"Behold! The ravages of aaaaage!" - I felt that in my lower back.

"Inferno's Ears" are actually the guns for Steeljaw. The initial release was gold but there was a running change to silver quite quickly.

Here is an insight into my naming conventions, but: For G2 Grimlock, I think the name Mithraurus is fun! A mix between the "poison king," Mithradate, and common ending of "saurus" of many archosaurs.

that is indeed a Go-Bot @27:12 As a matter of fact I still have mine from the 80's. I forget its name, but he was my "Sideswipe"

The little rubber Megatron is actually a birthday cake topper from the late 80's/early 90's. I had a Transformers themed birthday cake when I was 5, and it had one of those Megatron cake toppers. You just unlocked a deep seeded childhood memory.

I've been calling the G2 Grim Stomp so far, and I had much the same idea of renaming these guys

Great to see Dammit Open back! Also my name suggestion for the Grimlock is Phosphorrex

“Hazard-bite” might be a good name for your new grimlock. Happy hollows eve! Edited for spelling 😅

That ghostbusters figure of you is just perfect. You could totally be a ghostbuster if they wanted to do some movie about the business expanding into Europe or some other nonsense.

I think how Thew feels about the incremental improvements to Ironhide/Ratchet is how I feel Waspinator from 2013 to now. Just ever so slightly improved molds and paint decos that make me think "Dammit, I should've waited!"

That G2 Grimlock has to be one of the most spectacularly striking figures they’re released in years. Absolutely spectacular.

That Studio Series Ironhide and Prowl pack has got to be the most ironic thing that Hasbro has ever done with Transformers. Like, the whole point of the 86 movie was to thin out the cast and kill off the characters whose toys were getting discontinued from the product line. But since Transformers has basically cemented itself as a legacy brand, we’re constantly getting new and improved versions of those classic characters and don’t really have to worry about their presence in media being affected by product availability. Cut to the modern-day landscape of Transformers Generations, and Hasbro decides to celebrate characters like Ironhide and Prowl’s role in the film by rereleasing their most recent figure entries, but going out of their way to retool them in a way to represent their dying moments. The way I see it, these releases of Ironhide and Prowl are new toys of characters who’s original toys were retiring from the original toyline. It’s a product representing the discontinuation of another product, and I don’t know I’m kind of for it.

Ya know, I think the set-up might look better if you got some LED bars from IKEA and run them along your shelves at the back. Maybe in blue or even purple? I think it would help with the stark contrast between the foreground and background.

Happy Halloween Thew! Have a spooky one! Great to see you open the PO Box again.

Hasbro team sounds like a really cool, chill group and it shows in how great the GIjoe and Transformers lines have been for the past while. Definitely on board for that beachcomber, as the recent 86 Brawn is also pretty great. Say what you will about Ironhide/Ratchet but I'm super excited to finally have decent definitive iterations of these two in the collection as the last time around for me was either Animated and the absolutely awful Generations mold which I think I only had the Ratchet. Really too bad the Death pack gets the superior paint aps and plastic windows. I can see Death pack 2.0 being Ratchet and Brawn.

Thew shouting out Panera and Pawtucket is amazing! RI is my home state, and Panera was my first job!

This dudes the only creator who could dissapear for half a year and everyone respects him more for it.

A week of work, being too exhausted to do more than sleep, eating hyperprocessed garbo that people claim is great? YUP...that's authentic americana circa 2023.

Top notch content, always happy to see a new thew vid 😂👍

Yellow Grimlock kinda reminds me of the T. rex from those old mineral water commercials. How about calling 'em Volvicon?

Happy Thew-Loween! How about "Tarpit" for G2 Grimlock's true name?

17:18 How about Smoglus? Smog, the black smoke that factories put off, and to make it more name-y the lus

I was just gonna call him Tiger-Rex. Also my one issue with G2 Grimlock is that he still has the G1 insignias.

