The fact that gobots went from a rival series to TF into being a part of TF still shocks me,what a shock
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I mean there just robots still. It makes sense to just make them Cybertronians
And by Cybertronians I mean dead robots all the time
Also the GotG christmas special confirms that Gobots (as in the actual characters not the toys) are canon in the MCU, which is also kinda wild
You wrote 3 comments in this comments section and all of them are taken and rewritten from comments in the community post.
Get your own opinion
It did happened with Mario and sonic so why not
The fact that Crasher's character trait may had a role in inspiring other crazy ladies in fiction is a shock.
Then she really lived up to the term, Lunatic. Probably should have been the name.
Not really. Men love crazy chicks.
If Crasher was part from Cyberverse Spark armor toyline, he would have Cy-kill as a motorcycle. When combined, they would be called:
"Cyclone Killer".
"(LITERALLY THE MOST INSANE LAUGHTER YOU'VE EVER HEARD)" is a _fantastic_ subtitle
Has a Clinton/Harris feel.
This must be the first time Ben 10 was name dropped in a Transformers Basics video.
Bueno los que venían de hacer vendiendo hacer transformes así que se entiende
@@juaneduardocamachoQue hablas
I get the distinct feeling that Crasher would get on terrifyingly well with the Stunticons and have fun competitions with Wildrider to see how many cars each of them could run off the road.
I had similar thoughts as well!
Honestly I could also see Motormaster having a begrudging respect for Crasher's might makes right mentality.
Haven't heard of the Stunticons in a long time. Menasor (their combiner form) would probably apply her as something like power fists (she'd be the right arm batting ram perhaps).
Crasher was at least a little revolutionary for the time. A female villain whose focus was strength rather than craftiness or something zappy. And more importantly, who didn’t have a designated girl fight counterpart, bit instead squares off with the rough and tumble Turbo.
Add in a memorable voice and it’s no wonder she’s one of the most enduring elements of Gobots.
And it actually made sense for the GoBots to have males and females, since they were originally humans (or something on their planet exactly like humans, anyway), but over time replaced their worn out body parts to become cyborgs that could convert.
There were a few other female GoBots. Off the top of my head I can remember Smallfoot, Pathfinder, and (Rock Lord) Solitare.
Edit: The monster GoBot Vamp was also female in the cartoon, but in the toy commercial was said that "HE'S so scary, he even scares HIMSELF".
@@KasumiKenshirou Don't forget Spay-C, Snoop, and Sparky.
Funny how the very beginning of Gobots made such good female characters and no one questioned it while Transformers took entire decades to be inclusive lmao. Heck, even today there are still people out there questioning the idea of a robot with gender (a.k.a subtle sexism)
The voice actors were a huge part of what made these characters memorable. Even when the animation was phoned in, you could always count on the voice actors to bring otherwise generic characters to life. I still remember Crasher's laugh and Cop-Tur's deadpan voice forty years later.
Well, GoBots and Transformers do share a few voice actors.
I just now realized Blackout in Animated with his "Lurch" voice is a reference to Cop-Tur.
Even said his catchphrase when he took the Spacebridge offline.
Yeah, me too, totally
Exactly I hate these new school voice actors even though the guy who does Starscream is the exception
I want her to show up more often
Need her, Flamewar, Slipstream, and Airachnid to form a Mean Girls style group.
Replace off-brand Blackarachnia with Shadow Striker and you’ve got a deal
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho even better
@Luke Canady!
1. Why not all five?
2. Airachnid and Blackarachnia only have surface-level similarities. One’s an anti-hero, the other’s truly evil. One has two modes, the other has three. Not to mention that their arcs are completely different.
"Oh my god, Flamewar, you cant just ask someone why theyre a triple changer!"
Which one would be the meanest of the girls?
I always imagined Gobotron as a lost colony of Cybertron.
I could absolutely see that working
@@matthewcaughey8898 The story could be set up with the colonists heading out in the time between the war that expelled the Quintisons and the first Autobot/Deception War, before the names were made and when they arrive on the world that was to become Gobotron, the ones that would be Autobots become the Guardians and the Decepticons became the Renegades.
