  • @Jetblast01
    @Jetblast01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    Honestly, the manga version of Deathsaurus makes sense considering the sheer size of the station. Okay, I get G1 often was lacking on the amount of background characters besides copypasta seekers, but the idea that the whole place is a home for way-ward Decepticons that have no part in Megatron's desire for power is interesting (like the Autobot pacifist planet, before Rodimus blew it up proving why them wanting to avoid Cybertron's war was a good thing in the first place). It's an idea that hasn't really been touched on the Decepticons since Blitzwing and Octane defected from the Decepticons, one to save Cybertron and the other to escape abuse.

  • @robotlorekeeper9880
    @robotlorekeeper9880 2 ปีที่แล้ว +232

    Honestly, this is why I adore the big picture the Basics provides. I was aware of the dry fact that the Victory manga gave a much more sympathetic motivation for ol’ DS. But focusing on how the work as a whole differed from its sister series in his characterisation- by taking an aspect of his bio the latter barely used in a different direction and BUILT to the reveal of the Decepticon civilians and subsequent happier ending by portraying him differently throughout makes it SO much more compelling. I see people accuse this series of just copying TFwiki, but a wiki writeup wouldn’t give you this (plus, like... who d’you think wrote the wiki?). Transformers is, after a toy franchise, narrative fiction, and I think online discussion between fans like myself, who are in too deep to remember what TF looked like from the outside, often gets boiled down to essentially out of context compilations? Not “man the reveal of Esmeral makes me like Deathsaurus even more” but “lol this guys name is crazy did you know some japanese comic gave him a wife what were they on amirite”. The ideas of a cruel villain battling a brave hero across the galaxy to a bitter end and of two former friends reconciling over a shared desire to protect the people they care about are equally fascinating and exciting to me. Between this and earthspark I think I’m remembering why Transformers excites me in the first place, so thanks.

    So many ways of interpreting Deathsaurus' name yet honestly all of them are all so cool and menacing. Fit for a Decepticon leader. Imo, I was always more invested in Deathsaurus' and Star Saber's rivalry than I was with Optimus and Megatron.
    Deathsaurus and just Transformers Victory is honestly really slept on by the fandom tbh. It's honestly my favorite Tf show and I hope that we can eventually see a return to Deathsaurus and the Victory cast with the Legacy toyline eventually

Shadowmaru and I want to say Kagero we’re Sixshot, Goldran had Scorponok and Sky Garry as Sasorigan and DeathGarryGan… Dagwon had some Victory character who I’m not familiar with Galaxy Shuttle as Thunder Dagwon but modified to combine with Dag Thunder’s motorcycle to form Thunder Dagwon

    I get to know Deathsaurus via his Botcon 2005 toy which IMO is pretty good modern imagining of him even to this day.
    While his Combiner Wars toy is adequate western release though could think backstory how Dezarus came to be.
    A) Deathsaurus, Leozack and Jallguar were fused into single being which lead the creation of Dezarus.
    or
    B) Due Jallguar been killed, Leozack badly wounded and Deathsaurus struggling to be alive; Deathsaurus and Leozack were rebuild into one and giving combiner ability to make new Liokaiser while giving Deathsaurus full control of new identity.
    I'm bit surprised that Takara didn't do they version of Dezarus by giving proper Deathsaurus deco.

    Combiner Wars Deathsaurus was allegedly supposed to be merged with Leozack and Jaruga, hence his colour scheme and how much of the combined mode he forms. Normally Jaruga would be the hips and thighs, while Leozack would be the torso and head.

    Deathsaurus has always been my favorite Japanese TF character, I always saw him as a Terrifying villain who could very well kick megatrons ass if he wanted to. However I also like him being a leader that treats his troops fairly and is concerned about there well-being. It gives me the headcanon that while hes a intimidating and merciless warrior on the battlefield, he has a sense of honor and standards to his villainy, a lawful evil character.
    I really hope we see more Japanese TF presence in American media one of these days, and with the Haslab star saber rolling around soon, I'd imagine he wont be too far behind.

    I think it would be a stupid decision on HasTak's part not to create a modern and decent Deathsaurus figure. His rival Star Saber was funded in a relatively record time, if I remember correctly, and I can vividly imagine that it would work the same way for him. However, we're talking HasTak here, who are responsible for some questionable decisions. I think all that remains is to wait and see.
