Rock-afire Explosion Tribute by Ethan Long
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Super Fan Ethan Long gathered, edited and produced this interesting collage of moments in the life of The Rock-afire Explosion from its heyday of mass production to today's humble struggle to keep performing for you.
4 years ago, I made this tribute video using several archived clips and photos of the Rockafire Explosion, from it's creation on the assembly line, to its use in Showbiz Pizza restaurants and finally to its ongoing commitment to entertain thanks to the hard work and dedication to its creator. The song used is "Die Roboter" by Kraftwerk, which translates to "The Robots". After deciding whether or not to use the english version, I decided to use the original german version, which in hindsight may have been a mistake. There's been some confusion over the language the song is in. To clarify, it's mostly in german, however there is the line "Ya tvoi sluga, ya tvoi rabotnik" which is russian for "I'm your slave, I'm your worker". I really should've either used the english version, or added subtitles, as the lyrics are lost to people who aren't familiar with the song. It's basically sung by a robot voice declaring that "we are the robots", and that they have been programmed to do anything the user desires. I thought this would be fitting to put over images of an animatronic band, and that's how the video started.
People have asked which version of the song I used, as this is not the studio version. This video uses a live performance from 2009. You can find it here. ua-cam.com/video/RQmSKebicZo/v-deo.html And yes, the red eyes at the end were a slight nod to FNAF, since it was very popular at the time I made this video. Some people don't like that, but I was just trying to cater to the fans who are interested in both RAE and FNAF. Forgive my attempt to market the video.
Special thanks to Aaron for liking my video enough to post it on the official Rockafire channel! Hope you guys continue to enjoy it for many years to come.

Great job! This is what got me into the rockafire
*salutes* good work, ethan
man wish I was alive back then, they run so smooth! when I go to chuck e cheeses they barely even move! (and I love learning about this, it's so cool and interesting! :D)
Pokemon rules!! :3 omg! Me too!
PokéGuavGirl 07 theres one in west virgena (only one)
The reason they move so smooth is they run on air not purely electronic powered motors like other robots, yes chuck e cheeses run on air pressure too but Aron fetcher is an expert and knows what level they should run on.
I have found my old self lol
PokéGuavGirl 07 same
1:27-1:35 BILLY BOB'S ARMY!!!!

By god Aaron, your animatronics are very high tech for the 80s. I hope I can see a show for my birthday.
But y tho I did
They were not high technological. Compare them to the old Disney park's ones.
Welp off you go to Orlando Florida in a factory