I love all the humor and cool references in this episode. I never thought Ben 10 would get a reference in the Basics, but that is pretty darn cool. Plus, since it is holiday time, Crasher deserves to be "laughing all the way". LOL
Gotta love a villain who appreciates a good laugh.
Her laugh is definitely the thing I remember most about Crasher. The Tom Scioli series is probably the very best Go-Bots story I've ever read/seen. Definitely one of the best stories IDW produced. I always envisioned Armada's Cyclonus as initially being conceived as an iteration of Coptur. It's a shame Hasbro are so hesitant to integrate the Go-Bots proper.
I loved how Tom Scioli gave Crasher a better life. I never truly believed she was truly evil at heart.
Now you got to compete in the ARENA, (The Aftermarket), to get your hands on a TBA.
(Which, btw, Clock is ticking...)
I feel like a big part of Hasbro's reluctance to fully incorporate the GoBots into Transformers is due to the rights issues with most of the iconic GoBots designs. Hasbro owns the characters, but Bandai owns the original toy designs, so it brings up the issue of how to make them recognizable as GoBots while keeping them legally distinct from Machine Robo. Crasher just happens to work better than most because she has an alt mode that can be easily retooled and/or repainted from Mirage.
I've always thought that Dropkick from the Bumblebee movie was meant to be Cop-Tur at one point
@@LordArikado You're probably right. I remember reading an interview with a Transformers toy designer that brought this up. They were going to release a toy based on a GoBot (perhaps one of these Crashers) and had to convince the higher-ups that what they were proposing would be legal for them to do without imposing on the Machine Robo designs. I don't remember all the details, but it had something to do with the vehicle mode being based on a real car that made it OK.
There was another case where a set of Japanese-exclusive recolors of the G1 mini cars was advertised, with all the toys having the names of GoBots. (These were the US GoBots names, not the Japanese Machine Robo names.) However, when the toy set was released, the GoBot names for the characters had been removed.
Crasher was by far the best thing in the Gobots and definitely deserves a new lease of life. I'd have loved to have seen her in the live action though, something close to the original in either Bumblebee or the upcoming Rise of the Beasts.
It's bit irony that Crasher's leader, Cykill hasn't reached same level fame that Crasher has bot even getting new toy.
considering his cameo in the guardians of the galaxy holiday special that could change
@@Vekette Oh yeah, oddly forgot that for moment.
Crasher was always my favorite Go-Bot. The glee with which she annihilated things was entertaining. I still have her classic toy laying around somewhere.
Oh, my favourite Gobot! Loved her. Aggressive, not passive.
I like how bugbite and crasher are being the most frequently appearing gobots in the franchise, despite them being made to rival TF
Cy-kill shows up a bit here and there but he's usually...well...killed
There’s also Leader-1 or whatever he is called
@@eur0be4t3r yeah, wasn't he a Mini-Con or something?
@@CoryTheRaven IIRC, the poorly translated English dub would frequently mess up an call multiple characters Leader-1.
What amazed me more than anything is how easily accepted Crasher was in the GoBots franchise, what with her being a female robot. Yet Hasbro fought tooth and nail to avoid assigning gender to their TRANSFORMERS robots.
Yeah, I remember watching the Go-Bots back in the day and the fact that she was female never was a thing that anyone cared about. At least not back then.
@@MrStrikecentral Most people don't care now.
There were plenty of female GoBots, including Pathfinder and Small Foot. Their character models weren't overly feminine either, unlike Elita One and Arcee who had to be pink so we knew they were female.
She had a personality and a well written unlike arcee who was boring had nothing interesting about her.
The fact that crasher has had so many references, easter eggs and appearences that we hardly knew about
It should also be noted that in the last episode of Ben 10 Omniverse she featured in, Fistina joins the Plumbers and changes her armor color to resemble Crasher’s original Machine Robo colors!
Oh yeah that also happened
You ever get the idea that Derrick wanted to move the Heavens and Earth itself to make a revamped Go-Bot series?
