Small correction: Fun published Shattered Glass, not IDW. Also be sure to check out my other Making Sense of Transformers videos here!: kzfaq.info/sun/PLguwpjbT_Ya0juNuJyqNCo1dd-MSXXjsk

For the longest time I wanted to know what the story behind the alternat timeline, you did a fantastic job breaking this down!

I’m glad people are starting to find about this now lol. My favourite thing about this is how the comics showcased jazz’s strength and personality while being corrupted

*The internet needs a new mission to archive all the Titan comics, scan as many physical copies as we can, and reveal all the secrets of the Bayverse*

Note, Shattered Glass was published in 2008 by Fun Publications for the Botcon convention that year. Not IDW.

Hello everyone, im a massive tf fan, the 07 movie got me into this stuff, and im from the UK, so i did read a bunch of these comics when they were coming out in the late 2000s sadly i had no idea what was going on half the time dut to not having much context but these were a blast to read, i remember the issue where some big game hunter tried to trap optimus prime and take his head as a trophy but optimus faked being caught, it was one of those " well duh" moments, ive still got a bunch of those comics kicking around at my dads, i honestly had no idea these comics were almost lost media considering how frequent they were in every news agents i would enter with my dad on weekends, these comics alone gave me a big appreciation for characters that had toys but didnt appear in movies like longarm and smokescreen, and definitly stockade, have a great day everyone

Just a head up for people they did actually print some of these comics in book form. They are labelled as Transformers Adventures.

This story was my childhood! Had all the comics so I’m very glad to see this finally covered!

What if…Lockdown was in TLK ? I do not know why they killed Lockdown in his debut movie. I honestly thought he’d make it to a sequel. I bet if he was in TLK, that movie wouldn’t have been so asswater

7:13 Dropkick is based on his video game and 2007 toy design.

Overall, this seems like a pretty cool comic series, thank you for sharing!

I wonder if someone at the new publishing compay can republish these old comics as part of a collection.

I remember these! I was very confused reading them as a kid because I struggled to grasp the concept but I still really liked them

This need to be a show

Idw had a movie series. As well as titan. They are able to coexist for the most part.

The Titan Comics actually featured Strongarm, the one that was a Redeco of Energon Strongarm, and swear I can hear Scott McNeil's voice

Fantastic, next making sense of transformers should be about the AOE autobots and where they were during movies 1-3

No kidding. I used to read those what if comics when I was a kid.

I forgot Danny Lore did Transformers comics lol. I liked their Queen of Bad Dreams comic.

Great video dude! I'm in the UK, and I had pretty much all of these comics when i was younger, I would always check the comic section and buy them each time they released. We'd always get some dumb plastic toy with each issue, like a little dart gun or something, and I loved those 😂 I do remember issues in this whole saga, and I still do have some of the comics! I think I kept buying the TF magazine until TF Prime, and then I stopped, and I think I stopped buying every issue with DOTM. Good memories!

I wonder if the cast and crew read the comic inculding Michael Bay himself. Also it would be interesting if someone tried to explain the Unicron thing here.

Thank you!!!!!!! I’ve been looking for a way to read these comics forever even made my own video about it now I gotta go back and read all the comics I missed

Thanks for sharing the link..I was just starting to hunt those transformers live action titan comics.

This was SOOOO much fun! :)

Great video bro, it and your channel deserve WAY more views, super well done and polished!

This is one of my favorite pieces of transformers content and I’m so glad you covered it!

These stories weren’t in the iceberg videos 👁️👄👁️

Surprisingly this can still fit. Here's how I make more sense of it. You'd play the movie 1 videogame with events being very similar just with the Autobots and Decepticons deploying drone armies, but the Cons havign a bigger army, if you follow the AUtobots ending then it leads into Revenge of THe Fallen the Game where the constant war and alliance woth HUmanity has led to the Cons exhaustign their drone army and havign to rely on Protoform soldiers, but the Decepticon ending to the first game's movie leads into this alternate timeline. Awesomely it's never said WHERE Unicron comes from, his life force is simply drawn to the now dead Cybertron, so I rationalize this as his life force leaving his body which became the Earth, and because Primus is very weak especially with the Allspark destroyed, Unicron kills Primus and takes over Cybertron as his new body, then sets it on course to Earth to devour his old body and integrate it's important components into CYbertron so he coudl fully transform back to robot form, but due to Optimus's actions Unicron is drained of fuel and the COns all get teleported to him and all teleported once more to the far edge of the galaxy, but this can be open ended a bit for fun ideas I had, such as the Fallen somehow saving Megatron and the CYbertron trapped COns and beginning another open war on Earth, and Optimus getting so desperate that they find the Matrix and revive Sentinel Prime, but after hearing how Cybertron was taken over by Unicron and is too far gone to be saved, Sentinel instead fully allies with Optimus and the AUtobots against the Fallen and Megatron, and Lockdown arrives acting as a neutral 3rd force with his mercenary army helping Quintessa. And maybe KSI builds it's own Transformers from melting down the armies of drones and dead Cybertronians left lyign around from this much bigger war. Imagine this huge epic war with prety much every Transformer from the movies involved this time, even the Driller, DInobots, and Knights and Devastator fighting on the battlefield. Overall I really love this alternate timeline and it was such a fun what if idea.

