You can't help but admire the crazy lengths of G1 cartoon retconning and absolutely bonkers storytelling the Japanese writers are prepared to go through to sell some recoloured Seacons. I genuinely love the all out mindbending multiversal stories that occur as a result.
The mental gymnastics they must go through every time they pick up a pen is absurd.
@@captainlastreo5160 Each time a JP writer picks up a pen, it's like that one Death Note scene all over again. The one where the MC writes all the names of the people he wants dead in a note book, like a crazy person
FunPub stories to lmao
Some of whom were fans becoming professionals. To the point where this can qualify as a canon fanwork.
@@twistedgaming9185 I mean, I've said this to a friend of mine and I'll say it again:
"If you love a franchise, you can make great things with it. If you don't know it, but can still make great things with, it means you understand it"
i really love to see a popular westren channels like chris covers obscure japanese media,especially considering how obscure and underrated japanese transformers are,i honestly want to see more episodes about japanese media
and don't forget about videos about some marvel characters like ultron
Bro......HOW ON EARTH HAS NO ONE ANIMATED THIS YET?!?!?! This is one of..if not the best transformers story ive heard since the animated movie. Chris....absolutely LEGENDARY JOB brotha 🙌🏽
Agreed
So basically the Subspace Emissary but with Transformers
Just imagine, a Transformers show base in a team charge with defending the multiverse from any treat, we could see all kind of Transformers in all kind of adventures
I liked how the generation selects manga basically started off sorta as a TF Isekai manga , with our protagonist Optimus (and Galvatron?) transported to another world by their god to supposedly save the universe from evil forces ,then eventually become a story with multiverse, time travel and stuff that served as a prequel to another story that was a few years ago,with the Dinobots teaming up with Abominus to Megatron soul traveled across time and space to possess a duplicate of himself to fight a past version of himself in another world.Gotta give the writers credit for able to link so much stuff into a manga that was to promote toys, honestly Im alot more impressed than confused with the plot.
I love how everything in Japan is a single thing, like Primus' design is basically "Ancient Rodimus Prime" and I love how the multiverse has designs from Transformers Animated, Prime, and etc. Even though I would have a hard time remembering everything from that continuity 😅✨
Primus being "Ancient Rodimus Prime" is an homage to Primus from the Marvel UK comics (his original form looking similar to Rodimus Prime), which led to the Lucky Draw Primus in 2004.
@@twistedgaming9185 Ah, yes! You're right! I had forgotten/hadn't noticed that! :O,
Which remind me Chris should really do a Basics on Transformers Binaltech and Transformers Alternity.
honestly,i can't still belive that sentinel and big convoy are a part of this team,which amazing as hell
Ambos son Primes, obvio.
but too perfect that an ad for Royal Mail Transformers stamps appeared at the end of this 😊
Same thing happened for me haha
A multiverseal defenders are such a unique concept,since we get a multiverse characters like sideways and vector prime,i really hope for a american adaption of this team
Unique? You haven't heard of "Binaltech", "Alternity", "Axiom Nexus", etc? They're long-standing TF stories dealing with the TF multiverse.
@@primalconvoy Well, it is an unique concept.
We already have The Convoy, which is a bunch of Optimus Primes (and some other likes Primal Prime) from different universes to defend it.
Not really everyone's doing it now marvel, DC, anime, random movies it's all the same thing but with different people and it always involves rewriting reality nothing else
@PurpleOwlAnimation the stuff that started the current trend (superhero IPs) was doing it before the current trend 😵💫
"What if Transformers, but Bionicle"
This is just The Lantern spectrum with a dash of Infinity gems
This level of storytelling is madness.
Also please do the basics on Daiakuron next
The different colors of the factions really reminds me of the Green Lantern Corps. And with multiversal crossovers being everywhere now in pop culture, I'm surprised this isn't a bigger deal.
You would be surprised the amount of times they did multiverse stuff with Transformers and some don't even know it.
Or almost like a core of Robotic Power Rangers!? I love power rangers and would love to get ALL the colors from all of the generations, I have a fanfiction toy series I'd like to create one day that sees transformers being discovered and humans create various technology to defeat them. We go from power rangers power suits, to halo power armor, at this point in the timeline Zoids are discovered to be hostile to humans so we make Gundams in response, Decepticons reveal themselves and the war starts. Eventually it goes all the way to destiny universe where humans tech is so advanced we can fight them without the mech suits. Autobots are naturally helping humans.
The Japanese G1 continuity is easily _the_ most complex and convoluted of all Transformers continuities. Nice.
It's also the longest of them all
That xraziest thing is that it is needlessly complicated 😂
Nice！👍️
まさか日本のこのシリーズまで紹介してくれるとは…
日本人の同じTFファンとして嬉しいです！
I didn't expect to be introduced to this Japanese series... As a fellow Japanese TF fan, I'm happy!!
sorry for my bad english
m(_ _)m
Welcome!
偉大な!
if the legacy toyline was ever going to get its own storyline,we will get thier version lf the vanguard consisting lf various multiversal TFs
I've never heard of this, but I love this take on Primus, reimagining the G1 Primus as not a divine deity but a relatable character with flaws just trying to do the right thing and getting carried away a bit.
