Jobby, if you just look at my comment from this video 4 hours ago...
Review transformers beast machines and kiss players plz!
Dude wow GJ i thought you would be mad about the kibbles and the backpacks for being toy accurate and Bumblebee's model following the #backlivesmatter while the masterpiece toy was bad.
Megaton Simp
Starscream simp
Alright Hasbro. First you had my interest, now you have my attention.
JOHNNYFLASH yes
JOHNNYFLASH yes
JOHNNYFLASH yes
Do a Q&A with waspinator
JOHNNYFLASH yes
Jobby at the end: You want me to continue talking about shows...
Me: YEEEESSSSS!
IS THAT A MOTHERFRICKING MEGATRON REFERENCE??!!
@@danklockdown9757 yeeessss
He should review beast machines. That show is dog shit
@@Spuub Megatron being the ruler of cybertron is a great concept tho. Not even G1 megatron could ever do it.
But beast machines is shit. And whoever likes it is stupid.
It pisses me off that with every iteration of Cybertron, we never see how the war began, we always see the aftermath or the final hours of the Cybertronian Wars. Transformers really needs to show what happened before the war, instead of just mentioning it in either snippets or through an expository flashback.
I would love that
Maybe they could do a prequel season/movie-
The Star Wars prequels did it
What about IDW comics? At least they gave us comic issues about the beginning of the war with stories such as Megatron's origin serie
@@granmastersword I feel that Megatron origin is a bit sad for what he was forced to live before he become a gladiator
The only thing that's funny about the show was Megatron's lips.
Bruh Megatron got more plastic in his lips than all the Kardashians combined.
Bucket head James Charles
@@makyrgamyng9424 You mean all the Transformers toys combined
@@Redasfitz oh God can't unsee
>Back in his younger days Megatron was...quite a looker

I get it
Bruh for real WFC Megatron said 🟥👄🟥
Best scene was when megatron first appeared, that shit had some PRESENCE
100%
My knowledge of real political and economic issues:
My knowledge of political and economic issues in transformers: Lemme tell you somethin!
Not much of a difference
Same
Me knowing both: You have no power here
they should call this show "this war" because they like say that every minute my god
Sentoriika we, I, will, not, The Chronicles
THIS
Right? I personally didn't care for it. It tried too hard to be mature, and I feel like we've seen this plot before and done way better. The voice actors were very meh as well. The only voice I really liked was Megatron, but damn every other sentence he spoke had the words this war or the war. Like fuck! On a positive note the dialogue was a million times better than any transformer dialogue in the Last Knight...
Gotta love "Tell, don't show" the series
"Megatron, we were good friends."
"Yes, ultra magnus, you, me, and Optimus were all good friends, but are not anymore."
"I remember when we rose up with Alpha Trion"
"So do I, that was the bloodiest battle in all of cybertron"
"But then you killed him, and now you, me, and Optimus are not friends"
"This is true, we are not friends"
Yeah, seems a missed opportunity not to have at least one flashback of the war/revolution they were talking about. Maybe they want to keep their powder dry for future seasons but it would have been so cool seeing Prime and Megatron fighting on the same side (and who would they have been fighting? Quintessons? 🤔)
Those paused dialogue does seems awkward while reading, I don't know how the voice actor's would have felt delivering those
I wish they at least did flashbacks like in TF Prime, not animated, just cool artworks :T
Tell dont show but also dont tell either. No one needs to know about the background of any of these characters and who the keu players are just have them show up. Who needs compelling motivation when you can grab a bunch of plot threads from previous shows and throw them in a blender
@@mudawott Lol, yea these people just show up and it's like "Well the nerds will know who these people are, let's just get to the fights".
Like I remember getting whiplash on the later episode where Bee infiltrates soundblast's hideout and Arcee is just there, out of the blue, we've never seen her before now, and suddenly she's important.
idk when he’s actually gonna buy the Siege and Earthrise figures, they’re basically “mini masterpieces”

To be fair, a dice in DnD tends to have more than 12 sides(I don't know for certain cuz I never played DnD) so it kind of counts.
@@solbadguy9025 what are you talkin about lol
Didn't expect jobby to like this show, and I agree that megatron was the best character. Nice review btw, you should do more.
Then again, I'd like how they implement Optimus. Being dumb and ignorant is a way to say that he just gained the wisdom of the Matrix, and adapting will take some time. Remember what Optimus said, or similarly said? "This war had started when I refused to take the Treaty." And we all know that happened at the first episode.
@@SLESFMOfficial UMMM ACTUALLYYYYY (okno), Alpha Trion's Protocols have the wisdom, the Matrix have the power (and the touch(?)
