Actually, Coke-a-Cola dominated Japan since the 1940s to the point where if a can or bottle had any red on it, the Japanese would automatically assume it was a Coke. Pepsi was always in the Japanese market too, but they never made any headway against Coke over there until 1995 when Pepsi commissioned the Master of Japanese Ad Marketing to come up with a mascot for Pepsi (no joke). Thus, Pepsiman was born! As soon as the Pepsiman campaign started (and lasted until 2000), they successfully made Pepsi THE drink of Japan and surpassed Coke-a-Cola in popularity, which allowed them to make Pepsiman Bandai figures, Pepsiman bottlecaps, several mail in contests with Pepsi-themed or Pepsiman-themed rewards, etc. and most notably, the Pepsiman Endless Runner game for PS1. Pepsiman really became a cultural phenomenon in Japan at that time.
+Lotus Prince Oh man, that takes me back to my import days. Fighting Vipers was awesome. Too bad Pepsi Man wasn't in the American release. Even more of a shame he wasn't in Fighters Megamix. I'd match him with Hornet in an instant. I mean it's no Pepsimus Prime, but close enough lol.
+Robert Walker That would be all kinds of hilarious. And holy crap, I feel like I've created Channel Awesome-ception. I'm on the video of an ex-producer, got a reply from a current producer and now here's one of the cpmpanies co-owners chiming in. Can't say that happens everyday lol.
You, are my second lost pepsi son! wow! You must find your brother and say the words "Pepsi is life" and the world shall be saved! HURRAH! (insert eagle noise here)
We need to show Disney the error of their greed before they completely destroy themselves and become Heartless, they've already caused Leia's death and also this talking snake called Han a stoner.
@Alcoon Slambag I do not have a single memory of writing this, let alone watching this video. I may have been possessed while writing that. I don't even know what it means.
+FaiD Review You can rub the sign to find out if it's a Cokecon or a Pepsibot! Also I gotta go write down a few Pepsi related jokes on Transformers, I'll be back in a second...
I wonder what other soda variants of characters would be. Coca-cola Megatron, Sundrop Sunstreaker, Fanta Octane, Diet Coke galvatron, the list could go on forever. What would you want to see?
Love this video. I must say though, I am partial to Pepsi Optimus Prime's bio. It gives off the mental image of the Autobots sitting around drinking Pepsi.
I've got a theme song for this kind of idea actually Transformers! More than meets your thirst Pepsi bots wage their battle to destroy the evil coke of the cola cons Transformers Robots with sugar highs Transformers Drink! (To replace that sound at the end of the theme song)
I must tell you my lost son, you are the chosen one, to rule the commercial empire. My son, you must go, your journey begins now! (insert eagle noise hear.)
You know, as tricky as it'd be considering soda companies possibly being stricter with copyright and IPs than HasTak seems to be? I'm genuinely surprised that no third party company has considered the possibility of just doing a special limited release version of one of their Optimus figures in this color scheme or that KO companies like WeiJiang or KuBianBiao haven't considered it. I mean it's a goofy as hell idea and one not everyone is going to be into but by this point? I think Transformers could go for some weirdness.
+Caz I live in a world where there's an unofficial TMNT Krang figure called NT Cerebral and an official Transformers toy called Pepsi Convoy. Also, isn't Pepsi derived from the word "dispepsia"?
2:41 Actually, y'know what that fake Pepsi Twist looks like? Those N64 models that were carefully crafted with the intent that they would only be seen from one angle, and one angle only, like the hallway that Zelda peaks through in Ocarina of Time.
Truly hilarious! Definitely appreciate Pepsi Prime/ Convoy! Great review on this product! I always get a big kick out of your Bootleg or Miraculous Merchandise zones videos!
"Powerful CO2 GUN" - LOL - I just bought the actual version because its so novel. I prefer Pepsi over Coke for sure. This is another great video 5 stars
What a twist: there is no bottle of Pepsi there. :D Wait, so Pepsi Convoy is technically a double of the real Convoy? Sounds like a Decepticon plan (which is really, really stupid)
a CO2 gun? shouldn't that be CH2O3 gun? that is the acid in carbonated drinks that is the result of being carbonated. CO2 gun is just a fan with air you can't breath.
I want a Shattered Glass version of the ending sketch so that Coca-Cola Megatron can be the good guy like he deserves. "Why quench your thirst so recklessly?!" indeed.
Pepsi Convoy's backstop borrows elements from Kiss Players. Particularly the fact that it starts with Galvatron crashing into Tokyo, destroying much of the city, and souring people's opinions on Cybertronians.
Oh god I remember seeing this on the internet. I forget there was a us release. Speaking of transformers I found last week at my local comic book that they were selling a beachcomber bootleg toy. At least the box was bootleg image of G1 beachcomber toy. I don't know of the figure.
I remember seeing this silly crossover/re-issue Prime toy in a famous comics and gaming store in West Palm Beach a couple of years ago, it was going for a couple hundred dollars! It's no longer there today which means someone HAD to have in their collection.
You should have collaborated with The Cinema Snob and let him review the Pepsi while you review the truck! How could you miss this opportunity? 2:45 >8O
There are so many hilarious legitimate Transformers that could be reviewed. From Japan - Those Nike shoes and ball caps ones, and the game console ones (PS1 and Sega Genesis). From the US, the one named Spastic that offended all the Brits and had to be recalled. It actually exists; I own one.
hauler is my favourite component of g2 defensor, he really looks good on my shelf next to my animated omega supreme and rescue bots triplechanger heatwave on top of my WotC (a subsidiary of hasbro) transformers d20 books.
I bought the US version of Pepsi Prime some time back. For some weird reason he smelled like cinnamon. Seriously. Second I opened the box, I was assaulted with the scent of cinnomon. I kept a bottle of Live Wire on his trailer.

