So....this is basically the train version of Robocop? Also human Thomas does remind of Gideon.

God imagining living without being able to move my head or turn my body or move in any direction besides forward and backward is actually kind of terrifying

[michaelkeehan]

"YOU ARE NOW A TRAIN!"
Thomas had never heard such bullshit before.

[walterclements]

“No your wife wants a divorce” HAHAHAHA

[ztk]

Raiden: "There are fates worse than death."

[BMRiding]

"No! Your wife wants a divorce"

[DippedasinGone]

His face turned gray From the decomposition

[zockerjhd]

"No. Your wife wants a divorce."😅😅😅
Exept that this was really dark.

>inb4 Shed 17

And since when does a 19th century Steam Engine have a Diesel horn?

[nukeflower.]

1:44 the fat controller is taking all the credit when the doctor actually made him into a train

"We have Shed 17 at Home."

I like how there was a Thomas the train ad before this

[neillefrancis]

Every time I hear a train horn passing by I now think it’s the cries of help of Tom urging for sweet relief.

[Baffon]

So this is the true origin story of Thomas the Tank Engine....guess my childhood's ruined.

[masonmacdonald]

And then, Sir Topham Hatt created Bio-Fusion. It ended up killing some people, and a monster was unleashed from it, but we forget about that.

[connoisseuroftigolbitts]

This is dark man, I think Thomas rather stay dead 😂😂😂
I love how they literally have his actual face attached to the train

[kennithball]

Tom got very lonely as a train.

We had to give him friends.

We gave all of these trains gray faces so it wouldn't be as disturbing.

I know this because I was a part of this.

[robertharris]

The fact that his screaming is the horn makes it even better.

[azwrathfrost]

After he died, I thought his spirit gonna possess the train. 😂
He looks like Dipper Pine with Fry's Hair style.

[vexale]

“No, Your wife wants a divorce!” I died of laughter after that.
