You can tell that they actually cared enough about the transformers that they got the designs almost perfectly. Not to mention getting frank welker to voice megatron
Think of it this way: they respect his contracts. Frank Welker has been basically everywhere. Far as we're concerned, he's still collecting Royalties from Inspector Gadget. He might just be doing this role for fun. Robot Chicken does, however, struggle to hire him outside of Fred.
You can really tell when the creators are doing a gag they love. This quick clip seemed like an excuse to squeeze in as many of their favorite Decepticons as possible.
@@kainthedragoon8081 nope, there were one episode much earlier were Peter and Joe were gonna do a burglary but Joe had a change of heart in the van and had Megatron yell Do as I command to Peter. And there's an even earlier episode were Optimus is a jew and reads from the Tora
I guess being from the "Tron" family line, they may be siblings, so if Megs kills Negs, he may have to answer to his parents, and then lose his trust fund that he uses for his evil plans 😆
I managed to figure out all the Decepticons shown here (besides the canoe guy) From left to right: - Skywarp - Starscream - Shockwave - Barrage - Megatron (obviously) - Scrapper - Astrotrain - Hook - Rumble - Soundwave - Frenzy
@@JimmyTVu The main reason none of the Deluxe Decepticons (and the Deluxe Autobots) appeared in the original cartoon was because Hasbro had licensed the molds from Bandai (who acquired them from Takatoku Toys when it went bust) and slapped Autobot or Decepticon insignias on. Bandai was one of Takara's biggest competitors, and they didn't want to give them free publicity, so they forbade them from appearing in the cartoon (Jetfire, another Bandai mold, did appear, but with a different appearance and under the name "Skyfire"). Hasbro also licensed molds from Tomy (Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx), and ToyCo (Shockwave); Jetfire had to have a different appearance in the cartoon (and was named Skyfire), Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx were allowed to appear, but weren't sold in Japan (Tomy merged with Takara in 2005 to form TakaraTomy, and Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx's original toys were released in Japan in 2008), and ToyCo was too small to be of any threat to Takara, so they not only allowed Shockwave to be prominent, they also licensed the mold and gave him a Japanese name, Laserwave.
Wow, kudos for animators, I can recognize almost all of classic G1 Transformers, except Canoe-pticon and that green-yellow one between Megatron and Shockwave
That other guy is actually a pretty obscure Decepticon--he's Barrage, one of the 1985 deluxe Insecticons. Also, how very odd for this to be his animation debut.
Barrage's toy was recolored from a toy from a company that was Takara's rival called Takatoku Toy (the same company that created the Macross Valkyrie that would become Jetfire aka Skyfire) and as such him and the other Deluxe Insecticons didnt appear in the cartoon (even thought Jetfire did with an extreme redesign).
I like the art style but the joke is painfully unfunny we're going to have a Transformers series like this it's just going to be an animated adaption Michael bay's Transformers
Yeah, I mean, it would make much more sense it was Bombshell or any other Decepticon who actually appeared in the cartoon. This is like if they had a cutaway with the Autobots and Whirl or Topspin made a cameo.
Doubtful most battles in G1 followed the same formula where the decepticons come up with some scheme to steal energy/weapons/materials to build weapons from earth, autobots confront them and when megatron gets tired of the resistance decepticons abandon their plans and retreat.
They also won in the Season 2 episode Kremzeek the episode where Megatron accidentally creates an electrical creature and uses it as A weapon against the Autobots
“I’m taking this from a robot that turns into a CANOE?!?!” “When there’s a battle on a gently moving river you’ll want me.” (Transforms) Hilarious!!!! Wonder what the canoe Deceptacons name is.
Jimmy T. Vu Really? Because I thought Megatron was the so-called Negatron. I mean it’s only natural they make something funny like that. But what kind of canoe Deceptacon is named Negatron. I thought that name was for Megatron there. Get what I’m saying here?
Hey, wait a minute.. Deluxe Insecticon "Barrage" (green, yellow & orange guy standing between Shockwave and Megatron) was never in the cartoon. The artist must have owned "Barrage" as a child, I sure did.
Fun Fact: The green and yellow bot infront of Shockwave is Barrage, an insecticon that has next to no television media to him except for Family Guy as his first and only appearance in any media outside of the toyline.
negatron could be perfect for a covert recon to probe the perimeter defenses an Autobot resort in Canada where the Griffins are staying: his bland exterior cloaks him in plain sight from finest security cameras which regard the spy as a piece of wood and he could actually become friends with a few campers who choose him as their vessel to explore a river estuary that opens into raging rapids that even champion rowing teams use extra caution then they get surprised when their boat threads the needle at a formidable bend and they win a gold medal thanks to Nega’s steering then one day unfolds into a metal pessimist who is regarded as a drifter with a heart of gold. and Optimus Prime has no idea that a Decepticon has infiltrated the camp since Mega treats Negatron as the embarrassing relative who is notorious for consuming gallons of alcohol then starting drunken fights
Canoebot does have a point, no matter what continuity their in, the Autobots always ends up kicking their decepticon asses and winning, heck it's even the same story in shattered glass
He was. Then, he started haunting houses and possessing other Decepticons until he found a way to restore his physical body. Stupid inextiguishable mutant spark.
I can only imagine how that phone call went hey frank we need you to voice Megatron for about say thirty seconds whats it for oh where just going to have you argue with someone Frank Welker is it starscream Guy on the phone no its a robot that turns into a canoe Frank Welker im on my way
“I’m taking this from a robot that turns into a canoe!?!”- THE REAL MEGATRON😂
When theirs a battle on a gently moving river, you want me. *Transforms into a canoe.*
LMAO!!!!
As if they can’t fly.
@@robertnelson9599 I have always been confused about this one...can megatron fly or not....can soundwave transform into an airship or no
"Never understood why any self respecting decepticon would choose automobile as his vehicle mode, when he could have flight." - starscream
You can tell that they actually cared enough about the transformers that they got the designs almost perfectly. Not to mention getting frank welker to voice megatron
And how Barrage, a character who never even appeared in the original series, still makes an appearance here.
Plus the pretty close detail for every character. And the classic transformation sound. Not a parody one
@@Its_Charlie_Young THANK YOU! This one was driving me crazy! I couldn't figure who this bot was.
Yeah, they made them look like the actual characters instead of drawing them in the family guy artstyle
WAIT, THAT'S WELKER?
You never realise how much money they have until they get the original voice of Megatron from G1 to parody transformers.
Long live Frank Welker!!!
I guess agent smith wanted too much money.
Well Frank Welker is a regular actor who still voice acts. He still voices Fred from Scooby Doo. And he plays Scooby Doo.
Think of it this way: they respect his contracts.
Frank Welker has been basically everywhere. Far as we're concerned, he's still collecting Royalties from Inspector Gadget.
He might just be doing this role for fun. Robot Chicken does, however, struggle to hire him outside of Fred.
@@ziggybarone3168 True
Megatron: “I’m taking this from a robot that turns into a canoe?!”
Starscream (off camera): “Says the robot that turns into a gun!”
At least Megatron can fire... and, after evolving into Galvatron, he turns into a cannon.
What can you do with a canoe though?
Megatron: Shut up, Starscream!
Megatron was pretty useful on the Autobot shuttle...
Shut up Starscream nobody likes you
Starscream: I'm stupid, I'm Stupid.

