Imagine a Thief just gets in your house and then he hears "Intruder alert! Leave now or face me!" And then he sees the Command and Convert Optimus Primal transforming into robot mode
That transforming mask seems like an idea that could have been scrapped during the G2 experimental era. I'm not saying it's a BAD idea; just a crazy one.
That would actually have made more sense for Dropkick's non-movie toy, since he turns into a jet and a hot rod in Bumblebee. But it's still a better name for him than the Battletrap we got, who looks a lot more like Scorch.
watching someone twice my age unbox a load of robot toys is my favorite way to spend time on a gorgeous sunny afternoon. i’m having such a nice time right now
I just love that your doing reviews of old Transformers on your mom's couch has translated into getting sent a giant box of crap from Hasbro and hosting OFFICIAL livestreams. I am proud.
This actually happened with Linus. He went from doing stuff in his girlfriend now wife's parents couch and living room to owning a 100 million dollar evaluated company.
Fun video! Thank you! Once again, the red-tailed hawk is the Frank Welker of Hollywood's predatory pird sound effects. You recognise the voice, you've heard it everywhere, but apart from maybe in "Rango," you never see the noise attached to the actual bird that makes it. So far, the only ROTB thing I've bought was the "Targetmaster Skullcruncher." It is DEFINITELY getting repainted into Gatoraider for my Collector's Club Krok!
If I'd known you were looking for the Primal mask, I could have gotten you dozens. It's about the only thing Walmart consistently has in stock right now. I can't believe they put a "Trukk not monky" joke inside the animatronic Primal, that's amazing!
I was expecting Ron Perlman sound alike quotes for that Command and Convert Primal, but my god they avoided spoilers while keeping it fun by making him the G1 Primal with the movieverse design.
Tbh what I disliked about the movie is how much disney lightsaber it was. They were too scared to kill off any of the important characters so they just revived them. Mirage and bumblebee. They just... Came back to life. No explanation except for "energon".
Daaaaaamn, I wasn't expecting the electronics on that Bee to be so good, might have to check it out...and that electronic Primal looks stupid fun, I hopé they eventually discount it into my price range.
I'm going to have to buy a bunch more of this than I anticipated. Thews energy is so infectious, dispels all the cynicism one could have in the toy collecting fandoms. also its great that Thew is opening and experiencing every piece, representing the core Transformer fan. A lot of the other channels that got this box, did not do as deep a dive on it.
I had been mixed on Studio Series Airrazor at first, but I had been starting to warm up to it, and Thew's now settled it and I'll probably look into getting it soon. Update: About a day after I made this comment I found her at Walmart lol
it just struck me that with the wrecking ball/mace they coulda used the name "Sinker" for battletrap . as in yer man that was recreated by unicron along with hook and line. it ties in well with his role in the film as a herald.
I think my solution too the Robeson problem is to have a remote control so that you're the one transforming it and making it walk around, that way it still feels like it needs you
Love seeing Generations Selects Rotorstorm there. Really good figure, and a good use of the Spinister mold. Honestly, the first Generations Selects figure I've bought, and it does not disappoint.
As someone who is in the UK, it IS crazy hot here RN, the UK summer is here & will probably have gone within the next coupla weeks SS Airrazor is basically Kingdom but slightly bigger
Rise of the beast is definitely a good film, yes the story writing in a couple of spots is predictable but it is one I'm considering going to see again
The transforming Optimus Primal has Gary Chalks voice, he was the original voice actor for the character in the 90s as well as Optimus Prime in the Armada/Energon/ Cybertron series’s.
People in Ireland/UK, the Command and Convert Primal is discounted from 95 to 25 at Smyths. Do yourselves a favour and grab it, they're practically giving them away at that price.
Congratulations to the receipient of the Optimuse Priime toy. Meanwhile, I'll be over here waiting for Lego to collaborate with Hasbro once again to bring us another Transformers kit. Maybe Bumblebee? A random Decepticon? Who knos?
