The problem I had with the Bay movies were that many of the Transformers were not particularly recognizable in robot mode, especially the Decepticons.

Seeing Soundwave in his og form made me rock hard.

I always thought Travis Knight got inspiration from Fall of Cybertron to make the opening scene.

I’m a hardcore Optimus fan, and I gotta say, the BB Prime scene made me tear up

What Knightverse had, that Bayverse didn't: 1. Recognisable characters 2. Original Designs 3. Great sound design 4. Proportions make sense 5. Range in personality for characters 6. Transformers arn't torn to shreds by gunshots 7. Laser guns 8. Transformer character development 9. Transformers wearing their Faction's Insignia 10. Cliffjumper dying

When I saw the beginning of Bumblebee I was just in aww, fanboying it up in my seat, calling out characters I recognized from the G1 cartoon, and I love the Bay movies cause they look cool, Bumblebee was just... wowing for me

I hope Travis Knight comes back to do future Transformers Movies, I want to see Transformers Movies in Travis Knight’s image.

When I sat down at the theater, and the room went dark, the logos went by, and the brief black screen stood before me, i did not know what to expect. Then the room filled with the orange glow of a battle ravaged cybertron with lazer bolts flying through the air, and my jaw dropped. Slowly that O shaped mouth curled up into a wide smile as the rest of the scene unfolded before me and it was the most genuine moment I’ve had in a movie theater in years. That was the moment i knew this movie was for the fans by the fans. I love this movie to death and this scene (plus the flashback) is everything i wanted to see in a transformers movie. I cannot wait for the future installments of this franchise and will support the creators no matter what, so long as they keep the same heart and soul in those movies as they did in here. And i pray that Travis Knight will come back for a few more movies, or at the very least, the final movie for what i hope and pray will be a successful, prosperous, and amazing movie franchise

I want a full on CGI transformers war on Cybertron movie That is something i can watch for hours

Not gonna lie, I was like "OMG OMG OMG" and on the verge of tears through the whole Cybertron battle sequence. It was just sooo right. Perfect.

i do believe my reaction to the opening was HOLY F***ING SH** NOW THIS IS TRANSFORMERS.

I was very reluctant and skeptical to see Bumblebee. I gave up on the franchise after the Devastator scrotum scene. This opening scene was everything the franchise should have been in the first place. Each character was recognizable. Loved it.

This film made triple its budget, Age of Extinction set Hasbro/Paramount's expectations unrealistically high, and there's also a general problem with films right now where studios think that unless the film makes 500 million its a failure, that's kinda the MCU's fault

In Bumblebee, I can actually tell who is who in he fight scenes While in the Bay films, it looks like a bunch of red and black metal mating with each other.....

As someone who grew up with the Bay films all I have to say is... I loved it and want more of this, the designs were actually really cool, great story, and the fights were choreographed amazingly. I actually am glad that this will take the place for the new version as the live action movies.

I was sick so I had to miss Bumblebee's premiere. So, about a week later, we finally went to cinema. There was me, my mom and like five other people, and I remember that there were these two guys sitting behind me and through out the whole Cybertron scene, the three of us were going INSANE. Like, I literally cannot begin to describe how those three minutes alone made me happy. And all of those small features, like Prime's mask moving, seeing Telatraan 1 in the background for a second and just.... EVERYTHING ABOUT SOUNDWAVE.

The opening scene alone made me so happy. :D

If the movie was just the opening sequence I wouldn't have been mad

I loved the first bay film when it came out in 2007. After that film I watched season 1-2 of generation 1 and soundwave became my favorite transformer. When revenge of the fallen came out I was excited to see soundwave, and was disappointed with his lack of screen time and dr claw voice. This scene was everything I ever wanted: “Decepticons attack” and “ravage eject”

Being a Transformers fan since G1. I was shocked and relieved to see the characters in a more iconic look.

