Summer of '86 was a year of big changes for me. We had just moved to a new area in town right after 2nd grade and attended a new school in the fall. Seemed like all my classmates from my previous school cared about Transformers opposed to the kids in the new school who all cared about was hockey and wrestling. With no one to talk transformers with, I kind of fell out of love with it. I didn't watch the movie that summer so I did not know what the heck was going on with the 3rd season. I vividly remember saying to myself, "What the heck happened to the Transformers". With everything that was happening, it was easy for me to fall out of the fandom. Throughout the decades after, I always cared for Transformers from a far buying t-shirts and things until recently where I started to get my son into it by buying him WFC & Cyberverse figures. We are a household of hardcore Transformer fans (except my wife who chooses to just put up with it). I would like to thank you for this particular 1986 4-parter for I can pick up my love for the cartoon that I had left behind that summer.
As my father was a fireman, I was gifted one of the Protectobots every birthday and Xmas. It took 2 1/2 years, but in the end I got eventually got Defensor. Have him on display on my shelf as he brings back so many good memories.
That's so heartwarming!
Your dad’s a real hero. Not just for buying the Protectobots, but for saving lives.
Wow that’s cool
Before there were the Rescue Bots, there were the Protectobots.
When I use to live in Japan I went to a thrift shop with my friend and I found a g1 blades it was in okay condition and I bought it and gave it to my dad Who grew up with transformers
Brawl was the first Transformer that I owned :) I became a fan of Transformers in 1985, am now 44 years old, and I think I will never outgrow being a fan of this awesome franchise. Loved the video, keep the nostalgia flowing! 😃😊
Thanks Michel! 🙏
It was Soundwave for me, but I didn't own it. I lived in Asia, my local toy store never have G1 Soundwave, or any G1 toys when I was small. To this day I still haven't owned any Soundwave toy, but I still love it, awesome robot mode, awesome disguise and awesome minions.
The first transformer I owned was also in ‘85 it was Cosmos.
I remember some kid bought Devastator to school I thought it was so cool.
Mine was a broken g2 onslaught
Your sequential walkthrough of the Transformers events of 1986 shows me how much my life revolved around these events in 1986!
Looking back at 1986, it was definitely my biggest year for Transformers as a kid. A really good year.
I was lucky enough to get all 4 combiner sets through 86 and 87. Menasor was the only boxed set, I got the rest individually. Bruticus is my favorite because he was the most asymmetrical.
I'm a proud member of the Tribe and I look forward to the rest of the series. Thank you, Michael.
Thanks Joe! Have an awesome weekend!
I remember when I got my superion I was so happy and still have him today
Its incredible how much seeing these toys brings me back to specific times in my childhood. Reminds me of better times when everyone was around.
I just turned 19 and I’m still in love with transformers
Transformers was a huge part of my childhood. I still watch it actively to this day I watch the original cartoon and other shows like Prime and animated a lot.
Im 38 and still love Transformers!
14 and going strong, but my dad is 46 and still going as a transformers fan
My Dad was a fan of the transformers when he was a kid and pretty much grew up with the show. He made transformers the first show I had ever watched right when I got home after being born and the continued to make sure that I grew up with the show. I've fallen I love with the Arielbots being my favorite characters in the show. and just recently, my Dad found and got the whole Arielbots set online and gave it to me. I have Superion sitting on my desk and it is the coolest thing ever.
I'm more than happy to say I'm one of the few G1 fans that liked Defensor/Protectobots more than Superion or even Devastator. The entry you did for these less popular toys and characters made me smile, and even tear up a little as they usually get overlooked.
Thank you so much Michael for the history of transformers 1986
Excellent video! I loved how each element of entertainment was covered. I was collecting the comics and had the video game for the C64 which was a ton of fun for its time. Far as combiners I loved the aerial bots! Bruticus was a major meathead.
Fantastic video Michael!...with every episode I'm taken back to a time that was so dear to my heart..thanks so much for all your effort...looking forward to part 2👌🏾
"I've been waiting for this!" Crossbones 2016
When you get to Metroplex, please show the ultimate form that was shown in the Japanese instructions that connects Silverbolt and Hot Spot.
Love your videos, God bless
I love how Bruticus just smacked the top of the rocket off at 7:59 🤣
The anticipation for the movie back then must've been somewhat epic, I imagine...👌🏼💯✔️
These videos just keep getting better. Keep up the amazing work, dude. You make me feel like a kid again.
Thanks Jason, much appreciated. 🙏
Absolutely awesome video, I love it. The Combiners made it more fun to collect Transformers and they are all so cool and fun to play with.
1986 presented a lot of new toy-line competition for the old guard. I barely remember any of these aside from Motor Master. I do remember being disappointed that the vehicles were becoming smaller and weren't matching the 84-85 toys.
Man, I love this movie. And the soundtrack!!! Don't get me started on that. I own it. Listen to it when I'm out running. I watch this movie 1-2 times a year. Rodimus Prime is my favorite from this line
The fact that you opened with that quote, really won me out the gate for whatever your about to say.
