- Finally! This week, we're taking a look at the history of the last of the classic G1 Autobot combiner teams - fearless, futuristic warriors unappreciated in their own time - the bots whose combined form was once voiced by *MatPat* of all people! - those often-overlooked high-tech heroes, the TECHNOBOTS!

*Me Grimlock say you smart now!*
datum received, conclusion must destroy Abominus at once
Is there nothing Grimlock can't do?
Right!😅😂😂
I was personally really upset when the Prime Wars Trilogy ended with Computron announcing his retirement, and then going to meet Scott Cawthon
"DATUM: GREGORY IS A ROBOT"
"Yo, your theories are kinda sh*t, Bruh. No Cap."
*Closes the door slowly on his face*
I disapprove of this on two levels (matpat related, also wary of any jokes mentioning cawthon that aren't specifically at his expense) but still gotta give you props 😂
Then he forgot to do a Game Theory about Insomniac Spider-Man and Film Theory videos about Ben 10.
so sad
Here it comes!
"Taken offline by a cosmicly powered starscream"
Everyone: YAAAAAY
If this was a wrestling show, those lines would get a "Road Warrior Pop" from the comments section. 😄
"Say the line McFeely"!
3:40
We all said unenthused.
He said the thing, HE SAID THE THING!!!
"I am Computron. My computation capacity is nearly infinite, but I lack the intelligence to feed my capacity....."
"yet", Bert Kramer's voice was simply incredible.
One of the favorite Combiner teams.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Grimlock built them while entirely in dinosaur mode?
Makes me wonder... was the eventual implementation of Volcanicus somehow rooted in residual knowledge (or some such) of how Computron combined
But those tiny arms...how???
@@bradleyadams5252 same way Megs or shockwave could fire themselves as guns 😂
Grimlock is one of few transformers who genuinely has reached Deadpool levels of memelorddom/rule of cool. Dude don't need the gun show to speedrun creating five (six, lol) guys... after all he's more of a laser sword guy-osaur
During the 3rd season the Dinobots never appeared in robot form, at least as long as I can remember.
My headcanon has always been that Grimlock found abandoned machinery in the underground and reconfigured it, rather than build them entirely from the ground up, and with the super intelligence was able to give them actual sentience. Like a combination of how the Aerialbots and the Dinobots were made.
Computron says:"Conclusion..: Technobots deserves appear in the next movies."
"But that is just a theory... A film theory."
It should be...
"Conclusion: Technobots should appear as part of new toyline next year."
From the words of a legend.... Computron is not just a Transformer, he's a theory... A Film Theory!
This one's for you Matt!
Is it because MatPat voiced Computron in The Prime Wars Trilogy(specifically, Titans Return and Power of The Primes)? But hey, that’s just a theory. A VA Theory!~
I woulda have gone with A Toy Theory
No.
Yuri Loventhall should voice him in a movie.
@@CJPrime931 So he's a closeted homosexual?
1:36 It's like these two gestalts once said:
Abominus: Computron think too much.
Menasor: What a nerd.
MatPat voicing Computron is still wild to me😊
Ikr
Wait, did he have to talk at half speed?
But hey, that’s just a theory
@@CrystalX329A GAME THEORY
I know. Thats crazy😂
These Bots deserve so much more than what they got in recent years.
I need a decent third party figure
Agreed 👍
A MMC combiner version of these guys would be fantastic
Always loved the Technobots! They always needed more love in media as a group!
Agreed
Dare we call them the best of the Auto-Combiners?
Defensor is kinda boring,
Aerialbots are honestly better as a Team of High-Fliers, (Like Top-Gun),
Dinobots as a Combiner feels tacky,
And Torchbearers work better as a cool Commando Team. (Like the Autobot version of the Combaticons)
But Technobots/Computron?
Feel just right.
My eyes roll every time I hear "taken offline by a cosmically power starscream"
Its the go too back then 😂
Only in Titans Return. He was voiced by Ricky Hayberg in Combiner Wars.
I prefer to take a drink from my favorite beverage when that pops up. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly / Transformers that stand up to ann Under base powered Starscream have to die.
It was The Thing back in the 80s comic.
I'm okay when it is relevant content in a Basics episode, but it bugs me when the phrase is robotically repeated in comments sections, whether relevant or not.
Finally, we're getting a long overdue basics video on the Technobots!
Computron is my favourite autobot combiner
7:35 that was MatPat ? WHAT!!?
But hey, that’s just a theory
I know. Crazy😂😂😂
One of my favourite teams!
