The transformer drug, y e s

😂😂😂😂 I was about to right the same thing.... This is the best quote hands down

Always thought RED eyes meant they never got enough sleep at night 😏

XD

True

Talk about it. I suffered the same non-eyed fate

Sound wave design kicks ass though.

Shockwave: You guys are getting eyeS?

He has a face,it's just hidden under his visior

Soundwave does have eyes there just covered with his visor 😂

Francesco Lombardi Yeah because he destroys it he is already evil

@@DeeRizz If you look up, you may see the majestic silver-winged joke flying right over you.

I think it should be "Don't come to the Realm of The Primes Tomorrow" cause during the days of the Primes they were the only Cybertronians that existed back then so there was no High Council.

ProcyonDei Megatron already almost destroy cybertron

I am ur 323rd like

Exactly. But even after I made this video, people are still saying, "I think red means aggression/ hostility". They can't see past our own cultural views and are stuck on it

@@emperorkumquat don't forget that BlitZwing said in bumblebee "you are a traitor to cybertron" so for the decepticons point of view for the autobutts they see them as blue demons on cybertron and gosh I wish there was a funny character like starscream to said they are the terrorcons of cybertron with those blue energon eyes

red means anger not evil

CJ Elsen Why would red represent anger?

@@emperorkumquat what other colors are linked to anger

Maybe even worse. Megatron is cruel, but he is also understanding. Airachnid is a brutal, cold, sparkless killer.

They look more magenta than purple

@@thegreeter7027 close enough, also yeah Airachnid is BRUTAL

She's also a spider. She's an eight legged fiend out to multiply and spread her brutality.

Airachnid acte like Unicron Like kill as she can, brutalize and torment if she doesn't intend to kill besides she seeks destruction like Unicron

Same conclusion I got. But you have much better evidence and reasoning.

Even before watching this video I knew something was off in that part of Ratchet's story of Optimus and Megatron

So technically the cons have better optics than the autobots

I honestly love this idea and this canon alot more then "red is bad and blue is good"

​@@kirb2electric Pretty much

Oh, I like that theory. I always assumed some kind of cosmetic change happened.

Actually, if you read the war for cybertron prequel comic (which is what tf prime used for the flashback), he actually never changed his eyes to blue, he always kept his eyes red. I'd say the prequel comic is more reliable source than the flashbacks, as people tend to remember things differently. Lol

@@michaeldunlap1032 I Believe That Maybe He Just Did It When He Had To Do Some Big Diplomatic Things. Because He Wouldn't Want To Scare The Politicians With A Gladiator Look

I like that theory

The flashback is stupid. Megatron also gained sharp teeth and claws somehow....

OH MY GOD, i literally thought of the same thing after i read that chapter and not long after watched this video when it was posted. i thought of the same thing and just laughed at the coincidence.

*GASP!* Another fan of that wondrous story!

What story is that? And where can I find it?

@@warriormaiden9829 its called Stop me by megadoomingir on fanfiction.net

@@fandomflinx5289 Awesome, thanks!

Then why didn't knockouts eyes turn blue when he joined the autobots in predacons rising

@@thenewbaronzyafton6860 Well it is a reference, not an in-built faction feature.

He’s doing weed! 🤣😂🤣

And Optimus has yellow eyes in this show 😉

But not too siries

i could fall asleep to this chill voice

I want her to coo me with cybertronian history

I was looking for this comment. A lot of community ( such as G1 and IDW) Red are completely relevant with Autobots, but why the Deceptics have red optics? (In general, these Communities have other optic colored characters, but the main theme always has blue vs. red)

@@thecrimson5769 This "Blue vs Red" theme even transitioned to the FoC online multiplayer (RiP multiplayer, by the way). I know that you can change it to the "Decepticons vs Autobots" in the settings but default theme sets blue as "friend" and red as "foe", so even creators of the game couldn't figure it out therefore they gave us an option.

The LED colours matched the insignia colours, which is why Autobots had blue eyes and red LEDs while Decepticons had red eyes and purple LEDs. But as noted in the video the eye colours have exceptions

@Vector Prime Stop Motion The yellow eyed Transformers in the first mission of WFC didn’t actually fight for either side, they were neutral in the war.

