Transformers is a media franchise produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy. Initially a line of transforming toys rebranded from Takara's Diaclone and Microman toylines,[1] the franchise began in 1984 with the Transformers toy line, and centers on factions of self-configuring modular extraterrestrial robotic lifeforms (often the Autobots and the Decepticons) in an endless civil war for dominance or eventual peace. In its history, the Transformers robot superhero franchise has expanded to encompass comic books, animation, video games and films.

MORE TRANSFORMERS STORIES ROB!!Transformers first started off in Marvel Comics

[@theHedgex1]

Let's get him to do Last Stand of the Wreckers

[@omegahtv6779]

theHedgex1 Great idea!

[@theHedgex1]

Yes this all of this plus if Rob thinks this story is cool he should really do the last stand of the wreckers. Let's just avoid the beast within comic. Let's pretend that never happened.

[@TheProdigyPilot]

Still waiting for part 2

[@anirudhkaimal5127]

Wait, transformers is from Marvel!? Wth!!!!?

[@rustybuckets2143]

YES! ROB IS COVERING TRANSFORMERS!

9:19, ASTRO TRAIN AT YOUR SERVICE, your funeral service

[@BanksyMane]

Yay, a giant purple train has come to our rescue! OH GOD NO, it's a giant robot and it's murdering everybody!!

[@Flynn01979]

As a 80's kid, I can tell you Starscream has always been one of my favorite characters from Transformers.

[@tallaaron1115]

Honestly you have hit on a part of the groups of people that love this and comics in general. This inspires me to push others to watch your show posts even more then I normally was and that says a lot. This is an awesome story and comic. My hope is that you learn to love the transformers as much as we do. DWI made AWESOME transformers comics, far beyond what they started out to be.

[@soumahsekou3626]

A guy called ChrisMcFeely has a video "the basics transformers comics" he explains where to start

[@thepoeticbutcher3370]

Comics drawer .....thanks; gotta check that out.

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Happy to see you covering IDW Transformers! The conversation between Megatron and Starscream you showed a glimpse of at 10:33 is really important! Megatron explains what it means to be a Decepticon and why he keeps Starscream around. Hope you come back to it later.

[@EC-ed1zg]

Your genuine enthusiasm as a budding transformers fan is refreshing.

[@denniscleary7580]

I love that your doing Transformers, it’s like your covering my whole childhood 😁👍. Keep up the good work Rob

[@thephilosopher7173]

G1? I grew up just when Beast Wars was taking over....MAN Beast Wars is by far (imo) the best Transformer's Story...too bad it doensn't have a comic for Rob to Explain.

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

Dennis Cleary I love it, even though I'm 15, Transformers is a huge part of my childhood. Transformers Prime is the best show with the best storylines

[@GRPABT1]

Nothing beats the originals. You youngens just don't know.

[@The_Mimewar]

Bobbito Chicon Robotech would be suuuuuch an argument. You’d have the Macross people always yelling at the Robotech people and vice versa

[@TonyB89]

ThePhilosopher there is Beast Wars: The Gathering and The Ascending, but I don't think they are as great as the G1 stuff.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron are great video game introductions to the Transformers and in my opinion the best versions of them

[@S3xyDante]

Transformers is the best thing, coming out of DC Rebirth right now.

[@Askewshelf]

LoL

[@whatduexpect4585]

Thank you sir. Your a hero

[@Londonsabers]

S3xyDante Haha stale but sweet, like year old peppermints. 😂😂😂

[@decypherthekhaos9044]

I'm learning about Transformers as well Rob I watched it as a kid but I'm watching (some cases rewatching) the entire franchise from 1980s to Transformers: Prime. I'm glad you're covering the the comics saves me a lotta time.

[@alstarspass]

"It is a train...IT IS THE PAIN TRAIN!!"😂

[@ZenRyoku]

All hail Megatron...💯🤘 ...repping DECEPTICONS since the 80's

[@comicjaidein1201]

Rob, I've would start on Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye. That series is amazing.

[@ReallyTwistedHumor]

Autobot Megatron, literally everything involving Whirl and the Decepticon Justice Division. What more could a fan want.

[@Rakatan384]

But he has to do Last Stand of the Wreckers and Chaos Theory before that.

[@comicjaidein1201]

Rakatan 384 right. Right. Right.

