So many people making this exact comment... but the fact is that's Starscream's ghost and he POSSESSES the hover board, which then MORPHS into a bass guitar, is just that little bit cooler still
I like to think that that was actually Starscream just deciding to fuck around in Arcee's dreams for the fun of it because he found it wandering time and space as a ghost.
Poor screams, he finally had his dreams realized thene gets turned to dust with the only entertainment for his lingering spirit, f**king with autobots dreams
The proportions, the faces, the overall aesthetic.... you nailed it man!!! Please, keep up this stuff, I'd love a series or short film or something someday!!!
I.. can actually see Starscream doing this. After failing so many times, the need for revenge would make his ghost do anything to acheive it with a touch of Gainax inspiration.
she used to fucking guitar to whack a ball into outer space you think there's a touch? it's what got me though is that both styles are very pronounced and present but perfectly blended, leaving both more complimentary than conflicting
This was…perfect. No weird pauses, the VAs did an excellent job, the animation is top notch, the sound design, the references, it’s just….well guys, you know how good it is
You understand G1 like no one else, not only aesthetically but also in the way you treat the characters, while exponentially improving the action scenes... Thanks for giving us this
I disagree. While it was done overall very well, it had the "new anime feel" about it. Think original DBZ vs new stuff while while it looks cleaner, its lost it touch. However, if a new anime Transformers came out, I'd imagine they could hire this person right away. Having grown up with the original, it felt way different, and didnt seem right.
@@ralphg2771 Well, that's your opinion. I love Transformers and to this day I'm almost incapable of watching a G1 episode...just what 87render has done in my humble opinion would be perfect to resurrect G1 with this aesthetic.
@danidogma you're correct, it's my opinion, I didn't state it as fact. My opinion was based on some of the things he did such as Arcee doing that "I'm strong, come on" pose after defeating the decepticons, which was very anime-ish and was not how G1 Arcee would have reacted. What he did was good, and I'll even say excellent when looking at his quality of work, but I grew up with the originals so am stuck with their original personalities. It's no slight to him, it's the very reason why I didn't like the Michael Bay "Jazz". He was my favorite 80s Autobot and he did him an injustice (besides killing him off right away, considering he lived through all of G1) and he didn't act the same.
There’s something about the 80’s filter with the line art animation that hits different at the beach scene at the end, along with how spot on the voices were to the original it was like I was watching G1 all over again
You don't want Hasbro to hire him. Big corporations bury projects like this and destroy them. Just look at Warhammer 40k. They hired TH-cam creators, but just shut down their channels and made them do animations no one liked.
@tarnation9070 not sure what you mean by bait. I'm just saying this is better than official stuff, and I acclimated well to the 5 month writer/actor strikes which yeah they might as well quit for good at that point imo.
@@MrVariantYou watched a group of fans' non-political, beautifully animated labor of love and thought "this seems like a good opportunity to complain about trans people and union workers"
@jeremoople yes because the official stuff went that way and it's a breath of fresh air to watch source material respected. Why would I want to support actors and writers who enable this crap while paying more for subscription services? Like because it ended, these same people will magically make better stuff than fans or the written material where it has a higher chance of respecting the IP.

The real answer is that an entire series like this really isn't feasible. These videos likely take months and months for him to make. You can't just sit him down, tell him to make a full show and get the same results.
Starscream just casually walking around living his best life is something I need more of in my life. 😂😊 I just want my boy to be happy. This is absolutely fantastic.
@@KatharoniI mean, considering he was abused by Megatron on Earth for 21 years, right? He didn’t know it, but death was a release for him. Well, until Beast Wars lol.
@BallisticGhast6 Well, his spark is actually immortal, so by that logic...he should TECHNICALLY still be alive, right? He just lacks a physical form now.
I think that would be an interesting plot thread, Starscream being his usual scheming self until he dies and becomes a ghost and along the way somehow somewhere in that he finds happiness. What would Starscream do when he realizes he no longer feels he needs to usurp Megatron? Not saying this concept has to be the G1 version either, Armada tweaked Screamer’s character once and many fans love that take.
This is a real 1980s overload! The quality is astounding, spotted more than a few specific scene and camera angle references. Turning 40 in a few weeks and you suddenly brought us back 39 years, feeling all young and excited again. Please do more.
@@EobardTronYep, it's Marty McFly's hoverboard, but the camera angle just before she takes off into the sky is just like Daniel speeding off to see the shuttle in the movie.
It’s a really great characterization! He already hated Megatron and just wanted to be loved/respected more than actually caring about being an enemy of the autobots. It’s an interesting idea to have him “reformed” but still kinda crazy.