We picked up SS ROTB Airazor this weekend just gone - My wife's 1st Transformer!! (yes, my Wife brought herself a Transformer - yes, I am gloating!) Overall, Airazor's not bad at all - my only (minor) nitpick, is that I do think the Alt-mode tail feathers could've extended out away from the main body a little more (the bird mode looks just a smidge... stunted, IMO)
This actively makes me want to pick up a Battletrap. Never knew the original character, myself, but I want this one. The sunset gold tow truck who smashes. Yes.
you should review the yolopark non transforming model kits. They're officially licensed by hasbro and they have RotB bee, pime, and primal. each one is only $30
Spoilers for the movie but I really enjoyed it. I think the only complaint I have is that they should’ve had optimus himself talk about his issues. Felt like the humans kept saying how prime was feeling you know what I mean? If they gave more scenes of optimus and primal talking I think it would’ve highlighted his change into the lovable and heroic autobot we know and love. Either way I still loved the rendition of prime and the whole movie in general
If transformers rise of the beasts g I Joe cameo in the post credit scene would that mean the rise of the beasts trilogy is the transformers cinematic universe where g I Joe and teenage mutant ninja turtles are involved with transformers
Absolutely loved this vid!!! Very well timed with me going for a 2nd viewing of ROTB tomorrow AND having received Studio Scourge today! In a proper mood to watch you nerd out over some bots!
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Prime arrived voluntarily at the end of Bumblebee without any issues. There was no talk of him being stuck. Next thing you know he is angry and emo over getting his team stuck. Something, again, never mentioned prior to that moment in the movie. The move was a summer movie. It was good for a watch, but not a good movie.
Because Optimus had less than a minute of present-day screentime. He consistently says he meant for Earth to be a place to regroup, not a longterm living situation. He can be glad to see old friends and still be pissed about how badly things have gone from his perspective.
"You were expecting a truck?"
That's one Oscar winning line right there
that sold me on it
that really got me XD
I was expecting a giant car.
Yep lol funny
Up there with "What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?"
The fact that the toy laughs ALONGSIDE THEW at the end makes that moment EVEN BETTER. 😂
Oh yeah. Even if they didn't get the "right" voice actor, it feels like everyone involved in the development of that toy had fun.
I liked how it turned it's head and gave a deep stare at Thew before making the remark
I like to believe that at 22:35 it wasn't a programmed sentence but a moment of Primal revealing to be sentient like in toy story
Those Guitar riffs, the Gary Chalk impersonation, and that Trukk comment...
They KNEW what they were doing with talking Primal.
Whoever coined 'monkey vault' has unwittingly come up with a GREAT band name!!!
that's either punk or ska.
@@CarloMain oh, that's hardly for me to say.
"MONKE."
"What? Were you expecting a truck?"
The SASS on this man. XD
That desk fan is Thew's closest fan
Good one XD
Oh no boomer humor
That Optimus Primal segment at the end had me ROLLING. What a joy. And weirdly... now I want one.
Imagine a Thief just gets in your house and then he hears "Intruder alert! Leave now or face me!" And then he sees the Command and Convert Optimus Primal transforming into robot mode
And then he nicks it for the kids 😉
And it turns out he's got one of the chips from Small Soldiers, and has a fully functional flamethrower waiting.
That transforming mask seems like an idea that could have been scrapped during the G2 experimental era. I'm not saying it's a BAD idea; just a crazy one.
I just want a functional Soundwave smartphone.
"Beast Mode Bumblebee" has that Yuusha/Brave series anime robot gimmick.
21:49 I love the giggle Primal belts out after you respond
Honestly him being called Battletrap just makes me realise they really should’ve named dropkick from bumblebee Battletrap
That would actually have made more sense for Dropkick's non-movie toy, since he turns into a jet and a hot rod in Bumblebee. But it's still a better name for him than the Battletrap we got, who looks a lot more like Scorch.
