If I sound a little weird it's because this video is originally from 2017! It was blocked worldwide, so we re-edited and here it is! Also, for those that guessed Knives Out was this week, you were right. "Stuff" came up and the video got a little bigger, so that will be next week!

The moment in this movie that always gets me, Ironhide calls humanity an ignorant and violent race... and Optimus, his voice full of old pain, regret, and a fundamental honesty, asks "Were _we_ so different?"

"Starscream wins coolest Deception, at least until Megatron shows up." Starscream: "Yeah, story of my life."

Nostalgia yes or no, how can you not like giant freaking robots beating the crap out of other giant freaking robots? It's badass.

Watching this movie when it came out in '07, at age 6, got me hooked to both Transformers and Linkin Park. It holds a special place in my heart and never fails to put a giant, dumb grin on my face! Friends give me crap for loving these movies, but I don't care - hell, 6 yr old me doesn't care at all. You put giant robots, explosions, nice cars, a sick soundtrack in front of me and I'm HAPPY

"Michael Bay Is such an interesting director." **he gets smacked across the street by Decepticon a millisecond later**

"If you're an adult that enjoys these movies, it doesn't mean you have the mental capacity of a child. It means you have the heart and excitement of a child." Well, you know what Snow White said. "You're never too old to be young."

I love the Transformers movies because even though the story is trash, its just dumb fun that I can enjoy

"Movie designs sucks because they don't look like their original counterpart" I hate how people say that and not saying that to the past transformers series that changed looks to characters and even transformers prime. And plus Iornhide g1 toy was originally black lol

This movie played a strong part in my childhood

The triple "LEFT CHEEK" is also accurate. Important things are always repeated three times in the military.

9:52 I've always loved that transformation. The brief pause after he finishes transforming, then the thruster kicks in and he zips down the tunnel with the aileron roll

i think Michael Bay is unironically kinda great. When it comes to making big summer blockbusters he's like the first guy you'd call.

"Why dont the autobots have any cool jets" This is because the Autobots were actually a civilian line of design from the higher-ups (speaking from G1 here) The Decepticons were the military line of design. Their differences sparked a civil war. In a nutshell.

To this day that "Megatron" "Prime" still gives me shivers

“Man, Bumblebee’s is like the best wing man ever” Bumblebee: Heck Yeah I am!

The Skorpinok village attack scene will forever be one of my all time favorite scenes in film, the quick shots between the soldiers and their air support mixed with the quick communication and score gets me every damn time

Win count is actually 120. Linkin Park's "What I've Done" is the win.

“Yeah i am, you’re not getting a porsche.” Best product placement ever.

I thought it was such a dick move that Megatron calls Optimus “Prime.” Prime is a title! Not his name! It’s like if two sergeants were fighting and one of them was calling the other sergeant the whole time.

that final speech of Optimis at the end when he tells his people he has found a home and new purpose which is to live side by side with humanity gives me chills every time

“Before time began... there was the cube.” From that moment on, my childhood had began.

No win for Rachet's deadpan liner about Sam's "pheromones suggest he wishes to mate with the female." ? I'm disappointed.

I think we all can agree that after this and james camerons avatar cgi got SO much better.

I can't believe you missed pointing out how Bumblebee literally Drives into the Car Dealership right after Sam & his dad. He wasin't waiting there the whole time like I first thought. he literally just drives right across the frame as Sam's Dad turns into the Dealership.

“No sacrifice, no victory” *Stands around doing nothing*

Say what you will about the sequels but I'll defend this movie to my dying breath. Peter Cullen as Prime? STUNNING. The CGI mixed with practical effects is STUNNING, the score STUNNING and the SOUND DESIGN THE GOD DAMN SOUND DESIGN MUAH. I'll say it-Transformers really revitalized the action genre. For those that might have forgotten Hollywood was just DEAD in the mid 2000s thanks to the Recession (as well as other huge events) back in the day-Transformers came along and changed EVERYTHING and in the following year we had not only Iron Man but Dark Knight too? Boom boom boom we are not pirates and Hollywood would never be the same again. Also I ate the WHOLE plate. The WHOLE plate is just iconic lol.

I remember feeling like Mykeala should be the main character. She's the one who actually fulfills the "no sacrifice no victory" thing. She even calls out Sam for never having to do that and he doesn't through the end of the film.