0:16 DA FOCE OF FATZ'S MINONS
Where did you find the videos and pictures of the production line? I have only found a few.
There were a lot of sources for what was used in this video. Most were from old news reports and behind the scenes videos that are fairly easy to find on youtube. A good portion of the videos were featured in the documentary. It took 2 years of building up an archive of material before I even started making this, but I always wanted this song put to the Rock-afire.
+memphiselle1 ok thank you. Great video by the way.
3:39 mitzi is so cute moving her ears
Mitzi looked like a Karen L o l
Damn true, and when rolfey put his head backwards and the ears go backwards too 😻
Karen alert
@@marthydoemar8159wydm? also i dont act like a karen so dont assume
@@ondine16 I was talking about mitzi she looks like one
0:12 oh it’s seems to be russian words!
German
Nobody asked you.
@@jrperry1611 wah
I'm german, and even I thought that part was russian lmao
@@jrperry1611 agreed
1:46 ¿That is the wolf pack 5 beach bear?
Nope
Rock-Afire Explosion. Forever! Thank you for the greatest assortment of animatronic characters who have the most heart and soul out of anything in electronic entertainment history. They never cease to deeply move me in song or in skit.
DoctorArcade there is one in west vergina (only one)
Oye hablas español?
its kinda creepy yet awesome how they move exactly in sync
where did you get the footage of the animatronics being tested all at one time in the factory?
Cameron McGehee the movie
idk
Decahexic well he’s the creator of them haw could he not
I know
I know where from he has them :3 , ask me if you want >;3
These characters will last forever. I know it. Sure their masks and mechanics and decay but they'll last forever in our hearts.
1:49 The new horror movie Dook Larue
1:48 WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING WITH A DOOK LARUE MASK
Forget the mask, he has K N E E S
*• Jazzy •* lol
L E G
I think that is a prototype duke mijin because of his bending knee cylinder joint and his arm mechanism.
Nah he just on leg day
I like it!!! The Kraftwerk music got me!! I love kraftwerk!!!! :-D ;-)
2:00 I love that robot
Is called “Mitzi Mozarella” i think
Wait which girl if it’s the Mitzi then ok then, but if it’s the young girl then.........hold up
The animatronic not the girl lol
@@Blue_Flight I'm kidding lol
@@Blue_Flight yeah the animatronic
4:10
I bet they have it out for Munch’s Make Believe Band
Do u think that rock afire is the make believe band?
@@4457Specialk yes it is just look it up and aslo they have the same body structure
Ok
@@4457Specialk they were used in concept unification to turn into munch's make believe band when chucky cheese was getting bankrupt and Aaron offered to buy chucky cheese they remained separate identities and they had to switch the REC band to MMBB(munch's make believe band)
@Jws0127 3 what did they say??? ??
why were there eyes red at the end , thar not monsters thar adoribal anamals that are anamatronics
FNAF crazy umm, do u know how to spell? (Not trying to be mean)
And the difference is?
Said the FNAF fan
@@katierogne3586 Well, most of the FNAF fandom is five-year-olds who think they are super cool because they are in the fandom.
That was not Necessary
First off why is this getting recommend now? 😂
Second, this is the most interesting thing I’ve seen all quarantine
Lastly, good night
If your a rock afire fan this is basically our fever dreams
End was creepy
FNAF 24 CONFIRMED!!!
@@Adri-oy8si Get out...this has nothing to do with FNAF
@@ellioteternal It's just a prank.
YeS iT wAs
Agree
1:27 it's so funny for me at them billy bobs xD
4:10 the eyes are red becouse they turn on red light is using not much electricity , and it means that they are still on if you want to check on them in dark ;3
And for a minute I thought these guys had a murder mode
@@emeraldxlj765 I mean they got that too but it’s mostly helpful so the power bill doesn’t go up too much
@@emeraldxlj765 hehehe
@@hyde5747 yeah!
Umm no ur wrong that literally was edited on
Awesome video, Great to see alot of activity for this channel
1:49 wtf is happening there?!
It’s very questionable
-\_(·°/)_/-
1:48 YoU hAvE mOrE Of ThIs
dook worm sally lol
When I watch this, I feel like I found a top secert video showing creative engineering's plan to take over the world with the robots and are planning to update the robots with new technology that they were developing and then the project was abandoned and never seen the lights of day. Heck that ending with the animatronics with the red glowing eyes makes me think that about FNAF.
Fun fact, Chuck e cheese is just showbiz renamed! the old chuck e cheeses i believe also use the old rae robots
@Tommie Andersson that’s halfway correct when concept unification happened they kept the RAE animatronics but re-skinned so almost but no Chuck E. Cheese is not showbiz pizza renamed
Epic way to showcase what was once was using some very special footage. Thanks that was a privaledge to watch :)
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@memphiselle1 ur not the creator
@@charlotte7587 Yes I am. Name's Ethan Long. Rebranded my channel a few years ago. I personally sent a file to Aaron to post on his channel. Check my channel for the original upload.
2:29 - 2:52 good part, it just doesn't need the zoom in and flash effect
0:16 0:59 1:27 it's kinda surreal to see some of my favorite characters just being made and produced
This is a dream come true!!!!
4:06 ummmm what?
Freddy fazbear confirmed???
0:57 my nightmare is real!!!
Like 1 bili bob 2 wolf 3 mouse 4 monke 5 dog 6 2dog
(Bruh i was so stupid 2 years ago)
1:49 Animatronics at 3 AM
Everyone is talking about the worm and I want to talk about this 3:22
They have to cover him up to prevent any damage to his fur and stuff. Also the creator has a dog so sometimes he has to cover them up during tours to make sure it doesnt get to excited and jump on one
Damn How many clones of Billy Bob, Beach Bear and the others have?
I always liked the rock afire better than Chuck e cheese
My favorite video by my favorite friend
Feels like I'm in a factory
Great Work! I have been studying the rock a fire for a few months now!
hey, aaron, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT...THING WITH A DOOK HEAD ON IT?
It was the original dook from the 70s before he was finished
Nvm its a mitzi skeleton with a dook head on it
All I heard was "YATVOO"
Ya tvoi sluga, ya tvoi rabotnik. Russian for "I'm your servant, I'm your worker." :)
Thanks. :)
Im scared
@@memphiselle1 oof the lyrics sound scary for this type of video since they are animatrionics being controlled by Aaron..
Can’t wait for 2022, I’m hopefully coming to Orlando, and I might come to CEI
WDYM Your excited for 2022? (Pls answer me)
Oh, nevermind Pls don’t answer me
1:48 didn't know dook can stand
It wasnt a dook robot it was a mitzi skeleton with a dook head on it
@@Kelpflakes thanks for telling me :)
Чё на русском в начале говорит?!
Тип я учлашал я твой слуга, я твой работник
Это так и есть
3:13 that boy is like WHAT THE
he thought they were statues maybe until he saw Billy bob speak
the end scared me besides that this video was so AWESOME
Same
This vid is pretty cool. Good song too. I know its "we are the robots", but I was thrown off because it never said "we are the robots". Lol.
I don’t even get what language it is supposed to be but I definitely understood „Wir sind auf alles Programmiert“
4:10 Rolfe DeWolfe: Chuck's gonna pay for this! Earl Schmerle: Wait, what do you mean? Billy Bob Brockali: Are some of y'all saying that you are still mad at Chuck E?
they should keep making more
They shutdown in the 90s
@@banzaibomberno5646 it still exists. The person who made this is the creator of the RAE

