Home of TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS - breaking down the complex history of the Transformers franchise and its characters and concepts for fans new and old!
This weekend, supporter Charlie Hodgeman sponsors a look at the a pair of hard-charging, fast-changing Decepticon hoodlums whose idea of a good time is blowing something up! It's The Basics on Transformers' own Beavis and Butthead, RUNABOUT and RUNAMUCK, the BATTLECHARGERS! Watch it early and ad-free now by becoming a channel member, or joining up over on Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/142187950
This weekend, it's time to get Back to The Basics! We're kicking off a run of sponsored episodes with a first for series, chosen by Patreon supporter CD Freedom - the first episode I've done about a real person! From Marvel to Dreamwave to IDW, from G1 to Beast Wars to the movies, and beyond - it's The Basics on the most prolific Transformers comic book writer of all time, SIMON FURMAN! Watch early and ad-free now by becoming a channel member, or supporting on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/141382304
The Basics will be back next weekend! Before then, join me for a little livestream tomorrow evening, where I'll reveal the subjects chosen for the upcoming sponsored episodes, and we can do some questions and just hang out for a bit!
Okay, it's about time I was getting back to work around here! Let's start with some sponsored episodes! If you've not seen these before, they're your chance to pick the subject of my next few episodes, by pledging to the now-available, higher-priced tier over on my Patreon. They're extremely limited, with only four available, and it's first come, first served, so go go go! If you're quick, you might even be able to suggest something for Halloween later this month! www.patreon.com/c/chrismcfeely
I'm one of the many Transformers fans who was invited by ‪@ThePrimeTheater‬ to collaborate on their new video, the fifth in their series of Transformers Retrospectives, sharing my thoughts on the last couple of years of Transformers media, from EarthSpark to TF One to Skybound and more! It's a big one - go give it a watch!
Well, summer's got to end some time! I hope everyone enjoyed "The Summer of Optimus Prime" on the channel these past few months - it allowed me to hit on some topics I've been meaning to for a long time, and have fun with some quirkier ones like Roller and the energon axe! Now that it's done, this post is just to let you all know that I'll be on break for a little while; the crunch of getting this summer's other big video, "Generation None," done in the run-up to TFNation took a lot out of me and wiped out my Basics buffer, so I'm just taking a little time to reset, work on some other projects, and clear my head. I'll be back before you know it - but in the meantime, watch out for Sponsored Episodes being made available on my Patreon sometime in the near future, so you'll have the chance to pick the subjects I tackle when I get back to work! www.patreon.com/c/chrismcfeely
This weekend, we conclude the Summer of Optimus Prime with a look as far back into Optimus's past as it's possible to go! Before he was Autobot leader... before he was Orion Pax... before the rest of the Transformer race had even been born! This the legend of the lost member of Primus's divine warriors - it's The Basics on the THIRTEENTH PRIME! As always, you can get early ad-free access to this episode by either signing up as a channel member, or supporting the show on Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/137493550
