I assuming you're saving Grimlock's alternate color scheme for a future video, seeing as you've shown off everyone else's already.

I'm gonna be that Transformers fan and point out that Generation 2 isn't the stuff after the movie. That's just the third season.

Transformers Generation 2 was a later franchise, whose cartoon was just reshown G1 episodes (mostly from the first two seasons, with only 3 from the third.)

You can generally tell it's not G2, because if it was, Grimlock would have probably looked like this:



Then you get the bonus S4 of Japan with the Headmasters and TargetMasters because they didn't like the Return of Optimus Prime ending to G1.

Continuity gets WEEEEIRD.

Think of it as Grimlock's Alternate Paintjob getting washed off every time he comes back to base because everyone else is disturbed at the mosaic of Decepticon energon/oil/robotblood/dust/insecticon bits/etc. around his maw.

As for Wheeljack... Well... Who paints the painter?

...I'll accept that.

To be fair, I was more upset at Grimlock not getting alternate colors than Wheeljack.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
It's not quiiiite alternate colours. the DLC was for "Nemisis Prime, Red Alert and Goldbug." Recolour, Recolour and basically recolour with slight skin changes.

The thing is, Wheeljack and Grimlock don't have, I believe, other transformers who use their mold. Especially not in G1

Well, there was a Wheeljack recolour released earlier in the year (based on a pre-transformers variant) but I can see why they wouldn't want to use him.

Well, there's always Slicer. Grimlock could've gone with Trypticon or his Shattered Glass coloration.

OK,I can get behind Evil Optimus Prime. Considering how evil he was already acting in the other movies,I'm sure that one "the Bay films are actually brilliant" guy's probably high-fiving himself as we speak

I'd' almost forgive Bay for everything if he could do this right. Since he's Michael Bay and incapable of making a story work, I'm not holding my breath.

It's probably gonna turn out that Prime's being brainwashed or controlled or whatever by Oreo-Bot. This is Bay,after all.

You need to watch Pain & Gain.

Fun fact: Michael Bay also directed the very first Got Milk commercial. Yes, the Aaron Burr peanut butter one.

Pain & Gain is so good I routinely forget it's a Bay film.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
If Bay were a cinematographer, he'd be one of the most well respected artists in the business. His shot construction is amazing and though sometimes simple, his dynamic shots are almost impossible to copy.
Instead, he's a director and makes ungodly amounts of money with every film and no one acknowledges his artistic prowess. Boo Hoo

There's a great piece done by an editor called "What is Bayhem" that references Bay watching West Side Story with a journalist, his favorite movie. Bay loves the movement and dynamism in the movie, but can't articulate why or what they mean.
He has no understanding, or even the want to understand, the visual language of film. He just wants things to look dynamic at all times, regardless of whether or not it's appropriate for the narrative. It's why his films are so cluttered and busy, and why his Transformers were over designed abominations. That meant that there could always be more movement in every scene as parts of the Transformers moved around on the moving Transformers

We have a mom and pop theatre here that is basically a restaurant with four movie screens, and they do cool poo poo like $5 all day tickets when they do Hitchcock marathons and stuff like that. I have seen more than a couple movies I went into sober and came out a little drunk, usually in proportion to length:badness.

Episode 7Youtube | Polsy

New enemies added to their section!

Just as a note, I am wrong about the debut of the Stunticons, they actually came before the Combaticons and are part of the episodes that also introduced the Aerialbots. Also I don't have it done but I will get the lore for this episode screenshot and up as soon as I feel up to it.

Lastly, we won't be doing any episode next week cause the days leading up to Christmas will be a very busy one for me and I suspect all my free time will be spent catching up on sleep or trying to relax.

Oh man, the Stunticons! I thought they were so cool as a kid. I actually liked their vehicle forms better than their combined form.

Stunticons were my favoudite.

I even got a full set when they re-released them in the 90s. my Dead End's legs didn't stay stuck out though. :(

The Aerialbots were, in fact, made as an Autobot response to the Stunticons.

As a bonus, my brothers both liked the Aerialbots, so we had the natural enemies!
