Hi guys.. This is Lars, the animator that created this video.. It's pretty humbling reading "I used to watch this as a kid" when I was 22 when I made this animation.. 😂 It was my exam-animation from 3D-Design-Class at a Norwegian school called Noroff. I apologize for some of the parts just flying in.. I ran out of time on the project, and had to do some shortcuts 😂🙈🤷🏻♂️ Yes, the camera-shakes are way too much, the music is all kinds of wrong, as well as other issues.. But keep in mind that I'd only been doing 3D animation for about 8months when I did this, and I only had a few weeks to get it done. As far as the yellow colors.. This was simply to keep them looking more real-life.. (Like many Cat-machines). The green and purple just didn't quite work for the look I wanted.. But! It's weird that this video still exists on youtube after all these years, that it's gathered this insane amount of views and comments, and that it seems to provide alot of you with some nostalgic sentiment. The same goes for me!
I must say as a CAD modeler myself, this person has some skill. There is great detail. For an example, hands, even robot hands, are difficult to get in proportion let alone look good. Also, I realy like the subtle use of BIT mapping to show a little wear and tear on the vehicles. Camera work was really cool too. I loved the pan shot that eventually shows Devastator's head. I bet the models themselves was a good chunk of memory! Great work!
i don’t remember it but my dad apparently made me watched it everyday until 2010 then i decided to watched it everyday until 2012 and now i’m 2023 i still remember it and i searched for it
0:52 Hooray! No wrecking balls! Also, looks more like G2 Devastator. G1 was lime green and purple, but G2 was yellow and black, like real-life construction vehicles.
So many kids saying that "this isn't Devastator" because they only know about the Bay films. This is based off of the Generation 2 Devastator figure, and the video was released before the film Devastator existed.
Shoutout to all the kids who had the shit scared out of them by this video. Something about the audio and everything slamming into place... Man... this video was nuts.
Same here, this video were part of my 'childhood memories' along those animations of old :') along watching Powerpuff Girls Z. Wish to relive those good old days, when you are just an innocent kid. Really happy to see few people watch this again because of nostalgia :'( Wish to be a kid again for even just a day. No worries, free from stress, and innocent...
Well, in the toy the spare parts combine into a jet machine, same as Roller and Trawler being independent units when Optimus is detached. Probably the jet locks on the constructicons and disassembles to supply the extra bits. Of course, in the cartoon the extra bits simply slide out of whateverspace...
alarkhar I'm confused . . . I've been a Transformers boffin since 1985 but I've never heard of 'trawler'?! Is that a character from BW, TF Prime or one of the other lines I never followed?

pokemonsdoom to be fair, the only difference between the constructicons in G1 and G2 is color. Everything else is the same. Personalities may be different, but again, everything else was pretty much the same. To clarify, I haven't seen G2, but from what I have heard, the constructicons are pretty much the same in both shows.
+CivicMonkey The G1 Devastator in all honestly looked lame and a bit weird. The dude had a SHOVEL for his entire right foot. And sure this one does too but at least it looks like a foot. Besides which of the two lives up to its name? A green generic robot that look about the same as the rest of the deceptions or this monstrosity that can shred everything in its path to pieces? (It destroyed an entire pyramid, could the original do that?) (This is more then likely based off of G1 'stator.)
+TF2 Team Captain soldier with a sufficiently lethal specialized Killstreak Rocket launcher. First of all, the original was a cartoon, and the animators did a lot of simplification to everything. I’m ok with a shovel for a foot. It looked like a combination of construction equipment merged together. Bay’s did as well, but it was just a blur. The only thing that bay decided to provide detail on, was the childish use of giving him “balls”. Bay also turn Devastator into Mega Maid. And like Bay himself, his Devastator really sucked. Then in the last film, he flipped the switch to blows.
