Now I'm wondering if Scattershot and Hungarr can connect to the cities in their 3rd modes. I know Scattershot can go from robot to space fighter to a cannon and Hungarr from monster to robot to what no one was sure but like Hot Spot & Motormaster into a repair bay I believe.
I knew Metroplex could combine with Silverbolt and Hot Spot, but never actually got to see what it looked like. Thank you for finally showing that feature off.
I purposely didn't watch this series until all 4 parts were complete, so that I could binge watch. Truly fantastic job and outstanding production value. I highly enjoyed the whole series. Thank you once again Mr.Mercy and thanks to the Patreon Tribe.
Great series, looking forward to next year! Although I will say a personal opinion of mine, I actually liked the Unicron prototype, I don't know why I just liked the aesthetic on him, I thought it fit well with the toy style of the 80s Transformers, but then again, that's just me. We all have opinions.
Thanks so much for the series! Thanks for the call out as a new patreon as well. Quality videos like these are why I'm willing to support what you're doing for the community!
I remember back in 86 my dad brought trypticon home. not for my brother and I to play with but for my dad to play with. back then transformers were such a new toy idea that even adults collected them. my dad and his navy buddies were always trying to one up each other on which transformer they found at the toy stores. miss those days
Loved the entire episode but especially when you had the camera angle looking up to showcase how big Metroplex and Tripticon were compared to regular transformers- my fondest memories of Christmas that year revolve around getting Trypticon that year - thanks again for the great year in review!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the history of Transformers from 1984-1986. I first knew the original G1 Transformers through Generation 2, and I always resonated with them. I even relate to how Optimus Prime was a hero in your eyes. Even I could see his kind and gentle heart when I was watching him through Generation 2. Well done.
Awesome video, this brings back all of my childhood memories. Never knew the main combiners could join with the cities. Have to pull out my transformers and try it. Love all your videos.
Could you imagine playing a drinking game, of taking a shot everytime there's an animation error in the episode Carnage in C minor? You'd be dead after two minutes!
Maaayn, thank you Micheal Mercy for the Transformers throwback! It brought back memories back then! Especially, when we had show and tell back in elementary school. Now, I want to watch the series all over again! Thanks again!
man your videos bring me back...i remember my dad...yes my dad bought himself trypticon and brought him home. he let me play with him and the rest of his transformers. hours of fun with the citybots. thanks for the video keep'em coming
Metroplex making eggs. That got me. Great series. Your production is excellent. I am old Transformer fan of G1 era. I learned so much about my beloved childhood toy.
Thank you Michael for this awesome video and this amazing series. 1986 was unquestionably the BIGGEST year for me as a Transformers kid. From this video, I was lucky enough to get Metroplex, Trypticon and Reflector. 1987 was also a BIG year for me for 2 specific Transformers and I look forward to your history of 1987 video. On a side note, during these crazy and unprecedented times, I'm very grateful and lucky to have the opportunity to become a Patreon Power Master. :-) Nerdmaste and ROLL OUT!!!
3 of my favorite characters and toys. The city bots always did offer some great playability. To be both a playset and an action figure is the best feature of all. Great series Michael!
I love how they use to package the transformers toys in styrofoam. It looks better in the package that way plus it protects them better too. Makes the toys look expensive too for some reason , which they are now of course. Nice video.
What a great year for figures. Hot Rod Ultra Magnus Superion Bruticus Predaking Galvatron Metroplex Trypticon Defensor Blurr Springer Cyclonus Scourge Menasor Rodimus and more, so many great toys
Michael, I didn't watch all of the year editions of the g1 Transformers that you had created until today. Really fantastic work. Really resonates with me personally...and I really appreciate you sharing. Great stuff!
This four parter has been a good walk down memory lane for me and saved this last part for a Sunday watch with a nice cup of tea. Thanks for putting this one together Michael 👍Have a great day good brother and an even better one tomorrow 👍
Well Done, Michael!!! And now I know, and Knowing is Half the Battle...I think? The engineering that went into these pieces was incredible!!! "Fascinating" to quote Mr. Spock!!! Thanks again for another walk down memory lane! A most entertaining distraction from everyday Drudgery...Take Care until next time!!!
Amazing finale. Trypricon was always my favorite city bot. The Takara Goodbye Convoy set is one of my to-get grails though near impossible to find. I'm already looking foward to the 1987 edition!
That was wonderful Michael! What a cool trip. Only found out a couple of years ago that Trypticon was voiced by Brad Garrett who of course played Ray's brother Robert in Everybody Loves Raymond. Would love to see a MM special on the voice artists who also played a massive part in shaping our childhood. Especially for us 'Old Timers'. I met Paul Eiding (Perceptor) at a Comicon. Cool guy. He mentioned That he based Perceptor's voice on C3PO. Anyway, another great job Michael!
