put my child through the horror we all faced when Optimus Prime died just yet, I would rather show them what we grew up with at intervals. Remember, we can't force children to like the same things we liked, but we could at least give them the chance to see there's so much better out there than what modern Hollywood is trying to feed them.
@@kinghyperheart1571absolutely not the last thing kids need to learn is to get them to fight wokeness you might as well to tell them to started world war 3. Do not bring kids into this stupid culture war crap
You can tell Takara Tomy had no hand in these toys
Which isn't true. They have a hand in *all* TF toys.
I watched maybe half of the trailer and then turned it off. This is something I would not have watched as a kid in the 80's so I definitely wouldn't have wanted the toys. I just looked over at my movie shelf and spotted my copy of Transformers: The Movie and would rather watch that.
Bro, I did the same thing.
I have been watching the G1 series over the month for the 40th anniversary in September. I'd rather be watching that, the Prime series, Bay's films, and Bumblebee than this.
There are shows for kids and there are shows for toddlers.
This thing looks like a show for slow toddlers.
I still find it hilariously ironic that joke Beast Wars made in the episode, "The Agenda Part 3" where Primal says the line, "Die-cast construction! It's a lost art."
I’m so confused right now; 2/3 of what I’m hearing in response to the trailer is really positive, and the other 1/3 extremely EXTREMELY negative.
Based on the trailer the movie looks really good to me; it really feels like some people saw a trailer for an entirely different movie altogether with how different the opinions I’m hearing are.
Also just to remind people, Orion Pax (Optimus before he was a Prime) in the G1 cartoon wasn’t voiced by Peter Cullen, he was voiced by Laurie Faso; it really isn’t that weird.
This just reminds me of the dumb controversy around the design of the TF Legacy Bulkhead toy when it was revealed, since leaked listings caused some people to assume it was going to be an exact replica of the Prime cartoon Bulkhead design…and not a Generations figure of Bulkhead inspired by the Prime iteration.
Typical I agree with what you guys say about things, but I’m gonna have to disagree on this one.
Its transforming time? we´re copying Power Rangers now?
Theyre copying lightyear
THis is bad comedy. - Galvatron comedy critique
It looked interesting but it just doesnt feel right.
It doesnt mesh with lore thats been established for decades.
I want something like TFP
the trailer looked horrible too.. hard pass
Personally id say let this film cook
The early test screenings were positive,we're 100% getting peter back as optimus and Megatron will go through a similar.
Plus its basically confirmed we're getting a trilogy so it makes sense the first film that initially set before the war all the characters would initially be laid back and slowly become the characters we know as the war goes on in the trilogy
LMFAO the beauty of RUclips playing the Paramount trailer for this turd of a movie before this video is just awe inspiring!
I'm keeping a open mind but to be honest it's not what I expected, I was expecting a full movie with a director similar to the first scenes from the bumblebee movie.
"Sales are down so we're going to cut production costs." Well, that just reduces the quality of the toys and will cause sales to drop even further. Nobody wants to pay $25 for a toy that looks cheaper than a $10 toy from a few years ago. Cutting production costs is ALWAYS a death spiral for toys.
I watched the trailer and it doesn't look like a theatrical release film at all. Video game cutscenes from 10 years ago have better CGI than what we've seen so far in the Transformers One trailer.
I will never understand the fixation on trying to make optimus work withouth his facemask.
The only time it ever did work was in Beast Wars.
No it didn't
Right that's his trademark and he looks stupid without it you would think it would be easier to animate then a mouth
The Bay movies and some cartoons like Prime made it work without his mask.
Did you see the words that said: " *BEFORE* HE WAS OPTIMUS PRIME, HE WAS ORION PAX." THIS IS *BEFORE* HE BECAME OPTIMUS. AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, HE WILL GET HIS TRADEMARK FACEPLATE!!!! I'M LITTERALY RUNNING A TF FANFICTION ON MY CHANNEL WITH AN (OPTIONAL)FACEPLATED OPTIMUS PRIME. DON'T FOUL THE MOVIE BEFORE IT COMES OUT! YOU WANTED A TF ORIGIN STORY--MINUS HUMANS, YOU GOT ONE.
*_TALK DONE_* ........
They made the robots look almost human... with modern day Marvel humor to boot!!
Clown Show.
I hate when people say something is "coded" a certain way, but imma be hypocritical for a sec and say their faces and dialogue is so twitter gay coded it takes me out, the graphics and voice acting i actually think are good though
To be fair to the toys, those are one step changers, a type of figure they have been making since 2014, they are meant for the youngest of children, Studio Series is the line where the movie figures will have actual quality
At least these toys seem to match the audience the production seems to be going for.
