Watching reviews of these old Botcon toys as the weather gets warmer fills me with tons of nostalgia. And now that I’m a grown ass man and not a broke high school freshman like I was when this boxset came out, I think I might hunt some of these figures down.
The Thunderclash head sculpt reminds me of the head design of Gundam Maxter From G Gundam series not only in its color but its overall football-helmet shape. Thanks for the comprehensive and complete review. I look forward to watching all your new reviews. A+ effort successfully executed.
"Chromia McThunderblast the loli boat!" That made me lol. I have to say, you do some very nice videos Mr. Vangelus. I'd kill for a sitcom between you and a fellow Transfan reviewer!
Telling anyone that instead of something, they should be looking at ROTF Chromia, especially a little girl and her mom, is just cruel. No matter how much the first thing they were looking at cost.
21:05 since "Ask Alvarez" is the most unhelpful bit of advice anyone can offer to someone watching this years after the fact: In 1975, Saturday Night Live aired a sketch titled "Jaws II" which parodied both the movie Jaws itself and the general paranoia about shark attacks that rose in its wake. One of the main running gags of the sketch was the presence of a "land shark" that could speak in perfect english and would knock on people's doors and attempt to trick them into letting it in. The land shark itself was portrayed by, you guessed it, Chevy Chase.
Razorclaw and Elita were anniversary of Botcon exclusives, not so much in the theme ones Really though, what other characters COULD have they done? Aside from Cryotek, who would have been the most awesome thing ever I think the only other possible choices were random Shattered Glass guys (Soundwave, Ratchet, Thundercracker and Wheeljack probably being the most popular of them) or a few of the pre-BWs from Theft of the Golden Disk

The Cybertron version of Red Alert makes a good retool of Kup, even if he doesn't have the proper vehicle mode.
very nice review!!!!!
I first watched all the parts, and today the ''long version''
keep the comingggggg
greetzz from the netherlands
50 minutes of awsome man I want scourge and the sweeps
all hail Vangelus for mentioning the UK which I live in and respect him highly for.
Uk tf bois
Vangelus's smessed up mind at work
@ShiyojinRommyu You sir just won the internets. And possibly my heart.
Last thing if they did that classics set of stunticons we could have put 2 combiner commanders combined
There's something up with it- I've noticed that if you click HQ off then on again, it bumps the picture size up to the HD one.
This review was extremely long...but awesome... Especially the last part!
Function: TOUGH GUY! Man, that's AWESOME!!!!

You exxagerate.
10 years ago... holy shit
Vange1us are you gunna do something like this for the 2010 BotCon exclusives? cuz I can't find good, high quality reviews any were.
Megatron: I'm sorry Razorclaw but it's just not working here... I'm afraid we're gonna have to let you go....
i loved that galvatron when i had it
Landshark's colours and alternate mode kinda remind me of RID Tow-Line somehow...
if you transform thunderclash's legs by pulling them up he looks like sky lynx. keep his feet the same truck way but pull the legs up.
Both Flak and Landshark sound more like they would fit in with The Wreckers because of their look
Geat review mate! (Loved the ending ;) )
For me, Banzzaitron is the winner! At last he can transform and he looks awesome!
The subtiles forgot to mention that gloves don't go in hands it's the other way around
I like the long review. its my own opinion :)
I like Landshark the best but after seeing how fragile he is I will probably go for the Energon version.
I did my notes. wheres the quiz?
Yay, he said the Red Alert recolor that I have is superior! Nothing big, but hey.
Cybertron Defense Red Alert should have been retooled into Stalker...
Tried looking for Scourge and the sweeps Sooo Expensive. I just can't afford them. : (
Landshark has an animated Bulkhead feel than leader feel
18:44
Hear me out right. Thunderclash??? In this set, he's more like...*BLUNDER*Clash HAHAHAHAHA
do you love the brute pack?
Flak = $55 on Crave, not that much of a ludicrous aftermarket price. Darksyde Megatron = $899 on Crave, now THAT'S a ludicrous aftermarket price!
How are you allowed to vids longer than ten mins!!!!! I filmed a review that was too long so i had to reshoot the whole thing!!!
look, elita 1 has a matrix aswell
You should make an epic vange1us movie, seriously, it could work.

so you think that ponytails are feral
2 Girls 1 Kup.

Krylon Predecessor
You know, Elita-1 would stand much better if you completede the transformation, moved the backback down.
that was one long video
A lot
50 min video.... shocking
WHAT THE F***!!!! 49:49-50:09
First you say Flak has a generic head-sculpt, then you say it's unique
iirc the use of 'unique' is because it was a headsculpt found only on this figure
'generic' being the aesthetic style to my eyes
Very well...