[@isaiahburns9140]

Rob, thank you so much. I've been requesting on all of your livestreams for some Transformers comics reviews, nice to see

[@Brandongriffithmakesart]

Love the video dude. It's awesome that you're enjoying it I felt the same excitement to when I read last stand and the wrekers and windblade these are well written stories that should be getting more of the spotlight than the live action movies lol

[@Brandongriffithmakesart]

Last stand of the wrekers my bad

[@peterhagan8155]

These were some of the best comics. Keep this going the stories keep getting better.

[@grayj7441]

Megatron- Origin. this is what the movies should be....

[@JeffreyLong]

Yess! More Transformers, please! I was looking just over the weekend actually to see if anyone has covered all the IDW arcs and saw a huge lacking of IDW Transformers stuff. Many started but then haven’t updated in years.

[@popishigh3334]

PLEASE KEEP COVERING TRANSFORMERS

[@TheProdigyPilot]

Waiting for part 2 still

It's not that the story is soo good, your way of telling it is priceless

[@LevityLeviathan]

"Ravage is never going to be an Autobot" *Coughs in More than meets the eye/Lost light*

[@dannytarver4533]

It's so amazing seeing you act like I did when I was 11,at the original Generation One 3part story premiered in 1983-84. Boy Rob you miss out on the coolest stuff 😎

[@BanksyMane]

OMG ROB YES!!! The IDW Transformers comics are sooo good (the Dreamwave comics too) and I'm so pumped that you're gonna be covering some of them! There's, honestly, soo many good stories within the realm of those comics. IDW's More Than Meets The Eye (MTMTE), is hands down the best comic of the bunch. It may just be the best ongoing Transformer comic ever IMO.

[@TheEyez187]

All Hail Megatron is epic!! The use of decimation, doesn't quite cut it. Decimation means destruction of a 1/10, a tenth!

[@tdtellem]

So many hardcore fans HATED this story. So it's refreshing to see someone who isn't a big fan, come in on this story and love it. That's so refreshing. 🙂🙂🙂

[@rashadmcduffie6582]

Rob your excitement throughout the video is priceless. Please give us some more Transformers stories, especially the IDW comic storylines.

[@גילברלב-צ2מ]

Yessss. Pls do "last stand of the wreckers"

[@SynapticWyrm]

OH GOD YES

[@NelCelestine]

LSotW is SOOOO GOOD!

[@kwoloon13]

that's good stuff

[@BanksyMane]

Yup, that's 1 of the best stories from the IDW run! Hopefully, he does do a video on it 1 day!

[@datusi4441]

גיל ברלב yess

[@JustinEdwards-ge1cw]

Hay Rob, 2 things. Frenzy is a cassette tape that is played by Soundwave (a transformer who became a boom box). He actually came with several cassette transformers - including a robot named rumble who could smash the ground, - buzz who transformed into a vulture (as you can see at the 8:30 mark), and a cassette that transformed into a wolf. The other thing is the train rampaging at the 9 min mark is trip-ta-con (not sure of spelling), who was the first transformer to change into 3 thing, a robot, a train, and a space shuttle.

[@RANZER55]

You really need to last stand of the wreckers Rob!!!

[@jaysilverhood1264]

oh hes gonna love Overlord

[@MajinBuu91]

They are all so amazing, idw do a goid job

[@BanksyMane]

Yup, LSotW is definitely 1 of the best stories from the IDW run. So good!

[@tooglianprimus15]

Just wait till he finds out about Shockwave. That dude is the goat. He defeated all 5 dinobots at once

[@RANZER55]

Tooglian Primus duuuude shockwave is a beast!! Both mentally and physically

[@andyherrera2133]

Robots in Diguise and More than Meets the Eye are great places to start. They are great jumping on points for new readers.

[@Naeem_El]

I love the transformers and Starscream is my favorite

[@Gigas0101]

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! ALL HAIL ROB! ALL HAIL ROB! ALL HAIL ROB! For some quick-and-easy vids I'd recommend the '-ations', starting with Infiltration.

[@5TailFox]

The name of the Decepticon in the tunnel, is Astro-Train.

[@TheRicardo1280]

More Transformers in between Marvel and DC!!! Keep up the good work Rob!!!

[@thenamelessone3471]

Watch the original animated transformers movie. 👌👌👌

[@kakashifuijin]

rob I dont know if somehow you are going to read this but I LOVE the way you narrate the events, its hilarious sometimes and some other times full of emotions, you lad introduced me to dc and now I love DC ( I was a marvel guy)

[@natedagreat19]

I love how excited and enthusiastic Rob gets when he talks about stuff. It’s infectious lol.

