I love reading all of your stories. It means a lot to me how many of you can relate. We’re all connected by our love of Transformers and you are all so brave for sharing your stories here.
Where all even if we dont show it are gald and happy you got trow somuch and look at you now a great person a alsome youtuber Dont forget we all care about you 👍 and it's more than meets the eye
We’re alaways here for you never stop trying my friend. Autobots role out and hit that like bell thank you tfi I loves you things just keep being you bro
For pretty much my entire life I've had to deal with depression and anxiety, where multiple times I thought and tried to end my own life, but it's the special people in my life that have stopped me from doing the worst of the worst, this really kinda connects with the things I go through
-You gotta have faith prime,in what we can be. I am sorry if this isn’t original but this quote helped me to go though a lot,and still does.I didn’t had friends at school,people made fun of me for things that I loved,but star wars and transformers helped me to go though
I have been bullied for loving Transformers, they always picked on me in the classrooms, cafeteria, and recess. My dad was never in my life but Optimus was a father-figure in my childhood, he's so kind, loving, and caring. I wish I can hug him and tell him thank you. Thank you for being a caring father, thank you for being there for me in my darkest hours, thank you Peter Cullen, Till All Are One.(Primus, I was about to tear up while I was typing my comment.)
Same here since 6th grade so I hidden that I loved transformers until I met this grind who loved transformers too and he didn’t care about what others say so I did the same ever since.
Dang it I wish I could end the like count with a 69 hehe also hi Johnny and thank you for being here as well your remake of megatrons fight with optimus just was amazing
Same here just came back to watch this video months after my first time seeing it that part with Peter makes me cry I can’t help it because I’ve been through everything he has in one way or another
We love you, Sam. You are a beautiful human being and I am so lucky to have met you. Thank you for choosing me to accompany you as we make our way though the stars.
You are by far a hero to all of us that feel alone depressed, bullied anxiety! You are so brave and I am glad your here and the world needs you! As Peter said "Optimus Prime" That took a lot of guts and I know how hard it must have been for you to tell this to all that watch your channel. Never ever feel that your not worth it. I think everyone in some moment of life feels worthless. I have felt that way many times and what also gets me through my dark times is Transformers. Enjoying what you do in life and creating these amazing stories for all that are a fan of all Transformers is what matters most. Never give up on yourself! I am so happy for you being able to accomplish so much and your meeting Peter Cullen. One of my dreams to meet both Peter and Frank. But you were meant to meet him and I think you are so amazing to open up your personal struggles to Peter Cullen especially. It was meant to be that your here and meeting him. I am sure he was honored to have you tell him how his character saved your life. We all need a hero like Optimus Prime, But........ We all need a hero like you to be able to help others see that they are not alone! You truly inspire me and your struggles in life brought me to tears. God Bless you!!!!!
You are a prime example of why the transformers community is one of the best fandoms. Unlike most toxic fan boys that rant and fight over reddit and Twitter. We are extremely United and kind towards other fans. Keep up your amazing work. You've truly put your place in the most passionate transformers youtubers
General Grievous tfi helped me out a lot from me watching his vids. Speaking of being bullied I was bullied a lot still am sadly but only two years of high school and I don’t have to get bullied no more.
Heres a hint with bullies tell them to f**k off ik it's not easy I used to be bullied to but I stood up to them and punched one and not bullied no more trust bro standing up for yourself will make you feel a lot better
@@crazytyler5372 the bully-time is over. And i got One rule: Everyone who Punch me one time, get two punches back! Sorry for my bad english, i'm not from England.....
We all have our struggles we're never fully prepared to encounter, and I've also had my dark moments. I even get anxiety frequently, so I understand that fully. What gets me through the day is finding no point for an end, and just seeing what my life is like. I'm glad to have family and friends, and even viewers to support. It's interesting, as how crumby CZcams has been, having the ability to reach out and create has done so much for myself, honestly. You know something interesting, the inspirations you had recieved in the creation of your projects sorta had a turn around, because now you're one of my inspirations. Thanks for opening up about you, I know it can be hard, but I'm glad you decided to do this.
True, however Peter Cullen has given each Transformers fan one Optimus prime. (God forbid) Even if anything happens to Mr.Cullen a new prime shall rise......as it doesn't matter whether our Voice matches him ; the only thing that matters is that the character of optimus will find a way through our darkest hours. So then the new prime will rise from one of fans. Remember what Mr.Cullen would say " Do not grief over my end , for in my spark I know that that this is not the end . "
@@optimusprime9724 without Peter this franchise wouldn't even exist and I'm thankful that this franchise exists and thanks for the reply Optimus prime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@optimusprime9724 if peter cullen does pass on I'm gonna be playing the music *that* scene from the g1 movie and if u dont know what I'm talking about it's the death bed scene
I cannot believe I’m just now noticing this video. Literally everything you said in this hit home for me. When dark moments would find its way in my life, I would think of the bravery and resilience of Optimus Prime, and hearing his voice in my head, would get me through it. Even the moments where I was going to end it all, the character of Prime was my rock. Peter Cullen is the very embodiment of that voice and that character. I’m so happy that you got the chance to meet him. I hope one day I will get the honor to as well. Thank you for sharing your story and opening up to the community. That indeed takes guts. ❤️💙
"I knew it was helping me and that's all that mattered." There is a power in that statement that could move mountains. I don't want to sound cliche or like other people but your strength is truly inspiring. Truthfully speaking, I have been a fan of the Transformers franchise since I was five, and being 23 now, I look back and acknowledge how positively it has influenced me, my mentality, and overall outlook on things, especially Optimus Prime. That said, you really sucked me in with this one, man. Admittedly choked up at the 7:12 mark, but I'm not sad. I'm actually really happy to know that there's someone out there who shares my passion for Transformers, and the passion of thousands of others, and that someone showed more strength in a single moment than most could in years. I'm happy you're alive :)
4:42 I had the exact same thing happen to me. I became a diehard TF fan when I listened to Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons which made me officially take my first steps to becoming a die-hard TF fan. I loved the bayfilms and bumblebee no matter who said anything about it. Now, TransFormers is my LIFE! Your stop-motion TF movies are absolutely life-changing. The Best TF youtuber EVER!
Also speaking people trying to take their own life that happened to me in the past me trying to do that in the past. It was in 2018 last year. It went on from January to March. I couldn’t take the bullying anymore in my childhood I pretended to be a CZcamsr called the real name show. It’s not what it was called it only says real name show cause I don’t want to tell my real name anyway. I than made a CZcams channel and that’s when I stopped trying to take my own life. This comment shows that I know how it feels with stuff like that. Anyway I’m still not doing self harm again. Also it’s a but cliched so here stay here the world needs you it takes guts. Sorry if the comment is too depressing.
I feel a little bit the same I have anxiety every type of dyslexia and claustrophobia depression but yours honestly sounds worst than my stuff when you created hot spot I related to him so much thank you for helping me with my disorder thank you for what you do you are the my inspiration you are the light in my spark.
Transformers has helped me through my own dark days of mental health issues as well. I’m very proud of you for speaking as I know from experience it’s not easy
I'm honestly so proud of you and how far you've come. You would of never done something like this years ago. You have overcome so much and I'm so happy that you've been as strong as you are because it's been one hell of a ride being your friend and I've loved every step of it. You deserve all the good things that come your way Sam. I love you cap.
My God dude.. this hit home, I love transformers and they have been my thing for a while, I feel you when u talked abt this, I love ur videos and I love you dude, ur a amazing stop motion person, ur a perfect person for that, if I had a freind like u, that would be amazing, bc ur so amazing and cool with what u do, whoever bullied u are nothing and they dont see how much is in you, I'm sorry for u but dude ur great at what u do and I'll always support u
It’s ok, we all have hardships sometimes but at the end of the day, we gotta help each other become better people. Thank you for the nice stop motions you have given us. Thank you for reaching out. You gave us a connection no one else does to a CZcams channel. You’ve given us a very nice connection to Transformers and for that, we thank you.
Thanks for sharing your story! Peter Cullen is one of the kindest individuals I've been graced with meeting. Keep doing what you're doing! Our world DOES need you!
This had me, I am also going through this right now as my mother passed away. Thank you for being here doing these videos, you are an inspiration and just thank you.
I feel for you man. I have absolutely no one in my personal life who has the same interests as me. Transformers and Predator are my favorite things of all time, and no one around me understands my love for them. The character of Optimus Prime has and always will be my inspiration to do the right thing, even if it meant that doing what I loved lost me my friends. I think I can safely speak for everyone here, but it absolutely warms my heart at how everyone in the TF community seems to get along and complement one another one their projects. I have made a few videos myself (not a self-promotion) and have gotten nothing but love and positive feedback on my very small channel and it gives me so much hope and confidence that there ARE people out there who care and have the same interests as me. Your videos are astounding Samuel, and give people so much joy including me, and to everyone reading this, thank you and till are one.
