TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on the CONSTRUCTICONS 

Right? I dread the video ending.

This is the best Transformers channel. I'm sick of hearing other channels saying "In my opinion." Here are the facts with fan service to the theories but no pushing agenda.

@@benjamincoutts5864 Exactly. What I love about the channel is how he stays neutral with the different series, like the controversial live-action movies, and the less enjoyed ones like Energon. It gives his videos a more professional feel to it.

@@OverlordIX Me too. Thanks for saying I'm not alone. I'll chat to you anytime.

Agreed! I still wanna see a basics video on the Stunticons, Hot Rod(aka: Rodimus Prime), and Sideways.

I love rules of nature I wish my copy of devastation wasn't broken I loved the devastator and menasor boss fight.

I just got that game the other day. I bad at game, I died so many times in the second Devastator fight

Wheeljack : Yes! YES! Split it wide open!

DEVASTATOR HE MAYBE ONE OF GALVATRON, S EVIL DECEPTICON VILLAINS COMBINER WARS BUT THEN HE IS NO MACTH FROM INFERNOCUS WITH QUINTESSA

AND STARSCREAM HE CREATES THE GREATEST EVIL DECEPTICON TRANSFORMERS COMBINERS IS THE COMBATICONS

💪🏿💪🏿

You can tell they didn't care about prowl when the lamest construction kills you at least brawn, ratchet, and Ironside was killed by starscream and megatron

@@chrisedwards3214 Well it was a lucky shot as you can tell by the scene, but nonetheless it counts as a kill.

It seems an odd decision they made there. Would love to know why they gave Scrapper that job.

@@originaluddite if I recall Dreamwave continuity, Megatron couldn’t stand Hook’s snobbish perfectionism. Not only was he insufferably arrogant, Megatron had no patience for his need to ensure the bases they built had absolutely no flaws greater than a millimeter

Cool explanation.

There's one design element I'm not a big fan of

And chugging oil.

@@_V.Va_ the animated constructicons were always cool ever since I watched TFA.

Me too I loved them 😊

So true

I feel bad for them

And yet other times his foot alone was larger than every one around him...😁

Ikr yet in the energy tower episode from season 2 he was massive

😂😂😂 I feel you cuz apparently a robot who is the same size as them can hold a large combiner🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol 😂 now that’s a funny fit 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣👍👍👍👍

I still wonder how

I like that. Or the Constructicons that Built Megateron were their Anscestors.

@@jaykoblue172 It's MEGATRON

Yes, Megatron could have had their personality chips, or had Shockwave space bridge fax them to him. For the continuity to work, they need Earth-made bodies, free of Cybertonium, for that awesome two-parter involving the Dinobots on Cybertron.

I dig it.

I always thought of it as they didn't build Megatron, but built a new and more powerful body for him to go to war with. Rodimus just comprehended the vision in the Matrix in a manner that made the easiest sense to him.

Fano Tastic To refute your statement... Beast Wars did indeed exist.

@@TornaitSuperBird I think when @Fano says 'Non existent"... he means that Most Toys were re-colors/re-releases and BW being the only content in the 'west' it featured none of the 'Original Teams' (save guest spots by Starscream and Ravage IIRC (and the inanimate bodies on the arc)... so while they had AN Optimus and Megatron they did not have THE Optimus & Megatron thus any BW toy with a Familiar name was a distinct character... bordering on the '00's 'Identity Theft'

Holy shit you're right

No identity theft they were there own characters except grimlock be he was the same.

@@TJ52359 Bingo. This guy gets it.

Destructicons: better at constructing things than actual destruction

I don't know... I've seen the Mythbusters give the Constructicons a run for their money in the destruction game. Like the time they vaporized a cement truck. 😀

@@BennyLlama39 Mixmaster! Noooooo! (but seriously, favorite explosion in the show)

Shouldn't they be called the Destructicons.

@@marcorizo1387 TBH, I would always get confused and call them Destructicons! It's a more menacing name anyway.

Enemy scrotum

"I am directly below... the enemy's scrotum."

yes, i hate that joke

@@orhandalegendyeah man It’s not even funny

The enemy....

Me too and i am sad there are no toys of them. It seems there werent even aney planed and released in later Lines. Oh well at least i have Landmine from Cybertron. So i can atleast pretend to have a Constructicon...our would he be a Constructobot?

Hook could have been a fishermen Scavenger an archeologist

But what really grinds my gears is Animated not getting a 4th and 5th Season.

@@emeraldphoenix5868 Hell yeah. I mean for Primus Sake...We would have gotten a Shatterd Glass Episode. I woumd have loved seeing the Heoric Megatron interact with Optimus and his Team. Also Jazz and Ironhide would have played bigger roles. I am all for that. We also know Sentinel was SUPER jalous of Optimus and i bet he was afraid that he would loose his Posision as Magnus and it would go over to Optimus. So i BET with you he would have let Megatron Escape and somhow blamed Optimus for it. Somthing like...ordering Optimus to escordt Megatron to Prison and secretley give Megatron the Keys to his Cell.

@@neptuneplaneptune3367 But I wish it would happen.

Devastator: "Prepare for Extermination!"

Bonecrusher

Yeah that quote is amazingly and terrifying​ly said in his booming voice.@@nine_tails137

S C R O T U M

Sam's happy time :P

That is why you don't let Micheal Bay touch a product for kids.

That might’ve been the actual worst.

Cheesey joke, but you are correct!!!!

@@vxrdrummer Thank you. :D

It's devastating? We see what you did there😄

@@customfantasyhotwheels Thank you. 😁

👏👏👏

Considering the original artist passed away last year, I'm not it'll even happen anytime soon, but then again who knows.

