Sharkticons are Transformers’ answer to one of pop culture’s most enduring questions: “what if there were loads of angry wee guys running about”
Well they are (a subspecies? of) cybertronians
Goblins
The Wee Free men from Discworld
Technically the angry wee guys would be the Scraplings.
*character is clearly designed to look like a piranha*
Hasbro: this is a shark
Piranhacon doesn't sound as good, gonna give them that.
@@mikhaelgribkov4117 Isn't piranhacon the name of the seacon combiner?
Finally 😁 I know I'm not the only one who thinks the Sharkticons look more Piranhacons.
@@mikhaelgribkov4117 I agree
The name came first! The creatures were always designed with sharks in mind - "fantasy beasts" with the qualities of a shark (teeth, a fin), according to their designer.
Quintessons: (rulers of the Sharkticons)
Grimlock: *"Me Grimlock about to end this man's whole career."*
"Me Grimlock say execute them!"
LOL
Grimlock : Me Grimlock say execute them
Lmfao that part in my top favorite moments of the guy
Major Respect to
Grimlock The Leader of The Dinobots 👊😌🤖🦖🤖
I think they follow the strongest guy with a bite attack, normally this is the Allicons that are physically unable to go against the Quintessons but Grimlock is bigger and stronger then them.
"We can't hold them forever Kup, but we can give them one humongous repair bill!"
- Hotrod on the Sharkticons.
"Then lets give them a little demolition derby"
I like how they did the Sharkticons in Cyberverse and made Gnaw the leader.
That is how it should have been in the first place. Gnaw as Sharkticon leader makes perfect sense.
It's funny how consistent these little guys have stayed over the years
It's almost funny how little consistent the Transformer canon is
Why mess with perfection lol
Hilariously perfect for the little chonkers
This is because they are without flaw.
Just like real sharks
Always loved the Sharkticons, they were such a perfect balance of menacing and adorably ugly.
I think they should have a combiner called "Megalotron"
YEES!!
Ever since seeing these scary guys in TRANSFORMERS The Movie, I've loved how fearsome they look in shark form...yet how dopey they are in robot mode. AND FIRST!
How the 🦆 did you comment 2 days ago when this came out 2 minutes ago
@@Camodino100 probably a patreon supporter
Oh yeah. They look scary in beast mode but silly in robot mode they look fat in robot mode.
Crazy how unchanged the Sharkticons are. Except for the one divergent path in Energon. It’s really bizarre that despite how minimal their role is they can be so consistent to G1.
This should've been a Shark Week tie-in.
I’ve always liked these guys since I first saw them in The Movie when I was 8 years old.
Sky-Byte Be like: ``There can Only be One Coolest shark In Town!``
Man Skybite is an awesome character and concept 🔥
In my head cannon, he’s some sort of evolved Sharkticon either from the distant future or the distant past, depending on if the quintessons made them or found them.
Sky-Byte: “That’s me.”
@@Trollo_Swaggins in at least one universe Sky-Byte is a Sharkticon commander.
Love the Sharkticon design. Even with my self imposed rule of making all my sharkies unique to limit the swarm size, I have way too many between the various molds, 3rd Parties, customized, and reprolabel versions
I love the sharticons but I prefer the transformers forged to fight game they have a more fleshed out look and seem smarter too
Gnaw: "I am the greatest of ALL Sharkticons!"
Sky Byte: "We will see about that!"
*Rippersnapper the terrorcon and Overbite the seacon enter the chat.*
GUYS! I KNOW HOW TO CALM THEM DOWN!
*_Ba-wheep-grahna-wheep-nini-bonn!_*
You know, I never realised that "Wheelie's friend Gnaw" was a Dreamwave thing! It always felt like it should've been in a cartoon episode.
Man, that would've been fun!
The Sharkticons' beast modes are arguably some of the coolest designs from Transformers. They have this fearsome monstrous look that would make you want to run away as fast as possible. The robot modes however could use a little work.
The robot modes are only there because they have to be able to transform to be considered transformers, then they have the idea of changing the robot mode to submarine mode.
This channel is The best thing to happen to Saturday morning in almost 30 years. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO. 👍
Too right. I tune in every Saturday with glee 😁
@@madskillz808 I start this show before I start making breakfast 😋
Not mentioned - Sharkticons were added to the Earth Wars mobile game, to BOTH factions, based on the Titans Return figure. This combined a few of the existing concepts. The Sharkticons are predators on Aquaritron (sp?), and after a mission there one (using Gnaw's name to distinguish him) accidentally gets spacebridged back. They're adopted by each faction for more foot soldiers, and taking care of them is foisted onto each side's representive aquatic soldier, Seaspray or Octopunch, instead of Wheelie.
