I really hope the unreleased animatcs are shown to us one day but amazing work man; you really are dedicated to your work and it shows

It’s crazy to think this legend will never run out of Bayverse content.

Animatics are an underappreciated thing. The ideas and dynamic shots are 90% produced by animatics.

Only FIVE? We once had hundreds!

I think Optimus Prime got more aggressive and violent after he was revived by the Matrix of Leadership in Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen. He seemed to have lost his iconic moral values. He was a little aggressive in Transformers 2007 during the fight with Bonecrusher because he had no other option but to stop him from harming humans. The same thing also happened during the forest fight in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen with Megatron, Starscream and Grindor because he was trying to protect Sam Witwicky. Keep up your Great Work.

I thank transformers 2007 for introducing me to the transformers franchise.

Damn, that devastator death was brutal! Maybe even more brutal than the actual movie.

Perhaps one of the few transformers fans who discusses Bayformers positively. Also i have a feeling the blue eyes on some decepticons is so the artists can see them since depending on the scene and the colors of the characters, you may not quite see the eyes

Theorymus, you still make the best transformers content to this day, I’ve watched all your vids at least 4 times

That scrapped Ratchet design at 12:00 is so cool. Could've been like an Inferno or something. And it's cool too on how some of these animatics were reworked into different scenes, so it's like they were never lost. However, it does suck that the animatics for the later movies aren't archived in these features for our viewing pleasure. It would've been so cool to see stuff like Lockdown's original model, Galvatron with a Nemesis Prime head, and TLK Megatron's dragon mode.

I love the topics you cover. I’ve never seen any of the TF movies’ pre-viz stuff.

The dedication you took up to make this is surprising...

Man… I really want to see what has happened after Megs ripped Jazz in half, if he’s eating the spark for a dark moment.

Wow. 55 minutes! I respect the dedication, hours and details you found for this video.

16 years since the first film and Theorymus is still finding littles tiny details we didn't even notice. keep it up dude😁

51:14 that's because in the novel, wheeljack gets separated from the other autobots when the driller first attacked, and later got killed by a bunch of protoforms

20:09 The construction site appeared in the Transformers Game (2007) where bumblebee fights deception troops.

A Decepticon that i've always loved and is my favorite in the TF2 game is Sideways, just because how he looks and plays, so obviously knowing that atleast at some point in the movie animatics he was going to have some more badass scenes is kinda nice to know.

11:47 In the animatic where it shows bumblebee saving Sam and Michaela from falling that car bumblebee looks like a old 79 trans am from the back tail lights with a 75 trans am front end on bumblebees shoulder but the 74-77 Camaro had a similar front end . 18:45 and at this time mark he has the 77 trans am front end . So maybe at one point he was gonna be a trans am firebird or his concept models was a mix between the Camaro and trans am

50:57 DAMN didn't know Sam got the whole bakery back there!

52:58 a friend of mine theorized that the director for need for speed was the one who bought the last orange bugatti, since there was a black and orange Bugatti seen in need for speed, causing bay to get a black and blue one instead

I'm always sad Jazz died in the 07 film I love all the autobots in that movie so it's a shame he did. Another great one Theorymus!

I remember when you showed one of Grindors death along time ago! Ah, good times!

As much as some people hate the Michael Bay Transformers, but goddamn the cgi is God tier.

Amazing work dude! The animatics are so cool, even unfinished they look so good and it really helps to show just how ahead of its time the vfx of the transformers movies were

Till now, all these years, i didn't know that in forest battle Optimus threw his sword at Grindor.

*_HOT DANG!_* That deleted Soundwave death! Bee’s a frickin’ savage there! Also, it’s a *_CARDINAL SIN_* that the choreography at 28:24 - 28:37 was cut, as well as a powerful kick Megatron uses afterward to send Prime flying. Btw, will you be doing any “What If I Survived” videos anymore? I’d really like to see your alternate scenarios for Soundwave, Sideswipe, Nitro Zeus, Sentinel Prime, Que, Jolt, Blackout, Stinger and the Arcee sisters.

Some of bumblebees head concept art looks awesome

“It would have made Shockwave more of a force to be reckoned with, which they fumbled at pretty hard” he’s not lying, bro got killed by a parachute lol

behind the scenes stuff like this is always a joy to learn about. definitely a favorite video of mine from you!