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster I honestly wouldn’t be surprised. Bless him.
I don't think fistina is a cyborg but a rock alien in a mech suit.
I always thought Shatter & Dropkick were reminiscent of Crasher & Coptur. Cool to see that it was true! The Gobots still got a cameo in the Bumblebee movie; the character, Memo, is seen reading a Gobots comic for a couple seconds.
Anyway, this was a nice Christmas treat. Crasher was easily my favorite character in Gobots. She just loved her job so much!
The wiki mentions that Bee would have been theorized to be one in a delete scene
If she ever appears in s show or comic, one idea I could see her being written as Mirage’s sister, who hated how privileged she & her brother were compared to many others like the gladiadors, with whom she’d run away to and join the decepticons since their earliest days.
That's actually not a bad backstory for crasher
There relationship Would most likely be like shadow and sonic in sonic prime
Nice mine is leader 1 as elita 1's brother
Or have road ranger be the older brother of Optimus Prime and ultra magnus.
@@kariqdatmenace6642 it also be nice if Crascher and Mirage had the same toxic relationship as shadow and sonic in the Netflix cartoon Sonic Prime
That’s the kind of laugh that Joker would tell her to chill.
Also, I applaud that well integrated Christmas joke there. No seriously, my instinct was to clap only to remember this was a RUclips video. I just love a good joke.
I love Crasher, and I *really* wish I still had the original GoBots toy of her that I had when I was a kid. It was definitely unusual for the time that one of the main characters in a "boy's" toy line (and a villain bruiser no less) was a female character (GI Joe's Baroness is the only other notable example I can think of), and her voice and insane laugh definitely made her memorable. I wish her Legacy figure looked more like her original alt mode but I'm still glad she's back, and maybe she'll get another Porche "inspired" alt mode someday.
Even the Joker would shiver at Crasher’s laugh, I know I do anyway.
Holy crap that Crasher laugh is way more terrifying than I remembered it.
Brought to us by the amazingly talented Marilyn Lightstone.
I agree! And I thought Mark Hamill's Joker laugh was spine-chilling!
Same here.
I love her laugh. To me Crasher's laugh is fun, and playful - just like Crasher. Crasher wants to play.
Anyone else feel that Crasher would make an excellent extra member of The Stunticons?
She could be Menasor's head.
Imagine that laugh bearing down on you.
Yup, kick out Breakdown and replace him with Crasher, the name alone would either make her, one that enjoys crashing into Autobots, or a really careless Deception, menacing both camps in battles!
Great idea!
Let's not forget about Slicks!
Crasher was the only Go-Bot toy I had way back when. I also remember her quite prominently in the cartoon series, making her easily my favorite character in the series. It also helped that her vehicle mode and color scheme were sick as hell. The only vehicle I find more aesthetically pleasing than hers would be the MadMobile.
I picked up Crasher at my local Walmart store and I remember having her as a Gobot toy. She is one of my favorites as a child and I remember her in the IDW comics and also in the Ben 10 cartoons and now I have her in the Transformers Legacy line as well and I can't wait for your 200 episode of the basics of the Transformers. I really enjoyed your videos and keep up the outstanding work and you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a Wonderful New Year
Great video Chris! You never cease to amaze!
So in terms of incorporating the Gobots into Transformers fiction, I've always thought that they could be reinterpreted as inhabitants of Gorlam Prime.
For those unfamiliar, Gorlam Prime was a planet featured in Simon Furman's run during the early 2005 IDW comics, where its inhabitants the Gorlamites went through a planetwide conversion from organic to mechanical lifeforms. Furman used some of the Micromasters to represent them, but I personally think that the Gobots would fit into the concept a lot better since they were originally cyborgs before Hasbro reintroduced them as purely Cybertronian. Their conversion into Cybertronian-like beings could still be tied in with the Transformers like it was in IDW.
I can only hope that such an idea is explored in the future.
The idea of sg crahser being blurr's cousin should be expanded more and more,since the tow of them are known for racing,speed.....