Whenever I am depressed, I watch this vid and everything is suddenly better. And am glad you told me your stories. "We've Suffered Losses, But We've Not Lost The War." -Optimus Prime
There’s people out there watching your movies and feeling the same positivity and energy you felt when you watched TF Prime etc. Your work makes people happy, it brings joy to people. You’re making a difference, no matter what you think. Keep it up bro, and keep your head held high, you have so much to be proud of.
You really brought me to tears when you talked about meeting Peter Cullen. I too struggle with anxiety and depression and I've certainly had panic attacks prevent me from everyday life. And while Transformers doesn't necessarily cure my disorders, they're always there when I need some confidence.
hey dude i never have been through all of this, but this vid made me so emotional. your story was not of a coward, or a victim or of some wimpy kid. it was of a fighter. YOU, my friend are a fierce and a strong fighter just like optimus prime,and i can bet on it. TFI creations have made some of the most best stop motions on youtube, but this is the most character-oriented, story line based and realistic stop motion channel. and this story makes me to salute you because facing all these problems and standing up no matter what, i must say that really takes a lot of guts. please keep making more videos and i pray to god that you always be there with us. our world needs you and optimus prime will wreak havoc if you leave sorry, just got a bit emotional thanks for everything!!! :)
I struggle with Depression, Anxiety, Mood swings and PTSD. I've been through a lot of shit in my life, and I did plan to take my own life almost 2 years ago. Transformers and Optimus are one of the things that helped me fight through Hell and light my darkest hour. Transformers saved me from the dark, twice. Proud to be a Transformers fan, and always will be for all eternity.
Sometimes I will just take a transformer doesn’t matter who but just pick it up and transform it to calm me down. I feel like Optimus is a live saving inspiration to countless people, and I understand why, especially after this video.
Awesome and touching video man.I'm the biggest Transformers fanboy in my country Malaysia.Ever since I became a fan of Transformers in 2007 did'nt just make an official fan of this franchise,it also improve myself,my lifestyle,my family and friends relationship and communications and my life problems in High School.My life in a High School was very hard and struggle.I have been bullied,accused,and a broke up relationship with my girlfriend because of a cruel and nasty guy.I wasn't my happy with my life in high school and everytime I came back from school,I was crying in my room and never shared my problems.Thankfully my parents comfort me and my parents buy me a Transformers figure for me to cheered me up and make me feel happy.And they did.My mom and dad said " Here Afzal, we know you love Transformers so we want to buy something to make you feel happy".I thanked them and cried while hugged them.Also when I was standard 4,I waited for my aunty to come to my house to watched Transformers Animated cartoon on Sunday because last time she came for a sleepover at my house and we watched Transformers Animated Megatron Rising Part 1 before she went back to her house.But on that day,she can't come because she has an emergency and I was worried for who is going to watch Transformers Animated with me.Until my dad comfort me and he said that he accompany me downstairs watching Transformers Animated with me and we both loved the show.Even in my University that I'm in right now,I struggle with assignments,lost of friends,online scamming,part time jobs,projects.I struggle alot that I talked with my friend that I always feel sad,depressed and want to take my own life.My friend put his hand on my shoulder and sad to me " Afzal,if you don't want to feel sad,depressed,or still thinking about the girl that you used love,go do something that you love like you're collecting Transformers figures ".But I told him that some of his friend or my friends in MSU will laughed at me if I collected Transformers figures.He said " It's okay,Afzal.No one is going to laughed at you because that is what you loved to do,it's your hobby,that is what makes you feel happy Afzal.So if you like your hobby collecting Transformers figures,go ahead,we understand that's your hobby".After that he told me that,I thanked him and the next day after my final class finish early in afternoon,I go for my prayers first,had lunch and go to Toysrus at my nearest shopping mall to get me another Transformers Studio Series figure for my collection and that is Studio Series World War 2 Bumblebee.I felt happy and proud that I deserved this figure.After I went back to my apartment,my roommates bring some of his friends over for assignment and I thought they will laughed at me.But they don't.They amaze at the figure I bought and we start taking photos of it.Transformers is not just a franchise that I loved,but it's a franchise that is very important for me as a kid and adult,to my family and my friends.I absolutely ❤ Transformers.
This was an amazing video dude I haven't suffered with most of the things you struggled with but I was bullied a lot and still am to this very day, not as much but it still makes an impact. Just like you I've always had a character I identified with Wheeljack! He was always there for me through the really rough times. And especially the Transformers Prime incarnation just like you that was a big help for me getting through the bullying, he continues to help me get through some of those awful comments I get everyday! This really motivated me because I make stopmotions too and you e just helped me Soo much thank you TFI creations you just helped me out a whole lot man!
Wow. That was very... moving. I really feel like crying right now because of how mad relatable this is. Being born with autism, life is pretty scary and difficult for me. And I, have contemplated suicide on several occasions, and I have suffered panic attacks and meltdowns. Optimus Prime truly is my hero. And I'm just grateful to grow up with Transformers, because it's not just a show or franchise... Transformers made me the man I am.
Im so glad that you overcame your problems, and Im so glad of the people who support and relate to you. My God, this comment section combined with this video is making me cry.
How I only just saw this? :O dude I'm in tears and I'm sorry that you through all that bullying and turmoil :( I know that darkness well as today I still go through it, that being a lot to do with trauma and overthinking from various past events. And of course attempted a couple of times to end my life. But, like yourself I heard the words and inspiration of Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and on those days of negativity I tend to watch videos of Optimus Prime' to help me through it. And your videos from the TFI team there are inspiring moments too. I really hope to meet Peter Cullen one day because honestly I need to tell him that he is important to me that he has saved me too like a lot of people. In a world where right now appears more divided it's now even more important that we stick together. For All Are One.
TFI, thank you so much for inspiring me to make my own stop motion and to keep pushing on even though I want to quit. I remember my early days watching your Transformers Interstellar videos every single day, waiting for the next episode released while thinking, " I want to be like this guy when I'm older." You pretty much are one of the main reasons I got into transformers. I am so grateful for your inspiration to others including me. Thank you for making my childhood.
Optimus Prime has always been my hero since I was kid and remains to this day, even in high school and to this day I’m referred to as Prime and that’s only because i follow Optimus’s example. Trust, Compassion, Honour, Integrity. It amazes me how one character can change lives as well as save them, I hope to meet Peter Cullen one day but through Optimus Prime I feel I already have. Keep up your amazing work, because so long as our love for Optimus Prime remains, all are one.
Peter was right Sam we need you and not all for your amazing work but as a friend in the yt community you are. A really good person you make such smooth stop motions you inspired Many people including myself my mam didn't treat me right so I live with my dad in a different country but when all of that was happening I just stayed calm and watched you Sam your amazing I'm staying to work on a stop motion myself for you and I'll even do a drawing for you you deserve it and it's not just me who thinks your amazing so dose every 36k of us do love u man keep up the work 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
My son is second generation Transformers fan and we both are diagnosed with anxiety and depression. He sent me a link to this video and it truly hit home. He wants to do stop motion and I have done one little one with Sideswipe to try it out. I also was bullied in school back in G1 days in the 80's. I hear you sir and glad you are still here as well. My thanks for your courage in making this video and making me jealous of your collection. My G1 collection of over 200 Transformers sold 19 years ago for $4300 on ebay... Til all are one.
I almost cried ! I have been a fan of the Transformers Franchise since I was 7 and seeing this video...it moved me so much ! I wish you much good luck for your channel. TILL ALL ARE ONE !!!
Opening up is very hard, and it’s nice to see that your tackling your problems head on, and that your very passionate about what your doing. I myself suffer with a lot with depression and anxiety as well, I’ve suffered with it all my life, but one of the main things that gets me through it is watching and collecting transformers. Granted growing up a lot of people tended to scoff at my interests and as a result I wasn’t the most popular, but the best thing about being an adult now is that their isn’t anyone to tell you how to think and how to feel. I wish you the best in your future endeavours and can’t wait until rollout 3! On a side note, I WAS AT THAT PETER CULLEN EVENT TOO. that was Toronto Fan Expo 2019 I believe, the Peter Cullen Experience I got my G1 reissue signed by him, I flew all the way from eastern Canada to see him, he was awesome! If I had of known you were there I would’ve thanked you for the work you put into this stuff in person lol.
