Honestly the best Zomboss design to ever exist, it’s so cool. Shame we’ll never get it in the international version.

Even if it took a thousand years to make one, I’m glad that Steam Ages got a boss to it, despite the fact that it’s ridiculously easy.

This is so massive for the other worlds that currently have no zomboss like heinan age and Renaissance

Reflourished devs are certainly going to have a treat of inspiration for their version of Steam Ages with this boss now finally added.

5 years of No Steam Ages Zomboss Hiatus is finally over!

THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY SICK! A train with such a good idea

After 5 years in development, hopefully it will be worth the wait. Props to the art team, as always.

Better translation of Dialogue in the beginning: Z: "Long time no see, beard (referring to Crazy Dave), scrap metal (referring to Penny), oh, and you! (referring to the player)" The rest two zomboss lines was translated correctly D: "He's the zombachamacallit... oh yeah zombmaster (a pun on zomboss having a PhD but calling it a master degree) P: "Oh dave, I have to remind you, he's called Doctor zomboss." P: "Maybe we should use a stopwatch to time how long he lasts." So the Steam Age Zomboss comes out. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but why did it take 5 years? The thing is, this boss was in development hell for the past years. At first they wanted to make a unique zomboss type, but popcap shanghai, who was still supervising them at the time, said no, and after a while, the boss just can't be finished on time, causing it to be missing. After that, Talkweb continued to make more designs including several cyclops one, but popcap(the international one) didn't allow the design to pass. This design for the zomboss was only approved recently. You can even see that the carts were remade from icecream truck (the one from kid's day) because it has the same text when you try to plant on it. Still, it was great that this finally came out, as a part of the newest 10th anniversary update. Let's wish that it will be better in the future (btw the Chinese players are rioting about the magic bean event, you might want to mention that if you ever want to make a video on the 10th anniversary update.

Gotta love how the coal doesn't glow white when hit like everything else in the game. It has a shit ton of health, no visual indicator of damage, and no degrades. Lovely.

Zomboss spent 5 years trying to figure out how to make a “proper” Steam Ages zombot 😅

Cool, another good video from Flag! And it is, because you told us everything we need to know about Zombot. Thanks for that and for everything you made.

"Are you gonna do something or what?" Words taken before disaster

I wonder if this boss will appear in the Reflourished mod. I hope it does since its design is epic and the little train robots are cool (even if they are a bit OP).

they definitely worked this coal train Zombot off of the Wild West Zombot with the wheels, but the amount of detail and differences is so much that the former part isnt even an issue.

Here are some suggestions of how the Zombot Terror Train (my fan name) could be balanced: 1. The coals could have less health. 2. The little train minions could be defeated upon contact with a plant and don't have an AOE explosion (kinda like Rodeo Legend Zombie). 3. He doesn't jump around as much so not much free damage can be done. 4. The little trains don't have a huge health pool like the coals and can be destroyed if the plants are strong enough (if it's possible). 5. Missiles remain the same so no changes. 6. Overpowered plants (levels included) should be locked out so cheesing the boss isn't possible or there won't be a challenge at all (could also apply to other boss battles as well). 7. This one may not be for balancing but could be a good mechanic to add. Zomboss blows the train whistle before charging straight forward but to balance it out, you will be given more plant food to counter it. If not, use an instant-use plant. That's all of my suggestions for how to balance this boss. If anyone has better suggestions, feel free to comment below.

I only just realized that the health bar is not properly aligned to what was displayed in the meter, making it a bit misleading that it still has a big chunk of his health remaining.

Love how this boss is mostly easy with all the jumping and plant selection but one of his attacks is "I delete your entire lawn"

Made my day better, great video

12:16 Iceberg Lettuce looks so adorable over there.

Very excited to see reflourished dev adding this boss to the mod !

Loved it when Zomboss said "Choo choo motherfucker" and sent 5 Mini-trains at the start of phase 3. Truly the greatest train moment ever.

5:49 perfectly "fair and balanced" attack

Finally the highly buggy world gets a boss fight

Maybe next year or two we will have Zomboss for Heian and Renaissance Age, considering it took them 5 years for Steam Ages... I don't know if Fairytale Forest is gonna get a Zomboss fight or not since it's a part of Secret Realms, but Memory Lane did have the Zomboss from PvZ 1 so we can hope.

Man that really finna give a hard time to players! Plus the boss don't give a damn bout the plants juts delete them entirely. Overall, its really cool-looking boss!

Wow. This boss looks sick! And a bit more interesting than other crab-like zombots

After 5 years in developement, hopefully it was worth the wait.

That’s really cool. About time.

10:02 Do you wanna know what the sad part about all this is? After five years of construction the Zombot ends up getting destroyed.Also love the music you put in this video.

It's funny that I think they said they redesigned the boss because it looked too similar to the original bosses (in the end it seems they left it that way)

Finally, after 5 years we get it!

That's so awesome that they finally finished steam ages :O Also would you be able to make a video of every level in all the chinese worlds, I've been trying to find some but my efforts have been fruitless.

14:08 Yeah those upcoming Zombots on worlds be like: Renaissance Age - 2028 Heian Age - 2033

gotta love the boss opening after the dialog 👍

interesting I have been waiting for this in ages

"Talkweb, it's been 5 years. You still owe me 16 dollars."