You're thinking of Shatter. Dropkicks was a silver helicopter and a blue car, which is even MORE on brand for battletrap
watching someone twice my age unbox a load of robot toys is my favorite way to spend time on a gorgeous sunny afternoon. i’m having such a nice time right now
The Primal at the end with the absolute SASS timing.
PLEASE tell me that's a specific Easter egg and not just a random one-liner.
I just love that your doing reviews of old Transformers on your mom's couch has translated into getting sent a giant box of crap from Hasbro and hosting OFFICIAL livestreams. I am proud.
From Mom's Couch to Bedroom to Flat With Weird Utility Access Through A Cupboard to Getting Ready to Move in with Fiancé, it's been a heck of a ride.
This actually happened with Linus. He went from doing stuff in his girlfriend now wife's parents couch and living room to owning a 100 million dollar evaluated company.
22.35 that is actually flipping hilarious😂 and the more I hear that voice it actually sounds like primal especially that laugh, maybe it's just me
Fun video! Thank you!
Once again, the red-tailed hawk is the Frank Welker of Hollywood's predatory pird sound effects. You recognise the voice, you've heard it everywhere, but apart from maybe in "Rango," you never see the noise attached to the actual bird that makes it.
So far, the only ROTB thing I've bought was the "Targetmaster Skullcruncher." It is DEFINITELY getting repainted into Gatoraider for my Collector's Club Krok!
All of the Battlemaster beasts are great. Optimus Primal is my favorite out of them, his blaster mode just looks so awesome.
I can see Rhinox being bought up by customizers for that minigun barrel.
The way Primal looked at Thew when he said "Munke" made it infinitely better.
If I'd known you were looking for the Primal mask, I could have gotten you dozens. It's about the only thing Walmart consistently has in stock right now.
I can't believe they put a "Trukk not monky" joke inside the animatronic Primal, that's amazing!
I was expecting Ron Perlman sound alike quotes for that Command and Convert Primal, but my god they avoided spoilers while keeping it fun by making him the G1 Primal with the movieverse design.
He even sounds like Garry Chalk at points.
That truck line from Primal is brilliant
We need that big Optimus primal to accompany thew in all of his future videos now 😂😂
Seeing you with Robo Primal made me happy, going through a breakup and it’s been hard. But this brought me a smile
Sorry to hear it. But glad you found some joy, too. Hope you feel better soon.
Battletrap is the only terrorcon whose design changed very little from cpncept to final design unlike Scourge and Nightbird
12:31 Bumblebee is a true American!
Tbh what I disliked about the movie is how much disney lightsaber it was. They were too scared to kill off any of the important characters so they just revived them. Mirage and bumblebee. They just... Came back to life. No explanation except for "energon".
"You are a great leader!"
"Disagree"
These subtle, self deprecating truth bombs are why we absolutely adore you, Thew
That sounds like Garry Chalk doing the voice work for the Primal toy.
Daaaaaamn, I wasn't expecting the electronics on that Bee to be so good, might have to check it out...and that electronic Primal looks stupid fun, I hopé they eventually discount it into my price range.
I kinda hope we get a beast wars movie where it’s on the maximal planet, it would be cool to see the season 1 cast of beast wars in live action
I saw Rise of the Beasts last Saturday. 10/10 film for the summer.
You and Animatronic Optimus Primal make a pretty good double act.
I'm going to have to buy a bunch more of this than I anticipated. Thews energy is so infectious, dispels all the cynicism one could have in the toy collecting fandoms.
also its great that Thew is opening and experiencing every piece, representing the core Transformer fan. A lot of the other channels that got this box, did not do as deep a dive on it.
He made me fall in love with Retrax, and now I want a recolor/new head version of him as Unicron.
With this fandom (and some others), it's a breath of fresh air to have some positive vibes for a change.
I had been mixed on Studio Series Airrazor at first, but I had been starting to warm up to it, and Thew's now settled it and I'll probably look into getting it soon.
