The best scene in all Transformers films........beautiful.

Nothing in movie history will ever beat the first time optimus transforms

That song when the Autobots are first landing on Earth is incredible.

Gotta love the way Optimus immediately sets a different tone compared to Barricade. He approaches cautiously, kneels without looming over the smaller humans, and the first thing he does after asking Sam’s identity is provide his own. He describes his species and names their home. And while the two humans might be overawed they also now have a vital bit of knowledge that reassures them. Optimis Prime is saying ‘we have names. We have a people. We have a home. Like you do.’

I love how, even after 13 years, the CGI of the transformers themselves is still flawless. They look 100% REAL. Truly some of the best work ILM has ever done.

I miss when Michael Bay at least tried to care about the quality of the series.

The visuals, the atmosphere, the music, this whole scene is absolutely majestic. And then there’s the cherry on top, Peter Cullen!

When Ironhide crawls out of the pool and the choir starts I always get goosebumps.

It's funny how a guy said "this is 100 times cooler than Armageddon", because that's also a Michael Bay film.

Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet.... I really miss you cool dudes... 😢

I cannot even begin to imagine how original fans must’ve felt watching those 4 meteors hit the ground watching them gain their vehicle forms, with the last one being a blue and red truck. And then they all group up and the camera focus’s on the truck as one of the greatest hero’s of the 80’s appears. And in a voice you’d recognize anywhere, he introduces himself with “my name is optimus prime”, they brought the original voice actor back holy shit! All set to one of the finest pieces of music ever put in a movie.

3:08 I never thought a trailer truck coming out of the fog can give you so much feels

Every time I watch this scene I just choke up. It's as if you are reuniting with your childhood heroes after so many years.

This soundtrack is perfect. I have no words. It's brilliant

THE BEST SCENE EVER IN A TRANSFORMERS MOVIE. 3:08 The scene where Optimus comes through the smokes and ratchet's siren sound still gives me chill even till today. Goosebumps every time I see it

Probably one of the most epic moments in all of our childhoods.

Saw this opening night in a sold out theater. This little boy yelled out at the top of his lungs “here they come!” when the fireballs first appeared and everyone just let loose with cheers.

Say what you will about the film series, but these scene, its just about holy. The music, the cinematography. The tease of each Autobot by the vehicle he chose. And Optimus Prime's reveal...

Anyone hoping bumblebee 2 or next TF movie does something like this

As music producer today i can say this scene is a pure majestic experience. Everything is so epic, and the music by Steve Jablonsky is just something that no one can reach. The sound design (heavy robots, mechanical stuff moving, cars, Peter Cullen as Optimus), everything is on the line, top of class for sure. Nostalgic af

2:10. That scene gives me chills and makes me want to cry. It shows you that the autobots are careful and want to make peace.

10 years have passed, still gives me chills every time I see this

You can totally tell Steven Spielberg was more hands on with this movie than the other TF sequels that he executive produced. This feels more like a scene in one of his movies than a Michael Bay movie. The excitement, wonder, and awe are everywhere here, and I appreciate every second of it.

Whoever designed the transformation sequences deserve a reward.

Something chilling about the autobots arriving with ratchet’s siren in the background. Screams “the reinforcements are here”

“Easy workouts for beginners at home.” The exercise: 3:26

I can't imagine how amazing this would have been to experience in theaters

Transformers 1 will always remains the best movie of the franchise. Thanks to Michael Bay as he focus more on story rather than on action and explosions.

3:14 ratchets siren gives me so much nostalgia 😭

This will remain the best Transformers movie ever!! Despite Michael Bay's flaws, this remains the best movie in the series.

I am here after a comet landed in Spain , just to give me the feel of optimus landing.

As misguided as these films were, this scene is gorgeous. The music, the angelic choir, the sound of genuine, noble good coming to Earth, and that gentle scene with the kid. This scene is what the Autobots are.

who else misses sam whitwicky..??

God I just love the sound of optimus wheels rotating- and them come to an abrupt stop god I can’t get enough of the sound!

3:25 This entire scene followed by hearing Peter Cullen say "My name is Optimus Prime" is still absolutely incredible.

