TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on TELETRAAN I

[@mistermann4163]

I really enjoyed Teletraan 1 as the vending machines in FoC. Just makes me crack a smile with who and what he says to the others. "How's Starscreams plan unfolding?" Best line of the game.

[@Dispencerhere]

"How could i know you are not Optimus prime?"

[@orinanime]

I love that Beast Wars addressed the error IN the show. And I love that it was Rattrap who did it. That show is amazing!!!

[@Overlord81]

And yet Teletran 1 seems NEVER able to detect Laserbeak even INSIDE the Ark.

[@peacefultyranny8981]

Laserbeak is technically the strongest decepticon in the 84 cartoons. It can sneak to everywhere, it can fight OP during a face to face combat, and even nearly taking OP offline once.

[@wildquakeofsrg6147]

I HAVE A THEORY! So, in the Covenant Of Primus, it's stated that gender amongst Cybertronians is not based on physicality, but the structuring of one's mind. Specifically, there ability to process information. Solus, mind was unique amongst her brothers, with it being necessary to operate her Creation Lathe and build the various relics the Primes used. My theory is that when A.I.'s were being first engineered, scientists used the information processors of Female Transformers as a basis. Thusly, when these A.I. developed an interface, they presented Female, explaining why so many, if not the majority of A.I. in Transformers are overtly female. (Plus, I image that transformers can just program the A.I. to identify as male all they like. This still just a theory.)

[@XMattingly]

This “autonomous thinking machine” *EXPLORED EXPLORED REPAIRED REPAIRED* the Decepticons first, and if not for a freak tremor jarring it into position to restore Optimus Prime, would have left the Autobots for dead. Traitor to the right to freedom of all sentient beings? You decide.

[@twistedgaming9185]

Same happened in the FOC game: any faction can use the terminal!

[@oliviawilliams6204]

Well it did so in the cartoons because Skywarp was the one who was in position to be scanned and repaired, then Skywarp proceeded to move Megatron and other fellow Decepticons to be repaired. Telegram made no decision of its own on that. If it was a traitor it could have just not repaired Optimus when he got in position. But it did. My guess it was not fully sentient and just followed programming

[@velkia7359]

TwistedGaming918 I think the reasoning behind FOC Teletraan was they didn’t have time to make it Autobot only, that or the system got damaged so it read every faction

[@ShinGallon]

In the cartoon, yes. In the comic it repaired both factions at the same time because it couldn’t tell them apart.

[@Hektols]

@@velkia7359 What I don't understand is the part with the decepticons leaving the Ark instead of destroying what remained of the autobots and Teletraan, they could have won the war easily.

[@kirbyfanprime]

Hasbro/Takara knows they can milk that nostalgia money out of us 30-40 year old's that grew up on G1/G2, and that isn't going to stop until it stops being profitable. Also, if I'm remembering correctly, any new non-BW series has underperformed for some reason or another, so they have no incentive to innovate if sales/views go down. Just the unfortunate truth, sadly.

Great video Chris - thank you. I enjoyed that this one looked back and forward with the information on FOC: Kingdom. I’d always wondered why no one had gone along the MetroTitan or Shipformer angle for the Ark. The Auntie nickname was also used by a lot of big artists and presenters who worked at or without the British Broadcasting Corporation to describe the nebulous but ever present culture of control, consistency and occasional censorship. Given the reach of the BBC programming and the World Service, I wonder if that affected Budiansky or later Furman in using that name? Also, if in doubt for a voice? Had to fire someone?

[@johnbirkenmaier6641]

Good morning Chris. I really enjoyed this episode. I have an interesting question for you. So the Marvel comic initially gave Teletraan 1 the name AUNTY in the book. This of course was before the cartoon. But theses also an interesting reference to that name in the GI Joe cartoon series. In the episode “The Spy who rooked me”, we are introduced to a secret agent character named Matthew Burke. He’s a James Bond type of secret agent that helps the Joes out in the episode. The characters drives a car that unfortunately gets destroyed by Zartan and the dreadnoks. The organization that he works for is called A.U.N.T.I.E. It is shown on the truck that delivers him a new car In the episode. I wonder if that’s a nod somehow to the Transformers? We have seen other examples of a “shared universe” in the Transformers cartoon. Ex. Marissa Fairborn being Flint’s daughter, and of course “Old Snake” being Cobra Commander from GI Joe. I just thought this was an interesting tidbit about GIJoe that maybe has a relevance. Keep up the great videos!

Well, in that case, it was probably a dig on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E", but it is a funny coincidence.
