My favorite origin story is and probably always will be the transformers Prime origin story

Its g1 cant blame it.

Yeah, I got them and I like smokescreen because he’s one cool dude he inspired me to do footwork

I got his newest action figure last night

One thing that really bothers me, besides the trend of Bumblebee losing his voice, is that the Transformers learned the human language through the internet, which doesn't make sense if we consider that Megatron, who was frozen for a long time, knows how to speak the human language

Honestly torn both ways , don't see the big deal about 'toy guns' even here in gun control Australia you can go into any toy store and nerf guns pretty much have their own section and help carry the store/toy aisle . But the OG Megatron was pretty bad you'd get laughed out of town if you released it now . My favorite Megatron right now is a Dragon in Transmetal II Megatron

He was always one of my favorite Deceptions. Wish he had a larger role in the animated Transformers ‘84 show.

To me Optimus was Hulk Hogan an Rodimus was The Ultimate Warrior!!

The junkions are one of my favorite additions to the series in season three, for I too speak almost exclusively in tv quotes.

Clearly I'm not alone but Dinobot is the greatest Transformers character of all time. His character arc was more developed than any other and its a shame they didn't finish it

Ugh. Look, im not saying change is always inherently bad, i mean Megs originas goong from machine built to destroy to social revolutionary uplifting the oppressed was a change in and of itself...but Transformers Ones tone just doesnt set well with either iteration of the character. I feel like its being played fir comedy on the same level as like a Guardians of the Galaxy type genre and that just doesnt befit the framchise IMO.v

I love the G1 version the best but I absolutely have a soft spot for the animated version too

Not bad for a prime figure

My blitzwing keep in mind I made this version of him when I was like 13 and only scene a few seconds of him: blitzwing was also appeared in the alligned continuity, though he wasn’t a Decepticon, he was a disaster bot, one of 5 manmade transformers who could cause smaller versions of national disasters. He was originally a non sentient drone designed to take out the rescue bots, but he and the other disaster bots were granted sparks via the sparksayer, this blitzswing was a notorious traitor, quick to take out his leader to take command for himself, and was insanly violent prioritizing the destruction of his rival hotshot over anything else, the only reason he remained on the team was because his leader was making an combiner and needed blitzswing to be part of it. He also has a video screen for a face and there was a running gag of his face screen being cracked only to reveal he was wearing a screen protector and replacing it on site

What is your favorite blitzswing

Earthspark failed as the toyline was pretty low quality & the clumsy inclusion of pro-nouns in the show got them bad press. Shame as the show is great but I think a more Transformers-centric experience would be desirable (less humans; more Transformers). Very hard to hit a demographic now for toys unless there's some social media incentive linked for kids, considering kids are none too interested in the toylines. Maybe something more aimed at collectors & adults is the way to go?

I simp for him.

No one dare talk about Meg’s gun mode, the sickest toy ever!!! The dam thing looked real!!…..if my friend could transform into a gun more powerful than mine dam right i would use him!!!

Very disappointed with the direction Hasbro is moving if canceling Core Class. IMO, they should have continued where they've had most success with developing the G1 charachters from season 1. Seekers, especially Starscream before re-releasing his figure towards the end of 2023 he was going on the secondary market for upto $40. If they would have done next the Insecticons, Constructicons, Lambo/Datsun Bros it would have garnished Hasbro with positive returns.

Awesome Discussion Rodimus! This is something I'm gonna need to study more myself before I ever give my own prediction.

WHAM BANG WARPATHS ON THE ROLL HA HA HA!!!! I salute you RodimusPrimal for yet another outstanding retrospective video!!!!🫡🫡🫡🫡

If core class is done with, then Hasbro is making a mistake. If they had released all of G1, it would sell better than any other line that came after. I have to disagree with you, the new stuff is not grabbing the newer generation of ppl as well as it was intended. It is in fact the original TF's that are captivating the newer generation of fans. When anything G1 is put on the store shelves in comparison to all the Generation TF lines that came after, G1 still sells out quicker than anything else! Now we all know in regard to toy production, G1 line is produced in the factories less than any of the newer lines. The fact remains, G1 still sells better than anything else out there! I have no doubt if the production of G1 was increased significantly, it would still sell out better than anything else!

Maybe they're looking at Chris Hemsworth as duke or one of the Joe's instead of the voice of Optimus Prime

Still haven't been able to get a hold of a frenzy

I basically purchased SS86 Perceptor for 10 bucks in a 2 pack from Walmart. So if new tapes are released with Perceptor, then I have no problem purchasing him again.

The cassettes are the only ones I agree with Encore class otherwise it was a useless run

We need some Animated universe Decepticons for future Legacy lines. I'm hoping Blitzwing (done right) is one of the first!!

for Optimus he must have a faceplate 100% of the time non removable!

Just don't mention me of Him and Ironhide's blasted figures...

If I had a dollar every time I heard somebody was taken offline by a underbased power starscream, I'd be rich.

