[@Nolongerhereanymore]

It was good,

[@nadiagonzalez6176]

I want see theron lore in gears of war

[@alio6051]

I think that the savage Locusts truly hated the humans more than the locusts under the control of the Queen. I mean the humans flooded the hollows and left them without a home so they must have shown more brutality towards the humans for what they did to them. It explains why we see certain savage locusts like the Savage Grenadier became more aggressive towards the humans i.e. that scene where a savage grenadier rips off the arm of a Cog soldier and beats him with it.

[@nickwhite6249]

I’ve no sympathy for the grubs

[@nvtbfoudagn]

Never realized how high ranked the Theron's were 😮

[@nvtbfoudagn]

There was so much I learned about the Locust from this video that makes me wonder why they haven't fleshed out the Swarm in a similar fashion. 🤔

[@KingAbzTV]

Exactly! & it’s why the locust will always be goated!!

[@nvtbfoudagn]

@@KingAbzTV FAX

[@Lythronax98]

@@KingAbzTV I don’t think Theron is a “rank” really, because there’s still ranks within the therons. Proof of this is in the Rise of Raam comics, where Raam says this to a theron “Keep it respectable Vurl. I know how the Theron speak of me. I still have brothers in your ranks” also the theron that Raam was talking to had a sentinel helmet, which means that regular therons are lower in rank that Vurl. So not all therons are higher ranking than drones, for example Jermad was also a Vurl but then got promoted to a Krav, and Raam and Sraak were both drones yet they were the Uzils of the horde. I guess Theron is a type of elite class within the horde, but not a rank.

[@superstar64]

Still go down with a chainsaw if you try hard enough.

[@mrandrew1017]

The locust will always be better than the swarm❤️❤️

[@PhilBert-sh3nk]

Always and forever

[@seanm8665]

Maaann I almost forgot about the swarm 😂

[@Lythronax98]

This is what the swarm needs. Hopefully we see this in Gears 6 since they have a queen now.

[@Carlos-np7du]

Gears of war is awesome hands down. Making such a vast and interesting world from both the humans and locusts. The Locusts will always have a special place in my heart for video game antagonists and monsters/creatures due to how interesting and cool their design and lore is. Awesome video man!

[@robertdemonte9863]

“Well that’s the locust military ranking explained: well we also have the locust religion” - 24 minutes left in video 😩

[@KingAbzTV]

😂 hope you enjoyed!

I’ve been waiting for a more in-depth explanation of their religion and language

[@jayswrld4926]

Good video abz, gotta love the locust, even tho your playing as the cog and against them I still think locust is the best out of the swarm, cog, onyx etc Playing as them in beast mode and overrun was amazing

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you! & yeah the locust are amazing & I loved beast mode & overrun!

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

Therons are grenadiers you know... Just older and more mutated Based on their OG design Will likely never seen drone Therons in game, but they are out there.

[@ONYXG9000]

Well it makes sense as they grow older they become more of the next generation Drones to grenadiers to Therons Of corse grenadiers are therons it’s a rank

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

Wish we had drone therons, they can come to be, but the problem is....most drones are not smart and reckless....they were breed from mindless beast and inherited their rage. The grenadiers would be aggressive in a trained manner their Offspring/Drones would be aggressive in a animalistic way, drones tend to roar as they get angry. Grenadiers do this as well, but they tend to make it much more better, aka Battle cry or Screams To my calculations on drones 45 out of 100s would be smart Selective breeding would make grenadiers or smarter drones But selective breeding takes time and hard at times Inbreeding became the common way in the locust hordes development That's why the drones resemble more traits of the berzerker then the grenadiers Aka the drones round face and humanly cheek bones Not having the unique skull bone structures of the grenadiers And also, some drones would be taller than their Grenadier counterparts and also have longer arms Gears 3 locust drones are by far the most strongest and greatest products of imbreeding, Cliffy B would agree to this.

[@Lythronax98]

@@Nolongerhereanymore but aren’t grenadiers also drones? I mean it makes sense that therons are older locust because they look different than regular drones. I guess they’re just one type of locust that looks different bc of selective breeding and training, raam and sraak were drones too. So there’s 3 “species” of locust right? Drones, boomers, and kantus.