Awesome video. I didn't know the combiners can connect to Metroplex and Trypticon, that is new to me. I love the humor in the videos, great laughs from it. Thumbs up for the video.
This retrospective was great! I liked the first Transformers and also after the movie came out with the show taking place in a future time. Cool to see the different toys released then and even later!
I remember seeing Metroplex for $42 which was a TON. My friend told me about the way to combine the Aerialbots with Metroplex but I thought he was making it up. So I looked at the instructions and sure enough. Later found Trypticon on clearance. Still have them both
The Unicron prototype reminds me of that scene from the Transformers Headmasters show. Where they showed Galvatron fused with Earth, or as I like to call him, Fat Gal-bert.
Great job mike. I knew about scramble city but didnt know the toy gestalts combined with the city bots. Plus i could have sworn reflector was available before 86. I know i had him as a kid but i remember him being out well before the movie came out
Outstanding video Michael Mercy!!!!!!!! :D Thank you for showing Hot Spot's repair station, I have not found any images of how it transforms. :D Looking forward to the 1987 history. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
Great job on all of your videos! I’ve had a blast reliving my childhood, and I even reached out to eBay and picked up a couple old friends ☺️ Thank you!
These videos bring back a lot of good memories, many toys i had when i was young... I havent seen the sea creatures that can be 1 big robot that i owned, but i guess they will be in a next video
Another awesome addition to your history of Transformers series, Michael. Clearly a lot of time and effort goes into each one. Have a great weekend. Cheers M
Thanks as usual always fun to see your video sure helped me with the silverbolt /metroplex part. Always bring good memories. Thanks for sharing your passion
I had mostly small Transformers, but Metroplex, Blaster and the Constructicons were the heart of my collection. I eventually broke Metroplex at the waste unfortunately.
Some of us actually still want to see that Unicron released, maybe as an Encore release. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. That's actually the Hasbro prototype, Takara was working on their own that was very similar, but it was smaller, had electronics, and was green! I've always theorized that the reason Unicron was never released was because he was supposed to be a massive planet, but Fort Max was already on the horizon and would have dwarfed him so they scrapped it. (BTW, I work for Seibertron.com so I hope Ryan doesn't mind me saying you're welcome!)
This is a great series for those who wants to more about G1 and I wonder if he will discuss the beast wars toy line since that’s technically a part of G1
Been watching u for a long time, I've been going back to these vids to figure out what figs to collect (show only) and you have really helped, all I have left is 1987, and maybe 1988? I wouldn't know I'm only 16 lol (04 baby) but I do hope to see 87 soon, thanks as always sir, I also enjoy your real talks, very much appreciated and inspired me to do the right thing. Anyway thx for amazing content sir, god bless n rock on in the name of ACDC 🤘
![The History of Transformers: 1986 Edition [PART 3 of 4]](/img/n.gif)
So THAT’S what that little white ramp is for! That’s seriously been bugging me for the last 35 years!
Me too I knew about trypticon but didn’t know about metroplex now all i need is a hot spot and unslaugh to complete both cities
Now I'm wondering if Scattershot and Hungarr can connect to the cities in their 3rd modes. I know Scattershot can go from robot to space fighter to a cannon and Hungarr from monster to robot to what no one was sure but like Hot Spot & Motormaster into a repair bay I believe.
Same as well. But i dont have metroplex.lol
I knew Metroplex could combine with Silverbolt and Hot Spot, but never actually got to see what it looked like. Thank you for finally showing that feature off.

I would've waited an eternity for this.
It's over Prime.
@@InfinityBlock192 NEVER!
Optimus. Forgive me
How do you feel, "Mighty Megatron"? (kicks him)
@@nathangitz2674 Astrotrain transform and get us out of here.
I’ve loved this series. Well done & thank you Michael!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Completely in agreement!
True awesome series 1000%
Agreed I love the series too
They definitely went big in 1986! This series has been a wonderful way to kick off this summer.
Thanks Droz! Glad you enjoyed it!
I wanted Trypticon so badly as a kid. I have my original Metroplex still and got a Trypticon a couple of years ago that works and was only $15!
No way! What a steal!
No way! That's awesome!
TY many memories of being a kid has been rekindled from this series.
I do love the engineering used into making the toys
Thanks Michael for your hard work on this and it’s humor!!!!!
Great series, looking forward to next year! Although I will say a personal opinion of mine, I actually liked the Unicron prototype, I don't know why I just liked the aesthetic on him, I thought it fit well with the toy style of the 80s Transformers, but then again, that's just me.