I really like the Technobots and Computron. I really hope we get to see them in either a new movie or TV show with a big enough role to help out but not get killed off immediately. Chris, I love your videos. You do such a great job with these. I hope you are doing well and I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
500 views in 5 minutes?
bro has risen
Never watched Combiner Wars but I'm so happy to have learnt that MatPat voiced Computron. It's just wild seeing one of my favourite UA-camrs having a part in TransFormers history. Funny how he's been in 2 shows/movies featuring robots/animatronics. Could that be a coincidence or is there some significance to it? It's all just a theory...
Thank You. I've always wanted to hear about the Technobots. I do like the IDW Comics design of the Technobots, but I love the G1 Cartoon too.
I was lucky enough to find and get the hasbro box set of combiner wars computron new and sealed yesterday!
6:55 That's just Autobot Cosmos painted yellow!!!
Correct.
CW Superion could use Powerglide as a gun 😂
finally the technobots are here, thank you chris
Still have my original Computron from the 80's. One of the sturdiest of the g1 combiners. Also gotta say the takara unite warriors version is one of my favorite modern combiners too. Excellent video. 😊
yaaaaaa my favourite combiner team
I know I liked ALL the combiner teams, but when the Terrorcons and Technobots showed up in season 3 I got smitten on those teams specifically. (Given timing of toy cancellations, the fact that I was actually able to COLLECT all of Abominus and Computron may have helped them really BE favorites, too.) But man, I loved Strafe and Afterburner.
The Autobot combiners always seemed to have unified color schemes while the Cons scramble combiners seemed to have random colors most of the time, the Seacons being an exception. Devastator and Predaking got unified colors but were anything but standard scramble types.
The Protectobots and Technobots were my first Autobot combiners as a kid, but because of how young I was when I got Defensor, the memories are fondest with Computron, especially since he survived my toddler years better. Thank you for giving my favorite combiner team some much needed love!
Ooh!
Would you consider doing a rundown of cybertronian technology that human weild.
From Daniel's exo-suit, to Sam's grappling hook.
The Fact that most combiners were earth based.This is the Main reason, Why I like that they were Futuristic vehicles especially the look of the G1 toy of Afterburner but then I had most of them.
I had always hoped that Cerebros would link up w/ Computron and we'd get some stuff w/ Scattershot and the boys traveling around using Fort Max as a base, maybe with Brainstorm and Hardhead and them alongside... kind of like a Wreckers team but more of an exploration/science mission
And his look has been the basic (yes pun intended) for A lot of Cybertron looking bikes mode. Just look at some of the female Autobots in newer shows.
The Technobots being sci-fi vehicles and the Terrorcons being horrific monsters make the two groups stand out amongst the combiner teams. They only get overshadowed because they came out so late in the series.
@@thepolarphantasm2319 the sounds like it be a good series.
@@georgejcox9241 lol love the pun, Most definitely its actually cool some Season 3 characters had a more Cybertronian look, would of been cool too have seen an Optimus G1 Cybertronian vehicle mode.
The Technobots were my favorite Autobot combiner team, and the only combiner team I had all the toys for besides the Constructicons.
I loved the Predaking as the best as a combiner team... I was missing one of the legs though LOL ;p
They look great in G1
Ah Finally my favorite combiner ! Check-mate Decepticons. I really like Scattershots design.
In shattered glass its the reverse where computron gives his intellegence to grimlock but the process was not perfected as it left the technobots addicted to combine into Computron. This made the evil grimlock an evil genius as opposed to the normalverse grimlocks dim-witted personallity.
One of my favorite teams
I have to say computron is an awesome robot name…. Also in my head technically their part of the dinobots
Computron, the combiner who spends his time thinking to much on computing the best possibilities when fighting? What was his creator thinking, oh wait...he was probably thinking: "I Grimlock cannot wait to say ME Grimlock" again.
"Well, about damn time." - Nicholas J. Fury.
My favorite combiner. Intellect always wins. 😅
TODAYS MY BIRTHDAY AND TECHNOBOTS ARE MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS THIS IS CRAZY THANKS CHRIS
7:30 The former host of Game Theory??? Did not see that coming!!!
I more suprise that FNAF Help Wanted 2 didnt even mention Computron when their colectble is a Transformers toys that also a combiner....
But hey, that’s just a theory
@@CrystalX329 A game theory!!!
Another amazing video
Hearing the words MatPat in a Transformer the Basics video is super weird, but also just really neat.
But hey, that’s just a theory
Cant wait for a Backstreet episode in 10 years
I love the Tech no bots,all the characters are my absolute favourite's, I look forward to seeing more of them in the future, thanks for the awesome episode Chris ❤👍👏
Let’s goooo. My favorite combiner is getting love!!
I've been waiting for u to do this for a long time. The technobots are the most underrated autobot combiner team, in my opinion. Nice work.
I seriously think they listen to techno songs in their spare time.
