    Crasher was at least a little revolutionary for the time. A female villain whose focus was strength rather than craftiness or something zappy. And more importantly, who didn’t have a designated girl fight counterpart, bit instead squares off with the rough and tumble Turbo.
    Add in a memorable voice and it’s no wonder she’s one of the most enduring elements of Gobots.

      And it actually made sense for the GoBots to have males and females, since they were originally humans (or something on their planet exactly like humans, anyway), but over time replaced their worn out body parts to become cyborgs that could convert.
      There were a few other female GoBots. Off the top of my head I can remember Smallfoot, Pathfinder, and (Rock Lord) Solitare.
      Edit: The monster GoBot Vamp was also female in the cartoon, but in the toy commercial was said that "HE'S so scary, he even scares HIMSELF".

    Her laugh is definitely the thing I remember most about Crasher. The Tom Scioli series is probably the very best Go-Bots story I've ever read/seen. Definitely one of the best stories IDW produced. I always envisioned Armada's Cyclonus as initially being conceived as an iteration of Coptur. It's a shame Hasbro are so hesitant to integrate the Go-Bots proper.

      @LordArikado ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I feel like a big part of Hasbro's reluctance to fully incorporate the GoBots into Transformers is due to the rights issues with most of the iconic GoBots designs. Hasbro owns the characters, but Bandai owns the original toy designs, so it brings up the issue of how to make them recognizable as GoBots while keeping them legally distinct from Machine Robo. Crasher just happens to work better than most because she has an alt mode that can be easily retooled and/or repainted from Mirage.

      @KasumiKenshirou ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@LordArikado You're probably right. I remember reading an interview with a Transformers toy designer that brought this up. They were going to release a toy based on a GoBot (perhaps one of these Crashers) and had to convince the higher-ups that what they were proposing would be legal for them to do without imposing on the Machine Robo designs. I don't remember all the details, but it had something to do with the vehicle mode being based on a real car that made it OK.
      There was another case where a set of Japanese-exclusive recolors of the G1 mini cars was advertised, with all the toys having the names of GoBots. (These were the US GoBots names, not the Japanese Machine Robo names.) However, when the toy set was released, the GoBot names for the characters had been removed.

It was definitely unusual for the time that one of the main characters in a "boy's" toy line (and a villain bruiser no less) was a female character (GI Joe's Baroness is the only other notable example I can think of), and her voice and insane laugh definitely made her memorable. I wish her Legacy figure looked more like her original alt mode but I'm still glad she's back, and maybe she'll get another Porche "inspired" alt mode someday.

    Great video Chris! You never cease to amaze!
    So in terms of incorporating the Gobots into Transformers fiction, I've always thought that they could be reinterpreted as inhabitants of Gorlam Prime.
    For those unfamiliar, Gorlam Prime was a planet featured in Simon Furman's run during the early 2005 IDW comics, where its inhabitants the Gorlamites went through a planetwide conversion from organic to mechanical lifeforms. Furman used some of the Micromasters to represent them, but I personally think that the Gobots would fit into the concept a lot better since they were originally cyborgs before Hasbro reintroduced them as purely Cybertronian. Their conversion into Cybertronian-like beings could still be tied in with the Transformers like it was in IDW.
    I can only hope that such an idea is explored in the future.

    Suggestion for an episode: Override. She's an interesting case where the first use of a name hasn't become the go-to identity of modern incarnations. It's not too uncommon but still worth covering. Her Cybertron incarnation seems to be the most common depiction in media since then.

    Crasher was a great villain. Megatron would’ve loved to have her as a Decepticon as much as Cykill loves her as a Renegade. I would’ve also love to seen her get into scuffle with Rumble and Frenzy, with their pile drivers going up against her stumping discharge attack.

    Hi there, I just wanted to say that being born in 86 I have been a long term transformers fan and have recently gotten back into collecting transformers toys(something that I haven't done with as much enthusiasm since I was like 6 and had all the protectobots) and I have built such a tasty collection since watching your videos that frankly I don't know if should I should thank you for such lovely toys or blame you for being so short of money.............
    Ofcourse it's a thank you. I love my toys and I very much enjoy your content🥰

    Seeing Crasher's lightning stomps from the cartoon reminded me of two separate moments from the first live action Transformers film. Specifically, it reminds me of Blackout's weapon from the start of the movie, capable of unleashing a shockwave that destroyed the armed jeeps and parked aircraft at the base. Crasher could be a great way to bring that kind of attack back into Transformers media.

    Both Cy-Kill and Crasher are my favourite characters from Go-Bots and while I'm really happy that Hasbro have a new Crasher toy for the Transformers Legacy toyline, I hope they'll make their take on Cy-Kill for that said toyline, even that means they have to retool the Studio Series 86 Wreck-Gar mold with cartoon-accurate head design. Now keep this in mind, I'm not 100% sure the Cy-Kill toy is going to happen or not and if not, at least we got that Crasher figure for Transformers Legacy and as for Cy-Kill, we still have those Machine Robo figures of him from Action Toys. 🙂