Thanks! G1 Unicron's planet mode looked good. Can you imagine running around the house devouring everything in your path with it back in 86? 😁
Gotta admit, I've always admired Tryticon. I love base sets anyways but he's so cool
A perfect ending to great series!👍😁
I have really enjoyed these brother! Thank you for taking the time to make these.👍😁
Thanks Bill! My pleasure!
Thank you so much for reliving G1.
Wait, Silverbolt had a fear of heights, right? So, then he might PREFER to be a grounded take-off ramp?
MY MIND IS BLOWN
I got Skylynx for Christmas as a lad. I was also lucky enough to get the Reflector mail-away. I wish I still had them. They were great toys.
I laughed when he said that's scrambled power and he was making eggs lol
Thanks so much for the series! Thanks for the call out as a new patreon as well. Quality videos like these are why I'm willing to support what you're doing for the community!
Thanks good brother, I appreciate your support! 🙏

Could you imagine playing a drinking game, of taking a shot everytime there's an animation error in the episode Carnage in C minor? You'd be dead after two minutes!
That was the lowest point of the animation that season.
Great to see those UK comic covers, I remember them all, the stories really were excellent.
Maaayn, thank you Micheal Mercy for the Transformers throwback! It brought back memories back then! Especially, when we had show and tell back in elementary school. Now, I want to watch the series all over again! Thanks again!
Man, reflector was only 10 bucks and two robot points. What a steal. This video was awesome start to finish one of your best. Thanks 🙏🏻
I love trypticon. Thank you for the 4 part series Michael keep up the awesome work
Thank you Omar!
4:05 eggs-ellent joke, Michael!
man your videos bring me back...i remember my dad...yes my dad bought himself trypticon and brought him home. he let me play with him and the rest of his transformers. hours of fun with the citybots. thanks for the video keep'em coming
Megatron being put down: I still function!! I'm still A-LIIIVE!!! I'm talking to you right now???

Thanks Joe! ‘87s going to be a fun one to do as well. Headmasters! 😁
Michael: "So now you could have races between Omega Supreme, Skylinx, and Tripticon."
Me: (watching very slow "race") I'm gonna get some coffee.
Go to a coffee shop. Drink it there. You've got plenty of time. :D
my money's on Sky Lynx, he's got double the legpower
I like how Omega is like, "you know what? You guys have fun, I'm going over here."
All those years I had all those transformers and never knew I could do the scramble city transformation. There was no internet in the 80s lol
3 of my favorite characters and toys. The city bots always did offer some great playability. To be both a playset and an action figure is the best feature of all. Great series Michael!
Thanks!
Great job Michael another passionate, time consuming series! Thank you for your dedication ! nerdmaste 🙏🙏
I love how they use to package the transformers toys in styrofoam. It looks better in the package that way plus it protects them better too. Makes the toys look expensive too for some reason , which they are now of course. Nice video.
What a great year for figures. Hot Rod Ultra Magnus Superion Bruticus Predaking Galvatron Metroplex Trypticon Defensor Blurr Springer Cyclonus Scourge Menasor Rodimus and more, so many great toys
Michael, I didn't watch all of the year editions of the g1 Transformers that you had created until today. Really fantastic work. Really resonates with me personally...and I really appreciate you sharing. Great stuff!
I never new about the Scramble power. Pretty cool.
This was a good series now it finally reaches it's climatic end thank you Michael for making this series
That was one of my favorite TV series in the 80s on the weekends.
My two favorite ones were Trypticon and Sky Lynx, they're still awesome original G1 toys I have kept all these years.
That bird thing that you talk about (Sky Lynx) is a griffon in combined mode and it looks AWESOME!!
This four parter has been a good walk down memory lane for me and saved this last part for a Sunday watch with a nice cup of tea. Thanks for putting this one together Michael 👍Have a great day good brother and an even better one tomorrow 👍
Well Done, Michael!!! And now I know, and Knowing is Half the Battle...I think? The engineering that went into these pieces was incredible!!! "Fascinating" to quote Mr. Spock!!! Thanks again for another walk down memory lane! A most entertaining distraction from everyday Drudgery...Take Care until next time!!!
I genuinely didn't know Metroplex had Scramble City compatability. Learn something new everyday!
12:09 Damn, all the bots just started teaming on bullying you.
the epic conclusion to 1986 - fantastic video Michael, really enjoyed the race (my money was on Sky Lynx all along).
Great series I have rewatched all of the previous episodes in anticipation.
Great job Michael!Memories of my childhood came flooding back into my brain.
Amazing finale. Trypricon was always my favorite city bot. The Takara Goodbye Convoy set is one of my to-get grails though near impossible to find. I'm already looking foward to the 1987 edition!