Nah. He was teaming up with Hot Rod and Arcee as a means to an end. Sort of like how sometimes Megatron would sometimes work with Optimus Prime in the original G1 cartoon. Starscream just wanted to get back at Galvatron.
The animation style, the perfect SFX, the cinematography...I've watched this 5 times already and it is pure bliss every time. Brings a tear to the eye it's so nostalgic, yet new.
Just didn't like the 'anime 3d' style. Like how the environment looks pale, dull, and lifeless, especially the cities. They lack outlines and the colors felt repetitive. Same issue with most anime with cg. Could use some notes from Borderlands imo. Other than that, it all looks cool.
@breadandcircuses8127to be fair, I didn't know much about Arcee until after watching Transformers Prime... Then I became heavily attached to Arcee's character (her story was amazing)
I never knew I needed a team-up between Starscream's Ghost and Arcee, but somehow, it works. Kinda want to see them interact for real ngl it's just such a fun and wacky concept.
Thank you for this. My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. This is the first time I really got to feel happy and laughed. And now I am tearing up thinking about him sitting on the couch in the background while I would rewatch the Transformers: The movie over and over again.
I’m sorry to hear that happened to you, no one should have to endure losing a parental figure. Somewhere out there, he must be happy knowing that this made you happy though.
The fact that you ended the fight with a FLCL guitar bash was a major highlight for me. Moreover, I want a whole show based on this form of art direction. It is marvelous!
I was expecting references, but ghost Starscream doing the "Ghostbusters" walk caught me off-guard! And the transition to looking like hand-drawn animation was an unexpected gift, as well. Superbly done!
Is it wrong if I want the Transformers crossover comics to be reprinted? The ones with Ghostbusters and Back To The Future look cool from what I've seen, but I wasn't able to get physical copies...
Do you REALIZE how ridiculously AWESOME this is?!?!?! Those of us who grew up on G1 Transformers want to desparately see this as a series with the fire 80's rock track you have in here! This is the Transformers series we need!
I love the references. Robotech, back to the future, FLCL, that old unicorn toy, Macross, Daicon. Seriously these folks need to make our next transformers TV series. It would be awesome!
The VF-1A Angel Birds Valkyrie was very random and cool to see in Battroid mode, but the Takatoku Jetfire deco would also be nice to see in a Transformers animation.
I think what I love the most about your work is simply the fact that despite the fact that you’re using 3D models, the perfect cel shading makes it look like it’s classic 2D animation. Amazing work as always, man.
Cgi has been common in anime and western cartoons for decades. The problem was that it always looked out of place and never meshed well with the rest of the frame. Yet in the last few years artists have really honed using 3d and 2d animation techniques together to create fantastic results like this. I hope this kind of style gets used more in the future as opposed to wholly 2d or 3d things
Things like this make me so happy, to see people still making content including g1 characters. I can’t fathom the time and effort that went into modeling and animating this. Thank you so much for your animated short films.
She is so cute and strong at the same time! I miss this type of characters today you are either one or the other, this type of femininity is seen as weak and undesirable, huge loss
@@Fenris30 That statement reminds me of the fandom's reaction of Beast Wars with the whole "Trukk Not Monkey" thing with Optimus Prime/Primal as a Gorilla instead of the usual big red truck.
As a generation one fan I am utterly shocked at how nostalgic I feel right now. You took me back to my childhood when I saw the movie in 1986. You deserve to have your own transformers G1 show. Or animated movie.
Indeed it was like watching G1 all over again and you made me cry a little because of that. The animation is so perfect, so fluid! It seems we fans are in a new era in which we are the ones entertaining each other with far more quality, professionalism and passion than any corporation now a days is giving us. Five minutes of such a beautiful passionate art inspired and entertained me more than a whole series of the scrap they are making today and calling "Transformers". Thank you, so so much, all of you guys that have put this amazing work together so neatly. I'll be sure to use the proper ways to support you guys and I encourage everyone who have watched it and liked it to do the same. We have to support each other, guys!! Fan to fan art and entertainment is the future!
It’s sad that Hasbro is owned by vulture capitalist financial groups like Blackrock and Vanguard. It’s all about maximizing profits for these corporations, which means putting out stuff the cheapest and quickest way possible.
Yep, I knew it! This was an homage to the Daicon III (1981) and Daicon IV (1983) short film animations The first major works by a group of amateur animators known as "Daicon Film" then Who would go onto form the illustrious Gainax animation studios, of which, there were many references to the many series of in this animation Loved how you even had Daicon Girl in at one point and also the FLCL Guitar Smash! Another epic work, so glad I have found your channel!!
