Starscream was on there, but the DJD like to go in order. The only times that they did not were Overlord & Megatron because they outright stopped being Decepticons and were insanely powerful. Additionally Megatron liked keeping Starscream around, not because he was stupid, but so that he never let his guard down. Starscream also paid the Combaticons to guard him in the event that he was pursued by the DJD. While the DJD would cut through the Combaticons like butter (since they could not combine into Bruticus at this point) it would still make Tarn plan more carefully, since he actually cares for his troops.

I gotta admit, Tarn making the jump to cartoons in Cyberverse was unexpected for me, but it is great to know that they can be featured outside of comics. I'm gonna add the DJD to my Transformers fanfiction, serving as a Decepticon guard under Shockwave and Scorponok.

I have an idea for how the D.J.D could become toys in some future toy line- Tarn- Tarn would be a lot like Megatron to an extent. He’d have his dual fusion cannon and his creepy Symbol Mask, but nothing really big. He’d transform into his tank mode, as per normal, and would be a leader class. Kaon: Kaon wouldn’t be that big a change either. He’d transform into his normal Electric Chair, and would have Lightning effects, and a Sparkeater as an accessory. He’d be a Voyager class. Helex: Now, this is where things get a bit interesting. He would be a leader class transformer, and he’d be able to fit Legends class into his smelting pool, which would be able to light up. He’d transform into what he normally does and all his arms would be articulated. Tesarus: He’d be a Leader Class as well, with the same function as Helex. He’d have to articulative arms to grab Legends class and bring them into his chest, which could spin using a special switch. Vos: Alrighty, Vos is where the entirety of this comes together. He’d be a Deluxe class, seeing as he turns into a sniper rifle. His face wouldn’t be removable, at least with out some... editing... however it definitely would work! If anyone wants to know what I’d think of Nickel, she’d be a Legends class, so she could fit in Tesarus’ chest. Anyways, there ya go!

I loved how their introductory comic issue was titled "Who's afraid of the DJD" scans perfectly to "Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" kid's song.

Lol, of course Tarn gets destroyed by Grimlock

I'm glad Tarn made an appearance in Cyberverse. I hope the rest of the DJD makes a debut soon.

Even as someone who considers themselves to be a big nerd on Transformers I had no idea these guys existed until my friend told me about them like last week.

And then Cyberverse S4 happened and changed EVERYTHING.

I'd see the DJD more likely to appear in the War For Cybertron Netflix series, probably later down the line, especially since it's geared towards an older audience.

shortest video ever?

Helex: derrete o bot Tarn: voz da morte Kaon: cadeira elétrica Vos: Rifle Tesarus: torso com lâminas

I think Vos would be the easiest to tone down enough to where they could make a toy out of him. They did it with Megatron, who originally turned into a gun, and with Sixshot, and thus, Quickswitch and Greatshot, so as far as I see it, nothing wrong with doing the same with Vos.

Turns into an electric chair? I really want some toys of these guys now. Though, I have a suspicion that first party ones aren't going to happen any time soon.

We're getting one in Legacy next year

Great job. Only thing that'd make me happier is a BASICS on the Scavengers.

In the Beast Wars Uprising Universe Punch infiltrated the DJD as Counterpunch. It is unknown what his codename was. However we do know that there was a statue of Counterpunch in Helex that that has been replaced with the words "Helex, Never Forget" suggesting that he was found out.

I’m so glad the DJD got the Basics treatment! I honestly have never read any of the comics they’re featured in but bought the Mastermind Creations figures on their amazing designs alone. So it was wonderful to get a nice, organized look at their history! Lovely stuff!

The Autobots in the Lost Light universe kinda have their own counterpart - Star Saber, the Dark Evangelist. Also, Tarn has one major appearance in cartoons - as the main villain of perhaps the very finale of Transformers: Cyberverse. Eh, he has appeared before that, but as a mere supporting character labeled The Perfect Decepticon (there were many Decepticons who looked like him).

Imagine our surprise when Tarn of all bots showed up in Cyberverse.

