one of my favorite thing to see is when Thew just holds something up, looks at it, processes what it is, and just starts chuckling to himself. such a good vibe.
It's actually the Select Convertors version of Beet-Gadol/Barrage mold called Crawler. Beet-Gadol (the Beetras verison) was black and had slightly different detailing and the Convertors version has much lower quality plastic and no metal parts. The GPS one is Morphus, the Select Convertors version of Beet-Vadam/Ransack.
Woooo! Happy to see my custom finally arrived! 😁👍🏼 BTW, you can totally tilt the wings back for a more natural look. I had to tilt them forward to fit in the package, lol. Glad you enjoyed it man!
I felt secondhand excitement when the Road Caesar bits showed up. I saw the Motorvators review a while ago, and I was randomly wondering if you ever got the bits. Glad to see you finally have a completed Road Caesar in your collection! Also, I think that tiny Macross Valkyrie was a Select Convertor. I vaguely remember seeing that from toy stores as a kid. Love your content. Keep up the good work!
That Road Ceasar repro box was magical. I always love seeing people's eyes light up seeing something they were looking for for years. Also, the Skywarp-palette nail polish is fucking choice.
Roadceaser (the combine that got thew excited) would be a cool thing to have in legacy like gripper is a leader and the other 2 are maybe voyagers/deluxes and it would be a cool 3 bot combiner if it ever happens
I'd be down for the Motorvators being a thing. a simple 3-bot combiner with some extra bits to spruce him up something nice. Maybe a Leader and 2 Deluxe?
The way you can just transform things you've never encountered before is great. I guess it's a skill developed over time by many a TF fan. I'm always a bit scared to try despite having been in this thing since the start. Having said that, there are times I'll just see random manufactured items out and about and start to see how they _could_ transform. I bet I'm not the only one afflicted with this perceptual state.
I just remembered something from my childhood. I had a knockoff deluxe insecticon just like the blue beetle one as a kid. I could never get it to transform correctly because it didn't come with instructions and it was definitely missing key joints.
The mini-con police car is named Armstrong. I got it as part of the Classics line in the 3-pack Night Rescue Team. First ever Mini-cons I ever got, and I still have a go at them today!
Second figure is a toy from "Exo-Squad". An animated space opera with with alot political stuff about equality and war, from the early to mid 90s That figure I beleived belongs the space pirate leader. It was released in the latter end of the franchise run where they were making suits for obscure characters that appeared in the show(suit an character), as well gimmick retools that weren't in the show.
Oh man... Massive nostalgia boner from the mech suit. Captain Jonas Simbaca, leader of the pirate clans from ExoSquad. Easily one of the best stories any animated show ever cranked out, but it was never finished. It ended on a huge cliffhanger that, nearly 30 years later, STILL has me salty as hell.
The blue beetle seems like a Barrage bootleg. Barrage is the Rhino Beetle, Chop Shop is the Stag Beetle, Ransack is the Locust and Venom is the Cicada.
My gosh, every time i think "sheesh... perhaps i should quit to collect transformers, i cant afford them... my country its so complicated for this..." Thew release a super happy video with a Road Cesar moment and he with a lot of joy completing it and my mind goes like "DUDE I LOVE TRANSFORMERS!" Thanks Thew
The white mech suit with the geezer inside is Exosquad! You definitely want to give it a go, it was one of the first American cartoons to try to do the long-form story thing in an anime-like way. It cribs a lot from Macross and Yamato, but in a good way. Kinda like how Stranger Things didn't do a lot of original stuff at first but did what it did well.
Can i just say i love how much you are amazed by the things that your fans send you. I wish i had anything to send out. Instead i will send out my cheers online!
Oh! 7:25 I get casually name dropped, how nice :) Glad that Prowl makes you happy, and that the ageing plastic that broke could be replaced. Miss you my d00d!
I used to have that gold KO of Ransack and it ended up in about as many pieces too. Loved the sheer glee at the Rad Caesar parts. Also digging the nails!
@24:00 that black gun is from Ransack. (Too many comments to search if it had already been answered). I loved the Deluxe insecticons. They were among my very first Transformers as a kid, I had Chop Shop, Barrage and Ransack. Never had Venom sadly. Great video as always! Thanks!
The Mobile Suit at 25:04 is the GM Cannon II, so the Guncannon wasn't too far off. It's a "descendant" meant for limited production while also incorporating advancements from the NT-1 Alex Gundam, and a partner unit to the GM Custom. GM in all these instances is pronounced "Jim."
Absolutely excited that you repaired your G1 Soundwave, hearing your story of it from way back when and seeing you managed to fix it now is really great.
4:20 Dude that is an exosuit from Exosquad! Mid 90's Kenner I think. Must be rare, because it was a short line and that guy was not on the back of any box I ever saw.
25:02 That is the GM Cannon II from Stardust Memory. Basically they took a GM Custom, covered it in Tank Armor, and then gave it a couple of big fuckoff cannons and called it a night.
The minicon is Strongarm from the night rescue team. He's a bugger to transform until you learn the trick to it. Cool little figure though. Fun fact: There's a yellow taxi version of him called.... Get this.... Overcharge! 😂
Oh shit, never thought I'd see Tobots on this channel, that black and gold classical car guy is like a mini simplified version of a larger toy that is the same guy what turns into a car
I believe the mech suit was from the show Exo Squad. I had some as a kid. Amazing toy line. The cartoon was by the same company that made the 90s X-Men cartoon.
I just got a haul as well consisted of the creatures collide pack the buzzworthy terrosaur and mpm blackout and some minor bankruptcy but still great figures and great video love the haul ones
Those TFNation showcase videos are some of my favourite recent trends (couple years is recent?) It's like a mega compilation of rapid-fire mini reviews and banter peppered in. Worth the edit crunch for lil old me!
Fun video! Thank you! Oooh, that first Art Deco Roadster-Bot looks bloody amazing! And thanks to tfrWLDNAS, I should have one of my own on the way, very soon. And that Super Couper is a great piece! You paying attention, Hasbro? More of those classy old-time alt-modes, please!
So glad to watch another vid from you, Thew! Today's probably the 5th anniversary that I've been watching your videos - I think I'll send you a note. I'm not sure I have any figures to send that you'd be interested in (or willing to give up). Also, I've never heard of Tobal No 1. That's Akira Toriyama art for sure, so I think I'll check it out when I've got time. Have fun at TFNation!!
that police car minicon is Strongarm, I only know this because he had a taxi repaint called Overcharge and that thing is endlessly funny to me. also the blue rid2015 minicon is Galcius
The guy in the robot shut is probably from Exo-Squad. It was a blink and you miss it cartoon and toy line from the 90's. The show and figures where pretty good. But I think it came out when the combo of Spiderman, X-Men and Batman cartoons had already taken over. It got 2 seasons but I don't think it was on major network tv for too long in the states. Can't say anything about the UK or other countries though. Weirdly enough I think some Japanese toy lines got folded into the line as time went on. I'm pretty sure Macross or Robotech figures where put into the line.
Ah yes, Final Fishing 15 Representation. Great game, 9/10. Also, Carmen Rider. Also also, 25:06, that's the RGC-83 GM Cannon II, sporting the chunky Chobham/Composite Armour.
First off nice nails love them the second remember in the b-list movie toys you talking about you I had a dream about a third Transformer named Extinction well I took that and ran with it and I think you'd like it
That weird looking black space gun is actually Ransacks (I own a complete vintage one myself =D) and the name of the deluxe insecticon that the blue one is a rip off of is Barrage. XD
Lmao the games, the Arnold voices....what is today doing to me...nostalgia is great....was at the outlet stores today and "Eddie Bauer" was just a natural Arnold voice word to say...it's pretty fun if you try...what a great episode!!! Love it
"3 years ago?.. That's almost 5 years ago" hahahahahahaha
There's something wonderful about legitimate Thew joy, whilst Unicron looms in the background, plotting.
one of my favorite thing to see is when Thew just holds something up, looks at it, processes what it is, and just starts chuckling to himself. such a good vibe.
Unicron represents the state of the world while Thew represents all of us fawning over plastic toys to distract ourselves
He’s just standing there..... *menacingly!*
@@optimistprime3192 *WEE WOO! WEE WOO!*
the white mech with the dude inside is an E-Frame from exo squad, specifically a pirate E-frame piloted by Jonas Symbaca the pirate leader!
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
God, I wish we could get some sort of collectors series Exo-Squad stuff. I'd buy a nicely made, posable high end e-frame or two.
@@LaBambaMan I'm not really a 6" collector, but it would be great to see a 6" scale J.T. Marsh w/ e-frame.
9:35 just the escalation of emotion on his face, from "oh" ok, to "Oh!" didn't expect that, "(gasp) can it be?!", and lastly, "AH! YES!"
That blue beetle is the original pre-G1 version of Barrage, from "Armoured Insect Battalion Beetras" by Bandai.
That's what I thought when Thew transformed it. So is the GPS one also the pre-G1 (Pre-1) version?
It's actually the Select Convertors version of Beet-Gadol/Barrage mold called Crawler. Beet-Gadol (the Beetras verison) was black and had slightly different detailing and the Convertors version has much lower quality plastic and no metal parts.