THIS THEME IS COMING BACK MY CHILDHOOD HAS RETURNED 😭

Long live the last prime

I remember when I first heard there was going to be a live action adaptation of the beloved Transformers franchise. I remember thinking, yeah right. Never gonna happen. Then it was becoming a reality. I had no idea how they were going to look. I'll never forget seeing this scene for the first time, watching Optimus Prime transform right before my eyes. Literally never thought I'd see something that awesome ever. I kinda wish the rest of the movies had stayed the same, not trying to make Prime look so different. Still my favorite scene, from the best movie of the franchise

This movie made my childhood. This is nostalgia incarnate in it's puriest form.

3:48 i love how Optimus tires sound as they're being pushed back while he's transforming

3:08 This scene will always be my favourite scene in cinema history.

So were not gonna talk about the fact how rich these people have to be to have a pool big enough for having a transformer CLIMBING out???

16 years have passed yet this scene still gives goosebumps.

THANK YOU RISE OF THE BEASTS FOR BRINGING THIS THEME BACK ❤

"To all the evil and wicked on this planet, Good has come to this world. We descend." That's what if feels like, and my heart takes wing.

This was the best of all transformers movies

Fun Fact: The reason why Decepticons were so strong in this movie compared to Autobots, is because the Decepticons adapted the forms of military vehicles like tanks and jets. While the Autobots took on the forms of cars and trucks.

To this day I still love this scene the most of every TF Film. It's just the way they arrive, how every Autobot chooses his vehicular form and then when Optimus first transforms. Just the sounds and visuals The metallic and mechanic rumbling of a thousand moving parts and the epic music. After 16 years this still leaves me breathless. And I am proud to call this my childhood

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Autobots, roll out!

The first movie is and always will be the best one.

Watched this in the theatres back in 2007 as a 21 year old, and the 2:09 the musical cue and Optimus rising out of the water made me feel like I was 5 again, staring in absolute awe. This scene alone was my childhood resurrected.

I remember watching this in the theatre as a 36 year old man in 2007, tears streaming down my face as one of my childhood heroes appeared through the mist, thinking to myself, “My God, that really IS Optimus Prime.”

Sees this Me : *starts crying* so amazing my childhood right here

Seeing this years later still makes me tear up a bit. The movieverse has not been the best but moments like this one where the score just gives you that grand scale feeling is just special. No words from our protagonists, just letting the score say it all.

They can say what they want about Michael Bay, but this sequence is wonderful. The visual handling, coupled with the Jablonsky soundtrack is masterful. 2:10 That moment still gives me the chills. Just BEAUTIFUL.

Just watched this film this morning and this scene is just magnificent. The soundtrack and seeing the autobot in the pool then hiding just shows how peaceful they are towards humans and quite careful. A deceptacon would have crushed them in an instance.

the music gives me frostbite

2:30 Optimus Prime Epitomizes Lawful Good, a young human, a species that he has never met before, walks out alone, in the middle of the night to see him, and he keeps an eye on her till her parents come out... tell me he isn’t a paladin...

One of the most iconic scene in cinema history.

The one coming out of the pool is the fcking best one for me. The mechanical sound has always been a beautiful ASMR, years before I knew what an ASMR is.

3:26 that scene gives me chills down my spine

2:09 so beautiful...the music, the blue light, the huge creature standing up slowly...wow.

2:08 the choir is so so good and it really fits the scene.

I love how each vehicle form and landing reflects each autobots' personalities perfectly. Ratchet lands in a populated area and caused a ton of damage. He hides and makes sure he's not seen and carefully tries to make his way out, so he doesn't hurt anyone. He then sees the first responders and paramedics coming to help. Being a medical officer, he's found his perfect form, and scans the first ambulance he sees Jazz doesn't give a crap. He does flashy moves and and flips in style off the roof. He then turns to the car shop, and scans the flashiest most expensive car he sees. He WANTS to be seen and admired Ironhide has no shame. He allows the little girl to get a good clear look at him and carefully walks away, unconcerned his cover may be blown. Being a hardened veteran, he's dealt with much worse. He then scans the parents' GMC, a truck known for being powerful and masculine Optimus gets straight to business. He walks confidently to the highway and scans the very first car he sees, which coincidentally is a custom painted semi truck, which separates him from his subordinates as his form stands out the most, letting you know that one is the leader

This is my favorite scene out of the entire movie. Just seeing the autobots come together and transform gives me nostalgia. Plus, Steve Jablonsky’s score is fantastic.