Experiencing that Cybertron opening in the cinema was one of the greatest moments of my life! 😄

They actually looked like Robots rather than weird insect like creatures.

My reaction to watching this movie was: oh, it’s g1, I wonder how that would work ou- MAN I LOVE G1 Soundwave!

The opening scene took me right back to being a 7-year-old watching the original cartoons before school.

Me during the opening scene of Bumblebee: WHOOOOOOO! WHOOOOOOOO! WHOOOOOO! WHOOOOOO! YESSSSSSSS! YEEEEAAAAH! THIS IS THE BEST EVER! Is it over already?"

The cybertron scene was perfection👌👌

Every time I watch the Cybertron scene, it’s just as good as the first time I saw it in the theaters.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went in to see this movie. I'd seen the trailers and honestly that sold me a bit, but as soon as I saw Cybertron and the CLASSIC designs, my eyes were glued to the screen, and as soon as I heard Soundwave's voice, I knew I was going to love everything about it. I'd watch a whole movie of just the conflict on Cybertron, man. I want to see that.

I saw bumblebee in the theatres as soon as it came on and I saw it was G1 tears almost came to my eyes I love how they brought Optimus Prime back to looking exactly like he did before

I’ve been a fan since G1 started airing. I hated the Bay movies, but I liked Bumblebee for the most part. I really enjoyed seeing this intro sequence. It really got me into the movie. I was hopeful that we’d see some of these other transformers at some point in the film. I was really excited to see Cliffjumper! I was super excited to have him in the movie but I was devastated that he was killed off so soon. It was horrible to have him just show up to be executed like that. He deserved better.

I just nerdgasmed during that opening scene and it brought tears to my eyes of happiness and awe. Especially the parts with Soundwave and Shockwave.

I made my popcorn was half way done just by me watching the cybertron opening scene

1:42 My face during the Cybertron scenes. Spot on.

I LOVED the throwback Cybertron scenes...THIS IS THE MOVIE I WANT!! They need to just do an origin story for the war on Cybertron. I want to know why the civil war started, I want to see a NO HUMANS Transformers movie, make it happen please!!

You want an alien jet that looks like Megatron? TF Prime. He’s a cybertronian Jet (which is actually worked into his character, Megatron doesn’t give a crap about Earth at all in Prime) but he’s got his huge fusion canon on his arm, the bucket helmet.

Amen to this video! The beginning is how all transformers movies should be.

I agree, although it was the appearance of a freightliner fl86 cab over rolling alongside Camero-bee at the end that made me happiest. I'm up for another one of these movies if it's done by the same team. You could feel their love in all of the little touches.

This director got it right. This is what Transformers fans wanted in a movie! I saw the previews of this and was like “I have to see this!”

There are three things that make the Cybertron scene so good: 1) The designs show enough G1 influence while remaining fresh and new. It isn't just CGI models of G1... there are enough changes and touches to make them different and exciting. This allows the best of both worlds: you get the recognizability of the characters but with a new coat of paint 2) Using every moment to count. look how utterly quick the Cybetron scene goes... and just how much is put in there to tell even the most casual fan who these characters are. The Autobots are are a team working together, are in a bad situation, doing all they can to survive. Optimus is a heroic leader who charges in, saves lives, and then asks where one of his warriors is. Bumblebee is cocky and funny but he can back it up with his skill. Soundwave is TERRIFYING. The moment he, Shockwave, and Starscream appear Optimus instantly calls for a fallback. And the Decepticons rule differently from the Autobots. Optimus' order to fall back is said through desperation... Soundwave COMMANDS the Decepticons to attack. Shockwave COMMANDS to destroy the tower. 3) And finally, as you said, the action is easy to follow.

I loved this movie. And I hope to see more of Cybertron.

Megatron would've made this scene better . But I'm fine with we've got too

I was so impressed after watching Bumblebbee! Specialy the first scene!!!

I loved the opening sequence more than l can explain. I’d pay a lot to see a full length movie like that.