[@AresLau]

One of the best, Generation one is always where you should start with Transformer.

[@rustyslimchim]

You should go over the transformers shattered glass series.

[@dawuandavis5036]

rustyslimchim yeah optimus is at his all time best in his story. Was a better megatron than megatron himself

[@kwoloon13]

Yes

[@DarthPrime52]

Shattered Glass is kinda hard to do since it was all convention/club stuff and most of it is downloadable text stories on the club site there's very little actual Shattered Glass comic material. Also the SG comic stuff also relies on Fun Publications multiverse spanning storyline probably just easier focusing on IDW's stuff for right now anyway.

[@toddfrench600]

NOOOOOOO!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALMIGHTY, DON'T LEAVE US HANGING!!! Please do part 2.

So glad you enjoyed it. If you are looking for more Transformers stories, I would recommend Last Stand of the Wreckers and the More than Meets the Eye series!

[@brandoncovert6182]

I love your excitement about the transformers. I have been a life long fan of the transformers and I hope you do more transformers videos.

Oh you picked on HELL of a story to do Rob. This one if one of my faves. I hope you continue this one because if you think what he did to the humans was wicked.. wait till you see what he did to the Autobots.... TO PRIME!! Oh MAN!!

[@teverlysthoughts823]

Never missing the sexy voice

if rob tells you how good a transformers comic is? then you know its good

[@wyattbraunstein1658]

Mr. Mytzlpitilik (pardon my spelling) vs Bat Mite

[@thepoeticbutcher3370]

Wyatt Braunstein .....that would be too good.

[@reculture]

YES! Good choice Rob my dude! Glad you chose Transformers which im fan from since I learned to talk/walk. All hail Starscream!

[@dol_mel7487]

1:48 did you really just bring up char lol Also try megatron origin mini-series, more than meets the eye, any drift mini-series, maxium dinobots, last stand of the wreckers, and etc it's fantastic

[@kR-qj7rw]

2:02 the decepticons aerial cons are usually reffered as seekers, classic line up is skywarp, thundercracker and Starscream FYI

[@s.m.c2764]

Start with idw Megatron origins

[@bigempty]

XxSpacemonkey97 best story arc ever.

[@kwoloon13]

megatron as in megaton

Dude please do more of these xD I miss mass destruction. Lol “Then megaton goes and takes out a city block” lol

[@jkm7983]

The 17 dislikes are starscream's multiple profiles

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

We NEED more Transformers videos Rob

[@Letsgetdusty]

A good series to go to would be transformers more than meets the eye by James Robert is definitely a good place to start if you know even the most basic of transformers lore

[@scottrennie6099]

Energize Production how are you gonna tell rob who hasn’t read or even know the transformers story to start at more than meets the eye? That’s like more than halfway through the story like going to watch a movie from half way through lol More than meets the eye starts after this

[@Letsgetdusty]

Scott Rennie dang, u right. Last stand of the wreckers is a good stand alone story, or at least a good prelude to mtmte

[@jakesteel3020]

Doooooood about TIME you did something transformers related, it is good. I remember asking your to cover some transformer stuff a while back when you still had that old intro. you never did, but then I asked Comicstorian and one showed up the very next week.

[@Jeremiahtroubador]

Rob look I don't have to finish the video to know its gonna be good. At this point you could pick a comic about human feces and it would sell lol. Only because its you.

[@Hibernial]

“MAN, let me tell’ya something man!... Feces, man - it’s a whole new world man!”

If you're looking for Feces Man he is in the Wanted comic book.

Astrotrain was one of my favorite newbies in season 2 of G1. :) But still distant second to Soundwave as my favorite Decepticon. :)

[@AltFactuals]

“The train is here to save us, yeah...the pain train!!”

[@JustazagZ]

Astro Train is getting a surprising amount of attention in this. That's surprising since I rarely ever see him get any.

[@ash24042]

Keep doing Transformers, please. The current IDW is really good.

[@barryscott9590]

I think the old 90's cartoon is a good place to *roll* through the basics.

[@GabrielSlayer88]

Really glad to see some Transformers on this channel like many fans. My recommendations would be to start with, The Transformers IDW Collection Volume 1, it covers multiple Tformers story lines from the beginning more or less of the IDW series. Probably the easiest and most all encompassing you could go for in my opinion. Thanks for the video sir, keep them coming!