I have always liked the combiner gimmick (or similar concepts), not only in the TransFormers toy line but pretty much in any kind of robot toys. I know that (or at least that's how I see it) the Constructicons are like the quintessential combiners, but I always had a fondness for the Protectobots and the Combaticons as well. I only got Blades and First Aid back in the day.
I keep rewatching these history videos, and they never get old. Thank you so much! And so that you know, I'm so much looking forward to the 1987 one :)
I love that Megatron is holding wheels from Jayce and the wheeled warriors, the way you have other 80s properties mixed into some of the cuts and as background props is much like we used to do when we were kids, (tho less polished) top notch as always!
Thanks!
Always wanted superion. The only full combiner I got was bruticus...piece by piece over a period of time. It felt like a scavenger hunt as a kid, finding the pieces in different locations from drugstores to department stores to toy stores. Love my moms and grandpa for getting these for me and giving me a fun childhood.
Excellent work as usual - greatly appreciate the inclusion of the toon clips coupled with your animations / fond memories of getting the combaticons and having them face off against the arielbots
Fantastic video as always! Looking forward to the remaining 3 parts!
Thanks Attila! 🙏
I had Superion as a kid and i recall seeing a knock off version of the Airialbots in a pre wrapped Easter Basket at WalMart in the early 2000's. Did anyone ever see these? They had other combinors as well in other baskets.
I think it was at walgreens I seen them in the late 2000's
I got menasor for my birthday back in the day, best birthday ever.
Hey Michael. What a great video. You have a fantastic G1 collection. Cheers M
I want that room!! I gave away all my 80's G1 transformers and now I feel stupid I did it. But back in the mid 90's I wasn't into transfomers anymore. And I owned about 70 of them!! Even a rare one you could only order using the points on the back of the box and the cardboard Autobots HQ.
You presented this perfectly. I had to pause this multiple times on the big screen to point out which ones I had.
I got both the arialbots and combaticons. 2 of my favorite combiners.
I love all the vintage toys including ,silverhawk ,bravestarr ,starcom
I had all of them and Defensor was the most solid of them and looked the best...miss them all.
When I got my supirion some of his stickers were missing and the others were one sticker when it was supposed to be 2 it was reissue at the end of the day I did care it was my first g1 combiner I was happy to have it
Today is a good day to be a Transformers fan cause
Ultraprimal= uploads 2 new videos
TFanpage101=shows us some new earthrise stuff
Chris Mcfeely=gives us a Basics on the Transformers God
And now the great Michael Mercy another great history video
For the record menasor is the best combiner at least in my opinion
Loved how the Autobots countered the new Decepticon Combiner teams with their own Combiner teams made of their opposites, the only thing I missed was the Decepticons having a Combiner size bot who was not a Combiner as happened with Omega Supreme.
When I got Air Raid and Strafe, I'm imagining how big they were when combined when I was a kid, hoping one day I can complete these combiners..they were huge for me then! 😄 Still have some of the older ones, along with the newer ones.. 😄
I remember getting the complete set box of the Protectobots for my birthday in the summer of 86... good times.
Great video! G1 Silverbolt and G1 Hot Spot were the first two Transformers I ever owned, back when I was just two years old. =)
The good ol days great time for our childhoods love Transformers
Ba weep graahhnaahh weep ninni bong!
The cool thing is I'm 30 and I grew up watching the original transfomers and and gi joe never could get my hands on original gi Joe's but transfomers were a easier time consumer as a kid and as adult now I'm glad I was able to experience what my uncles and other kids around world almost 40 yrs ago and thank you Michael for inspiration to complete my g1 collection
Side note my first g1 guy was my uncles grimlock which is in my collection with his other 4 buddies
Good job on keeping these to 11 minutes and doing 4 parts! I approve! Give us all what we want.. and keep the TH-cam algorithm happy so that you can prosper!
Just amazing. Love going back to my youth Your videos are the vehicle for time travel.
I love the production work on your videos
Thanks Matt!
8:15 Hot Spot: Protectobots, roll to the rescue!
Yahoo! 1986 is here! Awesome series, amazing video. Can't wait to see the rest.
Michael,
A+++ work like always good brother!😁👍
I know there is so much work and time put into these segments and we ALL appreciate it so much. God Bless🙏🇺🇸
Thanks Bill, glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe good brother!
Yes sir, thank you! You and Luana as well👍
I have been so excited for this
Thank you for 1986 history it's been some time since the 1985 video
The protector-bots: Autobots, to the rescue! The combata-cons: the military mecha villains. The aerial-bots: the planes that protect. The stunti-cons: the cars that know one law, there are no laws. (Combiner wars) Optimas maximas: When the leader becomes a combined himself.
