UK 80s schoolboys watching the animated G1 series be like "Hang about, wotzis then? Who's that bloke with the cannon-arm? And why is Soundwave subordinate to him? Isn't he supposed to be the leader?"

I was one of those kids but I was never confused as I watched the beginning of the first season before I saw any toy adverts. Thankfully Hasbro decided marketing a toy hand gun wasn't that bad in the end and got with the actual plot. Thanks for watching!

My parents wouldn't stretch to the £18 for Optimus,Megatron.But I was allowed soundwave which I guess would be £12.Everyone wanted Megatron and I knew someone whose father got hold of shockwave in Japan...arguably THE must have.

7:20 Describing Menasor as the Ultimate Decepticon weapon isn't really true. Due to the fact the four mini robots both fear and loathe their leader Motormaster, the combined form is a mess of uncontrollable impulses

@baination7825 ай бұрын
I know! I guess the UK was not sure if they were okay with Megatron being a gun so they just made the whole Soundwave being the leader thing up to sell a few toys until they had made up their minds about marketing a kind of realistic looking hand gun to kids. Thanks for watching!

@@supahcomix When the line first came to the UK the Advertisers were rushing to get the line out onto the market so they made a lot of mistakes until they corrected things in line with the US mythos Hasbro US had created.

Megatron was never released in the UK because of his gun mode, which was controversial for UK toy laws. 😔 That's why Soundwave was advertised as the "leader of the Decepticons".