I grew up watching Transformers Prime, that show got me thru a lot of things in my life, Prime is the best Transformers show out there, i am glad to see someone out there who care about Transformers Prime as much as I do
I may have shed a tear watching your video and wanted to give you a big hug. I felt a little bit the same when I was in third year junior high school I suffered from extreme sadness and loneliness but yours were way worst than mine. I did have friends during my third year but during that year I felt I was all alone or a shadow. All I had were literally Transformers or my fandom in general. When Roll Out was released I was super surprised that Hot Spot had these conditions that a human will have and never saw that a Transformer can have those emotions. But I remembered what Jack, Miko and Raf said to each other in the first episode of TF Prime. "Robots who get dizzy? Robots with emotion." And "Robots who can die." Regardless of their height or where they're from, they are human in the inside. I just want to say thank you for creating Hot Spots story. That really helped me throughout my third year junior high school life. Thank you especially for allowing me to create the "Roll Out A Transformers Film Music Video." And especially the "Transformers Interstellar Remake | Phoenix| Music Video." Watching your films, series and making their music videos they really help me if I'm down in the dumps. If I'm watching your films I would literally get my figures copy and play with my figures while watching your series or film. Until today sometimes I still suffer from confusion with my feelings like in some point in time I'll be sad or I just don't know anymore. Sharing your story really helped me. I really can't thank you enough. Thank you! Especially, what Peter Cullen said to you was beautiful. And I didn't expect that you will say it as well by the end of this video. That really hit my heart. Thank you for saying that man. Thank you.
It takes courage to bear your soul as you did here. You are stronger than you know. You may look back on the bad times in your life, but never forget you got through them. You're here and you're appreciated. Noones life is perfect. There's no shame in asking for help. There's no shame in being who you are. You have a decent and genuine vibe to you and people will and do respect you for it. I wish you and the other people who have shared on these comments all the best. You deserve happiness.
By the time the video ended, I was in tears. Because I have also dealt with so much for so many years, but instead of Transformers it was a different show at the time. Growing up, I had ADHD and would later on develop a speech delay that would give me and my social skills a hard time. And everyday, I stayed quiet while being filled with so much anxiety, knowing I was afraid of messing up my interactions with people. And at the time, I was also dealing with so much loss on friends and family members and would later be dealing with so many responsibilities that I was afraid of doing. The show I grew up watching to this very day was made by Disney called Gargoyles. This wasn't your typical show where it was always family friendly. But while it showed some hits of family-friendly content, the show gave off a dark theme and became keen of storytelling where they would feature inspirations of Medieval magic and fantasy, science fiction, Shakspeare, and the love for adventure. There was a character I could personally relate to, and he was named Goliath. Not only was he a leader, but he also dealt with several struggles. He experienced betrayal, loss of his family, trust issues, and responsibilities of being a leader. He is one of the fewest characters that I can relate to on a personal level. I'm sorry that you had to deal with so much, but I am very happy that you were able to make it through so much. You are an amazing individual, and may your stories continue to be spectacular.
I think you have already found your purpouse in life. It's making this amazing stop-motion films and sharing your passion with us! Glad you're here friend!
I just came back from trying out Roll Out, and... This broke me. It just broke me more than it ever could, which means that you have done your job right. When I saw the film, I was about to cry on the attempt scene. Keep up the good work, and till all are one.
This video speaks to me because Optimus Prime has and always will be one of if not the best Heroes of all time, Prime spoke to me he was someone who I could look up to. His firm but commanding voice had a sense of friendliness,Prime has always been someone who was willing to lay down his life for his teammates and others, that’s why I’m not a huge fan of bayformers because Bay thought Prime should be a blood thirsty killer with no remorse. But I know how you feel about Optimus, I wish the people at paramount would realize how much potential Prime has for his own movie. Prime will always be a leader, honorable warrior, and honestly friend. I love Optimus Prime I will never forget him even when the world seems to hate everything we do and love Prime will be there riding the eye of the storm cause we all got the touch!
TILL ALL ARE ONE. Stay here, stand proud, Transform your world. I met Peter, I understand the profound presence he has and how his heart welcomes us when we shake his hand. Subscribed.
I cried multiple times watching that video, I can relate to you in multiple ways, you’ve gone through a lot of things and so have I, you’re a huge inspiration for my series, it would be a miracle to have you help out with it, you’re the best!
Thank you for sharing your story, I understand you, I've been bullied everyday back in middle school, I also had suicidal thoughts but in 2023 when I saw Transformers Rise of the beast in theaters I loved it, Transformers G1 was the show that kept me going, especially G1 Optimus Prime and your Roll Out series really touched me. It's nice to know im not the only one who once had the same struggles. Thank you for making this video, your words really touched me. 😊
I'm Glad You're Still Here and I Hope you and Everybody else Continues to Stay Here Please Because the People around You still need You more than You Know.
I am retired now and went through times of emptiness. I am feeling better because I have started collecting transformers thanks to my 7-year-old grandson! We both enjoy transforming the figures.
I may have a decepticon profile, but Peter cullen is right. The world needs you and your talent should not be wasted. I myself have had the same troubles from elementary all up to high school. And i may not have any videos but i can assure you that with all you have on your channel has made me inspired from ranges of making my own Transformers figurines to even making my own characters! But YOU my friend have the touch and you got the power!
Wow, thanks for sharing that. I LOVED Roll Out! It was such an amazing production, and and even greater story. Good for you man. I'm so glad you were able to get through hard times. Screw what people think of you, just keep doing what you need to live a good life. Geez Peter Cullen is a freakin' hero. The more I learn about him, the more I love the man.
I can tell you are a true fan the transformers changed many lives including lives you are a special keep believing keep doing what you are doing because you are your greatest work man im so glad i found this channel.
I may have not had mental disorders. However, I too have been bullied and I was a huge Transformers fan since the very beginning (1984). G1 Optimus was my hero and a great inspiration to me. I grew up having an abusive Father who was also abusive towards my Mother. G1 was an inspiration to me because I loved his ideals of protecting the weak and being compassionate towards others. Optimus was my inspiration to not become the person my Father was. I too met Peter Cullen earlier this year at Toycon here in Las Vegas. He is a wonderful man and actually kind of funny. When I met him I thanked him for making Optimus my Hero. I was unemployed at the time of Peter Cullen and I was dismissed by my previous job for something I did not do. Thinking of my meeting with Peter Cullen got me through the tough year of not being employed. Thank you for sharing this as I can identify with being bullied and being a Transformers fan as well. Please know there are others like you and there is strength in knowing that there are others who have fought almost the same battles you have. You have a new subscriber and a new friend. Till all are one
i legitly cried with this, you know i been seeing you sience 2012 with your spidey fan films and now seeing all of your story it really nakes me happy i encountred you all those years ago maybe you'll see this or maybe not but all i want to say to you is thank you samuel for showing me that i could make my own stories of my favorite characters and franchises and you will always have my support for any project and idea you have
I can’t say anything for you that you do a great job! You show this universe in a different way! In your way! This is what matters! I do stop motions in Hungary, but nowadays I have demotivation for this (not english unfortunatley). After I watched your video. I will continue my story! I can say that in the name of the whole TF community members....... Thank you to show us these amazing stories! And you gave us motivations for everything! Thanks to you and the TFI crew members. Big love from Hungary!
Inspiring video. It's sad to hear all the bad things you've been through. If there is one thing I will never regret is knowing the universe of Transformers. A universe with a lot of passionate fans, with amazing characters and stories. The first Transformers movie by Michael Bay was the thing that approached me to this world, Transformers Prime is still today my favourite show, G1 is legend. Glad to be apart of this community! TILL ALL ARE ONE!
I really am glad you're here. Your passion shows in the things you make, and I hope you go big in it. Me and my 10 Optimus Prime figures salute you. Love ya.
Also I don't even care if people, internet critics and movie reviews acused,bullied or mocked me because I love Transformers movies.I don't give a damn for what they said.The Transformers franchise made me feel happy,fill with joy and excitement,great family bonding,made alot of great and awesome friends,but most importantly,The Transformers franchise helped me when I feel stressed,sad,mental breakdown,and life problems.Because whenever I cried or depressed,I have my Transformers to make me feel happy again.
Now I see the inspirations from your videos. Bro imagine if you had ended your life earlier, who would made interstellar, roll out and the list goes on. I'm glad you lived😊
My world needs you.This is heart warming. Sometimes i am depressed i get trough of it.We all come for zero to hero.Im proud of my work it was also not that good now it is a masterpiece.All of our heroes are in our hearts.Be safe and roll out.
Optimus Prime is always a great role model. He's a bot who cares for his Autobots, the people he protects, and has the best one liners ever. As well as the touch. And the power. TFI, thanks for making your stuff, and keep on doing it! Til all are one.
I understand you man, I've been through similar things. You know, most people in my country don't know how this franchise looks like outside of the Michael Bay films, so I've been very bullied for liking Transformers. It's extremely humiliating to be an 18 year old guy looking for a Siege Prime in a toy store around here. I used to feel very lonely, until one day I decided to create a profile on the internet and started interacting with other fans around the world, and I started to feel good, I realized I wasn't alone. Listening to stories like this really thrills me. Be strong my friend, you are not alone.
