As cool as this was, i understand why it was cut. First off, it makes Prime look mental. Going out looking for a fight and then executing his enemy point blank. Remember, in the original movie, Prime was the one who held off from shooting Megatron and it was Megatron who executed those who couldn't fight back. If your average person who knew sweet fa about transformers, Prime would be looking pretty bad. 2. This scene is somewhat unnecessary. It doesn't tell us anything beyond giving us a cool fight, which the movie is full of. 3. Pacing. We just had a cool fight with Apelinq and Scourge. Having another right off the bat rather then spacing them out might screw up the pacing. That said, this scene is pretty cool, so i can totally understand why someone would want to keep it in.
Except optimus wasn't looking for a fight. He's been hunting down decepticons for their ships so that he and his group of stranded autobots could return back to cybertron. The complete scene has transit showing optimus a hologram of autobot soldiers being executed on cybertron which shows us, the viewers, why prime is so desperate to get back home so it's no as unnecessary as you think. I think it goes great with the Maximals scene as there's parallels. Both factions had to leave their home worlds because of a greater evil consuming it and both scenes show us what Optimus and Scourge are capable of.
Nah, I disagree with every statement u made The pacing would be perfect, after the maximal scene with Apelinq We finally know what happened to the autobots after bumblebee movie And second, no It doesnt make prime look mental Watch the scene again Prime ASKED transit to give up or ve destroyed before fighting He fighs with his bare fist to make him understand his terms Is only after he is in danger that he draws his blade and finishes him And even then he tells him "last chance" Bruh
Hey, you gotta give it to Transit though. He stayed committed to his disguise for presumably a while, even being driven by a human and letting it happen without killing him immediately.

Not really because if you look at the bumblebee movie and how the transmission was stopped transit even being on earth wouldn't make sense which is why it was deleted

Thats what I love of this scene. 1st. Sets up Optimus' arc, it may be "violent", but he did gave transit more than one chance to surrender. Wouldve been sick if Transit said: "All hail Mega-" and then Optimus shot him 2nd. Shows how powerful Optimus is even compared with bots of his size.
Even if this is now a deleted scene, it puts the whole ROTB movie in a different perspective. It really explains something I had not understood when watching it. Optimus killing Decepticons is just a hazard of his role as Autobot leader. Parts of this scene look unfinished and improperly rendered. It still explains way more than deleting it ever would have. I always have wondered why Optimus didn't get full transformation effects in the movie when he was on his way to rendezvous with the other Autobots. Thank you very much for posting this!
Yeah, and if you're only watching the film for entertainment, meaning you don't know anything and just want to watch a fun film, they probably wouldn't like Optimus' character for being all salty and moody all the time. But it would be worst if he didn't develop well at the end of the movie which thank goodness he did.

@@sowplayz8752 they should have left it in. sets the tone nicely for Optimus that the war had changed him into a more grittier leader who does what needs to be done.
This is why im likening these new decepticons and autobot vehicle mode designs, with the bay films almost every autobot/decepticons vehicle modes are really expensive Sports/muscle Cars or military/police vehicles but with these new movies they aren’t afraid to make a decepticon a city transit bus or a Volkswagen van.
60% were still sports vehicle mode... Porsche, Nissan Skyline gtr, Chevy Camaro, Ducati 916 (114hp which is a lot for a bike) so there is no big difference between back then and now
Hmm pretty sure bubble bee camoro old car is literally same one he use in 2007 till an upgrade also deception xhoicong military or proper disguise to get to strick places make sense.
@@JallguarthedestronIt’s a series about war. They need to stop thinking about the kids. Characters like Tarn have done unspeakable actions in the TF lore
@@JallguarthedestronI would've loved to see that! Gives better perspective on the time (7 years) that they've been there. Who's came for them and how many they've killed
Its not even fucking violent, im sure audience who screen tested this movie for some reason (instead producers themselves) proves that this trash kid audience who were there are just kids and disgusting LGBTQ supporters or whatever who thought this scene is dark, get the fuck out to disney if you dont like normal scenes like that, this opening scene is far more better, in matter of fact, at least we would see at least 1 decepticon, and honestly i prefer decepticon vs autobots instead terrorcons or freaking unicron minions
Its kinda nice how even a few obscure characters were almost given a spotlight. Even if Transit didn't make it into the final cut of the film, he was still considered. Not sure if I would call Nightbird an obscure character, but they gave her big screen treatment which was also nice.