Two things: I REALLY want to see you do Bumblebee and another neat detail: each transformer has a unique transformation noise

Really? No point for the line "I ate the whole plate. THE WHOLE PLATE."? Shame. FOR SHAME. That line is ICONIC.

Damn, I'd actually love to hear CinemaWins' take on the rest of the Bayformers movies. DO IT.

The score/soundtrack for this movie is definitely one of my all time favorites. Arrival to Earth is crazy nostalgic for me, it's so well made

You gotta admire how many characters there are in this movie alone, and how you can remember most of them pretty well. Some of them have very little screen time and still they're so memorable! So charismatic! Looking at it like that, it adds to the realism and makes you feel you're watching a perfectly compressed series into a movie

"...and Optimus had over *10,000* moving digital parts." Goddamn they must've had an entire team dedicated to just him.

I'm gonna be honest: this movie was the first Transformers thing I ever saw, and I'll always love it for that.

You don’t even need to turn off your brain for this movie, the plot actually makes sense and the characters are fun! Definitely the best of the Transformers films and still an incredible movie 15 years later! 😁

these were the movies that introduced me to the transformers franchise when I was a kid, so they'll always hold a special place in my heart. nothing brings me more joy than hearing optimus prime's speeches as a linkin park song starts playing in the background

I think the only line I remember from the 4 Bay movies I’ve seen is “ARE YOU USERNAME LADIESMAN217?!”

The one thing i mainly love about the transformers movies was the sounds it was and still is satisfying to hear the autobots and decepticons transforming, the guns, the explosions and the sound effects and ofc the visual effects are top notch.

I loooved it when sam encountered his decepticon and he gets asked "ARE YOU LADIESMAN278? WHERE ARE THE GLASSES?" it's hilarious 😂

Noooooo! You can't just stab me In my first 30 seconds of screen time! Optimus: haha flame sword go stab stab

The “Specificity” win for the guy yelling LEFT CHEEK is also based somewhat in realism. In the military, things are said in sets of threes when it’s urgent or an emergency to make sure the message is understood.

They really made optimus feel like a warrior in this and something to be feared. Which kinda adds more credit to megatron being his equal and counterpart.

There's a neat detail in the Scorponok attack scene. When he jumps out of the ground near the village, note what he does once he hits the ground. He does do rather painfully, as if he was expecting to tunnel back in, only to land on rock. He then presses a claw against the ground, realizes he can't burrow here, and decides to pull out the guns.

I grew up with Transformers, still love it all to this day, i went insane when i saw that the live action movie was coming. It's... not the greatest, BUT, it did awaken the fandom again and got so many new people to like Transformers. The soundtrack to this movie is Amazing, voice actors are *chefs kiss- and it was just so fun to see everybot come to life. My favourite in the whole Transformers universe though is Transformers: Prime, Transformers Animated and the More than meets the eye comics. And fun fact, i was born on the same day that the first transformers episode aired in the united states. September 17th 1984, i like to think that me loving Transformers was meant to be. :P

Michael Bay isn't perfect, but he is exceptional at what he does. Heavily flawed in how he tells his stories, but an absolute beast in the visual effects department. Another win for the movie is having actual US soldiers as extras so they could read off military procedures, maneuvers and chatter authentically.

"SHUT UP, GRAN'MA! DrInK yO pRuNe JuIcE!"

I loved seeing these movies as they came out while I was younger, and I think I enjoy them more now than I did when I was younger. The emotion, the action, it's this crazy movie that gets crazier the more that they continue (although I wasn't the biggest fan of Age of Extinction and haven't seen The Last Knight because of that, but still, the first three are amazing). Revenge of the Fallen moves from what was small battles in the first that climaxes to city street firefights, to big battles ending with the huge fight in Egypt that feels like a warzone! Even the world feels lived in as humans become more and more adept at taking out Decepticons. Dark of the Moon many of the Decepticons are killed by human special ops squads and it gives off this immense feeling of growth from "super heated weapons burn through the metal let's use that for everything", to "Snipers take out the eyes from a distance while a ground team destroys their legs and we execute them before they have the chance to react". They know that they're bigger, stronger, and more advanced, and like humans they adapt, use their heads, and beat the big baddies, and the fact that it took THREE MOVIES to get to that point feels just right. Again this universe feels lived in and I really do enjoy them. I hope that he makes a "Everything GREAT about Transformers Revenge of The Fallen" I'd love to hear his input on how that movie did with Sam's insanity that he shared with his great grandfather (or however many greats it was), the pacing of it, the backstory of The Fallen and The Primes, and so much more that I know he'd have a lot to say about.

