I love how literally the G1 cartoon used the term "Golden Age". Like yeah the whole planet is gold sure why not
-
Anyone else think it's sad that, across all of Transformers, we've only ever known them when they were at war? It'll be 40 years this year that they've been around, and peace has always eluded them 😟
-
Interestingly, no Transformers story has ever followed up with a "Silver Age" and "Bronze Age" as in archaeology and comic books.
-
THE YEAR IS 2024, and we here on Earth are THANKFUL for your wisdom and insight, Chris! On point, as always.
-
I really hope the upcoming 'Transformers One' movie expands further on this period. If it focuses on the right ideas, it could easily be one of the best Transformers movies.
-
I’m really fascinated by Exarchon, and would love to see him in other media. I wish IDW had gotten the chance to fully explore that Quintesson connection.
-
I'd love it if you did an episode on the geography of Cybertron!
-
It's amazing how many perspectives you can look at to see what Cybertron was like before the Great War. Great vid, Chris!
-
Interesting how the Quintessons didn’t build Cybertron to be gold colored originally. Meaning the Golden Age is an unintended byproduct of Cybertronian prosperity.
-
This is a fantastic narrative, that the golden age of the Transformers is when the war has ceased and the fighting allows Cybertron to become a war free world.
-
Like many other cornerstones of Transformers lore, the Golden Age certainly has its share of unique narratives.
-
When i read the thumbnail i instantly told myself " before the war, there was...... A cube"
-
sweet, a Basics video for my birthday
-
This was a very interesting episode Chris. I knew next to nothing about this concept of Transformers lore, aside from maybe the 13 Primes.
-
Was there ever a Basics episode about Cybertronians who where neither autobt or decepticon?
-
I think the golden age is probably what some of my Autobot allier OCs (and the universe that is my take on tf lore) were created in, and the dark parts were probably conducted behind closed doors that few bots know about-my OCs not being among them.
-
A golden age, a period of great happiness, prosperity, and achievement. Is what I got when I Googled the words golden age. With the excellent video we just watched, we got the history and the different forms that the Golden Age has taken in Transformers media. It got me thinking did the original 13, Quintessons when in control of Cybertron, each of the colony worlds and even the Decepticons. If this was ever to be fleshed out it would interesting and bring out something new.
-
I absolutely loved this episode, great to have you back for 2024 Chris ❤️👏
-
Thank you Chris, and thank those who requested this video! I learned so much about Cybertronian history, I have so much more fuel for Transformers fan fiction.😁
-
I really would watch a video about the council. There was one in the War Within comic, in Beast Machines (the council of elders) and in the WfC videogame. Who were its members and how did fit it in the cybertronian society?
