TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on the HORRORCONS 

Anyone else think their beast altmodes were chosen as an homage to Godzilla and King Kong? If that's common knowledge, I'm only just now realizing it. 😅

"Snapdragon mauled Daniel Witwicky" Ah, i see why these guys are fan-favourites

They were supposed to be Godzilla and King Kong. Hence: HORROR cons. As Godzilla and Kong were both originally marketed as horror films.

Mentioning that they don't really bathe makes me want a Basics on Transformers Hygiene/Self Care

At this point they're kinda decepticon shock troops that you just see in one scene and never see again. Which sucks because I like Apeface's design, wish he got more time as a character.

Japanese headmaster concept makes so much more sense. The heads having the conscience instead of two aliens sitting on top of each other

"Horrorcons" what a great name

I like that little Headmasters scene where Galvatron arm-hugs the Horrorcons like they're best buddies.

I remember as a kid being genuinely surprised and confused by the idea that apeface had a robot form. Like to me he was an ape that could turn into a plane

Surprised there's not a version where they combine with each other yet.

I actually thought that Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, and Skullcrusher were a part of the Horrocons. Great video, and perfect for Halloween.

The Legacy of Monke and Lizard lives on.

I didn't have many transformers as a kid, but I did get Apeface for Christmas one year. It easily became my favorite and I was very happy a couple years ago to buy the updated version.

I wonder if there were ever any plans for more Horrorcons that never made it into production.

While it was odd that TR didn't release Snapdragon, it's fitting that him and Apeface get full figure release in WFC even if there was bith of year gap between them. It would be interesting match if someone would force Apeface and Snapdragon fight each other in GvK style fight.

Love the idea of Triple Changers with robot, vehicle and beast mode. For next year's Halloween the video could be about the Monsterbots, their Autobot counterparts.

WFC Snapdragon is one of my favorite transformer toys, I love it to bits and Im glad you made a video about the horrorcons

And with the kingdom toyline their releasing a mew night prowler based off cheetor so it's good to see that unreleased figure getting a little love nowadays

Ooh, i had these two when i was a kid as toy, didn't know their backstory until today. Thanks lots for the video and bringing back nostalgic memories =)!

Nice Godzilla VS Kong reference at the end card! It was HORRIFYINGLY accurate and well placed!

So, basically, they're robot/jet versions of King Kong and Godzilla?

I’d love to see the horrorcons fight the monsterbots

Snapdragon was one of my favorite toys growing up because my grandfather gave him to me. I still have all the pieces and immediately preordered his Earthrise version as soon as it was available.

You didn't mention that they are both particularly powerful, but limited by their weak personalities.

They definitely deserve much more attention as they are very overlooked in Transformers media. Would've been interesting to see a Grimlock vs Snapdragon battle tho

I still have my original G1 Apeface. He was one of my favorite toys as a kid. Great video, cheers!!

It would make sense if Shackwave scanned Optimus Primal and Grimlock's beast modes, an then created the Horrorcons to counter them.

Didn't know Snapdragon had been intended as a merc in Earthrise. Which is funny as I had him displayed as one under the command of Double Dealer.

Nice video, I would love an episode on another obscure G1 character, Devcon

Amazing episode as usual! Also, Happy Halloween in advance everyone!

"Lizard vs Monkey" Me: Godzilla vs Kong vibes.

Love the season 3 weirdo characters, would be great to see them in a future cartoon one day

Although figures like Snap Dragon, Crossfire and Scorpinoc weren't the most advanced toys to have transforming capabilities they were some of the first toys I had to have good articulation. Basically meaning that their arms and legs weren't stuck to their bodies. It was a step forward in possibility for sure.

I recently found both of them at Ollie's for half price. They look good together on the shelf.

both are my favorite. The difference is, for me, at least, was my brother had snapdragon and I had apeface.

I love this dark duo and spent decades wanting them. Now having the g1 and siege versions (also third party ones) I feel quite happy.

I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you!

I’ve been ill in bed the last few days and your channel it only got me through BUT has renewed my interest in Transformers. In fact I think you’ve made me more of a fan than ever

Thanks for the video it makes my G1 horrorcons more awesome thanks again.

Perfect Halloween subject!

This really makes me wonder how I'm gonna incorporate these guys into my own Transformers stories.

Great video. Love learning about characters I don’t know about.

These guys were always cool to me, and I've always wanted to see a similar Autobot duo made.

I do wish we got more horrorcons. Maybe a bat and a wolf.

Congratulations on 160K 🥳🥳🥳

Great idea! Nice work!

I knew nothing of their story but Lizard v Monkey hit enough of a hype in Godzilla v Kong that I really wanted these. Plums they are cool toys!

Love the color scheme! Great Stuff!

Definitely 2 of my favorite characters from the Headmasters series. The designs and color schemes were perfect decepticons imo.

Great video as always

People who dont care about their hygiene : Am I a -monster- horrorcon?