That'd be a cool character trait
Orbital, Underworld, Crystal Method... yeah, for sure. You know Afterburner and Lightspeed been hittin' the club with Blurr fr
True that. @@thepolarphantasm2319
I had this idea that they're Cybertron's S.T.E.A.M. scholars.
(Skilled in science, technology, engineering, arts & mathematics)
Taking cues from the G1 personas & SG Abominus.
Grimlock's Brain was always one of my favorite episodes, & as far as characters go, Computron always felt like the most unique combiner. Super glad to see this episode!
I've been waiting for these guys. Nice video, Sir.
Datum received: Computron was created by Grimlock. Grimlock was created by Wheeljack and Ratchet. Conclusion: Computron is Wheeljack and Ratchet's grandson.
My favorite Autobot combiner team! I always liked the the unstated sci-fi vs fantasy aspect of their rivalry with the terrorcons. Hoping they get the love they deserve in upcoming Transformers media.
The Technobots are my Favourite of the Autobot Combiner Teams and my Favourite Combiner Teams over all only a close 2nd to Their Rivals The Terrorcons.
As for my Favourite member of the Team well that’s a Hard one, I think it’s a tie between Strafe and the team’s Leader Scattershot.
Also I really Like Matpat’s voice for Computron it fits the character a lot (in my opinion).
And yes The Technobots deserve more appearances in the future and hopefully they will Apear in the new comic series and not dead the very moment they show and here is some deta from Computron.
Computron: “The Probability of The Technobots and Computron showing up more in the Future is 99.9%”
Yes! Finally my favorite combiner! Great video again Chris! See you in August!
My favorite Technobot is Afterburner, I love that his alt-mode isn’t similar to the light cycle from Tron and that he was voiced by Jim Cummings in all his appearances in the G1 cartoon.
It's amazing how overlooked they've been.
The Technobots were the only complete combiner team I had when I was a kid. I was a huge fan. Thanks for covering them. 🙂
Been waiting for this one! My brother sister and I had all these bots except scatter shot.great memories playing with them
Literally the very first Transformers toys gifted to me as a kid!!! I even built a shadowbox for my childhood set and commissioned custom Technobot art for my collection room!! Love them!!
OMG FINALLY!! Thank you for creating a video of technobots. I've been waiting to see this.
Hi Chris, even though you're Asleep Great video about Transformers: The Basics on the Technobots, keep them coming, Also your latest video was outstanding, Also One of the best and most favorite Combiner teams. Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Grimlock built them while entirely in dinosaur mode? Also my favorite Quote is:Counptron: "I am Computron. My computation capacity is nearly infinite, but I lack the intelligence to feed my capacity" Also my other favorite quote is: Me Grimlock. say you smart now! Also my other favorite quote is from Computron is: Dataem received, Conclusion must destroy Abominus at once" Also Computron says: Conclusion" Technobots deserves appearance in the next movies". Also The Technobots & Computron are both my best and favorite Autobot Subgroups/Combiner Teams and Favorite Gestalt of all time, Also finally we're getting a long overdue Basics video on the Technobots! Also The Technobots being sci-fi vehicles and the Terrorcons being horrific monsters make the two groups stand out amongst the combined teams. Also I too would've loved it as a new series after Rebirth, like Cybertron is reborn and they basically start exploring space hardcore find a lot of messed up stuff, inculding worlds the quintessions or unicorn or the cybertronian great war screwed up and it pushes them to try and help where they could that much more. Oh and I would have had cameos by Sky Lynx and pals some, but like the "main line" story stuff with Rodimus and them would be going on elsewhere mostly. Prob would have put Preceptor in charge as the " Captain" by the point he'd both been science officer for Optimus on earth but also as a sniper in the war so he's the most experienced with both Cosmic rust style space horror and monster of the week Decepticons fights, Also I for one agree with Swift paw Wolf Fox I totally why I not only like but also love the war of Brain vs Brawn ha ha, Also I know I too not only like but also Loved ALL the combiner teams, but when The Technobots and the Terrorcons showed up in season 3 of the Transformers Generation One Cartoon I not only liked but also loved them already, Also Computron is my favorite Autobot Combiner, Also The Technobots were my favorite Autobot Combiner team and the only combined team I've planned to buy later this year, Also One of my favorite teams! Also My favorite Combiner. Intellect always wins.😅 Also thank you for sharing Chris keep up the good work stay safe out there have a goodnight have a Happy Memorial Day and until next time TILL ALL ARE ONE.🙂💪🟢🏋️💯🇺🇲🌆😃✌️
Grimlock's new brain is the episode I watch the most. The Technobots are beyond awesomess and Computron was one of the most beautiful combiner ever made.
The Technobots are my fav Autobot combiner team ever I really wish they got more love
One of my favorite combiner teams! Awesome to see them getting some attention!
