Behold, my friends - my very FIRST UA-cam animation (from the year 2009), and recipient of over 64 million views. Though my original was deleted by HIT Entertainment, hundreds of low res copies have been reuploaded over the years. That said, I thought it might be fun to celebrate it's 10 year anniversary by expanding and remastering the original animation, and exporting a brand new widescreen version in beautiful 1080p. Providing this video survives the light of day, I may be persuaded to remaster the rest. Hope you all enjoy this little blast from the past. More NEW stuff is on the way! -James
I remember watching this over, and over, and over on my moms laptop back then which feels like a lifetime ago, I loved trains, Thomas, and transformers and now I work for a real railroad with real old steam engines and I can say without your creation I would not be where I am today, and I thank you for that James.
I can only imagine the amount of excitement your son felt when he was informed that, for once, he could say crap and you wouldn’t ground him. Truly a medal of honor.
Fan projects don't deserve to get taken down. HiT Entertainment made a huge mistake back in the day. Great to see this back in most of it's full glory. Something I hadn't realized until seeing an official Transformers is that Op-Thomas-Prime's name is parodying Optimus Prime. That was quite clever.
Heck, the reason why is that they don't want to get overshadowed by some...fan-made, and that is why they decided to taken it down due to fear and jealousy.
@@laurenbernardfrio7679 That is only going to make me want the fan project more. In fact, I would probably not support their official products unless they died done on the takedown of official products. The more fan projects get taken down, the less likely I'll support the official products.
Who else watch this when they were little and just found this randomly and just started watching it because they want to remember the old days. Edit: thx so much for likes and comments
I stopped watching this when the Fun Police came along and ruined the fun. But now, Thomas is back to say the quote that started it all to those idiots! ‘You best recognize, suckas, me and my fans, WERE NUMBER ONE!’
0:49 - I actually like how Thomas shows his handsome trademark smile, after hearing what Trouble Tron was talking about Spencer going berserk and transforming into Megatrain, he smiles at the camera, knowing that he can handle Spencer as Megatrain.
James Farr I had a strange dream and I was at a toy factory type place and found a section with Thomas the tank engine and came straight to here because I remembered trainsformers.
I think this is was my first ever video I ever watched in yt... God I just wish I get to see those days come back again... This was my childhood I remember going to my friends telling them there is some trains formers n they used to deny it saying there's only transformers

I was just minding my own business when suddenly a flashback hit me about a thomas mecha series, so I searched it, and behold, the second I saw the intro I knew this was IT! This brings back so many memories, I think I watched this series when I was about 5, 6, or 7, and Im hoping its the one I remember, I had some wierd memories about a line along the lines of "And I saw him and knew he was proud of me" after a victory or something... Edit: When vector presses the button to transform... JUST HOW I REMEMBER IT IM SO HAPPY!!!
@@JamesFarrOfficial Now that ive seen it again, what I remember looked a lot more dark and I think there was fire and damaged buildings, then Vector looking directly down on the crowd, in a much gloomier setting, and maybe further into the series, it was also nighttime...
@@JamesFarrOfficial I noticed that the main thomas theme is missing from the intro and the end. That's probably the reason why the first 4 trainsformers videos got taken down.
Amazing work James! It's amazing to see how much your channel has grown through the years, by just this tiny animation that everybody loved. I remember seeing this as a 5 year old kid. It was amazing to see both of my favorite things together. Still, all the videos you have made through the years are as amazing as you. Keep up the great work and inspiration! -Tony (PD. - Call Of Chuthulu was amazing!))
When everyone is talking about Minecraft's return in 2019 but no one says a thing about Trainsformers: *Grunts in Decastator* Edit: BTW this vid has hit 8 mil views.

Yooooo... I didn't know you reuploaded these, and remastered too, no less. That's awesome! Hopefully Mattel doesn't interfere like HiT did in the past...
1:27 When I was a kid, I thought Spencer (Megatrain) said "I'm Thomas-Prime!", which it confused me. However, right now... I guess he said "Hi, Thomas-Prime!".
The nostalgia that awakens on seeing this is simply insanely delightful. Can never forget that i guess. I have no idea why i used to get scared at childhood yet i used to watch the same thing multiple times for no reason.
Oh my God, i was like 5-6 years old when I was watching your animations, sometimes even with my mother, now i'm 14 years old, I remember when I also drawing some transformer trains, what a nostalgia 🥺
Jose Garcia : you see that was my train and I will use best friend together and we transform into a opThomas Prime but Thomas got her all her weapons he got and is so much cool awesome