"Crashing through the snow, this Go-Bot's out to slay, stomping as she goes, laughing all the way" Hehe, cute!
I loved Crasher so much as a kid! I barely remember the Go-Bots cartoon but her design was the only Go-Bot I remembered years later. My parents couldn't afford Transformers, so I got some Go-Bots that were probably on sale instead, and she got a lot of play. I'm really thrilled to discover she's still around so many decades later, if in a slightly different form, her design is so classic and easily deserved all those homages
*cue Santa-like laughter morphing into deranged robotic laughter*
6:47 WOOOOOO! Yeaaaaah babyyyyy! That's what I've been waiting for! That's what it's all about!
I've never thought that Fistina in Ben 10 Omniverse is the inspiration from GoBots Crasher. Thanks for that info Chris.
Glad to see that Fistina was mentioned
I have a soft spot for Omniverse's rogues gallery
What a seismic way to cap off both Obscure Characters Month and 2022. Here's to 2023 and the 200th episode.
Suggestion for an episode: Override. She's an interesting case where the first use of a name hasn't become the go-to identity of modern incarnations. It's not too uncommon but still worth covering. Her Cybertron incarnation seems to be the most common depiction in media since then.
Shame they keep throwing her into stories where everyone dies. I dunno what’s up with that?
This character and her laugh are literally the only things I remember from this cartoon.
feels like a missed opportunity to bring back Cy-Kill as a decepticon Rival to Megatron and
with Crasher as his 2nt in command but also have her and Cy-Kill have kind of a thing for
each other which makes Cy-Kill's Rivalry Megatron more interesting... if written well
How about something akin to Lord Straxus in the comics? A leader of another group of Decepticons opposing Megatron? Like they could literally be called Decepticon Renegades
Oooh, just imagine Starscream and Cy-Kill constantly trying to take out Megatron, having to watch his back even more carefully, especially with Cy-Kill being more cunning and ruthless than Starscream.
Hell, even Shockwave and Soundwave knew to keep their ambitions on Megatron in check!
One thing you forgot to mention about the overall gobots originally go box were not "pure original sentient robots"... We find out throughout the series gobots that they are actually aliens brains/memories built into robots to extend their life from sickness and death... And the two creators of the mechanical concept of brain transfer had a falling out and started their war
So technically crasher is a biological cyborg transformer (brain in a robot)
Haven't seen Crasher since Gobots vs Mighty Rocklords! Glad she's given a chance to shine! Always saw her as a robotic Baroness! Perfect ally to my other fave, Cy-kill!
I find it funny that she's suppose to be a destructive character yet she transforms into a Formula 1 race car which you would think more speed than anything else for how fragle and slender they are.
Porsche 956's were fragile too (born to race not for demolition derbies) So I imagine Crasher had extra armor put in to protect her body.
I really wish her Legacy toy were a retool of Combiner Wars Jazz, that alt mode is much closer to her original GoBots alt mode.
I wish it was a repaint of deadend his transformation scheme is closer to hers.
I'm just here to ask a question. Your handle. Blues Brothers reference?
@@ShinGallon Her legacy toy seems to be a reference to the 2007 toyline repaint of Mirage, which was called Fracture (because Crasher's trademark wasn't available).
Crasher was a great villain. Megatron would’ve loved to have her as a Decepticon as much as Cykill loves her as a Renegade. I would’ve also love to seen her get into scuffle with Rumble and Frenzy, with their pile drivers going up against her stumping discharge attack.
Great job again Chrismcfeely.... I was not a fan of the Go-Bots back in the day except for the opening of the cartoon but they have grown on me over the years. This character however is a fantastic one as she could have been the 1st female Deception in the ranks. And now as more and more female Deceptions emerge Crasher should he right at the top of the list!!
I'm barely finding out she was on Ben 10! Damnnnn! Being a 80's child knowing ths makes it alot more exciting!!!
Me: “Omg a rival to Transformers I wonder why it lost?”
Chris: “Between the heroic guardians and the evil renegades from planet Gobotron!”