Si es cool
Que te puedo decir yo ;)
3:16 dat face
In the original video, he's explaining what electronimation is when Billy Bob "suddenly" adds to what he was saying. I guess he was supposed to look surprised. XD
memphiselle1 XD
🌻Dat🤖Face😉
Is the creator :3
man this bringst old Memoiren back
I remember watching this video a long time ago and thinking It was so cool, and It still is
Why does duke when he’s standing look cursed at 1:48
It might be a 2nd generation animatronic with a dook mask
1:19 funtime freddy IRL without his face plates
Never

3:03 sad Billy Bob
I love the part in the beginning with all the fatz playing together.
1:47 uhh.. wot?
me and my friends at music class: 1:27
1:48 This is cursed
Rock afire explsion is the best :D
I'm this song there are Russian words i know what they mean
I feel like the people who made this video wanted to scare the children by using the process of making these lovable characters.
понимает сможете покупать граница
At the end of the video they all become possessed
That was creepy I didn't have much time to write this in my other one
OMG I wish I grew up in the 80’s
do an update on the wolf pack 5
When you look to the picture of all those animatronics ready to be shipped without some of their cosmetics are probably all Chuck e Cheese animatronics or don’t exist anymore
Me to the music: 🤛🥳🤜
Yeah I'd love to go there as a kid..
Definitely!
Hey, I have been there
For some reason the cover of this video, reminds me of the room full of mama tattletales Secret, from the game tattletale.
Love: FNAF fan.
Uhhh I’m ur love?
@XxShadow WolfxX
Wtf!!!
No, I don't know you
3:38 I don't know. What type of mask that Aaron. Put on her but it looks weird. A little bit creepy with the teeth sticking out.
Prototype mask!
Ok arron...... that was scary in the end they had red eyes XD
I’m the birthday boy at 1:54. 🥳
Cool
Dang I remember them from when I was 8
