Transformers G1 Cartoon 1986 Mini-Vehicles All Scenes (No Wheelie)

Here are all the scenes featuring: Outback, Pipes and to a lesser extent Swerve & Tailgate. Hubcap never appeared and Wheelie would need a whole nother video.

[@GlitchanBlack]

"Our charts don't show any planets on that sector. Oh, wait - here it is. I thought it was a smudge on the screen." -Rodimus Prime (1986)

[@ranko8642]

he sounds so depressed

[@chillglobe]

@@ranko8642 well this is the arc that he felt the pressure of being a leader and a Prime

[@Fenris30]

But Why though? He had No trouble stepping up in the Movie. No they new from the start of season three they were bringing Optimus Back and you can't have two leaders so they chose to diminish Rodimus' role and make him unlikable so kids wouldn't get too attached to him. If you hated Rodimus as a kid that's why.

[@victorcolon1454]

Outback replaced Brawn. Swerve replaced Gears. Pipes replaced Huffer. Tailgate replaced Windcharger.

I wonder why IDW had such hate booner for poor Outback? Seriously, they tried to kill him off twice and the few flashbacks we got with him showed he was a corrupt cop.

[@afzalhakimbinzairini956]

Plus even his name is very Australian, Outback. Like the Australia Outback. Outback feels like a Transformers version of Steve Erwin.

[@rugalheidbernstein9944]

Season 3 Minibots may not have had much screen time but they had cool designs.

[@originaluddite]

They were sadly under-used, with Swerve and Tailgate having no dialogue at all. But, yes, those designs were an improvement on their 1984 mould-mates.

[@jps6071]

@@originaluddite I personally think, they should have let Trypticon actually kill a few of them, if they knew nothing to do with them anyway. Not that I wanted them to die. But except for Outback, not a single one of them had done something significant for the rest of the series anyway and it would have made Trypticon look like an even greater threat.

[@originaluddite]

@@jps6071 Pipes was somewhat useful in Season 3, but I agree that would have made Trypticon more scary and maybe maintained some of the movie vibe. However, if their toys were on shelves in 1986 I'd rather see them survive, and instead clearly show some Season 1 characters die, rather than just have them mysteriously never seen again.

[@jps6071]

@@originaluddite One of the things I liked about Five Faces of Darkness was that it at least showed a certain level of mass destruction that could be expected in a war. But it still lacked actual on-screen deaths of Transformers in comparison to the movie. Only the one Sweep taken out by Wheely through a lucky shot was actually shown.

[@originaluddite]

@@jps6071 that was cool. I also liked the epic back story of the Quintesson hand in Transformers history. Most unusual for a cartoon. Only wish they had given more of the work to a better animation company for those five eps.

Was this the episode set in Carbombia? The very one that Casey Kasem quit the Transformers series over, because he said this episode was racist? Carbombia could have been another name for Libya.

Alas, why does Outback sound more like an English cockney, instead of an Australian?