Me: “Ah. So this wasn’t a battle. It was a slaughter.”
Hope Hasbro brings back Leader 1! I use the crossover Maverick jet as my Leader 1. Can’t wait for The Basics 2023, happy holidays!
Funny thing is in my headcannon leader1 and elita1 are siblings
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Chris!
500th like! Imagine if this maniac was part of the Stunticons also. How much more damage can the Stunticons cause on the road and how much more unstable Menasor can get?
Hi there, I just wanted to say that being born in 86 I have been a long term transformers fan and have recently gotten back into collecting transformers toys(something that I haven't done with as much enthusiasm since I was like 6 and had all the protectobots) and I have built such a tasty collection since watching your videos that frankly I don't know if should I should thank you for such lovely toys or blame you for being so short of money.............
Ofcourse it's a thank you. I love my toys and I very much enjoy your content🥰
Woah Gobots in Transformers😳 My 1980s childhood self never saw this coming
I ADORE Crasher, and have three Bandai black Crashers and a white Crasher. Love Crasher so much! 😍
Awesome video Chris!👍🏻
Wow! I have not thought about this character in decades! But, I instantly recognized her when I seen the face of her GO BOT design.
Merry Christmas!🎅🏻🎄
I watched Gobots as a kid and I can’t remember that Crasher’s laugh is so disturbing. Omg
White Crasher aka Porsche Robo also appeared in the machine Robo revenge of Chronos and battle hackers anime. Porsche robo is a male. The white toy was released under Bandai in the machine robo 600 series as MR 20.
Merry Christmas Eve, Chris McFeely. Nice to have met you, and enjoy your holidays!
The GoBots cartoon had a smaller cast of distinct characters. That was something Transformers couldn't do because they had to put all the toys in each season
That's right. Both sides each had three main characters, and the rest would be recurring characters.
happy holidays and thank you for another great year of the basics! ❤️🌎☮️
So I recognised three of those Go-Bots, and realised that I own a few. Apparently, I own a red one named "Smallfoot", and the big old "Bug Bite" fellow with the teeny-tiny little T-Rex arms.
"Alright Marilyn, that was a great laugh, but I think it'd be better if we ran it through an electronic filter."
And you know what? It was.
Thank you so much for bringing up the GoBots I completely forgot all about them now I'm going to go watch it on television
Great way to end the year! Can't wait for Episode 200 and beyond!
The Joker: "Hey, tone it down, lady!"
6:55 I knew there had to be a connection when I saw the thumbnail!
Crasher is my favorite Transformers character. That moment when she saved Optimus prime and inherited the matrix of leadership in the 1986 movie was peak cinema.
Crasher IS the best Go-Bot... Second or third in command of the Renegades. Great as a Decepticon.
Awesome video Chris and not counting last January of the same year but this year obscure characters month video is by far my most favourite one and love how you added some clips of Crasher’s iconic laugh very nicely done and I’ll look forward to seeing other new videos in the future and hope you’ll have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yknow if someone like Crasher can make it this far, I’m hoping other transformers like Jolt to get more recognition than just being the blue one in Transformers RoTF
Hi Chris, great video, keep them coming, also Crasher is not only one of my favorite Transformers Obscure Characters of all time,not only one of my favorite Go-Bots Characters, but also she is one of my favorite Renegades of all time, also Crasher is a member of The Evil Renegades in The Go-Bots Universe(Original,Classic, Retroboot) she is a Demolition Derby expert and a Arch-Enemy of The Heroic Guardian Turbo, her transformation is a race car, also my Version iteration of Crasher is her Heroic Counterpart who is a member of The Heroic Decepticons battling the Evil Autobots in the Transformers Shattered Glass Universe, also I'm looking forward to Pre-order The Transformers Legacy Crasher Action Figure Next year, also The Original Crasher is a native of the planet Gobotron in The Original Go-bots Cartoon Universe, also your latest Video was superb Chris keep up the good work😊👍,also she can Stomp her foot to cause earthquakes, also Crasher is aggressive, also thank you for sharing Chris keep up the great work stay safe out there have a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.🙂👍🇺🇸💪❤️🦸🏋️
Always interesting to see how transfomrers writers handle gobots characters.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Chris Mcfeely and all his viewers.
