Looks like this is another video that needs a pinned post!
1) The Sea of Rust is unrelated to Cosmic Rust. It's existed since the 80s, and has taken a variety of forms; I'll probably look at it in a video of its own some day.
2) The disease Optimus Prime was stricken with in "Transformers: Prime" was Cybonic Plague. It's got the same conceptual origin as Cosmic Rust (ts name is a reference to the bubonic plague, aka the Black Death, which Cosmic Rust was likened to by Perceptor in the G1 episode), but it's not a Cosmic Rust. Similarly, Scraplets have nothing to do with Cosmic Rust. Why would I talk about Scraplets? They'll get their own video. This isn't a video about Transformer illness in general, so it's not included here. A video about TF disease in general is still certainly on the cards, though, as there are a lot of them; Cosmic Rust just happens to be the one that can support its own video.
What will your next video be about?
Ohhhhh ok thx for explaining the difference between the two plagues
I always thought Cosmic Rust was closer to Leperosy.
Will your next video be about another Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal, or Predacon?
Michael Gutierrez probably?
Never forget the nightmarish deaths of Movieverse Ironhide and Cyberverse Blurr.
i knew he used wheponised rust palge
I have a tendency to think that content for children these days is too sanitized but, if that Cyberverse scene is anything to go by, I need to re-think that.
Blurry died the way he lived fast
Velocitron in cyberverse I thought it was only in Unicron Trilogys final arc cybertron
Same
I swear "this lead to Megatron starting the decepticons" is becoming as common as "they were offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream"
Woah it’s TallJoke!
I hear underbase powered the most
The poem Onyx Prime recites when he attacked the Torchbearers was actually from the original cartoon?!? That's such a great call back!
David Doane wow i just realised that
It's also written in cybertronian on their figures
And Antilla was the first cybertronian colony aka Unicron.
Context? Where does that happen?
@@ShinoSarna The IDW cómic books
I love how that asteroid shard goes straight through Astrotrain's hull without infecting him.
It did
Maybe Astrotrain wasn’t in contact with the asteroid long enough to get it
He and Starscream are properly immune, due to an ancestor getting freaky with a flesh creature. Who knows. It does explain the bio-tech for the Maximals and Predacons in Beast Wars.
@@LadyCoyKoi
Interesting..
Davis Tran I mean Megatron got fucking stabbed with it, it was within him for like at least two hours
"They were on a search for energon, the lifeblood of our race. Without it, we'd all perish; oxidize and rust, like my wretched self! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SLOWLY FALL APART AND DIE!" -Jetfire, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
"I'll miss her like I miss rust between my treads", - Megatron, _Transformers: Power of the Primes_ episode "Consequences".
"Unfortunately the operation is successful" Starscream after pulling the cosmic rust chunk out of Megatron
I would love a video about all the various non-Deception villains the Autobots have faced across all iterations of the franchise.
Lockdown and some versions of BlackArachnidia technically count.
@@victoracosta4796 Unicron would be the most notable. The Quintessons, Sharkticons, Allicons would also count. Primeacron and Tornedron. The Atlanteans I think count. I am only going by the cartoons in G1.
@@alanguages Also some of the humans, like Cemetery Wind, Dr. Arkeville, Cyrus, etc.
@@victoracosta4796 I wonder if there is even enough information for some, as they were only in one episode. It would be a mini The Basics On.
A basics on Dr Morroco would be cool.
The rust spreading on the title card was a nice touch! I wonder if this'll be touched upon in SIEGE? Hope you're staying safe out there, Chris!
Hope it does
Judging by the trailers looks like Megatron is gonna use the Allspark to infect all the remaining Autobots on cypertron with some sort of plague maybe it will be cosmic rust
@@omarsalem1219 It's a possibility
@@omarsalem1219 The vibe I got from the Decepticon Plague in SEIGE is that MEGATRON is going to annihilate the free will of all cybertronians in order to make a unified decepticon populus.