Devin Leber wait that’s barrage? The only deluxe insecticon that’s ever reappeared was chopshop. Dang, one of the animators must be a huge G1 fan.
William Green Barrage and Astrotrain were surprises to me.

0:39 The Transformers G1 reboot by Seth McFarland
"from a robot that turns into a canoe"
Big talk coming from a mall ninja'd P38.
Next to Megatron and in front of Shockwave is Barrage, an Insecticon character who never appeared on television.
Luigi Mario so I guess this is the only appearance of a g1 cartoon Barrage we are gonna get.
I’m taking this from a robot that turns into a canoe 🤣🤣🤣
A robot that transforms into a kannoo just told megatron who is the leader by the way, that they won't win
Actually, if I remember correctly, the Decepticons usually won in most of the first g1 season
Doubtful most battles in G1 followed the same formula where the decepticons come up with some scheme to steal energy/weapons/materials to build weapons from earth, autobots confront them and when megatron gets tired of the resistance decepticons abandon their plans and retreat.
They also won in the Season 2 episode Kremzeek the episode where Megatron accidentally creates an electrical creature and uses it as A weapon against the Autobots
lets make a petition for hasbro to make a toy of that canoe tranformer
Or, more likely, a third party.
What?
@@Nameandaddresswitheld It's more likely that a third party company will do a toy of the canoe bot than Hasbro.
Okay.
I still want one.
Perhaps Negatron should take a page from Soundwave’s book and find himself a girl in those Christian chat rooms. Remember that gag?😉
Yes!
“I’m taking this from a robot that turns into a CANOE?!?!”
“When there’s a battle on a gently moving river you’ll want me.”

