Megatron: "Counterpunch, may I talk to you please?" Counterpunch: "Yes lord Megatron. Do you wish to discuss you plans to attack the Autobots?" Megs: "No. It's just that I've noticed some weird things lately..." CP: "Oh?" Megs: "Yes, well for starters, you have a name which is very similar to an Autobot... What was it ... Punch?" CP: "Ah, well, this must be one of those weird coincidences..." Megs: "Perhaps, but I've noticed that your back looks suspiciously like his front..." CP: "Ah, really... well that's weird..." Megs: "Yes. And my soldiers have assured me that they've also noticed that Punch's back looks suspiciously like your front..." CP: "Oh, well, hey, maybe we're long lost brothers or something..." Megs: "That would probably explain why you both have this weird black helmet-like head." CP: "Euh... eh, eh, yeah, I guess so..." Megs: "And why you both have the exact same alt-mode..." CP: ** sweats fucking bolts at this point **

By the holy decree of Primus, he shall henceforth be referred to as Counch-Puntercounch exclusively. Make it so.

Not enough love in the comments section for 'Count Peter Crouch' so I'm redressing the balance. Well played. Do the robot to celebrate.

Ahhh! Vid full of puns / conterpuns!

*Counterpunch walks into Maccadam's* COUNTERPUNCH: "Greetings, good man! Might I trouble you for a drink?" MACCADAM: "Oh, get outta here, Punch." COUNTERPUNCH: "Punch? Who is Punch? My name is Counterpunch!" *Counterpunch is thrown out, as Punch walks past* PUNCH: "Oh my Primus, this bot is my exact double!"

Benedict Counterpunch and Power of the Papoose straight had me

Finally a Thew review of Counch-Puntercounch. Im so funny.

It’s 3 years later and I still come back for, “THE POWER OF THE PAPOOSE!” Hahahahahaha

One of the more common story motifs that gets thrown around on the rare times Punch does show up is that he's worried about that whole split-personality takeover. Like he's worried that he likes being Counterpunch too much. Guess Thew found the reason - namely, Counterpunch looks better. Also, frankly, given the quality of your average Thirteen story, I can't help but think "yeah, they kinda deserved this nonsense."

My older sister has a thing where she's sort of interested in Transformers, but mostly just more obscure characters ('84 Ark crew who didn't quite make it out of G1 like Bluestreak, female Autobots who aren't Arcee, and mid-to-late G1 'bots like guess who?), so as soon as I showed her that a Generations Counch/Puntercounch existed, she insisted I should get one. I still haven't (The Prime Wars Dinobots/Terrorcons, the Siege Ark Crew, and Studio Series everything is holding my focus), but I'd like to someday.

The wordplay was absolutely next level in this vid. Benedict Counterpunch got me so bad

Roadtrip Mode 2, Bunch Outforlunch! Coming to a theater near you.

The bunch out for lunch is the most underrated rhyme you did 😂😂😂

Brilliant! The "Bunch Outforlunch" bit got me!

1:50 Thew: "Spiky bike helmet" Me: SBIKEY Helmet?

Counch/Punter-Counch

As soon as I got mine, I set little Prima off to the side on my bedspread and proceeded to completely forget about her for the better part of an hour, and by the time I remembered "Oh yeah, there was another toy in that box, wasn't there?" she was long gone. So I basically got one of the most powerful characters in the Transformers universe, and immediately lost it. Whoops.

I find the prime armor works well as a Sideswipe style jetpack.

I nearly spit out my coke when you said "Benedict Counterpunch"! 🤣🤣🤣 I ❤❤ you so much for that! Keep making these videos, and I'll keep eating them up!!

I almost spit my chocolate at that ending xD

I am laughing much harder than I should at "Crunch Monstermunch."

Someone make a Drift/Deadlock out of this.