Honestly think you should've added another point for Linkin Park leading the end credits

Here is somthing ive never told enyone when i was small my dad got me a lazer to point at the sky cause i thoght it whould summon robots when my dad passet i never lost the lazer so this movie holds a spot in my hart

This movie was absolutely incredible when I first saw it. I ended up seeing it 3-4 times at the cinema it was that good. For all the reasons CinemaWins pointed out. I think I was 12 at the time and this film blew my mind, the special effects were like nothing I'd ever seen. Seemingly realistic futuristic robots battling it out across our planet. I was truly awestruck

I think people rip a lot on Transformers because of how some of the bots were designed. The first three films were okay, decent action, a cohesive story, and you feel like it is a whole process of "they won the battle but not the war". Age of Extinction and Last Night however are pretty terrible. The only good thing about age of extinction was we finally got to see the Dinobots in live action. Last Knight was even worse due it trying to suddenly add in lore to the films and also trying to put the idea in that Bumblebee was around during world war 2

0:44 yoooooo did he just predict the future like I'm watching now at 2022

"Arrival to earth" is one of the most beautiful scores i ever heard

true fact: i was at high school when this movie came out and it’s still to this day my favorite movie from the impact it had in my life, i was so obsessed that i would watch it everyday after school, i was amazing on how real it looked and it was what encouraged me to become a 3D artist which lead to a successful career as graphic designer and 3D artist, say what you want about michael bay, and yes, not all of the transformers where great, but to the eyes of a kid that grew up with transformers, this movie is amazing

Please please please do the four other sequels and Bumblebee!!! I need some more Transformers CinemaWins videos! XD

My favorite part of this movie that I still geek out to a little is at the end. Optimus' speech with Linkin Park in the background still gets me hyped

My friends and I always have this game where whenever we watch the Bayformers series we drink a shot every time an american flag is in the scene but whoever spots it first gets a free pass and doesn't have to take a shot. We're almost always shitface drunk halfway through the 2nd movie.

Anyone else get choked up when "What I've Done" started playing? Just me?

Fun fact when Bumblebee the movie came out they used the beetle as bumblebees car transformation and you can see it at 2:44

I finally got around to watching this movie and the CGI and sound design completely blew me away. Like they did a phenomenal job and this came out in 2007. And of course the score is amazing as well.

One of the things I really liked about this film is the way when they walk the sound is vibrating through the ground. Like you can not only see the massive size of the transformers but you can also hear and also feel their weight. Like the early iron man suits. It felt real

When your waiting for people to like Transformers again because you are actually a fan.

I just realized Shia was only 19 when he got his role in this movie, oh my god!

Where's 'Bumblebee'? I'm _positive_ you'd love that one!

One thing that this movie does very well while the transformers are on screen the camera is very grounded so they actually feel like big robots makes them feel more real because of it

I think it's fine to like this Transformers movie, because it still holds up as a good stand-alone movie. It's just so memorable, from the characters, the action beats, and the music and soundtrack. Its sequels, though, are a whole other story-they've become just memes of this movie. And that's where the perceived hate comes from, I think-the sequels.

8:00 I have never noticed the father/son fist bump they do there. That's absolutely class! 😂😂😂

10:08, another about that one, it was also done as a practical effect, and not phoned in. They got in a stunt driver and everything. They even modified the Peterbilt 379 to have more weight on the drive axles, in order to lower its center of gravity, to get the intended results. So, Michael Bay, another huge win.

I. Don't. Care. I love these movies. Did when I was a kid and I still do now.

How could we forget to skip the voice of Prime? Peter Cullen’s preforming that captivating voice always kept the attention no matter which of the five or six movies that came out. And Bay respects that man’s voice enough to downplay the music and noise in the background to pull the audience away from the fighting and currents moments and ground you in the now.