I absolutely love your content and especially this video! I can also relate that Transformers has saved me. Tf was always a staple in my life and was my 3rd tattoo at 18. I fell bad into alcoholism for the better part of a decade and thanks to tf i have healthy hobbies and relationships. 30yrs old, sober, and a tf collector. Also, take a tf with you everywhere you go. I've had a tf toy with me by my side since I was 4yrs old. It wasn't until 3 years ago I realized how important has been to my mental health. Much love to you my brotha.
Thank you for your powerful story! I didn't think I could like Peter Cullen any more oh, but I was wrong. Having grown up in the 80s I started with Transformers the original. And have found strength from the show myself. Thank you again for your story. New subscriber!😎👍
transformers my childhood ❤️🔥 keep your head up king i never fit in neither used to always get picked on wearing my transformers bookbag but if anything standing out from the masses is a blessing in disguise 🙏🏻
Ok, at the first: I think Optimus would be very proud of you. And I'm serious about this! Thank you to be so honest with us. Your fans. 👍🏼 I saw much of your films (maybe you recognise me from some comments) and I was often impressed by the meaning of the Storys. And now everything make sense. I'm very happy about your strength to STAY HERE. And I hope you will keep making this wonderful films. Everyone has an destiny. I think you found yours. And please: Enjoy your life! That's what I just wanted to say Your fan from the far germany 😊😅
Wow. I had no idea about the amount of mental disorders you were diagnosed with. I, for one, have had asperger's since I was 3, and I have had moments when I have wanted to enact revenge on those who do injustice either to me or someone I care about. And at times, I have contemplated suicide and giving up on life. But every time, I stop right as I am about to pull the trigger. And each time, I remember that it is only temporary. And a permanent solution to a temporary problem will do no good, especially when regarding taking one's own life. Thank you for sharing your story, my friend. We're all here for you.
I can relate myself to you in those similar situations, TFI Creations. I have lost my mother at the age of 9 in late 2001, and I put all my focus on the cartoons from Cartoon Network, one of them being Transformers: Armada, which was when I first heard about it. I was fascinated by the idea of good robots vs evil robots taking their war from Cybertron to Earth, and that was my introduction to the franchise before high school, along with a little bit of the G1 Cartoon from the 1980s including the 1986 movie. Also, my disability that I was diagnosed with at birth is Autism, and nobody but my family understood me then. I was having a difficult struggle in life without my mom In 2007, after I graduated from Jr. High School, my cousin took me to see the first Transformers live-action movie on the 23rd of July. I was surprised by it Around my first year of high school, I was not getting along well with everybody. I was the New Kid on the Block, who is actually an outcast around both school and home for the first two and a half months. I had Star Wars to keep me sane. But when my 15th birthday arrived on November 1st, I got Transformers 2007 as an unexpected gift. I have been watching it every day after school ever since. In 2008, I met this very special and beautiful girl in 6th Period Class, and I suddenly related the both of us to Samuel James Witwicky and Mikaela banes from the first Transformers movie. Me and my classmates are family-friends now, but meeting her was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole entire life Speaking of being bullied, I was bullied around my Sophomore Year in HS from October of 2008 until it ended in April 2009. Not only was I bullied at school, I was also bullied by my big brother at home. I did see Revenge of the Fallen 2009 on the 8th of July with my cousin, but I rejected it for my 17th birthday because I felt like I didn’t need it at all. I soon discovered otherwise that Transformers is my destiny as a teenager becoming a young adult. My Junior Year was rough, but I was able to borrow a copy of Transformers 2 from my cousin and watch it whenever I felt like it Around my Senior Year, which is a true charm, I met a good friend who had the same interests as I did. I even got Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 2009 as a graduation gift and to prepare myself for the third movie After graduating high school, I saw the third film, Dark of the Moon, on the 4th of July in 2011 and got it for my 19th birthday As the years 2011-2014 passed, I saw the 4th TF film, Age of Extinction on the Opening Day, June 27th of 2014, and it exceeded my expectations back then. Not only that, I played the War for and Fall of Cybertron games as well. But around mid-September of 2014, I lost my dad to suicide, and that is when my struggles against both depression and anxiety began. I was able to see the fifth and final Bayver movie, The Last Knight, on June 19th in 2017. It was a failure, a first in the franchise. But not even that stopped me from loving the film. I just hope the future of the franchise will still help me with moving forward in life I’ve had moments on why Life isn’t working well for me, I even had thoughts of suicide as well. But I was able to talk to my grandfather and friends about it, and that seemed to help me out. I have worried that I was not needed for any purpose anymore. But I gave it some thought, and I discovered that everybody I knew still need me You are not the only one who is struggling with Life itself. Everbody, including me, has this problem I am a huge Transformers fan ever since 2007, and I believe that this franchise has saved my life at a young age and it will keep me alive and help me keep moving forward no matter what I wish I could meet Peter Cullen. Not only that, I also wish I could meet Michael Bay as well. I want to thank them both for creating an action movie franchise that saved my life ever since I was a teenager who has had many problems in the past and thank them for giving me a future of imagination that is worth looking forward to Thank you TFI Creations for being here today at this moment of darkness, and thank you for creating your CZcams channel for us TF fans to watch your clips and enjoy. If you ever felt like you needed somebody to talk to, I am your guy
Thank you for sharing your story. It means a lot that you were able to relate to myself and many others. We’re all in this together and even in our darkest hours, we’re never alone.
@@TFICreations You're welcome for me sharing my story and how I can relate to you, and thank you for understanding me and where I come from. We are all in this together and never alone. No matter how dark the hours of time are, there will always be a spark of light for hope for us all
Dude ik I'm late but I could've commented aearlier but your channel means so much to me you're insanely talented and you and your VAs like Jobby and Zach make great things with this channel and I'm glad you're still here
Optimus Prime changed my life in a massive way when I was 5, hated life and I just wanted it to be over already cause of the things I was going through at the time. My only companion at the time was my pillow but then Transformers came out and when I saw Optimus fight even though Megatron was stronger than him and even though he was being thrown around, he just wouldn’t give up. It got me thinking if Optimus could get back up after receiving such a beating then I knew I could get back up too. 15 years later Optimus still has a impact in my life. I wish I could meet Peter Cullen to say thank you for saving my life and for giving me hope at a time when I had nothing more than a pillow and when I just wanted to die. I hope to make a character and films which do the same for others in the future.
Honestly , I really get where your coming from . Currently I’ve been dealing with all this stuff myself and it’s sadly getting worse but still transformers and many other franchise have saved my life as well and this was a truly outstanding video , I love every single experience I get for transformers ! . Till all are one
I saw this when you first video and like it. I listen I appreciated all of your content and I enjoyed every film you made I'm glad you're still here. Just today I rewatched this video and rn I'm in tears bc I've been in my depressed stay all throughout middle school and now high school. It's hard really hard but I feel like this helped me. My friends reach out to me and I push it away but I always look to the people I look up to. Now I feel like I can do anything my spark came back for film making and I thank you. Please keep going keep doing what you're doing.
Sadness is a cloud. There’s always sunshine waiting for the cloud to pass. Glad you waited and got to meet Peter and get your show voices by David... and who knows what’s next.
I love reading all of your stories. It means a lot to me how many of you can relate. We’re all connected by our love of Transformers and you are all so brave for sharing your stories here.
Where all even if we dont show it are gald and happy you got trow somuch and look at you now a great person a alsome youtuber
Dont forget we all care about you

and it's more than meets the eye
We’re alaways here for you never stop trying my friend. Autobots role out and hit that like bell thank you tfi I loves you things just keep being you bro
TFI Creations my collection looks so puny compared to yours
For pretty much my entire life I've had to deal with depression and anxiety, where multiple times I thought and tried to end my own life, but it's the special people in my life that have stopped me from doing the worst of the worst, this really kinda connects with the things I go through
-You gotta have faith prime,in what we can be.
I am sorry if this isn’t original but this quote helped me to go though a lot,and still does.I didn’t had friends at school,people made fun of me for things that I loved,but star wars and transformers helped me to go though
I have been bullied for loving Transformers, they always picked on me in the classrooms, cafeteria, and recess. My dad was never in my life but Optimus was a father-figure in my childhood, he's so kind, loving, and caring. I wish I can hug him and tell him thank you. Thank you for being a caring father, thank you for being there for me in my darkest hours, thank you Peter Cullen, Till All Are One.(Primus, I was about to tear up while I was typing my comment.)
Same here since 6th grade so I hidden that I loved transformers until I met this grind who loved transformers too and he didn’t care about what others say so I did the same ever since.
@@jimz5222 thx ^^

Love the story bro...
Well Emperor Starscream screw the people who bullied you for liking Transformers one of the best franchises ever to grace humanity.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us :)
Hi jonnyflash
Dang it I wish I could end the like count with a 69 hehe also hi Johnny and thank you for being here as well your remake of megatrons fight with optimus just was amazing
Please collab?