i ve never find the part 2 and 3 only the 1(the beggininf of the video) I glad you explained how it ends

Rewatching the Bumblebee movie has inspired me to rewrite the Michael Bay Transformers movies. I would have 9 Autobots and 9 Decepticons in mostly G1-inspired designs like Bumblebee (not all of them will have time to develop in the single film, I am aiming for an entire 10-year saga similar to Marvel's Infinity Saga). My Autobot cast would include: Optimus Prime (the stoic but kind leader who serves as the heart of the story) Bumblebee (the optimistic and upbeat scout who serves as the human-Autobot connection) Arcee (the sarcastic older sister of the group) Elita-1 (who serves as the mother of the team) Wheeljack (the nerdy engineer of Team Prime) Ratchet (the careful medic) Jazz (the cool, suave daredevil) Cliffjumper (the gentle giant of the team, I'll explain how he is alive after Bumblebee later) Ironhide (the toughest of the tough, built to last) My Decepticon cast would include: Megatron Starscream Soundwave Thundercracker Slipstream Skywarp Shockwave Airachnid Blitzwing (I'm gonna say the Decepticons found his destroyed parts and rebuilt him with triple-changer parts to become G1 Blitzwing) Here are the two human leads: Mikaela Banes (who will be the main human character, similar to Charlie in Bumblebee) Sam Witwicky (who I decided to be Mikaela's friend and fellow mechanic and give him the nickname Spike to reference G1) Anybody want to support this by sharing it with other Transformers fans? I'll probably add or rewrite some things after I see Rise of the Beasts, but for now, I will add a couple Unicron and Beast references as throwaway dialogue.

Funny thing about these being "lost media..." that's not entirely true. They were collected in tiny trade paperbacks, in a three-pack. Unfortunately, the collection ends with the conclusion of the Unicron arc, so no Hard Target - onward. It just comes to a sudden stop with Cybertron sitting there next to Earth. But if you do want physical copies, they are out there -- look for the three-volume collection "Transformers Adventures." The covers are stock images from the movies featuring Optimus, Megatron and Bumblebee. They're also cheap, the most expensive complete one I saw was £10.

Thank you! we needed this as fans!!

HOLY SHIT MAN- I never knew this was a thing ! THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME- The coincidences are INSANE! Great job covering this, dude! Can't wait to see more. 😄😄🤘🤘

I have been looking for this continuity for the longest time and gave up, thank you for covering this

Wow this was a great coverage of this whole alternate Bayverse films but with alot more structured writing and storyline that these literally could be done as like a short miniseries of animated movies

I would’ve already considered this continuity better than the sequels just for stronger writing, despite the inconsistent and conflicting art styles. But really, I say it’s better than the movies purely because Ironhide doesn’t die.

Excellent video keep it up 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

I could only find the first lotmof those comics, but never looked after about 2020! Thanks for the info!

I really didn’t like that they made Unicron Earth in TLK having Unicron be in Cybertron is different but works better there were a lot of good ideas in these comics

14:23 Comic Unicron could be argued to be Dark Nova

This is so crazzy and awesome!!!!

Awesome content, I only knew about the first story.

i love hearing the revenge of the fallen video game menu screen music playing in the background

This story better than the last knight

4:44/4:53 What about the TF: Prime magazine comics they released in Russia and the RID15 magazines from Titan's successor? I wondered if this site managed to retrieve & archive them?