I liked more Jetfire, but Impactor was the best character. Megatron was pretty cool tho
@@isaandreso215 No, it's the other way around, and both Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime don't have more power over the other. The Alpha Trion Protocols, introduced by Bumblebee's Interaction, possess what is the data of what the original Alpha Trion carries, in which lead to giving powers to interact with Cybertron itself, exampled by Ultra Magnus. Optimus Prime, however, and always had been, carries the Matrix of Leadership which contains the Wisdom of the Primes. Alpha Trion originally kept the Matrix until Orion and Dion, along with Ariel, took a fatal blow from Megatron himself. Then, was reformatted to Optimus Prime, Elita-1, and Ultra Magnus. But, Optimus' Matrix he did not find, it was the Matrix who finds him. And the Alpha Trion Protocols? Did the same to Ultra Magnus.
@@isaandreso215 And the Touch doesn't do anything to what we're talking about.
My biggest critique overall: I wish it'd started earlier. I would've liked to see it from the very start, all the way at the beginning. The tail-end of the Golden Ages maybe- an exploration, first hand, into what lives Megatronus and Orion Pax led before becoming Megatron and Optimus Prime. I would've liked to see who the Autobots and Decepticons truly were before they put on those sigils, rather than those pasts simply being alluded to.
Now, please excuse me while I go kiss Megatron's thicc-ass lips.
I agree imagine if this was the second season and the first season was the decepticon revolution
I wish it were a tad more like the comics and explained things better. For one, Impactor felt off as a Decepticon instead of a Wrecker like he's known for being and Ratchet being a known medic and not having essentially the backstory of Ironfist which didn't feel at all like the character. Bumblebee and Ratchet's lack of relationship with Optimus also played a part in adding unnecessary tension as well that honestly made every scene unbelievable to actually watch.
All in all, this show was horrible for long time fans of both comics and original lore, yet manages to be not as bad for someone who doesn't follow too much lore and/or someone new to the series.
@@fgl8044 I would of liked a idw retailing of the back story leading up to the war and showing the corruption and abuse of the workers miners ect
I feel like that would be better as a prequel series
Imo the best way to make an "imperfect" Optimus is by sticking to his G1 cartoon characterization as faithfully as possible (cheeky, a bit of a 'tude, gentle, kind and lovable ) but add an subtle sprinkle of self-resentment, anger and grief, in the classic trope of "crying behind a smile" sense.
@Pure_Steve _1153
Animated had a whole different breed of Optimus. He was clearly younger, inexperienced, and struggling to figure out his purpose as he goes along.
I'm thinking more of the standard, seasoned, wise warrior Optimus but with his own inner demons to suppress (could be his personal hatred towards Megatron, self-loathing for all the comrades that was lost under his command, etc.)
It opens up a possibility for a complex story arc where he temporarily loses his worthiness for the Matrix for giving in to said "demons"
And I get that WFC is trying to push that desperation angle on the Autobot's side, but as Jobby very eloquently put it: Optimus just came off as a dumbass there.
@Pure_Steve _1153 Absolutely spot on. Optimus is very in the young, because he just got the matrix, which would take some time to adapt the wisdom of the Primes, and that he needed more experience on becoming a leader.
@@SLESFMOfficial except in WFC the matrix does _not_ grant him the "wisdom" aspect, only the "power" aspect as explained by Alpha Trion. the "wisdom" comes packaged in the A3 protocol, which ended up in smoke.
@@ghanighetok Yes, Optimus was given power, but it was because of both the original 13's power and wisdom especially to define such a truly needed leader. Ultra Magnus, however, gains the wisdom and the power of what Alpha Trion had before he sent his powers directly to his failsafe protocols. That's what Ultra Magnus used to open a door in later episodes.
Your comment makes me think of a mix between a tweaked G1 Prime mixed with Prime from TFP. Honestly I would love to see something like that, a lovable leader in one, but a respected GOD down in the fights
"Want me to talk about any more shows?"
If a Request then Highly requesting Transformers Prime.
Love your videos and keep up the awesomeness!
Personally I would like to hear Jobby's futher take on Animated.
Same.
I personally really like TF Prime, and would love to hear Jobby talk about it.
@@HORRIOR1 then let's request both.
Jobby mention in one of his streams
That he reached to the part of the omega keys or the relics because jobby said "I only reached the part when the where collecting these things"
I 100% agree
Optimus had some of the most cringyiest lines in the show . Especially that line about we are not decepticons .He sounded like that kid on c.o.d that is yelling but not really yelling because his parents might hear him.
I could imagine someone shaking their jaw while saying DECEPTICONSSSSAA
He always seemed in the verge of tears lol. His performance or direction were odd to say the least
I liked the voice actor! The direction of the lines was bad. Still not as good as Peter
Im personally okay with optimus making questionable decisions considering he wasn't a fighter or leader before the war. Who knows maybe he will have a character ark on becoming a better leader (hopefully)
I actually haven’t seen it yet but I don’t mind spoilers. How does this version of young Optimus compare to Optimus Prime from Transformers Animated and amnesiac Optimus from Transformers Prime?
Same here, I don't think he's a dumbass or a bad character
@@JohnSmith-lt1ck They are different in a lot of ways, but believe me, he's an interesting and good character
that COULD have worked had he shown any kind of questioning of his actions the whole time till the VERY end. He was blindly confident and told everyone to just trust him blindly. Which was really moronic.