@@BenBoyee Just finished watching Siege and spoiler alert:
You be right
The warning poem is honestly so ominous. And the fact that it's written on the Torchbearer's body, and sort of using it as a warning about THEM is one of my favorite details.
"If Cybertron be your home..." -Pyra Magna
"...far away, never roam." -Rust Dust
"Hear my message, listen and fear..." -Skyburst
"...danger comes, the end is near." -Stormclash
"Just like us, you soon will rust." -Dust Up
"And all shall be turned to dust." -Jumpstream.
it make it sounds like they were infected
IM still pissed at sentinel for killing ironhide
Every one still is PISSED......but at least he is dead, and WON T come back any time soon ( at lest the movie version).....
I think its safe to say all of us are pretty pissed at that bastard.....he has the metal scrotum to call himself an autobot
And you still pissed on the curtains, "whitecat"!
Don't think I forgot!
Is not a great loss, Ironhide did nothing anyway.
@@TheAutobotPower yes,but he's a badass
When it comes to plagues, I've always liked the hate plague in Transformers Basically a Transformers version of 28 Days Later.
I loved the return of optimus prime double episode
That was amazing I would love for it to return
It scared the bajeebus outta me when I was 8
"I hereby discharge you from duty."
Gone reduced to atoms
ThunderCracker the random seeker no one likes
No I like you!
When I saw that moment as a kid I was frigging mad! A great way to establish Sentinel Prime as being a jackwagon who needed to be stopped
Let’s be honest that rhyme is one of the creepiest ones in cartoon history
That's no poem but your Right
Oh yeah. Even as an adult watching G1 for the first time, it definitely creeped me out.
Not wrong
Theory:
Because Velocitron is a desert planet which orbits close to it's corresponding star, and the continued traffic on it's vast web or roadways, means that there is probably a lot of heat throughout. This likely stimulated the pathogens growth in a similar fashion to the Antillan heat ray, causing it to spread at an extremely rapid pace, even disintegrating large amounts of infrastructure. Velocitron may be the most vulnerable to the rust plague out of all the Transformers' colony worlds.
wow you read into this
If it were an ocean world, they'd be just as vulnerable to rust.
Here's what I want to see, cybertronian colonies, neutral cybertronians, war drones such as the confusion droid and confusion drone, Omega Sentinels. Cybertronian species.
I'd like to see all of that too. Transformers stories usually focus so much on the Autobots and Decepticons that you never get to see other interesting things, so it'd be good to see what's out there that has - and will be - produced.
The colonies and omega sentinels check
And Chris said he is making a video about drone armies
I can still see the horror on tf animated hot rod's face after his exposure to comsic rust
Or Bayverse Ironhide watching himself fall to pieces
@@wingedbluj1674 I know. R.I.P animated hot rod. Bayverse Ironhide too.
@@jahbruce99 but he didn't die though
@@logicaltips4107 ????
@@jahbruce99 wiki
The Rust Plague also appeared in season 3 of Cyberverse, where Hot Rod and Soundwave are trapped in a loop that’s rusting away, and the only way to survive is to buff the room clean. This looks like another cure for the rust plague, but it was probably a gimmick for the loop.
I mean it’s kind of how they cured it in gen 1.
Ah yes. The death of Blurr, Ironhide and almost Megatron!
Megatron counts because when he was reborn as galvetron i saw cosmic rust dust on his arm cannon
Very cool to go deep into the Cosmic Rust Stories!
Thought he was going to mention cybonic plague when talking about aligned continuity.
The most surprising part of this episode is how hopeless the CYBERVERSE show's iteration was. I mean, that is dope, but Cyberverse had always looked hopeless kiddy, so that was a surprise.
There have been a surprisingly amount of on screen deaths, and BRUTAL violence towards starscream by megatron. It shocks me that they're still marketing this to kids.
@@patrickdees5256 Kids can take more than they are given credit for, that Blurr death is nasty, but I would not say it's inappropriate for kids.
Again, I am SURPRISED it goes that far, but very pleased given how overly sensitive the world is now.
@@Excellsion agreed I'm less made about Cyberverse Blurr's death, because it was an appropriate send of to him.
