    I liked that commercial... reminds me a bit of the 1980s commercials.


    I don't know why they label these youtube videos for certain countries. Even the ones in different languages should be labelled according to language instead of some random country that speaks it....

    1 - Australia is an English speaking country, so the regular American version would do for Australia.
    2 - The commercial was still narrated by an American accent, so wasn't even in an Australian narrator to make it an "Australian" version of that commercial.
    3 - And... we don't even have Hotspot in Australia, IF they even end up using this commercial here.

    I have to give it to them. That is one of the best TF toy commercials I've seen in a long time. :)  It really evoked the energy of the G1/G2 commercials back in the day. Props to whoever made the 3D renders of Defensor and Menasor!

    One thing I find funny is that the commercial can't seem to decide whether to have Streetwise's hood flipped up or down. In fact, you'll notice that it goes from down to up when Defensor is assembling. Even more amusing is that someone stuck Groove on upside-down like in the promo image. :p

    I love the Super Sentai-style combinations in these ads. Makes me sad that they haven't done one for Menasor to have a full set.

    How is this an Australian ad if they didn't say Menasarrrr? Other than that, it was pretty awesome. The animation looked really fluid, if a bit bouncy.

    why Hasbro isnt bombarding the TV prime times slots with this is boggling.

    This is baddass. I just showed my son and he immediately asked to play with Menasor and Defensor..Hasbro..we have those 2, but the kids that see this and dont will GENERATE MONEY...

    Hope the Machinima Combiner Wars series will look like this. Wishful thinking.
