@TheVeritas1

The Beavis and Butthead comparison is SO spot on.

Sorry if you were expecting to see a Halloween episode, but as this one doesn't go live until the day has passed, there was no room in the schedule to squeeze in a spooky one this year!

I liked these guys. Runabout and Runamuck were somewhat cult favourites of mine. Didn’t have many appearances in the comic or the cartoon but they were always memorable. Being terrorised by Starscream’s Ghost, saving Cybertron from being Unicron’s new body, graffitiing the Statue of Liberty, fighting Circuit Breaker, having a punch-up with Drag Strip and Dead End, and of course, joining Starscream and Shockwave’s coup against Scorponok…AS WELL AS being in the Transformers/Avengers crossover. Yep, the Battlechargers have had quite the career.

Transformers has been loaded with subtypes for decades, yet so many of them will slip through the cracks to become obscure or even outright forgotten. So kudos to you for shining a light on them :)

One day, when the world needed him the most, Chris returned to give the basics on more Transformers terminology… But enough of that! Here’s Runamuck and Runabout! Runabout: Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh. Headlights. Runamuck: Oh yeah! Eh-he-he-he-he-he. Uh… headlamps. Both: (more idiotic laughter)

To be honest with everyone in this community. I never really heard of these two characters and I have to admit that I am looking forward to this video to find out more about them.

White and orange is a pretty cool colour scheme I don't think we see very much of.

Also, I know I’ve been harping on about more Energon Universe content, but with the reveal of M.A.S.K. entering the continuity, I would love to see some discussion about how it would tie into the Transformers mythos.

I thought the Beavis and Butthead of Transformers were Skids and Mudflap

My friend's dad had 2 of those. In school a few years back he showed me the bots, and since I was the biggest and only transformers geek I helped. That's when I found out about these things. They are really cool, I'll tell you that.