Lost my dad a couple years back and we bonded over generation 1 transformers and this animation put a smile on my face beautifully done please keep creating this was masterfully done!!!
Man, it's so strange. I remember seeing Transformers: The Movie in the theater back in '86 and immediately loved the new characters. I had a real fondness for Arcee back then. Now watching this made me fall in love with Arcee all over again. Great work.
So jealous, my little town didn't have a movie theater. But I agree, immediately latched on to the new characters. Certainly helped that I'd already received a bunch for Christmas by the time the VHS was released
And don't forget the Back to the Future Hoverboard. Love the cameos, the soundtrack, animation, and details! Great work. Seriously, someone please sponsor them for soundtrack and TV show! I would so contribute!
as someone who does not like most of the "new characters" the movie introduced it was still cool seeing this. I like how starscream was introduced it just felt right lol
Even though it was a wacky dream everything about this feels amazing and top notch I even loved that you used planet Galvatron and some how made it ridiculous but entertaining at the same time, I especially appreciate ghost Starscream being there. This is one of the reasons why I like fandoms, they can be so creative that rivals or is just better than the people at Hasbro/paramount
Fantastic and so many moments where I just marveled at how you pulled off difficult shot after shot! Thanks to you and your team for another great short!
Of course they wouldn't. Why would kids understand nostalgia for something before they were born? Are you nostalgic for stuff from before you were born? Lol
It’s even better than I expected my friend, and so happy to see my name in the credits!! Hasbro better hire you. Your skills are insane!! This is exactly how I would want G1 to continue!!! Hoverboard was the best touch as well!
Galvatron: [Kills Starscream] Starscream: Oh no...anyways. [Proceeds to turn into a guitar that smacks Giga Galvatron] This animation was so good! Love the modern take on the G1 laser bolt animation style, it fits so well.
It takes a special talent to be able to make something looks almost 1:1 exactly like the G1 series and then put an awesome fight scene with awesome characters and also be hilarious, you sir deserve to make your own transformers series more than any company that has tried nowadays.
This was so amazing. I'm 43 so all those little references and Easter eggs were like a walk back down my VHS childhood. The bunny girl from the Gainax reel hanging out with a Veritech, wow. That's a pretty *deep* cut, that one. Haha! You nailed their personalities and the tone of the old show too at the end there. Truly incredible work!
@@TheFallenFaob oh hell yeah. That was definitely in there. There are about a million great references. I just happened to notice a couple of fairly obscure ones, unless you're my age 😆
I simply cannot overstate how much great masterpieces like this is appreciated. From the visual aesthetics, to even the voice filter you applied to the characters just fits. It all feels so right. This was a real treat.
Wow. This is the best thing I have seen since the 80's. You have nailed the style of animation perfectly. As a fellow animator I'm blown away by this. You have achieved something I could only dream of. Absolutely stunning. Hasbro should just give you the keys to the kingdom right now and get you to make a proper Transformers movie.
This is sooooo aggressively 80s and I loved every single second of it. I appreciate the love you give to Arcee and the Season 3 cast. Not a lot of attention is given to Hot Rod, Cup, Arcee, and such.
These are insanely good... I'm honestly blown away. Oh, I just noticed you had Starscreaming walking like the Ghost from the into of the Real Ghost Buster. Serious respect to you, lol.
We need an official series like this, instead of the crap that we’ve been getting for the past few years, this is what people want, and your providing service at top quality to the community, thank you
This is great, capturing the spirit of G1 Transformers and the old Daicon animations perfectly. I could fully unfocus my eyes and believe I was watching this off a VHS copy at an anime con 25 years ago. Well done.
Hated how they put her with Springer, felt like she left Hod Rod when he needed her the most. If you watch the movie she only had eyes for him. Reminded me of John Bender and Claire. Rodimus was supposed to be him becoming the person Arcee saw him as cause they all saw his potential not just Kup. But once Hasbro decided to bring back Optimus they had to do something about Rodimus so the kids wouldn't get too attached. Can't have a Quarterback Controversy.
@@Fenris30agreed, it was clear that Arcee was set up to be Rodimus's Elita-1 counterpart but then they changed her attention to Springer and that do annoyed me. I loved Arcee & Hotrod's banter in the movie and wish we had more stuff with them together
This was really well done. Grimlock balancing the beach ball on his nose is the cutest thing ever and I didn't know how much I needed that in my life. Loved all the Daicon IV and FLCL references (which were themselves Daicon refs) in this. Also appreciate Galvatron becoming his (IMO superior) G1 toy colors for a moment. All it needs is some ELO in the background.
