Rewritten: Transformers (2007) Part 1

- I was inspired by my rewrite of TFP Season 3 and the videos of other creators like Phoenix Studios (go check him out, he has good stuff) to take on the challenge of rewriting Michael Bay's TF films. I expected the first one to be the least intensive of the bunch, and while that may be true, that didn't make it any less of an arduous journey. It didn't help that I chose to partially voice act this project, thus making it take longer to record than a normal video, and that my allergies would act up while I was trying to emulate Peter Cullen and Fred Tatasciore. That being said, after a much longer wait that I intended, I present to you all the first half(ish) of my Transformers 2007 rewrite.
For those who don't want to wait, the full rewrite will be available on Patreon. The second half will be live on CZcams in two weeks.

14:23 THATS WHY THE AUTOBOTS FEEL LIKE PEOPLE AND I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE DECPTICONS WERE!!!!
this man cooking
😂😂😂😂
It felt wrong.
(Note=i didnt see the video yet/i dont even mean the youtube person.)
This is good, the main reason Bay directed the movie like he did was due to budget.
I really like this rewrite good work
Thanks! Stay tuned for Part 2
found you through your tfp megatron video, your vibes are so good and i love your little knight persona, it’s adorable :) i love your stuff!! also ayyyy “armada was my tf introduction” gang 🤝
also i love your silly voices. it’s giving kids on the playground and i absolutely love that! keep that whimsy my friend
i loved the opening that is like the bb movie that take place on cybertron but is based off of the idw comics with the flashbacks that is
32:28 "a military film with the robots guest-starring"
That's not a conspiracy at all. The US Military will fund big blockbusters as long as it shows them in a positive light (Battleship, the other hasbro adaptation by Bay, is similar). It's also the only way film makers can use actual military vehicles or equipment as props and the US Military gets the final say in how it's presented.
Transformers 07 was a car commercial meets a military propoganda film with some toys tacked on. That doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed, or that people are wrong for liking it, it's just the corporate reality of the product.
As someone that is new to the TF franchise, your rewrites are a blessing.
I appreciate that!
Could you please Rewrite Cars 1 ?@@KnightsRealm98
Loving this rewrite so far, but please don’t kill off Jazz. Please.
Prime's bayverse flame job was awesome.
You should do more of these your not even finished and i like it better than the original
I like where this story is going. Keep up the good work.
I loved this! Just as great as Phoenix's version! Love it!
That is the fastest I ever saw a heart badge pop up! Seriously I just started watching this, and dude, you cooked!
And now, I can say, your versions are BETTER than Phoenix's version!
After the first movie the live action movies went down hill
The Revenge of the Fallen script is going to be a doozy, for sure
I’d say the 2007 film was okay, Revenge of the Fallen was mid, Dark of the Moon was a massive step up, Age of Extinction and The Last Knight were terrible, the Bumblebee movie was amazing, and Rise of the Beasts has its flaws but it’s alright
Hey Knight (if you don’t mind me calling you that), what’s your thoughts on this Transformers cast for a film idea I have?
Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime
Dylan O’Brien as Bumblebee
Jeffrey Combs as Ratchet
David Sobolov as Ironhide
Liza Koshy as Arcee
Frank Welker as Megatron and Soundwave
Steve Blum as Starscream
Corey Burton as Shockwave
Keith David as Barricade
Danny Hansen as Thundercracker
Mark Whitten as Skywarp
Not a bad line-up, all things considered
@@KnightsRealm98 Thank you, you don’t have a bad line up of ‘Bots and ‘Cons, though for this movie Bumblebee wouldn’t loss his voice cause by this point Bumblebee not having a voice is getting old
@@LordBumblebee1238 I agree. I'm sick of it (there's a reason I brought the voice back in RotF). Wouldn't have included it if I wasn't sticking to the original plot, honestly.
@@KnightsRealm98 Yeah, though shouldn’t Bee have gotten his voice back from touching the Allspark? Since in Revenge of the Fallen, one tiny piece revived Megatron but somehow it didn’t give Bumblebee’s voice wether big nor the size of a small box
@@LordBumblebee1238 Those movies were full of plot holes. Wouldn't have helped in the Rewrite as the AllSpark's full energy was contained inside the Cube and the little that was leaking was not sufficient to heal a full-blown Transformer, especially if he'd lost an organ.
i would have had Megatron's freezing happen later in the film in a flashback.
the whole "Iceman" secret was really cool, you could set it up as a mystery until it is revealed that it's megatron, could have been a really interesting plot twist
Any movie to rewrite NICE pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice I can imagine rachel Taylor as Carly Spencer
Sound wave will be tough very the formers bay.
29:51-29:55: RIP Ladiesman2187
31:28 imaging g1 frenzy do what ever that was is kinda funny
More Autobots than Optimus, Ratchet, Bumblebee,IronHide and Jazz The Knight's Realm.
@@AndrewDavis-sj6mb The future Rewrites have a lot more. I just wanted to stick to this crew for the first one
Say TKR have you considered adding Antagony in one of your TRANSFORMERS rewrites.
Did you see the Chinese girl with the Fantasia 1st segment played on her string instrument on AGT?