How about a movie adapted from the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games?! Why can't we have that?! There could've been a new Metroplex figure! 😭
I’m actually wanting to see this bc this is a Transformers movie that actually DONT have humans involved.
I don't like porn with animals involved.
That doesn't automatically make gay porn good to me.
My friend worked on this movie. Hasbro wanted to make it look like Spiderverse. They couldnt get it and ended up here. Thats why stylistically it looks bad and inbetween
Do Megatron and Optimus Prime sleep together in this movie?
Man...I thought they just fired all the 3d artist...and let AI make the models...but your comment kinda makes sense...but still, they failed miserably...
@@slackamacgaming6721 Not AI but Industrial Light and Magic lost many of their OG people in management, art, and tech under Disney's regime due to poor working conditions, low salaries, and DEI hires. It has become essentially unworkable now. These artists used to work in poor conditions, but DEI is affecting the VFX industry where projects require a lot of skills and talent
It looks good to me. If you pause the trailer at certain points it looks like a painted canvas almost. In certain shots you can clearly see that the G1 design element is strong in this as well. Soundwave, shockwave, and Starscream all look legitimately like their G1 counterparts. I'm excited to see it once it transitions to that portion of the movie. And when Megatron stamps the Decepticon logo on his chest, he looks like the G1 Megatron we know and love. All of these people are just jumping the gun.
Me: "Man why does this film have so much MCU humor?"
*finds out the writers of Ant Man and The Wasp wrote this movie*
"Oh..... that's why"
I think Hasbro should surrender full ownership of the Transformers IP to Takara. At least we'll finally have transformers in SRW games.
So, they’re trying to do a Transformers War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron and gave us a low quality Rise of the Dark Spark.
Sorry: lower quality RotDS
I'm cracking up because my 9 year old is excited and loved it.
I think the man-boys need to chill.
Is it possible the trailer showed all this because they're driving home that they were friends?
I'm loving all the adults mad because they made a movie for kids.
We want our Transformers to be serious...like Beast Wars! lol
Poor Bumblebee always getting the obviously-combined-legs-to-save-production-cost end of the stick
The first lineup of toys you show are Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee: four characters whose popularity is primarily based on their characterizations in storylines from the original US cartoon and comic book series. How can they seem to recognize the popular qualities of the old series but do nothing to continue those threads? It's the opposite of how to capitalize on nostalgia. "Here are all the things you like, except we've completely changed them!"
I’m getting Transformers: Love and Thunder vibes.
Megatron and OP are gonna make out and make Elita watch.
Me to the Monkey Paw: "I want a Transformers movie that takes place on Cybertron"
The Monkey Paw:
This looks a disney juinior rip-off... what the hell...
That's funny, because me, a fan as far back as G1 back in the 80s, am very excited for this movie. The toys, however, have declined in quality over the years because they're pushing for quantity not quality, they don't even use toy molds anymore.
If this bombs, they are going to put more humans in the subsequent films. I'll wait for the reviews on this, could be fun.
Or just stop making Transformers movies because didn’t the last one underperformed?
@@zillauniverse7208The last like 3 underperformed everywhere except China.
@@rwberger6 No? Not even em liked the last 3, compared to TLK and especially AOE and DOTM
Eh. I'm gonna give it a shot. I said the same thing about Transformers: Animated (2007), then I ended up enjoying it and binging the whole series.
This is gonna be marketed towards families more than the die hard fans. Which if that's their intent....great. those toys look cheap though .
Speaking of trailers, went to see a movie tonight and almost every trailer was a reboot or remake or unwanted sequel.
those toys look like something you would get with a kids meal
Optimis Prime is an 18 wheeler, Bumblebee is a VW Beatle, Megatron is a Pistol, the only Transformers Movie was made in 1986 and it traumatized us all.
Land before time did that for me
The original little mermaid (not the disney one) did that to me
Geewunner spotted 😑
They recently released a Bumblebee standalone movie. It was decent, not perfect but not bad. Though I do think it's odd that the first live-action Transformers movie was a standalone Bumblebee movie. I'd think they'd want the first live-action Transformers film to feature Optimus Prime. But I guess not.
@@Kirbyman1223 what does that even mean?
Talk about judging by its cover, those $15 Titan Changer toys are 10 inches tall and have been around awhile so of course they’re stretched out so kids can get a tall bot with pocket money at Dollar General. What’s really cheap is Megatron and Starscream are recycled old toys and only the good guys get new molds.
If it’s any consolation the eeevil Dr. Meridian Earthspark also suffers from half of its toyline recycling toys.
Earthspark have become a shelfwarmers in my country, no kids either fans ever collected them, and i never seen any new TF firgure release for the past several months as if the branch gave up on my country while other countries received more recent firgures release :/
Megatron sounding like the voice actor just phoning it in and sounding less like a younger version of the character and more like a typical black teenager is annoying. And I'm not even a big fan of Megatron! Chris Hemsworth's back is going to carry this crapshow, he's actually doing something with his role.