​@@SWDude2710there are multiple chracter sheet he left about the chracters. Derrick was the art director. They just need to mimic his work. Like how Ben10 fans doing like last 10 year.

@@Vilgax00 yes, you do make a good point.

Fine...

Hell’s yea I had way more Decpticons than autobots the bad guys were always way cooler except vintage megatron was way fragile but was a cool gun it screamed the 80s

And also everyone's wallets!

*constructicons merge* Devastator: prepare to be sold!

idk dinobots in that last TF movie look fucking bad ass 😅 grimlovk any how, to bad they never combined

There are 35 Members… I just put them all on one document

That's a big Combiner.

Where prowl

@@zanelambert1202 prowl is an Autobot

@@GiantessLover427 prowl could combine into devestator (Idw) if scoops a constructacon, prowl is to

Bring the constructicons back in cyberverse or Mixmaster and scavenger

Would you happen to know what series and issues that occurred?

@@metalliccheese2967 Robots in disguise. Idk which issue.

@@returnedtomonkey8886 thank you

One of my favorite moments in the comics ever

karloverg loved it. I gotta watch that scene now.

The music changed: they meant business.

I really wish Combiner Wars Devastator had electronics in his gun, that allowed gun sounds, and catch phrases from the show.

Transform, phase1! Transform, phase2!

That side kick to Grimlock in mid air and the Dinbot rumble in the movie was also fucking amazing! And bulldozing Omega Supreme into the Robosmasher and led to Omega being knocked out was also great.

Hahaha same!

Me turning on my phone at 7 am. Me: sees this was released at 3 am. Also me: immediately clicks the video

theres basically two ways that combiners function, either all the members are basically a hivemind (devestator) or it just kinda seems like one main leader largely takes the league (technically they'd say differently but come on, victorion is just pyra magna) this is why bruticus struggles cause while they have AMAZING synergy between members they are also just 5 friends who were never really meant to combine and thus kinda suck at it (which most friend groups would tbh)

I like the movie line more "Prepare for Extermination!"

*"LEFT CHEEK"*

You should see what the urban dictionary says about

Omega Supreme was knocked out by Devastator and nearly killed by him as well. They did Devs wrong in many situations because he was stronger and more powerful than almost all tfs including Guradians.

Congratulations, kid. You made it.

Bob

I got to be honest, him turning out to be an Autobot double agent genuinely took me by surprise when I watched Armada for the first time. I mean not only did they give him the same name as one of the original Constructicons, they used the name of the one who actually managed kill an Autobot, Prowl, in the 1986 film. Wait a second....Prowl was killed by a Constructicon in the movie, and the IDW Constructicons wanted to work for Prowl. Transformers truly is a funny franchise, isn't it?

@@Werezilla Even funnier in Japan, where his name was literally "Devastar" (the Japanese name of Devastator). In fact, that's the reason the Devastator homage in Energon ended up being named Constructicon Maximus.

@@misterbadguy7325 That was just the Takara version. They still could of called him Devastator Maximus in Energon.

They actually had art for brutictus in rid even though they said they never intended to put him in.

@@greendecepticon6148 good thing they didn't ruin them...

@@thesymbiotenation.4552 one thing I didn't like about rid is that it is implied that half of villains arnt even true decepticons but random bad guys the decepticon symbol slapped on them.

@@greendecepticon6148 yeah, we mean, they could have brought back cons from either Prime or the Cybertron games, like Barricade, The Combaticons, Shockwave, or even bring back both Arcee and Airachnid for a final battle between them!

@@thesymbiotenation.4552 They seem to have avoided previous aligned characters that weren't in prime on purpose from some reason.

?

Megatron. Why do you call on the constructicons?

Of devastator?

well, they are construction vehicles, which are usually known for being large compared to regular cars

It works the same way Megatron transforms into a gun and sound wave into a cassette player, mass-shifting

if i had to guess it's their "Basic construction Vehicle' form that actually made them so popular... I imagine more than one exasperated mother saw the to Dump Truck, then saw the Giant Metal Tonka Dump truck two shelves over and went with the smaller (cheaper?) one... only to realize once she got it home that he had 5 friends Little Billy would demand to complete the set... - being the first combiner no doubt added to the cool factor as a kid, but the want/need for the whole set, whether they actually got it or not, no doubt affects the nostalgia/love of the toys - as a kid I got the 'core' of the Protectabots and the Seacons at assorted Holidays and always Wanted either/both complete sets... Luckily (in Hind sight) my parents did NOT oblige as an adult 'collector' I now recognize how much a Modern Combiner Set costs (I have 4), i couldn't imagine what the old (weaker) toys would have set back 80's parents for my part I always saw Transformers toys as 3 toys in one... It's a Character... I'm sure more than a few imaginations kicked in and saw He-Man and Optimus team up (or fight) It's a Vehicle... Race car, tank, Back Hoe, if you never transform the toy it still functions along side your Hot Wheels (even if out of scale) It's a Puzzle... the act of switching modes is it's own 'play style' even if you've done so a Million times (of my above cited collection, about every 3 months or so I 'rotate' their forms... so I have two in Combined form in a 'battle pose'... one team in robot mode supporting their ally and the 4th team in Vehicle mode coming to Join the battle

*withstands

@@JohnLeeDoes Beast Wars Uprising, The Inexorable March.

Devastator was my favorite combiner - but as a kid it hurt my heart to see him get his ass kicked by Bruticus and I think he got beat up by Menasor also. I remember - I wanted my parents to buy all the constructicons - but they could not afford them - $40 was a lot of money to spend on toys back in the 80s. lol