WOAH! JOHNNY
IT’S JOHNNYFLASH
Honestly the clip with Peter Cullen telling you to “stay here” almost made me cry
Same here just came back to watch this video months after my first time seeing it that part with Peter makes me cry I can’t help it because I’ve been through everything he has in one way or another
I had to fight back tears. No one could Ever replace P.K as Optimus.
Thank you everyone for your amazing words and support. I couldn’t be where I am today without you all. To the crew, friends, and family, thank you.
TFI Creations I love your StopMotions videos and I’m your biggest fan
We love you, Sam. You are a beautiful human being and I am so lucky to have met you. Thank you for choosing me to accompany you as we make our way though the stars.
You are by far a hero to all of us that feel alone depressed, bullied anxiety! You are so brave and I am glad your here and the world needs you! As Peter said "Optimus Prime" That took a lot of guts and I know how hard it must have been for you to tell this to all that watch your channel. Never ever feel that your not worth it. I think everyone in some moment of life feels worthless. I have felt that way many times and what also gets me through my dark times is Transformers. Enjoying what you do in life and creating these amazing stories for all that are a fan of all Transformers is what matters most. Never give up on yourself! I am so happy for you being able to accomplish so much and your meeting Peter Cullen. One of my dreams to meet both Peter and Frank. But you were meant to meet him and I think you are so amazing to open up your personal struggles to Peter Cullen especially. It was meant to be that your here and meeting him. I am sure he was honored to have you tell him how his character saved your life. We all need a hero like Optimus Prime, But........ We all need a hero like you to be able to help others see that they are not alone! You truly inspire me and your struggles in life brought me to tears. God Bless you!!!!!
You know what your like me and I tried taking my own life a couple of times and I heard his voice
OMG MY NAME IS SAM TOO
"I'm glad you're here. Stay here, the world needs you." God bless Peter Cullen.
"I'm glad you're here. Stay here." Will now be one of my favorite Optimus Prime quotes.
Loved this video man. You're awesome!

Heres a hint with bullies tell them to f**k off ik it's not easy I used to be bullied to but I stood up to them and punched one and not bullied no more trust bro standing up for yourself will make you feel a lot better

@@crazytyler5372 okay, thanks for your answers ^-^
We all have our struggles we're never fully prepared to encounter, and I've also had my dark moments. I even get anxiety frequently, so I understand that fully. What gets me through the day is finding no point for an end, and just seeing what my life is like. I'm glad to have family and friends, and even viewers to support. It's interesting, as how crumby CZcams has been, having the ability to reach out and create has done so much for myself, honestly. You know something interesting, the inspirations you had recieved in the creation of your projects sorta had a turn around, because now you're one of my inspirations. Thanks for opening up about you, I know it can be hard, but I'm glad you decided to do this.
Without Peter Gullen there would not be an Optimus Prime or G1 cartoon ツ
True, however Peter Cullen has given each Transformers fan one Optimus prime. (God forbid) Even if anything happens to Mr.Cullen a new prime shall rise......as it doesn't matter whether our Voice matches him ; the only thing that matters is that the character of optimus will find a way through our darkest hours. So then the new prime will rise from one of fans.
Remember what Mr.Cullen would say " Do not grief over my end , for in my spark I know that that this is not the end . "
@@optimusprime9724 without Peter this franchise wouldn't even exist and I'm thankful that this franchise exists and thanks for the reply Optimus prime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@StingerStopMotion Let's not talk about that now ...
@@R.J.Productions616 yeah
It's sad that there's so much pain in the world. But it's good that there's ways to help with the pain
Yeah
I cannot believe I’m just now noticing this video.
Literally everything you said in this hit home for me. When dark moments would find its way in my life, I would think of the bravery and resilience of Optimus Prime, and hearing his voice in my head, would get me through it. Even the moments where I was going to end it all, the character of Prime was my rock.
Peter Cullen is the very embodiment of that voice and that character. I’m so happy that you got the chance to meet him. I hope one day I will get the honor to as well.
Thank you for sharing your story and opening up to the community. That indeed takes guts. ❤️💙
Hey Alfonso man I love your positivity 😇 and big fan man
"I knew it was helping me and that's all that mattered."
There is a power in that statement that could move mountains. I don't want to sound cliche or like other people but your strength is truly inspiring. Truthfully speaking, I have been a fan of the Transformers franchise since I was five, and being 23 now, I look back and acknowledge how positively it has influenced me, my mentality, and overall outlook on things, especially Optimus Prime.
That said, you really sucked me in with this one, man. Admittedly choked up at the 7:12 mark, but I'm not sad. I'm actually really happy to know that there's someone out there who shares my passion for Transformers, and the passion of thousands of others, and that someone showed more strength in a single moment than most could in years.
I'm happy you're alive :)
Must’ve been amazing to talk to such an amazing human being. I’m jealous.
Awesome Productions I am also jealous, Peter Cullen was kind a father figure for me because I never had one around.
@@brodybillings2113 I can relate to not having a father around to me he's been the father that I never knew I needed.
4:42 I had the exact same thing happen to me. I became a diehard TF fan when I listened to Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons which made me officially take my first steps to becoming a die-hard TF fan. I loved the bayfilms and bumblebee no matter who said anything about it. Now, TransFormers is my LIFE! Your stop-motion TF movies are absolutely life-changing. The Best TF youtuber EVER!
im a hard core tf fan as well
Transformers are the best
I’m more than a hard core fan
Me too, I enjoyed the bay films even though everyone hated them, I basically grew up with them.
The bay films are what got me into the Transformers franchise which was about 3-4 years ago
9:54
This is it
The first clip to instantly bring me to tears
i feel bad man i hope you are ok and keep doing what you doing you are the best youtuber in my life
you haved ignited my spark when i was feeling down and you make amazing series
Hi predator 360.9. Also I feel bad for tfi creations too buddy.
I hope he’s still alright besides when I’m bored his vids were awesome and are still awesome today. Also I watch his vids before I go to school.
Also speaking people trying to take their own life that happened to me in the past me trying to do that in the past. It was in 2018 last year. It went on from January to March. I couldn’t take the bullying anymore in my childhood I pretended to be a CZcamsr called the real name show. It’s not what it was called it only says real name show cause I don’t want to tell my real name anyway. I than made a CZcams channel and that’s when I stopped trying to take my own life. This comment shows that I know how it feels with stuff like that. Anyway I’m still not doing self harm again. Also it’s a but cliched so here stay here the world needs you it takes guts. Sorry if the comment is too depressing.
Hey now, don't feel bad! Our boy is alive and well and THAT is worth celebrating! :)
Stay here Sam stay here our world needs you that takes guts
I feel a little bit the same I have anxiety every type of dyslexia and claustrophobia depression but yours honestly sounds worst than my stuff when you created hot spot I related to him so much thank you for helping me with my disorder thank you for what you do you are the my inspiration you are the light in my spark.
Transformers has helped me through my own dark days of mental health issues as well. I’m very proud of you for speaking as I know from experience it’s not easy
You're a brave and talented man, Sam. Stay here, our world needs you :)
Thank you, my friend. :) All the support people have given, every one's story, it's all the inspiration anyone needs to stay here.
I'm honestly so proud of you and how far you've come. You would of never done something like this years ago. You have overcome so much and I'm so happy that you've been as strong as you are because it's been one hell of a ride being your friend and I've loved every step of it. You deserve all the good things that come your way Sam. I love you cap.
My God dude.. this hit home, I love transformers and they have been my thing for a while, I feel you when u talked abt this, I love ur videos and I love you dude, ur a amazing stop motion person, ur a perfect person for that, if I had a freind like u, that would be amazing, bc ur so amazing and cool with what u do, whoever bullied u are nothing and they dont see how much is in you, I'm sorry for u but dude ur great at what u do and I'll always support u
It’s ok, we all have hardships sometimes but at the end of the day, we gotta help each other become better people. Thank you for the nice stop motions you have given us. Thank you for reaching out. You gave us a connection no one else does to a CZcams channel. You’ve given us a very nice connection to Transformers and for that, we thank you.
Those 3 dislikes are from the bullies who have no souls
And they have no fear of what people think either
Thanks for sharing your story! Peter Cullen is one of the kindest individuals I've been graced with meeting. Keep doing what you're doing! Our world DOES need you!
This had me, I am also going through this right now as my mother passed away. Thank you for being here doing these videos, you are an inspiration and just thank you.
I feel for you man. I have absolutely no one in my personal life who has the same interests as me. Transformers and Predator are my favorite things of all time, and no one around me understands my love for them. The character of Optimus Prime has and always will be my inspiration to do the right thing, even if it meant that doing what I loved lost me my friends. I think I can safely speak for everyone here, but it absolutely warms my heart at how everyone in the TF community seems to get along and complement one another one their projects. I have made a few videos myself (not a self-promotion) and have gotten nothing but love and positive feedback on my very small channel and it gives me so much hope and confidence that there ARE people out there who care and have the same interests as me. Your videos are astounding Samuel, and give people so much joy including me, and to everyone reading this, thank you and till are one.
