The official YouTube page for Transformers has uploaded a very striking commercial featuring the Combiner Wars Protectobots toys for Hasbro Australia. This commercial features some amazing animation of the Autobot combiner Defensor and Decepticon Menasor, while showcasing the toys of the Protectobots.
Check out the full video after the jump, it’s very much worth the watch!

Good point, Hasbro should be buying time on YouTube.
Sometimes it seems like every YouTube ad for car insurance and Viagra?

What a friggin awesome commercial!…I don't think they used Prime's real voice though, but I can overlook that. Wonder if they'll do more?
One big problem, though: what kids still watch tv that has commercials?…aren't most watching streamable content? I guess you've got the big channels like Nick, Family Channel, Disney…I just wonder where kids would see these. Not like back in our day, with saturday morning cartoons where the commercials were as great as the shows, lol!

As much I as actually like TF: Prime as a series, I still want to see a series that looks like this with G1 character in their more modern incarnations. I would watch that religiously as long as the writing and action were good.

These commercials make me wonder what it would been like if they started them with Transformers Classics. With more advertisements the line wouldn't have failed so bad, but at least it eventually evolved into modern day Generations.

Love the commercial. They might, however, have to edit that video to take off Menasor and replace him with Bruticus when Bruticus comes out, since Prime himself said that Defensor was the only one capable of defeating Bruticus, or something along those lines in G1. That one line that he said makes Bruticus seem more like Defensor's archenemy, so it would be more logical for him to be in that commercial rather than Menasor, that is, when Bruticus comes out.

It's not a bad commercial, but it's missing a certain… je ne sais quoi. For one it tells us nothing of how illin' their weapons are, and Menasor is a 5 in 1 villain, but is he chillin'?

Wow, that was awesome!

Awesome commercial

I was hoping it would sound like Defensor stole someone's baby.

The only thing that hurts this commercial is the inclusion of dubstep.
The animation is gorgeous. If this is what we get for the Combiner Wars Machnima series, then I would be a happy man.

Just like the old days. ☺

I mean, the Autobots are the good guys.
Typically we don't encourage children to side with people who do evil things. I think now more than ever that's a pretty understandable mentality. (also Bruticus isn't out yet)
Except a million times more exciting to watch.

I kinda wish the attacking Decepticon was Galvatronus rather than Menasor again (Hot Spot and Cyclonus are in the same wave), but nevertheless, that commercial was pretty awesome like the first one!

there's alot of jiggly parts on that there defensor, should've put a bra on before filming

The combining part reminds me of Energon Optimus Prime combining with his 4 minions

Ok that was awesome
Seriously these should be on TV over here I too would also watch a show based on this

Did Zack Snyder film this? It's very dark and unsaturated in colour.
but as a commercial it's pretty good.

This commercial is horrid.
Oh, so everyone is to love the Autobots. Whatever happened to "pick a side"? I have sided with the Decepticons from the start. In my world, the 'Cons usually are always victorious. Also, is Optimus Prime's voice actor a stereotype of Garry Chalk?

That's what I kept hoping while I watched it. Also seeing stacks of Gods and monsters at Walmart is getting my hopes up for CW Popping up for impulse purchase but Warner Brothers made that happen.
