That is 100% based on the Titans Return deluxe. Today's first episode makes it very clear. Maybe we won't see him go back to being a Prime until POTP, but the Hot Rod model featured in the new series is undoubtedly the TR deluxe.
In relation to my last two rants about the potential of this series, as I've been critical but excited and hopeful at the same time, dare I say that it seems they are in fact beginning to explain why the state of affairs is as it appears. Having Judd Nelson back, with a focus on Hot Rod/Rodimus alongside the upcoming release of Leader Class Rodimus Prime is pretty fucking cool.

He does a lot of voice over work, his voice acting is fantastic.
Oh. So Hasbro continues to dig in the mud for "internet celebrities" even though I refuse to acknowledge the existence of such absurdity.

He's the Youtuber behind Game Theorists and Movie Theorists.

What is a MatPat? Is he some sort of gremlin?

Dashie… yay.
… dammit.

That was Roosterteeth, who as it so happens are independent now from Machnima. Machinima had nothing to do with RvB, besides host it originally before RT had their own site.

Well. It's an honor to have Michael Dorn in Transformers too. Hope this opens up an opportunity to be in something, you know, good, in the franchise.
Hey, Judd, did you forget your cameo in Animated? (Well it was just a cameo…)
Jumacas
Because enough idiots eat it up and keep asking for more, I guess.

Quite happy to see a glimpse of Victorian , hope she gets some screen time. Hoping they kill off Mistress of the Flame and replace her with ELITA ONE in the next one or at the end of this one.

Why do they continue to use dipshits with names like matpat and whoever the asshole is that voices menasor? They used a couple top tier voices and the rest are a fucking joke. Menasor sounds like friggin teen titans go! Cyborg. I'm surprised they don't have that pewdiepie jackass as a voice. Why hasbro allows these idiots to continue churning out piles of shit with the transformers brand is beyond me.

Never watched Star Trek, but having done a quick Google search of him, I do recognise the character. I guess he is a big deal, even if I've not heard of him myself.

Michael Dorn is the guy who played Worf on Star Trek. Pretty huge. No wonder you dont recognize him as a regular human though, he needs to just have plastic surgery to make him Klingon permanently!
Didnt they do they very funny HALO red vs blue shorts? These look like fan fics.. Will Optimus Prime and Rodimus finally form a love bond and get hitched..?

That's not the TR Deluxe at all. The Titans Return deluxe would make sense since, you'know, it's Titans Return.
I feel like the Marvel G1 ocmics had all these characters crossover often.
Also, it's not the G1 cartoon, so…
Oh Christ alive I'm defending this show?
It's 2. It will always be 2. This show, no… Machinima itself is founded on 2. The entire site started as a host for people making shows using video games. And don't take that as backhanded, "Machnima" used to be a medium synonymous with some pretty quality stuff. But Machnima the company actively ecshews that. They're famous for fucking over content creators and those with talent and vision over whatever got most views. They are quantity over quality every time

Ha, nice. I started watching Thew's reviews way before he even set foot at his first convention. After he did, because he was getting popular and they offered him a Q&A session, the notoriety bug bit him and he's hyper-involved in the scene now. He's great.
Aside from his reviews, if you haven't seen "How to pronounce Transformer names correctly", do yourself a favor.

Aside from Judd Nelson, I have absolutely no idea who any of these people are. If they're going to get YouTubers, why not get ones that TF fans care about? Where is Hound voiced by Thew Adams? I'd watch that in a heartbeat.

Was enjoying the interview until MatPat. Fuck that douche.

Clearly, but in order for many of these characters to even exist (e.g. Rodimus Prime), we have to assume what was originally written as cause. Nothing is being explained here, at all. We need at least some essentials. All three of the G1 takes you mention, account for their characters' origins. And in some cases are telling the exact same story, or give explanations as to why things appear differently.
So, either 1) they want us to assume the events of the "Sunbow" continuity, as you call it, in which case nothing makes a damn bit of sense. Or 2) they don't intend to explain anything and it's just horrendous writing.

This series takes place in a G1 styled universe that's it's own and not connected to the Sunbow timeline same goes for IDW and the Marvel comics universes being their own thing. All three aren't are connected to the Sunbow show timeline if that's that you mean.

1. Please explain how the hell in a G1 fiction does Megatron exist alongside Rodimus Prime, plus Optimus Prime and, moreover, Starscream is also alive. None of it makes any sense.
2. Why does Hot Rod, who looks like Rodimus, have a face plate? And why the curvy Titans Return deluxe version and not the more G1 accurate POTP Hot Rod, since that is the planned Rodimus Prime for Prime Wars?
Are they just picking characters and stories out of a hat? Does IDW wreck G1 history like this, too? What the hell is going on?
I've been watching Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, and Armada lately. Thank god for non-CGI, exciting, well-written, and storyline-consistent Japanese Transformers animation.

It should be so exciting having Judd Nelson back. But I'm assuming this will be about on par with the awful combiner wars "shorts". Actually the animation we just saw in some cases maybe even looked worse (not sure).