Afterburner was a cherished childhood toy. I remember driving him across the tops of the washer and dryer while waiting for Mom to finish doing laundry.
I have a special place in my heart for the Technobots and Computron. This was the only complete combiner team I owned as a kid in the 80's.
One of my most favorite combiners! Thanks for making this video!
Awesome! Now all the Combiners have Basics episodes. But perhaps the Combaticons episode could use an update.
computron is my favorite combiner along with devastator. I think this team of combiners is the most under appreciated. the first episode where they appear is great!
Cybertron was what hooked me on Transformers as a kid, so I'm absolutely one of the people who knows that Scattershot more than any of the G1 Technobots.
One of my favorite combiners ever. Computron, Defensor, and Menasor are just so cool. And Lightspeed is my favorite member of the team. His altmode is just too sleek.
What good timing. I just got Lightspeed's toy and was hoping you would cover the Technobots.
Lightspeed is my fave character of the bunch.
Always loved the Technobot vechicle designs, especially Afterburner's unique motorcycle mode. Only had Scattershot as a kid, but finally got a whole Computron via Unite Warriors
One of my favorite Combiner Teams and IIRC the first one I purchased completely on my own as a kid. :) Great video!
OOOOHHH, so that's why MatPat left UA-cam. Not to have more personal time, but to hide from a cosmically powered Starscream! (This is just a joke, I know the real reason why he left.)
I just love combiners. So many cool opportunities for stories and characters not just from the giant robot they form but from the individual bots too. I really love it when members stand out so much they become legacy characters in their own rights like Swindle from the Combaticons.
Computron specializing in intelligence especially is an awesome idea.
Wooooh finally; I've been waiting for this episode for a while!!
so dope
Love these guys! And Stormbringer design were awesome.
I felt this one was short and sweet. Computron is one of my favorite combiners of G1
Grandpa Wheeljack would be proud.
Great Video, Chris! Big fan of the Technobots. and learned something new in the video!
I feel like there should be a fully dedicated episode for Scattershot. Cybertron Defense Scattershot was one of my favorite toys when I was little.
I made a rewatch of all "Basics".
Took a shot of vodka, everytime Chris said "one of many characters taken offline by cosmically powered Starscream". Passed out after just a few videos.
One can't simply have a Basics episode wothout someone taken offline by cosmically powered Starscream.
Great Stuff, as always!
I remember being reminded of Grimlock's New Brain when we had to read Flowers for Algernon in high school. Algernon's ending was a bit more of a downer, though.
I remember a friend of my brother was very amused that a character was named "Afterburner", as previous seasons had characters say things like "I'm gonna kick your afterburner."
The tecnobots are one of my favorite combiners especially with grimlock giving them life thanks
Yes!!!! The Technobots!!!! Great video. Thank you for uploading it.
My favorite combiner finally got an episode.
The only combiner set I ever owned as a kid; it is nice to see they got more screen time than I knew. Maybe I'll look into that combiner wars version and see if it's worth picking up for nostalgia's sake.
Computron has always been a small favorite of mine only cause of Mitchsantona’s video. That montage music is so good
As a kid this was my team, even though I never got all of them. Loved the color scheme. Strafe and Scattershot were my favorites!
It was the 2021 annual that convinced me to get the Takara version of the Technobots, and thanks to Power of the Primes Scattershot can combine with he other Dinobots
My favorite phrase from Computron is:
"but hey, that's just a theory..."
Probably won't be for another few years but one episode on the dinobots volcanus combiner is gonna be sweet
MY FAVORITE COMBINER
“We combining into an ai with this one” 🗣️🔥🔥
My favourite combiner team! I remember saving up my money just to get the combiner box set pack from Amazon in the UK.
Hello there Chris McFeely and fellow Transformers fans. I do apologize for the tardiness of this comment, but when this video was posted, I was on my way to work and didn't have time to check the recent postings. Anyways, I just wanted to say that this new video dealing with the Techobots was really well done and very entertaining. I totally enjoyed it and remember watching the episode where these bots made their first appearance and I have to admit that I have read some of the IDW comics that they appeared in and really enjoyed them. So I have to admit that this combiner team is one of my favorite teams. In addition to that, I just wanted to say if any new piece of Transformers media, like the animated series Earth Spark needs uses they bots , then I say Yes Please!
Anyways, thank you so much for this great new video and thrilling information. I hope that everyone has a terrific day and a fantastic weekend. Until All Are One. Peace Out and Maximize.
I'm fond of them mainly because I love Afterburner so much. What a great vehicle mode and cool weapon accessories. I still have my original G1 Afterburner and Nosecone, and I also bought knock-offs of the Technobot and Terrorcon box sets so I could finally make Computron and Abominus.