I would've added this to the calling all autobots scene instead of deleting it. That whole fight happens, and when Elaina lights the beacon from the traswarp key prime, he sees the beacon after killing Transit, Optimus says, "calling all autobots" and then everything else happens.
they alr did with prime, bee, and even primal (scourge is coming too) so why not this? ngl tho i was expecting a train bot based on his name, but then that'd ruin astrotrain's potential cameo in an upcoming film
Everyone is giving Transit credit for lasting as long as he did, but no one is giving him credit for destroying his own ship to keep Optimus from leaving earth.
I love this reboot. It shows that you win some you lose some. You take a hit and then you hit them back. Even tho Optimus is really powerful, he's not invincible. This gives us balance. Just wished they included this in the movie so we could've seen this fight on the big screen.
@@cyberextreme86 Why apelinq commander?? And stratosphere supreme class??? Stratosphere need a commander class And apelinq a voyager class, because he is same as optimus primal without transwarp key
Narratively and tonally speaking, yeah, this scene definitively had to be cut. Having Optimus kill Transit right out of the gate with no build up to his character would paint him as bloodthirsty. The pacing of the final version of the film does a good job of painting Optimus’s character. Bit by bit, scene by scene, the audience gets to slowly understand why Optimus is so on edge. He just wants to go back to Cybertron, and so many events just prevent that from becoming a reality.
also don't forget that originally Optimus took Transit'S body and throw it into river under bridge. When his body fell to the bottom it shows many decepticon bodies that Optimus threw there.
I like this scene not because of the fight, which is cool and all, but the exposition is honestly really important and would have made the movie way easier to follow.
I think this scene could've worked well in the movie if Transit had talked a bit about how Optimus failed and now his hiding on this barren rock after waging a war and letting thousands die. Would've added to his guilt and how he felt in the movie and made it a bit less brutal.
Dude I can't get over this sence. Just SOOO clean and waits to say hunter and with the thunderstorm. 😊 Just the vibe is there they really did a good job with the cut scene.
I was expecting to see the hologram and the dead Decepticons in the river. Hopefully, we see that in the Blu-Ray because I did hear this scene was finished. Looking forward to the release.
I like how this movie introduces Optimus. He’s more desperate than he should be, but he’s still not above negotiating peace when he can with a Decepticon. He’s just frustrated
I get why they deleted this scene, it just makes optimus more somewhat scary and he just seems so mental and scary, and he just seems like he Woudn't care if someone died.
Fun Fact: They removed this because: 1: They thought that Optimus’ character was too inappropriate and 2: After the fight, Optimus would be seen dragging Transit’s body into the Hudson River, where we would see other Decepticon bodies. They thought that it would be inappropriate so they cut it from the movie.
as much as I agree with another comment's remark about it being a little too "murder crazy optimus" and that it was understandable that they cut it from Rise of the Beasts, I've gotta say it somewhere- this makes me wish we just got another film following the autobot and decepticon conflict as it progressed in the strenuous circumstance of being trapped on earth and out of touch with the other autobots. Rise of the Beasts feels like they just skipped straight to all the gimmicks with Unicron and the beast wars characters, big flashy things to get people's attention. I would love a far more grounded "freedom fighter struggling for their people" film from this franchise.
Bruh litteraly shatter drokick and blitzwing go to earth to find autobot,it deleted because the early screening audience found it dark and the director cut it.
i never even knew we had this beauty of a deleted scene, it was really well made and clearly was already in production to be put in the movie until it was scrapped. it wouldve been cool to see it in the movie but i feel like they were mixing the bayverse prime with the G1 live action prime and even tho i love them both i love them as two seperate primes, not mixed into one. this wouldve just made rotb prime the war criminal prime from the bayverse. this was really well executed though and im glad we got it as a deleted scene
This scene gave much nicer context to Optimus’ motive of harm. The only context we get to the more of the self defense route in the movie is Elena’s analogy of seeing him like a big brother protecting his own. But on the forefront Prime once again looks like a cold blooded killer. This scene verbatim both tells AND shows he’s not just some cuckoo PTSD war veteran.
