"Why did [the Dinobots] never update themselves?" So you're telling me if you had the option of turning into a dinosaur, and the option of NOT turning into a dinosaur, you wouldn't take the option of turning into a dinosaur?
The Dinobots origins vary between continuities. In g1 cartoon Wheeljack built them after seeing a dino exhibit in a museum, whereas in the comics they were wokeup early to fight against Shockwave in Marvels Savage Lands. They got stuck in a tar pit for millions of years. Ben is also right, Optimus saving the Autobots to "The Touch" is one of the greatest moments in movie history!
I just checked and it turns out that The Touch plays during the Optimus & Megatron fight and also plays as Hot Rod is transformed into Rodimus Prime by the Matrix of Leadership!
@@DJThermite You are correct :) I may've watched that movie enough that I can quote all the entire thing. The soundtrack was frikking awesome. So awesome a bunch of the Vince DiCola tracks got blatently ripped off for the C64 version of Turrican 2! :)
Yesss TCGs are my favourite genre of tabletop. I'd love to see them try out random things. Dragonball, Buddyfight, Vanguard are all pretty fun straight out the starter deck.
So I’ve just spent the last hour or so on the Transformers wiki, and one thing I can say for certain is: Transformers lore is WAY too damn complicated.
I live this as a massive (retroactive) Transformers fan, this whole vid makes me nostaligic for the OG series. Plus I love the actual card gameplay, so yeah, its a win win. Would love to see more!!!
Tom you made some misplays but you still managed to eek out a win. Firstly Swoop shouldn’t have been able to transform after Slug attacked for the turn. Since you only get an additional attack, you don’t get any other actions like transforming or playing cards. Grimlock is a finisher because he does spillover damage so he should never attack first. Attacking with your more tanky guys should take priority since they become the only viable attack targets for your opponent and you get more turns to set up your main attacker. Really glad you guys played this and hope it comes back for more episodes
So I've been playing this game for the past 2 weeks and I can say that it is very fun. Playing this at my local community Card game shop, I have been getting together with other people to play this and talking about deck combinations. Definitely worth getting into.
My favorite origin story for the dinobots is from Transformers: Cybertron. Where the dinobots are native to a jungle planet, with no affiliation with Earth, along with beastbots, and Optimus Prime ended up getting a gorilla transformation. Fun fact this series also had a story arc where Megatron died and came back as a ghost that couldn't be hurt by anyone and gets the abilities to dissolve cybertronians by touching them and reforming them into upgraded versions of themselves.
Like you guys get Grimlock and Megatron Living Weapon in the same box. That is an amazing pull. I have bought like 40 booster packs and still have not gotten either of them.
A little lore on the dinobots: in the OG cartoon, from what I remember, they were created by Ratchet and Wheeljack in response to being outnumbered by the decepticons, I think their more basic tech was due to the autobots not having good creation tech on a literal wrecked ship, can’t quite blame em there. Edit: Also coming from a relatively young 17 year old, the transformers movie absolutely still holds up XD
Basically the dino bots were creates by spike and spark plug along with prowl because all Autobots and decepticons run off energon and they were running low and Autobots were very weak so they created the dino bots so they didn't run off energon and they saved the day and the reason they stay in dino form is apparently they r stronger in dino form
The Autobots wanted to create the Dinbobots as close to the Dinosaurs as possible. Meaning: make them very strong, but also with tiny brains / rather stupid.
So I play a lot of TCGs, and this seems pretty fun but it also seems insanely unbalanced. Maybe a good game night game, but not something you want to spend too much on.
You guys should play Heroclix! Dc, marvel, tmnt, power rangers, lord of the rings, and soon wwe and dbz.. and theres a lot more im sure. but i would love to watch you guys play it.
Oh my goodness, was that a quick edit into a clip of something thats being refrenced in conversation so the viewers can see what is being talked about in a humorous way? Did Josh break free from his editing dungeon for a split second before the angory whip cracked?
Tom's first attack should have been 9 -1 for armour but Ben put 9 on instead of 8 then didn't realise when healing it and put it to 8. I am I correct that was wrong?
While this and the star wars game that is similar I'm not really a fan of. More rng than normal tcgs. But with Tom and Ben. Plus a few other yogs I will watch more lol.
Ben if you see this watch "transformers prime" I would highly recommend it. No idea why it was on the hub/(nickelooden like channel) because it was awesome it had everything!!!! innuendos, explosions, fucking amazing story and acting. I watch G1 and the unicron trilogy and would have to say it is on par with those. Sadly The Hub canceled it do to it no being more child friendly.
Guess who publishes this game...it's the same publisher as Magic. Wizards of the coast has always burned lots of money on online promotion for their games - that's why there's so many Magic the Gathering ad shows on various nerd youtube channels.
@@ChestOfDoom a game of yugioh and a game of magic or this is fine. And I never said i want FTK meta, they'd know it's boring and I'm sure yogs prefer casual
the problem is that the game in general has become 50 million abilities then your opponent cant do anything because literally breathing has been blocked by some card affect

If memory serves it is Rodimus Prime (Hotrod) who saves the Autobots to Stan Bush’s “The Touch” at the end of the Transformers movie
I just checked and it turns out that The Touch plays during the Optimus & Megatron fight and also plays as Hot Rod is transformed into Rodimus Prime by the Matrix of Leadership!
So basically Stan Bush saved the Autobots lol
I think my favourite version of the dinobots is from the War for / Fall of Cybertron continuity

Love the Doncon shirt Tom is wearing.
Trying out lots of different TCG's would be a good series :)

