French Transformers commercials. They come up with their hit theme tune at 4 minutes into the video and stick with it. Action Master joy begins around the 6-minute mark. I was unaware that France got the Constructicons, the Predacons and Sky Lynx. Martin |

And yet it does sound to me like the lyrics are specific to each advert. They're recycling the tune but writing new verses for each sub-group. I would like to see them transcribed and translated!

TF advert (allegedly) broadcast during a TV AM commercial break on 22nd September 1984. This is the one I remember!!! With Jazz doing that 'standing up' type Transformation! And the job for Mini Autobots! So pleased that someone has found this! |

Maybe there is a problem seeing it on mobile. I will try on desktop tomorrow afternoon. Such excitement. What a life.

Interesting that they are not just robots in disguise but warrior robots in disguise.

Yep. I have placemats with the term Warrior Robots on too.
Robots in disguise? Pah! Get outta here! Warrior Robots? Now we're talking!

I do like how much concentration is on the face of the child as he transforms them. Serious business!

It was because all of the robots in disguise that didn't have the function of warrior called out for equality.

I was surprised to see Jazz in charge during this skirmish. He was a trusted lieutenant in Arrival from Cybertron, but seemed to fall out of favour during the Earth campaign (perhaps due to his martini obsession).
The ADC channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/TVSproductions82/videos) is well-worth a watch if you enjoy commercial breaks from the 80s and 90s.

I wonder why the new tagline 'They've got the power to Suprise!' was used in the adverts - and not on the toys packaging.
Or looking at it the other way, why wasn't any desperate artist singing 'More...Much more etc...' for some money?

I don't recognise the CGI robot at 2:15. Who is it intended to be?
The Body Rap thing at the end of the video has to be the most 80s product ever!

I like that they've used the Powermaster animation for the Triggerbot/cons. No one will notice!