Damn the voice actors were all really good in this. And I spotted references to Galvatron's toy colors just before he turned into Grand Galvatron from the Japanese Headmasters Anime. Arcee rides the hoverboard from Back to the Future 2. Pretty sure this is the third time that Back to the Future has been referenced in Transformers. Rescue Bots had a car in one episode made by Doc Greene that was intentionally designed to resemble the Back to the Future Delorean, of course there's Giggawatt which I have, and now this! I was questioning why Starscream's ghost was helping the Autobots but it figures he just wanted revenge against Galvatron for killing him.
Your work just proves how much we need a modern Transformers anime. Seriously, Hasbro, a multimillion dollar corporation, is being outdone by this talented and dedicated team! Please, keep the great work up and thank you for showing the potential this franchise has!
@@tomaslopez2940 And see, that's the problem. When Hasbro does something, they often half-heartedly commit to it, and when it turns out bad or mediocre, they think it's the idea that is at fault instead of their own dedication to the project.
This does not happen often, but watching this made me feel happy. It just put a smile on my face that keep coming back when I think of it. Thank you for making this and sharing it with us. You all made something wonderful.
Okay, Galvatron turning into himself into a mini-Unicron, I can see that. Starscream’s ghost teaming up with the Autobots to get revenge on ‘Megatron’… a stretch, but sure. Starscream subsequently turning into a guitar and Arcee going all Fooly Cooley on Galvatron’s beach ball abs? Unbelievable, yet so awesome! 100/10!
I've been watching this over and over again. Seriously great work! The voice acting was so great. Hot Rod really is DEAD ON. Perfect Judd Nelson from '86 right there, Andrew should be proud because he nailed all his voice work. Galvatron was REALLY close too. Your Starscream was really great as well, but I really like Natalie's voice for Arcee. I'm glad you didn't try to do a Sue Blu voice with her as I think Natalie had a more fun and playful sound to it. The Hot Rod transformation and the upside down camera shot as he drives towards the city and the SFX for the drive by was fantastic as were the interior shots from inside Hot Rod. The seat and dashboard details were recreated BEAUTIFULLY. Music was perfect too. I ADORE That lo-fi remix at the end credits. Seriously, Hasbro needs to get to hiring animators like you f they want to keep these characters fresh. This short, PROVES to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt that these character designs do NOT need to be updated or modernized or anything like that, they just need to be given a better animation style with someone that knows what they're doing and actually CARE about the characters.

Awesome work there!
You did some amazing modeling work
Remind me to put on 100 pounds to cosplay as planet sized galvatron lol but seriously it’s a cool idea.

Ye after realizing it’s not worth it to constantly overthrow megatron
Strarscream is the GOAT, really one of my fav characters. Read about his background before the war. It explains a lot
she used to fucking guitar to whack a ball into outer space you think there's a touch?
it's what got me though is that both styles are very pronounced and present but perfectly blended, leaving both more complimentary than conflicting
I think its also a reference to the armada tv series where starscream temporarily joined the autobots
Well, I mean, the ghost of Starscream did possess Waspinator and go on a rampage tearing Beast Wars' Megatron a new exhaust port.
This was…perfect. No weird pauses, the VAs did an excellent job, the animation is top notch, the sound design, the references, it’s just….well guys, you know how good it is

The animation style, the perfect SFX, the cinematography...I've watched this 5 times already and it is pure bliss every time. Brings a tear to the eye it's so nostalgic, yet new.
Just didn't like the 'anime 3d' style. Like how the environment looks pale, dull, and lifeless, especially the cities. They lack outlines and the colors felt repetitive. Same issue with most anime with cg. Could use some notes from Borderlands imo. Other than that, it all looks cool.
@breadandcircuses8127to be fair, I didn't know much about Arcee until after watching Transformers Prime... Then I became heavily attached to Arcee's character (her story was amazing)
I never knew I needed a team-up between Starscream's Ghost and Arcee, but somehow, it works. Kinda want to see them interact for real ngl it's just such a fun and wacky concept.
tbh i want to see blurr and hot rod again as well lolz
@@beaux515 This is an immensely funny image I need the Arcee and Starscream's Ghost roommates saga.
I particularly enjoyed the FLCL reference with him turning into a guitar for her to wallop Galvatron with.