I think I’m that one twat that actually kind of prefers the white Optimus element of Ultra Magnus (G1 toy cab, Classics, and Kingdom are just like hella great imo). I like the full form, but I think exploring the existence of his true form in story media and why he had an outer, super robot form would be hella interesting. Could be a bit like Pyro from IDW, or maybe something to explore with the body type link between Prime and Magnus as brothers or something similar to Animated or RID01.

if you never saw the movie after season 2 and before season 3 but only saw the commercials on tv that summer you would think that Ultra Magnus was the new Leader or second in command of the autobots

Would we call it G1 if it wasn't for G2 coming out

Why wheeljack was alive in Transformers victory? Like no gather information was Leak.

Gi Joe sucks!!!!

Core class needs to be revitalized.

Rumble is red frenzy is blue

Thunderwing is way overdue for a new toy.

I’ve said this so many times but I just want Transformers One to bring in new fans and those who missed out on the cartoons and only watched the movies will check out Animated, Prime and G1 etc. I just want what the movie wants to execute be executed well!

I cherry-pick from random lines, so not a big deal. I need feedback though - be honest, has anyone gotten any of the 3rd party manufactured “Deformers” (knock off Transformers ofc lol) off of Alibaba 👀. If so, how were they quality wise?!

He's always been one of my favs.

HELL NO!

As much as the fandom loves Peter Cullen…. He’s not live forever…. He not gunna voice Prime forever, he’s gunna have to be permanently replaced eventually, Chris Hemsworth might be the Optimus for the next 40 years of the franchise.

Since IDWs Megatron Origins and the aligned continuity are my preference I hope the movie does not stray too far from those brutal origins.

Man, I hope Core Class isn't dead (it probably is) because I was hoping to get the coneheads, lambros, and rest of the cassettes, like Slugfest and Overkill, mainly Ramhorn. I don't want to have to buy a pack like ANOTHER soundwave with one of those, etc. It's cheap tricks by Hasbro. Earthspark is the proof you need better writing to sell toys. I don't want another show to replace it, they need to wait 10 years and then come out with a brand new Cast, factions, etc. TF One... I never minded the Gladiator origin of Megatron, but I do prefer the G1 version where he's just Built and wants to conquer at some point. Being bunk mates in a mining operation, kinda different, might be good. We'll see. My wife is more curious about the movie than me. Thanks for sharing.

I'll say I do feel pretty bad for the Core Class line. I've been enjoying them a lot and was looking forward to collecting all 6 Core Class Dinobots and complete the Volcanicus Combiner, and now I'm getting a little worried that I won't now unless I shop on Ebay. At least I already have Sludge and Slug right now, but even so, I do find the Core Class size a lot of fun. Now on the other hand, I'm actually quite curious about Derek Connolly working on Transformers! However, if he doesn't attempt to at least include a reference to Jurassic and Pokémon, then I'm going to be a little disappointed! LOL

Rodimus, I know this is really random, especially on a Transformers video, but I just wanna ask, cuz I know that you like Supes. Have you checked out My Adventures with Superman and do you like it? I really like it alot! Its a really good show with awesome characters. I like both seasons so far. I love the Clark/Lois/Jimmy trio. The story/plot and how everythings playing out in general is really good, interesting, and well-done. The villains/antagonists are really interesting and cool.

I honestly don't really care if Megatron/D16's origin is changed or whatever, as long as its overall, generally a good origin that makes alot of sense and also pays plenty of respect to other origins, such as G1 and TFP, which is the better of the 2. I hope D-16's origin is similar and takes some ideas/inspiration from his TFP origin, but not copy it verbatim and still is really quite unique and different. Also, I am really, REALLY hyped for TF: One! It looks so unbelievably fun, good, has alot of potential, and awesome! It has potential to be the BEST TF movie alongside TTFTM, TFP: PR, BB, and ROTB! And, it looks so beautiful! Also, Core Class should NOT end! Its awesome! Despite not having any atm, I do want some! Core Class is really good, theres absolutely nothing wrong with it whatsoever. Its a great little price/size class for fun little versions of our favorite characters along with characters that actually are small and should be in that size. All they have to do is balance out _who_ to do, _when_ to do them, _how_ to do them, etc. Which, I think, they've been doing quite well recently. I'd love some Core Class Spychangers! Bring on Hot Shot, Mirage, R.E.V., Ironhide, etc! Also, some Core Datsun boys would go so hard! Core Jazz, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, (G1) Mirage, and Hound, too! And other characters would be cool, too! Edit: Also, PLEASE give us a Core Class full-suit Sari Sumdac!!

This is a cool channel. This video especially since its one of my fav Transformers. I have the original purple and brown version from way back and also the 2022 Legacy version I got recently. But as Im listening to the video you talked about MASK, and Transformers Devastation. I used to love that intro to Mask. And I have Transformers Devastation and didnt play it up thru where Blitzwing appeared. At least I cant remember. But very details video going thru all the phases of Blitz.

I am a G1 Prowl fan. I’m pretty sure my 12 year old self cried in that movie theatre when he got shot!
