"Why don't you fix them?"

"Have you ever tried to do complex engineering with giant metal hands? The most we can do is kick them a few times and see if they go back into place."

[thedman-zxip]

My favorite bit is that there is a moment in G1 where Jazz gets can't transform out of car mode and the problem is solved by Ironhide just kicking him really hard in the side

[primefighter]

You know when you were younger, you half transformed your Transformers and called it an Alt form.

[smackerooonii]

I feel like this wouldve been even better if Megatron was like "Oh alright we'll fix him up later" he just doesn't follow procedure because evil

[CaptainDoomsday]

I love the mid-sentence "It's basic procedure" when he realizes Soundwave isn't in his best interest to save.

[TheAndreasMustola]

Me: Why can't I repair my iPhone?
Apple: That's not procedure

[ratchetpokemaster]

"what defines a transformer isn't the cog in his chest but his spark... Unless he does have a cog and just can't transform, then it's just basic procedure."

[njivwathomassilavwe]

Bumblebee just unphased and going along with it. "Now that's a beating stick" just like mom used to say

[arbknight]

Orion Pax: “Great Primus. What should we do if a Cybertronian cannot complete a transformation?”

Primus: “Kill them with a big stick. It’s basic procedure.”

Unicron: “Yes it’s basic procedure.”

[MmmMmph]

"And then, once they're dead, we suck the Energon in their system out for future use."
"What?! Why the hell would you do that?!"
"Waste not want not."

"And it's basic procedure."

[Kaito]

"I'll get you, Gadget !"

Never saw that one coming lol

[khoid]

Plot twist: it's a multiplayer game and killing your teammate is the only way to get them to respawn without the bug.

[tymendez]

I love how Optimus just said really quick "but that's not procedure" I love it.

[Pseudowolf]

I love that they have a medic bot, but the "basic procedure" is still just to immediately go to beating the guy to death.

[Monody]

My favorite part of this is Optimus being friendly with Megatron over it, like yeah you can have the stick. Here.

[arbknight]

Ohhhh that’s why everyone was sad when Bumblebee lost his T-Cog in ‘Transformers Prime’. They couldn’t find a decent stick.

[MegaDrain]

1:01 The way Wheeljack says, "Yeah" sounds like he's even looking forward to it.

[MrTudenom]

“It’s just basic procedure” is now in my lexicon, thank you.

[huggo]

2:52 Didn’t expect Smii7y to be in this video

[dragonsword]

You know, weirdly enough, this Optimus voice is really nice. It sounds nothing like Peter Cullen, but it has that same "soft, gentle, but firm" vibe that his voice does. I hear this guy speaking and I can very clearly hear that this is the leader of the Autobots. Really well done
