(Epic Music) (Mechanical Sounds Effects) With Transformers The Last Knight seeming to be the climax of the live action Universe and Bumbelebee's solo film going back to square 1 this is the perfect time to see who's the strongest alien in the robot slug fest. "I'll take you all on!" What's up you guys my name is RBG and to commemorate 10 years of Bayformers I wanna present my top 16 list of the strongest Transformers. In this upload I'll be explaining why each robot has earn their specific spots, from their abilities, to their kill counts. So without further ado let's jump right into it. Number 16: Ratchet. Although he's a pacifist combat medic, Ratchet can still throw down with the best of them. Coming in around 20 feet tall with a wide array of accessories, Ratchet is armed with a heavy machine gun and a saw that'll leave any Decepticon licking their wounds. He also has an assortment of other tools at his disposal; in the movie, he uses a red laser to scan and try to calibrate Bumblebee's voicebox and he has an enhanced sense of smell. "The boy's pheromone levels suggest that he wants to mate with the female" As seen in the 1st film he's surprisingly agile for his size. According to the Transformers Movie Guide book Ratchet is one of the few Autobots that could conceivably give Megatron a decent fight one-on-one before being dismembered and fed upon. He can also tow up to 300 lbs over his own weight in vehicle form. He may not be the strongest Autobot but the years of being at the heart of war makes him a worthy contender on this list. Number 15: Barricade Barricade is one of the major antagonists and a central Decepticon in the first film. He was even the very 1st robot to speak. He is a hunter/scout of the Decepticons, choosing his vehicle mode to easily hide among the humans as a symbol of authority. His persona appears to be that of the cliché "bad cop", as he fiercely interrogates Sam Witwicky once he locates him. "Are you Username: Ladiesman217?!?" "I dunno what you're talking about!" "Are you Username: Ladiesman217?!?" He mainly elongates his arms to reveal these weird spinny spikey bladed wheel nunchucks in his hands and uses them as close-combat striking weapons. He also has a long chain with a wheel on the end that reveals a set of cybertanium blades which form a large blade wheel. But these awesome perks couldn't get him higher on the list and that's due to the fact that he hasn't necessarily put in work in regards to kills. If I can recall, he only has 1 kill under his belt where he aids a fellow Decepticon in the brutal execution of Que. It seems like in every film he shows how gruesome he can be shortly before he becomes cannon fodder. Like seriously this guy gets his ass handed to him in the worst of ways. From an aesthetics standpoint he may seem to be 1 of the most powerful especially given his attendance record in the films. Back by popular demand Barricade returned in Transformers: The Last Knight, having survived and being kept under surveillance for years since the battle of Chicago. He features a new vehicle and robot mode with an arm-mounted gattling-gun and a pair of knuckledusters with the words "Punish" and "Enslave" written on them, as a throwback to his original alt mode. But the new upgrades didn't prevent him from being incapacitated by Grimlock midway in the movie. Number 14: Sideswipe Say what you want about his somewhat bland devil may care dialogue and minimal appearances, Sideswipe is 1 of those characters that steals every scene he's in. As soon as he makes his onscreen debut in Revenge of the Fallen he shows the viewers that a Decepticon can be taken out heinously in the most stylish way possible. Using his wheeled feet to maneuver, Sideswipe somersaulted over his 1st victim while shooting at him, finishing them off with a blade right down the middle of their alt mode like butter. "Damn I'm good." He later aids his mentor Iron Hide in killing the dread bots in Dark of the Moon but after that movie he mysteriously vanishes creating theories on if he survived or got killed by Cemetary Wind. There's nothing more that I can say about how awesome Sideswipe is. I just hope we see him again in future films. Number 13: Jetfire Jetfire is 1 of those intricate characters who I had a hard time deciding on where he should be ranked on this list. If he was in his prime he would've easily made top 5 but since he's aged way past that point he comes in at 13. Originally serving the Fallen, Jetfire is one of the few Transformers to remain on Earth since the dawn of humanity. However, when the other Primes confronted the Fallen, Jetfire realized his mistake, and was teleported to an unknown location. He fought many other ancient Decepticons there and eventually went into stasis after his victory. So as you can see, our boy Jetfire was a legend who could throw down with the best of them including the Primes. But like most living beings his body went south. After years without a proper source of energon, he's practically falling apart. He's got rust in places he didn't even know he had. But he's still a fine asset, powerful and able to activate a space bridge to teleport across the galaxy. This is slightly offset by the fact he's so old, so passengers will mostly likely be in for a bumpy ride. According to the biography and statistics published on the Hasbro web site, Jetfire is 50 feet tall and his main weapon is a battleaxe. In the film, he also has a missile launcher. As a comical emphasis on his old age, he carries a walking stick that transforms into the front landing gear of his jet mode. In the film he can project hologram clips from the palm of his left hand similar to how Optimus Prime did in the 2007 film though his eyes. As I mentioned earlier