    When you hold predaking you just feel powerful. it's so cool how much combiners evolved from devastator to predaking.

    Springer was always my favorite. He was a triple changer. He was green. He had a sword! He had the best line in the movie, "I've got better things to do tonight than die."

    Sometimes wonder if Galvatron lost it cause he finally took out his rival but didn't know what he'd do after the fact and he only really got what that meant by thinking about it while he was stuck in that plasma crater but it was too much for him

    These episodes just keep getting better. I remember getting Ultra Magnus as a kid and pretending his white cab/bot mode was just Prime's rebuilt form after death. I guess its how I tried to deal with what happened in the movie. Nowdays I have a huge appreciation for the big guy, base bot or combined mode!

  • @goldenage
    @goldenage Před 4 lety +2

    Nice recap of 86' - a real transitional year! I gather that the larger scale and brighter colors were an attempt to make the toyline more durable and kid friendly. Most of the Diaclone, Microman, and Takatoku toys had already been used, so these are really some of our first original "Transformers".

    Pipes was my first ever transformer, sadly I wasn’t alive when it came out but I use to go tag slating with my dad all the time and I would find old 80s toys all the time for cheap like 5-25 cents sometimes a dollar. Transformers were my favorite after pipes I got hooked and that’s all I looked for well that and star wars stuff. Broadside was one of my favorites and g1 Optimus. The triple changers were my favorites I was giving a whole bunch of toys by a guy I got over 40 transformers and 30 plus other robots, as a 7 year old it was the best day of my life. Still have all of them and I good shape as my dad was a collector of antiques so I wanted to be like him so I collected “old” toys I remember buying sealed masters of the universe toys and GI joes for 25 cent at a flea market every week I’d get 2 for a summer. Just got back in to collecting toys been going through my collection. Insane the price I have a sealed Rodimus, unicorn and the Optimus 2nd release unbelievable how much they go for now.

It was such a fun year and I think Transformers lead that year in popularity for children and anybody else who liked Transformers. Thumbs up for your video, it's so totally awesome.

    I wish some of the 86 characters could get a lot more recognition. Kup, Galvatron, Blurr, Springer, and yes, even Hot Rod are some of the best characters in the g1 Transformers line, and just as good as the 84 and 85 bots, even though I personally prefer the 84 for sentimental reasons. Not to mention all the other characters that appeared, they should all get a little more recognition with the modern fanbase. And Wheelie, which I know is a bit more recognized, I feel should get a little more love. I've always liked his fun character.

    It's interesting you call the city Transformers "the big boys." From my perspective, the original "big boy" was Omega Supreme. My opinion is that any Transformer who's roughly Omega's size or bigger is considered a big boy. That would also include the greatest combiner of all time "Predaking."

    I have been looking forward to this video all week, and it was even more fun than I expected! 😊 Loved the humor in it, especially the “just like back in Korea” part lol. I was a huge fan of Galvatron’s madness in the cartoon, especially the episode where the other Decepticons brought him to the asylum😂. I unfortunately was never able to get him myself, as he sold out in my local toystore just when I had saved up enough money to buy him. Oh well, that’s the way these things go sometimes. Looking forwards to next week already: keep up the great work! 😀