Are you sure you’re not making the comment about Megatron’s voice because the guy playing the role is black? no human character is shown in the trailer so I’m not sure how you came to the racial conclusion you did outside knowing the guy voicing him is black?
How do we go from Transformers Prime & Bumblebee to THIS???
Looks fun to me
@@animezilla4486 Of course you do, because you have no brain cells left in your brain.
These look like McDonald's Happy Meal toys😆😆😆
One thing in the fandom I'm getting tired of is G1 elitism, I actually enjoy G1 as a typical saturday mourning 80s cartoon like He-man, Thundercats, and G.I.Joe. But thats it, everytime a new TF product comes out people want G1 thats fine, but I actually enjoyed Beast Wars, Armada, Animated, and Prime(the last one I watch before I stopped going forward with the tv shows). And I know I'm going to get booted out for this but I enjoyed the first 3 bayverse movies they didn't need to look G1 Bay made them look like actual alien robots to be taken serious like robots being impaled, torn apart, spark explosions cause Bay knew 2000s required them to be action edgy. When Bumblebee came out I didn't watch it "I voted with my wallet" and said no cause it was for G1 fans that great they wanted a live action movie dedicated to G1 that I didn't want to watch a teenage drama story I admit the opening Cybertron scene is what I would love TF ONE to be like regardless of what design they gave them be it G1 or alien robo, but when Rise of the Beast came out I was excited to see it but everyone was trying to bar me from going to it and see Spiderman instead so I went alone and seen ROTB twice, my problem with it was the Maximals weren't center stage, and the Humans got in the way at times. I love Beast wars it aired when I was born and I always love giant animal fights so seeing the Transformers go with beast battling movies for once was fun, would I recommend it to folks no but it was the fact that they considered us Beast Wars fans for once was great. Cause each of the live action movies were homages to past TF shows Revenge of the fallen(09) was a love letter to Armada with Optimus Jetfire pack, Megatron being a tank, Sideways, Minicons, Demolisher. Age of Extinction(2014) was a love letter to Animated with Lockdown being the main villan, dinobots breathing fire, Megatrons head in a lab infecting technology, ninja autobots. The Last Knight(2017) pays tribute to TF:Prime with Nemesis Prime, Unicron being Earth, and a Dragon transformer. So as the franchise evolves further they have throw back to past incarnations so I don't mind G1, but not everyone is on board with G1 alone.
0:39 I was born in 1994 the day I saw a real transformers toy in front of me and I asked my dad for one. He looked at me and like I had just cursed him out. Why? Because transformers toys are expensive in quality, there's no way you're going to convince me that buying a $15 transformers toy matches up to the $80 toys that kids had to damn near beg their parents for what is this crap?
Transformers Prime was able to mix Adult themes and fun for kids that it is my favorite show. The characters are so good and Agent Fowler is the goat
Here's to hoping this film doesn't butcher Arcee, Elita-1 and the other fembots like idw did
I think what Transformers fans wanted was a serious origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron. What else can we expect from the studio that spits out crap like Earth Spark
War Dawn from G1 had a mucho better premise!
Personally I'm excited about the movie and change in tone begin more humorous only because I was turned off the serious tone the Michael Bay and other live action films attempted.
The cartoons and video games themselves to me are varied in terms of humor and seriousness.
Now for the toys this seems to be a trend all around. Toy are expensive as hell and the quality are pretty crappy and very easily broken.
I think these are all shit hot takes going off of one trailer and assuming it represents an entire two hour movie. SMH.
Crazy how people decide to base their final thoughts on a movie based on one trailer.
It’s not like trailers for animated movies focused mostly on humor before only for the final product to be amazing and include have a serious tone.
We’ve literally been through this with Into the Spider-verse, the Lego Movies, Puss in Boots, Rottmnt etc.
A trailer's job is to sell consumers the movie. People can say it looks bad if they want
Is it really that hard to ask for people to just have an open mind on something for once before judging to oblivion based on one piece of evidence? Literally just this morning the director said that film definitely has serious stakes despite its lightheartedness.
At least wait for trailer 2 or something.
A trailer's job is meant to set the tone of the product and sell people on the concept. If the trailer is this badly recieved, then you've either misrepresented the film and failed at marketting, or you didn't and the film is just fundamentally bad. Either scenario doesn't make me want to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially when Hasbro has butchered the franchise before.
It's like the meme of the guy astride the other guy's plate.
The guy with the plate asks "Why are you shitting on my plate?"
The other guy replies, "How do you know it's shit? It isn't out yet."
