@SuperDrunkMoose XD. I don't recall, but later on, doesn't he transform into something more? Or is that just in the Galvatron days, or by a later series? (Such as Armada; I don't remember a lot beyond the G1 series, and even that's hazy).
@slyther2 Amen. "Ruined FOREVER" is their motto... and do they even realize that their beloved cartoon was made only so Transformers TOYS could be sold? And that's still what's going on today! All the shows, the movies, the comics... all of it is meaningless because they were (and are) made ONLY to promote the Transformers toys. That's IT.
But that doesn't mean that all these promo tools are bad at all; far from it, actually.
Gotta love the original Transformers theme.... About as catchy as it got in those days.... Hell who am I kidding.... It's genius.... Been humming this tune since 1985.... Hum hum hummmm..... More than meets the eye.... See.... Still doing it....
@dapithapon Both. Takara (Japanese) made a line of robo toys. Hasbro (US) found Takara's toys, named em Transformers and Autobots/Decepticons (Takara bots were just toys no sides), created a plot/character bios, made the cartoon/etc.
When creating sides Hasbro decided the Autobots would be cars and trucks cuz kids rode in such vehicles. Decepticons would be planes and such cuz kids typically DON'T ride those. Megatron was the big bad cuz he was a gun, Hasbro found that super evil.
I came after these days, I grew up with Pokemon and Jap cartoons. When I have kids I will force them to watch Transformers and cartoons with Action. Not the shows of today that makes kids lame
actually the deceptions aren't totally evil, they were the ones who'd bear most of the military casualties when the transformers as a whole race wanted their freedom from the Quintessons their creators........ so in reality they are actually more of freedom fighters than autobots. :P *mind palm here
@HETAK100 If I were to venture a guess, I'd imagine they're just now replying because they stumbled upon the video on the day they decided to leave their reply.
@scagish same thing to you stupid read what's under my high rated comment dumbass that should explain it to you since you cant' really read go back to highschool aand think twice about trying to be smart asshole
@NearTheReviewer Uh yea back then this was considerd violent and parents didn' want their kids goin out getting a gun and shooting people. sad but true
This, Beast Wars, Transformers Animated and the first live action movies are the only parts of the franchise that did the Transformers series justice. EVerything else SUCKED.
Actually, the Transformers we know are an American creation. The Japanese did create the actual toy line of the transforming robots, but they did not give them names or story lines. Executives from Hasbro saw the toys and decided to name each robot and created the two feuding factions. If you want to see more about this, see Wikipedia or, if possible, the special features about this on the Transformers 2 Disk DVD/Blu-Ray.
Technically, it would be both. Sure Japan animated it and there were Japanese language versions of the various animated series, however, it is largely an American piece.
This is what makes Transformers memorable. Some later inferior series tried to copy this theme, and all failed to capture the amazing feel this and the 2nd season's Opening do.
I've been wondering why the lights on Wheeljack's head are blue in some episodes & in others they are yellowish orange. Could someone please explain that to me?
the new movie was bad, it had no character development, all together the autobots had 15 lines of dialogue, and the fallen is suppose to be the supreme deceptacon that the autobots and the primes have been fighting for centuries and optimus just punches him in the face and he's dead............wow
don't forget the giant red decepticon's...er... wrecking balls. I heard adults, honest-to-god parents laugh when what's-his-face tells the guy on the walkie-talkie " I'm directly underneath the enemy's scrotum."(probably didn't spell that correctly but doesn't have the will to spellcheck)
what age was the CG guy... 13?
And after Optimus defeats the Fallen(don't know name) he doesn't finish off Megatron...why?
@SuperDrunkMoose He stopes doing that cause of tv rules.Him turning into a gun was a hasbro cross promotion for a nerf gun(nerf is a hasbro brand)
