G1: Teletraan II Files: Metroplex & Trypticon

[Monkeytank]

The year 2006. Where is my giant fucking robot city?

[somthineasy]

It's been 6 years since 06', Y we still nu have Transformers?

[CMDRKillsalot]

What episode is it when Metroplex & Trypticon are fighting over some kind of powercore?

I remember it looking lightly like a pink jewel.

[AeonMagnus]

@CMDRKillsalot Probably "The Ultimate Weapon", where the Decepticons steal Metroplex's transformation cog, so the Autobots steal Trypticon's.

[CMDRKillsalot]

@AeonMagnus Just finished watching it on here. That was definitely the episode I was remembering.

And I knew I was right about the pink transforming cog, but I didn't remember that Trypticon & Metroplex each had one, both being different colors.

Thanks again!

I'll have to pick up the G1 DVDs now. :)

[Itsallover57]

How do you make a giant robot cooler? Give it a Trex mode.

[smokescreen]

Trypticon is like one of the Zoids

[shinshun81]

Trypticon is Godzilla from Cybertron or the Decepticons' Godzilla (or Mechagodzilla maybe?).

[smokescreen]

@shinshun81 trypticon looks like one of the Zoids (black and purple Dinosaur) so as Blaster's Steel Jaw....(Zoids Liger Zero)

[DecoyOctopusUKHipHoP]

"A mobile menace with x-ray lasers and twin photon canons".

[egg64]

Oh Metroplex. The best $60 that could be spent on a boy, short of paying for a woman of the night. Clean, that is.

[Foxx1981]

X-ray lasers and photon cannons! Holy shit! WANT NOW MOM!

[TheJboy88]

Rodimus: What?! They have a city that turns into a giant dinosaur? How the hell do we compete with THAT?!

Ultra Magnus: You know Sir, we have a city transformer too.

Rodimus: What?

Ultra Magnus: Yeah, he's attatched to Autobot City.

Rodimus: Then why didn't we use him when the Decepticons attacked and killed Optimus in the movie?

Ultra Magnus:...........Forgot.

[startrekalien]

The Transformers that have it worse are the toilet bots.

[Hectotane]

Cyclonus: WHY IS THERE A DIRGE-COLORED ME BEHIND ME??!!

Blaster: Dere waz anotha ME buhind me. Don' sweat it, B.

[rbjohnson178]

That was awesome!

[rahnyc4]

didnt realize how horrible the animation was..

[myquill23]

Year 2006.. Ahahaha! :-)

[damo9811]

okay peeps,lets get somehing straight about this.metroplex is NOT autobot city.he is just a part of autobot city that can seperate from the main structure.as per the animated movie if you look at autobot city it looks completley different to metroplex city mode and autobot city DOES NOT have a robot mode

[seltjorn1]

Man, why didn't anyone wake me up back in 2006?! I missed all this action?! DAMN!

[sazomet]

trypticon looks like godzilla......

[bondus1008]

is morgan freeman narrating?

[AeonMagnus]

@bondus1008 Victor Caroli.

[BLAZIKEN90000000]

Metroplex IS OMEGA SUPREME ?

[InebriatedGalvatron]

@BLAZIKEN90000000 nope. metroplex is metroplex.

[laninodeoro]

Buy now at your nearest toy store!!!

[shyguy6334]

Just big were they? Were they they size a real city

[MrGhostly12321]

So this was a toy commercial?

[AeonMagnus]

@MrGhostly12321 More or less. The Teletraan II Files were tacked on to the end of some season three episodes as a coda before the closing titles. Although of course the entire series itself was one big toy commercial.

[trinaclark74]

@AeonMagnus in transformers war for Cybertron, the game, Trypticon was a orbital cannon. HE WAS BIGGER THAN THE G1 VERSION OF HIMSELF!

[CrushedJustice]

We need dinozord power now!

[revoislam]

living in a city which can transform into a robot is cool...lol

[kalogsrap]

its 2011 where's optimus?

hahaahha

[AeonMagnus]

@kalogsrap Dead. He died in 2005. Rodimus Prime would have replaced him.

[nathangonmad]

@AeonMagnus Never seen the episodes 'Return of Optimus Prime'?

[AeonMagnus]

@nathangonmad The Teletraan II Files are from Rodimus Prime's reign.

[VallaeBoy]

scamper...lmao

[studiotk4]

so this is the past? five years ago, two years after the jetsons....

[RobElJefe]

"which will it be?"

[TheBeak100]

the year 2006... I dont remembr any giant robots...

[tarnell4003]

@TheBeak100 lol

[poblo234]

@TheBeak100 thats because they were so top secret they were invisable

[trence5]

Aren't Fortress Maximus and Scorpinok even bigger?