Hi Chris, I am wondering if you can do a Basics on Transformers conventions, how many different kinds there are and what the history is. As a TF fan, I am relatively old, but I went to BotCon 97 or 98 back when I was a teenager. It remains a highlight of my childhood.
Loved this video though. Good tale of how Crasher got picked up by the TF's.
Always great to see your content! Always a great way to start a Saturday! Obscure Characters Month is a favorite since a lot of these I have no idea about. Not to mention it’s great seeing these episodes coinciding with the releases of these characters in the toy line.
Also a very Merry Christmas to you as well, Chris!
I'm too young to have been exposed to go-bots, but the more I see of the franchise the more I wish it had taken off like transformers..
the cartoon designs are a tad goofier than my liking, but the toys look solid, and they even had a very distinct female character from the get-go!
This is another great episode. Always stellar work. I wish there was a channel like yours, dedicated to GoBots deep-dives.
I had some toys as a kid, but only caught one or two episodes of the show.
"Go-Bots. The K-mart of Transformers."
6:40 I actually have the crasher F1 car because of this mix up. I asked a friend of mine to see if they could get me a fracture toy of the RID bounty hunter. I didn’t realize that there was also a fracture F1 car so I wound up getting that instead.
“LITERALLY THE MOST INSANE LAUGHTER YOU HAVE EVER HEARD”
Her iconic evil sinister laugh I will never forget
Just got the Legacy figure a few weeks ago; overall she is really fun and feels better than the kingdom. Mirage mold.
Going to keep my fingers crossed we can get some more of the original GoBots characters; I would love a new Leader-1 and Cy-Kill.
Leader-1 and Cy-Kill should totally be retools of Legacy Armada Starscream and Studio Series 86 Wreck-Gar respectively
@@NoahDaArk yeah that works perfectly!
New Leader-1, Cy-Kill and Coptur figures are things I've wanted for years now. I also have crazy daydreams about a new Titan-class Zod toy but I know that's never gonna happen.
Legacy Jihaxus would make a great Leader-1. Either as a repaint with a new head (crasher from mirage style) or with a repaint and some new parts (alpha trion from scourge style) it would be great
Damn. It would've been freaking awesome if the robots in the Bumblebee movie had been Crasher and Cop-Tur. Lol
As much as people enjoy making fun of GoBots for being one of the many rivals that ended up falling to live up. You can't deny that it has some qualities to admire and enjoy.
I always loved Crasher! She always seems to truly enjoy her work.
Merry Christmas Chris, can't wait to see what other wacky characters you have in store for us next year
Thanks for all the info on all the Bots.Merry Christmas
So Ben 10 is where I swear I saw this character. Neat.
What a wonderful early Christmas present!
Shatter is a Gobot...there is a transformer, who appeared in Ben 10...MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
Merry Christmas to The Basics!!!
Crasher is the only Gobot I remember from the villain side. I recall a red scooter from the good duys. I don;t remember either of their names, I couldn;t have told you who the black lady evil car was before watching this video, but I remember watching the show growing up and yes, she was in my eyes the main villain, if not the boss of the villains.
thanks for all the awesome info man so Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. may your channel grow and become more popular.
Definitely the most memorable character in Gobots. Cool design too.
The should've made a gobotron vs Cybertron series where they exist as sister planets that cross paths every so often. I would like to see leader 1 and Optimus work together against Megatron and cy- kill or leader 1 and cy- kill vs Prime and Megatron.
I feel like we need a comic to go along with the velocitron speedia/legacy toy line also merry Christmas and have a happy new year Chris!
My favorite renegade, thank you and merry Christmas.🎄🏎
I remember the Gobots! I had a few toys base on series! Long before I got interested in transformers!
Looks like the Joker has strong competition for ‘most insane laughter’…
