The official Hasbro China Transformers Weibo account have treated us with another amazing official stop-motion video, this time to celebrate the Year Of The Tiger.
This new video features Earthrise Optimus Prime and Megatron together with some Kingdom Maximals and Predacons in a fun clash. The characters then team up to perform a cover of the G1 opening theme with traditional Chinese instruments (as it was performed in another video before).
Watch the video here or a YouTube mirror after the jump, as well as some screencaps. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Prime and Megatron are watching G1 season 1, not the movie. Enjoying old times together while the others are playing outside.

So you're saying they should have used Dirge?

It’s weird there’s g1 theme playing on tv and into but in tv megatron and prime are show. Watching animated movie

Your definition of amazing is vastly different to mine.

I also miss that Platinum line, from there I only have Ultra Magnus (remould of Optimus Weaponize from TF Prime) and Optimus Primal for the Year of the Monkey.
Mutant Tigatron for the Year of the Tiger would have been a perfect fit from Platinum with Packrat (Rattrap repaint) in Pack-2 for the Year of the Rat that they owed us.
Same.
There will always be a minimal reference to G1, even though most of the characters are from another line. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Since he was a party pooper, they took him out of the backstage, and since he has claws instead of hands, he couldn't hold any instrument. lulz

It\'s funny that megatron instrument (suona) is usually used to play during Chinese funeral

Very cool.

That video is cool. China advertises Transformers better than the Western Countries do.

Tigatron should make a career as a flutist.

Kinda confused as to why Scorponok just vanishes.

You know, the funny thing about joining this community is that even though most probably don't celebrate Chinese New Year, this community (especially the 3rd party section) is always on top of when Chinese New Year is happening so they know about shipments and when factories start to go on break.
Happy Lunar New Years!

Curious about the fact that Optimus Primal and BW Meg's weren't there instead of their g1 counterparts. Is it that they aren't as popular as them in China?