[AeonMagnus]

@trence5 Probably, but: a) they weren't at the time, and b) we've never seen them together.

[damo9811]

@trence5 yes,they are much bigger.i have the fort max toy and he stands at about 2 feet tall...as a headmaster when you detach his head and transform it to robot mode [cerebious] he is the size of a regular transformer and then his head detaches and transformes [spike] into a robot the same size as the other headmaster partners...hope this gives you an idea of just how big the toy actually is

[TheGiandude]

autobot city and decepticon city... was creativity on a vacation in hawaii when they had the idea of these cities? lol still that was a great cartoon!

[ejektro]

Metroplex is my kind of town!

[ShootEmUpStar]

2006 my left butt check -_-

[Kosyghin]

Isn't it funny how some shows or movies predicted that in the years 2000, 2006, or 2010 would be super futuristic and totally different? And then we look around and think to ourselves, "Um yeah, we're in the future alright!"

[AcrylicApe]

Yeah X-ray lasers are deadly!!!!!

[boborag]

The animation seems so awful to how I remember it. Somebody call Japan we need some talented animators fast!

[egdeltur666]

Holy fucking shit!

Deadly X-Ray Lazors!!! We're all gonna die!

[eddie123698745]

oh god xray lasers run away

[ThePeblo]

worst commertial ever

[ThePeblo]

the year 2006 that's when classis started not the end when metroplex and trypticon fought

[TuhdTheTroll]

X-RAY LASERS!

[rush1er]

It's 2011 and I live in Tripticon City... his giant dinosuar turds stink up the entire town. And everytime he transforms, all the dishes in my house break and I have to run out to Wal-Matron city at 3:00am to buy more

[aborins]

Metroplex rulez!!!

[CrimsonMystery]

How do you just build an entire transforming city and give it life? I thought only Vector Sigma could give life to a transformer?

[PiperMMMMMMMMMM]

0:01, spike should be dead

[FireBomberBassist]

X-ray lasers?

[gongxia649]

a few questions.

which one is bigger grimlock or tripticon?

why tripticon has not robot human form?

Which one is bigger tripticon or omega supreme?

[AeonMagnus]

@gongxia649 Trypticon is a city. He's MUCH larger than Grimlock.

Trypticon's "robot" mode is his dinosaur mode. He's a dinosaur, a city and a battle-station. Just like Ravage is a jaguar and a cassette.

Trypticon should be larger than Omega Supreme, since he's a city, not just a rocket base. However, the cartoon was inconsistent with how big Metroplex, Trypticon and Omega Supreme were compared to the regular Transformers. Omega Supreme and Trypticon never appeared together in the G1 cartoon.

[kisslord007]

@AeonMagnus well in war for cybertron their about the same size

[AeonMagnus]

@kisslord007 This is G1.

[frag317]

@AeonMagnus War for cybertron is G1 canon. though its not like g1 was all about consistency anyways :P

[AeonMagnus]

@frag317 War for Cybertron is from the Aligned Continuity.

[frag317]

@kisslord007 

[bdpickett]

@kisslord007 Actually, in the game, Trypticon is significantly bigger than Omega. The opening is very deceiving.

[silentbob8201]

@kisslord007 And that was Kind of G1 apart from using Jetfire as the name instead of Skyfire like the show which never made sense or the character in general.

[radicalman33]

@AeonMagnus

perfect answer!

[MrGinijim]

@AeonMagnus that's right.City is much bigger than a rocket base.

[Invisiblefiyah]

@MrGinijim

not if they made the rocket base the size of a city

[DrewElderkin]

@AeonMagnus The inconsistant size always bugged me....Even unicron was somtimes way bigger and then not at other times..

[lolaturfaces]

@AeonMagnus Not only those 3.. but Unicron too! He would be a moon one episode and be the same size as optimus the next lol

[RodimusPrimal]

@AeonMagnus The cartoon also had mass shifting. In Robot Mode Omega Supreme was as big as Superion but in base mode he can carry a small squad of Autobots. Metroplex was much bigger in both robot mode and city mode.

[chelchi14]

@AeonMagnus scale was very inconsistent in the G1 cartoon with almost all the bots. It gets even more odd when comparing say the japanese season4 (I didn't like it) with the Marvel comics (all over the place too), and so on. Even weather Metroplex and Trypticon were whole cities, or just a major chunk of a city like the downtown area, it would vary episode to episode. I figure just take your pick which way you like the characters better.

[NedN00b]

@AeonMagnus I have no problem with Omega being bigger. Megatron was a toy gun. He shouldn't have been as big as Optimus. Blaster and Soundwave are also good examples of disproportionate transformations.

[puertorock1976]

Wow can't wait till 2006 when Autobot city is built!!!!