if he was in top top condition he'd make quick work of any Transformer who tries to challenge him. But we still get taste of his immense power through his combination with Optimus Prime. Number 12: Drift The former Decepticon assassin who's adopted the Samurai tradition. After the original wave of secondary Autobots from the 1st 3 films were wiped clean from the roster, Drift became an instant favorite of mine. He had already become a recent fave after his recent introduction in the IDW comics especially with his story driven backstory. Whilst this incarnation of Drift differs from designs of the G1 IDW comics incarnation, he has some similarities such as being a samurai and a former Decepticon, however the part where he was a former Decepticon is not mentioned in the movie but it is brought up in Rise of the Dark Spark video game and the AOE toy line. Despite the dark times upon the Autobots, Drift remains calm, dignified, and thoughtful, often taking time to practice his swordsmanship. Leaving the Decepticons didn't automatically fix everything, though. Since he's turned over a new leaf you can find him spouting haikus while meditating but his evil assassin way can easily resurface, making him a blade swinging manic. "No hate. No anger." "Get off you maggot!" "I'll kill you flying rat!" But those crazy antics and lingering rage come in handy on the battlefield. If you enjoy watching character like Sideswipe do their thing, then you'll love absolutely love watching Drift lay waste to Decepticons with grace. Number 11: Shockwave This Decepticon's making top honors simply based on the collateral damage he caused in his 1st and only film. Emotionless, coldly logical, utterly ruthless...killing is all Shockwave lives for. It's rumored that he was gonna be the main villain of Dark of the Moon and judging by his menacing appearances throughout the film, I'm obliged to believe it. Like his original incarnation he's armed with a hand cannon, a multiple rocket launcher and a blade, and during the film he commands Driller, a massive and powerful Cybertonian animal. I really loved his solid hard shell design, it's like he decided to stay in his original protoforms because he absolutely abhors humans and their technology. I think he's killed the most humans out of all the Decepticons after he destroyed that building in the Chicago incident. Number 10: Starscream The most duplicitous and cunning villain in the series, Starscream is 1 of those Decepticons that deserves the top spot on the power scale. Right off the bat he demands attention when he single handedly launched an attack that crippled Bumblebee as Ironhide realized too late who the fighter really was. He proves that he can be aggressive in his pursuits where he targets Sam, destroying every obstacle in his way. I know he doesn't always exhibit some the brave qualities of his captain but he's smarter and knows when to retreat when things get hot. "Not to call you a coward, Master. But sometimes cowards do survive." Starscream is armed with a rotary cannon, missile launchers and a saw. Don't let this cowardly Dorito shaped antagonist fool you like he did that squad of F-22 Raptors in the 1st film. He can easily blend in transforming in and out of his alt mode performing some kind of jet judo shit. It's unfortunate that we didn't get to see our treacherous villain overthrow Megatron. It would've been cool even if it was only for a split second. Number 9: Ironhide The Autobots' cantankerous but noble weapons specialist, Ironhide is considered 1 of the toughest Transformers out of both factions. He's really 1 of my favorites on the list who I wish didn't get killed off. He is a tough soldier who has sustained many injuries. His right eye has a large scar surrounding it. Before arriving on Earth, he sustained a broken ankle. According to the tech specifications of his toy, he was built during the Battle of Tyger Pax and is one of the oldest Autobots. Ironhide is armed with shell cannons which he occasionally likes to flaunt every now and then. In Dark of the Moon, he has a new rifle and a new rocket launcher invented by Que/Wheeljack. The weapons in Ironhide's CGI model have over 10,000 pieces each. According to an interview with Industrial Light and Magic, Ironhide's guns alone have more pieces than some of the other Transformers in the films Although he's old, he's still hard. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. "Class dismissed" Number 8: Bumblebee The youngest of the Autobots, Bumblebee is very immature, short-tempered, hot-headed, impulsive, reckless and impatient as he often lets his emotions or temper get the better of him. But on the battlefield, Bumblebee is a capable fighter. Out of all the Transformers he has the second highest kill count, even beating out Megatron on the score board. He is undoubtedly one of the strongest and most powerful of the Autobots. So strong that he can manage to hang tick for tack in a battle with a mind controlled Optimus Prime. If you would've told G1 fans that he would be in the upper echelon of Transformer power levels, they'd probably look at you and laugh. this resurgence of popularity in the Bey
films I have to say he deserves it you see bee is one of those robots who
continuously evolve in each film he's featured in not only from an aesthetics
point but from an artillery one in the first and second films bumblebee
is armed with a plasma cannon that is capable of selective fire and from
onward in the later films he goes into a cosmetic overhaul thanks in part to the
records he has a stealth fourth battle mode in which he can use weapons in car
mode without fully transforming and still being able to see the driver and
passenger in age of extinction he goes into an extreme makeover after he