He realized that he was the only one who could stop the spreading and made the difficult decision. That's a great lesson to give to kids.
"Sometimes we have to sacrifice ourselves to save others."
@@patrickdees5256 It was that beatdown on Starscream that kept me invested in the show. Megatron hadn't looked that relentless since the Prime series.
@@travisfields157 yeah but even then I don't Prime Megatron was AS brutal in his starscream abuse, at least in my opinion.
honestly Cosmic Rust is a fate worse than death, you get Thanos'd if infected.
great basics episode though.
Cosmic Rust has a slow death, the snap is most likely painless.
@@_RandomPerson_ not according to spiderman.
@@genisisbeing Spider-Man just felt something wrong was happening. He wasn't in pain, he was scared
@@genisisbeing He got bit by a spider, I think that changes things.
Shelby Chase
Spider sense was telling him something was wrong. Notice how he doesn’t scream out in pain, just says he’s scared and doesn’t wanna go.
This is a good way to enforce social distancing on Cybertron
Please do cliffjumper whirl ratchet sky lynx road rage and needlenose next
@@BasedVegeta what?
Yeah, go outside and your insides will become crust.
@@zetasann 😒😒😒 really man and I don't see this have to do the comment I'd just sented 21 minutes ago
MS darkness
....What? I wasn’t talking about you, I was just replying to the ACTUAL comment.
I love how the old Autobot resembles an ancient warrior from Greece or Rome. Isn't it amazing how things that appear in a single episode of G1 can grow into such concepts. Nightbird is the prime example, but here we have the world of Antilla, the Cosmic Rust, and the Ancient Autobot language that have expanded far beyond their original appearance. Truly, more than meets the eye.
Cosmic rust, the hate plague, cybonic plague, Tox-En, there's quite a few ways for cybertronians to get sick. Keep up the good work man, always look forward to waking up on Saturdays to watch these. Also, since they were mentioned what about a basics episode on the Cybertronian colonies?
I think this is one of the G1 episodes I skipped when I was making my way through those first two seasons. This is a really good episode of The Basics, Chris. I always like seeing these weird obscure things I didn't know had as much influence as they do.
For some reason, I remember Corrostop til this day.
I would love to see the basics of Ratchet, he’s a great character
Starscream: "Perhaps you're made of shoddy materials, Megatron!!"
Me: Sees this video
My Mind: Sees Ironhide dying
Me: tramatized
oh come on i just forgot about it a month ago
Awww poor Blurr :( Why does everyone want to kill him off?
What bakit Cliffjumper?
Iguesstheydontlikeitthathetalkslikethis.
So...
When can we expect a basics episode for those metal munching monsters: the scraplets
When I saw ironhides death in dotm it low key traumatized me
I didn't like that Iron Hide. Good riddence
308328928 riddance*
Oh man this was a great episode! I knew about the rusts appearance in the original series and animated. But I had no idea about all the other appearances throughout the franchise. This is rather informative. I hope you stay safe out there too.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 sentinel prime's rust gun killing ironhide? Yup. I forgot all about that. I barely remember those movies. Blocked them from memory. Hate them.
Wait, does that mean, in the aligned continuity, that Megatron engineered the Cybonic Plague after hearing stories of the cosmic rust that brought an end to Cybertron's golden age?
I wonder if Cosmic Rust was ever offlined by a Cosmically Powered Starscream
Oh God, are you serious?! This joke AGAIN on a The Basics comments section? And not even a good one at that... Haven't we as The Basics watchers moved past this joke yet? Obviously not, as you got 61 likes on it...
@@metalmatt3431 dude chill
@@youtubecoppa3406 You're totally right, they're never gonna stop making this joke so I should just live with it. But seriously... The amount of likes on the 2 "jokes" about cosmically-powered Starscream makes me sad for humanity...

*"If Cybertron be your home, far away never roam. Hear my message, listen and fear. Danger comes, the end is near! Just like us, you soon will rust. All shall be turned to dust."*
"Mr. Prime, I don't feel so good"
I hate that joke.
