Transformers Refuge follows the premise of BumbleBee being a reboot. This is our interpretation of how Optimus found his way to Earth.

Travis knight: *bumblebee movie* Tfi: now where did I leave my camera

Fans: where is the Optimus prime movie? Paramount and Hasbro: just wait *Time passes* TFI creation: find I do it my self

"And it was here that Travis Knight saw the potential in TFI, and a prequel bonus feature with new bluray copies were released in his name."

Bumblebee movie exists TFI: That's cute, now where did I put Studio Series figures.

Travis Knight: I will create the best Transformers movie TFI CREATIONS: *Hold my beer*

4:06 is that from fall of cybetron from their final battle where they said "you should have spend more time in the pit" " and you should have spend more time in the library"

All those who declare this as newly-established Canon, Say Aye!

Having the G1 Optimus toy in the background was a nice touch.

4:14 - 4:23 Damn... that burn tho...

Can't wait for this to NOT get retconned. Honestly it's a great interpretation of what could of possible happened on Cybertron while Bumblebee was on earth. A really great project overall. Also very nice to see what one of you're 'normal videos' after the remake looks like. I love seeing all that you used and learned in that being put into this film. Honestly I'm very excited to see what the future of this channel holds

What's the deal with Blitzwing & wanting to take out voice boxes ? 😂

I dont care about what anyone has to say, Im considering this canon

Stunning, man. Just stunning. A delightful companion piece to my favourite Transformers movie!

This is definitely what I wanted to see from the Optimus Prime Movie if it wasn’t shelved.

Now That's one way to put together an Optimus Prime Movie. AWESOME WORK TFI CREATIONS! :D

Optimus breaks free and shoots Megatron Megatron: Damm it Starscream I told you to get rid of that thing

i like how you changed the hue/saturation for the blitzwings

Can’t wait for this to be retconned. XD

That is so Impressive man! The effects are crystal clear and the Animation is so fluid!! Keep it up! That is 100 times better!! Synopsis: The story takes place in Cybertron, much later after Bumblebee arrives in Earth. This shows how Optimus Prime escapes from Cybertron, after being surrounded by Decepticons in the flashback in the Bumblebee movie.

I wish bee just said “nah (record scratch) you’re coming with me (record scratch)” and just grabbed Charlie and transformed,then took her with prime ;-;

Oh... cameos by the MP10 and G1 figures! Seriously though, this is brilliant- a really good story about what else was happening while Bee was on earth.

Apologize that I couldn't write my thoughts when this was released due my life schedule but here it is. From the moment I saw your announcement on FB about this I was super excited to see this and I love it! I always wondered what happened to Optimus during that flashback scene in Bumblebee but you guys had your own vision and made it into a reality. The action scene was perfect him going against the seekers, letting us see Shockwave, Soundwave, Dropkick, Shatter and Megatron! I love it! I always wonder what will Megatrons design will be in Bumblebee but I always said to myself "Maybe close to his G1 design." I actually never thought that Prime would be captured by the cons when he was surrounded by the cons I thought he would "take them all on!" But getting him captured and we see the fear that Prime has. The fear that his Autobots will be captured is just perfect. Also I love it that you guys combined when Prime was sending his message to his young scout while Bumblebee was fighting Blitzwing was good. Especially seeing Bumblebees POV inside his mask was super good! And hands down for letting us see"Prime journey to Earth searching for his Autobots and especially scanning his flat nose truck and rolling out was perfect! And I really love that you added the post credit scene of Bumblebee and adding more dialogue to it in this short. Claps from my hands at home well done! I'll never stop re-watching this. Hahahahahah. I can't wait to see Roll Out 2 and more future Transformers stories that you guys are working on.

I just hope the next movie after Bumblebee is a follow-up titled “The Transformers” which be an official reboot of the film series after the Michael Bay movies.

In my opinion, is the best video you have ever made. Bumblebee is my favorite bot

"that may be so. But I accomplished something you only wished you could.... BECOMING A PRIME!" that gave me goosebumps Edit: is there going to be a part 2

6:15 cuts to Blitzwing remains

ahhhh. Another Movie on Bumblebee. Nicely work done TFI Creations. Keep it up! I hope it would be great when Roll Out 2 comes

Sadly this isn’t canon to the movie, would be nice

Bumblebee has easily become my favorite movie ever, but I did know that many fans wanted to see an explanation for how Optimus got out of his predicament when fighting the entire Decepticon army. I thought this was a really interesting and well-written take on that scene!! I love how you even went as far to show how Megatron felt about Optimus’s plan to send the other Autobots to other planets and how, when he captures him, expresses his desire to, in his perspective, “make things right”, highlighted even by other Decepticons like Blitzwing when he goes to kill Bumblebee. Adding this to the story does a whole lot to dive into Optimus and Megatron’s relationship in the past, and, if the movie’s writers lean into this in the sequel, may have set up their future conflicts they will face against each other! Well done again, TFI!! 👍🏻 (P.S: Sorry I’m getting these comments out late, I just never truly processed my thoughts on all your projects until now and was ready to share my opinions.)