14:56 yeah, about that My copy of Legacy Dirge has a closed mouth. Guess there’s a variant out there

I confess I am super sceptical when it comes to marketing and sales types in the main but Emily genuinely feels like a rare exception. She comes over as just really great and likable, and an all round good egg to a point where even my cynicism melts, especially when she and Lenny are paired up on GI Joe stuff. They come over more like pals having the best time, then folks in the 9-5 grind, if that makes sense? Anyway, glad it went well, you and Dan made for a good pairing!

You're not fat, skeleton, you're just Big Boned!

Great fun as always Thew! Hope you have a happy Halloween, also I feel like Acidisausrus Wrecks is an appropriately ridiculous name for g2 Grimlock. Have a good one!

G2 Grimlock doesn't need Toyhax. He needs Chiquita stickers.

Great to see Dammit, Open! back. I recently picked up the first Legacy Hot Shot at MCM London for a tenner (from In Demand Toys). Equally unenthused, but happy to finally have an Armada Hot Shot, and tbf he's pretty fun in car mode!

It might just be the stripes but that Grimlock makes me think of Greymon from Digimon. A little more brown and it would be perfect.

It’s not Halloween without some Thew content! Have you considered continuing Trucktober with Novroomber?

The slot machine guy! I loved that toy as a kid. I had a full on flashback seeing that thing.

So cool you were in my home state Rhode Island (Pawtucket) even briefly, shame you didnt get to check out more of Massachusetts and RI while you were here. Loved seeing you and Dan on the Livestream you guys did an amazing job! Also cherish that steeljaw he's the best cassette.

Thew's Halloween costume is proof that he's just big-boned.

"Gremlin" popped in my head for yellow Grimlock lol

It’s a white Halloween night where I’m at in Canada but still gonna be fun. Figure wise Transart tarantulas arrived which kinda fitting with the fear of spiders on a spooky night, that and devil saviour demolishor and the transformation looks like a nightmare looks good tho

Grimlock colors remind me of Weirdwolf. Love it!

Name suggestion for Grimlock if you still want it: Dinohazard

Love from Massachusetts. Love that you came to my neck of the woods.

Please continue to reference the Tim Robinson motorcycle bit every time you look at a motorcycle alt mode forever

Congrats on the album, that stuff is awesome 😎

Nothing makes me happier than a new Thew Video

I hope there are truckformers in today's boxes!

I REALLY didn't like Legacy Prime Arcee, but the Flamewar repaint is cool. I think it has to do with the fact that she doesn't need to look like Arcee from the Prime cartoon so you don't get "not accurate" vibes from looking at her, and that color scheme simply LOOKS better than the blue of the original, especially if you do the alternate transformation of the back kibble to put the wheels up there like the original Energon Arcee repaint, which is a better homage for Flamewar than Prime Arcee

Flamewar has a pretty sick paint scheme…for a recycle of Arcee. For Grimlock’s rename how about……Grindclaw.

let's keep Grimlock with a Hasbro approved name and call him Cesspool

Gotta admit I’ve got a soft spot for Beachcomber He just wants to talk to birds!

Don't feel bad, live in America and still haven't fully experienced it outside of a windshield ... life if a truck driver😔😁😁😆😆

10:50 theres something so funny about dirge just being called "DIRGE"

I'm so excited for the new magmatron. Never thought they would bring him back. And armada minions!? A great time to be a tf fan 😊

Hope that Ironhide and Prowl get rereleased without the battle damage and keep the opaque plastic instead of translucent

my first thought for the G2 grimlock is just "Bananasaurus" and it doesnt go with the toxic theme, but he does have a banana vibe to him

Lemme suggest the name Radosaur for G2 Grimlock. Mix of "Rads" a measurement of radiation, also cause 90s radical, and dinosaur and also a reference to the Rhedosaurus from The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms

17:15 Carnosaur! Like a portmanteau of Carnage and Dinosaur.

Thew your videos are god damn ahmazing love your work dude.. you got me back into transformers and im very grateful thank you 🤘

Good to see you back mate

rogue limb goes hard, great stuff thew!