[Arzaker]

godzilla vs jet jaguar with missles

[reckoning316]

@AeonMagnus cool. thanx

[reckoning316]

@AeonMagnus what does TFA mean?

[AeonMagnus]

@reckoning316 Transformers Animated, which is the cartoon series that ran from 2007-2009.

[OSCARSIDEAS]

War for cybertron Trypticon is better

[piplup2009]

its that narrator guy from WFC :D

[StarFighters76]

They say that the volcano was destroyed by the Decepticons, so they had to build Autobot City. thus making Metroplex. And to counter him, Trypticon was built. Here's the problem though, Autobot volcano HQ was destroyed by Trypticon lol.

[YeldellGW]

@StarFighters76 Metroplex was already around before the arc was destroyed. Check 5 Faces of Darkness pt 5.

[PiperMMMMMMMMMM]

0:02, spark should be dead

[blackheart31000]

Metroplex is bigger and better

[ex0ja]

year 2006!

[cheatmaster123456]

Why did they mess up Trypticon in WFC?

[tkemert20]

@cheatmaster123456 WTF are you talking about? Trypticon was awesome in WFC.

[cheatmaster123456]

@tkemert20 Well for starters, he's not a triple changer anymore. He transformers in a Space Station. And Scatterblaster shouldn't even be there.

[tkemert20]

@cheatmaster123456 Why does it matter, it's just a robot dinosaur, who even cares?

[cliffthelightning]

2006 oehhhh high tech! 

[JUSTSAYAH1972]

there fighting in a city yet they stepped on huts lol!

[lizerdspherex]

X ray laysers? Might as well have Atomic Ice Breath

[halloweenfan92]

trypticon is a mother fucker to fight in war for cybertron but they made a good model of him in the game

[TeeHee619]

lol 2006

[RigTig16]

If you ever read the bios on Omega Supreme and Metroplex of their respective boxes, it said that Metroplex could lift 75,000 tons while Omega Supreme Could lift 100,000 tons with his one clawed arm. So it would appear that Omega Supreme was stronger then Metroplex even though he was smaller in size to Metroplex.

[Bloodsport1]

@RigTig16 Dude, Omega Supreme's arm is a fucking shuttle or a rocket. Imagine the size of that thing. Damn skippy he's stronger than Metroplex.

[ydnab]

Was that Sheriff John Bennell?

[kyxpd9utdw32]

"year of 2006" =))

[jewifeifei]

omega supreme...?

[africanvenom]

i have been humming this music for the last 20 years its also crimefighters and turtles arcade boss music its driving me mad

[thoraxtofu]

im not much of transformers fan ut i did play war for cybertron and i feel likeits gona be a gateway drug.

[Cavillier1970]

Does anyone know if Trypticon came with smaller bots the way Scamper, Slammer & Six-Gun came with Metroplex?

[AeonMagnus]

He came with Full Tilt and Brunt.

[Cavillier1970]

@AeonMagnus Thanks. I wonder if they were as cool as Six-Gun though.

[darkshad0500]

0:05 there is a cyclonus mold with dirge colors....

[VoiceActorDreamer]

Metroplex is their last line of defence? What happened to Omega Supreme?

[messageofthemaker]

Well, 2006 has come and gone, and I still don't see Metroplex of Trypticon roaming about....

Oh wait! Here they are! Right on eBay!

< : D

[silver911surfer]

This whole story line is bullshit. Hasbro says you should buy Metroplex & Trypticon toys. This story lines is to make you buy new toys, psssss

[AeonMagnus]

It's not a story. It's a tag they put after the episode ends to showcase and promote the characters. This is _after_ the 20-something minutes of story.

[tymond2]

nice voice over i wonder who it is.

[godertwalter]

@tymond2 That's Victor Caroli

[mcstarvealot]

hahahah year 2006

[alexandergibbons]

Woah shit, not X-ray lasers!

[Razlo5000]

the decepticons.

Rightfully.

[BowserisOK]

there's probably more chance that trypticon will appear in the third film. have u seen how badass he looks in transformers war of cybertron.

[henry3889]

haha he called scamper dumb!

[AmanOU2be]

lol  Xray lasers

[Cloud198422]

I wonder if Micheal Bay is gonna use either one of these two next time.

[ironlykalion]

@Cloud198422 Michael Bay is a shit director, only reason his films where good was because of the CGI!

George Lucas or Spielberg should of been the directors, they are legends at what they do.

[darkshad0500]

don't forget that all of the explosions in rotf were real. that's just about all i'll give bay credit for

[lorddarthstar]

Cool:)

[detectiveconanaddict]

How bout Me Grimlock?