@@isaacdaffer1711 I don't know. I remember seeing Autobot insignia on them, but I might be wrong about that. Maybe it's due to reuse if the texture, but who knows.

@Astroblaze the Reality Traverser Yeah, the colors some of their eyes are might actually be colors we humans can't see, like ultraviolet and infrared, instead being presented to us humans in colors we can see. After all, which colors do Cybertronians see? The same as humans do? Or perhaps beyond that? I think it says on the wiki that G1 Skyquake can see infrared - which, the wiki then notes, means that Skyquake would be able to see a fart. XD Perhaps some Cybertronians can see more colors than others, like how some humans have normal visions while others are colorblind or even completely devoid of color and can only see black, white and gray (which is an extremely rare condition and kinda cool to think about, though still sad ofc, since they can only see these three "colors"). 0ArmoredSoul0 I also really like that mineral/metal theory of yours. It seems pretty obvious that optics aren't made of metal but instead crystal, thus making them more delicate and easier to crack/break than their metal armor. I also like the idea that Cybertronians also need to eat metal and not just Energon, more for the sake of their health than for keeping themselves functioning. Strong metals like iron, chromium, titanium and tungsten are good for their armor's integrity and for the strength of their teeth (which original purpose is to chow on Energon crystals in their raw form, I've deduced) - and softer, weaker metals like magnesium, zinc and precious metals like gold, silver, copper and platinum are good for the immune system, as precious metals are more resistant to oxidation and acid corrosion. However, because of their softness, a diet consisting of too much soft and precious metal may also cause a bot's armor to become brittle, so a bot would have to keep a consistent diet of strong and weak metals for maximum health benefits. Kinda like eating fruits, veggies and dark chocolate, as dark chocolate has plenty of health benefits but also contains unhealthy fat so it's important to eat dark chocolate with as high a cacao percentage as possible for the best effects. Not that I think about Cybertronian biology a lot or anything. Okay I do, I have much passion for this franchise. :)

I really like that idea. A theory could be made that since the majority of decepticons have red optics and came from lower casts, they may have recieved lower quality energon than autobots resulting in the eye colour differences.

theres also the point the video brought up about roles, different models would have had different default features and as you might notice quite a few decepticons are from mass produced models so any color preference in their design would have been multiplied greatly, in some of the continuities the mass produced models were treated as inferior beings so most of them would have joined the rebellion under megatron

You know I have a head cannon The optimist's eyes the actual glass part of it are yellow while the lights are blue this is because while his eyes are normally depicted as blue they are occasionally depicted as yellow Like in Transformers crime they're blue but in rescue Box they're yellow this head can and shows that in light that occasionally appear yellow like the light of Griffin rock rather than the sneaking route he does in Transformers prime in the dark where the natural blue light will shine do

Keep in mind that movie is a different canon

picklesandbeyond I hate that ‘movie’

I could see some color control in cybertronian anatomy on some level. With changes that can be permanent due to either an intake of certain types of energon, with the stable 'normal' types used as general food sources not having any changes, but the ones generally associated with steroids or energy drinks having a temporary change that can be permanent that goes along with the whole 'its a drug' effect. With infected, corrupted, Unicron blood/dark energon, or energon that has 'gone bad' the way food does for us could have a different eye color changing effect. Now this also could be something that they cant change as part of energon use, with variations of the same eye color they are 'born with' being something that they might be able to change like variations of each eye color being able to be changed at whim like us putting on contacts that change eye color.

Which makes no sense with a creature whose blood is blue. We associate red with rage because our blood is red. We get red in the face when angry cause of increased blood pressure and dialation of blood vessels. If Cybertronians would associate any color with rage it would be blue.

@Requiem Eye They just stated their opinion???

Oh yeah, I always thought his eyes looked slightly darker and more blue than the other Autobots' mostly cyan eyes.

@@Rubywing4 maybe a bit? Idk, but I know they changed XD

I could imagine somebot like Knockout had his eyes red for the sake of his scheme.

@@oneangryboi408 i agree but this is the first time I heard someone use "somebot" and i feel like were tumbling down the same road as bronies

Never thought of that before holy shit.

IIRC, aren't Silverbolt and Airazor the only Maximals without red eyes?

