    I think the Fall of Cybertron version of Grimlock is my favorite. Pure unrestricted badass. Two of my favorite ever moments of grimlock will always be when he fights bombshell/hardshell in the game and he repeatedly smashes hardshell's face into a computer terminal to knock him out and then the computer goes "Optical scan recognized" and opens the door lol as well as the end of the game when he manages to transform despite shockwave's shackles and tears off shockwave's arm

      I like to think that after Grimlock survived the space Bridge explosion and lead and protected the few autobots on Cybertron, he was captured by Shockwave again who repainted him black and green and erased his memories of being an Autobot which led to his RID incarnation. Then after the series finale of RID, he reunited with Snarl and Sludge who helped him recover some of his lost memories while hunting down Predaking the last surviving Predacon and repainted himself back into his grey, gold and red colour scheme.
      P. S I think RID Sideswipe was named after the one of the video games who was one of the many Autobots how died while visiting some of Cybertron's colneys.

    One interesting note on the 2015 RID Grim you overlooked - partway through they set him up with a faux vehicle disguise to allow him to move around unseen, as a green construction shovel, which I'm thinking is a direct homage to the 2001 RID Grim!

    I've said it once... and I'll say it until the day I die. But Grimlock is my favorite character in not just the Transformers franchise, but in all of fiction. As a four year old child, I mainly liked him because of his alternate mode. But as I grew older, I understood more of his character. A truly conflicted character who believed in not just strength, but knowing when to use it. His belief that strength wasn't a power to be abused, and those that did are weak, is truly inspiring. Grimlock is ALWAYS going to be my favorite character... long live the king!

      For many people Jazz theory presents an impenetrable barrier which only the most dedicated or gifted can breach. Certainly some of the chord progressions which Jazz musicians are expected to improvise over can test even an advanced practitioner of the style; not least because of the tempos. While this article does not claim to improve your improvisational or performance abilities, it will I hope, introduce you to the language of Jazz.
      Because Jazz music spans over a century of styles and sub-genres, the theory which I will discuss below is broadly based on concepts which underpin most of these styles. Much Jazz theory is drawn from existing usage in Classical or other styles of music and I will connect these where applicable. Before we go on, however, it is essential that you remember this fact:
      Jazz essentially uses the same 12 notes that Pop, Rock, Classical, Blues and most all other Western music uses. It is how these notes are stacked, grouped and performed which gives Jazz its sound.

    I love these episodes. overviews of specific characters are great. I've been writing fanfiction for fifteen years, and stuff like this really helps with the transformers stuff I'm working on. In making my own continuity in which to set my story, I have a lot of different interpretations of characters to draw on to populate it. episodes like this help me look at all the traits of the different versions of the characters and see which bits are the most core to the character. I mean, grimlock was never an issue for that, I've got my grimlock pretty well formed in my head. but there are so many other characters that this series has really helped me with.

    • @SeviathTheHumanDrago
      @SeviathTheHumanDrago 2 роки тому

      I too would like to make my own transformers series but I am going to make a stop motion UA-cam series. I have this idea of including every single version of the characters into 1 single story, the idea being that the cartoon universes are all different planets in the same universe, minicons are just a natural extension of transformers that help bring out their partner bots fulls potential and cyber planet keys further boost a bots capabilites by enhancing them with a unique power granted to them by whichever prime they are specifically descended from since I did take the idea of a few primes being reincarnated via the Wellspring of Allsparks through their descendants from IDW. One of the ideas I also have is that the various Optimus' are all just different commanders on different planets or the same planet just a different quadrant, but Optimus Prime is the actual commander of all autobot forces since he has the Matrix of Leadership. I imagine one of the things that makes Optimus so hard to defeat in my iteration is that his ability literally allows him to create Holo-Replicas of past Actual-Primes to aid him in combat with their unique weapons fighting styles and abilities.

    This is one of your best, ever, pieces of work in your always excellent Basics series. I'm repeatedly impressed by the standard you set in content development and presentation. I came to this episode very late, obviously but... I'm super happy to be here. Like most, I adore Grimlock... my personal favorite iteration, though, is one of his few non-dino modes. His very limited Titanium figure from the Fall of Cybertron series is just superb. The Titanium figurines were always grossly underrated with both his, and Prowl's figures especially contributing to that proof.

    As someone who grew up with the UK Transformers comic, my favourite Dinobot was always Swoop... I love how the rivalry with the Predacon Divebomb (which grew into a rivalry between the Dinobots and Predacons as teams) all started with a misprint in one of the very early American strips (where Swoop apparently had a different name - Divebomb - in one panel of a Cybertron flashback, while all the other Dinobots had the same names), which raised a question in the UK letters page from some eagle-eyed kid about how his Predacon counterpart ended up with the name, which got a hastily-improvised answer from Mr Furman about some contest to win the name (in which the Predacon had cheated), which led to a story in the black-and-white strip showing this continuing grudge being carried by Swoop over 4 million years until the present day.
    From an awkward readers' question to an amazing grudge match years later which levelled an entire town as the two Divebombs - former and current - had a spectacular air battle to settle things once and for all, with both being shot down and ploughing through buildings as they crashed... this is why I loved Simon Furman's writing, because he not only used the original two-sentence character notes he was given but added to the mythos and expanded on the basic character traits until you had Transformers that actually felt *sentient* rather than just robots programmed with certain quirks.

But Grimlock doesn't need all that mythos to be a BADASS ROBOT T-REX THAT BREATHES FIRES AND CAN BECOME A BIG BUFF ROBOT GUY WHAT PUNCHES REALLY HARD