Japan must really love Pepsi. Pepsi-man AND Pepsi convoy. Amazing.

Pepsiman really became a cultural phenomenon in Japan at that time.
Don’t forget Blue Rose from Tiger And Bunny
Pepsibots VS The Deceptacolas!
Carbonation in disguise.
Decepticokes...
Beautiful
Seriously though, a bright red and white Megatron would actually look kinda cool.
@@wumpus976 A gun that shoots Coca Cola! amazing
A Pepsimus Prime and Pepsi Man teamup needs to be a legitimate thing.
+Thanatos420 Pepsi Man's a pretty good fighter, or so I hear. :-D
+Lotus Prince Oh man, that takes me back to my import days. Fighting Vipers was awesome. Too bad Pepsi Man wasn't in the American release. Even more of a shame he wasn't in Fighters Megamix. I'd match him with Hornet in an instant. I mean it's no Pepsimus Prime, but close enough lol.

+Robert Walker I see, I see. My apologies. All the same though, given the circumstances, taken at face value it's still pretty hilarious. =P
Pepsi matrix of, LITREship?
Jackson Slade ha, that’s a good one
NICE KKKKKKKKKKKK
Get out.
Optimus Pint
Quartissons
Gallontron
Missed opportunity. I thought he was going to say "Til all colas are Pepsi One."
If Galvatron was still alive, he'd be laughing his ass off
Fate and irony would have it that I´m drinking pepsi while watching this right now.
Are you a Luna?
ThePonyDalek A Luna fan yes.
That horse ain't got no Pepsi. Pssssh!
Hi I’m also a brony
Bender: "That's not ironic, it's just coincidental!"
So... does this mean Megatron turns into a Coca-Cola?
Bet this makes the Go-Bots RC Cola? :P
You, are my second lost pepsi son! wow! You must find your brother and say the words "Pepsi is life" and the world shall be saved! HURRAH! (insert eagle noise here)

