It's not blue it's just highly reflective look at his arm when he grabs megatron his armor is super shiny and stuff just think what happens when you reflect light off something

I would believe the reason for the arm constantly switching back to Blue would be due to the fact that back then recording footage of objects that are red was extremely difficult. This was the main reason we ended up receiving changes to original character designs I.E. Ratchet and Ironhide color change along with Optimus sporting blue flames across his model. So in some scenes where the focus is taken away from Optimus's entire body to make sure the model does rendure correctly the color pallet switched to blue so there would be an actual model on the screen instead of Optimus's arm part just warping in and out of existence.

I would imagine they would use uv mapping for textures so the blue arm was a mistake. but if they didn't then yes, the blue arm could've been them stopping the rig from causing render glitches.

My theory is that this was done to make those shots look "better" with the same logic Michael Bay has about why he hates filming red vehicles. Considering that its such a subtle change and only done in a few shots, this doesnt really sound like much of a stretch especially considering the fact that the cgi team likely did this intentionally as it is consistently and only on the one panel of the right arm.

Optimus first time transforming on screen was a cinematic spectacle!

One thing worth pointing out is that the 2007 Leader Class Optimus Prime toy has those exact same blue arms. As a kid I always wondered why they were like that. Maybe in both situations the blue arm is a leftover from an earlier design?

I spotted it some time ago and thought it had something to do with either the blue coloring of the flames or was due to the sun visor on top of his cab in vehicle mode. Edit: I looked at the Transformers Arrival scene, and it fixes itself shortly before Optimus answers Spike's question as to who Megatron is. That is indeed a well spotted error!😊👍

The blue is the outside panel on most and not the inside more robotic parts

Well, all I can say is that no movie project is 100% perfect and that we will always see movie errors no matter how perfect looking it is. Editors are great at making the big pictures that will draw our attention, but when looking for the little things that we don't see, it is something that will leave you to remember for a lifetime.

I think it was meant for the Ion Blaster because when Prime holds it, it has blue on it. But they forgot about it...

I heard from some youtuber that, when in 2007, the colour red is difficult to animate/cgi in moving scenes so they decided to design Optimus Prime blue for most of the part rather than red like his G1 design. I think blue right arm error should be related to that.

I found out about this error about a year ago. I probably regret noticing it the most. Just as you can notice the gentleman (probably M. Bay) during the first transformation. An interesting thing is that in the TF 2007 trailer, the hand part is red.

In G1, it's easy to notice the errors on your own. But I with any Transformers shows that came out after G1, it would take years for people to notice them, it has to take like one KZreadr to point them out.

Some people: these movies are so good, I can’t find a single mistake. Theorymus: hold my studio series figures.

I'm no VFX artist, but it seems to commonly appear in all scenarios post-transformation. In scenes where it'd be the most noticeable, like for instance his energon blades coming out of his arms, it was often fixed, leading me to believe it was a fix post-VFX finalizations. So in scenes were it wasn't as noticeable without pointing it out, it wasn't fixed. So the VFX artists, after scenes were already rendered out and have gone through several stages of compositing, would fix it. It could have been in error that it was blue, or a change that happened later.

Great stuff!

About the early concept animation of The Forest Battle in ROTF. Is that it shows Megatron in his 2007 form fighting Optimus instead of his tank like form that He got for actual Movie. Something tells that The Animation Team wanted to bring back Megatron's 2007 form, But I'm guessing they thought it would be more cooler if they gave him a different Form/Vehicle Mode.

Awsome video Theorymus! I have a video idea called What if i survived for Brawl where brawl survives mission city and lives up to TF5; where the other combaticons go to earth along with onslaught and form bruticus in TLK

1:02 I think I just saw blue arm in the darn into lmao

I made eye contact with you in this video and you DON’T BLINK!!!

I learn something new about these movies everyday.

I don't know if you did this, but you should maya video of all the errors in mistakes in every transformers films. Especially bumblebee. Like example: in the 2007 film, the scene where uncle bobby was showcasing the rest of the cars after sam's dad didn't want to pay for bumblebee, and that bumblebee created a sonic boom that broke the glass off of all the cars, you can see a shadow pan over uncle bobby. That shadow is a microphone. Of course I wouldn't know that as a kid, but I found out growing up.

Now I'll never look the same way again when watching the iconic scene where Optimus bends down to Sam and Mikaela.

It probably was some type of glitch that happened and no one noticed it, but I was always curious why there was blue in parts of the arm where there wasn't supposed to be.

I Believe that the reason why is because it might've been the og color the cgi team was going for. But due to the time they had and they model they got, they maybe just couldn't get the og color of prime. Just a theory tho!

Bring back the what if I survived series with what if Sideswipe survived.

My theory as to why it could've happened is that it might have been a material or texture bug that would happen when his right arm was out of focus

@Gon3600

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say out of focuses, they probably just moved an empty

This came earlier than I thought!

I think when it comes to CGI, there are usually different models that the animators use for different purposes or scenes. This is why we see the blue arm when Optimus was transforming as it was probably the model used by the animators for only when Optimus is transforming. I can't really explain why there are scenes where Optimus didn't transform but still have the blue arm, but I think the animators just chose the wrong model because as we can see, both of the regular and blue armed model don't really have any differences other than, well, the blue arm so the animators must've gotten switched up. Though again, that's just my speculation.

I think it happens due to either uv mapping error or or someone just changed something in the normal map. I may be wrong but If there's an animation in the textures for the transformation it could be constricted by an empty or simply on the wrong axis

Just noticed this error thanks for staying this error

I like to think it's a reference to the most iconic G1 Animation Error: Blue Optimus

I have noticed it in a few places. Mostly at the observatory. It hasn't lived rent-free in my head. Maybe that's just because there are still chunks of red, and it's only the flames that are missing

My theory about his blue right arm is the next: Thanks to some GMC commercials, I was able to see that in many promotional imagery of the movie, they were working with a previous render of Optimus, where most of his pieces were casted on blue. My point is, that they were working with that previous unfinished model in most of the scenes, and then the finalized version was out, and they might have missed those mistakes on Prime's model. That, or maybe there was a glitch on that specific model.