half-heartedly scans a 2014 Camaro concept car after acquired a new armor
he has this weird spiky arm mounted ion blaster similar to the one Megatron used
in revenge of the Fallen he's also fitted with these retractable guns that
shoot out clustered missiles finally in TF 5 he's given this unexplained ability
of being able to blow himself up and reassemble himself he also has a hammer
that can easily be mistaken for the forge of Solus number 7
Grimlock back when paramount and Hasbro announced that they were gonna be
releasing a live-action Transformers film Grimlock was one of the most
demanded Autobots fans wanted to see make the cut unfortunately for whatever
reason whether it be for production cost or lack of proper setup it took them
four films to finally make an end considered a legendary night in the
former trophy of lockdown this giant horn t-rex is a force to be reckoned
with after the Autobots escaped with the part
of the ship holding them Optimus releases the Dinobots for backup but in
order to gain their trust he's forced to do battle with the down--all black king
himself we leave you despite a submit size and
strength Grimlock gets his ass handed to him
submitting to Optimus Grimlock allows often used to ride him into battle into
Hong Kong an Asian destroying the ksi Decepticons and protecting the sea this
version of the Autobot behemoth is largest in the previous incarnations
equipped with a spiked fist that doubles as a Mason a huge mallet his general
approach is to smash at first and worry about the specifics later this attitude
extends to is all about companions who are expected to meet Grimlock standard
of strength he also possesses the ability to melt each a seal for any
Decepticon with his fire breath number 6 Megatron / Galvatron now I gotta admit
throughout the entirety of the BEI verse Megatron has to be one of the most
disappointing aspects based on his status and the TF franchise alone he
should be much higher on this list but due to the unconsciousness ease in his
power I had to rate him a little lower initially I felt like he may have been
way too overpowered at the witnessing him easily outdo Optimus in the first
film but in the following sequels he became nothing more than a secondary
minion to the main boss Kurt just like the Fallen Sentinel Prime and even
Quintessa seemed to play a larger role while Megatron hung out in the back I
guess you can say that it made sense for him to play second fiddle to those
mentioned since they were a highly prestige crimes I mean I have to give
him credit he did successfully kill Optimus in the second film if not for a
brief moment and watching him gain the upper hand over his former brother as
Galvatron kind of made me a fan again in the last night I felt like he would
actually do more but he just kicks off his why he's down and runs off like a
little bitch you turn your back on Cybertron
now you will watch but anyways everything else to love about the big
bad Decepticon daddy is still kept intact as I mentioned he's just as
powerful as he is vicious and the simple fact that he's managed to survive this
long just goes to show that every dog has a stake in the first film he uses a
signature ball and chain and he's able to form both his arms into this sick
cannon and revenge of the Fallen he takes on more of his ivw traits
transforming into a tank that doubles as a Cybertronian jet
he also wills his signature arm mount at Iron blaster three years after operation
firestorm and he definitely fallen Megatron finally adopted a earth farm
instead of using the arm blaster he uses a shotgun
now Galvatron I'd rather not talk about since he doesn't really possess any
actual weapons except truck muscles and his transformium transformation yeah but
in to5 he gets he out of this world upgrade that takes the best features of
the previous films he asked his Cybertronian jet mode back along with
his arm blaster and he now wills dis gnarly battle axe number five sendou
prime the legendary warrior thought to have been lost long ago and his Optimus
Prime's direct predecessor mentor and father figure his intentions were to
restore Cybertron to which former glory but as the war dragged on he was driven
mad by desperation causing him to turn against his ideal as an allied with
Megatron of Decepticons I personally loved this version of Sentinel his
overall design concept puts me in the mind of one of those traditional
Japanese mechs like the highly praised Gundam series and his beard makes him
resemble alpha Trion unlike his animated counterpart he plays more of a villain
in the live-action movies it was he who taught Optimus the ideals of freedom to
all sentient beings Sentinel his arm with a shield a double bladed prime max
blade that can be folded into one and a cosmic rust cannon that causes any metal
object that it hits to rust into oblivion we witnessed the effects of
this devastating weapon that it was used to kill Ironhide shooting him twice in
the back and once in the chest are you from beauty he is truly a heavy
hitter he that makes Megatron look like a little beeyotch in certain scenes in
this door without miss he seems to have lost his touch but he eventually
overpowers him and severs his arm I believe if he was just a tad bit
younger and Megatron hadn't interfered Senna would have ultimately succeeded in
his plans of restoring Cybertron number four the Fallen the rogue prime formerly
known as Megatron us the Fallen would gain his current moniker by turning
against his six prime brothers he's immensely powerful he commands mystic in
tropic arts and when at for strength he can unmake creation at his focus wheel
he asked the ability to teleport and generate a shock wave upon reappearance
