@@langbuddha2798he's really not, the 1st run of minis from the manufacturer were literal G1 characters that had to be changed when the license attempt failed
Damn. An officially licensed Transformers wargame is such a missed opportunity. Looks like Ben did a fantastic job with this. All I can ask is please more.
I like that ben panicked so hard at not including the 'thank you members'! bit that he didn't use the nice professional mic 2 feet to his right, he used his phone mic and so sounds like he's recording inside a bin
@tallleprechaun1318 it's not bad, just that jazz has always been played by a PoC (apart from that one troublesome time with Troy Baker) so Mark doing his voice is a tad riskey
@@tallleprechaun1318 Jazz was voiced by classic black American entertainer Scatman Crothers, bluesman, scat enthusiast (ahem) and actor. His voice was not so much stereotypical as impossible to mimic. He died after season 2 of the Transformers series, meaning that while Jazz survived into the far future of 2006, he never said a single word again.
@@beardedbear9901 What first Matrix? The movie? The magic bauble inside Optimus' Prime's chest containing the life forces of every Autobot leader and possibly the consciousness of their robot god Primus? Or the Matrix, coming to get Andrew Tate and dressed in a Romanian police uniform?
The classic Autobot squad, if I were to pick five, would be Optimus (leader dude), Ratchet (compassionate doctor dude), Jazz (Special Ops dude with the cool voice), Bumblebee (the self-insert child identification character, replete with small human child driver, Spike) and either Wheeljack (the science nerd) or Pr*ck. I mean Prowl, Prime's tactical sideman. The three Decepticons would be as played.
fun fact: there is an ACTUAL official tabletop transformers game licensed by hasbro. But its a roleplaying game, more dnd style (but obviously functionally very different to play) rather than this style of tabletop game.
HAHA somehow everything ended up being so in character for all the guys!! Unforgettable catchphrases such as 'till all are one' and 'I'm going to turn into a truck now'!! BUT SIDESWIPE THE FERRARI KILLS THE MAN
Starscream has always been my favorite Transformer. Loved him in the Michael Bay movies (as shite as they were), and when I saw the old cartoon, I loved him there, too. He's my boi.
I ran the Renegade Studios' Transformers RPG with Legends-class & Minicons as the pieces, because half the fun of a Transformers game is when you actually transform your wee guys!
We need Ben and Co to make a GURPS style generic skirmish battler. So that way we can have Sharpe's rifles fight Gandalf and Starscream. Just a real Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny
So much Members content from this one - a post game chat video, Ben vs Alex game, this full game & 2h tier list of transformers? Yes, please. Thank you Ben, Alex & Team.
Have you guys ever thought about doing a patreon and sharing your modifications for all these rulesets you do? You guys run games the way that I find fun and would love to give them a go
Sometimes you just have to: Dare, dare to believe you can survive You hold the future in your hand Dare, dare to keep all of your dreams alive It's time to take a stand And you can win, if you dare!
Fantastic stuff all round as always of course, but extra praise to audio people this time, really added so much to the atmosphere on this one! Great job all!
This was so much fun. I want a transformer tabletop game now. P.S. Devastator is 6 bots not 5. lol Scrapper (leader) - right leg Hook - upper body Bonecrusher - left arm Long Haul - lower body Mixmaster - left leg Scavenger - right arm
This was just amazing, love the bolt action and Middle earth games but this just takes the top. Really hope we get more transformers games in the future
Surprisingly smooth take on a game. Don't know what it is. I didn't watch transformers, but knew about them. Felt like I missed the point by missing the beginning, especially when someone finds reasons to bring planet sized bots in.
This reminds me of an old iOS strategy game "Transformers G1 Awakening" which I absolutely loved as a kid! Even has similar character abilities like ratchet healing and soundwave deploying allies using an energon resource.
So cool! I love transformers! My favorite decepticons were soundwave and shockwave. My favourite autobots (except optimus prime) were bumble bee and prowler. But then again there were some really cool transformers so it’s hard to not list all the others! This was a real nostalgia trip! ❤❤
Um, G1 Devastator is composed of Scrapper (Payloader, Right Leg), Hook (Crane, Head & Upper Shoulders), Mixmaster (Mixer, Left Leg), Bonecrusher (Bulldozer, Left Arm), Long Haul (Dumptruck, Torso), and Scavenger (Power Shovel, Right Arm).
