I swear that there's no single time where I go there to read a bio of one obscure Transformer, and then 3 hours later I find myself reading the bio of Michiyamenotehi Funana.
Say, is that the original Machine Robo name? I'm so ashamed that I think I need to have a black mark put on my nerd card or something...but I only know it by its GoBots name, Monsterous.
16:37 That big blue car that Jeremy gave you is Hello Carbot Grandeur Hawk he's a 1:23 scale model of a licenced Hyundai Gandeur from season 1 of the Show, only a handful of Western people have reviewed this toy me and Benscollectables included, with your backlog I doubt you'll ever get around to reviewing it... also Toyworld Coolsville nails the G1 toy aesthetic in both modes but it's an absolute nightmare to transform... 😖
Your Megatronia vid is probably one of the best reviews you've done. Production value and the pure enthusiasm are top notch. I need to find one now too!
As always, a pleasure seeing you again. I spent most of the weekend hiding in hotel rooms so I might need to push it out big style next year. Thanks for the words on RRCo.
Great haul Thew, you are certainly loved and appreciated by everyone in the Transformers community for your contribution to the fandom. Really gutted I didn't get to chat with you and hang out. I can't help but smile and laugh with you on your videos, so naturally hilarious
TFNation this year was a blast. First time going and returning next year in full force. Been a pleasure meeting you, even if you were a bit wrecked. Take care lad!
Hahahaha, an amazing haul. Would love to attend a TF con sometime in my life. Oh gawd, those Galaxy Shifters, haha. My sister recently bought her kid one of those things and I told her it was a piece of knock off rubbish. It was broken within the hour, I couldn't stop laughing. I checked out the box and only laughed harder when I saw it was sold by Funtastic and remembered one of your skits from a previous Beatdown episode.
Glad you enjoyed the brown box of delights from our brief meeting just before your panel (thanks for answering my question on crossovers with Transformers and other toy lines😉). I got Snarl just to make up for the fact I couldn't source Spinister's other Target master partner, thanks for the mention in the video! 😀
Aside from a linewide lack of bicep and thigh swivels, Hello Carbots are excellent toys. Good transformations, great size, great build quality. I suspect you're going to like it.
Sounds like you had a fantastic time. Are you gonna review any of the figures you got? Really wanna see Cybertron Megatron or Titans Return Blitzwing. I also want to see Atax or Godzilla on Toygrind. Also, does that little robo that transforms into an X count as an X-transbot?
By far my favourite UA-camr now. I'm a collector myselff from the rustic days of G1 and myself and my much better half play in rock and metal bands. Thank you for the content good sir. Till All Are Bum.
You were close. Hyperdrive is the blue one, then there's Detour (yellow), Road Hugger (purple), and Blackjack (self-explanatory). Also, is that Riker on one of the boxes in the background?
It bites that TF conventions can be near me, like bus dive away. This kind of places would be my TF heaven. Other then that, you get quite the haul from TFNation, Thew.
Pretty sure that Glyph is from Impossible Toys' MiniCar line, since I got their Goldbug at my own con last weekend. My initial reaction to it was that it's a bit crap, but it's started to warm up on me, while my opinion of the MP Grimlock I also got has been going down, curiously.
"Convention Crud" I feel ya man. Went to a convention last Saturday and I've had a nasty headcold ever since. Started with a building sore throat over the course of the next day, developed nasty congestion, fever and a headache over the next couple days. Worst of it's passed, but I'm still a bit congested with a nasty cough. Hope you're feeling better!
That's the Micromaster Sports Car Patrol. They tricked Ratchet into working for Megatron in the Marvel comics, the Pretender Starscream story arc. The black and gold one is Blackjack, who was redone in Combiner Wars as the car drone chestplate of Menasor.
I actually love those little static figures from that blind bag you got (Having a braindead moment and can't remember the proper name). I use them in my D&D games as armored knights or large metal golums/constructs.
22:15 In case no one else has said this already (I've scrolled through 3 pages and nothing) the red GoBot is - as Thew surmised - a combiner. 6 monster bad guys combine into Monsterous. It's a super cool figure IMO.
You might have to start doing what Terry Pratchett used to do at conventions. When he put a certain hat on he became just an average convention goer and people knew to give him space. A great idea!
Hello Carbot is by Sonokong, who once acted as Takara-Tomys intermediary in South Korea. The toys seem a bit like a modern-era Brave toyline might be like, especially in the combining sets.