I wish this was in the movie. It shows Optimus' lost state of mind and explains why he is the way he is throughout the film. And for him to accept dying on the planet at the end would have been a more powerful statement because it's clearly what he was afraid of. Without this scene, neither Optimus as a character or the movie as a whole really works. This movie had its moments but it was ultimately not much of anything at all to watch.
props to transit for atleast letting the innocent rider off first. the war should only be between cybertronians, should be little to no collateral involving smaller more fraigle life forms like us
Even if this is a deleted scene, i kinda hope it means the decepticon main forces will show up soon, i need more of that soundwave, shockwave and starscream design, also cant wait to see megatron
bro they even acknowledge the time skip and the lore better and it makes the autobots introduction make more sense, the movie we got felt so spliced together and messy also this was a way better opening then what we did get
Optimus/Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus prime, leader of the autobots...Or what is left of them." "Seven years ago, we fled Cybertron as it fell to the decepticons." "Our enemies followed us, and in search of safety, I led as many as I could here...earth." "now we live in hiding, disguised. Knowing if we are exposed. The people of this world will seek to capture and destroy the last of the Autobots." "We cannot stay trapped on this planet any longer. So to find a way home. I have turned from prey... to hunter."
That makes an continuty error, in the Bumblebee Movie, Charlie and Bee avoids Shatter and Dropkick to send a distress signal to the Cons', meaning that neither Megatron knows of it.
So this was actually for real? This is the scene we needed honestly! Cuz we were wondering why he was a little bit upset and had regrets taking them to earth. By the way I think this would be the first bus transformer that I have experienced. I should also point out this is Optimus keeping that bayverse feel to him in this scene. I mean that line when he says "I have turned from prey to hunter" SHEEEEEEEEESH that sent chills down my spine. That's the bayverse Optimus I remember!
The film is a "Cybertronian Hero's Journey". This scene would fit perfectly into the evolution of Optimus's heroic morale from a warrior leader troubled by exile and the loss of friends to Optimus Prime as we know it.

@@Tarn7866 Maybe we'll eventually get an extended version of this in the Blu Ray
It's just a clip guys many things has been cut
Given the past live-action films, Prime going "mental" is surprisingly in character...
How come anybody not notice what Transit sounded like he said at 2:23
😅😳
New version of Michael Bay, Optimus prime
Warcrime Prime killing another Decepticon, I see.
"War crime Prime" 😂😂
The deceptions didn't nothing wrong. They just wants to spread communist there no wrong doing.
It was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Down to its last minute details.
Bro Optimus looks like a killer 😅😅
This is a great fight scene and an awesome movie.
I get why they deleted this scene, it just makes optimus more somewhat scary and he just seems so mental and scary, and he just seems like he Woudn't care if someone died.
0:31 I just realized that there is a Forrest Gump movie poster on the right side of Transit.
Fun Fact: They removed this because: 1: They thought that Optimus’ character was too inappropriate and 2: After the fight, Optimus would be seen dragging Transit’s body into the Hudson River, where we would see other Decepticon bodies. They thought that it would be inappropriate so they cut it from the movie.
Is it just me or didn’t it seem that Transit here was just chilling until Optimus came along looking for him.
This was “darker” than the opening of Scourge killing Apeling. Makes sense
I wonder why it was cut
It isn't that brutal than optimus and optimus crippling battletrap and then smashing him
Because optimus dumped transit to the Hudson River and you’ll see a lot of dead decepticon body
@@kaivensurtijo1577 oh I am sure that wouldn't be bloody, but
I was waiting for Optimus to say "So will you." That would have been so cool and on-brand for movie optimus.
as much as I agree with another comment's remark about it being a little too "murder crazy optimus" and that it was understandable that they cut it from Rise of the Beasts, I've gotta say it somewhere- this makes me wish we just got another film following the autobot and decepticon conflict as it progressed in the strenuous circumstance of being trapped on earth and out of touch with the other autobots. Rise of the Beasts feels like they just skipped straight to all the gimmicks with Unicron and the beast wars characters, big flashy things to get people's attention. I would love a far more grounded "freedom fighter struggling for their people" film from this franchise.
This explains why he was so weak against the other in the museum fight, my mans was just tired and underestimated the other guy.
Just hoping we get the complete version from the Blu-Ray
Why was this deleted?! BEST robot fight scene there.
I think it’s because the decepticons weren’t supposed to know that the autobots were in earth
Bruh litteraly shatter drokick and blitzwing go to earth to find autobot,it deleted because the early screening audience found it dark and the director cut it.