One of my favorite things about the Primus Vanguard was that they repurposed figures as new characters, such as Yellow Convoy; I particularly enjoy the fact that it opens up the pool of characters both fan and official works can pull from, of which we can then "technically" have an official representation in figure form.
Yessss
What a coincidence, two basics in a row where the Vok play a significant part
Just when I tought Takara couldn't make it's continuity weirder.
Star Convoy ripping the star off his chest and using it as a weapon goes so hard
Now this is definitely an episode where I felt I had to write things down! Awesome work.
Fun Fact: *Even Vector Prime had Q&A sessions about pop culture and Transformers Multiverse*
This is an awesome story by Japan! I love how it treated every character and made Primus not an all-good god, but a normal being who does make mistakes. This is something I really hope Hasbro brings to the west as a show or even movie series.
If they have Big Convoy, I hope they make a Magmatron soon
Wow! First time I’m hearing about this. This storyline sounds interesting involving so many characters with unique personalities, with a handful carrying Matrix of Leaderships, knowing something will happen in defending their universe. I’m ready for an animated series on this. Thank you for the presentation.
Reminds me of the Lantern Corp. It started with Green Lanterns but then spiraled out to include a whole spectrum.
Yep, I thought that too.
Thanks for covering my request Chris. Other topics I considered requesting were the Primal Vanguard or the Guiding Hand, but I figured this was probably the most obscure topic I could request a look at.
You're lucky.
With Japan’s ability to tie together seemingly unrelated, paradoxical, and bizarre concepts together into a cohesive storyline, I’d love to see them tackle the Bayverse and try to flesh out just what the heck is the actual lore for that universe (since whether or not BB and RoTB are officially considered reboots or not is up in the air, we could even try and throw them in for good measure)
Even coming from a DC comics fan, the mechanics of this Multiverse sound soooo convoluted. Nice job making sense of it though. One thing I will say is I do have to admire the Japanese continuity making everything into one timeline though instead of multiple reboots like we have over here.
So, the Transformers have their own interdimensional Lantern Corp powered by their own interdimensional infinity stones which were involved in their own interdimensional time heist. That's rad.
The japanese mangaka are so fast in writing stories, the drawings are great, and makes the conclusion so satisfying.
The Primus Vanguard is one the few cosmological examples of destiny. All things will end in one way, and be changed in another. Primus pierced the veil and horizon of time to better understand what was to come, and was horrified by the result.
Simply put, the future wasn't always a bright one. But it wasn't always dark either. Where there is life, there is hope and hope is sometimes all you need to make a future worth fighting for
"The question that once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own. And yet, how ironic... for I now find that I have no choice at all! I am a warrior... let the battle be joined." Dinobot 's quote embodies this I think?
@@gabrielchee8470Absolutely
The basics are back!
Thanks to my immortal spark, I have lived through ALL universes.
Would I call you Mr Scream?
3:13 Red sentinel prime
3:25 yellow splendid convoy
3:39 green tender convoy
3:51 blue brightes convoy
4:12 purple wicked convoy
4:24 white gallant convoy
4:34 black go prime
This is like
The weirdest fever dream of repaints and retools.
I usually love singular continuities but the amount of rings they had to jump through for this story is so awkward it almost feels like fan-fiction
Most of the Japanese toy-related comics and stories (over the last few years) are basically that. The writers were just trying to find ways to retcon all the new toys into the Japanese cartoon universe (which isn't the same as the western cartoon universe).
@@primalconvoy yeah, I know: been watching basics for a while
Ending to that plot line serves as a reminder how strongly rooted complacence is in Japanese culture. Shikata ga nai, indeed.
I've been watching these videos for around a year and I never thought one would cause my brain to melt into a smoothie
Good stuff Chris keep them coming
I wonder if they'll ever do a series (comic or TV) where Primacron shoes up as the over arching villain, not just a short appearance...
I'd cast him as the One (Primus + Unicron = Primacron) An enigmatic figure like the Beyonder in Marvel or Lorien from Babylon 5.
He has to come back just so we can finally have a scene where Grimlock laughs at little wimp who make big trouble.
Primacron is a little pet claiming control of things he doesn’t understand nor control. Could make a brilliant villain, I guess, with his lies digging him in deeper.
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
shout out to our Patreon friend Simon for this one! can't wait to see what we'll get next time on "The Basics"
Alpha Trion, our worlds are in danger! Recruit seven Transformers with attitude!
Go, go, Primus Vanguard!
Dang man....this story is lit!!! It's complex with all kind of headache plot you can think of, but it's good XD
So far this is my most fave basics XD
And it's funny to see Purple Wicked Convoy always eating ice cream bar XD
Shame no one scanned it, I want to read them ^^
the most amusing part of all of this is that we'll only get a sequel to the Convobat story if Takara makes a Bludgeon from Titans Return Hardhead or something to that effect
Yellow splendid convoy is my favourite! I really want to get her toy it's an absolute grail for me
I think my mind has melted entirely.