4:05 he litterlly sounds like him.👍👍👍👍
Hey Knight, how would the Bumblebee movie and Rise of the Beasts go if you made them? Also, did Scorponok die in this version? There was also a deleted scene were it would’ve shown Fig dying, which I’m questioning to why it was cut cause it would’ve added some emotional depth to Lennox’s character
@@LordBumblebee1238 Scorponok's still around. I forgot him, but I meant him to be in DotM (there were a lot of characters in that movie). The only thing I'd change about Bumblebee is keeping in the Megatron scene at the end, because Concept Art Megatron is stunning. RotB, I actually might Rewrite it at some point
@@KnightsRealm98 I see. Though Blitzwing deserved a more faithful design, so replacing him with say Skyquake would’ve been more fitting. But what are your thoughts on Figs deleted death scene?
@@LordBumblebee1238 Any character depth would have been welcome, honestly.
You're right about Blitzy, too. I'd definitely rename him as well.
@@KnightsRealm98 Yeah, someone even renamed Blitzwing in that version as Ramjet, which makes sense given the colors, though I am confused why Thrust was given a green color scheme rather than the red from G1, though it was probably done as a reference to Armada.
What about the designs?
Not a huge fan of most of them. I'd prefer more Bumblebee Movie-esque designs or Transformers Prime-style ones.
@@KnightsRealm98 Noted.
Why didn’t you call Brawl by the name Demolisher since you could’ve brought in the full Combaticon team
@@LordBumblebee1238 I didn't want to. Simple as that
@@KnightsRealm98 So no Bruticus?
@@LordBumblebee1238 Brawl's fate was left ambiguous on purpose at the end of DotM. That's all I'll say on that subject
@@KnightsRealm98 Fair enough. I just wanted to know why Demolisher wasn’t used over Brawl
Are there any plans to rewrite Transformers Beast Machines
That's a big maybe. I'm usually content to just ignore Beast Machines' existence
can you do a power rangers reboot universe some time ? or atleast rewrite the power rangers 2017 movie ?
i liked zordon as the red ranger
and rita as the green ranger
Maybe. Not at the top of my list at the moment, though.
@@KnightsRealm98 ok but if you do it can be original or whatever
100 out of 10! 🎉
15:38 sam is toxic/the car part in the 3rd 1,and he herts bumblebee but hes nice to optimus.
Resnove does this too in the world at war game=toxic people do this/(im pretty sure black and white thinking too?...).
35:46 Rachet being that highlighter colour makes sense because he's an emergency vehicle and needs to be visible. I know in America that a lot of Ambulances are white, but you do get some in that highlighter colour as well
The issue is that in 99% of his appearances, he's a red-and-white ambulance. Just like Optimus is a red-and-blue Semi and Bumblebee is a yellow-and-black car. I don't really care about the rest. Besides, as you said, most American ambulances are white...and the Autobots landed in the States.
@@KnightsRealm98 is change so bad?
@@joshuateixeira2709 Never said it was. But if Bruce Wayne isn't a white guy with dark hair, he's not Bruce Wayne. If Peter Parker isn't a nerd with brown hair, he's not Pete. If Optimus isn't red and blue with horn-shaped ears and turns into a big truck, he's not Optimus. Characters have iconic looks for a reason. Sometimes they deviate and it fits (Arcee in Prime, for example). Other times, they deviate and it doesn't (most Bayverse designs). I like Jazz's look in the films. That's quite a change. I think Sentinel looks pretty rad. Definitely a change. Blackout, Barricade, both pretty good film-original designs.
But I dislike Ratchet and I dislike Ironhide. Prime, get rid of the flame job and the mouth and he actually looks pretty good. Just because I dislike certain redesigns doesn't mean I'm opposed to change. It means I don't like *that* change. I like Nick Fury's look in the MCU and Ultimate comics. I like Megatron in Armada quite a bit (I prefer more G1-adjacent looks, but the horns did grow on me). I enjoy Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon. I still *prefer* more comic-accurate castings (Vincent D'onofrio and Gary Oldman, for instance), but I still liked those takes. But I think Ratchet (and Ironhide and Starscream and...most of the characters, honestly) looks ugly as sin in the films. Me having that opinion is not me saying "change bad." It's me saying, "I don't like that."
@@KnightsRealm98 yeah I get what you mean, but Ratchet is nowhere near iconic as Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker or Optimus Prime. It is nice to stick to the classic designs, but at the same time, some of the most iconic designs that were translated over to other continuities came from the movies, like Bumblebee for example. I do agree that the designs for Ratchet, Ironhide and Starscream are ugly, and I feel like the design team neglected the designs of some of the Autobots, with few exceptions.
The Decepticons however I like, they do lose a lot of the personality they had in G1 and later with Animated and Prime, but it does the job of making the Decepticons intimidating. I particularly like Brawl and Blackout’s designs. I do think most of the designs are quite terrible or straight up just glorified Bionicles like The Fallen and the Decepticon protoforms. I found it refreshing watching Bumblebee as they managed to translate the designs I grew up with into live action and I wish we had a movie like the original Transformers 2007 movie but with the G1 designs
If you don’t care what Michael Bay did to giving Optimus Prime flames & make Ironhide black & grey, due to filming them in red would be hard to see when filming with a video camera… then you’re gonna get a blurry Optimus Prime and a blurry Ironhide.
Unless you want the first two movies to be filmed in a digital camera, which Bay used for filming the rest of the movies starting with 3.
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios I know the reasons. I just don't care. Considering that movie 3 looks dang good (story issues aside), yes. I'd prefer that.
Great rewrite. However, I will say that the opening narration feels quite unnecessary, as much of what was stated is already shown in the prologue.
Maybe, but opening monologes are a staple of Transformers media, one I'm particularly fond of.
But i like ironhide being black, its add more color diversity.
You can like it all you want. I don't. I prefer him red.
