For the record, the business Thew is talking about at 3:10 was a time when the Transformers Collectors Club apparently had some seriously outdated software on their website when Over-Run got put on there. So the site got hacked, a number of people ended up having their credit card info and login information leaked, and the Club spent a couple weeks completely failing to contain the problem or come up with a good answer for why. I think it was the point when the fandom opinion of Fun Publications officially moved from "aw, they're alright, ennit?" to "wow, these guys are utterly incompetent."

@@walterlopez5054 Ayup - I mean to say, there was always people who didn't like them and their operation always had some major issues. There's a laundry list of exclusives preceding that period that had some kind of problem; the Seacons had major mold degradation problems, Nightbeat's ears were removed last-minute, Heatwave's combiner head didn't store correctly half the time, Punch's head was tiny. Not to mention the website being hilariously outdated in general. But 2012 was the point when they officially started losing ground, between the Over-Run issue and most of the Botcon releases being mediocre or undesirable.

I know you're probably over the comments on every new video saying that it's some of your best work yet, but in my opinion the videos you've put out this year and in 2020 have genuinely been the best work you've ever done. Not to mention some of my personal favorite content. Yes that includes what they've got going on at netflix and disney+. Your stuff is really that good. Very few things in life give me that warm feeling inside than settling in from a long day to see a new Thew video in my patreon feed. I keep catching myself backing up a few seconds to appreciate the wordplay you craft, or take in the photos you snap and the graphics you create. The production value you're able to bring as one dude is genuinely insane to me at times. Anyways, not just trying to big you up too much, but I really do love what you're doing.

If you're referring to the Marvel comic that they headline in, then Beavis and Butthead are the Runabout and Runamuck of MTV, as the Battlechargers were featured a good 5 years or so before that other duo of idiots. For those reading this who don't know, Runabout and Runamuck in the Marvel book act and talk almost exactly like you would expect Beavis and Butthead to act if they were Transformers -- it's quite funny, and a bit eerie that Transformers "predicted" Beavis and Butthead so early on.

His hands were covered in so much plastic flash he couldn't hold his gun, his tabs would go into their slots and the painted parts were done by a blind man with no sense of smell. But some work with an x-acto knife, cutters and model paint got him right as rain.
