Just saw the film, basically what I wanted out of a TF film since I was 5. Just a story where theres no humans, all on cybertron, and the characters just being themselves in a heartfelt story.
As soon as Thew described the Quintesson as a 'plant monster', I had a thought - with a new head and new hands that mold would make a pretty good Botanica. I'm sure I'm not the first person to realize that, and I have no idea how the rights for the molds of movie tie-in toys work, but who knows. If nothing else somebody's bound to make custom one
Alpha Trion was one of my favorite things about the film. He was just so cool. His entire vibe was the pinnacle of MacGuffin exposition for me. His little fight scene was also just so cool.
Just saw the movie last night with the Missus; and even with her basic knowledge of Transformers [and my input] she enjoyed the movie more than I thought she would. 10/10 movie.
Those mega changers are dollar store reissues. I remember them being $10. I was curious to see what balls Hasbro would have with pricing. $15 so not too brazen and it seems the plastic is sturdier and paint has been improved.
ooh you got a prime changer orion pax!! he's only a little guy but he's just such a cute little bugger. my only problem is that he has a faceplate instead of a pax face but other than that he's so good
@@Boomtron-jv9uv I just rewatched the race preview clip and Mirage’s name is listed as one of the participants of the race, right at the top of the list. So he’s for sure there. And since that means he can transform, I doubt he’s a miner.
Cheers Thew, great vid. Just really love your enthusiasm, love of transformers and in particular your appreciation and joy in toys - case in point your genuine joy and cackling at power flip optimus prime, compared to your response to the 'collector focused premium' robosen optimus prime a while back😂
a SU mention in a transformers video is not something i expected, but im sure glad to see one of my hyperfixations get menioned in a video about another one
As a personal point, I refuse to associate myself with blatantly hollow figures. I never want to find myself within 50 feet of that Starscream or Megatron. I know they do it to save on material, but it just looks so damn jank. Thats been my biggest beef with Transformers over the last several years. They could at least have TRIED make it look like he has whole legs.
It might just be me but beast mode for alpha trion looks alot like that beast wars transmetal II maybe beast machines lion that got repainted for botcon one year to be alpha trion. I can't think of the toys name but I can't be the only beast wars fan that can see that right?
I was gonna wait a bit to see the movie actually, but then there's a 3D showing and as a big 3D fan (there are dozens of us!) I just can't not go *today*…
"Mirage ain't even in it" oddly he was and wasn't in the movie. That blue racer with that mirage looking head did show up... but was called a different name. (Chromia) Seeing the toy is called Mirage confirms my theory that's who it was meant to be. Idk why they changed the name. Not that it really matters. It's a "blink and you'll miss it" type cameo.
I've seen the toy line and I'm just not wow 'ed. I don't see anything from this line making it into my collection. I saw the movie and Chris Hemsworth's voice just kept taking me out of the movie. I'm sure many others will fawn over this movie, but like Bayvers, I'm going to ignore it happened.
'Show me your Cog' and 'Nice Cog' will be now used to the fullest in every convo I may have.
Bah haas. That line got me giggling to myself at my desk
HEY PETERTRON. nice cog.
We should add ‘space-whatever’ to the list of recognised fan terminology right alongside Kibble

@@danimationsx9435 I LOVED it.

@@_V.Va_ if you say so
With all the Prime toys you could do a themed "Optober" for October
"What in the mars converters is this?" Lmao! Thank you, Thew.
Aw man you had the opportunity to call this part 2 "Transformers: One shall fall" to match perfectly with part 1
Thought about it but I think it would send the wrong message haha
Bumblebee's alt mode always reminds me of the vans in the original Judge Dredd movie.
Well,
Since the Transformers are technically "Honorary British", makes sense to pull inspiration from your fellow Countrymen.
I am so glad you had the same reaction I did to the Power Flip Optimus. It’s not perfect, but holy hell it’s such a fun toy.
As soon as Thew described the Quintesson as a 'plant monster', I had a thought - with a new head and new hands that mold would make a pretty good Botanica.

Would love some Botanica representation after all these years!
Ultimate Flip OP looks well neat. I do find myself really missing the silly gimmicks in Transformers so genuinely pretty tempted to grab one.
"Convert, and.. let's gooo!" is hysterical. 😂🤣👍
The Quintesson looks kinda like a Guyver character from the anime. 😂
Mirage was in the movie he was just invisible
The Quintesson figure reminds me of The Guyver. Anyone remember The Guyver?