@@TinedaVO i was wandering where they came up with that lolz
@@beaux515
I can totally see them spilling all the drama that happened during the day to each other. 💀
Waaaaat is this? This is the best piece of Transformers animation I’ve seen since… the original animated movie. 😮
Thank you for this. My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. This is the first time I really got to feel happy and laughed. And now I am tearing up thinking about him sitting on the couch in the background while I would rewatch the Transformers: The movie over and over again.
Sorry to hear, I lost my dad too earlier this year . Cherish the memories you had with him and carry on his light.
My condolences..🙏🏽
stay strong!
Sorry to hear fellas...
I’m sorry to hear that happened to you, no one should have to endure losing a parental figure.
Somewhere out there, he must be happy knowing that this made you happy though.
The fact that you ended the fight with a FLCL guitar bash was a major highlight for me. Moreover, I want a whole show based on this form of art direction. It is marvelous!
That Starscream Ghostbusters strut was genius. Love your work.
Especially when you consider seeing him in the Ghostbusters IDW comic series crossover XD That was hilarious.
LOL Good call! :-)
This just blew my mind. This is worlds better than any other transformers animation I’ve seen in ages. How-what-- I’m speechless
Wait. YOU ANIMATED THIS??!! I thought this was an oficial show!! You have so much talent it's crazy. You deserve your own show.
Too good to be an official show
if too much for a show then a movie perhaps. definitely too much talent to waste as the toys and merchandising is already there.
If this was it whould be awsome ❤❤❤❤
Galvatron becoming Unicorn was absolutely perfect! Also love that Starscream decided to join in just to spite his old boss.
That form was a reference to Grand Galvatron from The Headmasters -- A plan Galvatron had (but never successfully carried out) for upgrading his body.
@@KasumiKenshirouI knew it!
"I AM UNICORN!"
@@KasumiKenshirou the name Unicorn comes from the godawful english dub of Headmasters
@@taylorberry1735 Nah bro, that was the pinnacle of dubbing!
I was expecting references, but ghost Starscream doing the "Ghostbusters" walk caught me off-guard! And the transition to looking like hand-drawn animation was an unexpected gift, as well. Superbly done!
Then the did a FLCL
Good eye
"Ghostbusters Walk"... and I also immediately understood the reference. Man we are old 😂
@@ulercobra indeed
Is it wrong if I want the Transformers crossover comics to be reprinted? The ones with Ghostbusters and Back To The Future look cool from what I've seen, but I wasn't able to get physical copies...
can we talk about how good hotshots engine sounds in that spoul up, and that sound track is pure sex
Do you REALIZE how ridiculously AWESOME this is?!?!?! Those of us who grew up on G1 Transformers want to desparately see this as a series with the fire 80's rock track you have in here! This is the Transformers series we need!
Me too
check out the track from the death battle between optimus and amuro rey it's called wings of iron. very very 80's hair metal
Absolutely 😊
Couldn't agree with you more.
Hot Rod's transformation was straight out of the animated movie but in gorgeous CG!😊
I love the references. Robotech, back to the future, FLCL, that old unicorn toy, Macross, Daicon. Seriously these folks need to make our next transformers TV series. It would be awesome!
Loved those references😅 and Starscream's ghost doing his Ghostbusters stroll!
@@robotkyle71I THOUGHT that walk looked familiar.😄
The VF-1A Angel Birds Valkyrie was very random and cool to see in Battroid mode, but the Takatoku Jetfire deco would also be nice to see in a Transformers animation.
Not only a reference to Unicron but also to Grand Galavatron from Head Masters
And that Back to the Future hoverboard suits her perfectly.
StarScream redemption arc? I dig it.
A full show in this style would be amazing.
@breadandcircuses8127she has heaps of fans, the 5yr old version of me would have loved seeing his cartoon crush like this
yeah they already did that couple years ago and all the purist cried . fans are never happy
@breadandcircuses8127yup, my best friend is a huge RC fan!
I think what I love the most about your work is simply the fact that despite the fact that you’re using 3D models, the perfect cel shading makes it look like it’s classic 2D animation. Amazing work as always, man.
Cgi has been common in anime and western cartoons for decades. The problem was that it always looked out of place and never meshed well with the rest of the frame. Yet in the last few years artists have really honed using 3d and 2d animation techniques together to create fantastic results like this. I hope this kind of style gets used more in the future as opposed to wholly 2d or 3d things
Things like this make me so happy, to see people still making content including g1 characters. I can’t fathom the time and effort that went into modeling and animating this. Thank you so much for your animated short films.
I watch this everytime I need a quick boost of motivation..Starscresm riding on Hotrod...-Classic....A jet riding a car...Incredible ❤❤❤😅
Original Arcee still wonderful after all these years.