Update: About a day after I made this comment I found her at Walmart lol
it just struck me that with the wrecking ball/mace they coulda used the name "Sinker" for battletrap . as in yer man that was recreated by unicron along with hook and line.
it ties in well with his role in the film as a herald.
I think my solution too the Robeson problem is to have a remote control so that you're the one transforming it and making it walk around, that way it still feels like it needs you
And let him stand still don't forget that
It just hit me, the Terrorcons in RotB are Hook, Line and Sinker from the comics.
Love seeing Generations Selects Rotorstorm there. Really good figure, and a good use of the Spinister mold. Honestly, the first Generations Selects figure I've bought, and it does not disappoint.
Now he just needs to show up in a combiner...
As someone who is in the UK, it IS crazy hot here RN, the UK summer is here & will probably have gone within the next coupla weeks
SS Airrazor is basically Kingdom but slightly bigger
I still wonder why so many people in the UK don't have central air conditioning despite how bad the summers get.
Command and Convert Primal basically reviewed himself lol
"Slipknot call me I'm ready" is completely a mood.
Oh wow! Bumblebee was fairly rad and Airazor! Want.
If you have the kingdom airazor the rotb one is very good even for a hugs have retool
Rise of the beast is definitely a good film, yes the story writing in a couple of spots is predictable but it is one I'm considering going to see again
I need that command and covert Optimus now its amazing
Battletrap is like a movieverse Scorch and I love it. Shame I can't buy it...
Why didn't they name him that? It fits perfectly!
IRL headmasters are terrifying.
Beat me to it….. great to see a real headmaster….
I've actually liked most of the ROTB toys that aren't like normal transformers. It's been a very fun year so far for transformers.
4:05 thew becomes grand master Apelinq
Spinister on the desk? Exactly where he deserves to be, brilliant.
Like people give the MCU grief for killing off villains but the Bayverse killed all of them.
The transforming Optimus Primal has Gary Chalks voice, he was the original voice actor for the character in the 90s as well as Optimus Prime in the Armada/Energon/ Cybertron series’s.
It isn't him.
Finally, a Bumblebee figure that I'm willing to buy.
People in Ireland/UK, the Command and Convert Primal is discounted from 95 to 25 at Smyths. Do yourselves a favour and grab it, they're practically giving them away at that price.
Holy crap
That animatronic Optimus serves big Beast Wars cartoon vibes
There has never been a Thew video where I'm not grinning uncontrollably the entire time. I fucking love you and your channel, dude.
you expected a truck
I don't think that Optimus Primal voice was Gary Chalk either. Love the smart-ass remarks it has though, that's brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my God! You don't know how much I needed this after the week I'm having. Thank you Thew.
Bumblebee was a background character if anything so back in g1, so his big random spotlight seems off to me
"Have anything else to say?"
"Are you gonna let me?"
*laughs devilishly*
21:49
That was a good Ironman 2 Whiplash reference on the "Borrd" - I thought I was the only one who says that.
Idk why I was surprised to hear that Thew knew who Decidueye was and casually referencing it.
I believe the voice for that robotic Primal is actually Gary Chalk!
Nice Fast Show reference with the Cave and Owl. :D
Congratulations to the receipient of the Optimuse Priime toy. Meanwhile, I'll be over here waiting for Lego to collaborate with Hasbro once again to bring us another Transformers kit. Maybe Bumblebee? A random Decepticon? Who knos?
"Right up my third eye" is the phrase from this video that will be entering my personal lexicon.
Looking forward to part 2 and your Rise of the Beasts film discussion
Can’t wait for the full video review of that Optimus Primal mask lol jk
We picked up SS ROTB Airazor this weekend just gone - My wife's 1st Transformer!! (yes, my Wife brought herself a Transformer - yes, I am gloating!)
Overall, Airazor's not bad at all - my only (minor) nitpick, is that I do think the Alt-mode tail feathers could've extended out away from the main body a little more (the bird mode looks just a smidge... stunted, IMO)
Love the Spaced reference lol.