George D yeah but he did question himself once but it should have been there more often but honestly it’s not as bad as bumblebee joining the autobots due to the alpha tron protocalls just to have it taken away the next episode but optimus wasn’t the best but I can at least see where his character arc is going
Imagine if Jobby actually has siege figures, but he isn’t showing them
i feel like thats def true
DU
I mean... maybe? He has loads of Transformers toys that he doesn't show us (in fAILBOX he shows usan Alternators and Darth Vader Transformers but they were his childhood toys so i don't really know).
Possible
@@danisbegovic9409 Thats what I was thinking. Then again, there's a possibility that he just chose to show off the figures he liked the most, but he hasn't really shown much interest in mainline TF stuff.
I liked TFA and prime more because we had a small but more intimate cast rather than that s massive rotating cast like J.L.U
JLU had whole arcs dedicated to a few characters, they really loved pairing up Supergirl and Green Arrow.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 that is true, but I felt that the arcs were kind rushed to make up for the fact that the next episode may not have that character
The only thing that I can’t take my mind off from this show is that big chunky metal robots have flexible waists instead of a swivel.
That was distracting af. Optimus' torso bends like he's made out of rubber and don't get me started on Arcee's ridiculously exaggerated waist movement. Fuck this show for making me feel weird about a robot
@@alexsilva28 How do you explain that last sentence to god on judgement day.
They should have recruited you for one of the voice actors.
I would hope they will some day.
there’s always next season
Starscream: "PUT IT IN MY ASS!"
Maybe he might get lucky in Kingdom and be waspinator
@@hackusprime I think he could make a good autobot too, I'm just not sure who.
Why the hell does this feel more normal than all of his current reviews
Because Transformers is his culture.
@@SenketsuFi fax
Its less normal than his normal reviews
Jobby: *"TrAnSfOrMeRs!"*
Me: *"Megatron's lips..."*
Transformers fans complaining about it being too dark? Um, this whole franchise is the idea of a civil WAR.
You don't see DC fans whining about Apokolips War lol
LJK401 well..
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 *Ahem* Thanos got 'off with his head' type ordeal and this is too dark? Go watch TFP.
@@SLESFMOfficial Apokolips War was the darkest iteration of any big franchise I've ever seen.
it's mostly the new """"""""fans""""""""" who are exclusively into botbots and neo-IDW comics that are complaining
I think Prime’s best moments were when he loses composure and it actually felt like that he had the same kind of anger problems as Megs with the only difference being that Optimus is hiding it.
Is no one going to talk about Soundwave's voice? He sounded like a microwave talking through a desk fan. I'm glad he didn't talk about how ultra magnus you know......did the stupid thing and won stupid prizes.
The voice editor on him and Omega Supreme made it hard to understand them, funny how Soundblaster sounded better.
He’s also voiced by the same guy who did the Marrauder from DOOM Eternal and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel from what I know
Bruh I actually really dislike how soundwave sounds. No disrespect to the voiceactor but whoever does the soundmixing and designing did not do him justice
Steel Gh0st why!?
Aman - In an Eggshell It just doesn’t sound as cool as G1 Soundwave, and G1 Soundwave is like 35 years old already. The only time I felt his voice sounded ok was in one episode where the filter wasn’t as pronounced.

TV-Y7: Fantasy Violence
"Okay, well, I guess I can't expect any mature themes from--"
Wheeljack: "Bumblebee is a pain in the ass."
"Ah."
And now it's re-rated tv-14
Not even Wheeljack from Prime would say such a thing
And don’t forget all of the mutilated autobots on spikes in the background. If they were human, it’d be rated R
Jobby the reason Optimus acts sort of dumb and reckless is because hes supposed to be betrayed as a young bot whose still learning. He's not supposed to be the big strong leader we all know. He's sort of in an Orion Pax phase in this show.
Megatron: Take my deal Prime
Prime: I'll never take your deal
Me: What's the deal?
Ultra Magnus: You should take the deal
Prime: The deal is dangerous
Me: WHAT'S THE DEAL?!
Megatron: They didn't take the deal
ME: WHAT DEAL!!!!!!
Also, Soundwave sucked in this which sucks cus it's goddamn Soundwave
What also sucked was Elita always questioned all of Primes choices EVERY EPISODE, it was sorta like a theme in the middle of every episode
@Tinyrocket What's the treaty about? Does it allow Autobots to live in an enclosed space? Does it force them wear the Decepticon logo? Does it give Megatron complete control of all Cybertron? The show never tells us. It simply shows Optimus being against it (as are his fellow Autobots), while Ultra Magnus seems to consider it (Meaning it had benefits).
The main point being that there's a war and we're given hints about what started it but we don't know the full extent of going on, which is normally fine except this show has decided to go all in on the politics and Megatron's entire character requires us to understand the Decepticon's plight. It makes Optimus OR Ultra Magnus look idiotic (probably both) since they have such opposite reactions to the deal. Basically we're watching a bunch of characters argue about something we have no grasp on, which ends up making things confusing. It's not the show's worst problem, but it's indicative of other writing issues that the show has.