The original Transformers cartoon with the Decepticons gathering Energon Cubes and the Autobots fighting against the Decepticons to prevent them from conquering the universe was awesome!
if Bayformers had stuck with that main theme then those movies would have done better.
just when I thought maybe we could get transformers being taken seriously then they throw out discount guardians of the galaxy, complete with overused mix tape song half way through the trailer.
i had not realized that song being used is just like the mix tape in GOTG. I already thought it was like GOTG.
as a transformers fan this movie is a miss and this is also why i buy 200 dollar third party figures with real metal parts and not cheap factory made crap
Those look like mcdonalds toys they sold years ago
How do we know Hasbro is not secretly behind the Third Party Transformers toys companies?
Maybe Hasbro is doing that to charge even more money for their products?
The only problem with this theory is that the quality of those Third Party Transformers toys is too good.
Hasbro is known for low quality garbage.
Transformers 1 was good, as was Dark of the Moon. Bumblebee was fine, but nowhere near the first Transformers movie good
I fell asleep with that overrated snooze fest were that ugly girl has a crush on Bumblebee.
When TP has a better looking special than a high budget animated film
Most of your criticisms would be cured by doing some research. The director and test screening audiences and have said the movie isn't like the trailer for the whole thing, Also the toys are more expensive because of the increased price of plastic and inflation. Also the new toys are some of the best they've ever been what are you talking about. Studio Series has been great. Old toys sucked with less parts and worse posability.
Not only that but Transformers One is its own movie that is only slightly connected to the others to avoid confusion. It's still its own thing and not directly connected to the movies. The director also said this.
I don't mean to keep complaining but they keep saying dumber and dumber things. This is rendered extremely expensively and looks good. Like objectively rendered and lit well. It doesn't look like a streaming show. Also why did you say you were gonna buy the literal children's toys to feel how bad they were. (older toys had shitty cheap overpriced figures so why point out that newer ones do too?
Also I don't get what is wrong with the faces it looks like a fucking face does. Megatron actually looks great. Also after all that this movie is a Kids movie not a mature adult movie so grow up.
Also trailers have unfinished CG so even though it does look good some bits that look janky are just unfinished. Overall you guys need to get some self awareness and do research instead of browsing twitter.
Don't be fair with Hasbro about increasing costs.
Hasbro is not fair with customers when they produce things that break easily.
Hasbro's "plastic free" packaging idea for "environmental" reasons was utter a lie!
Hasbro clearly doesn't care about the environment when it produces "toys" that people will throw away within days.
How does that really "help" the environment?
Everything smelled horrible from the trailer alone. It immediatly made me say "no, thank you".
Relax man u havent even seen the movie yet😂😂

@@RoyAbinizaSure you can. You can choose to not watch and vocalize why not to support crappy lazy cashgrab content. Its a shitty movie/show's worst nightmare. Just ask the writers for Madame Web or Velma.🙃
@@ACW-dn9wb U are right but still film remember how super mario turned out in the box office😊
I've said it MANY times before - the 86 movie BOMBED because of critics. Adults reviewed a movie that they had NO CONNECTION too at all. Kids were flat out SHOCKED and CRIED during the 86 movie. It's a HARDCORE war movie - especially considering how tame the first 2 seasons were. It's damn near, and might I dare say a masterpiece. GI JOE The Movie is great too.
The trailer looked like earth spark and that show is garbage.
I really hate the Bay version of Bumblebee's face, stop making him look like that, just because he has the name doesn't mean you have to make him look like one.
I think many people are pre-judging it way too soon. The director has already confirmed that the first trailer focused on the buddy elements as well as the humor because he wants it to be welcome and inviting. However, the film is about the divergent paths that both Optimus & Megatron begin to take that eventually leads to the war and that it will get dark quickly. This is supposed to be a trilogy...this first movie is only the beginning. By the end when it's all said and done, I believe finally seeing the relationship Optimus & Meg had as friends will make the tragic turns that the war takes even more poignant.
In addition, the Transformers Bible was used to craft the film. People forget stuff like the psuedo-organic life like Turbofoxes are straight up from G1...Mirage used to hunt Turbofoxes, remember? The fact that in G1, Transformers couldn't transform and didn't have their cogs...they were oppressed by the Quintessons. This looks the same thing...the Quintessons are oppressing the Transformers and both Megs and Optimus rise up against them.
Even Megatron's D-16 identity is a callback to the Japanese naming convention as well as Marvel Comic's black helmeted early Megs. Starscream, Shockwave, and Soundwave all look bang on if you pause that throne room scene.
I'm excited and I think this will turn out way better than some of the G1 grognards are giving it. Hell, the Quintessons look badazz. I'm amped for it. People need to give it time and a couple more trailers. This is for the kids but it's also going to end up being more darker in the end. And hearing Peter Cullen's voice when he says One gave me chills!