they should have made Coca-Cola Megatron or Galvatron!
ikr
+FaiD Review or MotorMaster
+FaiD Review You can rub the sign to find out if it's a Cokecon or a Pepsibot! Also I gotta go write down a few Pepsi related jokes on Transformers, I'll be back in a second...
+FaiD Review Shouldnt it be Coca-Cola Hot Rod? the color will match much better
but those were the bad guys
I wonder what other soda variants of characters would be. Coca-cola Megatron, Sundrop Sunstreaker, Fanta Octane, Diet Coke galvatron, the list could go on forever. What would you want to see?
Dr. Pepperatchet, Mountain Dewblebee, and Omega Supreme... Guardian of Crystal Pepsity.
Also, the RC Transformer should totally be aRCee
Love this video. I must say though, I am partial to Pepsi Optimus Prime's bio. It gives off the mental image of the Autobots sitting around drinking Pepsi.
Us Americans got the Mountain Dew Decepticon and the Japanese have Pepsi Convoy
Damn. I was really hoping the heat reveal symbol would be a surprise Pepsi logo.
So when are we getting a masterpiece version??
The skits with the toys always have me cracking up
Pepsimis Prime would've been a far better hero.
Unless he runs out of Pepsi. Then he might have to rely on Sprite!
better than hotrodimus aka cokeamus prime of evil
Not gonna lie… that’s a nice paint job.
I've got a theme song for this kind of idea actually
Transformers!
More than meets your thirst
Pepsi bots wage their battle to destroy the evil coke of the cola cons
Transformers
Robots with sugar highs
Transformers
Drink! (To replace that sound at the end of the theme song)
I was drinking a Pepsi while watching this... It must be fate!!!
I must tell you my lost son, you are the chosen one, to rule the commercial empire. My son, you must go, your journey begins now! (insert eagle noise hear.)
10:08 top 10 anime betrayal
BAD PHELOUS BAD! We do not mention Kiss Players in general!
Well, that's just prime...
You know, as tricky as it'd be considering soda companies possibly being stricter with copyright and IPs than HasTak seems to be?

I mean it's a goofy as hell idea and one not everyone is going to be into but by this point? I think Transformers could go for some weirdness.
Wait, why didn't they have Optimus paired with Coca Cola? They had the perfect excuse for alliteration: Coca-Convoy.
You had one job!
+Caz
I live in a world where there's an unofficial TMNT Krang figure called NT Cerebral and an official Transformers toy called Pepsi Convoy.
Also, isn't Pepsi derived from the word "dispepsia"?
+homesponge
Not quite, but both come from the Greek 'pepsis' meaning digestion.
+Caz Pepsi Prime. Alliteration granted.
Wait, they already did that.
Coca-Convoy is Pepsi Prime's Shattered Glass counterpart.
Cuz coca cola used to have cocaine in it, considered to be evil by optimus prime, there for an alliance w Pepsi was forged
Drink a pepsi everytime Phelous says Pepsi during this video
2:41 Actually, y'know what that fake Pepsi Twist looks like? Those N64 models that were carefully crafted with the intent that they would only be seen from one angle, and one angle only, like the hallway that Zelda peaks through in Ocarina of Time.
Prime's the name and selling out is my game
Where’s my Dr. Pepper Wreck-Gar
Truly hilarious! Definitely appreciate Pepsi Prime/ Convoy! Great review on this product! I always get a big kick out of your Bootleg or Miraculous Merchandise zones videos!
I'm holding out for "Bud Ice Convoy"
8:10 I love you for referencing THAT episode. automatic 10/10
+Mugen Calibur Refresh my memory - which episode?
1:40 "The nightma-- I mean, *collaboration* becomes reality!"
"SUUUUUPEEEEEER!" All it needs is stars on its forearms.
That skit at the end is hilarious 😂
didn't they make mountain dew themed Age of Extinction toys?
Now i want a master piece of Pepsi prime^^
2:13 THE COLLABORATION BECOMES REALITY
I was really hoping you'd put a Coke can/bottle on the trailer, just to spite Pepsi.
Oh. What do you know.
"Powerful CO2 GUN" - LOL - I just bought the actual version because its so novel. I prefer Pepsi over Coke for sure. This is another great video 5 stars
We need a transformers-pepsiman crossover
No one dare diss upon Pepsi convoy our lord and savior.
0:58 ［初代ペプシコンボイ］[shodai pepushi konboi] actually translates as [original Pepsi Convoy]
More accurately, "G1 Pepsi Convoy"
初代 = Generation 1
Optimus Prime quenches the thirst of all human beings
and with this video, you Sir jumped to a transformers top collectors on my list ♥️
phelous your videos are great and funny please upload more and keep it up man!
THE COLLABORATION BECOMES REALITY
*cue music*
No wonder why Optimus wins every battle he gives a Pepsi to megatron
Now I want a Pepsi !
I actually love both optimus prime toys
Pepsimus Prime.
+ThePreciseClimber Optimus is a member of the Pepsibots.
Im sad it was prime instead of a pepsi man transformer lol 😂
Also now we have Optimus prime as a Target store truck
10:07 That made my day that was the funniest shit Ive seen all day XD
In America, Pepsi Lime was called Pepsi with a Lime Twist
What a twist: there is no bottle of Pepsi there. :D
Wait, so Pepsi Convoy is technically a double of the real Convoy? Sounds like a Decepticon plan (which is really, really stupid)
a CO2 gun? shouldn't that be CH2O3 gun? that is the acid in carbonated drinks that is the result of being carbonated. CO2 gun is just a fan with air you can't breath.
My Favorite Drink with my Favorite Toy Brand...
The best transfomer
no doubt
This is so awesome. Thiese should be re-made!
Oh, we got a Pepsi Convoy!
Ain't she a beautiful thing?
I want a Shattered Glass version of the ending sketch so that Coca-Cola Megatron can be the good guy like he deserves. "Why quench your thirst so recklessly?!" indeed.
Pepsi Convoy's backstop borrows elements from Kiss Players. Particularly the fact that it starts with Galvatron crashing into Tokyo, destroying much of the city, and souring people's opinions on Cybertronians.
Imagine if Pepsi Convoy was in kiss players. Could he have made the series somewhat readable?
The pepsibots and the decepticola
I wasn't expecting a mental image as hilarious as "RCicron" to come out of this. Phelous, you're the best.
response to moment at about 3:08: hey i actually really liked pepsi twist when it was out
How much pop did you have to drink to have all of those cans?!
Michael Bay: There, I've made the most marketing and advertising based Transformers product ever!
Pepsi: Challenge accepted
Pepsi convoy is missing the most important part roller
At least Optimus Prime isn't a sellout to COKE!!
NOW QUENCH OUR DARKEST THIRST...WITH SPRITE!!!
The one thing I like about this ridiculousness the most is the usefulness as a cupholder, lol
To balance things out Megatron should be advertising for Coke! Make it happen Takara!
That would be amazing, and thank you!
I have the American version of this. Won it in a Pepsi contest!
Oh god I remember seeing this on the internet. I forget there was a us release. Speaking of transformers I found last week at my local comic book that they were selling a beachcomber bootleg toy. At least the box was bootleg image of G1 beachcomber toy. I don't know of the figure.
"Till all thirst are quenched"
NemesiswillNIL8U Till all are pepsi.
So since this guy's backstory is connected to Kiss Players, will we ever see Pepsi Convoy versus Galva-Penistongue-Zombie?
I am drinking Pepsi while watching this review! Marketing works!
WOW, THREE SONS IN ONE DAY! (EAGLE NOISE HERE)
Pepsimus Prime _can_ defeat the Decepticans.
He'll never lose his _bottle_ or run out of _gas_ .
I remember seeing this silly crossover/re-issue Prime toy in a famous comics and gaming store in West Palm Beach a couple of years ago, it was going for a couple hundred dollars! It's no longer there today which means someone HAD to have in their collection.
You should have collaborated with The Cinema Snob and let him review the Pepsi while you review the truck! How could you miss this opportunity?

