Toonami - Advanced Robotics (1080p HD)

[EVA01X]

My favorite is that it's Peter Cullen of all people narrating this.

[AniSolidGantz]

Thank you metroidman7 and thank you SlimD716V2.

[mgmike576]

God Toonami was so damn awesome.

[LovecraftianToenail]

What else is there left to say?

Again, I pay tribute to one of the ballsiest children's programming blocks ever forged in the fires of Mount Awesome.

[nrvrine427]

@LovecraftianToenail Fuck yeah! Toonami made my childhood awesome.

[sk8terboyash]

Krillin got popped hard lol

[PLETROMEX]

whats the name of this theme?

[SlimD716V2]

@PLETROMEX In the description.

[darkcosmos88]

music is epic scary.

[nihilumphobic]

what dragonball z episode or movie did they use in this collab?

[SlimD716V2]

@nihilumphobic Every DBZ clip used in this is from Movie 2 "The World's Strongest" except for the clip at 0:35. That's the scene where Frieza's men are rebuilding him before he goes to Earth.

[TheDrewCraft]

I remember this on toonami like 5 years ago lol awesome

[zoomkobe24]

@TheDrewCraft this promo came out in 2001

[GraandMasterWalrusz]

HA!!! My friend saids this earth will end with a Zomibe Apopcolipse, I told him its gonna be robots, now ive got the proof! I've even got optimus prime to back up, lol

[poopsdf]

Shit scared me as a kid lol

[comotose762]

Still sends shivers down my spine. 

[pmilzle]

Optimus Prime yeah boy!

[folgerty]

@rooksian Peter cullen

[Thornberry4president]

for a show that was 7 years and up. It's pretty dark.

[GhostPlanetFilms]

@rooksian And he was the first actor to voice K.A.R.R. from "Knight Rider."

[Thornberry4president]

where can i get the instrumental version of this?

[Chupacabrathe2nd]

@Thornberry4president It's from an album called deep space bass.

[jerzy862]

"Technological strength will just become a threat to the Earth"

It already is a threat.

[GalaxyMagician]

Big O!!! OMG I just had a Botgasm! xD

[fullauto67]

....anything Big O!

[OmegaBlack2609]

Man, Peter Cullen and Don LaFontine (correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he was the original movie trailer narrator for the longest time) have the best voices ever!!

[Risibility17]

Suddenly, that new Android phone looks EXTREMELY menacing....

[edgarmendieta91]

Man i got a nostalgic boner from watching this. Good times!

[DigimonDarkMaster700]

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens in real life in the near future.

[David315842]

Op;timus Prime would side with the robots! :D

[TheRodT]

@David315842 hello he is a robot

[David315842]

@TheRodT That sentence was written as a joke! I meant that he would side with the robots, because obviously he is one.

[David315842]

@David315842 Maybe I could have said 'he would have sided with the robots' but then the humour would be lost, it would obviously be a lot better heard, rather then read. You can't hear people's tones of voices in text unfortunately.

[Syzygy236]

1080p......its nice to finally meet you again <3

[TheTigerwolf55]

This was one of my favorite Toonami promos, thank you for uploading this!

[JesterzPlauge]

DIE!!!

[rilgin]

loved this promo

[nkedgun1011]

GOD DAMN WATCHING THESE HURTS SOOO MUCH

[ruzzzler]

@nkedgun1011 agreed.

[acesqmonky]

So fucking epic I'm sorry I'm on the robots side

[TheRodT]

@rooksian no

[SlimD716V2]

@TheRodT Actually yes, that is none other than Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) speaking.

[NinjaRodent]

The nostalgia... it hurts

[antgto]

Fuck I miss Toonami!!!

[Aurongel]

Great promo, killer quality!

[HitandRyan]

I remember this, it's been nearly a decade. Still, now it reminds me of both the Geth and the Reapers from Mass Effect. Geth for the "machine uprising" and Reapers for the whole unstoppable force thing.

That is, until Commander Shepard shows up.

[MikeD3691]

it seems each one of these vidoes at a root show that had the most clips

like in the one about dreams mostlys shows outlaw star

[MikeD3691]

its kinda ironic that a man who once played a robot provided the narration

[TheCodemasterc]

You dont get narration like that anymore. I could listen to that all night long.

[MrBeardedWisdom]

I had chills

[Haseo234]

I remember seeing this as a kid, and almost got scared since I thought this was really happening. Thanks for posting and remastering :D



[MRDOWNLOADS]

This promo is one of my favorites.