Happy Halloween to you chris

Great vid man, it was nice to hear these guys personalities Can you do basics on trailbreaker

2 of my fav Cons in general :) well done Chris

Love your channel man keep up the good work

These were the biggest and best transformers my brother and I had as kids. We got them for Christmas and I got Apeface, since then he has been the core of my Transformers focus. As I kept rediscovering the show I would update my head stories. Now I have this elaborate idea that they were actually Micromasters who gave up their own vehicle forms to become Headmaster. They use trnastectors and the Horrorcons were actually made to be a countermeasure to the Dinobots. But later they use the recovered Nemesis to fly the galaxy and get energon from the other plants we saw in season 2. They also use that extended time away to build their own base in secret using schematic they stole from Grapple and Hoist. Because of my brother and the stories we made together I always see these two as something of brothers, rare decepticons that won't betray each other. We also imagined that each was also an honorary member of a combiner team. Apeface with the Predacons and Snapdragon with the Terrorcons. More just so we could pretend to be Predaking and Abominus taking orders from our guys.

I had Apeface although I never really remembered the name even though he appears in the final episodes of the cartoon along with Snapdragon whose name I do remember from that despite not having that toy. One of my favourites old Apeface though. Didn't have too many Headmasters but he was one of them. Good times. Cool choice for the season.

This has to be the most horrific episode of "The Basics."

The idea behind them reminds me of a joke line about The Shredder from a review of the original tmnt cartoon, when talking about the idea of creating Bebop and Rocksteady- "I think I'll do it just twice, and then never again. OH, THE POSSIBILITIES!"

Been waiting a LONG time on this, apeface is my MAN and ive been bugging the comment sections on these videos for a LONG time

Christmas 1987 I got Snapdragon from my Uncle, always was one of my fav decepticons

I like the name like the Terrorcons and monsterbots the name is horror just amazing and also where you say horrorcons in start rain

Fantastic video!!!👍😃🎃

Another great episode!

Happy Halloween

Another great video 🎉🎊 Thanks 👍

Apeface & Snapdragon are two of my favorite Decepticon Headmaster Horrorcons in the Original transformers cartoon.also all I can say is Chris. Thank you for posting this video about the Decepticon Headmaster Horrorcons 👌 up the 👍 work and stay safe and stay healthy. Until next time till all are one.☺☺☺☺☺☺☺👏☺😀😊😉

Funny thing is that this was 3 hours ago and I was looking for the basics on horrorcons a few days ago😳😂

The Terrorcons, Monterbots, and Terrorcons the Halloween Trilogy of Transformers Happy Halloween

I have watched this episode twice this month and wish there was more on them because ever since the rebirth snapdragon has been my nr 1 favoriete transformers character of all time

I have always loved these guy's design.

These two bots were great had both as a kid and only found apeface in the seige lineup

I really do appreciate the fact you put in the panel of Apeface eating a banana. I find the fact that that isn't synonymous with Apeface to be a crime.

Wow their both awesome!

Since this video came out, I've seen The Headmasters. And it's kinda surprising just how little they did in the anime. They spent most of their time just being background crowd fillers or tackling the Monsterbots. I do recall one significant battle on Master's moon (I think) where they fought the Autobot Targetmasters.

Fitting in a way. Using today to talk about two Metal Faced villains. If you get it, you get it

Huh never heard of these guys but they sound awesome! I wonder if rampage from beastwars would count as a horrorcon

🌟 *I've tuned in .*

Awesome topic for Halloween.....damn toys looked frightening too..lol.

I like to think of Apeface and Snapdragon as the Kong and Godzilla of the Transformers.

I love your videos 😍😍😍😍

Keep the content coming.

I always love to revisit the g1 series The Dweller in the Depths as a child, I was very scared by the concept of characters locked up, very frightened by Trans-Organic and the Dweller himself and evo the transformation of robots into vampires

Apeface's face looks like the Decepticons symbol! Just like soundwave!

two of my faves from seige and earthrise!!

I have both WOF Apeface and Snapdragon. Good to see them in the spotlight.

I would love to see these guys toys repainted to be newer versions of BW Optimus Primal and Megatron, I think that would be so cool

Hooray!

I’m 16 minutes late but this is the earliest I’ve been

The fact i come across this on a...somewhat friday night 13 days away is spooky

Was just about to watch basics on the monsterbots

I have gotten apeface from Amazon today to add to my transformers collection.

I remember playing with Snapdragon and had no idea what his name was. Thank you.

I would of loved more autobot animal version's especially head master's, we kinda just got the usual jets, cars or choppers where as the cons got cool ape face, snap dragon and the other three head master cons.

This video reminded me to buy WFC Apeface. Already have Snapdragon :)

I had Apeface and he was one of my favourites. I even had a homemade mode of a horse.

Ah yes, Apeface. Slayride faces his next challenger...

We need one of these episodes on laserbeak!

happy halloween.

My bro used to have the original Ape Face in the 80's but he lost the head and the accessory when it came time for me to played with it! I could of bought the Titan Return version but I could only afford one (had four different ones) and I went with Overboard instead (the T Rex)! I could of also bought the Siege version aswell but I have no space in my room to displayed it and it suck being an adult (money for bill etc)!
