History Awesome / Transformers

* The film opens with the Creator/DreamWorks and Paramount logos. It is quite ominous. But then...

** It's hard to tell if it is [[TakeThatMe self deprecation]] or just [[Creator/MichaelBay Michael Bay's]] AwesomeEgo showing through, but one of the bystanders at Ratchet's crash site says that it's, "A thousand times cooler than ''{{Film/Armageddon}}''!"

** The majesty of that scene can be accredited to the music; but its awesomeness goes deeper. The way each of the Autobots scans their alternate modes, while avoiding the general public, ''becoming'' the iconic heroes we know. The crash scene in the countryside where Optimus came down; Ironhide rising from the pool as a scared little girl clutches her [[ShoutOut My Little Pony doll.]]

** This troper was at the midnight showing and the crowd went BUGNUTS during this scene. It was AWESOME!

--> [[AC:Optimus Prime:]] ''Before time began, there was... '''the Cube.'''''

->'''Megatron''': ''Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?''
->'''Optimus Prime''': ''[[ShutUpHannibal You'll never stop at one.]] '''[[OneManArmy I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON!]]'''''

* When Sam asks Bumblebee where he came from, he gestures towards the night sky: "[[Franchise/StarTrek Message from Starfleet, Captain]]"..."throughout the inanimate vastness of space"..."[[PreacherMan and angels will rain down like visitors from Heaven! Hallelujah!]]"

--> '''F-22 Pilot''': Stay on him! ''Get this guy!''

* Say what you want about [[TheScrappy Sam Witwicky,]] he saved two grand and managed to convince his teacher to give him three A's in high school just so he could get a car. Not easy.

* When Spike asks Bumblebee where he came from, he gestures towards the night sky: "[[Franchise/StarTrek Message from Starfleet, Captain]]"..."throughout the inanimate vastness of space"..."[[PreacherMan and angels will rain down like visitors from Heaven! Hallelujah!]]"
%%Does anyone know where "throughout the inanimate vastness of space" came from?

* Bumblebee's line, as he gestures towards the night sky, "[[Franchise/StarTrek Message from Starfleet, Captain]]"..."throughout the inanimate vastness of space"..."[[PreacherMan and angels will rain down like visitors from Heaven! Hallelujah!]]"

** It's hard to tell if it is [[TakeThatMe self deprecation]] or just [[Creator/MichaelBay Michael Bay's]] AwesomeEgo showing through, but one of the bystanders at Ratchet's crash site says that it's, "A thousand times cooler than {{Film/Armageddon}}!"

** The true awesomeness of this, for those who have not watched the movie, this is the return of Peter Cullen to the voice role of Optimus Prime after more than 20 years.

* ''Awesome/TheTransformers'' (TV series, 1984-1987; and comic book series, 1984-1991)

* In Spotlight: Metroplex, Sixshot hunts the Throttlebots through (unbeknownst to him) Metroplex's alleyways. Just as he's about to kill off one of the Throttlebots for good, [[spoiler:Metroplex pops his arm out and pounds Sixshot full-force into the ground with his fist]]. And then Sixshot ''stands up again''. So [[spoiler:Metroplex transforms into his ridiculously gigantic robot mode and ''steps'' on Sixshot]]. (In a splash panel spanning two entire pages, no less.) At the end of the issue we see that Sixshot [[spoiler:is still ''alive and moving'' after all that, albeit quite crushed and mangled]]. Really it's a case of both the good and bad guy getting a moment of awesome at the same time.

** Three words: ''Bring the rain''. The A-10's and AC-130 lay down a hellstorm on Scorponok that the Decepticons will never forget.

** Sam is running from Barricade. He gets bogged down by keeping Mikaela from getting herself killed. Barricade is almost on top of them. That's when Bumblebee [[BigDamnHeroes slides into]] [[CarFu his legs]] and encourages the kids to climb in. No, that isn't the awesome part. The awesome part is when they are fleeing the scene and Barricade rolls over like an animal, lunges forward, and transforms into car mode in midair! Immediately followed by the car chase with [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome rockin' background music.]] The scene was so amazing, it elicited ''applause'' in theatres.

* The Autobot's arrival is awesome in a way that surpasses words. It is... magical. The track [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "Arrival to Earth"]] is so iconic of the film, it is the only piece to be used in all the films thus far; Steve Jablonksy did amazing work.

** On a side note, [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome the CGI]] used to render the Allspark's fall through space is simply beautiful.

-->'''Mikaela''': I have a record because I went and turned my dad in. When have you had to sacrifice anything in your perfect little life?