[@datusi4441]

GabrielSlayer88 i know right i didnt know other people love transformer as much as i do

[@GabrielSlayer88]

It's great to see more videos on the matter for sure. I mean the IDW series is just brilliant in my opinion, really expands/re-writes/and explores to great depths the characters and universe. I love it! Also Beerus rocks! ;)

[@cdogsan]

I'm a 48yo comic fan. I've been collecting since I was 7 years old, with my father's old collection. I really enjoy your show and dig your take on the comic industry as a whole. Your show is on point and you attention to detail and research shows. That being said, I would love to have you cover Marvel's Alien Legion. It was one of the best publications of its time and 'oft overlooked. Thank you if you even consider it double thank you if you decide to cover it. If you do I could toss you a few other old school classics. 😆

[@denniscleary7580]

Megatron is my Favorite next to Starscream

Why do the black characters look dark green?

[@ButterNinja117]

That train decepticon is named Astrotrain and can turn into a space shuttle on top of his train form

[@Kekkersboy]

I reccomend the Megatron Origins comics. Gives you insight for why the Decepticons are doing what they're doing.

[@theHedgex1]

at least what they started out doing

[@tobelikegodnow]

Great energy Rob you will be legend. Just gotta say Robots can't kill as many people as humanly possible.

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

Rob can you do more Hickman stuff?

[@jnix9385]

Agree

[@zachdaigs4803]

if rob explained east of west id be siked. Its one of my favorite comics but it can get very confusing at points, it would be great to hear how he describes it

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

Zach Daigs what is east of west?

[@zachdaigs4803]

cosgrove360 is a comic by written by Hickman, from image comics. Dude it's such a good comic if you stick with it. So many crazy moments and at this point I'm so excited for every issue

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

Zach Daigs ah ok. I love his marvel work so I’d probably enjoy it. I wish he didn’t leave marvel :(

[@saturncrush]

Yes!!!! I have been waiting on this! The transformers comics have been on the ones for a minute. High quality stuff, with new engaging content, creative new intergarted lore, and dope character evolutions and story arcs. It takes the toy driven original and turns it on its head. Rob: The stories from Dreamwave comics are dope. But IDW expanded the concept even further but explaining how they reproduce, jow are there female transformers, how can transformers be related (brothers), humanizing the Deceptions. And basically showing the levels of grey of war between the soilders, commanders, and politicians involved. On a side note: Luthor Strode comics are a beast for alternative to DC and Marvel super heroes. Imagine Fist of the North Star meets Dexter! Bong!!

[@thecollector75]

I think there are better transformers books you could have looked at..... target : 2006 for instance?

[@Kekkersboy]

As much as I love the UK comics Something like this will help get people into reading the current stuff.

[@jakubwdowinski1072]

i think that better for a beginner is The War With In

[@Kekkersboy]

The problem with The War Within is that the comic was unfinished and doesn't have a proper conclusion.

[@thecollector75]

Kekkersboy personally.... I the the Bob budyanski stuff from the first 12 issues of the marvel us comic is some of the best stuff there ever was .... but target : 2006 hooked me as a kid because the writer didn't treat us as children and so aimed the writing at a higher audience and so forth it out sold 2000ad such was for young adults . Not only that but it's still one of the best tf stories ever.... followed by time wars just for it's sheer body count and then the US run from matrix quest onwards.... thunderwing being possessed by the matrix was another classic

[@Kekkersboy]

Everything you tell me about what you like makes me more adamant that you'd love the IDW books. I hope that you do try and give it a shot sometime down the road.

[@shinjikazama6441]

Finally Megatron and the decepticons got thier first victory not like how they always get robbed of it like the cartoon

[@ReallyTwistedHumor]

I started with the "More Than Meets the Eye" story, it picks up after the war has ended. IDW comics are amazingly well written and illustrated.

If you really want to see something AWESOME see Transformers the Movie, Leonard Nimoy, and Orson Welles do the voices of two of the characters. Totally 80's at its best. I use to watch the show when I was kid, and when this movie came out It blew my mind! This was (in my mind) and still is the "best" Transforms Movie of all time. With that said forget the my hype and check it out this Animated Classic.

"...And kill as many humans as humanly possible..." Referring to the very literally in-human killer robots from outer space. Thinking that their capabilities far exceeds that of a normal human being. Now, I am absolutely positive that any one if not all of your colleagues have already called you out on this, and I just wanted you to know that I'm with them laughing at you, too.