This movie is from 2007 and I've seen it a million times but this scene still sends shivers down my spine because of how epic it is

Thank you, Mr. Jablonsky, for this amazing music that elevated this scene into heavens.

The transformers soundtrack is extremely underrated

It's so damn beautiful I want to cry.

There wouldn't be Transformers without Steve Jablonsky. The score gives you goosebumps 😮

Two scenes can give me chills every time I see them. The ending swing from Toby Maguire's Spider-Man, and the Arrival to Earth.

The details in the transformation was just incredible

I get Goosebumps at 2:10 Everytime man

Arrival to earth=THE LEGEND WAS STARTED

Even in now movies like endgame there are areas where you can identify the CGI but not in the first three Transformers

Recently, on the 10th of July, 2022, I got to experience this movie in the theater for the first time. I couldn't 15 years ago because I was just an infant, but nothing has filled me with as much joy as those movie speakers did when I heard Optimus Prime's voice boom across the chamber. Timeless film.

“My name is Optimus Prime” in the voice I thought was so cool as a kid, goosebumps.

I remember I actually started to hyperventilate in the theater when this scene played

The music score is amazing and really lets you know that this isn’t just a typical character into. It showed that this was HUGE. No solo intro of any character will ever top optimus prime. Hearing all the parts and gears. Especially the tires spin and lock up. Probably the most epic intro ever. I don’t care what anyone says. No intro of any character or characters will ever top this. I saw this in IMAX and every guy went hell yes and cheered when optimus prime was transforming.

Its 2023 and still nothing beats the feeling of this theme

This is the best movie scene of all time. Just brings tears to your eyes, just beautiful

Hands down to Bay for this scene Shia and Megan also got their "awed" looking faces spot on

I have watched this movie a hundred times. And ever still, this scene makes me happy. Makes me proud.

One of the best Cinematic moments in movie history. This was made in 2006-2007 the computer graphics are amazing . Amazing instrumental piece too to compliment the scene

every time i watch this i am refilled with new energy this makes me more stronger

this. is. good. especially. optimus. prime

It's been 16 years from now.... Still!!! Goosebumps!!!

The music accentuates the scenes so well. Especially when the one autobot is climbing out of the pool, hiding behind the trees - this is really beautiful! :)

It's just sad that aside from the main autobots (Optimus/Bumblebee), the rest are dead. But I agree that's it's really neat how each car represents the character of each Autobot.

in America, u transform robot. in cybertron, robot transform u.

To protect / To destroy That was the promo poster that I saw 14 years ago and My jaw just landed in the floor.

I remember watching this in the theatre opening night with my dad. This scene right here was what made me fall in love with Transformers. It’s absolutely impossible for me to not get chills over this even after all these years.

That first transformation sure looks painful/takes forever/wouldn't be very efficient during a battle. :p

this was the best scene of the transformers saga..

This moment is the best in "Transformers" live-action films ever.

The bay franchise may not be the best but this scene is the epitome of everything he did right. The music, the CGI, Peter Cullen, the callback to barricade earlier in the film. This scene is perfect

this movie franchise may not be perfect, but am I the only one who enjoys these movies besides the second one?

This movie is my ultimate guilty pleasure I will always love it and the wave of nostalgia I get when I see it

I love the small detail of Optimus running away from what he thinks are innocent people and when he sees them with bumblebee he asks them if they’re who the autobots are looking for, meanwhile ironhide completely ignores the little girl who watched him crawl out of her pool, shows how two different characters handle things without a single line from either of them

1:16 this is an easter egg for who like to know, i realized after a lot of time that armageddon was of by micheal bay, you can get it a lot of style in this film also on armaggedon and a lot of things of armaggedon in transformers series