As it should be, Gnaw's special attack is to summon more Sharkticons to swarm a target and destroy it.
Working 3rd shift, it just wouldn't feel right going to sleep on a Saturday morning without watching an episode of The Basics. Thank you.
Sharcticons: see skybite
Sharcticons: Look what they have to mimic the fraction of our power!
So it’s time to make Gnaw the new Shaggy meme? Say no more!
You know Chris, with episodes of this scope I think you’ll need a bigger boat. 😉
My favorite sharkticon design are the ones in the mobile game Forged to Fight. Sleek, modern, and with multiple color palettes, it sad to know they don’t have toys if those designs
Mine is the red one since he seems smarter or atleast smart enough to use a sword with skill
"Wheelie say find friends today!" "Me Grimlock say we on our way!"
You forgot about the Quintesson pit is judgement set that included a retool of the titans return sharkticon
Could you do a basics on the Allicons next ?
Its the same as the regular release of Gnaw. Just a different paint job to make him look different.
Megs is The next episode as the 150 special.
@@ItsAdamMC thats right the glorious leader if the decepticons will be next
A missed opportunity with the sharkticon would be make a megolodon sharkticon maybe even make it a titan like how some continuity’s made the Titans beings we populated planets and spread the race of cyberteonians witch explains that it’s citizens are sharkticons
A titan that could turn into a submarine or maybe a battleship would be insane
@@mechamonkeymancityboat7785 Yeah.
@@mechamonkeymancityboat7785 That could be Trypticon's marine equivalent, then they could make a third titan with flying monster mode.
Megotron
After divebomb, this was the best Christmas gift I ever got
Sometimes you just need a group of faceless mooks to fight. Plus the line feed them to the Sharkticons will always be cool.
Me: Man, that was a really good episo-
Chris: Next episode is Megatron.
Me: LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!
“Hello? Transformers the basics channel? Can you please do a basics video on the RX-O Unicorn Gundam please?”
Unless Gundam had since crossed over with any of Matel's other properties, I see it as less likely than him showcasinf ROM Space Knight.
@@MatthewCobalt no no, I was making reference to a thing that happened on the BBC yestarday regarding the olympics, where a presenter called RX-O Unicorn Gundam a transformer and everyone on Twitter proceeded to rip the shit out of her
You should do a Basics: Revisited video, talking about all the stuff that's happened since your initial videos
I love real-life sharks, so these guys are always a treat! Also, I cannot wait for Megatron!
I wonder when episode 150 comes.
That’s the basics on Megatron.
FEED THEM TO THE SHARKTICONS!! That line never gets old.
Can't wait for the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam basics video since they're a Transformer now 😆
That'll be a long one. The entire arc between him and Starscream in Tokyo 3 was nuts yo!
I used to read The Ultimate Guide from cover to cover and it gave me nightmares. Some of those old UK covers displayed within the book really effed me up.
One of my favorite parts of the movie from 86 was slag walking on the door that the Dinobots had knocked down and the sharkticon was underneath. Then slag looking at him and saying “excuse me”
Another Sharkticon toy using that name rather than Gnaw was released in the War for Cybertron: Earthrise toyline as part of a playset recreating the trial of Kranix in Transformers: The Movie.
I wish these guys were named Rippersnappers, and Rippersnapper was named Sharkticon
I was very happy with the size and price of the Titans Return version because they were right-sized for army-building. Admittedly, for me two counts as an army, but my collection is modest. I made some grey stickers to obscure their Decepticon logos, and now they happily guard my Quintesson judge.
Great episode! Always did like these little pests!
The hype is real for 150! Been waiting for this!
Sharkticon: now fear our battle song
Intends to play the jaws theme
Song: In the Navy yes you can sail the seven seas
Sharkticon: Gary have you been messing with my playlist again?!
And then grimlock shows up
Sleeping with Fish is one of the scariest fates anyone can have on Earth. Now imagine sleeping with Alien Robot Fish.
I just love how chris just repeats stuff over and over again word by word in all videos, like the floro dery toy came first thing or the beast flesh and transformer metal fused at the cellular level thing for beast machines characters
Can I have an episode/comic book where sea spray and broadside battle an entire army of sharkticons?
Can I just say I enjoy this Chanel a lot
They’re so cool yet very odd. Anyways keep up the great work Chris!
I always loved how the quintisons judged and kiled the guilty and inocent alike.
These guys are pretty jawsome
Haaaaaaa
I always did like that planet Hot Rod and Kup wound up on, that had the Sharkticons. All the different forms of predatory life made from metal, it was pretty awesome.
