TRANSFORMERS COMBATICONS (Fan-Made Pilot)

Support the Indiegogo for a followup installment! Transformers Combaticons: Wrath of the Junkions! https://youtu.be/fbq4lA5kEew https://youtu.be/fbq4lA5kEew

Chris mcfeely being a newscaster autobot is a hilarious cameo

So let's see: 1. The tired onslaught 2. The crazy vortex (genderbend) 3. The timid blast off 4. The scammer swindle 5. The Scottish brawl You madlad I love this show already 10/10

Oh my god, i'm in love with the chemistry this incarnation of the group has. They're inspired by previous iterations, yes, but they're clearly taking their own paths with it. Swindle trying to hawk random garbage onto everyone, but partly because he sees it as a friendly bit of sport, and partly because he wants people to ignore how genuinely conniving he is beneath it all, literally selling the idea that he's just all talk and no shock. Brawl being the least aggro of the group as if he's just become resigned to being stuck with these people decacycles ago and is having these genuine moments of introspection and clarity that the others lack alongside just generally not having the temper any of the others do. Blast Off being a high-tension wreck that doesn't do well with plans or technicalities, but can finagle together his own solutions with no problem. And dear god, the emotional rollercoaster of Vortex and Onslaught's history together. Heck, this is one of the few times I've seen Onslaught treated as a primary character rather than "a reason to have the rest of his squad onscreen."

The multiverse segment was sick! I especially appreciate all the little bayverse easter egs ^_^

For anyone wondering what the Cybertronian text said at the end, it reads: "ALL REALITIES WERE RESTORED. EXCEPT FOR KISS PLAYERS." Which I'd say is probably for the best anyways. If you don't know what Kiss Players is, look it up. Apologies in advance.

Dude. Imagine making a 22 minute full fledged animated episode FIRST TRY. That’s amazing!

16:40 “if we can just FIND Optimus Prime!” “He’s right here….he’s dead” 😂😂

I'm gonna answer a very common question: "When's episode two??" There are currently no plans for future installments. Nearly two years and over $10,000 per episode just isn't sustainable. (Everyone involved in the project was paid) I should also clarify that I don't consider this episode 1. This is is a proof-of-concept pilot. I made this to prove that the characters, tone and world could work. It's a hodge-podge of several story ideas and episode concepts, all mashed together into a cohesive package. I will release the much-delayed 'Trukk Not Munky' TFA project later this year, and then I'll take a lengthy break from Transformers stories to work on original concepts that have been in my head for years. I'm open to returning to Combaticons down the road, with a formal "episode 1", but I have no plans for the next several years. I'm really glad everyone's enjoyed the pilot! I'm blown away by the positive response and all the fan art we've gotten on social media. Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you everyone who's stopped by to watch, whether you caught the premiere or are seeing it sometime after! It was an absolute honor to be Vortex, this is hands down one of the coolest projects I've been a part of so far and I'm so happy with all the love it's been getting!

I demand a 1000 episode season, this is incredible. This is proof that the Transformers lore can expand. Congratulations to everyone on the team. 😎

I’ve never seen a fan made project capture the absolute heart and spirit of everything I loved about Animated so perfectly. The Voice Acting is legitimately on par with the Official Show. The Art Style, while clearly being it’s own thing still retains that “Animated” feel that made the Show’s animation so beloved. The character are so expressive and it all feels natural and the writing was brilliant too. This genuinely feels like a lost Animated episode or a Sequel Series that it SHOULD have gotten. Out of all the garbage Hasbro has greenlit in recent years, it warms my heart knowing that there are fans out there who can genuinely keep the spirit of what we love alive. Bravo! To you and everyone involved in this project! Hopefully you make another!

I love how you incorporated Bayverse Onslaught’s claw weapon into this design. Also, Vortex is Best Girl.

So excited for everyone to finally see this! Was such an amazing experience to contribute the small bits I did to this project! Shout out to keyan and the rest of the amazing cast and crew!

Thanks everyone for watching this work of art, the amount of hours Keyan and all of the artists put into creating this has been remarkable and it definitely pays off, and I’m not bias despite being Blast Off, rock on COMBAT ICONS.

this going from "who broke the pipes" to cosmic horror and traveling through the multiverse has regular show vibes and I LOVE it also all the references with Swindles weapons is great :D

This genuinely was shockingly good, Lovingly animated, playfully written, consciously meta, just by the fans for the fans, I loved this

If this is a pilot, there is a chance for this to become a full show?! Please yes

By far the funniest TF fan project I've ever come across, well done Keyan and the whole team on this! I'm 1000% down for more of these if there are any plans to continue beyond a pilot. Brilliant voice cast (Keej was PERFECTLY cast as Brawl), really witty and clever comedy writing and the art & animation is just incredible. A stand-out love letter to Derrick and Animated that you should all be immensely proud of!

Female Vortex is a vibe. I kinda love this itteration of the character, especially since they're my favorite of The Combaticons.