Whenever I am depressed, I watch this vid and everything is suddenly better. And am glad you told me your stories.
"We've Suffered Losses, But We've Not Lost The War."

There’s people out there watching your movies and feeling the same positivity and energy you felt when you watched TF Prime etc. Your work makes people happy, it brings joy to people. You’re making a difference, no matter what you think. Keep it up bro, and keep your head held high, you have so much to be proud of.
I started crying at the end when he said whatever you do as long as it's funded by passion is going to be great.
You really brought me to tears when you talked about meeting Peter Cullen. I too struggle with anxiety and depression and I've certainly had panic attacks prevent me from everyday life. And while Transformers doesn't necessarily cure my disorders, they're always there when I need some confidence.
hey dude
i never have been through all of this, but this vid made me so emotional. your story was not of a coward, or a victim or of some wimpy kid. it was of a fighter. YOU, my friend are a fierce and a strong fighter just like optimus prime,and i can bet on it. TFI creations have made some of the most best stop motions on youtube, but this is the most character-oriented, story line based and realistic stop motion channel. and this story makes me to salute you because facing all these problems and standing up no matter what, i must say that really takes a lot of guts.
please keep making more videos and i pray to god that you always be there with us. our world needs you and optimus prime will wreak havoc if you leave
sorry, just got a bit emotional
thanks for everything!!! :)
That is a very sad story, and I love your transformer fan films, I make mine myself but only like 5 are quite terrible
Transformers have helped me man these taken me through tough times in my own life 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I struggle with Depression, Anxiety, Mood swings and PTSD. I've been through a lot of shit in my life, and I did plan to take my own life almost 2 years ago. Transformers and Optimus are one of the things that helped me fight through Hell and light my darkest hour. Transformers saved me from the dark, twice. Proud to be a Transformers fan, and always will be for all eternity.
This was amazing man, I’m speechless of how everything was. I’m glad u got through this, and that you’re here. I’m glad to be a fan of yours
You literally SOUND like optimus prime when giving a speech,you even inspired me to make stop motions!
Sometimes I will just take a transformer doesn’t matter who but just pick it up and transform it to calm me down. I feel like Optimus is a live saving inspiration to countless people, and I understand why, especially after this video.
Awesome and touching video man.I'm the biggest Transformers fanboy in my country Malaysia.Ever since I became a fan of Transformers in 2007 did'nt just make an official fan of this franchise,it also improve myself,my lifestyle,my family and friends relationship and communications and my life problems in High School.My life in a High School was very hard and struggle.I have been bullied,accused,and a broke up relationship with my girlfriend because of a cruel and nasty guy.I wasn't my happy with my life in high school and everytime I came back from school,I was crying in my room and never shared my problems.Thankfully my parents comfort me and my parents buy me a Transformers figure for me to cheered me up and make me feel happy.And they did.My mom and dad said " Here Afzal, we know you love Transformers so we want to buy something to make you feel happy".I thanked them and cried while hugged them.Also when I was standard 4,I waited for my aunty to come to my house to watched Transformers Animated cartoon on Sunday because last time she came for a sleepover at my house and we watched Transformers Animated Megatron Rising Part 1 before she went back to her house.But on that day,she can't come because she has an emergency and I was worried for who is going to watch Transformers Animated with me.Until my dad comfort me and he said that he accompany me downstairs watching Transformers Animated with me and we both loved the show.Even in my University that I'm in right now,I struggle with assignments,lost of friends,online scamming,part time jobs,projects.I struggle alot that I talked with my friend that I always feel sad,depressed and want to take my own life.My friend put his hand on my shoulder and sad to me " Afzal,if you don't want to feel sad,depressed,or still thinking about the girl that you used love,go do something that you love like you're collecting Transformers figures ".But I told him that some of his friend or my friends in MSU will laughed at me if I collected Transformers figures.He said " It's okay,Afzal.No one is going to laughed at you because that is what you loved to do,it's your hobby,that is what makes you feel happy Afzal.So if you like your hobby collecting Transformers figures,go ahead,we understand that's your hobby".After that he told me that,I thanked him and the next day after my final class finish early in afternoon,I go for my prayers first,had lunch and go to Toysrus at my nearest shopping mall to get me another Transformers Studio Series figure for my collection and that is Studio Series World War 2 Bumblebee.I felt happy and proud that I deserved this figure.After I went back to my apartment,my roommates bring some of his friends over for assignment and I thought they will laughed at me.But they don't.They amaze at the figure I bought and we start taking photos of it.Transformers is not just a franchise that I loved,but it's a franchise that is very important for me as a kid and adult,to my family and my friends.I absolutely ❤ Transformers.
This was an amazing video dude I haven't suffered with most of the things you struggled with but I was bullied a lot and still am to this very day, not as much but it still makes an impact. Just like you I've always had a character I identified with Wheeljack! He was always there for me through the really rough times. And especially the Transformers Prime incarnation just like you that was a big help for me getting through the bullying, he continues to help me get through some of those awful comments I get everyday! This really motivated me because I make stopmotions too and you e just helped me Soo much thank you TFI creations you just helped me out a whole lot man!
Wow. That was very... moving. I really feel like crying right now because of how mad relatable this is. Being born with autism, life is pretty scary and difficult for me. And I, have contemplated suicide on several occasions, and I have suffered panic attacks and meltdowns. Optimus Prime truly is my hero. And I'm just grateful to grow up with Transformers, because it's not just a show or franchise... Transformers made me the man I am.
Great video and thank you for passing along those words" stay here stay here the world needs you"
Im so glad that you overcame your problems, and Im so glad of the people who support and relate to you. My God, this comment section combined with this video is making me cry.
How I only just saw this? :O dude I'm in tears and I'm sorry that you through all that bullying and turmoil :( I know that darkness well as today I still go through it, that being a lot to do with trauma and overthinking from various past events. And of course attempted a couple of times to end my life. But, like yourself I heard the words and inspiration of Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and on those days of negativity I tend to watch videos of Optimus Prime' to help me through it. And your videos from the TFI team there are inspiring moments too. I really hope to meet Peter Cullen one day because honestly I need to tell him that he is important to me that he has saved me too like a lot of people. In a world where right now appears more divided it's now even more important that we stick together. For All Are One.
TFI, thank you so much for inspiring me to make my own stop motion and to keep pushing on even though I want to quit. I remember my early days watching your Transformers Interstellar videos every single day, waiting for the next episode released while thinking, " I want to be like this guy when I'm older." You pretty much are one of the main reasons I got into transformers. I am so grateful for your inspiration to others including me. Thank you for making my childhood.
Optimus Prime has always been my hero since I was kid and remains to this day, even in high school and to this day I’m referred to as Prime and that’s only because i follow Optimus’s example. Trust, Compassion, Honour, Integrity. It amazes me how one character can change lives as well as save them, I hope to meet Peter Cullen one day but through Optimus Prime I feel I already have. Keep up your amazing work, because so long as our love for Optimus Prime remains, all are one.
Peter was right Sam we need you and not all for your amazing work but as a friend in the yt community you are. A really good person you make such smooth stop motions you inspired Many people including myself my mam didn't treat me right so I live with my dad in a different country but when all of that was happening I just stayed calm and watched you Sam your amazing I'm staying to work on a stop motion myself for you and I'll even do a drawing for you you deserve it and it's not just me who thinks your amazing so dose every 36k of us do love u man keep up the work 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
My son is second generation Transformers fan and we both are diagnosed with anxiety and depression. He sent me a link to this video and it truly hit home. He wants to do stop motion and I have done one little one with Sideswipe to try it out. I also was bullied in school back in G1 days in the 80's. I hear you sir and glad you are still here as well. My thanks for your courage in making this video and making me jealous of your collection. My G1 collection of over 200 Transformers sold 19 years ago for $4300 on ebay... Til all are one.
I almost cried !
I have been a fan of the Transformers Franchise since I was 7 and seeing this video...it moved me so much !
I wish you much good luck for your channel.
TILL ALL ARE ONE !!!
Opening up is very hard, and it’s nice to see that your tackling your problems head on, and that your very passionate about what your doing. I myself suffer with a lot with depression and anxiety as well, I’ve suffered with it all my life, but one of the main things that gets me through it is watching and collecting transformers. Granted growing up a lot of people tended to scoff at my interests and as a result I wasn’t the most popular, but the best thing about being an adult now is that their isn’t anyone to tell you how to think and how to feel. I wish you the best in your future endeavours and can’t wait until rollout 3!