Transformers Prime missed out on so many opportunities. Let's all imagine our dear Starscream panicking in style.
I always found it funny that they don't even look like sharks. More like som deep-sea fish.
I'll say that I like when both Primus and Quintessons are involved in the creation of Transformers.
Wake up babe!! New The Basics episode!!
The RID sharkticons are probably the best because they're more Shark-like than any other sharkticons. All G1 inspired Sharkticons are more piranha like than shark.
Finally I will have my basics episode
can you do deathsaurus 's basics just like star saber , I like to know about him
Another great video as always, thank you Chris!👍
Awesome video Chris!
I still think he's the only reason I look forward to Saturday on UA-cam I love the videos keep it up
i've always believed the sharkticons were the inspiration for the "grendels" in The Legacy of Heorot.
I love how the martix of leadership went form the the torch of leader and full of wisdom of cybertron history to the transformers ultimate nullifier
I do love the Sharkticons, especially the Cyberverse ones, but I always felt kinda bad how vastly they overshadowed the Allicons
Ever since I was a kid in 1986, I wanted a Sharkticon toy. I almost got one at the Hasbro booth at Expo 86 in Vancouver, except my parents insisted I should spend my money on souvenirs instead of toys. I passed on every version since because I didn't want to break the seal on the very expensive hobby of being an adult collector. But then Core Class kinda' did that anyway due to being such a good size and price point. Earlier this year, someone on Facebook Marketplace was selling the Titans Return Gnaw for $5. My WIFE told me to finally buy the damn thing. My 35 year quest came to an end! Now that little pugbot sits right beside the TV where I can always admire him!
That sharkticon version 9f Megatron is FIRE. Never even knew that was a thing. Once again Chris you dug in deep!. Can't wait for 150
Great Stuff as always!
They look more like an anglerfish from Finding Nemo than an actual shark.
Great video with Jaws reference both in the video and comments below.
Awesome line form the movie, "Me Grimlock say EXECUTE THEM!!"
Great video as always bro, keep up the good work.
*Jaws comes towards the boat*
Someone: we’re going to need a bigger boat!
*Sharkticon approaches boat*
Someone: Forget this! I did not sign up for Giant robo sharks.
A awesome review. And I do hope that they continue to include the sharkticons.
Years ago I wrote a fan fiction where towards the end of the war one sharkticon was granted a spark and lead the pack. After the war the tripredicus council had tarantulas do painful experiments on them to "upgrade" to predacons like ravage. One became sky byte.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Episode 150 happening just as you pass 150k subs? That's some sort of serendipity or something.
Awesome vid
Another amazing video and pls do the basics on swindle and also about time you do Megatron
Kup & Hot Rod held a demolition derby while the were on trail in the movie
I really want to see your episode on Rattrap. I haven't read the comics, but I am aware he had a major role in many of them!
I was always confused on why they were called sharkticons when the first one that transformers looked more like a alligator t-rex but the others were the common angler fish/shark forms.
WOAH MEGATRON IS NEXT?! EXCITING!!!
Very cool Chris and crew thanks for this video, never got the original toy and or any of the current version of the shsrkicon gnew
3:53 We’re gonna need a bigger land-boat!
Does anyone remember the real adventures of Johnny quest? There was an episode called undersea urgency, where there were these underage creatures that looked like the Sharkticons!
Yep. I thought that as well.
This is great! The forged to fight sharkticons definitely had enough story for there own segment too.
I loved this toy as a kid. Maybe my favorite of them all
I love their design! Looking forward the the new toy! And the next Megatron ep! I hear he's popular...
Brilliant episode as always! Can't wait for Megatron!
Sharkticons in beast mode: weird, anglerfishlike, keep 'em away from me
Sharkticons in robot mode: the most huggable little bros ever
These little guys are so cool
You rock Chris!
A GLORIOUS DAY IS COMING....MEGATRON FINALLY will have his Basics.....YEESS!!
Now I know the name of that Transformers Energon figure I own. Thanks Chris!
Wow. I didn’t know almost everything in this episode. I love it when I learn new stuff in the world of transformers.
So now I know what time this comes out
Hmmm….in the show’s 3rd season, weren’t Allicon’s treated as just another Sharkticon?
They didn’t really have an official name until like 2004-2005.
Basics on the alicons and the universal greeting?
Funny how Xtransbots was asking fans yesterday about possibly making these guys on their Facebook page. Love Gnaw!
I have the 20th anniversary dvd of the Transformers movie, I recently found it while cleaning my room so I decided to watch it. I think that movie was my first exposure to the Transformers franchise