Whenever I talk about this guy after watching this video I always say "or as thew calls him. Counch - punterCounch"

Just had to rewatch this for Thew Being just the best and not a single other reason... nope... nothing else at all

I actually kinda like the primes, not for the intended play, but to have. More annoying is half of the 13 were pack-ins to their biggest and rarest toys. At least Takara bailed us out from Hasbro's half-assed rare ass event exclusive bombast, but good luck getting the last one of you didn't want predaking. I just say the thirteenth was

Bunch Out for Lunch? I'm just dead now. Can't stop laughing at that.

Bunch Outforlunch killed me, I am dead of laughter.

“I was expecting a game changer” yeah me too but sometimes a car is just a car

Oh, the perfect way to end a bad day. Some puns, some laughs, a generally cheerful vibe, and robots. Thank you Thew for cheering me up. 😁

OH MY GOSH IT'S THE HONEST TRAILERS GUY!!!!!

I swear, I die laughing every time he flashes back to the video he got this. Counch - Puntercounch! I know it was a mistake, but dammit, that's funny!

Counch-puntercounch is the decepticon equivalent to punch

been a year and a half and I still refer to him as Counch Puntercounch automatically instead of his actual name.

Speaking of POTP: as of yesterday i FINALLY completed my Volcanicus.

Love this review. As always intertaining as hell and for one of my favorite characters to boot. To make things better for this figure, his alt mode is based on a customized Infiniti Vision GT concept. Epic win all round!

This video is indubitably the crème de la crème of Transformer reviews.

One of the best toy reviewers around!

Just completely lost it at 5:00 when Thew does his best unintentional David Attenborough.

Cool review. It’s nice seeing someone else’s review of a bot I did. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for #200

Oh my god that last line made me laugh so hard my cat looked at me like maybe she should take *me* to the vet...

Just in from work, got myself a Jack & Coke & settled down for your latest review..., and once again I'm having to rewind the 'Counch-Puntercounch' section over & over again, trying to stifle the same hysterics as the unboxing video, what with the missus & kids being asleep upstairs. I love the realisation hitting half way through saying it. Absolutely brilliant!!!

Oh amazon, if only you hadn’t fudged my order, I’d have this guy. Excellent review as always

Power of the Papoose! 🤣🤣🤣😂

I remember being very impressed with this guy for his modern car altmode. We never get those anymore, now everything has to be the same 40 year old vehicles. Well, once my fingers had stopped hurting from doing the shoulder-fix. The best description I've ever seen of this guy was "It's like if James Bond had an alter-ego he used for infiltration called Counterbond, who was obviously just James Bond walking backwards with a hat over his face, and drove James Bond's car. And somehow it worked." Then again, 50% of Megatron's army is identical jetplane guys, and another 20% is identical camera/rectal thermometer guys. Punch and Counterpunch would hardly be the first guys to share an alternate mode.

im still crying at power of the papoose. After so many months. its just hilarious

Punch, counter-punch. I think you needed a refresher from the puns

This made me genuinely laugh out loud. Thank you Thew, I needed that.

Hilarious as usual! FYI, I believe the gun can store underneath the car mode, for whatever that's worth.

Love the Peacey P reference!

I was having such a naff day but then this vid turned up and made me feel better. Thanks Thew... Thewks. But yeah, when I went to London MCM, I saw him at the In Demand Toys stall, but I instead went for PotP Blast Off instead (as I wanted a slightly accurate Bruticus as well as having the flamethrower arm thing like with the Fall of Cyberton guy). Maybe I'll pick CPC another time (if they have any of him left).

Entertaining as always. I really liked my Punch/Counterpunch.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Mr. Thew!!!!

Just got this (ordered it in December), i was torn on it but you convinced me. Also i found that keeping the shoulders in the Counterpunch configuration for Punch works way better, and he still still looks different enough.

You mentioned POTP, and I honestly had to try and remember what that one was all about...

Awesome review of my favorite Autobot whose living his baddest spark as a Deceptithug...lol. You the con is serious with those 80's metal shoulder rockers. !

Hilarious! Even when you’re not that into a figure you still make me want to get it...

Far out! You're aliteration is on point!