终于！ 终于等到了！ / Finally! After so long. ( Yes, I am a Chinese player )

Huge props for the Dirk Valentine music

The kirby power plant ost really fits this boss for some reason

Can't wait for Renaissance Age and Heian Age.

This game is truly an anomaly. I don't know why they didn't think having 3 attacks that do the same thing was not a good idea.

Good finally a new boss😢🎉😮. Good video flag!😊

13:54 Well, actually, there was at least one more reason for such a delay: they thought about boss's mechanic and art (it wasn't planned to be cyclop-like in the beginning).

That little "oh" is priceless

The day that no one ever expected to happen

Revolutionary stuff right here

"After 5 years on the east coast, it was time to go home" ...

Also I am soooo hyped for the renaissaince ages zombot! From teaser like 2years ago it looks like some da vinci's invention.

the balancing for this world sure was a trainwreck

Might I recommend DeepL translate for your text translations? Zomboss - It's been a long time, Beard, Broken Tin, oh, and you! Zomboss - It wasn't easy getting here, was it? Zomboss - In return for your efforts, I'd like to show you the power of industrial age technology! Crazy Dave - He's the zombie who has a master's degree in zombies. Master Zombie! Penny - Oh Dave, I have to make a necessary reminder that he is Dr. Zombie. Penny - Maybe we should take a watch and figure out how long he'll last this time.

I wish the boss had its own themed music.

About time they added a boss here. It’s been long overdue.

Love the bg music choices

I can hear the chugging from here

the “are you gonna do something or what” *oh* got me dead

0:54 funniest thing I’ve seen all year

IT’S ABOUT TIME

Can’t wait until the renaissance, Heian and Fairytale forest gets a boss 5 years later 🥲

such a blessing

"Are you gonna do anything or what" Words before disaster

After 5 yers in development, hopefully, it will be worth the wait!

At 10:43 these blueberries DO NOT give a shit!

Now I wonder if the reflourished team will use this design for their boss.

Pasparatcha: "Late but sure"

Wow they gave the plants roles already. By what I meant is that they have those bows and positive sign symbols at the top left of their seed packets.

Here's an idea, Steam Ages Zomboss would shoot less missiles, 2 on phase one, 3 on phase two, and 4 on phase three. Each missile would create a 3x3 area or cross of steam, (thus incentiving the use of the world's plants.) He shoots fewer coals with lower health, and when he spawns little trains they will act as normal (less damage though) until they touch a hot coal, causing them to explode in a 3x3 area or cross. If they don't touch coal, they will reach the end of the lawn and harmlessly crumble. There would also be manholes for zombie travel around the middle of the 2nd and 4th rows, with two or three tilles between the entrance and exit, breaking up the lawn and creating another area to defend. I think these would be interesting and unique additions to the fight that properly use the plants and gimmicks of the world.

This vid is really high quality👍

this zomboss design is actually really cool ngl

I thought Steam Ages was just released a year ago lol. Time flies so fast

We finally got it

Good video👍👍👍.

I just got a brilliant idea for a bossfight. All of the lawn is just minecarts. You have 1000 sun. No sun producers. The boss sends out attacks like the minecart missiles from wild west and the little trains(but they dont explode in the end). The goal is to beat the boss while preserving as many plants as possible. We could slap a "dont lose more than 5 plants" on top of it, but i dont think we need it with the amount of sun.

After five years, finally, the Thomas boss fight

you really needed to smile when they added that fight

Oh wow, nice!

"Are you gonna do something or what" "Oh." Comedic timing is just hilarious

You think this means we’ll be seeing other zomboss’ for worlds that don’t have one?? Either way THIS IS SO COOL AHAHHH

The final sentence penny said before the boss fight was "Maybe we should get a watch, to count how long he will last this time.

Btw, does Zombot mainly targets attackers in the Chinese version? Or the plants that targets are product of RNG?

3:26 Zomboss finally decided to use lawn mowers

I came here as soon as I could!

That should be on Reflourished

That sap-fling is do good it also slowed down the music

Now we can have it in Reflourished 😊

Hey Flag Zombie can you help me? I can’t log in to Chinese PvZ it requires some ID and some name which for some reason I can’t find a correct one can you tell me some stuff too?

Good job.

Let's pray that the zombies get updated too.

5:50 zomboss said "fuck your lawn"

last stand in Zombot fights were always my dream

This zombis looks cool! And in pvz2 also will add new zoos to

WE NEED THIS GAME TO BE WORLDWIDE

"Are you gonna do something or what" Zomboss: "OH YOU WANT ME TO DO SOMETHING HUH?! HERE, TAKE MINI-ME'S IN EVERY LANE CUZ FUCK YOU AND YOUR OPINIONS." Jokes aside, I really like how it looks. I was hoping there was the charge attack, where the zombot would transform back into the train and push through, but then I remembered the mini-me's were literally the same thing.

This is definitely the Zomboss of all time.

...the Mini-trains should just explode at the first plant they hit... The only reason that they don't turn the fight into an unfair curb-stomp in Zomboss' favor is because that's his strongest trick by five orders of magnitude. His other tricks are not nearly as game-ruining.

"See you in 5 years for the Renaissance Age Zombot!" Dead😭😭☠️

We gotta call cam back in here lmao

Yes, finally

What I find very unfair about this Zombot is when it throws 5 trains at you and destroys all your plants.

10:44 Electric Blueberry go BRR

You should do a series going over the main pvz plants and their levels in the china version
