I have to notice that 0:59 shows the alternate transformation for Bruticus' tank arm, different than the one shown on toy instructions, that gives it proper articulation. It also looks like the arm configuration of Brawl from the Fall Of Cybertron Bruticus.
I've been recently thinking of what would be needed to remake Energon as a legitimately good show. There were a few things, but the entire show being in this traditional animation style with this level of quality was a must.
@@heidichrist4000 in person, it would be. The CGI just makes it look bad. Well, apart from the combination sequences, but those were hand drawn, not CGI.
I don't know for a fact that that's the greatest utterance of the word "Transform" in the history of the Transformers franchise, having not watched the Japanese version of any of these shows, but I can't imagine any other instance topping that. It would have been fun if Don Brown tried to replicate that for the dub.
In a way, yes. Buildron is the Japanese name for the Constructicons...and since Scavenger from Armada is called Devastar in Japan, which is also Devastator's Japanese name. It is Hasbro just re-using old names to slap it on a character that they think suits them and then earn a profit from the toys. Plus Constructicon Maximus also got a redeco as Devastator in the classics line.
@@SwedishSeacon based on the fact that this show was the 20th anniversary of transformers and a lot of the bots were based on G1 bots, I have no doubt that Constructicon Maximus (Buildron) was meant to be Devastator at least in hasbro markets. However I think because of trademark issues, just like shockwave whom they had renamed into Shockblast in this show, had to be renamed.
I would guess they had to do that in order to trademark the name, kinda like "Autobot Ratchet". There was a period of time where they weren't able to trademark "Shockwave" (which is why the character in this show clearly modeled after him was called "Shockblast". (even though that was actually Tidal Wave's Japanese name)
and a lot of other anime mecha before and after, then again, this episode parody not only the transformers series, but also other anime shows, for example, on a commercial bumper, Snowcat and Demolishor are showing doing the "Fusion Dance" of Dragon Ball Z fame
Good news friend, I have the answer! From the TFWiki: "The music used during the Maximus transformation sequences is a shortened cut of Catastrophe - Final Chapter - NSF-214-08, licensed from the Nash Music Library. It has never appeared on any official soundtrack.". Here's a link to it: www.nash.jp/nml/search/result?keyword=Catastrophe&exclusion_keyword=&property%5B0%5D=music&property%5B1%5D=sfx&property%5B2%5D=album I don't know if there's a free version available online without the audio watermark, but oh well.
@@keldeostudies149 I'm sorry to hear that. If you're talking about the link I gave, maybe it's region-specific. Edit: I see someone else linked to the track elsewhere in this comment section. Look for a comment thread by someone named "Zavatron".
If you look at the shots of them not transforming, they are CGI of the toys. Moving very much as the toys would. Which is clearly very bulky and unnatural as you said.
@Zmaczimum all female transformers have breasts. they are biomechanical organisims so technically they have some kind of reproduction aswell as just being built by others
