This article is about an advertisement for the 2010 Transformers convention. For the convention itself, see BotCon 2010.
"BotCon 2010!"
Airdate May 12, 2010 on YouTube
Directed by Randall Ng

It's a remake of the classic Generation 2 commercial!

Synopsis

Optimus Prime drives across a deserted landscape and transforms, then encounters Ramjet who does the same. They trade shots to little effect, and Ramjet pushes Prime into a rock, but then Prime grabs him by the head and shoves him to the ground. Victorious, he fires a few rounds into the air.

Notes

  • It's an advertisement for BotCon 2010, if you couldn't tell.
  • It's also a remake of the opening sequence of the Generation 2 cartoon. Said opening sequence was essentially identical to a commercial for the Generation 2 comic, with a spiel about the Cybernet Space Cube added to the end; this video emulates Victor Caroli's commercial narration, rather than the bombastic narrator of the cartoon.
  • When originally put up, the video concluded with "Redux" being mis-pronounced as "re-doo". A few days later, it was replaced with a corrected version (that's "re-ducks", if you didn't know).
  • It's 2010.... and yet the movements of the character models are a lot stiffer and the camera angles a lot less dramatic compared to the original one from 1993. Yikes.