Also have I mentioned that Soundwave isn't all that great? I miss cool Soundwave
@Tinyrocket Ok but if the treaty is a simple surrender for 'equality', then that creates two problems. Firstly, there's no way Ultra Magnus would go off to surrender without there being conditions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have snuck out of his cell, since he clearly wants a compromise rather than surrender. Secondly, if he did surrender under the assumption that the Autobots would be pardoned and made at worst second class citizens, then he'd have to know what Megatron's goal is. Which brings us to Megatron's goal... which is equality but more equality for the Decepticons? I'm only assuming since while a few Decepticons inform us of their beliefs, Megatron never does. Thirdly, Megatron clearly doesn't want equality since he's committing mass genocide and has clear belief that weaker bots should die, so that's not equality.
Jet Storm's betrayal makes tons of sense since unlike every other character, he explains what he wants very clearly and Starscream questions his every action. The problem is that we have no idea what the Autobots are even fighting for since they were apparently in a position of power and no longer are. You even said you only guessing motivations since you also have no idea what the details are since the show is too busy trying to play up how shit the war is that it forgot to explain how it got this way or what characters want besides "Ending the war", "surviving" or "staying out of the war". The only characters that felt explored was Megatron, who, despite never stating his exact beliefs, at least made sense with every major decision and wasn't stupid enough to go searching for a myth (Not gonna gloss over the fact that Optimus basically risked everything on a myth), Jet Storm and Starscream. Tho the latter two were VERY on the nose about what they wanted, which fair play. Every other character either has vague motivations we don't know (basically every Autobot), clear motivations they constantly contradict (The big Decepticons) or are Evil (Every other Decepticon). This would be fine if it was a show like Prime with a lot of time to delve into things and a small enough cast, or if the war itself was the major focus as in the cybertron games where individual motivation makes way for clear good and bad, clearly established sides with simple motivations. But the show is trying to be complex and sometimes complex is worse than simple.
I still need to mention that Soundwave was not done justice
Soundwave felt really underplayed. He was just sorta... there. At least his voice is almost on point, if a bit quiet.
@Tinyrocket Ok, Megatron is not a good guy. He would not have treated them equally, he would treat those he deems worthy equally. Megatron is just as racist as any other Decepticon and is power hungry. The dude tortured his close friend for information and was all on board with all of them dying. He does try to offer them some sort of citizenship, but it's clear who would be who in this situation. The surrender stations are clearly death traps, since all Decepticons shown besides Jet Fire kill and maim with glee. There are multiple example of Decepticons killing on sight and making their kills a big game.
Megatron does not offer a truce, he offers a surrender (we think), which the Autobots don't take since they're fighting for 'freedom'. This is clearly freedom from Megatron's reign, since he is a cold blooded murderer who has committed genocide and doesn't even bother offering an invitation to Bumblebee because he deems him inferior. he's also fully on board with brainwashing, killing subordinates and plans to rule as dictator. We have revolutions about that in today's world. Of course, the show only implies all of this, because the show is too busy thinking we'll accept that he's a bad guy to actually establish that he's a bad guy, but it's still told to us.
To reverse the situation, if Optimus offered a truce where both sides could live equally, would Megatron accept this? Of course not, since he wants power under the pretense of equality (he's even convinved himself). Just because he's not killing prisoners (straight away) doesn't mean he's a good guy. There's a reason why killing soldiers is not a war crime while torture and killing unarmed prisoners is. He's not inept like Starscream, sure. But he's still a cold dictator. Surrender stations. Please, they could have called them 'suicide stations' and been less subtle.
As for Jet Fire, he wanted Equality. His companions wanted genocide. Pretty clear reason to turncoat right there. He put up with it because Megatron and his cause wanted equality, so he tries to prevent any unnecessary death. He even protests Megatron killing Bee and Wheeljack because they're basically defenseless prisoners and he's not ok with killing them. Megatron slowly over the course of the war starts making more and more kill orders. He says he plans to wipe out the Autobots after they refuse the treaty, and Jet Fire panics when they find it and shoots the guy who goes off to tell Megatron only to realise what he did and hesitate to finish it. Perfectly natural character arc. Basically a German soldier who realsied, 'uh-oh, these Nazis I'm working with are killing and torturing Jews when I just wanted Germany to have rights again'. Saying the Jews should have surrendered is dumb. Of course, Megatron seems to have a but more humanity in this version, so it's not as bad. He does seem to consider high profile Autobots worth his time and even considers Optimus an equal of sorts. But he's still a dictator who rules on the belief of power and fear. The Autobots are basically a rebellion under a cruel king. Again, I wish the show showed us his cruelty rather than implied and told us, but it's still very clear.