[@idk----_]

The locust ar still one of the most badass factions in gaming

[@KingAbzTV]

Damn right!!

[@Deus_wukong1468]

Their armor styles are badass.

[@JohnDoe-pu5gk]

No come on now, they have nothing on the swarm and the robots in gears 4 and 5!

[@hillbillydbd1185]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gk What? oh come on they would shred those robots!

[@Reyma777]

I think the Brumak was created in the same manner as the locust. Apes were mutated with imulsion creating an “ape sire”. The ape sire was then further genetically engineered to be stable and fertile. Brumaks and Locust being of primate origin are closely related. Hence both species crystallized when exposed to the imulsion counter weapon.

[@bryanmoncion8174]

Ohhh boy!!!!!! Let’s goooooo!!!

[@nicaln5104]

So the Kantus just existed in the Hollow? They weren’t created like the Drones. They just existed underground forever before the Drones showed up?

Well boys this is it, this is the video that tells you it all. Nice video abz was really looking forward to this one. 👍 Also yeah being a huge lore fan I always wondered myself were did the kantus' come from? It seems the kinda retcond them with making ukon seeing as he looks very much like a kantus and probably was the first of his kind.

[@KingAbzTV]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! & Ukkon was a sire who retained his mental capacity, he looks a little Kantus like but has nothing to do with them. The backstory behind the Kantus is still up in the air, but what I do believe is that they were an ancient species in the hollow

[@ONYXG9000]

🤯ima probably watch this again great vid 💪 I never actually knew the kantus were basically pre locust horde

[@KingAbzTV]

Yeah I hope they explore the Kantus in more detail in the future cos they’re really cool and they have even more potential!

[@jeremydonajkowski1141]

great video, i have always loved the locust. man i miss the og gears series i just cant get into the new games.

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you! & same here, although I wasn’t a fan of judgment really.

[@djmoron242]

Imagine if gears of war started using kill streak example. Get 10 kills you get a silverback, get 25 kills you get a berserker. I feel like the coalition have potential to be a great studio if they just use there resources a bit better. Even though I really don’t like the story behind kait Diaz there is so much room in the comics to make a classic delta squad based game and still appeal to old and new fans. Or maybe even a juggernaut mode where a squad has to take down a brumak or a general raam with his kryll shield and whomever kills him becomes the new juggernaut. I need be working at the coalition lmao

[@deathsmoke63]

Thank you so much I never knew the kantus we're there before the locust

[@KingAbzTV]

You’re welcome & even tho their backstory is still pretty unknown, it is safe to assume they were there before the Locust as it only makes sense

[@blueknight3253]

Great video Abz, I love learning gears of war lore keep up the good work

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply just saw this :)

[@Ang_elo-zs2et]

What about Gears action figures and other stuff

[@blueguy2128]

I've commented on this before, seeing where Vold rank stands at 0:50, RAAM at Vold rank just casually killing a Locust Drone in the comics makes even less sense. As I said before the Locust are loyal to their own race, very organized hive mind type of deal. So seeing RAAM do this, and at a low rank mind you is ridiculous

[@XXAnthonyCarmineXx]

Should do a cog gear vs a usmc marine

[@AttackonDragons]

[@itsnotme2085]

the coincidence is I just reached a level where I'm inside the worm in gears 2

[@lonewolf-223]

What if the worm thats in gears 5 is one of them as well

[@OMAHA16]

Great video, However some of these locust characters are just made up or cosmetic skins in Gears 5 multiplayer. Anyway, Nobody messes with the Theron's.

locust in real life are bugs and a group of them are called *swarms* i see you epic/tc

Abz a lot of this is just based on nothing canonical and is purely speculative. Well made video with alot of good stuff here with all the gears 2 collectibles and rise of Raam stuff but most of what you said about the worms and Kantus was pure 🧢 lol I just don’t feel speculation should be presented as cannon. EDIT: Ok, I’ve watched the full video and especially the second half covering the tech and beast mastery is excellent. The presenting speculation as cannon still rubs me wrong because people will just run with it as cannon. 95% is all good stuff though.

[@KingAbzTV]

Thanks for the feedback & for being open minded after watching the whole vid 😅 What did I say that was wrong about the worms btw? & no worries man I’m always looking to improve so thank you for the feedback my friend!
