There’s no excuse for that kind of thing nowadays.

It didn't take long for it to be region-broken.

Hasbro, guys. Easy thing to do. Put this in front of or behind Transformers One. Because this video was great. It even made designs from things like Earthspark look good, and it's only heightening the desire to have Trigger do a full show.

I don't get why Hasbro would want to hide this like it's 1997 and Saban is dubbing the show.

It makes their output look terrible by comparison so they got to hide it Wink

After watching the video all I have to say is a quote of Herbert the Pervert from Family Guy. "...now I want more" A lot of great shots and interactions. I'm not sure why I was surprised to see the live-action bots there given how popular the movies were back then but I laughed that they kept ROTB Airrazor in her beast mode since the movie never let het transform.

Best parts was G1 Optimus and Primal fusing together to become Optimal Optimus and Animated Prime facing off against Overlord. Also that shot of Miko was sassy so I'm not surprised Trigger probably likes her. Kicker, Sari, and the Headmaster Juniors looked like they'd fit right in with Gridman and makes me want a modern version of the concept from Trigger. A man can dream.

It was cool to see so much of the franchise represented, but I don't know. The video kind of felt low-energy to me. There was limited animation throughout to the point that at the start I was genuinely wondering if the entire thing was going to be a still frame slideshow. I guess that's the down side of wanting to cover so much in a short time. It's not like robots are easy to draw.

I watched some old cartoons a bit, that one anime with shark robot, and a few movies.

Seriously considering to just get into the whole franchise marathon, order of Release, including games, and comics...

I finally got to watch it. I’m pretty impressed; they managed to squeeze in so many cameos and references, many of probably which went over my head. It’s nice that even the more obscure shows got some love.

Wow, I...I think that may have been one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen:

- Combining a studio with great Mecha animation and a love of Transformers + Bump of Chicken music = tons of awesomeness

- So many major moments (Prime!Cliffjumper's and Dinobot II's deaths!), so many parts of the franchise honored (even the live-action movies!), even every human cast shows up. Anime versions of Miko, Sari, Marissa, the Clay father-and-son, even the Malto's!

- So many Optimus Primes and Megatrons. They even had Cyberverse in there! Optimus Prime's doing the Obari Pose! Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal and BW!Megatron and G1! Megatron fusing into Optimal Optimus and Transmetal II Megatron!!!

- G1 Optimus and Megatron transitioning into Earthspark Optimus and Megatron to shake hands...so beautiful.

I'm surprised they remembered Go! of all things. That always seemed to be forgotten. A shame there weren't any representation of any of the manga like Legends of Kiss Players but I guess it was only TV shows and movies. Although I don't think I saw any WFC representation but that would be hard to tell since WFC was very derivative of G1.

They actually did it. They released it on time. In fact, they released it a few days earlier. Well done. Video was nice. Got to see Alexa.
