TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on DEATHSAURUS

[@talljoke]

My favourite part of the Basics is that any character Chris does a video on has a 90% chance of showing up in media or getting a new toy within three months.

[@chheinrich8486]

Another good example is punch, who appeared just months after his basics episode in transformers 84

What's even funnier about this character, is the fact that his name is literally deathsaurus but in the end of Victory,they showed us that he's a less tyrannical leader

That's irony for ya. Also I think he uses that name to strike fear into the Autobots, a scare tactic if you will

[@DeathScepter]

And Haslab just announced that Deathsaurus is their next project. So, for those who backed Star/Victory Saber, they can back this one and have him.

[@robotlorekeeper9880]

Honestly, this is why I adore the big picture the Basics provides. I was aware of the dry fact that the Victory manga gave a much more sympathetic motivation for ol’ DS. But focusing on how the work as a whole differed from its sister series in his characterisation- by taking an aspect of his bio the latter barely used in a different direction and BUILT to the reveal of the Decepticon civilians and subsequent happier ending by portraying him differently throughout makes it SO much more compelling. I see people accuse this series of just copying TFwiki, but a wiki writeup wouldn’t give you this (plus, like... who d’you think wrote the wiki?). Transformers is, after a toy franchise, narrative fiction, and I think online discussion between fans like myself, who are in too deep to remember what TF looked like from the outside, often gets boiled down to essentially out of context compilations? Not “man the reveal of Esmeral makes me like Deathsaurus even more” but “lol this guys name is crazy did you know some japanese comic gave him a wife what were they on amirite”. The ideas of a cruel villain battling a brave hero across the galaxy to a bitter end and of two former friends reconciling over a shared desire to protect the people they care about are equally fascinating and exciting to me. Between this and earthspark I think I’m remembering why Transformers excites me in the first place, so thanks.

[@Jetblast01]

Honestly, the manga version of Deathsaurus makes sense considering the sheer size of the station. Okay, I get G1 often was lacking on the amount of background characters besides copypasta seekers, but the idea that the whole place is a home for way-ward Decepticons that have no part in Megatron's desire for power is interesting (like the Autobot pacifist planet, before Rodimus blew it up proving why them wanting to avoid Cybertron's war was a good thing in the first place). It's an idea that hasn't really been touched on the Decepticons since Blitzwing and Octane defected from the Decepticons, one to save Cybertron and the other to escape abuse.

Too bad all the IDW appearances of any JP characters that weren't villains already were insulting as hell.

So many ways of interpreting Deathsaurus' name yet honestly all of them are all so cool and menacing. Fit for a Decepticon leader.

It's honestly my favorite Tf show and I hope that we can eventually see a return to Deathsaurus and the Victory cast with the Legacy toyline eventually

[@RocketHarry865]

Here's a little fun fact:if you think that Dezaras' recolor , Red geist was weird and out of the blue , but in (almost)every brave series it was very common to have a character to have a g1 recolor/remold because the toy manufacturers of the brave series is Takara tomy , the same people who made transformers.

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

Only ones that didn’t was Fighbird and GaoGaiGar, The latter isn’t too surprising being one of the last but the former is the 2nd entry which they could’ve easily done but instead they had a wholly original designed cast. The dinobots were in Exkaiser with an evil heavily modified triple changing grimlock as Dino Geist. We know Da Garn’s, Might Gaine had Sonic Bomber and Dai Atlas as Hiryu and Gouryu. Shadowmaru and I want to say Kagero we’re Sixshot, Goldran had Scorponok and Sky Garry as Sasorigan and DeathGarryGan… Dagwon had some Victory character who I’m not familiar with Galaxy Shuttle as Thunder Dagwon but modified to combine with Dag Thunder’s motorcycle to form Thunder Dagwon

One of the coolests things about Deathsaurus was how many weapons he had: the flail and the sword and shield for close combat and for range attacks he had his Living Matter Destroyer Cannon and his tiger partner who could tran into a bow an the eagle into a gun. It also would be important to note that in the anime he was Combiner size.

I get to know Deathsaurus via his Botcon 2005 toy which IMO is pretty good modern imagining of him even to this day. While his Combiner Wars toy is adequate western release though could think backstory how Dezarus came to be. A) Deathsaurus, Leozack and Jallguar were fused into single being which lead the creation of Dezarus. or B) Due Jallguar been killed, Leozack badly wounded and Deathsaurus struggling to be alive; Deathsaurus and Leozack were rebuild into one and giving combiner ability to make new Liokaiser while giving Deathsaurus full control of new identity. I'm bit surprised that Takara didn't do they version of Dezarus by giving proper Deathsaurus deco.

Sometimes, even the most sinister of villains can have a softer side. Deathsaurus is perhaps one of the few examples of doing all the wrong things for the right reasons. I especially admired IDW bringing aspects from the manga, having be a lesser commander with a conscious. Although, I'd argue amplifying his guilt to such a degree, even in times of conflict is unnecessary. It is like kicking the guy who is already down. As much as his lack of toy prominence is an insult to Star Saber's archrival, I have no doubt that Hasbro will eventually give Deathsaurus his proper update....but expect the name to be a bit different since a similar fate befell the Breastforce. Case in point, Hellbat was renamed Fellbat, and Killbison was renamed Ironbison (and also wasn't afraid to raise the middle finger to his opponents in combat)

It gives me the headcanon that while hes a intimidating and merciless warrior on the battlefield, he has a sense of honor and standards to his villainy, a lawful evil character.

Wooo Haslab Deathsaurus!!!!

[@adawnicusautocon]

It's like you can't have Optimus Prime without Megatron (and/or Galvatron) so the same should go for Starsaber and Deathsaurus

[@orkinusdelfinoideo8484]

If there is confusion about his name in english, in spanish someone chose to call Deathsaurus "San Ras" or "Sanrras". I don't know why, but that was his name in southamerican spanish dub, the only spanish dub for Victory as far I know.

And just like this guy said, THEY DID MAKE A DEATHSAURUS TOY!!!!:D

[@Firedrake-SP]

Maybe Hasbro should have called him Grifficon in the American version because of his bird like features on him.

The time has come! LET’S (say) GOOOOOO

[@daverage4729]

I love how the sound that accompanies Cliffjumper punching Deathsaurus in the face is 'KANCH!!!!' LMAO!!!! Someone get that Autobot some Batman armor.

[@WyattTFdude]

The new Haslab Deathsaurus is awesome, I have no idea who he is

[@mekman4]

That’s pretty cool! I’d love to see a live action take on Deathsarus, it’s the best opportunity we have for more of the character. Great Stuff, as always!

[@gamingdinosaur6931]

Deathsaurus deserves more respect for his toys and his underlings

[@YautjaAlphaPrime]

I've been waiting for deathsaurus to get his own episode for so long and it's finally here. I actually didn't know about the manga differences so that was a very fresh addition to my knowledge. Very awesome video and can't wait till the next one keep it 💯 👌.

In nearly 2 years time he's going to come to Earth and kill us

[@raymondchong1607]

Great video! I just received my HasLab Deathsaurus!

[@JonathanChaotic]

Watching this in 2024 with my Haslab Murder Chicken sitting next to my Haslab Swordman+Lion Jordans and Haslab Unicorn

Here’s my idea for how deathsaurus could work, he starts out as a decepticion leader, leading the decepticon campaign on the dark nebula, but it would be revealed that he actually cares about the decepticons, their families and the ones injured, with him slowly losing his relationship with his wife.

[@javiersantanaaviles5885]

Deathsaurus was the greatest villain in the anime series of Victory while in the manga he became one of the greatest heroes of all the Transformers franchise
