Anyone else think their beast altmodes were chosen as an homage to Godzilla and King Kong? If that's common knowledge, I'm only just now realizing it. 😅

"Snapdragon mauled Daniel Witwicky" Ah, i see why these guys are fan-favourites

Mentioning that they don't really bathe makes me want a Basics on Transformers Hygiene/Self Care

They were supposed to be Godzilla and King Kong. Hence: HORROR cons. As Godzilla and Kong were both originally marketed as horror films.

At this point they're kinda decepticon shock troops that you just see in one scene and never see again. Which sucks because I like Apeface's design, wish he got more time as a character.

I like that little Headmasters scene where Galvatron arm-hugs the Horrorcons like they're best buddies.

"Horrorcons" what a great name

Japanese headmaster concept makes so much more sense. The heads having the conscience instead of two aliens sitting on top of each other

The Legacy of Monke and Lizard lives on.

I actually thought that Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, and Skullcrusher were a part of the Horrocons. Great video, and perfect for Halloween.

I remember as a kid being genuinely surprised and confused by the idea that apeface had a robot form. Like to me he was an ape that could turn into a plane

Surprised there's not a version where they combine with each other yet.

I didn't have many transformers as a kid, but I did get Apeface for Christmas one year. It easily became my favorite and I was very happy a couple years ago to buy the updated version.

WFC Snapdragon is one of my favorite transformer toys, I love it to bits and Im glad you made a video about the horrorcons

I wonder if there were ever any plans for more Horrorcons that never made it into production.

Love the idea of Triple Changers with robot, vehicle and beast mode. For next year's Halloween the video could be about the Monsterbots, their Autobot counterparts.

While it was odd that TR didn't release Snapdragon, it's fitting that him and Apeface get full figure release in WFC even if there was bith of year gap between them. It would be interesting match if someone would force Apeface and Snapdragon fight each other in GvK style fight.

And with the kingdom toyline their releasing a mew night prowler based off cheetor so it's good to see that unreleased figure getting a little love nowadays

Ooh, i had these two when i was a kid as toy, didn't know their backstory until today. Thanks lots for the video and bringing back nostalgic memories =)!

I’d love to see the horrorcons fight the monsterbots

You didn't mention that they are both particularly powerful, but limited by their weak personalities.

So, basically, they're robot/jet versions of King Kong and Godzilla?

I still have my original G1 Apeface. He was one of my favorite toys as a kid. Great video, cheers!!

Nice Godzilla VS Kong reference at the end card! It was HORRIFYINGLY accurate and well placed!

Nice video, I would love an episode on another obscure G1 character, Devcon

Didn't know Snapdragon had been intended as a merc in Earthrise. Which is funny as I had him displayed as one under the command of Double Dealer.

Amazing episode as usual! Also, Happy Halloween in advance everyone!

I recently found both of them at Ollie's for half price. They look good together on the shelf.

Although figures like Snap Dragon, Crossfire and Scorpinoc weren't the most advanced toys to have transforming capabilities they were some of the first toys I had to have good articulation. Basically meaning that their arms and legs weren't stuck to their bodies. It was a step forward in possibility for sure.

both are my favorite. The difference is, for me, at least, was my brother had snapdragon and I had apeface.

I do wish we got more horrorcons. Maybe a bat and a wolf.

It would make sense if Shackwave scanned Optimus Primal and Grimlock's beast modes, an then created the Horrorcons to counter them.

Love the season 3 weirdo characters, would be great to see them in a future cartoon one day

This really makes me wonder how I'm gonna incorporate these guys into my own Transformers stories.

Perfect Halloween subject!

Definitely 2 of my favorite characters from the Headmasters series. The designs and color schemes were perfect decepticons imo.

Snapdragon was one of my favorite toys growing up because my grandfather gave him to me. I still have all the pieces and immediately preordered his Earthrise version as soon as it was available.

The Terrorcons, Monterbots, and Terrorcons the Halloween Trilogy of Transformers Happy Halloween

Thanks for the video it makes my G1 horrorcons more awesome thanks again.

I really do appreciate the fact you put in the panel of Apeface eating a banana. I find the fact that that isn't synonymous with Apeface to be a crime.

I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you!

I love this dark duo and spent decades wanting them. Now having the g1 and siege versions (also third party ones) I feel quite happy.

Congratulations on 160K 🥳🥳🥳

Great video. Love learning about characters I don’t know about.

This has to be the most horrific episode of "The Basics."

Been waiting a LONG time on this, apeface is my MAN and ive been bugging the comment sections on these videos for a LONG time

Christmas 1987 I got Snapdragon from my Uncle, always was one of my fav decepticons

"Lizard vs Monkey" Me: Godzilla vs Kong vibes.

Apeface & Snapdragon are two of my favorite Decepticon Headmaster Horrorcons in the Original transformers cartoon.also all I can say is Chris. Thank you for posting this video about the Decepticon Headmaster Horrorcons 👌 up the 👍 work and stay safe and stay healthy. Until next time till all are one.☺☺☺☺☺☺☺👏☺😀😊😉

2 of my fav Cons in general :) well done Chris

Ah yes, Apeface. Slayride faces his next challenger...

Great vid man, it was nice to hear these guys personalities Can you do basics on trailbreaker

The idea behind them reminds me of a joke line about The Shredder from a review of the original tmnt cartoon, when talking about the idea of creating Bebop and Rocksteady- "I think I'll do it just twice, and then never again. OH, THE POSSIBILITIES!"

Love the color scheme! Great Stuff!

Fitting in a way. Using today to talk about two Metal Faced villains. If you get it, you get it

Props to Apeface for trying to take on Megatron USING TELEKINESIS.