@@gochem3013 of course
@@gochem3013 you're right
That title card sequence was *mwah* perfection!
One question though...was it ever explained why the weapon was shaped like a bug? Random creative decision? Did you mention it and I just missed it? Or was there a story reason they chose a bug shape? I dig it, just curious.
Great video, as always though. Can't wait for the next one ! 🤙🏻
Even the writer doesn't remember!
@@ChrisMcFeely well that's a bummer.
@@ChrisMcFeely probably because of an Egyptian myth where the dead Ra is ressurected by a scarab beetle or just because of the scarab beetles reputation with death and rebirth maybe not the last part
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 if so, thats an interesting piece of media worth using next time on any transformers cannon, to give more lore to the series....
@@ChrisMcFeely so I am creating a transformer OC. his name is Ultra Wave. and when i saw this, I thought to my self, "maybe i can say Ultra Wave could be immune to the cosmic rust."
Starscream: “Megatron! You’re showing symptoms of Cosmic Rust! Wear a face mask and get yourself quarantine until we can get you tested!”
Megatron: “Face masks are a conspiracy and cosmic rust is just the robot flu!”
Starscream: “At least wash your hands with Corrostop!”
Megatron: “NEVER!”
Then I starscream declare myself leader of the decepticons
Yeah I can see that
Shockwave: The rust is worsening.
Soundwave: Megatron the rust is infecting the troops.
Megatron: It will go away with the heat
Soundwave: but Lord Megatron
Megatron: It will go away with the heat!
@@yh132 Soundwave: Please, lord Megatron. Your hands have fallen off. Don't leave us under Starscream's command. 🥺
Let’s see The Basics on:
-Chris McFeely
-How an episode is made (basics on the basics)
Stinger: i am a prime and a overpowering warrior
cosmic rust: im about to end this mans entire career
"You,... who are without mercy,.. now beg for it? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MADE OF STERNER STUFF!"
That modified intro sound creeped my skin **shivers**
Sentinal prime: yes!
Iron Hide:no!
By far one of my favorite episodes
If the parallel wasn't obvious enough with Cosmic Rust. They would revisit the idea of mass contagion with the Hate Plague much later. Which I think worked a lot better.
I work Saturdays, so I always look forward to watching your newest videos when I come to work! Keep up the great work!! Been watching them over 2 years now!
There's also the Corrosive Slime Cannon from Fall of Cybertron, which you can use to shoot what appears to be cosmic rust at your enemies. It's a lot of fun to use when playing as a Decepticon.
Who's going to be the first one to make a Thanos joke in the comments
Fear it. Run from it. But it arrives all the same.
Snap 😂
@bryan diaz varela Bruh moment.
Big, big Chungus,
Big Chungus, Big Chungus.
By the looks of it, you are.
I like what you did there at the very beginning. XD
I liked what you did at the beginning, having the title screen rust over like that. That's why I like your channel so much. 👍👍👍
I think the most jarring part of Cosmic Rust from the original cartoon was the fact that it's so deadly, that MEGATRON himself was scared of it.
Man, I love this channel so much. I learned a lot thanks to you!
Another top video Chris! Would love to see an episode on cybertron’s golden age in the future 👍
Great episode, but surprised you didn't mention any possible link between Cosmic Rust and the Sea of Rust from the War for Cybertron games, or detail how Transformers Animated expanded the lore for its version of Cosmic Rust in the two Allspark Almanac supplements.
Why would he mention something that has nothing to do with the Theme of the Video?
This was the inspiration of a Rust plague for my D&D campaign where it’s able to infect organics as well machine’s. It’s super cool!
Don’t know why there’s literally many things about the transformers that we didn’t know
Well transfroemrs is a realy big big story of cartoons and comics i mean if you want to know everythink you need to read every comic and watch all cartoons
If I was a transformers nerd I’ll would known every thing from comics
@@kaikalasales8507 🤣🤣🤣🤣 me too well i know a lot of names tho
Can you next make the basics on megatron? I’m sure many of us really want to see it.
