  • this original story of transformers for me was and be the most kick ass story , and you cant mass aroud with that

  • Was there ever a point where Rodimus speaks to a disembodied face in the Matrix? For some reason I remember him talking to some sort of being that was ancient and looked like he was just an outline.

  • @AbyssalZones In "The Return of Optimus Prime", Optimus Prime spoke to a wire-frame head when he went into the Matrix in order to find a cure for the Hate Plague. The full episode is in my channel.

  • @AeonMagnus Thanks I knew it was from somewhere. it would have probably driven me crazy.

  • "we turned to stealth, and invented the art of transforming" *completely ram into the decepticon, not stealth like at all* LOL

  • I always believed that Primus accidentally killed the organic life he crashed into after his battle with Unicron and reformed it into Cybertron. Rather than just be a Transformer like Unicron, he created the original 13 to begin to repopulate the planet. After one became the Fallen, the Quints took over the original 12 and mass produced them accordingly. It fits if you allow it since Hasbro's official canon says there are constants in the multiverse of Transformers.

  • The Allspark-Primus-Quintisons stories work if you say Primus took up residence on an organic planet, and then transfered his life essence and knowledge to the All-Spark, and created the orginal thirteen transformers/dynasty of primes to protect it, the Quintisons arrived after the Fallen had been defeated, and turned Cybertron into a factory, using the All-Spark's power to create their two product lines, who inturn rebelled and started the Cybertronian Civil Wars for control of the All-Spark

  • This is what's going to happen to us humans in 1,000 years.

  • As far as the Constructicons go, this kind of conflicts with Omega Supreme's tale, but one thing is certain, Megatron is responsible for them joining the ranks of the decepticons and creating Devastator.

  • This may very well have been the least creative and worst animated episode of T.F. ever!

  • I think the robots talking to Rodimus are the past Prime's, Autobots who have joined with the matrix when they died. Kinda similar to the Avatar cycle from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

  • so, does this not load for anyone else?

  • 2:45 So..... "Pre-Constructicons"?

  • this is way moar different than what it says in the war for cybertron game

  • @ihategobots7 pretty much because that happened millions of years ago, while the game centers on what they were doing before they left Cybertron

  • HOW THE HELL DOES THE CONSTRUCTICONS MADE MEGATRON?!

  • @jackrabbit112 I know! In the Episode 'Heavy metal war' Megatron even states that he made the constructacons on earth.

  • @adamwuk

    But, it still doesn't make sense. Did the producers even remember the canon?

  • @jackrabbit112 That was part of the problem. IIRC, originally, the Constructicons had no back story. The guy that wrote "The Secret of Omega Supreme" gave them one, not realizing that one was kind of given to them. Although since it was basically a throw away line(after all, Megs claimed he built them on Earth, it could be claimed that he built them the same way Starscream built the Combaticons on Earth, namely giving them new bodies), it made for an easy retcon.

  • @ClarkeMarek As for the Constructicons building Megatron, well, I tend to chalk it up to an animation error, but YMMV. If nothing else, they where probably just generic Decepticons; after all, look how many of the Seekers there where. I mean, if these guys where massed produced, there's no telling how many Autobots/Decepticons there are that look like the Constructicons.

  • 1:30 brutal!

  • I always hated this explanation of the Transformers origin as a species, it's just not as epic as the transformers themselves, y'know?

  • So which one is Prima, Prime Nova and the Thirteen? I guess Sentinel Prime was a rhino-like thing? There are alot of hot rod/Primus look-likes back in the day. I wonder why Rodimus has Primus' face in the later series when his counterparts didn't do much.

    This origin story clashes with other the stories about God-like Transformers or Organic Planets. At lease in the movies the Transformers didn't know their origin and all they know it is Allspark which is another version of the Matrix.

  • Most likely none of them. They're just Cybertronians throughout the years, rather than necessarily being the 13. We can't assume any of these robots or events (transforming, holding the Matrix, etc) are firsts.

    What's funny is that there was a Japanese gold redeco of the G1 Rodimus Prime toy as Primus.

    The story works if you allow that Primus took up residence in the organic planetoid that would become Cybertron, then the Quintessons came along and set up shop on it.

  • "What's funny is that there was a Japanese gold redeco of the G1 Rodimus Prime toy as Primus."

    That's only because the physical body of Primus, as portrayed in the original comic, was based on Rodimus' body.

  • @AeonMagnus Me and my big mouth, turns out they been recently retcon into the people I mention.