Excellent haul,man. I too love me some Go Bots. Yea we need to see your bio on your figure dude.Also,its good to hear that the Maas toys are good. That blue version looks the best.
Thew was that motorbike gobot from a (stall) guy selling a G2 Release inbox inferno? I may have touched the same exact bike from Manchester comic con :D
Big thumbs up for this video because of the oversized Megatron figure and Thew's very own action figure. Only a matter of time before he got the action figure treatment like Emgo and Sean Long did. Who's next? Optibotimus? Epic Voice Guy? Can't wait until they get their own figures, too.
It's cool to see a convention from another side! It's very reaffirming to see the TF community has such good heart. Also is that a sneaky Dirt Boss figure I see in the background there?
I've got a Cybertron Megatron, and I have to say, it's one of the most badass TF toys ever made. It's like an evil Batmobile that transformers into Satan, with some G1 Galvatron and Armada Unicron references thrown in for good measure. What could be cooler than that? I've got the Happy Meal toys to. They're... well, they're something aren't they?
man, that Goldran figure, so shiny that it's tempting my soul to hunt for one in mint condition, probably better off finding it in some toy store that sells vintage stuff in Japan or something.
I'm terribly sorry I didn't get the chance to properly talk to you during the weekend, but as ever Thew it was lovely to finally get the chance to see you again. Plus I enjoyed your panel :D
Ahh so this was when you got Coolsville. When I was first going through your videos a couple of months back it kept getting brought up with some measure of disdain. I went searching for videos showing it being transformed and they're all like 30 odd minutes long and most of that is them fighting with the figure or forgetting how to make it work.
20:55 I honestly can't hear "SH Figure Arts Godzilla" without also invoking an asian batman. In swivel we trust.
SWIVELS!!!!!(God bless jobby)
SWIVEL HEAR!!!!!!
Swivel
Not to mention the TF community has the greatest wiki of all time.
And then there's the wikiA that blatantly copies and pastes information from tfwiki.
Danial Shamshuddin
Yeah,but let's be honest,everything that gets really big has one of THOSE wikis.
CookieMastah
Yeah. My knowledge of the franchise has legit increased about 569% in the last couple of months because of that.
Godzilla 123 all so very true I remember my first time in botcon and everyone was so cool
I swear that there's no single time where I go there to read a bio of one obscure Transformer, and then 3 hours later I find myself reading the bio of Michiyamenotehi Funana.
How come the Thew action figure doesn't have light piping?
Chef Excellence
To be fair,humans typically don't have eyes that can light up.
Hopefully the Takara version will fix that.
OmegaRattrap papi jobby?
Glasses&Mouthplates
Maybe.But I really feel this figure was just released to keep the fans happy until Titans Return Thewtress Mathewmus drops.
_An excellent point._
Please show off more of that custom action figure of your self. I would love to see what your bio is on the back of the card.
18:07 And Diamondbolt screams at the top of his lungs :P
I just realized thew's beard looks like bulkhead's jaw
Can't unsee
He needed that!
Prime or animated
Either, he looks pretty similar in both. Mainly animated.
I just noticed
Man, it's so great seeing you so happy all the time. Especially after a con. It always brightens my day.
Oh god, that Thew figure. I laughed out loud when I saw that.
22:26 the gobot is Heart Attack or something...combines to form the rather fantastical pan daemonic, DEVIL SATAN SIX!
Say, is that the original Machine Robo name? I'm so ashamed that I think I need to have a black mark put on my nerd card or something...but I only know it by its GoBots name, Monsterous.
Fun fact on the little black car micromaster thats actually the origin of combiner wars blackjack
The figure that was originally meant to be based on Runabout.
Andrew just looks like the next evolution of Thew and I love it.
The Galvatron is actually an upscaled KO of the DX9 War in Pocket Tyrant.
16:37 That big blue car that Jeremy gave you is Hello Carbot Grandeur Hawk he's a 1:23 scale model of a licenced Hyundai Gandeur from season 1 of the Show, only a handful of Western people have reviewed this toy me and Benscollectables included, with your backlog I doubt you'll ever get around to reviewing it... also Toyworld Coolsville nails the G1 toy aesthetic in both modes but it's an absolute nightmare to transform... 😖
I love how you can just feel great watching your videos. Glad you had another amazing time!!
