Current Events > I just wasted six hours watching random Transformers videos

(+) Yeah! (+)

Cybertron Starscream was a beast, a far cry from how he usually is
Why did that one robot have boobs?, Why was one of the robots changed from a man in japan to a girl in English? Do people like Galvatron as a separate entity from Megatron or more as Megatron but stronger? Why did one of the shows have a red haired brown loli bot?, Why is Bayformers still a thing and now they're doing Beast Wars?, Do all these series exist cocurrently or are they alternate continuities, Fall of Cybertron, War for Cybertron, Rise of the Dark Spark and the Prime TV series are said to be the same continuity but it feels like that's impossible and finally, why is one set of this called the Unicron trilogy when the characters look and act different in each series?

Gotta say tho, Beast Wars and had some things in it I never noticed back when I was a kid namely the sexual tension between Air razor and Tigatron, Blackarachnia started out as an autobot before going Decepitcon, never knew that and Rhinox was like the show's Piccolo, out of all my beigns so far I don't think I ever want to see Beast Machines it's a direct sequel to Beast Wars yet something's really off about it.

Aside from this random act of waste of time due to taking Allergy medicine I sure am feeling dizzy and hungry, shame there's nothing open you can walk to at almost 3am

I watched 2hrs of this guy

And how I found this

I feel for Starscream's actor, doing that voice had to put a strain on the old vocal chords. Probably why later versions of the dude never speaks like that anymore. It's damn funny tho especially Megatron getting hot for whoever that is on the screen

As Transformers is my life I wouldn't call it wasted, heh.

Thunderblast (Chromia)... yeah. It was odd that she actually had boobs (with nipples) under her breast plate.

I'm sure Hasbro just wanted more female representation on the show so they changed Override's gender.

For the most part Galvatron has always been an upgraded Megatron. The only exception I can think of is when they were first marketing the original toy in Japan and made him the equivalent of Ultra Magnus as "city commander", and advertisements showed him alongside Megatron.

Sari is later revealed to be an Autobot protoform that scanned Isaac Sumdac and took the form of a young girl based on his dna.

Bayformers technically died with The Last Knight. Bay was one of five producers for Bumblebee, and will be one of six for Rise of the Beasts, but the film will be directed by Steven Caple Jr.

G1 Seasons 1 through 4 in the west is the original continuity. In Japan they dropped S4 and made their own, The Headmasters. Season 5 is Masterforce, S6 Victory, S7 Zone, S8 Battlestars, S9 Operation Combination, and technically S10 is Car Robots which became Robots in Disguise in the west. You could also factor in Beast Wars, and it's Japanese spin-offs BWII and BW Neo into the mix.

Micron Legend (Armada) and Superlink (Energon) are connected, but the third Galaxy Force is a totally separate continuity. Hasbro linked Cybertron to the others, but there are plot holes galore. Animated is it's own thing. Prime is followed by the 2015 Robots in Disguise, but there was also a dvd bonus Transformers: Go! which had 6 episodes and came with the Japanese toys, and that takes place after Prime. The whole thing can be messy to understand, heh.

Beast Machines was definitely an odd time to be a fan back then, and it heavily divided the fanbase which in turn gave birth to the various message boards and sites we have today.

I dunno why but the concept of Galvatron and Megatron being 2 different robots bugs me.

It would be like if Thor with a hammer and Thor with an axe where 2 different heroes.

I like Galvatron as an upgraded Megatron who went bat shit insane due to the Unicron/The Matrix/All The War and is now an unstable wreck.

Rhinox was like the show's Piccolo

Funnily enough Piccolo's voice actor did 4 characters in BW, none of them Rhinox.

and Rhinox's actor (Richard Newman) was the original Captain Ginyu.

So where does that leave War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron? It's suppose to be Prime's universe but how does that make sense seeing how In fall of cybertron Starscream got knocked out by Grimlock and everybody got sucked into the vortex at the end and he kinda pissed Megatron off by trying to take over his role after he got Metroplex'd also an amazing scene giving the player the satisfaction of dishing that splat out personally

Best I can do is direct you here

sounds fun, hope you had a good time

From most of what I can remember, I had fun. Transformers Cybertron's opening might be my favorite because of how often I heard it back in the school days.

They sure did like to talk during their transformation sequences in that show

Hasbro felt they were too quiet. This has always been a thing when dubbing a Japanese product. So much unnecessary dialogue.