If Travis Knight could do a Unicron story, that would be amazing

I got goosebumps watching the Cybertron sequence, best 2 mins out of all Transformers movies ever.

One thing that occurs to me, now rewatching this scene, I had noticed the first time that Optimus appears to already be in an earth based form (exterior sunvisors), all the other characters still are in cybertronian forms. If Optimus has identified Earth and shows the projected globe, has he already been to the planet and assumed his truck form? If so, that would be an interesting story line to go into.

1:45 come on, man, be honest. These sequences are the best live-action transformers moments by a long shot.

I like shooting as action, as well as melee combat. It's harder to do, as lots of people find it disinteresting. This film does it. And, y'know, G1. Oh, and Megatron should be either a tank or something a little more out-there like a hovercraft.

When soundwave said “ravage eject” I got shivers

This is the only Transformers movie I bought. I stopped watching after the second one in theaters.

The tape deck explosion cracked me up. Good work

This scene is Almost Perfect to the Entire Transformers Media, 4 Years later and this scene is still Legendary, The closest representation we Got to G1 in a Transformers Movie until now

Soundwave with Ravage ejecting gave me Deceptigasms..hahaha..

I think Bumblebee was great, favourite character from that was Dropkick, I don't partly mind the Bayverse movies, I can see why others don't like them, my views on the Bayverse. 2007 was OK, ROFT was my favourite, for a while, didn't really get behind DOTM, AOE, I wish there was more to it, TLK, I had high hopes and some moments I liked but the rest of the moments in that film were, pathetic. And one finally thing, Megatron turning into a gun, I've alway's thought of him turning into a Gun + Tank combo, where he can turn into a tank but the turret can be detached from the base of the tank and used as a gun.

I gotta admit, Arcee looked damn sexy in the movie. And I never thought I'd ever say something like this about anything related to Transformers.

You're absolutely right. The sound Soundwave males when he enters the scene, 80's phenomenal

I like how he presented the transformers like soundwave and Optimus. Never really like Bay's over designed, and the quite useless Devastator.

Comodin Cam this video was absolutely flawless sir. Thank you. I had a difficult time containing myself in the movie theater. I actually saw this movie in 3D!!! That opening scene was epic. It reminded me of the intro to Infinity War...just awesome. If this was a Hip Hop Album...it would remind me of the intro to Nas’ Illmatic I was like a kid all over again. Travis Knight was really onto something special.

Said it before and I'll say it again! Bumblebee was the Transformers movie we should have gotten 11 years ago! Yet I didn't mind having the iconic designs and simplicity of HmG1 and some of the modern intricacy of the Bay designs.

This one scene literally made the whole movie amazing

My daughter and wife were laughing so hard in the theater at how hard that opening scene had me geeking out as an 80's kid!

I just love the opening sequence of Bumblebee. It set the stage perfectly for the movie! I expected it to be a slight improvement from past installments. And Bumblebee lived up to my anticipation. I didn’t care for explosions. I wanted real action and a reason for humans to be involved. It left me even more excited for the future with a Bumblebee sequel and animated Cybertron movie in the works at Paramount. The Autobots should team up with the Power Rangers in the future as well.

This scene was so kickass.

“CLIFF JUMPER” IS THE BEST TRANSFORMERS NAME I’VE EVER HEARD

The Cybertron scene was amazing. We need more.

I could not AGREE more! I was so excited watching the opening scene on Cybertron. I was calling out the names of the characters on both sides, as they were introduced on the screen. It took me back to the 80's, and the wonderment I felt then. Of course, my wife and daughter were looking at me like I was crazy, but I just smiled and kept pointing out who was who. ;)

When I saw the G-1 designs in the trailers I thought I was either high or just dreaming.

When I went to see bumblebee I brought my friend who wasn't a fan and he really enjoyed it

I think this was the best Transformers Movie so far. I do not like any of the Michael Bay Versions at all.

