    Why do the Decepticons always lose?

    No well in the hell?
    1. See TF Prime UM vs Shockwave
    2. Toon G1 Shockwave was never portrayed as strong and was taken out by Starscream.
    QFT
    Agreed, especially when this is only toys ads.

    His work is fantastic.

    Glad to see that Hasbro has given him more work to do. :D

    Posted this a few posts back lol. It's just one guy from Taiwan.
    counter656

    From the look of things, he's been the go-to guy for these since CombinerWars. You can totally see how his work improve over time, and with more sponsored works he gets to upgrade his equipment and diorama sets. Though I kinda missed the tissue explosions :p

    Wooooah. This was friggin' awesome.

    Well-executed stop motion animation like this never fails to get me hyped! (Seriously, who doesn't want to see their toys "come to life" and fight each other!?) It's a shame that these promotional videos don't get the attention they deserve - this technique is extremely time consuming, and the production team's enthusiasm (and patience!) is clearly evident.

    Poor Flywheels. Considering his fate in MtMtE, it seems he's now forever destined to only leave behind a lower torso and pair of legs to bury (or cannibalize for parts!)

    I had a feeling this wasn't going to end in his favour; I mean, the toy already divides into two halves, so he's kind of tailor-made for a "bifurcation-related death scenario".

    (Seeing his lower torso glance around nervously using his combination post as a rudimentary head was brilliant.)

    :D

    The suspense in these vids would be better if the Con's actually won some of these fights. But oh well.

    Yeah UM is 2nd only to Optimus IMO but the battle in question should've still been closer. So if the wins by the Autobots continue to be as one sided as this one (the first one was far more entertaining) then I'm skipping them moving forward.

    Exactly! Why is it even a 5 million year old war if fights are this easy...?

    That made me want a shockwave with all that armor. When Ultra Magnus ran I had to laugh. Looked like he had some issues.

    because these are made in an area where bad guys don’t sell very well so of course the good guys would win.

    Also because they’re the good guys

    These are really cool vids. Makes me want to get my toys and start playing with them (complete with sound effects and bad bad voice acting!)

    Wow! These are amazing! There's something so compelling about stop motion animation, especially when it's so well done like this.