I was reading this Manga and I was unable to finish it! Thanks Chris!
I love this channel. I’ve been a Transformer fan since 1984, yet I get confused by the ever changing lore.
The Vok? I get that reference!
Thanks for showing this man
I sat in a cafe with Sakamoto-sensei for 5 hours drawing Blue Big Convoy’s first appearance!
Great video
Great Stuff, as always!
I sat and read 72 pages of double spreads about this in the Selects Managa only yesterday. Nice coincidence. Great stories.
I want the FUTURE Legacy of Primus Vanguard are: Sunstreaker, Inferno, Prowl, Hound, Smokescreen
Me at 6:23: “…what?”
6:31 “The other warriors thought he had gone mad”
GEE I WONDER WHY.
The one thing I hthink I really like about this storyline is it makes G1 Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime more clearly "The Chosen One." The fact that Primus shares a body design with Rodimus adds the implication that Primus is actually acting through Hot Rod rather than Hot Rod just wielding the Matrix.
It also kind of explains why his leadship was short-lived, only for Optimus to return. His purpose was only to defeat Unicron.
I don't know if they made the choice to use a toy with a Rodimus body as Primus was intentional; but if it was, I appreciate it. The weird stuff modern Japanese g1 writing goes through to try and canonize everything they can goes to really absurd and bizarre places. Overall, this storyline is one of the more absurd. But solving the "if Rodimus is the Chosen One, then why was his run as leader so short?" question is appreciated.
Not sure if I like it. But if it was intentional, I appreciate it.
He's not the chosen one
@@novustalks7525 but he is a vessel for the Transformer God. Close enough
@@TheUncivilizedNation no he's just a leader with the matrix
@@TheUncivilizedNation You're right he is the chosen one as stated by the series. Ignore the Rodimus haters my friend.
Pretty sure it's a nod to the Marvel Comic, where Furman also depicted Primus as looking like Rodimus.
Here's another thing I noticed here. The Generations Selects Optimus Prime and Megatron toys are based on their designs in the Return of Convoy series.
All new to me! The artworks cool
Would love to see these guys again
Now THATS what I call a multiverse of madness.
Nah no kidding this whole story overall had my head spinning like crazy which makes MOM a more understanding movie then this one
In my school vr game rebake the spectres had a major role and became the game antagonist and in the mission called the ultimate price in the post ending the spectres used the damaged remains of the decepticon calamity weapon Goalius and parts of different mobile suits and created armacon
And then they all died to the combined force of G1 Marvel Galvatron, Optimus Prime Clone and Cosmically-Powered Starscream.
I searched up for call of duty vanguard and the search results settings for “this week” ended up giving me this video xD
Do THE BASICS on COSMOS next
Very very COOL! I knew there was a backstory to these oddly colored characters! A great story indeed summed up here and makes me want that Big Blue Convoy all the more now. And yellow female fire truck Optimus....damn it all there goes more shopping on eBay!! Still it's a great video and great new story in Transformers lore. Keep up the outstanding work bro.
And I was literally coming up with a Transformers (Marvel’s Illuminati -esc) concept called “The Covenant” having one member from each cybertronian colony of each universe (Override for UT Velocitron, Ultra Magnus for Animated Cybertron, etc) only to figure out it already exists
It’s Vanguard time!
Can't wait for the convoluted origin story they make for The One.
Yes! My favourite bot gang! Finally gettin' a basics episode.
This is definitely the most obscure Basics video.
Be cool to see you cover the Heralds of Unicron since there’s more than Scourge, Cyclonus and Galvatron
That was complicated.😳
4:21 The best part of this entire storyline, is that Energon Popsicle.
Chris I want to see sometime next month more basics on the other 13 primes and Goldbug
This was different and awesome 😎
Few Japanese fans understand all this story.
Right off the bat, these guy's look so cool!
You forgot to mention that "SG OP" was holding "Grape Gari-Gari Kun Convoy". This then leads to the REAL question of which of the two purple Convoys is the ACTUAL "Purple Wicked Convoy"...
:D Wicked Purple Convoy does sound like Kool aid flavor.
That was a lot of news about transformers that I did not know thanks for that.
Man I know that some of the stories and the lore can get pretty convoluted..... But holy Hannah, this generations selects/Primus Vanguard story takes the cake!
That was bonkers, I love it.
Wow they look awesome
I can hear perspective end roasting and ranting over this and tear it a new one
That's the craziest backstory retcon I've ever heard in my life 🤣
... oh no I've gone cross-eyed.
In Brightest Day.
In Blackest Night...
"What the Hell are you sayin'?" -Hound, Age of Extinction (2014).
This story was complicated and mad as balls, I love it! 🙂
The Vanguards reminded be of the different Bionicle Toa.
They all looked like Optimus prime!?
Umm...one is a sentinel
This is a interesting video
3:26 Huh, I just realized Black Arachnia from Beast Wars and Misha from Transformers Energon are there...
Can you do a basics video on the decpticon triple changer octane next
Very interesting.
You should do a video on the mercenaries faction