    0:58 Powerglidimus Prime?

  • @DarkknightChris

    Since the movies came out most of the cartoons have favored using the Allspark concept as the Transformers orgin, and like in the movies the transformers don't know where it came from or who created it.

    As for being another verson of the Matrix, it's not all the Transformers know about it is that it has the power to create life as well as stores the knowledge of cybertron's past, so you can argue the Allspark is Primus' life force

  • It proves how important Optimus Prime was, soon after he dies the Quintassons strike. They used him for their evil plans, and the Decepticonns were desperate to prevent his revival.

  • isnt that hot rod

  • Nope. It's a character known as "Pre-Transformer", based obviously on a modified and simplified version of Rodimus Prime's animation model.

  • Allspark...

  • so autobots were consumer goods.. lol

  • what is this season???  answer in this comment pls

  • It's definately season 3. I think it's the first episode of the season. First or second.

  • o, thanks =) пасиба

  • @bibleandbandana Part 2 actually of the 5-parter.

  • 3.......

  • its seems to me that the Matrix could pass for the AllSpark from the Baye Movie and I remember from Beast Wars that it was the Oracle computer that had taught the robots to transform

  • beast wars is after all the other transformers that megatron is a fake he just took the old megatrons name :they came from the future and went into the past before the original optimus prime :they had their war in the past then went back to the future then beast machines then it ended with cybertron being re sparked with organics

  • What is the name of this episode?

    I want to see the full thing.

  • Actually the matrix didn't choose, it was prime. Prime chose wisely to pass it on to Ultra Magnus. But before ultra could get it, it accidentally slips from prime's hand and starts to fall. Unfortunately Hot Rod grabbed it first, so the matrix automatically thought hot rod was prime's choice, however prime fore told of an autobot that would light their darkest hour.Hmmmmm the mystery continues....

  • vector sigma gave them all life

  • I used to love the Transformers G1 series when I was growing up. But Yes, I do agree, they should have stayed whith the concept of Vector Sigma. Unless, Vector Sigma created Cybertron and the Quentessans or they (the Quents) came to Cybertron to further build more robots. I think that the creators of Transformers G! series 4&5 initially wanted to add more variety and the concept of space fighting involving the Transformers. This was also the era of Star Wars and Star Treck.

  • The whole Cybertron/Vector Sigma/Quintessons thing depends on the continuity - G1 animated, Japanese or various comic books.

    As far as the G1 series goes, nobody expected Transformers would have the longevity it's turned out to. The series was also rushed into production to take advantage of looser rules re:"toy commercials as TV shows", before the FCC could change their mind. So, the thought put into the underlying origin story for Cybertron and the TF species in general was kinda minimal.

  • I thought this "origin" was awful. Why couldn't they keep the original concept. All was created by the supercomputer Vector Sigma. "Before Cybertron Was. I was." quoted from The Key To Vector Sigma episode.

  • Rodimus sucks as Leader. A hot-headed reckless punk robot was The Matrix's choice as successor? I'll go with Prime's choice Ultra Magnus. But Springer getting the launcher in place & we can't wait they'll have to take care of themselves in '86 movie showed he had Leadership Material. His head is always on the game & logical. I'd have Springer as 2nd in command!

  • Actually the matrix didn't choose, it was prime. Prime chose wisely to pass it on to Ultra Magnus. But before ultra could get it, it accidentally slips from prime's hand and starts to fall. Unfortunately Hot Rod grabbed it first, so the matrix automatically thought hot rod was prime's choice, however prime fore told of an autobot that would light their darkest hour.Hmmmmm the mystery continues....

  • I've heard that before but have yet to see anything to back it up. We're talking about an artifact older than anyone can recall, imbued with the accumulated wisdom of the Autobots, and you're basically saying it comes down to "luck" - whoever grabs it first. That's problematic (eg: Alpha Trion is shown being passed the Matrix without becoming leader) but more importantly, unlike Optimus' disembodied voice at the end, it's anti-supernatural.

  • And it ignores Optimus' speech about "one day an Autobot shall rise from our ranks".

    Let me put it another way: you're correct, Optimus chose Magnus, it was going to be him, the Matrix was all ready for him, he'll lead them into the future, Magnus is The Man. Some nobody kid accidentally touches the Matrix enroute to Magnus and the it instantly changes its mind, like a big glowy bimbo air-head. Great Magnus destiny gone, let's go with some random kid who may well march us all into a black hole.