*SPOILERS*
It really sucked that the Autobots' cause was basically just "freedom is a right of all sentient beings"... without giving any context behind why is that a thing. We are never shown WHAT is Megatron's plan for Cybertron is. Yeah, he's doing some tough shit NOW, but considering Jetfire is only NOW taking an issue to Megatron's plans and actions, one may think that what Megatron has planned for Cybertron... is not that bad. Or, at least, it wasn't, initially.
Yeah like what is Megatron doing to threaten that freedom. What are the autbots fighting for. The decepticons are just not given any motivation. The autobot have nothing either
I kinda got the impression Seige was partially based in the previous IDW Transformers continuity, with Megatron being a miner, Prowl being a cop and Prime being some kind of government official.
@@mudawott Megatron mentions in one of the episodes how he and many of the Deceptions were CREATED with the INTENTION of working the mines, and he called himself a "slave". Now whether Megatron and the others were indeed slaves and the Autobot's upper echelons were corrupt, or if Megatron is just "embellishing" the truth, that's up in the air, since we're just TOLD that, not SHOWN that.
@@arkron81 Its like he is telling the truth i mean impactor backed up the statement and in the comics Megatron is a miner turned gladioter who creates a revolution and shares much of the same ideals as optimus.
But none of that is established in this continuity.Its a couple of lines and we dont even know how cybertron is at the moment. There's not enough to understand why Prime and Megatron are fighting unless you have a lot of context from other better series!
If they want this to be a new continuity they need to establish rules not just throw plot elements from other series at the wall and hope theres enough context for someone to make a theory
@@ranwolf7650 It has to be right? Peace through tyranny is def something this megatron woukd say. But Megatron in IDW actually has a good build up. His goals are established he has motives and goals and is a clear opposition ti prime most of the time
0:03 Transformers! I wanna kiss Megatron on the lips!
4:07
So basically you wanted Gundam.
*Did you say Gundam!?*
What have you done
They should’ve just made the Fall of Cybertron game into a show
Nah bro, it is ok at it is
What this is right now is very good. I only hope G1 from 1984 gets a wonderful and tasteful new life for many seasons.
I think this trilogy is leading up to it
Fall of Cybertron had a deeper story than this...think about that, a video game that told most of its story through 10-12 cutscenes had more depth than this show.
@@kray97 People, please think. They are TWO games, with a gameplay where you can rest and explore the world.
Is really good comparing it with 6 limited episodes of 30 minutes each?
I think it's very unfair, like comparing peaches and pineapples
The lips quality makes me wonder if they will add Overlord lol
OH. GOD. YES. I've always had a saying that I made for Transformers that is "fear not not the general, but the army they're forced to command." So Overlord could come in and make Megatron start to realize that his revolution might not be as heroic or justified as he originally thought. Plus, with the more grim atmosphere of the cartoon, Overlord going full MTMTE wouldn't be too much for the show. The cartoon can even showcase how Overlord isn't in this for the victory of the Decepticons or the Autobots, he just wants to be on top of everything enough to defeat Megatron. It's like Thanos; has a REALLY STUPID and flawed plan, but is so convinced it's his only way forward, HE WON'T EVER STOP UNTIL HE DIES.
DeltaKnight YES THAT WOULD BE AWESOME HE DESERVES TO BE IN THIS SHOW
but knowing Hasbro’s current G1 trend I don’t think that’s going to happen... He wasn’t in the original show so I don’t think they’re going to put him in this one (as far as I can tell all of the wfcs cast can be traced back to the original cartoon). And there’s been no news on a toy which is disappointing 😔 but you know? A fan can dream...
*but he shouldn’t have a southern accent*
@@cuppajj AGREED. Patrick CAN return, but he'd NEED to drop the accent.
@@cuppajj Well Overlord was in something G1-related (a Japan-exclusive series, but still G1), and Cog was in this series despite not being in the original cartoon or even any of the Japan-exclusive G1 shows. I think Overlord would be fair game, and I'd really enjoy that. The show's darker tone could really let him be brutal like in the comics.
1:03 I love how it’s not even a real call it’s just a pic of the sacred name I cannot speak.
Bottom line: All this show does is tell you everything and shows you nothing.
This guy is "reviewing" this Netflix show, and yet making better ideas for the show itself
I mean it's a Netflix show there's not much competition there
Toasty Bread well said
That's actual fans for you, coming up with better concepts than companies.
BlackHawk397 so basically RWBY nowadays in a nutshell
His way of reviewing this show reminds me how I review certain stuff. Basically me just spitting out my random quick thoughts on things.
At least Optimus and Megatron are given character depth and personalities beyond their typical portrayals of the
perfect leader and an evil warmonger.
*cough* michael bay *cough*
Nothing wrong with a purely evil malignant narcissist that cares for nothing but himself.
@@LordExor however, considering that portrayal, I feel like I don't know anything about Megatron if he's just evil for the sake of evil.