20:02 Yay, candy from my homecountry
Yay for Kexchoklad! =)
14:17 omg.. I have not thought about that tankdude since I was like 5 years old. I need to find myself one of those.
Man TF nation sounds like a blast
Hope it can start up again next year maybe cuz I’d love to go now I’ve gotten back into the franchise!
10:00 those are still available. I saw them in the Hillsborough B&M last month!
Your Megatronia vid is probably one of the best reviews you've done. Production value and the pure enthusiasm are top notch. I need to find one now too!
As always, a pleasure seeing you again. I spent most of the weekend hiding in hotel rooms so I might need to push it out big style next year. Thanks for the words on RRCo.
I remember when I picked up my Cybertron Megs, I got him, ROTF Prime, and an in-package Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime, all from that one shop.
Holy cow, I have one of those 'Salvation in One' arm dudes. Twelve years and I now know what the darn thing is.
Everyone needs a thew action figure..... Needs a mini skywarp as an accessory
You know you made it in life when you have an action figure of yourself. thumbs up that Thew
Ive got the Rook and the Streetwise knock off's such feckin greatness... love it
Gasp! '90s Stalker! What a great toy.. you have to review it!
I still remember his motto; "Hate till it hurts.. then hate some more."
Great haul Thew, you are certainly loved and appreciated by everyone in the Transformers community for your contribution to the fandom. Really gutted I didn't get to chat with you and hang out. I can't help but smile and laugh with you on your videos, so naturally hilarious
I need that TF Animated book. I really hope one finds its way onto eBay in the near future.
That custom figure is amazing, lucky boy. Wish I could have been there
cool pic of my Nova Prime costume. think I remember you taking it. thanks.
Massive love and hugs, Thewnicron. I'll hopefully make it to a future TFNation with the family for fun times, see you there ;)
TFNation this year was a blast. First time going and returning next year in full force. Been a pleasure meeting you, even if you were a bit wrecked. Take care lad!
Hahahaha, an amazing haul. Would love to attend a TF con sometime in my life.

That Lois impression is SPOT ON!!!
Great to see you mate!

So envious of that Stalker, Blitzwing and Octane! Just so you know chief, those Micromasters are a complete team. Deception sports car patrol. ☺️
It bites that TF conventions can be near me, like bus dive away. This kind of places would be my TF heaven. Other then that, you get quite the haul from TFNation, Thew.

"Convention Crud"

Worst of it's passed, but I'm still a bit congested with a nasty cough. Hope you're feeling better!
Hi mate, Jeremy here. TFNation has been a blast this year and it was so great meeting you there. That is one hell of a haul you got there!
That's the Micromaster Sports Car Patrol. They tricked Ratchet into working for Megatron in the Marvel comics, the Pretender Starscream story arc. The black and gold one is Blackjack, who was redone in Combiner Wars as the car drone chestplate of Menasor.
The "Salvation In One" thing is a KO of the Police Robo set from "Machine Robo Rescue", so Thew was almost there.
Hot Toys Thew, please.
Quantum Surge Make Legends Skywarp an accessory!!!
I actually love those little static figures from that blind bag you got (Having a braindead moment and can't remember the proper name). I use them in my D&D games as armored knights or large metal golums/constructs.
Blue Bumblebee?
Bluemblebee!
Bumbleblue
Bumbluebee
Bluemblueblue
No way there's a Thew figure...
*update:* No friggin' way...
22:15 In case no one else has said this already (I've scrolled through 3 pages and nothing) the red GoBot is - as Thew surmised - a combiner. 6 monster bad guys combine into Monsterous. It's a super cool figure IMO.
I would kill for a Thew Adams figure.
You know you've made it when someone walks upto you and gives you your own action figure
You might have to start doing what Terry Pratchett used to do at conventions. When he put a certain hat on he became just an average convention goer and people knew to give him space. A great idea!
Hello Carbot is by Sonokong, who once acted as Takara-Tomys intermediary in South Korea.

Excellent haul,man. I too love me some Go Bots. Yea we need to see your bio on your figure dude.Also,its good to hear that the Maas toys are good. That blue version looks the best.
"Good ol'time with my chums"
This is the reason you go to cons. Well, that and buying exclusives.