The Optimus Primal that talks, sounds like the Original Beast Wars voice.
It really doesn't.
That Spaced reference...
Battletrap is Hoist‘s body with Bulkhead‘s weapon and a head that is kind of a mix of Waspinator and (RID 2015) Soundwave in Grapple‘s colorscheme.
Always a good day when we get a dammit open
Aw, thanks for the shout-out! Even if it was, well, random.
I'll have to come back to this as I haven't see ROTB yet.
This actively makes me want to pick up a Battletrap. Never knew the original character, myself, but I want this one. The sunset gold tow truck who smashes. Yes.
Seeing as how I've not seen the movie yet, I'll be back for this video on Saturday!
“Have anything else to say?”
“Are you going to let me?”
*Laughs*
Bumblebee beast mode? More like Rise of The Bumblebeast
sheesh the devs of that mask really MONKEYed around with that idea huh
Woulda been cool if Mirage's character was Cheetor and he played a bigger part as the companion bot to make the movies title make more sense.
im SOOOOO fucking happy ROTB was good. Although it was very clear it had a lot of corners cut.
Thew with the Primal mask equals Winston from Overwatch
I just realized something thinking about it battletrap could have been dropkicks model from bbm hes blue and grey and has a car and helicopter mode
I feel like Hasbro sent the Animatronic Optimus Primal just to sass back at Thew as revenge for his scathing review on Robosen
I want that box. Already have most of the contents but that box is super cool.
Love the bi nail polish, happy pride. Hope you're having a good day
you should review the yolopark non transforming model kits. They're officially licensed by hasbro and they have RotB bee, pime, and primal. each one is only $30
The mask comes mistransformed out of the box. The legs can move out of the way and that makes it more comfortable.
Spoilers for the movie but I really enjoyed it. I think the only complaint I have is that they should’ve had optimus himself talk about his issues. Felt like the humans kept saying how prime was feeling you know what I mean? If they gave more scenes of optimus and primal talking I think it would’ve highlighted his change into the lovable and heroic autobot we know and love.

If transformers rise of the beasts g I Joe cameo in the post credit scene would that mean the rise of the beasts trilogy is the transformers cinematic universe where g I Joe and teenage mutant ninja turtles are involved with transformers
Damn, I really wanted that Optimus Prime, I enter every single giveaway and have never won, awe well I suppose there's always next time
I look forward to getting that converting Optimus Primal for £20 so it can join RC Sqweeks
Absolutely loved this vid!!! Very well timed with me going for a 2nd viewing of ROTB tomorrow AND having received Studio Scourge today! In a proper mood to watch you nerd out over some bots!
Spoilers:
Lowkey, Prime saying “you have *got* to stop going to that drive-in theatre”
To Bee had me in absolute stitches in the theatres.
I couldn’t help but wonder if that line was a reference to Knock Out from Transformers Prime. “I have seen human horror films! AT DRIVE IN THEATRES!“
21:48 The disrespect on this rock is criminal😂
OK so that animatioc prime was giving me archer leader of the gorgonites vibes
So many continuity errors, so much Bay-verse influence, so many bad jokes, but it was still more Transfomers and was still a fun move.
There weren't any continuity errors. The only other movie it's in continuity with was Bumblebee. They're a new series, the Bay films are done.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Prime arrived voluntarily at the end of Bumblebee without any issues. There was no talk of him being stuck. Next thing you know he is angry and emo over getting his team stuck. Something, again, never mentioned prior to that moment in the movie.
The move was a summer movie. It was good for a watch, but not a good movie.
Because Optimus had less than a minute of present-day screentime. He consistently says he meant for Earth to be a place to regroup, not a longterm living situation. He can be glad to see old friends and still be pissed about how badly things have gone from his perspective.
Hasbro needs to re-release the movie AirRazor recolor as G1 Laserbeak.
