Transformers has been a super huge brand for decades and always a popular product on toy shelves everywhere. The idea of having Michael Bay make a feature-length commercial for them filled with cool cars, military stuff, pretty girls and explosions seemed like a no-brainer! And a no-brainer it definitely was.
Transformers does raise some questions though. Like what are the odds that Sam Witwicky would be car-shopping on the very same day a shapeshifting car robot was looking for him? Why did that robot attack the soldiers a second time if they didn’t have any data? Why is Mikaela eating at Burger King? Why does Megatron have the random ability of etching coordinates into tiny pieces of glass? How is Megatron speaking English? Why did the soldiers think it would be a good idea to go hide the Allspark in a densely-populated city?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Transformers! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I couldn’t believe that there hadn’t been a pitch meeting of this yet
Right.....when I got the notification, my first thought was, before I fully read the title, "Oh good, this must be one of their compilation videos." But no, surprisingly, the first one ever.
Yeah Ryan used fast at making pitch meeting about bad movies
that should have been the first line of this pitch.

For a second I wondered if they were talking about Transformers 2. These movies really run together.
nono transformers 2 is the one where they have a decepticon that can disguise itself as a human girl and it kisses sam and also there's another transformer with wrecking ball testicles.
Only way I can tell them apart is whether or not the chick is smoking hot, or just like regular hot, because they didn't have the same chick in the sequel, but they picked a girl who was almost as hot
@@MrHandss His name was Devastator, the one made up of 5 different transformers. There was another Devastator as well, the tank that Optimus rips apart in the first movie.
@@amihere383 ah ya the tank one
Actually Transformers 2 has a "2" in the title, so they're completely different movies, just completely different.
At this point I can hardly tell I'm watching a single person
You're not. That's producer guy and writer guy. They work together a
lot.
They are twins!

Nothing wrong with Sam hooking up with Mikaela. They were looking to bang almost the entire movie. The weird bit is that it happens in the open with a live autobot audience.
The director has a collection of videos showing Hollywood stars washing his cars seductively.
@@sindri1447 why weird ? do you think robots that TRANSFORMS have problem with genitalia ? or sex ? they problably find it hilariously primitive..
"Making a pitch meeting for Michael Bay movies is super easy, barely an inconvenience."

“I’m pretty sure people had internet, in 1895.”

"So this is a story, kind of." That summarizes every Transformers movie.
Wowowow...wow.

@@memyself898 all except Six Underground, which was a backdoor critique of the entire Super Hero genre. But I think that had more to do with Ryan Reynolds than Michael Bay.
Wrong
Watching how Ryan does this Channel and his personal channel at the same time and it is BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE in his life makes me happy to be a fan
I didn't realize the speech about having the guts to get in the car was an 'unnatural' thing to say in that situation. My friends always goaded each other on with "You don't wanna look back x-years from now and say you didn't have the balls to do it". Must be a regional thing.
Or your friends are a bunch of douches.
Seemed normal to me too. Maybe Producer Guy is a freakin weirdo.
Haha exactly what I thought, I would use the same argument all the time 😅
"They will talk about their likes and values"
*one second later*
"one of them likes baseball and beer"
Good, cause that’s all the backstory you’re gonna get.
What's the "one second later" for? You literally quoted a line from the video we all just watched. The dude said they talk about something, then continues detailing what that something includes. There's nothing special about it. That's like adding "pauses to take a breath", or "pauses for a comma". It's redundant.

Transformers, brought to you by General Motors product placement.
With all the product discussion in the pitch for this advertisement, I am surprised they didn’t even mention the biggest one.
And it worked, probably one of the most effective product placements in history.

The head nod/tilts for emphasis get me every time!! Very funny! I’m hooked in these!!
"Pow pow boom boom boom bam!"
"Okay, that makes more sense"
I like the very presidential "bing bing bong". 🤣
The "Bam" was the topper.
Damnit, I was gonna quote that to get a bunch of upvotes.
One critique: They didn't move the All Spark to the Hoover Dam. They built the dam around it to hide it and didn't move it at all. They only brought Megatron there (he crashed in the Arctic while going to Earth to retrieve the cube). So the coordinates on the glasses were still for the All Spark's crash site (where the Hoover Dam was built)
I remembered the whole movie being the discepency.
@Former Auror I think they were trying to be nice? Plus suspension of disbelief. I dont think giant robot aliens are real either...
@Former Auror so rude, chill

The way you say “Pepto Bismol” stimulates the satisfaction center of my brain.
You know you're addicted to this series when you hear the Producer remark that something sounds like it's going to be difficult, and you know what's coming next!
no... you know yer addicted when you can tell a few sentences before that they are leading up to a topic where he can say "that sounds like it's gonna be difficult"...
“It’s gonna be extremely simple, only remotely a nuisance!”
My favourite description of Transformers is from Honest Trailers: "90 minutes of moving pictures and loud noises that because it was filmed on a camera technically qualifies as a movie"
And yet the sequels all managed to be far less coherent.
"So, you have a Transformers sequel for me?"
"Yes sir, I do."
Later: - "So the All-Spark killed Megatron in the last movie, but it's also the one thing that can bring him back to life in this movie? That doesn't make any sense."
"Sir, I'm going to need you to get aaaaalll the way off my back about anything making sense in these movies."
"Okay, let me get off that thing."
These are brilliant, I'm working my way through them in no particular order.
3:59 actually they WERE heading to the Arctic, but Bumblebee passed them in the other direction and they turned around. Great pitch meeting as always though!

Bumblebee was actually kind of decent. It was the only one not directed by michael baysplosion.
@@andrewkeller1117 Yeah, but the best part of Bumblebee was the first like 4 minutes, when it's all on Cybertron. I nearly cried when Soundwave and Shockwave popped up, looking and sounding exactly like they do in G1

I can see this entire conversation being the exact, word-for-word real-life pitch meeting for the movie!
Ryan, you're just geting better and better at this!
Fun joke about Megatron learning English but it does make perfect sense. He's been listening to tiny creatures babbling in it for decades. That's also why his first words would be "I am Megatron!" since, for the last few decades, the insects have been calling him "NBE1" and he's long since sick of it.
That makes way too much sense to have been planned and done intentionally
That... does actually make perfect sense. I’ve literally never thought about it like that XD