[amartinez97]

@detectiveconanaddict Soundwave superior grimlock inferior

Grimlock:STFU! "throws giant rock at soundwave"

[soseztheleadr]

Gotta love the memories.  ^^

[OnyxLeo]

I love how this guy says their names. XD

"Met-tro-plex and Tryp-ti-con are each others deadliest enemies."

[EmperorofCartoons]

@OnyxLeo How else would you pronounce them?

[AeonMagnus]

@EmperorofCartoons I don't think he was talking about the actual pronunciation, but rather how dramatically it's said. Like:

"You have... to get out... of the house."

[egdeltur666]

@AeonMagnus YOU HAVE...

TO GO...

INSIDE!!!

[Supercell2]

He had to many little pieces. His hands, the guns the little knee cap pieces....kept losing them..

[TF2Fan101]

I noticed a continuity error in TFA by how it was said that Omega Supreme was the Autobots last line of defense, while Metroplex is said to be their last line of defense..... MAKE UP YOUR MIND HASBRO!!!

[AeonMagnus]

G1 and TFA are not the same.

[xxcardUSAsian2xx]

@AeonMagnus Metroplex is the Last then Fortress Max is the last Omega is the last.

[diamonddeadlock59]

@TF2Fan101 omega supreme was the last line of defense on cybertron while metroplex is the last line of defense on earth for the autobot

[amartinez97]

@TF2Fan101 G1 and animated is not hte same dumbass why do you think the movies and the unicron triligy never tied in with g1? gulible basterd XD!!

[StarFighters76]

Wasn't it said that Slammer couldn't transform into a robot (I know I read this on a TF site somewheres)? If so, wouldn't that suck for him always stuck as a tank?

[AeonMagnus]

He's a drone, so he doesn't care that much.

[h8vok]

Oh Man! I remember watching that when I was kid and I sooo wanted that for Christmas!!!!

[lpncubs3]

@h8vok i might pick up metroplex later this month

[2346]

its 2009 and we don't have any giant ass cities that transformers...

[cooleggsman]

That' because in the Transformers universe the Transformers shared their technology with the Humans.

[themegashyguy]

0:05 two cyclonuses and one is colored like dirge and at 0:35 ratchet is colored like blaster

[secret212000]

man...what kind of weed were they smoking back in the 80s to come up with transforming cities that fight each other...it's beyond ridiculous now but that must have been the shit back then.

[CosmicUndeadElf]

It was

[brotherhoodproductio]

at 00:35 is there two Blasters in the backround?

[YingYangNoob]

Whats the full episode called? pls tell

[AeonMagnus]

Read the video notes. The episode titles can all be found there.

[EvilKevyn]

What exactly are X-ray lasers?

[barnabus1978]

So thats what 2006 will look like....

[theredvsbluefan]

lol

[leonel1982]

The amazing future of 3 years in the paaaaast!

[bnkrmike29]

more like Barney vs Metroplex

[nofuword]

Godzillacon vs Jet Jaguplex!!! <3

[fujisakimari]

its godzilla

[fj60driver]

"In the year 2006..."

hahahaha

[WhyteSpectre]

haha yeah.

[LunaHeartnet]

I lol'd at that two xD

[Quintesson05]

It's true. In the cartoon's scale, both Metroplex and Trypticon are larger than Fortress Maximus and Scorponok. Both cities were often seen dwarfing gestalts (Bruticus, Defensor...). In toy scale, Fortress Maximus was unquestionably larger, but I think his cartoon size was downplayed to being more towards that of a large human structure (such as a industrial complex, or corporate HQ), as opposed to a city (intentionally designed to quarter "normal-sized" Transformers).

[trisevo]

"Now in the year 2006" lolz

[DVKNIGHT004]

LMAO @ 0:30 lol that was epic he friggin threw the trex soooooo far I was like shit thats a 3 pointer for sure

[dkDyno]

I can't believe they said that metroplex is the autobots' last line of defense.

I thought Omega supreme was the one with that title.

[EnigmaHood]

He's not as big!

[LionessKate]

no in G1, Omega Supreme is merely the Autobot's default answer to *anything* or at least he was in the first few seasons.

[agentspinnaker]

due ex machina?

Is it me or does every season past the movie exist as half hour long toy commercial rather than a cartoon? Seems they had a new transformer every week.

[LionessKate]

@agentspinnaker season 1 and 2 weren't much better

[muslumcu70]

kewlllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llll

[23xxSHADOWxx23]

Trypticon got owned when metroplex trew him in the mountians

[Quintesson05]

Not just into... *over* the mountains, across several coastal cities, and into the ocean (after skidding off an oceanside cliff).

Apparently, neither Galvatron, nor the Quintessons considered designing Trypticon to be able to swim.

[damnasians13]

lmao! "metroplex is my kind of duuude" , said by an autobot idk the name of

[AeonMagnus]

Blaster says "Metroplex is my kind of town."
