    Almost everything in these videos is stuff I've researched on TFwiki, but your personal charisma and concise story-telling still make these a joy to watch. Not to mention that now I have something to point my friends to instead of just rambling about what I've learned over the years.

      Thank you! That's the aim! :) As Transformers has grown and gotten more complicated, even resources like TFWiki can struggle to keep up, especially when they've got to split everything up by continuity and write in-universe. Not that I think that's the wrong way to do it, or anything, but simply and linearly explaining everything has its place too, especially for new fans, and the desire to do that was what inspired me to start this series!

    My preferred origin story is Primus created the Quintessons first, who then harnessed a piece of his power to make the Transformers, then the revolution happened and Primus was okay with the Quintessons being banished because they had abused their power.

      It is nowadays almost universally accepted that neither Primacron or Quintessons didn't created Cybertonians. In both cases they find halves of Unicron drifting in the space and attempts to repair. Quintessons who I remind are alien cyborgs turn Primus into factory, using hacking device Vector Sigma to harvest Sparks and embodied them into mass produced vehicons. Who then start gradually gaining consciousness, subconsciously reorganizing they bodies. Quintessons believed that it is a programing bug and attempt to destroy faulty units, but failed to make connection with the subtle influence of the Spark, considered by them as only power generator. In the end during Alpha Trion Rebellion, they were kicked out from the planet and they destroy most outside nods of the Vector Sigma. Not having known of most of they past new Cybertronian government start making same mistakes, until true hair of the Primus take the role of Prime.

    I know this is total fanwank, but I always thought it would be fun if Primus had indeed created the Quintessons in an attempt at creating purely "logical" life that went horribly wrong. While the Quintessons *clearly* display a lot of emotions, all seem to be the "negative" emotions that are, frankly, based on logical desires.

    I actually prefer the primus and unicron creation story, it shows that the likes of metal and electricity can have a complex and human-like evolution only more complicated.
    Adding in with the all spark and individuality with many transformers, it gives a sense that even machines have a soul and give a very interesting narrative for their origin.
    The quintasons, I actually like the idea of them being unicron's creations, bastardized versions of his brother's creations that torture and mess with cybertroinans.

    I had a theory on how the Chaos-Bringer Unicron could be connected to the Primacron-created Unicron. Basically, before the Shrouding event in the TF Collectors Club, Unicron could go from universe to universe. In my theory, however, for whatever reason, he couldn't project his corporeal form into the G1 Cartoon universe, only incorporeally observe and influence. Then, he found the alien scientist Primacron and planted the idea for creating the Big U's body in Primacron's head. After that, when the project was completed, Unicron took possession of the manufactured body and went on his usual rampage. How's that?

      Actually, the nature of multiversal singularities like unicron and the primes, prior to singularities being de-cenonised, was that each origin story was simply a byproduct of entities within the multiverse manifesting within a particular universe.
      Basically, the singularities were an external force to each universe, and as they enter each universe, the universe in question engineers a series of events to explain them. It's a little hard to visualize, but picture if you will that the presence of a singularity is a hand entering a puddle, whose water is time. As more of the singularity enters, a chronology of how it got there develops, but the specific chronology is different from puddle to puddle, depending on the puddle, the universe's, contents. That's basically the bullshit excuse that was used to explain why writers didn't have to research eachother's stories when they wrote about primes and gods, before all the singularities were rendered no longer singular.

    I really enjoy your videos. In Isolation, my G1 cartoon theory is that the Quintessons gave Cybertronians intelligence but Vector Sigma (who I think of as a reclusive Primus) gave the Cybertronians emotions, which allowed the Cybertronians the ability to banish the Quintessons.
    In season 3, the Quintessons aided the Decepticons by assisting them with Trypticon and Predacons (however the used animal DNA to give those transformers personalties). I would be interested in feedback on this theory.

    Using the info in this video I’ve cobbled together my own origin story
    . Quintessa and Primacron are both quintessons (maybe solve that inconsistency but making them look like a weird ass hybrid of humanoid squid and humanoid dog)
    . The creators created Primus and Unicron then they felt lazy and decided to create various devices to streamline the process then they got even lazier and decided to upgrade their machines with the ability to create more machines through processes like budding, sexual reproduction, cloning, construction,
    . They created some robots and together said robots overthrew the creators, however most died and the 5 new robots that remained were called the guiding hand
    . Unicron went bad which led Primus and his guiding hand to create the 13 original primes
    . They sealed unicron away using the matrix of leadership and Primus is nicknamed “the one” for obvious reasons
    . Generations go by and the quintesson race overtakes cybertron which leads to another rebellion
    . Then we get the various wars between autobot and decepticon

    excellent video thank you! I'd love a video going in depth discussing the Guardian Knights/Knights if iacon introduced in TF5. I really loved the Knights but have so many questions of them, Quintessa created 12 Knights, so prior to their meetings, how was Prime a Knight? if all 12 Knights were on the ship found on Earth, what did Lockdown mean in AOE when he said he captured all the Knight's? TF5 directly contradicts that. be great to learn about the Knights of other TF lore also

      Almost like it don't make no sense at all, ain't it? :\ Joking aside, I presume the Knights from TF5 are like Quintessa's "personal guard" or somesuch, and that other knights - of which Optimus and the Dinobots were part - also exist.

    • @diisis
      @diisis 7 лет назад +1

      Chris McFeely quite possibly but in AOE the Dino boys were never explicitly stated as being Knights, they were only referenced as Legendary Warriors and many assumed these "captured knights" were the Dinobots, seeing as they did all have a knightly motif but nonetheless there isn't any concrete evidence I've seen to suggest they are knights. The movie universe is quite interesting indeed.