WOOOO!!!!
THEW!!!!!!
PART TWOOOOOO!!!!!
😂
PART THEEEEEEWWW
“Anti hero Angel wings” Azrael from DC
Alpha Trion was one of my favorite things about the film. He was just so cool. His entire vibe was the pinnacle of MacGuffin exposition for me. His little fight scene was also just so cool.
It's weird how wheeljack got this one step changer and a blockees toy even though he has literally 2 lines:
"I found a vein!" And
"Uh-oh."
Power Flip is an excellent big, goofy gimmick toy.
5:16 THE LINKIN PARK REFERENCE!!!!!! THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Appreciate you actually unboxing and showing us the toys.. YOU DA MAN!
Can't wait to see the movie!
19:25 the Optimus is actually a remold of an age of extinction Optimus toy
I'm hoping we get a sequel. A genuinely enjoyable film and it felt like the people who made it actually like transformers unlike bay
I kind of really want Ultimate Flip Optimus Prime lol that was great
Those Megatron figures look like him from Cyberverse
I can see that.
I got to watch the film! I've never felt more seen as a fan before.
Just saw the movie last night with the Missus; and even with her basic knowledge of Transformers [and my input] she enjoyed the movie more than I thought she would. 10/10 movie.
I like how the Quintessons alt mode is a mixture the aliens from Gunbuster and a bad dragon d!ldo lmao 🤣
I saw the fun yesterday and it was absolutely incredible. Big highly recommended
3:58 Alpha Trion is really cool looking.
I love how the Quintessons resemble the Blob faction from the Star Realms deckbuilding game.
Nice to come full circle on this special unboxing.
The "mainline" figures are called Prime Changers. I love the metallic plastic they all have.
God I forgot about this dude. I was watching you like 10 years ago!! ❤❤❤
Those mega changers are dollar store reissues. I remember them being $10. I was curious to see what balls Hasbro would have with pricing. $15 so not too brazen and it seems the plastic is sturdier and paint has been improved.
Mega-Changer Bumblebee looks like the biggest Micromaster ever
These videos are starting to be my favorite thing to watch, get done after a shift of work, and veg out with abit of reviews.
Now, THIS is the 1st ever transforming Quintesson I've senn other than their minions from the 90s (Sharkticons/Gatorcons).
Ngl this toyline has really surprised me in a good way
I like how we just get a straight up F-15 star scream and not the cybertronian form he is in
That Quintesson alt mode is very Wraith Dart
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Animated, be it cartoon or CG, is exactly how the Transformers needs to be displayed.
Thew with the timely Game Grumps Shadow The Hedgehog references
Saw the movie today. It blew away all expectations
Same! Favorite part?
@@Boomtron-jv9uv I think the finale. The movie kept building and building until an epic final act
@@michaellombardi1620 that is VERY fair. I loved when D-16 dropped Orion Pax. "I'm done saving you." It gave me CHILLS.
ooh you got a prime changer orion pax!! he's only a little guy but he's just such a cute little bugger. my only problem is that he has a faceplate instead of a pax face but other than that he's so good
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH THEW TIME!!!!!!!
Happy to see the Bumblebeans Sequel.
"which animated movie you wanna see rn?"
"the transformers one"
brilliant XD
17:28 It just a rerelease of 2015 RID one step changer blur
Just saw the film. Absolutely loved it.
the big bumblebee reminds me of the batman car in batman the animated series
Movie was great.
And uhhh...
Wasn't expecting Megatron to kill Sentinel, especially so brutally. In a Jazz way.
It’s not Transformers without Robot Gore
Wheeljack is in the movie. I think he has one line but it goes by so quickly I can’t blame anyone for missing it.
I’m pretty sure Mirage was in it too. He’s a part of the race shown in trailers/previews.
@@JasterBlaster it was weird to hear him without the accent.
@@JasterBlaster he was, but not in the race scene I dont think. I thought I saw him in the mines.
@@Boomtron-jv9uv I just rewatched the race preview clip and Mirage’s name is listed as one of the participants of the race, right at the top of the list. So he’s for sure there. And since that means he can transform, I doubt he’s a miner.
@@JasterBlaster huh. Maybe that miner was another character then.
that "very obviously TF One Optimus" from the onestep three pack is actually heavily based on a TLK turbo changer one step optimus!
