Hey fam!! Make sure to set this video to highest 1440p quality, some stuff may be tough to see without that. And don't forget to check out Mykyl's music, I reached out to him after falling In love with that song in the intro I found on Apple Music and he's the chillest dude who deserves the hype. Here's his YT: www.youtube.com/@itsmykyl
So now you might want to look into the short lived toy line that did this everyday house hold items into things first, look up Computer warriors, they had a functional flashlight, calculator, digital clock, and pencil sharpener, among other fun toys, came out in the early 90's and you can watch the pilot episode for a series that they were going to have her on TH-cam.
I got Meantime a year ago at a small toy convention. For a character that’s canonically about 5 inches tall, he just looks so indescribably malevolent.
I love the use of the cybertronian language in this video haha, I feel like it was somewhat of a cool thing the bayverse films did that made the decepticons creepy lol
Didnt see you mention it on the soundwave, but that plastic cover he comes in actually is an accessory for the tablet mode! The back of it hides aaaaalll of the kibble and makes the tablet look tons better!
The small back wings on his backpack, thats where the guns are stored, now where is my cookie. YOU HAVE TO SEND ME THAT COOKIE OR SOMETHING PAPERMELON. I GUESSED THIS BEFORE YOU REVEALED IT.
Bro his earpiece is a transformer. Ofc it knew what it was doing. And ig the earpiece is decepticon. Like i don’t think autobots will do something like that
I always go into these forgetting your knowledge of film making and am always blown away by these shots. Truly have ascended beyond just a toy review into something very artistic. Keep up the amazing work
Brilliant production! So many layers. This level of production value is not easy, and let's say it you really have to know your stuff. Time lapse photography, subtle light shifts, etc.
ah man, had so much fun watching this, all of it! many sprinkles of joy all through out, and ofc loved the ending haha. you do such a good job with nailing jokes with the edit, thanks for the fun
i don't think any other youtuber captivates me in the way that your videos have for the past few months. They're all just so chock full of personality that I don't think a single other person on the platform could even think of replicating your unique style. Your shots and personality are just wonderful in every way !!
@@papermelonI'm so glad that you're achieving your desired results! All the effort shines through in so many brilliant ways man, keep up the great work 😊😊😊😊
Your Editing is next level . It takes me 3 to 4 days to edit mine, and I hate to imagine how long you spend on these edits for your audience. 3 thumbs up
Dude, I know I probably said this before but I’ve gotta say it again: I am in LOVE with every aspect of how you edit your videos! You absolutely NAIL all the key components of not only good TH-cam video making, but good video making generally! High quality & clean yet interesting visuals, perfectly chosen & edited music (and really paying attention to the beats and emotion-evoking parts of the music), clever comedy & subversion of expectation, good storytelling, clear voiceover, and most importantly: GENUINE HUMAN PASSION! I notice all of these things in your videos, and truly, what you make is top tier. I always get invested in the subject of the video, it feels like an entire experience! Not just a video. It’s such a fun experience that I always come away from feeling good and inspired! Truly, you’re a huge inspiration, and I aspire to create videos that leave others with the positive feelings I have after seeing one of yours. I’m taking notes, and lots of ‘em! 🫡📝
Dude this comment made my day. Everything you listed are things I'm incredibly passionate about, and spend countless hours trying to perfect in the production. Thank you for taking the time to share this fam, you're a real one.
4:44 Yes! Exactly this! I'm a casual Transformers fan. I've only watched a few of the films and got a couple of Legends class figures from the first 2 movies. I recently got back into them because of the collab toys they've been doing and even I, as a really casual fan, was bothered by Nedry being an Autobot.
Imma say this your videos are so convincing beacuse twice your videos convinced me to get something your video was partly about 1. one of every mold for real gear robots, and 2 the tablet soundwave. Note: try to combo the ipod lazerbeak or the autobot version with the tablet soundwave.
Seeing that flip phone literally unlocked tons of childhood memories, I have no idea if I actually had the exact one but I definitely had a transformer flip phone and I loved the way it transformed. Thanks for the throwback! Awesome video
god man your so relatable and your videos are also art it's wild that they make me emotional and I love them your an amazing artist and an even better entertainer keep up the amazing work but pls don't over do it stay healthy and take breaks have a great night day and life lol and thank you for this video and all the others as well
right before watching this video i saw a post saying "art cant just "be anything" i personally have to like it." in relation to this video, this is some of the best art I've seen on the internet.
dawg thank you for making such great quality videos of something i love so much and can't participate myself. like fr your such a great creator, thank you!
I remember watching Transformers (2007) when I was younger and the one character that stuck with me permanently was Frenzy. There was something about his clean transformation into a small stereo that Fascinated me like none of the other characters could. This shockwave figure gives me that same vibe that I loved so much.