Woooo! Happy to see my custom finally arrived! 😁👍🏼 BTW, you can totally tilt the wings back for a more natural look. I had to tilt them forward to fit in the package, lol. Glad you enjoyed it man!
The pure unfettered joy exhibited by Thew when Sidewalk Vinagarette got their combiner jammies is probably an ingredient in the cure for cancer.
Video was basically
*"Arise, Road Caesar. Light our Darkest Hour!"*
I felt secondhand excitement when the Road Caesar bits showed up. I saw the Motorvators review a while ago, and I was randomly wondering if you ever got the bits. Glad to see you finally have a completed Road Caesar in your collection!
Also, I think that tiny Macross Valkyrie was a Select Convertor. I vaguely remember seeing that from toy stores as a kid.
Love your content. Keep up the good work!
Right? I’m not Euro (and 26 years younger), so I have no nostalgia but I absolutely knew when he said “Road Caesar” how much it meant.
The Motorvators review was actually the first Re-Thew I watched so I definitely share the sentiment lol
Man I genuinely feel better after watching these videos.
That Road Ceasar repro box was magical. I always love seeing people's eyes light up seeing something they were looking for for years.
Also, the Skywarp-palette nail polish is fucking choice.
That fist box was nuts! Glad to see you back Thew.
That intro never gets old.
Love you Thew, from the Philippines