@@littlemisstfc You know plenty about Megatron in that case. You know he's a narcissist that views himself as superior/perfect, and as a result, justifies his megalomania as a matter of destiny-only he is fit to rule all. He's going to try and reshape reality in his image, and all other sentient beings exist purely to serve or become an extension of his will. A negative change arc is fine, but your villain doesn't need to begin as well-intentioned. BW/BM Megatron was never well-intentioned and his negative change arc saw him go from bad to utterly monstrous.
@@LordExor true, it's just my preference. :P
We need more reviews like this from Jobby. Quick, fun and yea not the boring ass stuff where they talk 15 minutes about a single episode, hope the video goes well and im looking forward to new reviews both toy and media ones. Keep up the good work :)
"I'll see you guy's next week"
Studio Cell: You underestimate me Jobby
Still don't like how Astrotrain just randomly shows up at the final battle like WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU
Kinda like his Siege toy. He arrived so late that he practically counts as a Earthrise figure/character too.

Well it is accurate to the toys tbh
was thinking the same thing haha
im pretty sure the toys were made first and they animated with replica models, so yeah the kible is really annoying when it really shouldn't be there
There’s no Grimlock, that’s my dealbreaker
Is nobody going to mention the fact wheeljack called bumblebee a pain in the ass?
Pain in the aft
That was so wrong me and my sister almost threw the computer
I’m scared that jobby is going to get sponsored by raid: garbage legends one day
I hope it doesn't happen
why not? He could roast the crap out of it
He could do what the Internet Historian does. I'm not sure the sponsors even know what his ads are doing to their brands.
@@zeroomega3781 the whole point of being sponsored is to promote it, nor to roast it
“Raid: garbage legends” you got him so much “Sans TheComic9”
Would love to hear your thoughts on Devilman Crybaby
we know he loved it
Yes
@elmo did you loose your head laughing at Miki??

Jobby: 2:17 Optimus Prime on the Other Hand,kind of a D U M B A $ $.
Diamond Bolt: *(Breaks In)* Now son,the Opinion Police.
It’s a great film for Transformers lore newcomers and 80s kids who grew-up with it. For diehard fans however, it can be a summarized misstep.
I watched the show, and I felt like they made Optimus an idiot on purpose, in order to show his progression into more of an effective leader in the next chapters. Megatron was pretty compelling, at least more so than he's usually portrayed. Also, THANKS FOR FEATURING MY ART lol
The War had raged for thousands of years by that point, if he ain't effective by now he aint gonna ever be.
I think so
@FERDINAND MARTICIO If he was Orion Pax, if he wasnt an established leader. If he wasnt an incompetent bore this could have been so good
My biggest complaints like lack of characterization could *easily* have been solved if the series was just... A little bit longer. Six episodes wasn't enough.
This is only the first of 3 chapters- maybe CH2 and CH3 will have more than 6, as well
I agree, hasbro has our permission to make more episodes
@@steamroddsroundhouse2080 Actually no. Hasbro does the picking...I wished it was us, but no....
@@Dovaah What is CH3, then?
It's weird because it's obvious that six episodes wasn't enough to tell a satisfying story, but at the same time, about half of the runtime of the first three or four episodes could be cut with no noticeable impact on the overall story. The worst offender was dedicating a whole episode to the fake Allspark trap when all it does is set up Impactor's faction switch.
Jetfire kind of reminded me of Dinobot from Beast Wars. He was a proud warrior who based his actions on honor and decided to change sides when he didn't agree with the vision his leader had for cybertron.
This man needs to complete his dreams, Let jobby kiss megatron on the lips
A review thats not a toy review, this epidemic is really taking it’s toll
Just kidding man, keep doing what your doing, i dont care what you do just keep making entertaining content 🥰
Brayden Bates yup
Ye
WERE IS THE GUNPLAAAA
Swivel here
The 2010 War for Cybertron still rules over the 2020 iteration, sorry to say.
Paolo Falcone you are rigth.
Agreed
The designs were better, I’d give you that
Any one here think the animation looked janky as hell? I mean compare this new war for Cybertron with Tf prime. Eeesh
@@MondomondoTime the characters were made to look like their toy counterparts
That was the point, atleast the animation isn't like Prime Wars trilogy
Content creators that put a timer up for their ads, are really wonderful. Thank you Jobby
5:47 This is why I love him
He didn't talk about how astrotrain was in for like 2 frames and not even noticed
I did like that he was huge like in Cyberverse.
Disappointing, to be honest. I was expecting a clash between the two giants but astrotrain just disappeared into thin air. Had to rewind the episode back just to confirm that he existed
Wait what? What part?
Ethan Byrne Last episode, around the tine Omega Supreme came.
@@eyywannn8601 ohhh okay okay thank you
I agree that Prime's optimism-to-a-fault was kinda annoying, but his moments of frustration when things weren't going right kinda balanced it out for me. Not completely, but enough that I wasn't annoyed by him. I kinda wish they built on those moments of frustration with him eventually breaking under the constant stress, lashing out, and killing a Decepticon. Maybe having to deal the how him killing that Decepticon was a major victory for the Autobot cause, torn between taking a life to save his people or holding his morals to the determent of the Autobots.