Oh holy heck, didn't expect a response! I've been binging your videos all night lol. I love seeing all of the Transformers stuff I missed out on, and your stuff is so high quality that it could just straight up be a Netflix show at this point. That final scene was absolutely perfect
The Transforming Point and Shoot transformer camera figure was by far my favorite figure from this line, alt mode wise, but I loved this toy line and I’m glad you’re covering it. Seems that nobody talks about this line of transformers!
I'm always impressed by the quality of your editing/filming/writing. Makes for fun videos (though you should remember to breath a bit more than that ^^'). Plus, thank you for introducing the Real Gear robot line to us ! ...though my wallet says it hates you, what with me already buying way to much bakugans this week ^^'
I used to have the decepticon phone when I was little. One day I just couldn't find it but I always appreciated how good it was at looking like a normal phone and still transforming. Like it was so good at both functions, the engineering required blew my mind
4:35 i have the kinda super rare brazilian exclusive retool of Decepticon Meantime, the Transformers Grendene watch, or simply: autobot Autobot. Yes, that 80's time traveling transformer watch that eventually became Vector Prime.
Bro’s production quality is on point, it’s akin to some of the top tech youtubers like Marques. He manages to make toy reviews look and feel high class and quality. And apparently bro’s also good at making movie-like plot twists
Such a nice compliment man! I'm actually such a big tech genre nerd, so I specifically set out to match the quality of that industry with this niche since I hadn't seen it done yet. Top tier praise, appreciate you fam!
@@papermelon you deserve it man. I can see how you love tech as well, I just saw some of your older tech vids before you focused on toy reviews. And I can relate, I love collecting Transformers and other figures and plushies, and I’m also big on tech and quite the gamer. Keep up the great work man! Glad I came across your channel :>
I remember buying the phone and controller ! I was at pf changs and remember the controller being my favorite cause of his arms and cool head! Love this blast from the past!
I have a Meantime somewhere around here (as well as the Autobot repaint of the flip-phone). One of my favorite aspects of Meantime is that it's apparently not too difficult to swap out the fake watch face for a functioning wristwatch. Customizer Jin Saotome (of Jin's Dangerous Toys) did the swap when the toy came out. I had dreams of imitating his work, but using one of the cheap MP3/smartwatch knockoffs on the market at the time - but it never happened.
I usually feel transitions into sponsor breaks are so annoyingly obvious but this was the smoothest one I’ve seen in my life 😂😂 awesome job! I love the work you put in each of your videos 🙌 I still want the flip phone and binoculars bots, I should probably use my responsible-adult-money to complete my childhood real gear robots collection 👀
When I was a child, I had one that had a bird mode, a gun mode and a video camera mode. An expanation for Gen-Z/Alpha: there was an overlapping period between cameras that captured on film roll and those that captured digitally, uhere we had video cameras seperate to our phones. You would hold it like a miniature RPG launcher, it had a little screen on the side that flipped out & sometimes rotated, and the lens extended a little out the front. It was a tech geek's dream.
Jesus Christ I haven’t laughed this hard watching a TH-cam video in a LONG time. where the hell you even get so many ideas for one damn video is beyond me 😂
As a kid I loved Night Beat 7 (the MP3 player) and Wiretap V20 (the phone in the video). I still have them somewhere. My grandparents got them for me as a reward for going to a museum with them and my brother that I had absolutely no desire to see. They more than made up for it
I wonder, since soundwave is based on an actual product, if there's a case for the product, and whether or not you can put the case on him to cover up the back.
I remember i had this tranformers toy book. Always loved the one with all the construction site transformers, especially this one orange cement mixer transformer
There is a working autobot watch that uses the same arms and legs ar the deception it is called Grendene it is red and grey and was sold together with sandals

You gave me so much nostalgia seeing that little infinity-Allspark I loved that thing when I had it back in the day lol
Yo good video
Why the hell is NOBODY talking about that plot twist at the end??? My guy pulled an M night shyamalan in a fucking toy review what a legend
FR MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOOR
Made me laugh 😂 glad you enjoyed fam
What a twist!
Absolutely amazing video production. No wonder this guy is a skilled editor.
I wonder if photon t34 was in on it
I'm always so impressed by your film making, the bit with the headphone ordering that toy from ebay felt movie quality - great job man!!
Yo, get this dude a guest spot on the podcast. This shit is insane.
yoooo hi Jake
Man's toy reviews have the production quality of a hollywood film, and that end bit literally had more suspense than "a quiet place"
Also thank you for the heart my lord of melon papers
I got Meantime a year ago at a small toy convention. For a character that’s canonically about 5 inches tall, he just looks so indescribably malevolent.