Love the way you did your nails, they look fabulous
I just remembered something from my childhood. I had a knockoff deluxe insecticon just like the blue beetle one as a kid. I could never get it to transform correctly because it didn't come with instructions and it was definitely missing key joints.
If TFWiki is anything to go by, the ones with missing joints tend to be Polyfect's KOs. The ones often associaed with Big Lots.
The mini-con police car is named Armstrong. I got it as part of the Classics line in the 3-pack Night Rescue Team. First ever Mini-cons I ever got, and I still have a go at them today!
Close; his name is actually Strongarm.
Lol my brain reversed it haha
I loved the first-person dungeon exploring mode that turned into a 3rd-person 3d brawler for the fights in Tobal #1
Dude I swair that was the best arnald swartsinager impersonation I’ve ever heard
4:44 I think that battle mech thing is from a toyline called exo-squad! Toy galaxy did a video on it a while ago, and it looks pretty similar.
Yes. You were right. It's actually the leader of the pirate faction that later became the co-leader of the human forces in Exo Squad.

I haven't seen Thew this happy since he got that Super Gobot Cy-Kill in the mail.
The green and white Gundam with two cannons is an RGC-83 GM Cannon II, a very delightful and slightly obscure lad
Seeing Thew in just absolute childlike glee has made my day immediately great.
The Gundam series mech at 25:08 is an RGC83 GM Cannon II ;)
The white mech guy-thing is Exo Squad
The blue beetle seems like a Barrage bootleg.
Barrage is the Rhino Beetle, Chop Shop is the Stag Beetle, Ransack is the Locust and Venom is the Cicada.
4:58 & 8:36 I didn't expect you to get Rocket and Classic Mini version from Tobot V Series
My gosh, every time i think "sheesh... perhaps i should quit to collect transformers, i cant afford them... my country its so complicated for this..." Thew release a super happy video with a Road Cesar moment and he with a lot of joy completing it and my mind goes like "DUDE I LOVE TRANSFORMERS!"

Always good to see a toy get completed...and what a stunner! Love Road Caeser!
Thoroughly impressed and delighted that Thew was able to fix his childhood G1 Soundwave so that it functions properly once again. Well done Thew! 😊
The prophecy has come to pass.
Sidewalk Vinegrette: Balsamic Mode
Oh! 7:25 I get casually name dropped, how nice :) Glad that Prowl makes you happy, and that the ageing plastic that broke could be replaced. Miss you my d00d!

I'd take a GM over a Gundam any day haha
The minicon at 20:15 is Strong-arm from the Cybertron portion of the unicron trilogy :)
My favorite guy on TH-cam uploading on my birthday 🎉
Thank Thew very much! 🥳
Never knew we are of the same age. So glad that our generation was full of cool stuff.
8:47 those are Shuttle and Paragon from Tobot V, there's a big version and a small version, and these are the small ones
Absolutely excited that you repaired your G1 Soundwave, hearing your story of it from way back when and seeing you managed to fix it now is really great.
4:20 Dude that is an exosuit from Exosquad! Mid 90's Kenner I think. Must be rare, because it was a short line and that guy was not on the back of any box I ever saw.
I love your nails. They kind of got beast wars megatron colors
I just love your energy so much. It’s always a joy to watch you sit down and talk about robits and robutts for however long at a time.
The nails are 10/10 love them
25:02 That is the GM Cannon II from Stardust Memory. Basically they took a GM Custom, covered it in Tank Armor, and then gave it a couple of big fuckoff cannons and called it a night.