That was wonderful Michael! What a cool trip. Only found out a couple of years ago that Trypticon was voiced by Brad Garrett who of course played Ray's brother Robert in Everybody Loves Raymond.

Thanks Audie! Brad was also the voice of Hulk Hogan on the Rock n Wrestling cartoon. 😁
Awesome video. I didn't know the combiners can connect to Metroplex and Trypticon, that is new to me. I love the humor in the videos, great laughs from it. Thumbs up for the video.
This retrospective was great! I liked the first Transformers and also after the movie came out with the show taking place in a future time. Cool to see the different toys released then and even later!
I love how you just have FUN with your videos
Can you die from nostalgia? Thanks for the journey! I remember/forgot so many of these... Thanks
Can't believe I forgot Trypticon
2:08 - I'm not gonna lie, you actually got me there! I nearly fell off my chair before the reveal! :D
I remember seeing Metroplex for $42 which was a TON. My friend told me about the way to combine the Aerialbots with Metroplex but I thought he was making it up. So I looked at the instructions and sure enough. Later found Trypticon on clearance. Still have them both
This whole month was amazing due to this series. Thank you.
Thanks Byron!
The Unicron prototype reminds me of that scene from the Transformers Headmasters show. Where they showed Galvatron fused with Earth, or as I like to call him, Fat Gal-bert.
Another masterful production, Mr. Mercy. Loved the scrambled 🍳 bit! HEHEHE!
Great job mike. I knew about scramble city but didnt know the toy gestalts combined with the city bots. Plus i could have sworn reflector was available before 86. I know i had him as a kid but i remember him being out well before the movie came out
Thanks! Reflector wasn’t available in North America until ‘86 as a mail away as per TF Wiki.
I can’t wait for history of Transformers 1987 through 1990 edition.
That was a top notch series Michael, very entertaining and much appreciated!
Outstanding video Michael Mercy!!!!!!!! :D Thank you for showing Hot Spot's repair station, I have not found any images of how it transforms. :D Looking forward to the 1987 history. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
Your videos are awesome. I love all the effects and the jokes. I can't wait for TF '87!
Great job on all of your videos! I’ve had a blast reliving my childhood, and I even reached out to eBay and picked up a couple old friends ☺️ Thank you!
Its cool to see the titans get redesigned into a modern better version
LOL!! 1986 was the golden year of G1. But I'm looking forward to the 1987 edition. Great Job mang!
Thanks Ron!
This brought back so many memories, thank you
Wow! Most of your G1 transformers are in like-new condition!
These videos bring back a lot of good memories, many toys i had when i was young... I havent seen the sea creatures that can be 1 big robot that i owned, but i guess they will be in a next video
Another awesome addition to your history of Transformers series, Michael. Clearly a lot of time and effort goes into each one. Have a great weekend. Cheers M
Thanks!
Thanks as usual always fun to see your video sure helped me with the silverbolt /metroplex part.
Always bring good memories.
Thanks for sharing your passion
Amazing lesson in Transformers history. Love love love! Thank you!
Love this thank you so much ☺️ til’ all are fun! 💯🙌🏽😄
What a lovely TF collection and TF channel I will get to enjoy very much.
ALWAYS love and appreciate your Transformer vids! Thank you, Michael!
Thanks!
I had mostly small Transformers, but Metroplex, Blaster and the Constructicons were the heart of my collection. I eventually broke Metroplex at the waste unfortunately.
Trypticon is the best happy have 3 of him with the boxes great videos Michael 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Yay finally I have waited since the 85 edition was uploaded
This is pretty cool
Wow, I never realised the combiner torsos joined with the city bots... that's crazy!
Some of us actually still want to see that Unicron released, maybe as an Encore release. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. That's actually the Hasbro prototype, Takara was working on their own that was very similar, but it was smaller, had electronics, and was green!

Amazing work on these videos! Thank you for such great quality and information, truly great work!
Thanks Zackary!
Thanks for this bring back memories of being a child 😂😂 Ahh enjoy your youth while you are young
I like Trypticon. He looks like an evil mechanical Godzilla.... wait that’s already a thing.
Dragonzord?
Amazing! Always loved unicron and it wss cool to see that prototype.
Loved this series man, I always look forward to your videos Mike!
This is a great series for those who wants to more about G1 and I wonder if he will discuss the beast wars toy line since that’s technically a part of G1
THT always bring a smile to my face. Looking forward to 1987 video. You will be doing a video about TFCon 2020?
It has finally come
Brad Garrett should return as Trypticon. Maybe as the final boss in Rise of the Beast
That shot at 2:15 was amazing. If only! 😉
Well done Micheal it was great to watch and made me laugh.
You've brought back some fantastic memories for me THANKYOU 😇🙏❤ Hope you are well bro
