There once was a series about robots that turned into stuff. The series itself would perform the biggest transformation of all. Into a horrific abomination spanning five movies.

But before that happened, there was a single movie. A single dream. A single spark of actual integrity. The one and only decent Micheal Bay Transformer movie. Transformers 2007. I'm not going to simply make fun of this movie. I want to understand it. How did it come to this.

    I stared into the abyss and the abyss replied with Linkin Park's 'What I've Done'
  • @cz-pf8id
    The reason why none of the Transformers simply bought the glasses was because they couldn't get past CAPTCHA
  • @Roman-yg2qc
    Say what you want, but all of the CGI in every Bay Transformers film is mind blowing. The Battle of Chicago is like a vision of a 1930s Italian futurist.

    The series might just get worse from here on out, but something about the idea of Optimus Prime wielding Excalibur while riding a gigantic metal dragon and leading a siege on a flying alien fortress will never not sound like a stupidly amazing idea.
  • @davidb8656
    For all its faults, we can all agree that the scene of Blackout transforming and wiping out a military base was one of the most badass things we’d ever seen
  • @THATGuy5654
    The whole, "steal Earth's energy" thing... If this space faring race had realized that they could just set up solar panels around a star, It would have blown their Primus-damned minds.
  • @spookd8700
    You nailed the feeling of seeing a transformer on the big screen for the first time. When everyone started shooting, and it did nothing, and this chopper is turning into a death machine, I lost it.
  • @revverb7459
    Obligatory note that the whole "Energon is booze" thing was one specific case of energon being made out of something unusual. Normally it is just regular fuel, like water to them.
  • @WyattoonsComics
    While I agree with the criticism that the Bayformers designs are hard to look at sometimes, I do appreciate that they have a wide variety of basic shapes and silhouettes. They don’t all share the same basic block robot body like the original cartoons.

    As a kid who never knew transformers existed until i saw the first movie, The Raid on the Airbase with Blackout LITERALLY gave me the strength to watch all the films to find that same vibe
  • @Stormfin
    The Battle for Mission City was the first time in like twenty years that someone panicked at Starscream's entrance and it was completely justified.
  • @TimeyWimey.
    This movie really works as a standalone if you ignore the other 4 completely, mostly because it feels so disconnected from the rest of them.
  • @peteranderson037
    "I feel like a fucking fruit cake saying that, Mike." Probably the most honest thing that Shia LaBeouf has ever said.
  • @ischwhit6747
    Can we all agree that that 2007 CGI still holds up to this day?
  • @patrickk6331
    That scene when they call in the A-10's to provide air support is to me is one of the best modern military reaction scenes ever made.
  • Transformers in 2007: what a mindless soulless corporate cash grab. Transformers now: Whoa, they crashed a REAL car and it made a REAL explosion with REAL fire?
  • @F4stHeroes
    I’ll never forget being 10 years old going to the theater and watching Blackout just rip through that military base and being in absolute awe. I had never seen special effects like that or experienced anything like it before.
  • @LightningZetton
    I loved the Transformers movies at least they didn't do the whole "Character's toy has been discontinued = kill off the characters" which kinda seems soulless
  • @rydermccall3590
    14:35 I like the idea that Autobots drove civilian/sports cars while Decepticans were all war /authority type.
  • @evelynsahoe8896
    Glad to see someone bring that up about Bay films, the effects were done practically if possible and he has a great record of safety on set even though many of the stunts are dangerous. For as bad as he is and was at writing and comedy he's as good at practical effects and filming action scenes. Idk why he hasn't just been brought on sets for action and have another director for plot and writing.
