TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on STRAXUS 

I hate how easy it is for me to read this in your voice

👍

So this means I can have TWO Straxus' in my squad without doing a multiverse thing!? X0. XD.

Sheesh, sounds like a twist from a bad daytime soap opera.

Could you link your friend's review of they toy from 5:05 plz? I can't find it. 😞

I like to think Galvatron accidentally rewrote his own history in Target: 2006; while originally he was created from Megatron, after his interference in the timeline, his origin was changed so that he was created from the clone. This explains why he can remember things from Megatron II's perspective in Time Wars. You see, if Galvatron hadn't travelled back in time, Optimus Prime would never have been displaced, and thus the Autobots wouldn't have had to work with Megatron. Thus, Optimus wouldn't have faked his death to teach the Autobots a lesson, Megatron wouldn't have hunted him to Cybertron, and Straxus wouldn't have tried to take over Megatron, and thus "Project Re-Birth" wouldn't have been deployed.

@@pp-wl1tf The U.K. Comics take place in the universe Primax 984.20 Gamma, while the timeline that this specific Galvatron came from was Primax 986.13 Gamma. It is kinda difficult to understand thoroughly what is explained during Ask Vector Prime (A in story Q&A) but my understanding is this. The timelines seem to have once been the same timeline, but when Spoiler Alert, Cyclonus was killed by the Megatron clone that this video discusses. A rift formed because of this death, because when Cyclonus went back in time, he did not replace his mass, making the physics of the universe star to go haywire, causing the events from the Time Wars story. This most likely means that everything prior to the death of Cyclonus happened in the timeline that Galvatron came from. Meaning that Straxus had created a Megatron clone in Galvatrons reality. At this point in the comics the actual Megatron was still in hiding, so because of the change in time, he may or may not go on to kill his clone. What I am trying to say is that because of what I mentioned above, and why Galvatron did start to remember some things from Megatron's perspective near the end of Time Wars, potentially after the universe split into two timelines, is that more likely than not, the Megs clone became Galvatron. While the original timeline might have had the actual Megatron become Galvatron, the universe saving itself from a paradox potentially caused Galvatron to be formed from a different Megs. I know that this is confusing, but here are some links that might help. As I said this is my best interpretation after looking at all these sources, so it may not be 100% until we get further confirmation. tfwiki.net/wiki/Cyclonus_(G1)#Marvel_The_Transformers_comics tfwiki.net/wiki/Mass_substitution tfwiki.net/wiki/Time_Wars tfwiki.net/wiki/Primax_984.20_Gamma tfwiki.net/wiki/Primax_986.13_Gamma tfwiki.net/wiki/Ask_Vector_Prime/Facebook_src#August_12.2C_2015

That's a very good theory. I'd never thought of that.

The U.K. continuity is very confusing.

Good to know.

I wish they reintroduce Deathsaurus has a potentiel decepticon leader.

Well they can do a "real" Rise of the Dark Spark(instead of that crapy game)with more dangerous villains...like, he can team up with Megatronus,Overlord and Dark Rodimus

Hints of the G1 comic's Shockwave are starting to show up in Cyberverse.

Like sideways, or overlord from the super god master force, Deathsaurus ect

I agree. I had never heard of this guy before this morning. Other evil leaders make the transformers universe seem bigger, like when the quintessence was introduced in the movie

Nice! Weirdly enough, Starscream was the queued video on the autoplay for me!

So you’re saying he got off-lined by a cosmically powered Starscream?

It’s now canon, there is a time line where a cosmically powerful starscream has off-lined everyone but himself

@@Nagatem He actually did technically offline himself he overloaded on his own energy and died.

Spook, i know, that’s why i said everyone but himself

OMG This is the best comment on this page XD XD

The only way you could get more accurate is if Bludgeon starts to do a monologue about how chaos is supreme, and that he will use science to unleash a stormbringer to pass judgement on those who dain attempt to stop the inevitable expansion of death. A Monologue that last at least two comic pages, yes this has happened before, and yes, it was great, just like your comment. :)

Absurdly Awesome’s stop motion series is legendary

Straxus: (under his breathe) Your Stupid!! Bludgeon: What did You SAY!?! Straxus: I said Your right! 😅 Me: 🤭

Springer will still have better things to do than die tonight.