0:53 please let starscream has his swagger lol
She is so cute and strong at the same time! I miss this type of characters today you are either one or the other, this type of femininity is seen as weak and undesirable, huge loss
Car not Bike always.
@@MrVariant He was doing the Ghost Strut from the Ghostbusters Cartoon.
@@Fenris30 That statement reminds me of the fandom's reaction of Beast Wars with the whole "Trukk Not Monkey" thing with Optimus Prime/Primal as a Gorilla instead of the usual big red truck.
As a generation one fan I am utterly shocked at how nostalgic I feel right now. You took me back to my childhood when I saw the movie in 1986. You deserve to have your own transformers G1 show.
Or animated movie.
This is a masterpiece. We need to fund this into a full series
Licensing hell
I'm in!
This was so fire!!! Love it! Very 80's inspired.
@@Dr.W.Krueger Hasbro likes fan projects
This Daicon tribute is amazing, the FLCL vibes in it were awesome. Gainax would be proud.
agreed
I like how he outright admits to the references and just throws her in. Now that is just PEAK fiction right there
100% I hope some go look for the reference
I just love how Starscream is as happy as a clam can be. Just minding his own business.
Looks like the ghost at the start of the ghostbusters cartoon intro
The love and passion out into this is incredible.
Indeed it was like watching G1 all over again and you made me cry a little because of that. The animation is so perfect, so fluid! It seems we fans are in a new era in which we are the ones entertaining each other with far more quality, professionalism and passion than any corporation now a days is giving us. Five minutes of such a beautiful passionate art inspired and entertained me more than a whole series of the scrap they are making today and calling "Transformers". Thank you, so so much, all of you guys that have put this amazing work together so neatly. I'll be sure to use the proper ways to support you guys and I encourage everyone who have watched it and liked it to do the same. We have to support each other, guys!! Fan to fan art and entertainment is the future!
The Good Seeds were sown in the 80s. So good, they continue to this day, for all the reasons you mentioned.
It’s sad that Hasbro is owned by vulture capitalist financial groups like Blackrock and Vanguard. It’s all about maximizing profits for these corporations, which means putting out stuff the cheapest and quickest way possible.
Amazing tribute to the old DAICON IV animation. Even had the cameos too. May we never forget it.
Yeah, some may recognize the FLCL scene but they were referencing Daicon IV as well.
Yeah!
Oh yea I definitely see the FLCL vibes
I thought about that with the electric guitar grand slam@@eddiemin4312
Excellent job. Your team really nailed the 80s feel. It's the best TF animated thing I have watched in a long time.
I hope g I joe cross over with this
Oh my deaar its soo amazing!! The animation , sounds ,idea ,everything! IT was fun to watch , keep your work!!❤
Yep, I knew it!
This was an homage to the Daicon III (1981) and Daicon IV (1983) short film animations
The first major works by a group of amateur animators known as "Daicon Film" then
Who would go onto form the illustrious Gainax animation studios, of which, there were many references to the many series of in this animation
Loved how you even had Daicon Girl in at one point and also the FLCL Guitar Smash!
Another epic work, so glad I have found your channel!!
The beach scene with the 80s filter was so perfectly done, I could watch that all day. Please do more like that!
I Loved watching Grimlock try to reach the ball with his teeny tiny arms. It was a nice touch.
A six-minute segment puts most of what has been created since G1 ceased airing to shame. Well done!
Lost my dad a couple years back and we bonded over generation 1 transformers and this animation put a smile on my face beautifully done please keep creating this was masterfully done!!!
Rip to your dad hope he’s doin go, in heaven
Man, it's so strange. I remember seeing Transformers: The Movie in the theater back in '86 and immediately loved the new characters. I had a real fondness for Arcee back then. Now watching this made me fall in love with Arcee all over again. Great work.
Always had a crush on Arcee back in the day.
So jealous, my little town didn't have a movie theater. But I agree, immediately latched on to the new characters. Certainly helped that I'd already received a bunch for Christmas by the time the VHS was released
Brought a tear to my eye.
A beautiful homage to Daicon, Gainax and Transformers.
If you also notice, Starscream is walking down the street like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man from The Real Ghostbusters.
And don't forget the Back to the Future Hoverboard. Love the cameos, the soundtrack, animation, and details! Great work.
