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

Synopsis

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).