MrMatt474 I know, but the canoe bot has a negative mindset, hence the name Negatron
Jimmy T. Vu OK that makes more sense.
His name is Row-bot 😉
Of all the places for G1 Barrage to appear...
You'd think they'd have Bombshell there, but Barrage? I just wish we could ask the animators why Barrage was there.
When there’s a battle on the gently moving river, you’ll want me.
I’m surprised Megatron didn’t straight up blast him for talking back.
Galvatron would have... "Ahhh... Really really audacious... Waaaaaaahhhh!!!"
I mean he didn't killed Starscream even when the straight up punched him in the face (No, the movie doesn't count that was GALVAtron)
Megatron knew that he might need him for a battle on a gently moving river.
This scene is funny🤣🤣
Hey, wait a minute.. Deluxe Insecticon "Barrage" (green, yellow & orange guy standing between Shockwave and Megatron) was never in the cartoon. The artist must have owned "Barrage" as a child, I sure did.

Who ever did Megatron’s voice is pretty good!
It's actually Frank Welker. They managed to get him to reprise the role.

Frank Welker's a pretty cool guy for doing Scooby Doo, Megatron, Fred Jones and also other characters.
I'm quite glad that the creator of Family Guy is a big fan of Transformers or else this wouldn't exist!!!
And we wouldnt have Jewish Optimus Prime
I love that he expresses his love of other franchises in his show. From Star Wars, Star Trek, A-Team, He-Man, G.I. Joe, etc...
Roasting Brian and Frank Welker reprising his role is always great
Frank Welker & G1 sound effects! :D
When will there ever be a toy for the canoe?
Ask a third party company.
Badger hasbro for it
Can't believe they made a nod to the deluxe insecticons Barrage, I had that one when I was a kid, in fact I still have it.
0:47 so true
Ayyyye Astrotrain gets some screen time!
I like how megatron seems so influenced by this canoe-bot’s attitude
A canoe transformer, yeah let's put that in the movie
ALL HAIL MEGATRON!!!!!
“When there’s a battle on gently moving river you’ll want me”
They did so well on the actual designs of the bots. Whoever did the artwork was obviously a fan. And to have Frank Welker? Awesome.
I am quite surprised that they referenced this many characters from transformers with accurate looks.
Morning Drinking 😂
When theres a battle on the gently moving river youll want me lmao
I like how they included a Deluxe Insecticon and toy-accurate Constructicons into the skit. The animator really knew their Transformers
Is that what the green guy between Shockwave and Megatron is?
Out of all the henchmen Megatron shot and destroyed out of the blue, that guy should’ve been first on the list.
Damn! Barrage of all Decepticons made it in.
I think this is the only time anyone has ever drawn a G1 Deluxe Insecticon Barrage for a cartoon. (He's the green one with the yellow limbs.)
So much effort out into a 23-24 second gag, I love it
This cutaway alone did Transformers more justice than Michael ever did in all 5.
I love how Frank is back for being Megatron even in a cutaway gag.
Canoebot does have a point, no matter what continuity their in, the Autobots always ends up kicking their decepticon asses and winning, heck it's even the same story in shattered glass
I love Barrage there on the back. Its clear at least the animators really love TF lore.
Seth Mcfarlene Is actually a Transformers nerd as he grew up in the 80's :P
anyone else notice that shockwave / soundwave is here 2 times
This is a top-10 cutaway
In the g1 show seasprays girlfriend briefly becomes a transformer and she turns into a canoe
Glad they got frank welker for this.
Most clean cutaway Seth Mcfarlens ever done. Proud of him for trying.
Hey
I thought starscream was dead
👋
GEDX Addy SV The 90%of that decepticons were dead or reformated in another character.
He was. Then, he started haunting houses and possessing other Decepticons until he found a way to restore his physical body. Stupid inextiguishable mutant spark.
he wasnt Galvatron in this scene
Gotta respect how their Decepticons are accurate to the G1 style.
i am surprised that they knew who Barrage was to include him as an background character
I wish Quagmires' class existed in real life
Is this the only time that Barrage has been on an animated series? If that's the case that's both hilarious and sad at the same time.
So many memories about watching this at the wrong age
0:38 oh hey a imperfect Cell transformer
Wow the art style looks good surprisingly
That canoe robot is pretty cool. Wish we could see more of him.
The way he said ‘canoe’ though.
😂🤣
Funny because there IS a scene in G1 where Megatron and the others get washed away by a river at the end.
Hasbro should make Negatron into a real figure.
Soundwave’s character design is great and is very close to how he appeared in G1. Especially with some of the other Decepticons