Seriously, someone please sponsor them for soundtrack and TV show! I would so contribute!
as someone who does not like most of the "new characters" the movie introduced it was still cool seeing this. I like how starscream was introduced it just felt right lol

Even though it was a wacky dream everything about this feels amazing and top notch I even loved that you used planet Galvatron and some how made it ridiculous but entertaining at the same time, I especially appreciate ghost Starscream being there. This is one of the reasons why I like fandoms, they can be so creative that rivals or is just better than the people at Hasbro/paramount
Fantastic and so many moments where I just marveled at how you pulled off difficult shot after shot! Thanks to you and your team for another great short!
thanks Stan!
I love it that they kept the classic looks.
Entertainment business still didn't learn they DON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH WHAT WORKS!
As kup said "different strokes for different folks"
I am waiting for truly accurate Arcee masterpiece. That throwback to the G1 bumper transformation was gold Jerry gold!!!
How does this only have 1.1m views? This looks unbelievably amazing and would be so popular as an actual series! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN
You have true talent. You captured the spirit of something that millions really really loved. Kids these days don’t understand the nostalgia.
Of course they wouldn't. Why would kids understand nostalgia for something before they were born? Are you nostalgic for stuff from before you were born? Lol
Some " adults too apparently
They will, when they aren't kids. Thats...how nostalgia works.
I got to say I'm a O.G Transformers fan about to be 50 and I'm enjoying this
No one cares lol using that logic y'all don't understand nostalgia either
It’s even better than I expected my friend, and so happy to see my name in the credits!! Hasbro better hire you. Your skills are insane!! This is exactly how I would want G1 to continue!!! Hoverboard was the best touch as well!
Galvatron: [Kills Starscream]
Starscream: Oh no...anyways. [Proceeds to turn into a guitar that smacks Giga Galvatron]
This animation was so good! Love the modern take on the G1 laser bolt animation style, it fits so well.
It takes a special talent to be able to make something looks almost 1:1 exactly like the G1 series and then put an awesome fight scene with awesome characters and also be hilarious, you sir deserve to make your own transformers series more than any company that has tried nowadays.
This was so amazing. I'm 43 so all those little references and Easter eggs were like a walk back down my VHS childhood. The bunny girl from the Gainax reel hanging out with a Veritech, wow. That's a pretty *deep* cut, that one. Haha! You nailed their personalities and the tone of the old show too at the end there. Truly incredible work!
Dont forget the Macross cannon fire shot.
Or the marty mcfly hoverboard from back to the future.
The hit from the guitar made me think of FLCL
@@TheFallenFaob oh hell yeah. That was definitely in there. There are about a million great references. I just happened to notice a couple of fairly obscure ones, unless you're my age 😆
@@anarex0929 right???? So dope. There's so many great references in here
I simply cannot overstate how much great masterpieces like this is appreciated. From the visual aesthetics, to even the voice filter you applied to the characters just fits. It all feels so right. This was a real treat.
For 6 mins I was a child again. Thank you incredible work as always. I wish you could do show!!
💯
Me fez relembrar minha infância,onde esses sempre foram e sempre serão os únicos TRANFORMES. 💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘👍👍
Wow, can't believe this isn't some lost footage from the 80's! One of the best things i've seen on the internet in a long time! :)
Starscream doing the ghostbuster walk was gold.
About time!!! Someone gave Arcee a respectable scene! Love this!
This is so well made. I would love a transformers show in this style, the look of G1 but with modern anime style.
The unexpected Starscream team up was amazing!!!
It felt like the Hi-Fi Rush game was mixed with Transformers with the music style and even the guitar! Nice
I got some Fooly Cooly vibes ngl
Wow. This is the best thing I have seen since the 80's. You have nailed the style of animation perfectly. As a fellow animator I'm blown away by this. You have achieved something I could only dream of. Absolutely stunning. Hasbro should just give you the keys to the kingdom right now and get you to make a proper Transformers movie.
this is just awsome, Arcee, my favorite Autobot !

This is sooooo aggressively 80s and I loved every single second of it. I appreciate the love you give to Arcee and the Season 3 cast. Not a lot of attention is given to Hot Rod, Cup, Arcee, and such.
So many little references and all animated wonderfully!
Not gonna lie always had a soft spot for Arcee And it's kind of neat to see something done with the classic transformers models
These are insanely good... I'm honestly blown away. Oh, I just noticed you had Starscreaming walking like the Ghost from the into of the Real Ghost Buster. Serious respect to you, lol.
We need an official series like this, instead of the crap that we’ve been getting for the past few years, this is what people want, and your providing service at top quality to the community, thank you
That Hot Rod transformation was SMOOTH
The G1'ish transformation never gets old for me
Just saw the Starscream OVA, and now this. Phenomenal work, guys. Even the voices are impressively close to the originals.