1:56 Shattered Glass was originally published by Fun Publications, the original hosts of BotCon. IDW did not produce Shattered Glass comics until 2019. EDIT: just read the pinned comment, my bad

the transformers movie universe is called the Tyran cluster. Particularly the live action universe is called Tyran 707.04 Delta

The bumblebee voice we hear in the last knight is bumblebee's true voice not the voice in 2007 so your wrong marlinfan1995 optimus prime didn't hear bumblebee's voice in 2007

Shattered Glass started as the theme of Botcon 2008 and comics about it were made by Fun Publicationa for the TFCC. IDW didn’t do Shattered Glass comics until the last few years. I have no idea how you messed that information up.

So true!

This Is basically a: What if Megan Fox was never fired?

Wish we had this story instead of the movies.

The reason dropkick doesn't look like the version from bumblebee is because he was based on the toy from the 07 movie toyline. And the bumblebee movie is a reboot so it wouldn't make sense anyway.

Wait so the autobots just gave the decepticons Cybertron? Now they have all that tech free,also all the decepticons flew there they could always just fly back. What keeps them from doing that?

6:34 I sorta interpreted it as slight amnesia from Quintessa's brainwashing (in the main Movieverse continuity).

Crazy enough, the plot on this what if actually made a better version on the Bayverse, had they only done these in the actual movies.. goddammit the potential so long was lost

Very fascinating

The last knight's ending scene where Unicron is the Earth's core isn't the first time this has happened, in the show Transformers Prime Unicorn's mind is the Earth's core too. A Show that took place I think before the The Last knight so I think the writers of that movie's storyline got that idea from Transformers Prime Writers.

I protect the physical run of these comics that I collected when I was a kid with my life.

Other than Jazz’s change, this is so much better than the movies we got(especially 4 & 5)

I can't find these on Amazon Kindle is this readable from a site? What are they called? Is there a graphic novel?

I heard Jazz never got an ending as the series got cut by one issue.

I've got all of them 😅

Wrong shattered glass comics made by the wrong company, but whatever, no cares about funpub anymore. Rip funpub

I’m having trouble downloading it. Whenever I do it just shows up as data and not the actual comics. Any tips?

Great ending, but too bad Sam won't ever be able to see it.

I loved this series, Mikaela was a much better protagonist than sam. Also what is the site with the comic scans please?

I wanted to see this alternate bayverse as a movie

DECEPTICONS FOREVER!

No wait for the Decepticons to ever return to Earth? How do they get to Earth in the first place?

I do recall owning two Titan Magazines of AOE

Wait in 2008 fun publications published shattered glass not Idw

Do you think we will get Transformers live-action movies without humans in the future?

I'd honestly prefer the Decepticons had fully taken over earth and kept some loyal humans as partners like bumblebee and his human partners.

Can you post that download link for the comics.

What is the Autobots moves

The writer of DotM was named Ehren Kruger? TATAKAE

What if autobots had drones on the battlefield

Link for the media archive

That’s a radio voice not his actual voice if listening closely it sounds a bit off also none of the autobots reacted to it

if the bayverse was like this it would be as epic as the mcu

I thought this is a multiverse story, not an alt universe

Original script in the eighties the autobots are evil Megatron lost it and became evil

So i was bored and felt like watching some dum action movie that beeing transfromers last knight so my question is this how do all the movie fit together because it feels like actions and reactions of characters make no sense like the bumblebee movie, like sure secrets and hidden facts bla bla But like evan for me a person that enjoy pulling apart movie and digging in to fun but unessesery extra lore. Anyway i just find it a bit wonky when it comes to the transformer movies like stuff is thrown in cos its cool but is like square peg round hole things don't quite fit when you dig in to it?? Or am i missing something??

we had this comics in russia too, I definitely remember that I had such

I’ve had an easier time taking the comics and bios as cannon more than 4 and 5

2007 that's not bumblebee's voice

Man the british are getting all the fun 😞

I would say that this video is misleading content... It gave no "alternate ending" to Rise of the Beasts... Simply a theory that never happened and had nothing to do with Nemesis Prime...

Ewww, showing images of the new Shattered Glass while talking about 2008. The new comics weren't that good, and lack the charm of the original.

wow at the end of the comic they and bay just ripped off the g1 episode Megatron's Master Plan

Transformers kiss players. Manga. Pleases.... 😅😅😅😅

Oh HELL NO!!! DO NOT enter the multiverse into this universe! it's the biggest cop out in continuity fixes ever! Just write a good story! Christ...
