"They're just bricks that turn into a vaguely man-shaped thing." Same.

*DID THEW JUST DAB!? YEESSS! HE HAS BECOME MEMES!* Edit: Also, I never realized before, but Thew looks exactly like my dad. Minus the beard.

So glad all that stuff made it safe, glad you liked it :). Sorry for wearing you out XD.

Someone may have already mentioned it but the gimmick with that Cyberverse Starscream is your twist his waist and let him spin around which splays out his wings as an ill-concieved attack.

I feel I should inform you, Thew, that our discord server's bot listed a picture of you dabbing as explicit.

Thew-Dab. Did not saw that one comin lol

The only way I could see Rocklords coming back is if they’re like structures made from that mineral like nugget is a gold castle, stix and stones are a jungle temple, etc

I've always wondered that too. What kind of Japanese folklore are Snaptrap and Blastoise based on? I've never seen imagery of a big ass turtle with weapons on its shell earlier than them or maybe the TMNT.

9:37 the dab 😂 (like 2 seconds after the timestamp)

5:24 I used to have that but lost all the pieces except for “Mixmaster”

Loved seeing Leader 1...still a classic character/toy.

That nautilator joke is quality indeed

Slusher car... to me that means one of 2 things. It either means a plow specifically for pushing around slush (not snow). Or, it's a car with a built in slushie machine :)

Armada hotshot is a hell of cutey imo tbh :)

Alright, another unboxing, cool figures, some candy- 19:41 *nearly chokes on my drink* THE HELL!?

I wonder if you could review more Studio Series figures because there are awesome! Edit: Love your content Thew!

That dab was amazing.

Tacit Ronin and Romeo Blue were older generation jeagers. They got destroyed in battles against kaijus and their remains can be spotted in the footage from Oblivion Bay. Romeo blue is also spotted in the exposition footage at the start of the first movie.

Grew up with g1 and loved them but have to admit gobots were better quality and actually looked like what they were meant to lol. Another amazing vid. Keep it up 👌🏻👍🏻

Those combiners are my childhood and I want them bacc

Starcom...that really takes me back, I seem to remember they had a really snazzy intro song...or a really crappy one, can't remember which but there was something about it and now I cannot rest till I rewatch it. Thanks for the memory jog.

Watching this while drunk on 31/12/2020 was an absolute blast!

The cutthroat reminded me of your 10 bots 10 shots with hungurr that inspired me to get a g1 blot as his own thing because I just love that fugly guy for no reason then I finally saw his robot mode that felt more begrudging than cutthroat’s and made me love him more. He may or may not hijack arm spot from blades on my defensor

With how hollow those legs were on Starscream, I almost expected a Starscr"beans" moment 😂

Oh snap best boi hotshot aka lost trademark bumblebee But a cool swordsbot until energon ... and cybertron

90's Sepultura reference hidden in plain sight there. I loved that album at the time

That Dab made me Happy ☺

Okay - hear me out. Rock Lords reboot - they all split in half and reveal some kind of fossil, and go on to transform into something vaguely inspired by the fossil. Trilobiter! MegaloDentus! Coprofite! Fernace!

Romeo Blue and Tactic Ronin were two Jaeger who were mentioned as being destroyed near the beginning of the movie. Theiy had dossiers on the website and were playable Units in the crappy melee game.

Entertaining as always, dude! Also, that's probably my favorite of the NECA Gipsy Dangers! Good haul!

Rocklords Sticks & Stones was voiced by Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, and I'd highly recommend the botcon 2011 toxitron repaint of animated Optimus Prime too.

You're not big you're just full of memories

Romeo Blue and Tacit Ronin were Mark 1s. You can see them when you rewatch the beginning. Tacit got their own comic series with 5 issues detailing their existence.

Those stickers are based on the Operation: Combination release of Bruticus, as McFeely's Basics on Japanese G1 will show.

When I first saw Leader 1 in jet mode, I thought he was one of those toy jets that came in an army men bag. XD

Watching the timeline of Thew's headmaster t-shirt is at times both gripping and poignant

Somebody needs to send him a decepticon themed knife sharpener

Cyberverse toys bum me out. They're hollow and cheap like McDonalds Happy Meal toys.

I just started watching animated for the first time, and I like it so far, even though I have only gotten through the 3 part thing in Season 1

Those tiny KO combiners remind me that once I found in a small shop a tiny KO of Energon Superion Maximus but I've never found any trace of it online.

Hey! I used to have an Adhoc Fighter! Really cheap, but was my first ever experience with a G1 styled toy!

Tacit Ronin and Romeo Blue where in the Prologue of the film

I have rotf backfire, and the dotm spike that came with the dotm version

Love your humour, and the music you play in these vids. You gained a subscriber

Honestly one of my favourite KZfaqrs

You can call the second Backfire “Recoil” and make them the better version of Skids and Mudflap

That earrape after mentioning his PO Box just screamed ‘Bearded Expense’ to me.-

The Voyager Animated Prime is the only automorphing transformer where I legit LOVE the gimmick.

i've had the same starcom guy hanging from a light fixture for about 30 years.