I still really enjoyed the show. Nerded out something fierce when Astrotrain showed up.
Completely agree
Didnt he impale a decepticon in the second half of the chapter?
@@zevaffle3683 Spinister survived, we can see him in the final battle when they are going to destroy the Arc, I think
That could have added an Episode or 2. Astrotrain??? when?
@@zevaffle3683 Oh yeah.
Skyfires dialogue was exactly how you were talking. I love this damn show but Primus on a spike, it needs work, honey!
Siege Jetfire is my favourite Jetfire, and I think he is, by lore, the predecessor of DInobot from Beast Wars.
Im dissapointed how they kind of wasted the potential of most of the cast in the Show by depicting them as just generic Soldier guys with Guns isntead of utelising the Inherit characteristics present in the Transformers mythos and Toys to seperate itself from other Sci-Fi action series.
I mean what i always liked about The Transformers toyline (Especially recently with siege and Titans Return/Power of the Primes) was how unique the toys in the transformers universe are.
There are The regular bots like Optimus and Megatron who can Transform from a Vehicle into a Warrior robot
The Duocon Skytread who consists of 2 individual vehicles which can Combine into one regular sized bot making him basicly a team consistent of himself
The Seekers who can fly
Skywarp who can teleport
Ultra Magnus who is just a white Optimus Prime Wearing an Armor Set to be more powerful
The Combinesr who are Weak individually but can ...Combine into usualy the Strongest Robot of their Faction
And the Smaller car robots like Bumblebee and Sideswipe who i imagine to be a lot faster in Vehicle mode who could maybe fight by using hit and run methods utelising their alt mode.
But for some reason everybody is acts the same in the show heck they never in Transform in battle. Even on a Mission when their main objective is to go from pint A to point B like when they nedded to go to the Spacebridge or Flee from Megatron they Walked insteat of driving when they are TRANSFORMERS Robots that TRANSFORM into Vehicles.
I have other problems with the show but the fact that they realy Transform during the Action Scenes was by far my biggest.
(BTW im not an native English Speaker so sorry for any Mistakes)
Wait, Skywarp can teleport?
@@brokenscreen1005 Yep. He can.
@@arkron81 Wow, I didn't knew
@@arkron81 Wack
They didn't have time. Got to get to Earth and meet Sam Witwicky. Lol
5:10 Please don't ship Ratchet and Impactor. Instead do more Rule 34 of Elita, feed daddy Jobby
@Angelina Chandakham oh
@Angelina Chandakham me too.
@Angelina Chandakham NICE, Impactor is dead lol
@Angelina Chandakham Ok then...
@@brokenscreen1005 Impactor best Siege character. Jetfire, Megatron, Ultra Magnus, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Optimus and Elita were pretty good too
1:19 Did... he just eat out Megatron?
Yes yes he did
Personal Fact:
I thought that Bumblebee was going to take that cube of energeon from the 2nd episode and give it to the Autobots.
I was disappointingly wrong.
Wait Jobby actually watched a new series. That’s pretty cool man that you got the time too watch the show.
He can’t say he didn’t watch it anymore
I loved the show but the old bumblebee design is hard to take seriously.
Agreed. I love G1 but there’s nothing wrong with updating the designs a little
Yea bee kinda looks weird at times and the lips are a bit too prominent
Ehh, I don't think it's the g1 design that's bad, but the head and face design felt off to me. A bit too wide, if you get what I mean. Kinda wish they went based on War Within bumblebee's head. That would've looked a lot cooler lol. But hey, that's just my thoughts on the matter.
The autobot decepticon conflict and megatron's background seems to be taking inspiration from the IDW G1 continuity
I was thinking it’d actually be neat if they actually killed everyone on the ark and focused on the aftermath and forced to use not-as-popular characters. That’d be real interesting. But of fucking course they couldn’t pull that trigger
You forgot something about Bumblebee, hes a pain in the ass, thats who he is.
Well at least he isn't mute
yep what Wheeljack said
@@dylan23497 yea true
@@primecoconut4204 and yes, it is what Wheeljack said.
@@Delfromteamrad tbh, I expected more from Bumblebee to have a reason to join the Autobot cause but well, it seems he is kinda forced into it. Let's hope that he gets fleshed out more by Chapter 2
Soundwave and shockwave aren’t sexy anymore I’m disappointed
Yeah, now Soundblaster kicks asses!
Huh
Luke Aumen their voices aren’t as sexy as before like In g1 and prime lol
I was ok with Shockwave having a more pitched voice, made him sound a lot more insane and devious to me. Soundwave's voice was just a fucking disappointment all around. Tone it down a few pitches and it would have been... superior.
Big thighed Shockwave
And Smexy-ed voice Soundwave
I really loved that they showed slight hesitation within Megatron when he was torturing Ultra Magnus, and especially with the betrayal from Jetfire - with the latter really pushing him past the edge
honestly the part were he says "transformers,I want to kiss megatron on the lips" is so funny
Nobody:
WFC Siege Megatron: 👁️👄👁️
He really said 🟥👄🟥
I've only watched Beast Wars but I'm confused.....