They shouldn't have deleted it. Instead, keep the intro we got in the end but use this as the introduction for optimus afterwards
Poor Transit, just wanted to have a nice rest after a hard day's work 😢
i never even knew we had this beauty of a deleted scene, it was really well made and clearly was already in production to be put in the movie until it was scrapped. it wouldve been cool to see it in the movie but i feel like they were mixing the bayverse prime with the G1 live action prime and even tho i love them both i love them as two seperate primes, not mixed into one. this wouldve just made rotb prime the war criminal prime from the bayverse. this was really well executed though and im glad we got it as a deleted scene
2:52-3:00
coldest moment in the whole scene, wish it made it into the film somehow maybe with a different enemy or something
This scene gave much nicer context to Optimus’ motive of harm. The only context we get to the more of the self defense route in the movie is Elena’s analogy of seeing him like a big brother protecting his own. But on the forefront Prime once again looks like a cold blooded killer. This scene verbatim both tells AND shows he’s not just some cuckoo PTSD war veteran.
I wish this was in the movie. It shows Optimus' lost state of mind and explains why he is the way he is throughout the film. And for him to accept dying on the planet at the end would have been a more powerful statement because it's clearly what he was afraid of. Without this scene, neither Optimus as a character or the movie as a whole really works. This movie had its moments but it was ultimately not much of anything at all to watch.
I'd bet Michael Bay suggested this scene😂
I'd give anything to see a solo Optimus movie in the 7 years between the fall of Cybertron to the regrouping of the Autobots
Our first bus transformers and it got cancelled
props to transit for atleast letting the innocent rider off first. the war should only be between cybertronians, should be little to no collateral involving smaller more fraigle life forms like us
Wow totally understand why it was cut off.
Glad it was.
Giving me bayverse prime vib3
Do you know what I realized? I can’t think of any transformers that turn into a bus. That feels like a no-brainer.
Megatron and the Other Decepticons are probably still on Cybertron.
Even if this is a deleted scene, i kinda hope it means the decepticon main forces will show up soon, i need more of that soundwave, shockwave and starscream design, also cant wait to see megatron
That was awesome!
I love how Transit had posters of Forrest Gump and Beverly Hills Cop 2 on the sides of his vehicle mode.
i mean it is set in the 90s so good work on the cgi crew for that part
bro they even acknowledge
the time skip and the lore better and it makes the autobots introduction make more sense, the movie we got felt so spliced together and messy also this was a way better opening then what we did get
Bro said he won’t destroy him…
If he gave him the information he wanted, which he didn’t.
The fact that we didn’t get transit officially is a crime
0:32 Twin Towers in the distance.
Optimus/Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus prime, leader of the autobots...Or what is left of them." "Seven years ago, we fled Cybertron as it fell to the decepticons." "Our enemies followed us, and in search of safety, I led as many as I could here...earth." "now we live in hiding, disguised. Knowing if we are exposed. The people of this world will seek to capture and destroy the last of the Autobots." "We cannot stay trapped on this planet any longer. So to find a way home. I have turned from prey... to hunter."
Badass Optimus fight:❌
Half an hour backstory for human characters nobody cares about: ✅
What are they even thinking?
That makes an continuty error, in the Bumblebee Movie, Charlie and Bee avoids Shatter and Dropkick to send a distress signal to the Cons', meaning that neither Megatron knows of it.
The scene was too cold to make it to the movie, just shows how good this is
Thank you so much🙏🙏 for giving the video straight up rather speaking blah blah blah like other useless youtubers
We need to see Transit’s character rig in a future movie!
Best scene in the film.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it's not even, you know, IN the film.
I wish we had this and the current beginning of the movie
So this was actually for real? This is the scene we needed honestly! Cuz we were wondering why he was a little bit upset and had regrets taking them to earth. By the way I think this would be the first bus transformer that I have experienced. I should also point out this is Optimus keeping that bayverse feel to him in this scene. I mean that line when he says "I have turned from prey to hunter" SHEEEEEEEEESH that sent chills down my spine. That's the bayverse Optimus I remember!
So Decepticons WERE going to be in this film? Wow! But why did they cut it!?
According to test audiences it was too brutal.
lol like how he was insulting optimist whilst he was dyeing😂
For a deleted scene, you can see the cgi animation still in process, and some of the bits looked finished.
We need a fight between transit and bonecrusher that whoukd be a fight for the ages
The film is a "Cybertronian Hero's Journey". This scene would fit perfectly into the evolution of Optimus's heroic morale from a warrior leader troubled by exile and the loss of friends to Optimus Prime as we know it.
bro this is more like nemesis prime! n m loving it
This should have been put after the prologue of Unicron devouring the planet of the Maximals.