but this power is only revealed after he drains the energy from the protoform
hatchlings on the ship to regain his strength poor babies he's only with a
void center and he has telepathic powers also this guy had to make it in the top
five because he has so many abilities that puts his Decepticon minions to
shame it looked to be a dark time for the Autobots considering he was
literally going to harvest the Earth's Sun but thankfully Optimus Prime was
able to gain the matrix of leadership and combine with jet fire to take him
out number three locked down an extremely
powerful relentless heavily enhanced ruthless Cybertronian bounty hunter
lockdowns not to be played with I vividly remember seeing this dude in
transformers the animated series he proved to be a pretty formidable
antagonist especially for prowl but I never imagined you to see him in the
live-action films he's in the top 3 because he's not really a good or bad
guy he's a bot on a mission whose scuffled with the best of them
lockdown holds himself above the autobot and decepticon war and sees both sides
of squabbling children he doesn't think much higher of other civilizations
across the galaxy particularly the humans but he doesn't mind working with
them if there is something good in it for him that's planet we I was saying
the enemy of my enemy is my friend I also ever say I don't care and it looks
like it had to be a good business move because thanks to a secret deal with
cemetery Wynne he was lucky to obtain one of the new Knights Optimus Prime
he's one of the dirtiest fighters and doesn't really care what he has to do in
order to fulfill his contract eager to destroy entire planets if necessary
lock-on is also an obvious looter who feels the need to keep his victims
belongings whether it be weapons ships even sparks his robot mode slightly
resembles Optimus Primal appearance and Beast Machines but also features a scar
on his left face and he is capable of turning his helmet into a gun and he
uses a hook at some time in the past lockdown captured the legendary Dinobot
knights and took over the night ship this guy was probably one of the
toughest to take down since he seemed to be well versed in combat
it took bumblebee and even the aid of the humans to help optimus lay him out
number two Quintessa the mysterious Cybertronian sorceress who claims to be
the prime of life and you created the bracelet II Transformers she has a staff
with the power of Cybertron but her Knights betrayed her and stole her stuff
and hid it on earth after Cybertron was destroyed and dark in the moon Optimus
Prime arrives at the barren planet where he was coming for questions on why his
creators want him back now one could argue that Quintessa was easily able to
capture Optimus Prime and turned him into Nemesis due to how weakened he was
on his journey but how exactly would she'd be able to do this with Megatron
and all the other robots that follow her I mean she has to be some kind of
ass-kicking fembot right she was easily able to subdue Optimus
with this word MK ULTRA electrotherapy she was the closer to destroying the
earth in destroying Cybertron so she deserves the number two spot Quintessa
also appears to have the ability to create blue balls of electricity and
throw them as projectiles and although her plan was ultimately thought that she
was able to survive in disguise herself as a human Esther has plans to destroy
the horns of Unicron number one Optimus Prime did you even have to guess now I
have to admit originally Quintessa was gonna be number one on my list but since
Optimus has seemed to pretty much endure a buttload of punishment to his body and
psyche throughout the films he gets numero uno
dare do you forget Who I am the last prime of the dynasty of primes wanted
the Knights of Cybertron keeper of the matrix of leadership and the narrator of
the series Bey Optimus is built tough he gives a good amount of intimidation
while giving off that sense of traditional heroism of the character as
well as bringing a sense of humor anyways Optimus is shown to be
exceptionally formidable in hand-to-hand combat in fact the only ones that have
been able to defeat him in combat or some Megatron's Sentinel Prime in
lockdown and most of Megatron's victories were caused because Optimus
was already worn down after fighting someone else he's also a formidable
swordsman with his early John blades he was able to kill Megatron with only norm
and a battle axe within 15 seconds as shown in a third movie Optimus Prime was
also able to decapitate the trailer but it makes short work of shockwave any
Transformers movie guideline book it said that Optimus has an enhanced
healing factor and the second movie a badly damaged Optimus Prime was healing
during the time jet virus parts were combining with them it's also said that
as long as he possesses the matrix of leadership he's damn near invincible
this is further indicated by the way he was able to survive a sword through the
chest from lockdown in the fourth movie unlike his other incarnations who seemed
to be more merciful this problem is not one for second chances and is willing to
consider any action that might lead to victory and that pretty much completes my list I
had fun making this video and it was something I wanted to do for a while but
I wanted to wait until the movie verse got at its highest in regards to power
levels if your favorite transformer didn't make the list and you feel they
should have leave their names in the comment section below please make sure
to rape that like button if you enjoyed it and if you absolutely hated the video
or hate me for some reason click the thumbs down button also if you like the
Transformers videos that I present and want to see more subscribe and hit that