Cheers Thew, great vid. Just really love your enthusiasm, love of transformers and in particular your appreciation and joy in toys - case in point your genuine joy and cackling at power flip optimus prime, compared to your response to the 'collector focused premium' robosen optimus prime a while back😂
I've never been this early on a Thew video haha. Cheers from the Philippines! Til all are one!!
Loved the video! The gear looks fun
a SU mention in a transformers video is not something i expected, but im sure glad to see one of my hyperfixations get menioned in a video about another one

There are Prime Changers and Studio Changers that are good quality. I wish there were core class versions of the cast tho. Really like that size.
It might just be me but beast mode for alpha trion looks alot like that beast wars transmetal II maybe beast machines lion that got repainted for botcon one year to be alpha trion. I can't think of the toys name but I can't be the only beast wars fan that can see that right?
I was gonna wait a bit to see the movie actually, but then there's a 3D showing and as a big 3D fan (there are dozens of us!) I just can't not go *today*…
I have a young son...this is great. I hope Hasbron is watching!!
just call it unibeast
That's it... I'm calling things CHUNGUS for the rest of my life 😂
Wasn't there a Cyberverse Alpha Trion toy?
oh yeah, there was. Forgot about that one; pretty underrated and quite cool.
I hope you do a Double Review or a Verses Review with the two Deluxe Optimus' you plan to do in the future
I wish the quintesson turned into a mini version of the mothership
Starscream: Leeeeeeeeeeeeeggggggggsss
Can you remember the days Thew when boxes HAD to be opened asap ? I guess with the amount you receive now those days are long gone
yep, things sure have progressed 😁
16:41 the first time I saw the design I just clocked the colors and the wings and said deathsaurus
I wonder if the qunetesans alt modes was the insperation for the Nemesis.
Great video Thew!
Can't wait to see the movie!
I spotted wheeljack at least twice.
I saw Wheeljack in the background of one of the earlier shots, yeah.
Thew, you had the tank cannon for Megatron's alt mode on the wrong way.
"Mirage ain't even in it" oddly he was and wasn't in the movie. That blue racer with that mirage looking head did show up... but was called a different name. (Chromia)
Seeing the toy is called Mirage confirms my theory that's who it was meant to be. Idk why they changed the name. Not that it really matters. It's a "blink and you'll miss it" type cameo.
I hope Nonnef or somebody redoes Alpha Trion's tail as a whip or something more appealing than that lightning bolt thing.
I saw the film too. Probably the best film so far, but it was a bit slow to begin with
fucking "cog" of conversion killed me
It's sucks. We still have to wait 2 weeks in the uk.
Along with the upcoming Optimus Prime review/s you'll be doing, will you be doing a ' Studio Series Transformers One: 'Monthly' Megatron!!!!!!'
Its four AM but its worth it💪
5:50 transformers Cyberverse
@14:05 Quintesson alt mode looks like a Skeksis ship
You saying he feels like a TFP figure is fitting considering what melody plays when the gang finds the remains of the Primes...
"...the good bits of Bayverse..." sorry, Thew, I must have blinked during those bits.
@@lampy5490 Shut.
How long before we see those Mega Changers with beans in them?
Thew is the main man
The war!!
The wurrgghh
It's not Bumblebee. It's Badassatron.
1:28 that one was straight up from titan class Metroplex
SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE
Who wants to talk about it? Favorite parts? Favorite references? Favorite music theme? Talk to me!
Megatron pulling a Jazz on Sentinel.
@@_V.Va_ THAT SCENE!!!! "I'm done saving you."
Bumblebee recognizing Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave
Good ol' Wheeljack touching something (mine) and it proceeding to blow up. lol
Classic Jackie moment!!
Hope you'll have a good day
Wow.
Why does the Quintesson leader look like marvel comic liege maximo???
Thew! I need to know what is your favourite gundam!? (I think I remember you like Wing Zero but not 100% sure) Got a project in mind!
Not many independent UK toy reviewers left. Blokees next week?
Loved the movie, but i will pass on the toys. 🧸 🤖
How? I'm going bankrupt.
@@Boomtron-jv9uvNot everyone's financially dumb.
I've seen the toy line and I'm just not wow 'ed. I don't see anything from this line making it into my collection. I saw the movie and Chris Hemsworth's voice just kept taking me out of the movie. I'm sure many others will fawn over this movie, but like Bayvers, I'm going to ignore it happened.