I misread Pepsi/Convoy as Pepsi Cowboy
I'll buy a Coca-cola Optimus Prime

Product placement at it's best. It's just so absurd I can't help but love it.
Damn i suddenly feel thirsty...for a Pepsi...and i want to buy some Transformers Toys
*sips pepsi smugly*
Now we need RC made into an RC Cola car :D
What? It makes sense for a crossver, right up there with Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, and Anaconda vs Lake Placid.
hauler is my favourite component of g2 defensor, he really looks good on my shelf next to my animated omega supreme and rescue bots triplechanger heatwave on top of my WotC (a subsidiary of hasbro) transformers d20 books.
Y' know what? I actually like this figure. Now, I don't like the figure itself... I like the novelty.
Can’t forget about target prime and Christmas convoy
Selling out is the right for all sentient beings.
Now to wait for the MMZ on the Toy Story combiner transformer.
I never thought until today that the mere act of putting a can of coca cola on a toy would make me laugh so much
DUDE THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS!!! PURCHASED ON EBAY ASAP!!! Although I am more of a 7UP guy myself :D
The collaboration I'm waiting for? Doritos & Bat-Bot Changer !!!
I bought the US version of Pepsi Prime some time back. For some weird reason he smelled like cinnamon. Seriously. Second I opened the box, I was assaulted with the scent of cinnomon. I kept a bottle of Live Wire on his trailer.
Yo, do you kind doing a review on the God Ginrai?
Masterpiece version when
Man, you really need to talk more about Kiss Players, that is both one of the funniest, and creepiest times in Transformers history.
"You know, just for that!" BAM Coke'd your ass, Prime! LOL