Find someone with a digger to crush the Constructicons for ultimate irony

those knockoff combiners would of made my eyes light up if I saw them at a dollar store

Was hoping you'd actually build a combiner out of Snaptrap, Cutthroat, Nosecone and Nautilator there... And show the actual Starscream gimmick. But entertaining as always :)

That was quite an unboxing vid there, Thew.

Good unboxing.these are always fun.

Liking for Thew dabbing in 2019 Edit: And Thew TIE Fighter

Hey Thew. Tacit and Romeo are Jaegers from the intro of Pacific Rim. If you ever get sent a Tacit Ronin don't take it out of the box. They have the NECA version of GPS and disintegrate alarmingly quickly. Also be careful with the Gipsy figure. My one likes to try and jump off my shelf so you may need to tighten the joints or get it a stand.

Ultra Magnus’s sword combines with his gun to make a bigger gun. Lol I just found that out yesterday 😂😂😂😂😂

The green bulldozer is actually a recolored Zybot, and the battleship is a KO of Man-O-War from Gobots.

I miss out on doing things I loved to do but I'm plagued by three disabilities and no hope in doing any jobs I loved to do, oh and one more thing I miss out doing fun things unless you count going to the movies

5:45 looks to me like a green Machine Robo Dozer with a black gun instead of silver which in vehicle mode is an exhaust.

i can feel my mouth burning just from seeing you eat those chili jelly beans.

Rock Lords should come back, except this time Hasbro will make them and in robot mode they'll be the Lithones. Only discovered recently that was what they were intended to be. Decades passed and I never made the link between their name and 'stone'. :)

I want the Generations update for Hotshot, that featured an articulated head, and more.

Thew man big fan the ultra magnas has an upgrade kit that makes it look awesome think it’s dr wu production keep rocking man

Those mini KO combiners would be nice to have. Work nice with Fortress Maximus, Metroplex & Trypticon when there in base modes.

I physically recoiled when Thew dabed

I love a good KO. I ordered my second Polyfect set off ebay this morning.

Wind Starscream at the waist like a pull back car and release for a "spinning attack" thingy

I love Transformers Armada Hotshot. That show lead me to discover G1. I'm enjoying your pizazz, you bring such fun and humor to your videos. Ooo! I've got an idea from your "beer-me" patreon link. Would you ever humor my odd sense of humor and do a "Drunk Transformation video?" Like have a few pints then attempt to transform (a figure/ toy you have a few of just in case if party fouls happen), I think it might be comedy gold. 🤣

the sarcastic dab fuckin got me dammit

Omg you got TFA Optimus!

Perfect way to start my Friday.

Thew: *dabs* Me: this is it... This is what I signed up for... *brain explodes*

I have several of those NECA Pacific Rim figures, including that same Gypsy Danger. NECA sorta bounces around in quality, some lines are great, others are kinda crappy. Fortunately the original Pacific Rim line is solid.

I'd love to have the KO Devastator!

Thew dabbing is so pure

Did he just dab? Lol hilarious Thew.

6 liner with man o war! 6 builder with dozer!

0:11 aww you are the best thew.

11:28 Mindwipe? More like "Facewipe!" 😆

You’d be surprised how many Jagers they made for pacific rim that didn’t make it in the movie

I sibscribed after watching your studio series ironhide review. I love your stuff man. You remind me of what I am likely going to be when i am older.

The Animated OP's waist section is gimmick'd. Have the front wheel panels folded right back and press the button on his spine just above where his pelvis tabs in. It should spin and drop down in to place.

If you did a beatdown of the ko combiners, it should be titled "combiner combustion!"

Well, there goes my plan for giving you my terrible Cyberverse Starscream... Might do it anyway. And where are people getting these tiny Devastators? I wouldn't mind one.

10:14 neckery. But OMW these are just constantly made and consistently great

15:57 OMG that was hilarious😂

I’ve been looking for the best jet mode and it’s freaking leader 1 omg I won’t fight you that’s definitely better than Starsceam g1 or otherwise

i have both human alliance backfire and whirl, and my whirl is knackered, the peg that keeps his tail together broke. my backfire just has knackered paint and a few insufficient pegs broke.

6:02 how dare ya knocking off the mighty man'o'war

That second and a half of Sepultura made the video lol

I used a Human Alliance Whirl to replace the rotors on Combiner Wars Vortex.

Is that a headmaster shirt?

Now I'm going to be thinking about Sepultura all afternoon, after that Cutthroat gag.

Theres also a zoid called Cannon Tortoise

6:05 That looks like a KO of the Minicon Deepdive.

Grumble, I"m looking for that Thrust......

cullen and welker did voice sticks and stones!

Nobody: My stomach after not eating for three seconds 0:22

For some reason i would gladly pay for that ko devastator
