Antagony's got one of the coolest names in Transfomers. Ant + Agony + Antagonist = Antagony, that's weapons-grade wordplay.

Yup. Only problem is we rarely get to see them on any form of screen for TV media. Most of if not all of these "obscure characters" I actually would've loved to see episodes for in their respective Transformers continuities. At least bots like Apelinq give us some exceptions and EVENTUALLY get on screen appearances.

I love that Antagony is one of those characters that has a different personality in basically every universe she's been in, making it incredibly easy to come up with your own personality for her. Me personally I like to think of her as Infernos sister that was kidnapped along with Cataclysm and Shokaract by the Vok to become supersoldiers for their tests on transformers.

Fun fact about Animated Antagony and Inferno: they might’ve had a bigger role in the original draft of Animated Season 4. The plan was to have Blackarachnia (in Season 1 BW colors) and her Predacon legions act as the primary villains. However, after some Hasbro meddling, the Animated Predacon subplot was reduced to just one episode and a Mini-Con-empowered Megatron was made Season 4’s main villain… you know, before Season 4 was canned outright.

@ChrisMcFeely 8 ай бұрын

Fact is, there's every chance they might not have even BEEN IN season 4 if it had been made. They (and the BW-colours BA) were invented as repaints for BotCon years after the cancellation, not as part of the actual S4 plans. If they HAD been in it, they certainly wouldnt have looked like this, because they wouldn't have been Waspinator recolours!

@zusk8556 8 ай бұрын

He doesn't have enough meat to have his own "basics" video, but I always loved Antagony's rival Cataclysm, the black and purple redeco of Transmetal Cheetor. I feel like he's a woefully underutilized Unicron herald, and I like the notion of the heralds competing for Unicron's favor, rather than the autonomous zombie drones they're usually portrayed as.

Anyways thank you so much for this great video and I hope that everyone in this community has a great day, as well as being safe and healthy. Until next time, when All Are One. Peace Out and Maximize.

Not gonna lie, but the first moment I saw the name of this character in a notification, it made me cringe a little over how awful it sounds. Antagony - Antagonist It's not that surprising to point out. The design and story, however, sound interesting, but I feel she deserved a less cringey name, though I never grew up with the beast wars era, so I probably wouldn't know better. Her story, at least, does have an interesting premise. First time I've even heard of this character, too, so thank you for introducing her, Chris. Your videos are both informative and really engaging to listen to.

Anyone remember Hardtop? According to TFWiki, he started off as a sniper in the Transformers: Cybertron toyline (apparently being Swindle's brother), then appeared in a Bayverse comic (who's toy I have), then appeared in Earthspark out of nowhere, as Swindle's brother again, and as the source of Mandroid's first cybernetic alteration. Sounds like a pick for next Obscure Characters Month to me. Funnily enough, my Hardtop toy's right arm broke off a while back. It's like it was foretelling something.

I'm so greateful for comic books and their additions to Transformers continuities. As much as I do enjoy any Megatrons as "mainstay" villain characters, comic books help flesh out their worlds and make them feel more alive. Especially when we get to hear about other characters and their power plays to conquer Cybertron on their own like Shokaract and Antogony. It helps remind us there are in fact more than one evil being out in the universe with plots and agendas of their own. The only downside to that is deep lore comic book stuff like that is usually exclusive to comic books and we rarely get to see any of it on screen, TV or movies. Unfortunately, as much as I do appreciate the lore and story we get from them, I just don't have the time of day to collect and read comic books.

Never underestimate the ant! I heard it said that if ants were given the ability to generate nuclear weapons, they'd end the world in a week, but hearing the story of Antagony for myself, it might just turn into a world of pain. I wouldn't be surprised if someone reinvents her with a more seductive side, for I've heard it said that pleasure and pain go hand in hand. One thing's for sure though, if you don't surrender to Antagony, this ant is gonna make you say "uncle".