So I’ve just spent the last hour or so on the Transformers wiki, and one thing I can say for certain is: Transformers lore is WAY too damn complicated.
As the next step, I suggest you delve deep into Warhammer 40k lore. Actually, start at 30k in the timeline. >:-)
lore? lol
Its like the old star wars lore. If you werent reading everthing since return of the jedi you were royally screwed
Depends what lore you read, there are many continuities
It’s complicated because there are many continuities. It’s not one big universe.
I live this as a massive (retroactive) Transformers fan, this whole vid makes me nostaligic for the OG series. Plus I love the actual card gameplay, so yeah, its a win win. Would love to see more!!!
I used to watch the original Transformers movie at least once a day, everyday. best Transformers movie period

Really glad you guys played this and hope it comes back for more episodes
I love how they talk enthusiastically about Transformers
When Ben looked directly at me I was stunned
This was great! Would love some more matches with different decks and bots
It's good to see the Legends art making a comeback.
Tom???? and Ben??? are we somehow gona get WARHAMMERY
The Royalty free version of The Touch playing in the background, is a nice TOUCH...
I'll see myself out.
Sorry to Jump in on you like this but I heard a Van Halen song
Today I learned that, in England, Slug had to have a different name. Although that does make his American name much more funny.
Yes because his original name was slag which in England is an offensive slang term for a woman
I had transformers books, he was called Slag .. am annoyed at this change
I was wondering why he was called slug lol
This game is so good imo. Such simple yet deep systems and fun interactions
Yeah Its that Simple to learn, hard to master technique that really intrigues me

I didn't realize how much of a G1 fan Ben is.
YOU’VE GOT THE TOUCH, YOU’VE GOT THE POWER!!!!!! Best movie sequence ever
Ah! the classic paper beats rock meta! What was Tom thinking?
Bought my booster box last week, its an excellent game. Pain in the ass to get sleeves be warned though.
Are the deck cards not normal size?
how dare the two of you degrade the Cone Heads the most valiant of the Seekers!
I’m going to go watch the old cartoons again. Oh boy I loved those back in the day
I think I am one of the few people who loved G1 Transformers AND loves ALL of the films...
It's crazy how card games and board games are coming back so strong.
Honestly as a 16 year old kid I totally agree that was a strong as scene. Great movie og transformers
You guys explained this perfectly and better than Team Convenant lol.
these guys playing yugioh would be fucking fantastic. i feel like tom would really get into a rank 10 train deck

Another round?
I kinda want an animated version of Tom and Ben's imaginary Transformers episode
You got the touch in the background soooo gooood
Ok, FINE. I'll buy the damn packs. This video sold me so damn hard.
You've got the touch!
Turbo revvin young punk!
Would watch this again
loving the card games here anf on lewis and ben
Where's are Keyforge coverage guys!?
it looks AMAZING!!!!
Its not out until next week?
But here have been loads of promotional events and promotion decks sent out.
These guys should have some!!!
Would love to see more of this!
Hope they revisit this.
The Doncon shirt😂😂
Grimlock like power sword

Cthulu as well
Damn it. Now I want to watch the movies
I hope you can assemble devastator in the TCG
I must get these
Oh my goodness, was that a quick edit into a clip of something thats being refrenced in conversation so the viewers can see what is being talked about in a humorous way? Did Josh break free from his editing dungeon for a split second before the angory whip cracked?
I found this quite fun.
It's time get Angory- Sorry, I meant its time to get Transformy!
Tom's first attack should have been 9 -1 for armour but Ben put 9 on instead of 8 then didn't realise when healing it and put it to 8. I am I correct that was wrong?
More please!!
More bots just seems better in this game, having a whole extra attack phase seems too good.
I cant seem to find the 2 player starter set anywhere online
They're just playing with a single player deck that they've split in two.
The autobot starter set has rules inside so you can play it as a 2 player demo game by splitting the deck and characters between the 2 players
They have a bumblebee movie coming out
Is it weird that when Ben pointed at camera and said "You've never played before?" I replied out loud, "No daddy?"... 🤔
If you wanna see that scene Ben is talking about : th-cam.com/video/7vR5RB2_-V8/w-d-xo.html

the Dinobots were made on earth by wheeljack. ps i saw that movie and i am 15
i also saw that show that it was based on

I forgot to mention that I am 23 and bought the entire seasons of prime because I liked it so much.
Plz do more!!
Shouldn't Ben choose to go to 2nd since he only has 2 guys
Love the Lewis and Ben combo!
You guys really should play Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions and Keyforge.
Me grimlock sad.
I liked the old format better :(
Jump!
Ill rip out your optics!
autobots are evil!
I dont think the one called slug used to be slag i thing sluge used to be slag the bracio no one eve remembers him
Grimlock is a gay robot. He's got a Junkion boyfriend.
It's a bit weird that the Autobots are fighting each other but whatever.
I'm sure there was an episode where it happened
playing a transformers card game of all things as a different game to MTG, instead of playing yugioh?!
Guess who publishes this game...it's the same publisher as Magic. Wizards of the coast has always burned lots of money on online promotion for their games - that's why there's so many Magic the Gathering ad shows on various nerd youtube channels.
Cool, still want some YGO
oh boy, cant wait to see them use a million abilities on the first turn and fill the field then end the game on the next turn, sounds fun
@@ChestOfDoom a game of yugioh and a game of magic or this is fine. And I never said i want FTK meta, they'd know it's boring and I'm sure yogs prefer casual