Best stop motion ever, and great voice acting especially soundwave

If we're gonna be stuck with you guys making the movies for a few years, I'm not even gonna be disapointed.

The only issue I have with this is that the Deceptions know where Bee was, when Shatter and Dropkick found about primes plan, but you could also say that they didn’t know that it had a larger significance

Seriously TFI you guys could do a 10 hour movie about anything Tformers and I wouldnt get bored for real you guys all rock I look forward to more videos

This is the best ever I love this thank you for making this

Nicely done guys. your photography work and editing is admirable.

4:58 BlitzWing: DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE?! Me: Why am I here ._.

shot by a strong decepticon: normal autobot: dead after 1 bullet. optimus prime: wakes up again and kills him. cuz optimus cant die

This could work as an actual movie but I had an idea that while Prime is knocked out cold, the movie would be a flashback to the past of when he was Orion Pax and the beginning of the war leading to the events of the Cybertron scene from Bumblebee.

I really love the concept of your stop motion videos I love how unique they are like TF Interstellar and Escape from Earth, And I love that in these stop motions you focus on missing parts of some of the bay films and also focusing on plot rather than a lot of explosions and stuff in the background. Overall your stop motions are really great KEEP IT UP

This is a Awesome video making your own tie in to Bumblebee keep up the amazing work

4:14 wouldove been better if Megatron said "you were a clerk when i met you AND YOUR BE RUST WHEN IM DONE WITH YOU!"

Ok I’ll be honest, I was never keen on the reboot for the fact that I actually grew up with the bay films but this is just awesomeness and I couldn’t find a better way travis knight would of explained this, I hope you make more movies just like interstellar because right now you are one of my favourite youtubers, carry on bro.

Once again, your videos never cease to amaze! Voice acting and editing is awesome as all hell! I pray this compliment finds you.

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL , honestly your videos are always so emotional and heartfelt , I was really getting the emotional hit at the end , I can't wait to see what you do in the future aswell as what happens in the future now that bumblebee has given us hope

atleast we have this extremely well done fan made one im happy with it

You want to know something,. I’m early, and this is epic

Woaow, realistic scenes, cool work man, going up!!!

Megatron: “You could never last a moment in the Pit!!” Optimus Prime: “And you could never last a moment in a library.” Autobot: “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!” ABMLR Productions: “LOL, best line ever.”

I'm very very impressed of your voice actors every time. They are so good and fit perfectly on the Characters! 👍🏼

Amazing work as always. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

This is canon for me for the reboot, also i really loved how you executed Soundwave's monotone voice, Soundwave's voice in anything always leaves me in awe.

incredible work i love how you used the 3rd party figures now all we need is a Optimus Prime solo movie with your directions

Quite the film. Amazing job

Love the dialogues Very strong !!! Well done TFI CREATION!!

That was the most beautiful video I ever watched in my life. EXCELLENT.

Did you actually have a bunch of blitzwings or did you edit them in

The production you make makes me happy

Not a bad short film, @TFI Creations. I'm amazed you got this out so fast after the teaser trailer, and packed more content than I think I could in ten minutes. Congratulations.

A beautiful video, keep doing such a great job!

Tfi creations showing the world who is boss!!such good quality, epic story, epic figures, every detail in this video is just perfect!! Keep up with the great job

If Optimus could so easily break out of those chains, why didn't he do it before?

This is so good my dude 👌

This guy got tired of waiting for the Optimus solo movie and said fuck it I’ll do it myself

Somebody mentioned me on here... Yes, this IS quality work. I'd love to hire this special effects team department to join me on MY future stop-motion projects!

This was amazing!!!! Loved it!

This is how the Prime movie would be

This was pretty great! ... though now I wanted to see that conversation between Megs, Shatter, and Dropkick. I dunno, I just felt like that would have been interesting as well. :3

Blitzwing : *voice acts like triggered boss with failed employees, hears they're about to get fired by the CEO* then lets make it official. Loved it, better than Bay and Travis Knight combined

This is amazing!

This rules , I love it !! First Interstellar and now this ! Well done !

Absolutely wonderful! Excellent work my friend.

I actaully wanted to see prime find cliffjumper and see the autobots that made it to earth

Sweet! Awesome work dude

3:28 Megatron s wicked smile 😆😆😆

Hey awesome work on this one, this gives me a little more inspiration for my own Optimus Prime solo film that I am writing.

This could be a real good 30 min film IRL, you have to pitch this to hasbro

You sir made an excellent prequel to an already fantastic movie can't wait for rise of the beast in June. So have a great day and till all are one TFI