Decipticons used to be slaves and gladiators- Got it.
So the Autobots are fighting to keep roboslaves so they can make art? Got it.
Based on the condition of the planet this war has been going on for years. Got it.
Megatron thought to use the All Spark to rewrite Autobots code to stop fighting after years and years of war showing he isn't insane and pretty logical. Got it.
"Till all are one" right? Everyone on the same team.
So Megatron is trying to stop the fighting without resorting to killing all the Autobots. Got it.
The show reinforces in multiple scenes that if the All Spark is moved off world Cybertron will die. Optimus doesn't care. Got it.
Megatron then changes his objective to saving the planet. Got it.
Optimus' allies even object to his crusade with sound reasoning and Optimus constantly walks away and doesn't use logic or really explain anything beyond "My master is dead". Maybe his master was a frickin' sweet art teacher.
Optimus is wrong.
The Autobots are wrong.
Where is Dinobot?
The Dinobots were created when they were living on earth.
I mean, its kind of a problem only watching a show that completely disconnects itself from most transformers lore and then deciding to watch a show that is kind of an amalgam of transformers lore.
If you’re walking into traditional transformers media with only Beast Wars knowledge, then uh... you’ve got a lot of reading to do, pal
Geez bro I just recently found your channel and been binge watching your playlists for the past 2 weeks now hahah 🤣👌
I'm surprised Jobby didn't talk about optimus' THICC backpack in the show lol
“ Leave some talent to some of us Papa Jobby” -some internet degenerate
Arcee (who appears out of nowhere in the last two eps) was pretty thicc ngl
I like her design, and the personality seems somewhat similar to the Cyberverse's Arcee incarnation
At least she’ll be better than Prime and Movie Arcee, hopefully
@@patricktsai2303 Prime Arcee was way better than this one. For one, she actually looked good, and the other being she had CHARACTER for once, her being the only female never stopped her from being fierce and a leader on her own
Surprised that Jobby didn't talk about Optimas' back kibble
Can't wait for Jobby to express his nerdgasm once he reviews Earthrise
I want to kiss Megatron's lip too
Gold Experience Requiem Lol
Oi Gorudo Experience Requiemu where is Giorno Giovanna and how you can say "I want to kiss megatron 's lip too" you are only a stand right

From what Jobby said about Megatron here, I bet he would LOVE IDW's take on him.
I like these type of videos from you, Jobby. You should do more! (Tho tbh I'd watch any content you put out)
HighMoon Studio's WfC and FoC handle the story better than this.
Rip High Moon Studios 😥
Amen to that! WFC and FOC had solid storylines. This was okay and seemed rushed.
@Goorpijp Wessel I cried when metroplex sacrifice himself and that damned 'til all are one'... Tears...
They said that story through 2 games .Roughly 5 to 6 hours .This is a really good show.
Again, are you truly comparing a limited 6 episode (of 20 minutes each) series with TWO long games where you can rest and explore all by your own?
It's very unfair, it's like comparing cherries and lemons
>Awkward pauses with the voice acting
>Advertised as a Netflix Anime series
HMMMMMM
1:34 That Arcee frame is a lil’ bit sus I’m not gonna lie.
Gotta appreciate that jobby put a timer for the ad. Major respect.
6:03 Ahh yes, the William Shatner method of acting.
I was really not expecting this
Not that I'm complaining
More Jobby Show/ Movie Reviews when
I wanna see jobby takes on the unicron trilogy. It would be really interesing
@@immagoddamnonion1169 I want to see him elaborate more on Beast Machines. He's implied he fucking hates it and I'd like to know the specifics. I think it's not as good as Beast Wars but still not bad by any stretch. Siege actually kinda reminded me of it.
I agree he should review transformers the movie and the live action movie’s
@@jamessinclair2898 Beast Machine is shit, but admitly some concepts are neat. Like Megatron being Cybertron's ruler, Turn every single life to Machine thats will serve him no matter what.
@@immagoddamnonion1169 See this is partly why I like it. It's got some really interesting concepts. I'd love to see Skynet Megatron make a comeback (I mean, we kinda did in AoE, but it wasn't handled very well).
I even got Perfect Effect's Psychroknight - the retool of Jobby's Dragon Son made to resemble BM Megatron (Or Cryotek with the alternate faceplate)
I’m addicted watching ur reviews bc it’s funny and it’s a review lol
I want more series reviews, Jobby. Make it happen
Me every time i see megatron: hmmm he seems to be a very compelling character with a great story arc
Me in my mind: GIVE ME THE LIPS, NOW!
My favorite part about the show was how Cog, who by all logic would have been dismissed as a generic not only survived, but went on missions, got name dropped and felt like really was a character, he felt important, more than some actual legacy guys!
I like how you can roughly judge someone's character quality by there lips size.
Optimus prime doesn't have lips
Has Jobby even seen Bumblebee yet? I heard it was good