Unicron Trilogy Megatron has often been called Master Megatron

Also try toxosaur or acid-eater. Sound metal.

Petition to have Thew voice the next version of Grimlock

Dude, they should cast you as Grimlock You just got the voice for it

Anyone else get nostalgic hearing the PO Box address again?

I hope if you get a chance to visit the U.S. Again you get to see more of Massachusetts. Especially the North Shore! :D

That Grimlock is doing something for me. I wonder if I simply HATED the insult of that Wheelie pack-in so much it rubbed off on him.

It's too much fun seeing Thew and Dan Larson together. It's like my personal Batman V. Superman.

17:17 Definitely gonna call him Crudolium (a compound of Crude oil and Petroleum, two Fossil Fuels, which is kinda self explanitory)

6:44 same, mate. Respect.

Shattered Glass Flamewar looks like a rule63 Hot Rod/Rodimus.

Fun video! Thank you! And, yes, that red Lambo GoBot is the Renegade, Spoiler. New name suggestions for Toxic Grimlock: Tyrannosaurus Tox T-Tox Venomous Tyrannus Dino-Hazard

Hallethewiah, Thew's Unboxing is making comeback! The thrill of seeing who's lucky follower of Thew's channel getting giveaway, in this case two.

Those "Inferno Ears" are actually Steeljaw's weapons. :-) Another wonderful "DAMNIT, OPEN!!!" Lord Thew! Many thanks for the giveaways and for continuing to be so wonderful!

And for the ‘g2’ Grimlock, I’d go ‘Semolinasaur’ or ‘Semolinasaurus’

Gotta call that G2 Grimlock like "Septisaur" or something.

With the toxic g2 colors I love em all the only ones I never got was the g2 cycle and sideswipe, and I call my g2 grimlock his beach vacation

Rexplosion was the first thing that came to my head

Hasbro is in a different neighboring tiny state not Massachusetts but genuinely close enough. I used to live probably 10min or so from the hasbro HQ but sadly not somewhere you can just waltz in and ask to see stuff but I did get to try nerf rival before it came out so that was neat.

Needs a thermal sticker on his head. like the g-1 Grimlolck. love the content. Made me smile. I do not smile often.

You were in my neighborhood. Pawtucket. Sweet. I lived one block from Hasbro, Armistice Blvd.

Rubbery Megatron is a pencil topper! Came painted

Tar pit could be a good name for the Grimlock alter.

Happy Thewloween!!

Toxo-ranus for Yellow Grimlock

I was hoping to see him today 👏

The gobot name is goodnight. I had him when I was a kid

Contaminus Rex, to riff on the "hazardous waste" vibe.

Love your work Legend !

Hahahahaha, loved the 'if I was a ninja' song.

The second and third decade of the twenty-first century brought two great things to Transformerdom - ankle tilt and blast effects, and if the engineers aren't practicing saying "You're Welcome" to fans of the future, they're falling behind.

Hey thew good to have you back for halloween

Love this series!

T-Rex is believed to have had a septic bite. So something like Septic might work? Or perhaps Infect or Serrate if you don't want to be reminded of poo

Just started listening to your new album and holy shit I'm loving it so far!! Keep it up my guy X333

Let's make that G2 Grimlock a Decepticon and call him Toxotyrant.

I love ❤ your videos Im in a very good mood when I watch them . . . thank you.

Id call the g2 grimlock Waste Pit like nuclear waste for the toxic colors and the pit for tar pits like dinosaurs are found in sometimes

I'm tempted to get that Ironhide set just to complete the run. Cybertron, on route to earth when he didn't quite get it, Earth proper, and dead.

G2 Grimlock could be called Toxosaurus Rex!

I call Armada Megs, Destron. It just fits his vibe (I am aware that is the name of the Decepticon faction in Japan)

I wish I could like go back in time and tell 2007 Thew all the cool shit he's going to be doing in the 2020s.

If you're ever in Providence again and have more time we're halfway twixt there and Boston and would be happy to help in any way.
