Just... awesome. I like the scene where Soundwave and Bumblebee are just hugging it out.
The second was just downright comical!
Great job as usual, Jon!

Very funny and entertaining. Both vids. Thanks for sharing. Gotta watch the uncut version of Green energy now. The Vic Caroli cameo was epic. For a min. I thought it could've been Jon, but that voice is unmistakeable. Vic Caroli for Botcon 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to see if I can find it anywhere. I actually have met the guy who did it, his name is Ben (Hollywood Hoist on TFW) and he's a real nice guy. He's been in the contest for years and has finished second and third before. The video was called "Starting them young" and in it he shows his 2 1/2 year old son things about Transformers.
Very close call this year, but in my book a deserving winner.
Btw, here's a picture of Ben from one of our hotel room parties a few years ago. He's the guy standing in the middle of the picture.

Yeah, I've emailed him but he hasn't told me when his video is going up yet. I'll check.

I love both of these as well as all the Ravage videos, my favorite is with him and Grimlock from last year. Nice touch on the "mayhem/Grimlock" insurance bit, made my wife laugh even!

I try to make my brand of Transformers humor broad enough so that even non-TF fans can still enjoy it.
Glad you enjoyed it.

AWESOME! Thank you for that! Now... ONLY if we can get Ben aka Hollywood Hoist to post the 2010 video. I believe it won 3rd place that year and it was classic!

I asked him about that too so I'm hoping he'll upload that as well.

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me, that crappy imovie family home video is the winner of the Botcon filmfest? Seriously, no one should even bother entering.
People and their kids... keep it to yourself! The other videos showed seriously TALENT and VISION. I call for a ban on the filmfest next year. No wonder I don't waste my time at botcon in that room.