I watched this so much as a kid. Still have the VHS
That was about 500% more than I knew about something I thought I knew everything about. Well done.
So fun fact: apparently Sideways claims to have used Cosmic Rust to destroy The Fallen's collection of priceless antique weapons hidden away in the Realm of the Primes.
The most darkest was in cybervers
I love this channel. Its my fav and look forward to new videos every week. Hope ya keep it up bud.
That detail about the Victorion Team is something I was not aware of and it's pretty darn cool!
I love how they used Blurr to be the messenger.
I through I was the only one that noticed lol
Mr Chris Mcfeely,If you reading this message I beging you,I really mean it
Basics of nova prime🌟
Awesome episode. I would like to request an episode: the basics on the hate plague virus as seen in late G1 cartoon.
1:50 Strange how this Ancient Cybertronian resembles Bluur...maybe his Ancestor?
So we're doing infections now? Does that mean we're going to see The Basics of the Rage Virus down the road?
In dinotrux there was a thing called rust dust and in my dream the vocal damaged whirl blades where making a cosmic storm and the rust started to breaking me down and I accidentally scanned the batmobile and I had no choice my fortwaiker form was permanently offline now
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to learn more abt this, thank you so much
This is probably one of your best videos good sir
WAIT, THE JUNKIONS ARE INMUNE TO COSMIC RUST, I MEAT THEY ARE ALREADY RUSTY SCRAP BODYS?
same reason the dinobots don't need cybertonium
The Junkions don't seem to have rusty bodies, but have salvageable body parts.
1) No one ever said they are immune to it. They aren't rusty.
2) If, (a big IF), the Junkions are immune to Cosmic Rust that doesn't make them like the Dinobots not needing Cybertonium. There's zero correlation.
Jason Chastain Its because of the fact that the dinobots aren’t built on cybertron and aren’t affected by cybertronian diseases like lack of cybertonium same with the junkions being immune to rust since they aren’t built alike to the other cybertronians
Great video. I would like see the Basics on other Transformer diseases & mind control related stories.
how fitting this shows on my feed today, I just watched the episode yesterday :)
Great Stuff! As always!
Another awesome topic...nicely done.
I love your channel! Please do Megatron!
Please do the Basics on the Aligned Continuity
Simply genius Chris !!!
There was also the "Scrapelet" a more parasitical ill encountered in the comic.
Tiny transforming robots like the Cybertronians themselves that ate robots - The living robots of course (No culinary experience eating non-living). It was defeated using ordinary water in the end.
YES!!! I rewatched that episode last week...
Basics on tarantulas please
"Hey, I'm going to record a warning before we all die"
"Okay, just make sure it rhymes"
"Obviously I'm going to make sure it rhymes! How would they know I was serious if it didn't rhyme?"
This was rather interesting subject of today's basics, deeper history of Cosmic Rust/Rust Plague and few various of it.
The IDW rust chapters were pure nightmare fuel...
Yay I am early to one of your videos just wanted to say that I just subscribed now even though I watched more than half of your videos keep up the great work 👍
The homie posting at 2 in the morning praise the Allspark I have a excuse not to sleep.
Cyberverse Blurr was the first real clue that the show was going to have some much darker elements hiding underneath it's overly kid-friendly exterior. That was super morbid and if I were a kid would probably be properly horrified by it.
I knew I saw you put up this video but when I went to go search for it, it was gone and I thought i was nuts
A timely episode, this is.
I really like these basics episodes. Can you do one about what happens to transformers when they die
Great video.
i think scraplets and cosmic rust would be the most terrifying part of being a transformer
Such good episode !! Thanks so much. Isn't the hate plague another disease in Transformers Lore?
Yes it is
Sort of...
I think...
I have been buying SIEGE toyline only to realize NOW that there is hidden codes on the boxes. That's a cool feature
The name give me chills
Cosmic rust: (exists)
Ironhide: (chuckles) I’m in danger.
This is so cool this is the best