On a side note, I WAS AT THAT PETER CULLEN EVENT TOO. that was Toronto Fan Expo 2019 I believe, the Peter Cullen Experience I got my G1 reissue signed by him, I flew all the way from eastern Canada to see him, he was awesome! If I had of known you were there I would’ve thanked you for the work you put into this stuff in person lol.
Toronto Fan Expo, yup! I swear I saw someone get their G1 figure signed. Must've been you!
@@TFICreations yooo that’s awesome! in any case thanks for the work you do my guy!
I grew up watching Transformers Prime, that show got me thru a lot of things in my life, Prime is the best Transformers show out there, i am glad to see someone out there who care about Transformers Prime as much as I do
I may have shed a tear watching your video and wanted to give you a big hug. I felt a little bit the same when I was in third year junior high school I suffered from extreme sadness and loneliness but yours were way worst than mine. I did have friends during my third year but during that year I felt I was all alone or a shadow. All I had were literally Transformers or my fandom in general. When Roll Out was released I was super surprised that Hot Spot had these conditions that a human will have and never saw that a Transformer can have those emotions. But I remembered what Jack, Miko and Raf said to each other in the first episode of TF Prime. "Robots who get dizzy? Robots with emotion." And "Robots who can die." Regardless of their height or where they're from, they are human in the inside. I just want to say thank you for creating Hot Spots story. That really helped me throughout my third year junior high school life. Thank you especially for allowing me to create the "Roll Out A Transformers Film Music Video." And especially the "Transformers Interstellar Remake | Phoenix| Music Video." Watching your films, series and making their music videos they really help me if I'm down in the dumps. If I'm watching your films I would literally get my figures copy and play with my figures while watching your series or film. Until today sometimes I still suffer from confusion with my feelings like in some point in time I'll be sad or I just don't know anymore. Sharing your story really helped me. I really can't thank you enough. Thank you! Especially, what Peter Cullen said to you was beautiful. And I didn't expect that you will say it as well by the end of this video. That really hit my heart. Thank you for saying that man. Thank you.
It takes courage to bear your soul as you did here. You are stronger than you know. You may look back on the bad times in your life, but never forget you got through them.
You're here and you're appreciated. Noones life is perfect. There's no shame in asking for help. There's no shame in being who you are.
You have a decent and genuine vibe to you and people will and do respect you for it.
I wish you and the other people who have shared on these comments all the best. You deserve happiness.
By the time the video ended, I was in tears. Because I have also dealt with so much for so many years, but instead of Transformers it was a different show at the time. Growing up, I had ADHD and would later on develop a speech delay that would give me and my social skills a hard time. And everyday, I stayed quiet while being filled with so much anxiety, knowing I was afraid of messing up my interactions with people. And at the time, I was also dealing with so much loss on friends and family members and would later be dealing with so many responsibilities that I was afraid of doing.
The show I grew up watching to this very day was made by Disney called Gargoyles. This wasn't your typical show where it was always family friendly. But while it showed some hits of family-friendly content, the show gave off a dark theme and became keen of storytelling where they would feature inspirations of Medieval magic and fantasy, science fiction, Shakspeare, and the love for adventure. There was a character I could personally relate to, and he was named Goliath. Not only was he a leader, but he also dealt with several struggles. He experienced betrayal, loss of his family, trust issues, and responsibilities of being a leader. He is one of the fewest characters that I can relate to on a personal level.
I'm sorry that you had to deal with so much, but I am very happy that you were able to make it through so much. You are an amazing individual, and may your stories continue to be spectacular.
This video made me cry, I had no idea about the hardships you had to do through. Just know that your fans will always support you no matter what.
I think you have already found your purpouse in life. It's making this amazing stop-motion films and sharing your passion with us! Glad you're here friend!
I just came back from trying out Roll Out, and... This broke me. It just broke me more than it ever could, which means that you have done your job right. When I saw the film, I was about to cry on the attempt scene. Keep up the good work, and till all are one.
This video speaks to me because Optimus Prime has and always will be one of if not the best Heroes of all time, Prime spoke to me he was someone who I could look up to. His firm but commanding voice had a sense of friendliness,Prime has always been someone who was willing to lay down his life for his teammates and others, that’s why I’m not a huge fan of bayformers because Bay thought Prime should be a blood thirsty killer with no remorse. But I know how you feel about Optimus, I wish the people at paramount would realize how much potential Prime has for his own movie. Prime will always be a leader, honorable warrior, and honestly friend. I love Optimus Prime I will never forget him even when the world seems to hate everything we do and love Prime will be there riding the eye of the storm cause we all got the touch!
TILL ALL ARE ONE. Stay here, stand proud, Transform your world. I met Peter, I understand the profound presence he has and how his heart welcomes us when we shake his hand. Subscribed.
I cried multiple times watching that video, I can relate to you in multiple ways, you’ve gone through a lot of things and so have I, you’re a huge inspiration for my series, it would be a miracle to have you help out with it, you’re the best!
Don’t ever give up life can be tough but you’re strong man hope everything goes good for you!
…so emotional, I can’t even imagine what you’ve been through😮😶😧😲😦
Thank you for sharing your story, I understand you, I've been bullied everyday back in middle school, I also had suicidal thoughts but in 2023 when I saw Transformers Rise of the beast in theaters I loved it, Transformers G1 was the show that kept me going, especially G1 Optimus Prime and your Roll Out series really touched me. It's nice to know im not the only one who once had the same struggles. Thank you for making this video, your words really touched me. 😊
I'm Glad You're Still Here and I Hope you and Everybody else Continues to Stay Here Please Because the People around You still need You more than You Know.
I am retired now and went through times of emptiness. I am feeling better because I have started collecting transformers thanks to my 7-year-old grandson! We both enjoy transforming the figures.
I may have a decepticon profile, but Peter cullen is right. The world needs you and your talent should not be wasted. I myself have had the same troubles from elementary all up to high school. And i may not have any videos but i can assure you that with all you have on your channel has made me inspired from ranges of making my own Transformers figurines to even making my own characters! But YOU my friend have the touch and you got the power!
Wow, thanks for sharing that. I LOVED Roll Out! It was such an amazing production, and and even greater story.
Good for you man. I'm so glad you were able to get through hard times. Screw what people think of you, just keep doing what you need to live a good life.
Geez Peter Cullen is a freakin' hero. The more I learn about him, the more I love the man.
I can tell you are a true fan the transformers changed many lives including lives you are a special keep believing keep doing what you are doing because you are your greatest work man im so glad i found this channel.
I may have not had mental disorders. However, I too have been bullied and I was a huge Transformers fan since the very beginning (1984). G1 Optimus was my hero and a great inspiration to me. I grew up having an abusive Father who was also abusive towards my Mother. G1 was an inspiration to me because I loved his ideals of protecting the weak and being compassionate towards others. Optimus was my inspiration to not become the person my Father was. I too met Peter Cullen earlier this year at Toycon here in Las Vegas. He is a wonderful man and actually kind of funny. When I met him I thanked him for making Optimus my Hero. I was unemployed at the time of Peter Cullen and I was dismissed by my previous job for something I did not do. Thinking of my meeting with Peter Cullen got me through the tough year of not being employed. Thank you for sharing this as I can identify with being bullied and being a Transformers fan as well. Please know there are others like you and there is strength in knowing that there are others who have fought almost the same battles you have. You have a new subscriber and a new friend. Till all are one
i legitly cried with this, you know i been seeing you sience 2012 with your spidey fan films and now seeing all of your story it really nakes me happy i encountred you all those years ago maybe you'll see this or maybe not but all i want to say to you is
thank you samuel for showing me that i could make my own stories of my favorite characters and franchises and you will always have my support for any project and idea you have
Peter Cullen saved my life too! Met the man very humble! Love him!! Awesome video man! Glad I watched this now I know I'm not alone! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Sam I’m going through some mental problems and watching your videos is an enjoyment I’m glad your doing this I’m glad you’re still here
I can’t say anything for you that you do a great job! You show this universe in a different way! In your way! This is what matters! I do stop motions in Hungary, but nowadays I have demotivation for this (not english unfortunatley). After I watched your video. I will continue my story! I can say that in the name of the whole TF community members....... Thank you to show us these amazing stories! And you gave us motivations for everything! Thanks to you and the TFI crew members. Big love from Hungary!
Inspiring video. It's sad to hear all the bad things you've been through. If there is one thing I will never regret is knowing the universe of Transformers. A universe with a lot of passionate fans, with amazing characters and stories. The first Transformers movie by Michael Bay was the thing that approached me to this world, Transformers Prime is still today my favourite show, G1 is legend.
Glad to be apart of this community! TILL ALL ARE ONE!
I really am glad you're here. Your passion shows in the things you make, and I hope you go big in it. Me and my 10 Optimus Prime figures salute you.
Love ya.