18:20
I think those are knockoff versions of some Diarobo toys, tiny robos based on licensed cars, there's even a T-rex that turns into an ambulance
I found the Takara version of Cybertron Megatron at The Space Bridge at this year's TFNation. What a coincidence!
You've got to review that Cybertron Megatron dude.
You got your wish!
It was great seeing you there Thew! The queue for your panel was absolutely as mental as you said, shame I couldn't get in ;__;
You're welcome mate, and you're right, this community is awesome :)
Thew was that motorbike gobot from a (stall) guy selling a G2 Release inbox inferno? I may have touched the same exact bike from Manchester comic con :D
Big thumbs up for this video because of the oversized Megatron figure and Thew's very own action figure. Only a matter of time before he got the action figure treatment like Emgo and Sean Long did. Who's next? Optibotimus? Epic Voice Guy? Can't wait until they get their own figures, too.
You got a Tiny Titans G1 Optimus Prime figurine from that blind bag. Tiny Titans blind bag figurines are like tiny rubbery statues.
Great video thew!
Kexchoklad is probably one of the most popular candy/chocolatewhatevers in sweden. Fun to see it
23:53 ... are you going to play with yourself Thew? :)
i remember having a salvation in one, i think,but it broke so i threw it away,ages ago
Please review Snow Cat! He's my favourite Energon figure.
23:01 I own that mini-figure, it's a neat little display piece.
That Energon or what Megatron which turns into a car is so cool! I saw it in person once and really want it, just it's damned expensive!
Is that a 1990s Star Trek: The Next Gereation Commander Riker figure I see on your shelves?
omg I see it.make it so
It's cool to see a convention from another side! It's very reaffirming to see the TF community has such good heart.
Also is that a sneaky Dirt Boss figure I see in the background there?
I've got a Cybertron Megatron, and I have to say, it's one of the most badass TF toys ever made. It's like an evil Batmobile that transformers into Satan, with some G1 Galvatron and Armada Unicron references thrown in for good measure. What could be cooler than that?
I've got the Happy Meal toys to. They're... well, they're something aren't they?
RID Stormshot kinda looks like Dogfight, don't you think? With the striped wings and the colour scheme...
man, that Goldran figure, so shiny that it's tempting my soul to hunt for one in mint condition, probably better off finding it in some toy store that sells vintage stuff in Japan or something.
Very nice, man. Hope you feel better. And when you do, time for another 10 shots 10 KO's bit. lol.
Well, now I know that , that little police car I have had for most of my life is from a thing called "Brave." yay. lol
It's nice to get a mention as that really pale guy. I am really pale so you are accurate
What kind of sketch did you get again? (18:00)
The artwork on the cover looked pretty cool.
I'm terribly sorry I didn't get the chance to properly talk to you during the weekend, but as ever Thew it was lovely to finally get the chance to see you again. Plus I enjoyed your panel :D
Thew Builds with the upgrade kit potentially in the future?
I briefly said hi a few times dude but like you I was on it all weekend and just can't wait till next year!
I want that Optimus....as if you would send it all that way, haha.
I hope to see Atax and Thew-ction FIgure on toygrind!
Can you review all the things you got?
Oh god, hello carbot? I saw that when I was in Korea. The show looked like 3D rescue bots.
My dream was always to visit a BotCon some day, but since that's clearly not possible anymore, I might adjust that dream to visit TFNation instead.
Hey you can find those letter bots at the Lakeshore learning store! I didn't even now people liked em lol
Iron Factory hasn't made a Galvatron yet. Is that a knock off from the FUTURE?!?!
It's actually a KO of Tyrant, from DX9's "War in Pocket" line, the other prominent series of 3P Legends-scale toys.
'I'll pop that out later and make friends with it' ok then.....
Ahh so this was when you got Coolsville. When I was first going through your videos a couple of months back it kept getting brought up with some measure of disdain. I went searching for videos showing it being transformed and they're all like 30 odd minutes long and most of that is them fighting with the figure or forgetting how to make it work.
the black and gold mricomaster is black jack i have him as well
That is MogeGoji from the films Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla(1994) and Godzilla vs Destoroyah(1995)
Skywarp wants a beatdown and so do i
11:31 is that a headmaster Galvatron?
Holy shit, I wanna know what the bio says on the back of the Thew box! :D
that godzilla is the Final Wars version! i know i have that figure too! lol
I believe the Ultra Magnus with no paint or glass is the Canadian release.