JUICY

Anonymous User this is the best reply to a comment I’ve ever seen

What topic interests you?

Shockwave's vast intellect?

@@emperorkumquat I dunno, anything would be alright. A meme video about Knockout or an in-depth one about his relationship with Breakdown would be cool.

My oc still in the decepticons but he's natural compared to the others

Nah I get you, designing OCs while considering Cybertronian cultural paradigms rather than human ones is really important! I have a blue-eyed monoformer psychiatrist who'd probably look very calming with her silver and turquoise paintjob to a human, but she is an extremely manipulative Decepticon who looks uncanny to her peers due to her lack of kibble.

That's where it originated, definitely. the 80s were a time, and even when some autobots were turned "evil" they got red eyes. Theyve been using the same eye colours for three decades now, it would be weird to turn a bunch of bots whod been blue-eyed for so long red (or vice versa) I don't know what I want the cause for optic colour to be, but that's definitely where it came from.

@@brendathevehicon Yeah.

My eyes just turned 🌈 that normal? Also in some videos I see I sometimes always hear the ( this is some autistic writing) or something.... Why is that?!?!? Always calling things autistic and as one of them btw even though I probably wish I actually wasn't and born normal..... Still. Everything has to be autistic or something 😐🤔

I did talk about his relationship with Laserbeak, but if you would like another topic, do you want to suggest one?

Knockout looks pretty cool with blue eyes!

@@fangirldreamer748 I don't like it really.. It doesn't fit his red body.

No, his intentions were always the same. Also, again, again... why red?

Intimidation?

Maybe his rage?

@@emperorkumquat he started as a poor miner then became a revolutionist, and then he saw council making orion a prime instead of him. his ambitions, greed, pride thwarted at the same time which made him a warlord. do you think his intentions were same all the time?

@@emperorkumquat and also you gave an exapmle from rid but rid is more based on children Id say cause of their humour, non humanoid types etc. I believe color is another reason to get children attracted

Optimus Prime and Alpha Trion (the two greatest leaders that most Cybertronians are aware of) are primarily red and blue

A 13 minute video using clips instead of pictures is now nothing compared to that novel summary

@@emperorkumquat I can imagine. Thank you for that however. It was entertaining

"and the Bayverse when Optimus Prime's eyes turn red while under mind control" my man, that was purple

but that's a different continuity now isn't it?

@@games_on_phone89 my point still stands! Breakdown was a con and had yellow eyes and arachnid had pink.

Eye color does mean something i nthis show, genius, but not all shows handle eye color in the same way, use your head.

@@games_on_phone89 Yes.

@@darkspyro1634 It doesn't stands, your point breaks apart the moment you equilize different shows ! Different shows are like different governments, of course they have different laws in the same way they handle color differently.

Lol, I was thinking about that, autobots are like NATO and decepticons are like soviet union ! Soviet unions also started with ideals of freedom and equality, like the decepticons, but ended up being oppressive and evil slavers themselves.

I wonder if it has relation to red energon and how it can grant more power in speed but cause its hard to process they mixed it with regular energon

You only need surgery to be a flier if you were not "born" as one. Seekers were the natural fliers who got pushed into the military from creation

Emperor Kumquat learn something new everyday

Soundwave: autobot optic colors: illogical

Megalodon Megatron Coincidence? I think yes

Aha, Potato-girl came to the same conclusion I did!

@@KingSnuggelo We're wicked smart

Yeah I think so too. Hell, even the prime comic "rage of the dinobots" actually strengthens this theory, since they actually show he has his prime design already in most of the comic, while in some flashbacks (which are mostly scenes taken from the FOC game), he's shown with his WFC/FOC design, so yeah, he definitely did surgery on himself after grimlock bite his arm.

Red Energon is haste not main fuel

And red energon is very rare

@@kovval8835 just like female transformers are 2 😏

Really? From my experience, i’ve came to the conclusion it’s a slang term used more by females than males.

but space alien no see same as we but in origin, when Transformers was first created, that was definitely the intention. We're mostly looking for in-universe reasons rn.

Natural eye colour. Video says everything is natural and meaningless

@@emperorkumquat Correct.

That's why I mentioned Jack because there was a possibility it could have been warped