  • I didn't post my opinion to argue AeonMagnus, But rather give some insight on what the writers had in mind. Fate or destiny. The movie still could of worked with ultra magnus becoming the savior. I think maybe they just wanted to show a youthful autobot maturing into adulthood. They used the same idea with duke's half brother falcon in gi-joe.

  • Also I could comment on all the masonic mumbo jumbo in both these cartoons, but I think It would be going over your head. Peace.

  • Whatever.

  • You started out with the word "actually", so you were clearly trying to "correct" people, which is more than just "opinion". My point was simply that your "actually" had trouble under scrutiny, and was unlikely to be the "actually".

    Considering which, it amuses me that you imagine it would go over my head.

  • @cumonass no; hot rod was always the choice of the matrix, but optimus passed it to ultra magnus. when hot rod touched it and it lit up, it was foreshadowing that the matrix would later choose hot rod, but as per optimus request, it was passed to ultra magnus first.

  • Hotshot is a real main hero, Bumblebee is a fruad and a showoff. he is retard who can't talk

  • lol

  • The movie continuity is the only continuity in which Bumblebee can't talk, and that condition is shown to be temporary. I take that, by "Hotshot," you mean Hot Shot from Armada. Whether or not movie Bumblebee is inferior to Armada Hot Shot is difficult to say; the two continuities are so different. But I think it's safe to say that most people would put Optimus Prime over either of them whatever iteration of the character is in question.

  • ive seen dis loads of times its when rodimus short circuits himself

  • Optimus Prime's real anme is Orian Pax? TEEHEE!

  • He was Orion Pax before becoming Optimus Prime, sort of like how Galvatron was once a different robot called Megatron. There was a second season episode where the Aerialbots go back in time and meet Orion Pax.

  • okay so galvatron is megatron?

  • Yes, in the movie Megatron was reformed into Galvatron, but following the events of the movie his brain gets damaged and he becomes insane and wildly unpredictable. In one season three episode, he's even committed to an alien insane asylum!

    There's another season 3 episode where Astrotrain comments, "The days of Megatron were not like this." To which Cyclonus angrily retorts, "You mean Galvatron! Hail Galvatron!" Under his breath, Astrotrain says, "Well, they were the same guy."

  • 3:03 Rodimus Prime in Past?!

  • Nope, that's "Pre-Transformer", the first leader to identify as an Autobot, but before they obtained the ability to transform. He was the leader after Brooding Robot, and before New Narrator (these are all script references, as they are otherwise unnamed).

    transformers. wikia. com/wiki/Pre-Transformer_(char­acter)

  • wauw how you say that. sooo cool. a real transformer fan. keep it up. rodimus going back to the past. he sees so much. that was the best part. of the five face of darkness. but how you say that. gives me shiffers. if you were there your self. i so much like those flasbacks. and see also so much. autobot and decepticon leaders. look like megatron prime. of rodimus. its soooo endless big. and has so endless depth in it. keep it up my friend. because i see al real transformer fan.

  • At 3:50 there are 7 constructicons!

  • Yes. Which is where Hauler (aka Load Hauler) was retconned in by eHobby.

    It also appears to contradict Megatron creating the Constructicons on Earth, when here it's presented as them creating him on Cybertron (there are possible explanations, such as Megatron bringing them to Earth and RE-building them).

  • Ok, thanks for the explanation.

    Maybe the inconsistency is simply as an oversight, since there's a lot of animation errors in Five Faces of Darkness (the most hilarious is Cyclonus announcing he's going to bring back Galvatron, a crowd of decepticons cheers, and Galvatron is among them!)

  • I found a better image of the scene and indeed the guy behind the table on the left does look like Load Hauler. However, I've noticed another Constructicon behind the table on the right - looks like a Mixmaster clone to me. Gotta love AKOM!

  • There is a possible explanation to that too. The Constructicons resided on Cybertron before the Transformers coming to Earth. But, prior to the departure of Cybertron, it is theorized that the original Constructicons were destroyed. So, later on Earth, Megatron recreates them.

  • That's the prevailing theory, but it has problems of its own. "The Secret of Omega Supreme" shows the Constructicons were on Cybertron (Earth-style vehicles btw) but weren't evil until Megatron got them with his Robo-Smasher. So why did they create Megatron?

    There's other theories that try to explain it: brainwashing, duplicate Constructicons, multiple deaths/faction changes, but it gets tenuous quick; at some point you just have to go, it's a cartoon, it has bad continuity/animation sometimes.

  • Very true.

  • do you now there is 3 historyes?