The original colour scheme of Demolishor was changed in order to avoid confusion from having a near identical bot to one of the constructicons who form Devastator dying at the beginning of the film.

Thank you for working hard to make us this amazing video, your a king, no, a prime 🗿

17:30 interesting to see in that concept art that megatron looks or resembles more of a prime type figure compared to the others where he looks more alienated 20:49 is that stinger⁉️⁉️ 26:32 could have been an update on bumblebees mask change or a reimagining of what it would look like with his fight between rampage. Another possible theory is that there could have been a cut fight in between the forest fight where barricade delays or prevents bumblebee from getting back to Sam and Optimus

In the clip where bumblebee is fighting a red version of himself I’m surprised you didn’t say the red bumblebee was stinger or cliffjumper

24:52 Dark of the moon the protoform Dumpster long Haul recolor did use his eyes to scan the dumpster truck

Just Admit it Theorymus that you are working with Michael bay in the Past 😂 Anyways Thankyou for this amazing video I cant imagine your time and effort doing this ! I cant wait to see more !!

The c17 in rotf dropping optimus was stratosphere

@theorymus at 4:05 What if Frenzy was like Jetfire and switched from the Autobot's side to the Decepticons? I have a head cannon that Barricade used to be Prowl and Frenzy having blue eyes could support that since I believe he's his mini-con. I know Prowl appears in the comics but it would be interesting either way. It could also explain why Bumblebee spared Barricade's life in the movie since they may have a history. Besides that, love your channel btw.

Take a drink everytime Theorymus says concept art.

I always loved these. Gives me motivation to create stuff like this.

Nice video as always Theorymus!

The disappointment in your voice when you only found 5 animatics throughout 3 hours of dotm special features just shows how dedicated you are to this. It’s amazing the things you pump out for us

Good idea for the producers to do to visualize

Heyoooo Theorymus! Awesome to see you uploading!

Take a shot every time he says the design was based on early concept art

If rumble was in the bayverse, what would he look like and transform into?

You should cover the deleted scenes of the bayverse. If you want.

9:36 in the preqyel comics he was a soldier of megatron but he choose to help the autobots..... So jetfire isnt the only one who betrayed the decepticons

Thanks for the you guys and the other guys and glad to hear you're having a good time

Speaking of Animatics, are you going to cover the Transformers: Cyber Missions show for the Bayverse continuity that came out after Revenge of the Fallen?

Very amazing video and this really shows the behind the scenes of the animation which looks very good

It’s crazy how most of the animatics shown are somehow better than what we got in the films.

I actually saw the animation thing on the special features of revenge of the fallen.

Thank you for another amazing video Theorymus, you're really awesome and you always make my days better!!!

Omg I’m living under a rock how did I miss this video? 👁️👄👁️ it’s almost an *HOUR* long even better

If I take a shot everytime he says "that's because his design was based off his early concept art" I'd be dead

Jason the redstone master, I miss you. I am so proud of what you have created. Continue your great work. You deserve the world.

26:16 Judging from animatic I feel like this was an early concept involving Barricade as a placeholder then turned into the Bumblebee VS Rampage fight in Egypt (especially that mask shot and the kick to the side of Barricade's chest, it really reminds me of the shots in the movie)

These are crazy! Thanks for showing us and explaining them and have a great day theorymus :)

Tbh I prefer how the animatics portray the actions scenes more than how they turn out in the movies. Shockwave's eye zooming onto that helpless soldier is way more creative than Shockwave just looking up at nothing lol.

When do you think the Loader will be released? It is one of the oldest videos we have been waiting for.

Time to grab myself some snacks, maybe a drink or 2

Nice! Congratulations On Reaching 203K Subscribers! 🥳 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎊

A lot of them for me are a lot better than what we actually got for the movies, hope to see back ilm after rotb

The longer I wait, the juicier it gets

This is why the cinematography in transformers is so good, conceptualising every view point, like sketching to figure out building elements in architecture

Your best video by far! Great video dude, I like your more in-depth videos that explore the behind-the-scenes of these movies. Can’t wait for all the Rise of the Beasts content soon

It's still funny to me that Starscream was crying his eyes out (literally) when Sam popped it out, but when Megatron pulled his entire arm off to smack him with it, he just shrugged it off like it was nothing.