You forgot to win Linking park- what I've done ending song man

I love how anyone can find a bit of good in these movies, really important to me because THIS is MY Transformers (well this plus prime) so it's nice to see them not get slammed on KZfaq for once.

1:01 "It gives you that weird feeling below your ribcage." I never thought I'd hear it put into words. SPOT ON SAME

"The Last Knight looks fun." Oh, my sweet summer child...

You forgot one point, Linkin Park´s song at the end of the film

Steve Jablonsky's scores are amazing. He got me listening to classical music and music from shows and animes.

As someone who has been engrossed by this franchise since I was a little kid in the early 2000s, I cannot share how HUGE this movie was to 11 year old me in the Theatres! I still watch it every year before TFcon!! Hopefully you will get to tackle Bumblebee sometime, love that one too! Also: LEFT CHEEK. LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK!!

It’s about time. The transformers franchise was always a pleasure for me.

I grew up with the "Transformers Prime" series and when I reached the age of about 8 or 9 I watched the 2007 bayverse movie for the first time. I've been a Transformers addict my whole life 😅😂

12:16 Wait, THAT was Michael Bay?

Watching Transformers for the first time in 2007 for me was like watching "Star Wars" for the first time in 1977

I’ve never had a problem figuring out which team each transformer was on because of the difference in colors and body and head design

What I've done by Linkin Park (RIP Chester Bennington) Makes the ending seen so much better especially when Optimus Prime is giving his speech.

This was one of my favourite movies growing up. I have a wild imagination, and growing up in Australia there's a lot of travelling cause it's a big country so I used to always imagine cars on the highway transforming and battling it out to pass time during long trips

No talk about how “what I’ve done” is a win? Fine to quote megaton, you’ve failed me again! (Kappa) Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go cry in a corner while listening to Linkin Park songs! And I’m going to start with what I’ve done! 😤

I can't believe this movie is from 10 years ago, the CGI is just... Amazing, when watching it for the first time I thought it was all real and I still get that feeling now

I remember this movie coming out just after my sixth birthday this movie will always hold a special place in my heart, The scene where all the transformers are in Sam's backyard I remember my dad leaning over and telling me the names of each one I just remember looking at him like "how do you know these things?"And when the dad in the movie said they blew a transformer I looked at my dad like "how does HE know about these, do you know him?" 🤯🤯🤯

Everything Great About ideas: -Rise of the Guardians -Anna and the Apocalypse -The World's End -The Kid Who Would Be King -Abominable

Challenge: Say good things about "Bayfromers" CinemaWins: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Great video. Also, here is an additional win: There is a scene in the final battle where Megan Fox's character realises that Sam may not survive the battle, so she stops the car...and breaks down. Transformers is a franchise where one of its core themes is the devastating effects of war and in this scene we saw an example of just that. People go into battle and those who care about them live in agony if they'll make it out alive. Transformers 2007 is a movie that is mostly just loud dump fun, but this scene is quite, subtle and powerful and it proves that Micheal Bay, despite the flaws of his writing and directing, actually has capabilities and potential as a director and writer.

I originally thought Tyrese was saying “LEFT JINK LEFT JINK LEFT JINK” but then I rewatched the movie with subtitles and he actually said “LEFT CHEEK LEFT CHEEK LEFT CHEEK”

It's really sad how the series became a joke when the first movie was so damn badass

9:36 I like to think Megatron *HATED* when those humans called him NBE-1 all those years and he just had to say his name out loud to show, “Yeah, I’m here, now to make you paste”

And to answer your question about Autobots with aerial vehicle modes, there are a few. In the G1 cartoon, there were Cosmos (UFO), Powerglide (Warthog attack jet), Jetfire (Blackbird).

I Just realized that Sam brakes the family motto "no sacrifice, no win" putting the cube in Megatron's chest instead of Optimus one

This movie is absolutely iconic in my family. Whenever we all have to go shovel the driveway I'm always the first to yell "The ice is freezing faster than its melting! Heave!" To which there is a chorus of "NO SACRIFICE, NO VICTORY."

The start of the video is basically: The transformers fandom is dying Like if you are a true transformist

9:18 Thankyou for giving starscream the glory I think he deserves. Everyone says he was eh, but as a kid, he was the COOLEST I wanted him to do more.

the transforming scenes in these are true asmr