[margie1029]

[sharkboiidlopez22]

@rooksian Peter Cullen

[HarmfulDesign]

@rooksian His name is Peter Cullen. And he is awesome. =]

[technicallyabsurd]

1:49 Can we add that to the "KRILLIN OWNED" count?

[BinaryFlareRC]

@technicallyabsurd I was JUST going to post this exact same comment. XD

[DeusLightning]

100% likes. Probably because Toonami was and is the s***...

"Built by Man, Serve No One."

0_0

Gave me chills.

[ChaosXUnleashed]

:'( R.I.P Toonami.

[XShadowX9313]

*sighs*

I miss the good Ol days of toonami! 

[Ginga]

"Ignition" was the perfect track for this music video.

[rpgking7]

Anyone know what is the Peter Cullen narration from?

[ConkadeWonko]

@rpgking7 It was made for this promo. He generally narrated all of the Toonami promos in the late 90's into the early 00's.

[ThePopcorncrazee]

I'm really happy that Big O is playing on adult swim on saturdays! I get to watch my favorit anime and get to hear steven blum's voice! :D

[abyssalspecter93]

What's the DBZ clip from? I don't remember that episode lol.

[SlimD716V2]

@abyssalspecter93 Which one? There's one where they're rebuilding Frieza before he makes his way to Earth for revenge as Mecha-Frieza and the other clips with Dr. Wheelo in them are from Movie 2 "World's Strongest".

[abyssalspecter93]

@SlimD716V2 Oh, it's the second one. Thanks :D

[SlimD716V2]

@abyssalspecter93 No problem.

[Hyde0089]

@abyssalspecter93 thats the flashback of freez becoming mecha freeza, and he came to earth and trunks kills him

[BlueRogue6]

Toonami, hosted by TOM along with Optimus Prime before his arrival on the big screen.

[lylatfox4]

@BlueRogue6

the voice of optimus prime has always been around and is the original voice, they just made sure to get him for the transformers movie to appease the fans

[ThunderLizardsRule]

0:38 "Technological strength will just become a threat to the Earth!"

I wonder if that's what some worried protesters said when the Skynet funding billing has passed in Terminator 2?

[del345]

Whoohoo I remember the good days of Toonami when I would hear the voice of Peter Cullen, Mark Hamill, and Steven Blum every time I watched Toonami. Oh man the nostalgia is killing me! LOL

[RmDMaino92]

SlimD716V2, you're a fuckin boss. Thnx for all the uploads man!

[Blakefe]

lord i miss you toonami

[pokeman158]

Optimus Prime Preaching his Revelations!

[FranBunnyFFXII]

DUDE........ how did you get it in such high quaility?

[SlimD716V2]

@FranBunnyFFXII metroidman7 took all the clips used in this Promo from DVDs and placed them over the original video.

[GhostPlanetFilms]

Do any o' you gentlemen know where I could find this *OLD* Toonami online game? It talks about TOM's origins, shows other robots (ally Ruby, enemy Lars), and kinda ended in a cliffhanger.

[JBC16]

I feel so ashamed because I never paid any mind to who was narrating this commercial as a kid...too dope and much respect!!!

[RayDandy]

hahaha, great intro by Norman :D

[ragekage209]

yeah i came, what of it?

[ADifferenterCrashD]

As a child I was carefree b/c when I viewed this promo it not only served as entertainment but it also illustrated a foretold warning of advance human minds creating advancer robotic beings that could ultimately bring destruction to its human kind creators just one of the reasons Toonami instilled me with no worries b/c they let me know that evil lurked & to keep my head on a swivel for this reckoning in a sense Toonami had my back so dont be astonished when this bull-ish happen you were advised

[shizlnit]

BIG MOTHER FUCKIN O

[DaBoyWonda17]

This is the rise of the machines! Man where is Arnold Schwarzenegger when you need him!

[MyTailFilms]

@DaBoyWonda17 Impregnating House Maids.

[XBolESP]

New World Order? The fall of mankind bringing forth a New Age? They've even infiltrated our anime ;)

[domineus]

*cries* my god that is so high quality and the original version no doubt PERFECT

[shyguy198711]

this is awesome i don't know how ya got such good quality on these old commercials but its kewl

[DasOberJagan]

Is that Peter Cullen?

[SlimD716V2]

DasOberJagan Yep that's him, the voice of the great Optimus Prime.

[MultiRekrap]

@SlimD716V2...He, Mark Hamill and the guy who talks as Spike from Cowboy Bebop are without a doubt the greatest voice actors of possibly all time!

[hemanshera777]

@SlimD716V2 did you know that he was also involved with Filmation's Ghostbusters?

and the Animated Series of Dungeons And Dragons?

[loumast]

toonami will never die