This could definitely be a fun little tongue-in-cheek OVA celebrating Transformers and other mecha anime.
This is great, capturing the spirit of G1 Transformers and the old Daicon animations perfectly. I could fully unfocus my eyes and believe I was watching this off a VHS copy at an anime con 25 years ago. Well done.
It's great to see Arcee and Hot Rod working together. We don't get enough of that in this franchise
Hated how they put her with Springer, felt like she left Hod Rod when he needed her the most. If you watch the movie she only had eyes for him. Reminded me of John Bender and Claire. Rodimus was supposed to be him becoming the person Arcee saw him as cause they all saw his potential not just Kup. But once Hasbro decided to bring back Optimus they had to do something about Rodimus so the kids wouldn't get too attached. Can't have a Quarterback Controversy.
@@Fenris30agreed, it was clear that Arcee was set up to be Rodimus's Elita-1 counterpart but then they changed her attention to Springer and that do annoyed me. I loved Arcee & Hotrod's banter in the movie and wish we had more stuff with them together
This was really well done. Grimlock balancing the beach ball on his nose is the cutest thing ever and I didn't know how much I needed that in my life.
Loved all the Daicon IV and FLCL references (which were themselves Daicon refs) in this. Also appreciate Galvatron becoming his (IMO superior) G1 toy colors for a moment. All it needs is some ELO in the background.
So glad someone metioned Daicon IV, that is what I was thinking the entire time-which in itself referenced earlier works.
@@christhompson7983 The Daicon IV animation is one of my favorite anythings ever. I became an ELO fan because of that video, to boot.
That was just the best! Great animation, choreographing, and voice acting! A1 a cross the board!
Damn the voice actors were all really good in this. And I spotted references to Galvatron's toy colors just before he turned into Grand Galvatron from the Japanese Headmasters Anime. Arcee rides the hoverboard from Back to the Future 2. Pretty sure this is the third time that Back to the Future has been referenced in Transformers. Rescue Bots had a car in one episode made by Doc Greene that was intentionally designed to resemble the Back to the Future Delorean, of course there's Giggawatt which I have, and now this! I was questioning why Starscream's ghost was helping the Autobots but it figures he just wanted revenge against Galvatron for killing him.
Your work just proves how much we need a modern Transformers anime. Seriously, Hasbro, a multimillion dollar corporation, is being outdone by this talented and dedicated team! Please, keep the great work up and thank you for showing the potential this franchise has!
They probably stopped doing anime because of the Unicron trilogy
@@tomaslopez2940 And see, that's the problem. When Hasbro does something, they often half-heartedly commit to it, and when it turns out bad or mediocre, they think it's the idea that is at fault instead of their own dedication to the project.
This does not happen often, but watching this made me feel happy.
It just put a smile on my face that keep coming back when I think of it.
Thank you for making this and sharing it with us.
You all made something wonderful.
One of the best things I have ever watched. The nostalgia for this 52 year old is massive. I loved Starscream getting his due.
Okay, Galvatron turning into himself into a mini-Unicron, I can see that. Starscream’s ghost teaming up with the Autobots to get revenge on ‘Megatron’… a stretch, but sure. Starscream subsequently turning into a guitar and Arcee going all Fooly Cooley on Galvatron’s beach ball abs? Unbelievable, yet so awesome! 100/10!
Fantastically done! You've got a great team and the spirit of the characters really shine!
-NGSMOOV, Randall
I've been watching this over and over again. Seriously great work! The voice acting was so great. Hot Rod really is DEAD ON. Perfect Judd Nelson from '86 right there, Andrew should be proud because he nailed all his voice work. Galvatron was REALLY close too. Your Starscream was really great as well, but I really like Natalie's voice for Arcee. I'm glad you didn't try to do a Sue Blu voice with her as I think Natalie had a more fun and playful sound to it. The Hot Rod transformation and the upside down camera shot as he drives towards the city and the SFX for the drive by was fantastic as were the interior shots from inside Hot Rod. The seat and dashboard details were recreated BEAUTIFULLY. Music was perfect too. I ADORE That lo-fi remix at the end credits. Seriously, Hasbro needs to get to hiring animators like you f they want to keep these characters fresh. This short, PROVES to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt that these character designs do NOT need to be updated or modernized or anything like that, they just need to be given a better animation style with someone that knows what they're doing and actually CARE about the characters.
I felt like I was twelve again watching that. Well, back to being an adult now, thank you very much for those 6 blissful minutes of nostalgia.