Thew gets extra points for no tired forced "My autobot counterpart is nearby...real nearby" joke. Just replace it with puns.

Pun counter pun , what a great review, keep it up!

"The names Punch, Counter-Punch"

Thew uploaded on my birthday What a great gift

Ohhohohoh, so you were working on Punch-Counterpunch review. Nice. :D

I only came back in to watch COUNCH PUNTERCOUNCH madness. (And this is where I first saw it; like you always remember your first.)

Yay another review with our mate thew!

My favorite of the three exclusives. I really, really love the G1 toy for it's boldness and gimmick, and I knew I'd love this one. I agree with the POTP gimmick though. I've just kinda threw the POTP combiner hands into a box with the rest of the CW kibble I have. I threw the exclusive Primemasters from the three into Trypticon's belly where they sit with a few of my unused TR heads. I really only got the Primemasters with the Pretender suits. That's what I really wanted. A shame we never got the "Galactic Heavyweight Champ" Stranglehold. I love that guy.

I now exclusively refer to him as Counch/Punter-counch.

My favourite toy as a kid (the original G1), can't wait to get this one.

that end gag got me so good

That sure looks like a decent figure. I knew I should've picked him up at $24.99. Now he's bought out and sold at scalper prices at Amazon. Great review of Counch Punter-Counch Thew btw

His gun stores under the front of the car on a peg attached to one of the shoulders, also flip down his 'Con flap for car mode so everything like the grill fits better. Cheers mate!

i usually leave the Prime Papoose on the back of the figure. essentially making it a God-Powered-Jetpack

I honestly want a Drift/Deadlock repaint of this soo bad

A Peace-y P reference in a P/CP review? This is why I subbed.

@4:18 laughed my ass, excuse me - arse - off at that one.

Are you sure it’s safe to talk about Punch like this? His Decepticon counterpart might be nearby!

I liked the look myself that I had to get two of them to have him in both Autobot and Decepticon mode. And to be a bit creative I used the Prime armor as a backpack that way you couldn't see his secondary bot mode. Still a fun badass figure.

a thew video, on my birthday. Cheers

In case you didn't know, there's a little tab that plugs into the handle of the gun one of his shoulders and that allows you to stash it away in car mode.

If you want each mode to have a weapon, Universe Scourge’s double-barreled blaster works really well for Counterpunch, and you can even store it under the front of the car if you put the back of the gun near the grill and the barrels between the head and the other gun.

Finally was able to get my own Counch-Puntercounch, for my early birthday present 😁

6:14 & 6:16 Aldi is basically affordable Mercedes.

I’m here Thew! It’s your doctor coyote guy who watches you!

That hurt baby Jazz's feelings when you said he was rubbish

2:08 THANK YOU! As much as I love the hand-flip feature, I HATE how DINKY the arms are!

Nicely done sir

I feel assaulted after listening to the intro with headphones in lol 😂

The car mode really looks like some British sports mobile

As soon as I saw the Abominus I had to ask since I have no clue if the Terrorcons'll get a vid, what do you think of it/them? Your combiner reviews had me finally break and get them as my first set of combiners, and I can't believe how weird and fun they look.

I'm pretty sure the Combiner Hand thingy is SUPPOSED to be a secret agent-y jetpack for 'im.

He makes me want to buy ol' Pouch-Mangopouch.

Honestly holding the original next to the new....it's a perfect upgrade like...honestly I've stood them against each other in all forms? and they all look EXACT. I love that baby

Heck yeah! Counch Punter-Counch!

Love your reviews

DUDE THE HOMESTAR REFERENCES I JUST

I guess the fist could work as a jet pack on his back.

The car mode roughly looks like the mid-engine Corvette prototype

Pref the Autobot mode actually. I own the G1 version as well and I love the PotP version.

all the

I really hope it gets a retail release someday, even though it's an exclusive, because this figure looks totally legit for a modern Punch/Counterpunch. ☺ Oh, I'm sorry; Counch/Puntercounch. X3

I really dig this figure but do you put him with your autobots or decepticons