I have a currently growing collection of G1. I’m probably going to get a Superion soon. Bulstering my ranks from 4, to 9! Well technically 10 but what ever. Don’t have much money as you know, children don’t have much of that. I’m selling some old unwanted transformers on eBay to help my ranks grow.
Nice video Michael, I just love your approach to these "The History of" series'. So optimistic and dare I say it, fun. But I wonder, will you cover the 86' batch of minibots in this edition? You know, guys like Pipes, Tailgate, Swerve etc. Love your work, keep at it.
Thankyou for the Nostalgic inspiration.
another superb edition, really got the oil flowing.
Awesome vid! I am all in on the combiners. I still have them all from back in the day. Plus some variants. Something about 5 vehicles combining into one captured my imagination. I havent yet picked up any of the newer ones, as i wanted to make sure i got the best versions of the ones available. (Picked up the Predaking as per your reviews, and i loved it!) Thanks for doing what you do, and sharing it all with us. =)
Oh man, soo much memories coming back. I used to have plenty of these toys back in the days.
That was awesome. Can't wait to see the next 3 parts. Any chance you will finish the History of Motu? That would be sweet. The Evil Horde needs some love.
Great awesome video here the Combaticons were and still my favorite ✊✊
Great review! Loved it!❤️ Great job my friend. 👍🏻
Looks like 2 autobot combiners and 2 decepticon combiners are gonna have and big smackdown during cartoons.
Fab job as per usual, Michael...also, I'm really glad that you alluded to the Marvel UK Transformers comic here, which was just hitting its stride with classic tales like 'Crisis of Command' and the beginnings of the Galvatron saga with the epic 'Target 2006' storyline - oh, for the seemingly halcyon days of childhood when 2005/6 really seemed like a lifetime away, yes?! (Let alone 2020...!!!).
I remember seeing on a kid rhino dvd collection interview with Flint Dille. That at the end of season two of the cartoon. They felt they ran the story well dry for stories in the present.1985-86. so to come up with brand new ideas they set the movie and season three into the future.
Just bought my complete Bruticus. Fantastic transformer.
Congrats!
Reliving my youth thanks to your vids. Awesome. And some bonus appreciation for those RoboCop references... 😎👍
That's some impressive collection room!
Thanks. Cheers.
I had to rewind Bumblebee surrounded by those Joes 3x...nice.
Classic Mercy video! Keep it up 🙂
Pretty Cool!!! That went by fast...Looking forward to the Next Installment! Always enjoy your stuff!!!
TRANSFORMERS ARE BACK
As a kid the combiner teams were my favorite, I never got any transformers (except for 2 that I got later on when I was older) of my own so I played with w/e the other kids on the block had, which wasn't much haha. I did catch a glimpse in the video of one of only two transformers I ever had. The little "spaceship" looking green bot at 8:00. I hadn't seen my little friend since the 80s. Thanks for the memories! Great job on the video production, it shows!
Super cool video as always!
EXCELLENT
Loved the Wheeled Warriors easter egg
Thanks Mike! Great job as always! Looking forward to part 2!
great video Michael, can´t wait for second part
Epic stuff!
I’ve been looking forward to this. :D
6:55 Menosaur (sp?) just looks like a bunch of cars stuck together.
Nice work Mike cant wait for the rest. Hope you'll show the extra modes for the team leaders. I just recently learned that they all had base modes that could be linked to the cities. Now I'm thinking, like Scattershot & Hun-Gur would they be considered triple changers or not? I just saw a diagram of Hun-Gur's 3rd form, which I can see why fans would say "Nope" about him, but to me it looked like a repair bay for the Terrorcons, like Hotspot's or Motormaster's - or perhaps w/ it's arms and layout he becomes also a holding area/torture device for Autobot prisoners. I argue yes, akin to Tracks & Perceptor. I know a lot of fans say no, but I'm thinking yes.
9:34 I remember playing with that as a kid
oh man i love your reviews so much
Thanks Alek!
These videos are so good!
Alright let's go a part 1 of 4 transformer series can't this TH-camr be a goddess also the torso components for the combiners could turn into a small battle platform
Amazing stuff!!
My favorite was Superion. I was really into jets and airplanes when I was a kid, so this was like a dream come true lol
And the best gestalt is....Defensor! He was a real chunky bloke, especially in the arms.
It's been a out a year since your 1985 video. Please tell me next transformers video won't take another year! Love your videos!
Great 4 part series. Got a new subscriber out of me!
I LOVE THIS TH-cam CHANNEL thanks for That wonderfull Video l will wait for the Otters
Thanks! :D
Only one I was lucky enough to complete as a child was bruticus.I did have all the leaders(combiner centerpieces)silverbolt,motormaster and hotspot so I had plenty of the combiner heads,hands and feet.
Always love your videos! Watching this makes me really want a true MP Defensor. Great work as usual.
7:56 Warpath wasn't ready for that mighty kick ROTFL
This was a fantastic video. :D I have knock offs of G1 Superion, Bruticus, Defensor, and Devastator. :D
Can’t wait for part 2