They definitely deserve much more attention as they are very overlooked in Transformers media. Would've been interesting to see a Grimlock vs Snapdragon battle tho

I like to think of Apeface and Snapdragon as the Kong and Godzilla of the Transformers.

I have always loved these guy's design.

People who dont care about their hygiene : Am I a -monster- horrorcon?

Huh never heard of these guys but they sound awesome! I wonder if rampage from beastwars would count as a horrorcon

I do wish Snapdragon and Apeface would make more appearances in TF shows and comics. The idea of lazy and disgusting Decepticon slobs is pretty humorous, like the original versions of the TF Animated Constructicons.

Love your channel man keep up the good work

Great idea! Nice work!

Great video as always

I had Apeface although I never really remembered the name even though he appears in the final episodes of the cartoon along with Snapdragon whose name I do remember from that despite not having that toy. One of my favourites old Apeface though. Didn't have too many Headmasters but he was one of them. Good times. Cool choice for the season.

I’m 16 minutes late but this is the earliest I’ve been

Happy Halloween to you chris

I would love to see these guys toys repainted to be newer versions of BW Optimus Primal and Megatron, I think that would be so cool

Not only does one remind you of King Kong and the other of Godzilla, but one also looks more like Optimus Prime and the other like Megatron, respectively, and by extension, Primal and BW Megatron.

These were the biggest and best transformers my brother and I had as kids. We got them for Christmas and I got Apeface, since then he has been the core of my Transformers focus. As I kept rediscovering the show I would update my head stories. Now I have this elaborate idea that they were actually Micromasters who gave up their own vehicle forms to become Headmaster. They use trnastectors and the Horrorcons were actually made to be a countermeasure to the Dinobots. But later they use the recovered Nemesis to fly the galaxy and get energon from the other plants we saw in season 2. They also use that extended time away to build their own base in secret using schematic they stole from Grapple and Hoist. Because of my brother and the stories we made together I always see these two as something of brothers, rare decepticons that won't betray each other. We also imagined that each was also an honorary member of a combiner team. Apeface with the Predacons and Snapdragon with the Terrorcons. More just so we could pretend to be Predaking and Abominus taking orders from our guys.

The Horrorcons are top tier Decepticon goons.

I’ve been ill in bed the last few days and your channel it only got me through BUT has renewed my interest in Transformers. In fact I think you’ve made me more of a fan than ever

Funny thing is that this was 3 hours ago and I was looking for the basics on horrorcons a few days ago😳😂

I have watched this episode twice this month and wish there was more on them because ever since the rebirth snapdragon has been my nr 1 favoriete transformers character of all time

as you see at 3:08 the reason Snapdragon nearly killed Daniel Witwicky is because Daniel Witwicky prevented Snapdragon from biting off Arcee's hands by as seen at 3:12 by jumping on Snapdragon's head.

The fact i come across this on a...somewhat friday night 13 days away is spooky

I like the name like the Terrorcons and monsterbots the name is horror just amazing and also where you say horrorcons in start rain

Honestly. I'm surprised Apeface hasn't gotten more time in the sun than Snapdragon. Given his gorilla beast mode helped him stand out more. While Snapdragon's Godzilla looking mode to me would've seemingly left him in the ever-titanic shadow of fellow Decepticon Trypticon.

Happy Halloween

Another great episode!

These two bots were great had both as a kid and only found apeface in the seige lineup

Fantastic video!!!👍😃🎃

Since this video came out, I've seen The Headmasters. And it's kinda surprising just how little they did in the anime. They spent most of their time just being background crowd fillers or tackling the Monsterbots. I do recall one significant battle on Master's moon (I think) where they fought the Autobot Targetmasters.

Awesome topic for Halloween.....damn toys looked frightening too..lol.

1:50, basically Godzilla and King Kong. If Gridman by Takara was basically Ultraman along with some TF references, then these 2 are the classic movie monsters. Hell, Shellbandes the first monster in Dynazenon is literally Snapdragon. 3:00, a feat G-Force in Godzilla movies as well as the JSDF wished they can take other than Jet Jaguar facing off against Godzilla in G Singular Point. 5:00, this is the shot I remember mostly of these 2. It's so iconic tbh. Not to mention, watching the Omni dubs of this kinda makes it a little more special imo. 7:04, I often wonder if the Dinobots would face off against these 2. That woulda been sweet tbh. 7:45, dude....that sounds badass!!

Another great video 🎉🎊 Thanks 👍

🌟 *I've tuned in .*

Wow their both awesome!

I knew nothing of their story but Lizard v Monkey hit enough of a hype in Godzilla v Kong that I really wanted these. Plums they are cool toys!

Wish these characters expanded into Transformers Animated in the 2000s.

Hasbro: what should we name this HORROCON? It has to be e something monstrous. the writer: let's name it after flowers.

Keep the content coming.

3:18 Damn Hasbro didn´t cared at all with the horror cons designs, thei Headmasters partners are separated, but they are still attached in their beast modes

I imagine snapdragon as a mercenary spy sent by Grimlock to infiltrate a decepticon base.

Horrorcons are the evil counterparts of the heroic if not terrifying Monsterbots. Happy Halloween everyone.

I like their bief appearances in Headmasters. Those lovable troublesome scamps.

I continue to always look forward to your newest episodes of Transformers: the Basics as well as rewatching your prior episodes. Please keep up the wonderful work of expanding knowledge of Transformer Lore & History.

I have gotten apeface from Amazon today to add to my transformers collection.

3:28 *"HUH, SAYS YOU!!!"*