Also I don't even care if people, internet critics and movie reviews acused,bullied or mocked me because I love Transformers movies.I don't give a damn for what they said.The Transformers franchise made me feel happy,fill with joy and excitement,great family bonding,made alot of great and awesome friends,but most importantly,The Transformers franchise helped me when I feel stressed,sad,mental breakdown,and life problems.Because whenever I cried or depressed,I have my Transformers to make me feel happy again.
Now I see the inspirations from your videos. Bro imagine if you had ended your life earlier, who would made interstellar, roll out and the list goes on. I'm glad you lived😊
My world needs you.This is heart warming. Sometimes i am depressed i get trough of it.We all come for zero to hero.Im proud of my work it was also not that good now it is a masterpiece.All of our heroes are in our hearts.Be safe and roll out.
Optimus Prime is always a great role model. He's a bot who cares for his Autobots, the people he protects, and has the best one liners ever. As well as the touch. And the power.
TFI, thanks for making your stuff, and keep on doing it! Til all are one.
I understand you man, I've been through similar things. You know, most people in my country don't know how this franchise looks like outside of the Michael Bay films, so I've been very bullied for liking Transformers. It's extremely humiliating to be an 18 year old guy looking for a Siege Prime in a toy store around here. I used to feel very lonely, until one day I decided to create a profile on the internet and started interacting with other fans around the world, and I started to feel good, I realized I wasn't alone. Listening to stories like this really thrills me.
Be strong my friend, you are not alone.
I absolutely love your content and especially this video! I can also relate that Transformers has saved me. Tf was always a staple in my life and was my 3rd tattoo at 18. I fell bad into alcoholism for the better part of a decade and thanks to tf i have healthy hobbies and relationships. 30yrs old, sober, and a tf collector.
Also, take a tf with you everywhere you go. I've had a tf toy with me by my side since I was 4yrs old. It wasn't until 3 years ago I realized how important has been to my mental health.
Much love to you my brotha.
Thank you for your powerful story! I didn't think I could like Peter Cullen any more oh, but I was wrong. Having grown up in the 80s I started with Transformers the original. And have found strength from the show myself. Thank you again for your story. New subscriber!😎👍
transformers my childhood ❤️🔥
keep your head up king
i never fit in neither
used to always get picked on wearing my transformers bookbag
but if anything standing out from the masses is a blessing in disguise 🙏🏻
Ur channel changed my life I had depression and I barely remember ever having it now u changed my life and I’m so thankful
Stay strong, my friend. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well.
Ok, at the first: I think Optimus would be very proud of you. And I'm serious about this!
Thank you to be so honest with us. Your fans. 👍🏼
I saw much of your films (maybe you recognise me from some comments) and I was often impressed by the meaning of the Storys. And now everything make sense.
I'm very happy about your strength to STAY HERE. And I hope you will keep making this wonderful films. Everyone has an destiny. I think you found yours. And please: Enjoy your life!
That's what I just wanted to say
Your fan from the far germany 😊😅
Wow. I had no idea about the amount of mental disorders you were diagnosed with. I, for one, have had asperger's since I was 3, and I have had moments when I have wanted to enact revenge on those who do injustice either to me or someone I care about. And at times, I have contemplated suicide and giving up on life. But every time, I stop right as I am about to pull the trigger. And each time, I remember that it is only temporary. And a permanent solution to a temporary problem will do no good, especially when regarding taking one's own life.
Thank you for sharing your story, my friend. We're all here for you.
I can relate myself to you in those similar situations, TFI Creations. I have lost my mother at the age of 9 in late 2001, and I put all my focus on the cartoons from Cartoon Network, one of them being Transformers: Armada, which was when I first heard about it. I was fascinated by the idea of good robots vs evil robots taking their war from Cybertron to Earth, and that was my introduction to the franchise before high school, along with a little bit of the G1 Cartoon from the 1980s including the 1986 movie. Also, my disability that I was diagnosed with at birth is Autism, and nobody but my family understood me then. I was having a difficult struggle in life without my mom
In 2007, after I graduated from Jr. High School, my cousin took me to see the first Transformers live-action movie on the 23rd of July. I was surprised by it
Around my first year of high school, I was not getting along well with everybody. I was the New Kid on the Block, who is actually an outcast around both school and home for the first two and a half months. I had Star Wars to keep me sane. But when my 15th birthday arrived on November 1st, I got Transformers 2007 as an unexpected gift. I have been watching it every day after school ever since. In 2008, I met this very special and beautiful girl in 6th Period Class, and I suddenly related the both of us to Samuel James Witwicky and Mikaela banes from the first Transformers movie. Me and my classmates are family-friends now, but meeting her was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole entire life
Speaking of being bullied, I was bullied around my Sophomore Year in HS from October of 2008 until it ended in April 2009. Not only was I bullied at school, I was also bullied by my big brother at home. I did see Revenge of the Fallen 2009 on the 8th of July with my cousin, but I rejected it for my 17th birthday because I felt like I didn’t need it at all. I soon discovered otherwise that Transformers is my destiny as a teenager becoming a young adult. My Junior Year was rough, but I was able to borrow a copy of Transformers 2 from my cousin and watch it whenever I felt like it
Around my Senior Year, which is a true charm, I met a good friend who had the same interests as I did. I even got Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 2009 as a graduation gift and to prepare myself for the third movie
After graduating high school, I saw the third film, Dark of the Moon, on the 4th of July in 2011 and got it for my 19th birthday
As the years 2011-2014 passed, I saw the 4th TF film, Age of Extinction on the Opening Day, June 27th of 2014, and it exceeded my expectations back then. Not only that, I played the War for and Fall of Cybertron games as well. But around mid-September of 2014, I lost my dad to suicide, and that is when my struggles against both depression and anxiety began. I was able to see the fifth and final Bayver movie, The Last Knight, on June 19th in 2017. It was a failure, a first in the franchise. But not even that stopped me from loving the film. I just hope the future of the franchise will still help me with moving forward in life
I’ve had moments on why Life isn’t working well for me, I even had thoughts of suicide as well. But I was able to talk to my grandfather and friends about it, and that seemed to help me out. I have worried that I was not needed for any purpose anymore. But I gave it some thought, and I discovered that everybody I knew still need me
You are not the only one who is struggling with Life itself. Everbody, including me, has this problem
I am a huge Transformers fan ever since 2007, and I believe that this franchise has saved my life at a young age and it will keep me alive and help me keep moving forward no matter what
I wish I could meet Peter Cullen. Not only that, I also wish I could meet Michael Bay as well. I want to thank them both for creating an action movie franchise that saved my life ever since I was a teenager who has had many problems in the past and thank them for giving me a future of imagination that is worth looking forward to
Thank you TFI Creations for being here today at this moment of darkness, and thank you for creating your CZcams channel for us TF fans to watch your clips and enjoy. If you ever felt like you needed somebody to talk to, I am your guy
Thank you for sharing your story. It means a lot that you were able to relate to myself and many others. We’re all in this together and even in our darkest hours, we’re never alone.
@@TFICreations You're welcome for me sharing my story and how I can relate to you, and thank you for understanding me and where I come from. We are all in this together and never alone. No matter how dark the hours of time are, there will always be a spark of light for hope for us all
Watching this again makes me feel great to be alive I’m going through some of the same stuff with anxiety
Dude ik I'm late but I could've commented aearlier but your channel means so much to me you're insanely talented and you and your VAs like Jobby and Zach make great things with this channel and I'm glad you're still here
Optimus Prime changed my life in a massive way when I was 5, hated life and I just wanted it to be over already cause of the things I was going through at the time. My only companion at the time was my pillow but then Transformers came out and when I saw Optimus fight even though Megatron was stronger than him and even though he was being thrown around, he just wouldn’t give up. It got me thinking if Optimus could get back up after receiving such a beating then I knew I could get back up too. 15 years later Optimus still has a impact in my life. I wish I could meet Peter Cullen to say thank you for saving my life and for giving me hope at a time when I had nothing more than a pillow and when I just wanted to die. I hope to make a character and films which do the same for others in the future.
Honestly , I really get where your coming from . Currently I’ve been dealing with all this stuff myself and it’s sadly getting worse but still transformers and many other franchise have saved my life as well and this was a truly outstanding video , I love every single experience I get for transformers ! . Till all are one
I saw this when you first video and like it. I listen I appreciated all of your content and I enjoyed every film you made I'm glad you're still here. Just today I rewatched this video and rn I'm in tears bc I've been in my depressed stay all throughout middle school and now high school. It's hard really hard but I feel like this helped me. My friends reach out to me and I push it away but I always look to the people I look up to. Now I feel like I can do anything my spark came back for film making and I thank you. Please keep going keep doing what you're doing.
Sadness is a cloud. There’s always sunshine waiting for the cloud to pass. Glad you waited and got to meet Peter and get your show voices by David... and who knows what’s next.
This was beautiful man im so happy you meant Peter Cullen thats one of the things i want in life is to meet him.