Awesome Video! You can also probably also use some of these clips for your behind-the-scenes channel!

In the forest battle in the movie maybe Optimus couldn’t hear him because of the kick in the face

You have done enough my guy,after all that get some well deserved rest.

Very cool

Ngl I dig IROC Camaro Bumblebee Edit: as much as I love crosshairs’ final design, I much prefer the vehicle mode of the concept since it makes complete sense as to why he has a cape. Basically; he’s a drag-spec c6 corvette with parachutes to help slow him down, in the concept, the cape is black and has key features especially on the shoulders alluding to the shape of the parachutes. I remember him having those parachutes in the final design but they’re only used regularly and not as a cape. Tbh it would’ve been ideal for crosshairs to have the c6 corvette alt mode with the final design robot mode having a few tweaks, namely; the cape being at least one parachute while the other is used for “that” amazing scene.

Goes to show how hard they really did work on the tf films CGI

Two more months Until Is Transformers rise of the beast comes out WHO IS EXCITED?

the fact you went trough it all makes you a legend

2:03 My Dissapointment Was Immesurable and My Day Is Ruined

I think that the Decepticons had blue eyes early in production because they thought it was unnecessary. I mean, the Decepticons already have very inhuman designs when compared to the Autobots.

Preciate the effort u put in to these videos

The Prequel trilogy pionered this sort of thing and ilm worked on this it reminds me alot of the revenge of the sith animatics and attack of the clones very similar

From what I remember, in the DOTM novel, which was based on an early version of the script, Wheeljack/Que died earlier than Mirage/Dino, so that explains why he wasn't present when they were captured. The Autobots were driving through Chicago, being chased by the Driller. Wheeljack/Que was knocked into the river as they crossed the bridge, and there were Decepticons lying in wait beneath the surface, and they ripped him to pieces. Gotta say, I'm glad they didn't go with that, because that sounds really cheap and quick for the death of an Autobot. Even if you don't care for him, his execution scene in the final film really makes you feel for him on some level. Granted, I never saw him as Wheeljack, but Que. An old bot inventor, not much of a fighter, so of course he doesn't stand a chance. Kinda wish we saw him do SOMETHING with all those things on his back, I think isn't one of them a staff or a sniper rifle?

WOO! Can't wait to watch this

Theorymus never misses

Can you make a video on the original seven primes and unicorn; (bay verse)

I wanna see all the love and work put into the movies I wanna see all the animatics

Only a few minutes in and I cannot hold back the joy the 2007 movie animatics give me, got to thank you for your amazing work

I think we can see Megatron and Optimus ending where the original DOTM was deleted, the confrontation between Shockwave vs Optimus, and a truce agreement like the novel.

"Sit back, relax, and grab your favorite snacks." I loved hearing, niiice man

Love the new editing style you're experimenting with, man!

Maybe it wasn't Stone, maybe it was a different character who was played by the same actor, I'm basically claiming this because in TF1 the Defense Secretary(I forgot who said it i need to watch the movie again) said there were no survivers after Blackout attacked the military base, which means that Colonel Sharp didn't survive, but in ROTF his actor (Glenn Morshower) played a totally new character named General Morshower, so there's proof that they did it before, the only problem is there's no scenes that show Stone and his doppelganger together, so it still could be anyone's guess

W video big fan btw, also video idea: lockdowns ship size inconsistencies

I’d like to think that one day sideswipe or someone else called up BB and said “hey dude come hang with the boys” And BB said “sorry bro gotta take care of my pe- I mean my friend”

29:43 actually it does make sense he couldn't hear Megatron behind him because he was too full of rage and concerns for sam as if he had like that call of duty sound grenade

Awesome video

Let's see how this video turns out.

1:08 CGI render of yellow robot kinda looks like Sunstreaker

Do a video of what if the bayverse had other combiners other than devastator.

Dude this is an amazing video with amazing information and forgotten media. Ma man your truly great at what you do! What a great video, absolutely fantastic brotha❗️

So much work went into these movies man

I loved this, and the quality of your vids keep getting better ❤