Absolutely love the nails
I just painted my a simple dark green nothing special
Keep being thew and always enjoy yourself
it wasn't until I saw the skywarp colors on your nails that I realized he's Ace Flag colored. What an icon.
Hearing Thew talk about Parappa was absolutely incredible and my day is better because of it
Still one of my favorite Thew moments in this vid. Even after all this time.
technology has advanced so far that somebody just 3D printed an accurate replica of G1 toy parts in their home.
Mech suit is the Pirate Captain E-frame from exo squad! I loved that series!
I believe the mech suit was from the show Exo Squad. I had some as a kid. Amazing toy line. The cartoon was by the same company that made the 90s X-Men cartoon.
The geezer in the mech suit is Jonas Simbacca, leader of the space pirates from Exo Squad
I just got a haul as well consisted of the creatures collide pack the buzzworthy terrosaur and mpm blackout and some minor bankruptcy but still great figures and great video love the haul ones
Super cool that you used the broken Soundwave to repair your old one.
That black gun you asked about belongs to Ransack. He came with that and a tiny, yellow shield.
That cop minicon came with the TF Cybertron Primus I believe. I still have him kicking about somewhere.
Where the flip does anyone find a Tobal No.1 mug? That's amazing.
Looks like an Exo-squad that 2nd figure as my brother owned those figures when they came out.
Those TFNation showcase videos are some of my favourite recent trends (couple years is recent?) It's like a mega compilation of rapid-fire mini reviews and banter peppered in. Worth the edit crunch for lil old me!
20:20 I was looking to get that guy! He’s a cybertron figure that was apart of a rescue patrol triple pack with other rescue vehicles.
Fun video! Thank you!
Oooh, that first Art Deco Roadster-Bot looks bloody amazing! And thanks to tfrWLDNAS, I should have one of my own on the way, very soon. And that Super Couper is a great piece!

The Battle mechs are called EXO Squard Robotech. which there are rare toys

That Mini-Con is Universe Strongarm! Was redecoed later as a taxi and called Overcharge. Fitting name!
I won't lie, the nails looks amazing ✨
why thou?
Everything you do is entertaining mate
For some reason my replies not staying here
I did message back straight away
Was also great to see you at tfnation
Excellent, A Thew Unboxing to get us in the TF Nation spirit. I hope to see you there as I always seem to miss you in the bar.
that police car minicon is Strongarm, I only know this because he had a taxi repaint called Overcharge and that thing is endlessly funny to me. also the blue rid2015 minicon is Galcius
3:35
it's been a year I know I know, but that looks extremely like a certain Tobot that I've seen a long time ago.
Euroad Ceasar is a thing of beauty. Congratulations!
As a younger Englishman with a flair for the heavier side of music. I'm so glad that our humour matures like a fine wine.
The guy in the robot shut is probably from Exo-Squad. It was a blink and you miss it cartoon and toy line from the 90's. The show and figures where pretty good.

Needed a dose of nostalgia today and this hit the spot. Have no idea who the cop bot is but I've got him somewhere in the home.
Love the self expression with the nails! I want to paint mine again!
Like the skywarp nails, they look on fleek
24:59 That would be the GM Cannon 2.
GM being said like Jim rather than Gee-Em.
By the looks of it; that might be an old Mobile Suit In Action figure.
Holy shit, an E-Frame from Exo Squad! (the second item) That's Simbacca!
Ah yes, Final Fishing 15 Representation. Great game, 9/10.
Also, Carmen Rider.
Also also, 25:06, that's the RGC-83 GM Cannon II, sporting the chunky Chobham/Composite Armour.
4:43 that looks like something from ether gi joe or a gi joe knockoff
It is Exo-Squad, it was a toy line for the 90s, check out the line.
I remember playing Tobal No. 1. when I was younger. Most characters use power bomb (the wrestling move) as their special attack.
First off nice nails love them the second remember in the b-list movie toys you talking about you I had a dream about a third Transformer named Extinction well I took that and ran with it and I think you'd like it
That Tobot V Mini Classic is a banger. Enjoy it!
That weird looking black space gun is actually Ransacks (I own a complete vintage one myself =D) and the name of the deluxe insecticon that the blue one is a rip off of is Barrage. XD
Oh hey that pirate mech guy is from Exo Squad!
4:40 Thats gotta be an ExoSquad toy. It looks pretty vintage.
Lmao the games, the Arnold voices....what is today doing to me...nostalgia is great....was at the outlet stores today and "Eddie Bauer" was just a natural Arnold voice word to say...it's pretty fun if you try...what a great episode!!! Love it
HOLY CRAP, I had that beetle dude when I was kid, this is the first time I've seen it in like 25 years.
Second one was an Exo squad toy from the 90s cartoon awesome