I think if the wreckers could get toy appearances, we could also get some djd toys. At least I hope we could. They did an Overlord fully knowing what he's like in the comics! C'mon at least give us Nickel, you cowards!

With the Wreckers (except for Impactor), and Overlord, they were toys first and the ideas came later. Not so with DJD. That said, Nickel totally needs to be a toy so I can slowly put together the Scavengers (do an episode on them!)

I read pirated comics. I am broke.

As far as comic accurate toys go, third party figures may be the best bet

Who's back here after that awesome Pulsecon reveal?

Crazy that a character like Tarn managed to show up in Cyberverse, and he's even getting a toy in legacy next year

Coming back to this after Tarn got announced for the Transformers Legacy toyline is such a trip.

I honestly think Tarn was a great final villain for Cyberverse

Straight Beast!!! These are some wonderful additions to the Transformers lore!!!

Basics on The Scavengers. A mixture of legacy and original characters thrown together, reminded me of the random colle tion of characters I had as toys back when, one of the best things to come out of lost light

Some updates with Tarn is that he is getting a Voyager Class Retail figure in 2023 as part of the Legacy Evolution toyline, and he ended up appearing in a Cyberverse Bumblebbee special episode last year

Me at the start: eh, just a bunch of edgelords Me at the end: that's some interesting characterization 👌👌

This was fascinating. The most evil Transformers I’ve ever heard about. Thanks for this. Wow...

I'm surprised we didn't get these guys, or at least Tarn, in the Siege toy line.. Yeah they'd have to tone them down if they appeared in the show, but getting figures of them would have been amazing!

I guess you could say they were taken out by a cosmically powered Megatron.

Thanks! I bought the Flame Toys Tarn but didnt really know anything about him. Your videos are really informative and fun to watch

Thanks for the video! I have seen that DJD leader before with that model kit but I couldn't find his name so I thought he was fanmade!

Little did we know that 2 yrs from when this was made, Tarn would make an appearance in Cyberverse, and a little over a year later, he would (FINALLY) get his own official Legacy (FULLY-transforming) figure which is damn-near perfect.😍😍😍

7:10 That's the understatement of the year.

Great and informative episode. I’ve been hearing about the DJD for years from folks who love the newer comics series. I tried to get into it when it started, but I just couldn’t get into it. Your episode have a great insight into who these characters are. I now have a much better understanding of what they are, and why a lot of fans like them! I always watch your videos every Saturday. Thanks so much for all that you do for the fandom!

7:14 them not showing in toys... Transformer Legacy toyline Tarn: hold my beer

I could see the DJD being made vaguely more kid friendly by retconning them more into generic Spec Ops Decepticons rather than hunting down turncoats specifically. I did like Tarn's 'cameo' in Cyberverse, or at least his rockin design.

Actually if Shattered Glass ever comes back I'd love the DJD as a group of 'super hero' Decepticons, like the Justice League or something. A far reaching team that operates 'outside' of the chain of command, just going around and foiling the plans of the nasty Autojots

Imagine transforming into an electric chair…. ‘Decepticons! Retreat!’ Amp/Kaon: astrotrain, carry my imobile ass

Great episode. I'd love to see your take on the Scavengers as well.

I just noticed something you never made the basics of Megatron and Optimus

Because we're "legacy" named transformers which means our names are everywhere and can never be replaced by a new character for instance ironhide was a legacy character back then but lately he hasn't been a legacy character since RID01 until Michel bay touched the franchise to bring it back to life ironhide came back as a legacy character with his personality from g1 there's already a vid Chris made about this the basics on transformers characters

which one(s)? be easier to a video of each in each seperate continuity

And yet what looked like TARN Showed up in cyberverse earlier this year. Sadly is was just some sort of drone that some really evil megatron had created and had multiple of.

Justice Division vs Wreckers is a different topic of their rivalry. Each individual justice is different throughout by their ideals. Deathzaras, Overlord, Tarn and others are awesome villians.