7:30 I will say that Megtron turned into a POWERFUL gun, that was kinda the point. He took his bazuka-like blaster and confined it down to a pinpoint shot that in the hands of any sharp shooter would be a huge advantage over their normal weapon. The downside is he required a sharp shooter like StarScream to use him and it was suppose to be a "honour" that Starscream got to wield him. A honour that Starscream didn't appricate enough. The main problem was Megatron was at a disadvantage while in his robot form since he lacked the manuveuring skills and was a slower shooter, which while in gun form was not a problem (he fired faster). Least this is the theory.

I love soundwave’s voice, it’s perfect

First time i watched bumblebee i was absolutely blown away by what i was seeing, i really hope the director gets to do a couple more and with more cybertron, his vision of transformers was true to G1 which was by far the best for good reason.

During this ONE scene I was squirming in my seat. I can't say I've done this for any bayformer movie.

No more explosions in Transformers Movies only for the Action scenes.

I was full on cheering thought out this whole scene, and calling out each character’s name as they came onscreen. I was beyond elated. Hearing Soundwave’s voice just put me over the edge. I want MORE!

that is why they need to make a whole movie just like the opening scene...

The scene literally made me jump out of my seat and said to my friend now that's Transformers. It's one of the only films that have made me feel this much enjoyment and feel like a franchise had a future. It's one of the reasons why Bumblebee is my favorite film of all time next to Endgame

I would much rather watch bumblebee over any of the Michael bay movies.

I had the happy tears going at the opening scene. Was a bit disappointed that it was so short but it gives me hope I can burn the Bayforners. The happy tears going again at the end showing Bumblebee and Optimus driving together across the Golden Gate.

Easily the best part of the live action transformers movies so far have been the 5 mins on cybertron here. I wasn't blown away by the rest of the movie, thinking it was soso, but the cybertron part left me wanting more.

you can get more of that scene in 'WAR FOR CYBERTRON', if you haven't played it yet..

Great video and everything said was spot on... G1 rules! Let’s hope we see more of it in future movies

when seeing the opening scene, i was extremely fan boying in my seat shouting out the ones I recognized!!

I like the beginning scene where the Autobots and Deceptions fight on Cybertron

RW:im surprised that Megatron didnt show up for that Cybertron Scene,you could just imagine if Frank Welker still had done Megatron s voice,it would have been more nostalgic.😁

dude *Simple is better* only kids from the 90's would understand that

For me, the one surprising addition to those appearing in the Cybertron sequence was Brawn. I never thought he'd ever be rescued from obscurity. Outside of some rare moments in G1, his death being the first in the movie and his briefly seen TF Animated appearance; he's never really gotten his time in the limelight.

The mix tap one 😂😂😂

There is almost no doubt that majority of the fans would prefer a movie of that Cybertron style instead of being all realistic on Earth. As soon as I saw this scene I was reminded of War for Cybertron. Shockwave and Soundwave being my favorite Transformers of all time also made this scene mean so much to me, 1 min scene > Bay films

Here's an easier way of them getting it right.. they played war/fall of Cybertron

the design of the robots are (to me) a combination of the g1 and fall of cybertron feel

I really enjoyed the movie with all the references to the old G1. It was great

The only thing the scene was missing was Shia LaBeouf saying nonononono

As a starscream fan I was a little sad when he didn't speak but still seeing him in his original G1 form alongside deceptions fighting just left my mouth open I hope that soon they make a live action movie just about them in cybertron.

Let’s hope they keep making G1 inspired movies.

Watching that opening scene in IMAX was mind blowing

That was brilliant, Sound wave was always my favourite, the rest of the movie made the mistake of the humans being too prevalent

Well said mate 👏👏👏👏👏 G1 80s forever 👌

it was fantastic. I'd love a full length film in that style. I didn't realise there were so many references to the original film.

Every Cybertron scene needs to resemble G1, or be full on War for/ Fall of Cybertron games.