I'd make his motto:"Merciful is another word for suicidal." Because, to him, demonstrating ruth would be tantamount to showing weakness. Can't be a brutally effective ruler then, nope, nope, nope.

Guess Chris didn't Scrounge hard enough.

Don't be mean. I found his personality quite ... _melting._

Yeah was gonna say. I assumed that was the story he was most remembered for.

I think it’s just that nobody would expect that from such a loose cannon.

Shame they couldn’t wheel him in to any of the animated series.

Reminds me of the Cobra Decepticon logo tbh.

Joker's Vault yes.....

Basically Starscream with more patience. Straxus is one of my old favourites, showing the kind of menace Starscream could be if he had an iota of self-control.

@@AnomalyINC Yeah, got a point there

@@AnomalyINC more patience for plotting, less patience with other people.

I have know about Straxus for a long time and have never really thought about him in this way, but it does make some sense. Just replace Starscream's fear and cowardice, with anger and cruelty. Personally I see him as a little bit of a mix between Shockwave and Bludgeon. Straxus (especially the one in the E-Hobby manga that is only a head) is very intelligent despite his brutish look, similar to Bludgeon. Unlike Bludgeon however he does not care for science that relates to the power of Multiversal Singularities, and other powerful beings, whom Bludgeon has worshipped, and betrayed the Decepticons to do so. He is also like Shockwave because he only has one type of emotion, rage, everything else is ice cold. While Shockwave does not have any emotions, post shadowplay anyway, he has simulated the emotion of rage, which allowed him to beat the Dinobots, and Scorponok.

Feel like IDW should've made him an Energon miner turned Decepticon because, y'know, pickaxe.

It my first time I heard about him, too.

Wait until you here about sg straxus

Then you’re not really a true fan, just a pedestrian fan brought up on the inferior TV series. The UK comic series from the 80’s were definitely better than the US series. Dream wave and IDW are series you need to read as well

I’ve some old dream wave comics and collected the IDW series until completion. All Hail Megatron was superb. And fuck you to decide who’s a true fan of something.

I’ve only heard of him cause of earth wars. I thought he was some random con until this video. But don’t we all see that for all bots and cons sometimes

Speaking of one-and-done / high-and-die. It might be a cool idea to have a basics video covering every character that shows up for a few panels and dies. Not including any who survive, or any who become popular of course. R.I.P. Hopper

Probably one of my favourite stories from the original G1 US comics. Darker and grittier than usual it felt more like a UK storyline.

Same here, I grew up with the Titan Books reprint book that contained those two issues!

About that.

If he does appear in a TV show, I hope it is the Netflix series, Straxus has one of those personalities that is not exactly kid friendly.

Same here. G1 fan since the cartoon and masterpiece collector and have heard about him but's that about it.

Bumblebee. Never Goldbug

@@markevans150 Personally I prefer Goldbug over Bumblebee. Bumblebee never really did anything useful, until (because he was the kid friendly character) he started to get stupidly overpowered cough The Last Knight cough. I like Goldbug because he is actually maturing as a character, Bumblebee used to try to work really hard to impress others, but that just made him get into more trouble. Goldbug accepted who he was. I will admit though that when Goldbug became Bumblebee again, but as a Pretender, Bumblebee grew even more as a character, Goldbug started to be a bit overconfident and he started acting more rebellious, so another improvement to his character was necessary. This would not have been possible without him being Goldbug though, which is why I prefer Goldbug, overall compared to Bee. Plus I kinda like the faceplate.

@GrandConvoy no he did about starscream , skywarp and slipstream

The uploader does not entertain any idea of non Patreon requests. If you are a Patron, then he will likely do it. Arcee is fairly popular, so she might have been requested already by other Patreon members.

alanguages You must have missed all the episodes that start with a variation “by popular demand”

It actually wasn't! Check out his instructions! www.unicron.com/tfitem/itemimage_view.php?mode=instructions&itemID=1696