    • @ChrisMcFeely
      @ChrisMcFeely  7 лет назад +4

      Well, there's a sliver of wiggle-room if they want to go back and reconcile it, but Lockdown taking Optimus to a room full of prisoners who have knight motifs in their design and telling him about how he's captured all the knights, thinking that the prisoners are the knights is just 2+2=4, y'know?

    Ok. So, I’m going to dig into this more. A simple solution just popped into my head in all of this. Thanks for your summary!

      We still don't know, what will be the plot of "Rise of the Beasts" about. Perhaps they would continue to tell the story of their origin, or perhaps telling us a new one. But it's still too soon to judge, when the movie isn't out yet.

    Man, I really dislike the attempts to overwrite the Quints with Primus. Isn't "they turned on their masters" enough without making them super-divine servants that were created to save the universe?
    Also, I find it funny how Animated's creators went on to say that "yeah, nah, fuck multiversal singularities, Primus ain't a thing here."

    One thing I've noticed is that in Beast Machines, Optimus Primal says to Nightscream "...the Matrix, the spark that shares its light with us all." Of course it would've been better if he said 'Allspark' instead of 'Spark', but hey it still works, the Matrix does share its light as the 'Allspark'. This happened at the end of Transformers Prime when Optimus Prime merged the Allspark with the Matrix. Does anyone else think that this links the Beast Wars into the Aligned continuity since in the Beast Era the Spark (or Allspark) and the Matrix are the same thing?

    My theory is that in the Film verse the Transformer or Prime origin is akin to Gobots. Gobots went from a organic race to a cybernetic one. The hand of the Creators is an organic version of the Ancient Transformers and Seven Primes. Quintessa calls herself a creator, a goddess and a Prime. Sentinel Prime told Optimus they were gods. Why? Because their direct ancestors facilitated the creation of Cybertronians. What about the Unicron connection? Optimus said they do not know where the Allspark came from. We know the Allspark sought the Matrix as a new vessel. As if they were once part of the same whole. The Allspark, the Matrix and the Staff of Life may be the TF film verse version of the Infinity Stones as they ancient powerful relics that ends up on the same planet as if attracted to each other.

    -Thirteen Primes defeat Unicron, who becomes Earth

    -Optimus Prime becomes Orion Pax and is reborn on Cybertron with many other new Transformers
    -After a couple of big wars, Orion Pax’s memories are restored and he becomes Optimus Prime again
    -Optimus brings the Transformers to Earth
    -Humans and Transformers coexist, begin to augment each other
    -Cybertron-augmented humans start another war which engulfs the entire universe
    -Only two warriors, named Primus and Unicron remain, who travel to a different universe

    Here is my origin story. A being from another dimension called the Maker created a transforming giant robot called Primacron to mold the young universe however he saw fit but Primacron's opposing powers of Creation and Destruction resulted in him splitting into the Creator, Primus and the Destroyer, Unicron. Primus created the 13 Primes who were able to trap Unicron in Stasis Lock. Primus then entered stasis himself becoming the planet Cybertron after gifting the Primes the Matrix, the AllSpark, and Vector Sigma. The Primes then journeyed the universe sustaining themselves using Energon Harvesters until the Fallen tried to destroy Earth. Meanwhile Cybertron was inhabited by animal like transformers called Maximals and Predacons until it was invaded by the Quintessons, squid-like aliens who had been gifted technology by Quintess Prime. Led by Alpha Q the Quintessons wiped out the majority of the Maximals and Predacons and began mass producing Cybertronians as servants until the Primes returned and fended them off, Which started the Golden Age. Eventually however the Primes fell out with one another and the Fallen's experiments with Dark Energon resulted in the death of Solus Prime and the reactivation of Unicron. Numerous new Primes tried to succeed the originals including the Tyrannical Nova Prime and the imperialistic Sentinel Prime. Eventually one of Sentinel's potential successors, Megatron rose up with the Decepticons to try and conquer Cybertron for himself, Sentinel passed the Matrix onto his other protoge Orion Pax rebirthing him as Optimus Prime and the rest is history

    personally i like the primus origin and that the quintessons were just interlopers. i do however with that hasbro would do a better job the aligned continuity was anything but, it had more plot holes and issue than i want to think about mainly because they tried to tie all these things together that didn't fit or the screwed up later, take the transformers cybertron games, none of that makes sense and the characters look nothing like they do in primes and the same for rid some do look correct in flash backs and such but others there are clear errors everywhere, the novels don't fit in anywhere all you can say is their loosely based on the previous entry nothing more. Id like it if they planned these things out more and had a unified plan, and its the same for many media, come up with the beginning and the origin, plan some of the big plot twits and events and have an end game set for the very end some were down the road, you can add stuff in between these things but you have a map and out line of what you can do for example if events you plan out say these characters must absolutely be there then you CAN'0T KILL THEM. stuff like that and you tell your writers this.
    The problem is that frequently they just add what they think will work next instead of planning something out for long term. Personally i kinda want to see what we will get with cyberverse season 2, i wasn't totally onboard with the first season but it had good parts and i will give it a chance. But the toy line just not good enough for me i prefer more complex transformers, unless is an older one that part of a set im already working id more likely give it a miss.

      It was touched on in Ancillary media to the movies; but it was a dumb explanation- it more or less stated that every piece of technology from about the 1920's/1930's onwards had been reverse-engineered from Megatron's body by Sector 7, so it was pre-programmed to be a 'con.
      Yes, even technologies that had been created in other countries were somehow created from Megatron, it claimed