Malevolent is the perfect description
Nice pfp
I love the use of the cybertronian language in this video haha, I feel like it was somewhat of a cool thing the bayverse films did that made the decepticons creepy lol
SAME why is nobody talking about how clever that is in this video. And the sound affects 😩🔥
Dude THIS. The massive smile on my face when the very opening shot revealed that SICK red cybertronian text 😃 it’s so much fun
Same
"Babe, Paper Melon just uploaded!"
"Oh wait, i live alone."
Real
bets comment
unfortunately real
I liked ur comment then unliked because it must remain at 69
Unlike Paper Melon, apparently
Didnt see you mention it on the soundwave, but that plastic cover he comes in actually is an accessory for the tablet mode! The back of it hides aaaaalll of the kibble and makes the tablet look tons better!
i was about to say "what's the point if you can literally see everything from the back?" lmfao.
Good lord the ending actually sent a chill down my fucking spine 💀
This is actually quality cinema.
Haha mission accomplished
That was the smoothest transition to a sponsor and I’ve ever seen 😂
Witch?
@@bumbleblitzhe had 1 sponsorship transition wym “witch” 😂🤦♂️
wasn’t even mad just let it happen cause shit was so smooth 😂😂
Facts 😂 he better be getting fat paycheck for that it made me watch the sponsor
what song was used?
The small back wings on his backpack, thats where the guns are stored, now where is my cookie. YOU HAVE TO SEND ME THAT COOKIE OR SOMETHING PAPERMELON. I GUESSED THIS BEFORE YOU REVEALED IT.
i got you fam 🍪
The part where the headphone piece ordered something by itself was simply amazing! I can't imagine how difficult it was to to film that 🤯
Bro his earpiece is a transformer. Ofc it knew what it was doing. And ig the earpiece is decepticon. Like i don’t think autobots will do something like that
nice, also bro went out and made a horror movie plot for a video about transformers toys. that's dedication.
10:40 “FATHER HELP” has me CACKLING this shit is top tier comedy
ASDF reference 🚨
This tech is SO SICK! Thanks for featuring my song bro 🙏
Yoooo that song was straight fire I added it to my playlist keep up the great work
The man the myth the legend!
loving the amazing production quality and those little touches that you add to your vids that make'm feel movie-like and unique in their style 🙌🙌🔥🔥
I get sweaty when I think about how much work all this must’ve taken 😅🤣
Thanks man! Making a video about silly things unnecessarily cinematic is my favorite hobby lol
I always go into these forgetting your knowledge of film making and am always blown away by these shots. Truly have ascended beyond just a toy review into something very artistic. Keep up the amazing work
Such a nice compliment, thank you bro!
@@papermelon of course! :) and I’m actually one of you small number of female viewers, lmao. I got called out by that in a previous video, lol
@@AlbecoSound haha I guess bro is gender neutral in my brain, which doesn’t make much sense 😂
1:14 wait… WAIT… W A I T ! ! !
That was awesome as hell dude.
Brilliant production! So many layers. This level of production value is not easy, and let's say it you really have to know your stuff. Time lapse photography, subtle light shifts, etc.
I love how the B-roll looks like stock videos. Well done on the cinematography.
I thought it WAS b-roll until he was in it 😂😅
I really like how the flip phone backpack came out. Gives him a little carapace like he's a beetle.
Let’s go a new paper melon video at 5:30 in the morning!
I wish it was that reasonable in my time zone 😂
Dude, every single one of these videos are absolute works of art
Facts it’s on another level
12:39 It actually looks like something that would happen in a Transformers live action film. So well done it scared me the 1st time I watched.
ah man, had so much fun watching this, all of it! many sprinkles of joy all through out, and ofc loved the ending haha. you do such a good job with nailing jokes with the edit, thanks for the fun
So glad you had a great time with it man! That’s the goal :)

Your Editing is next level . It takes me 3 to 4 days to edit mine, and I hate to imagine how long you spend on these edits for your audience. 3 thumbs up
Bro came out of knowhere and has some of the best production quality in all of transformers youtube, great vid
I’m honored, so glad you enjoyed it man!
Such high quality videos done on such silly, awesome things
THAT ENDING WAS SO IMPRESSIVE!
@@thanksomuch1557omg i almost skipped it
Lets all acknowledge the tape deck mode of G1 Soundwave for changing the world.
Was just about to make the, "drop another video, and my life is yours" joke, been waiting for a new vid for so long.
Hope it was worth the wait lol

5:25 just straight facts though! I love finding new things about figures that I own
come for the reviews STAY FOR THE LORE
damn this video was fun
1:09 so unexpected but loved this part. Creative and hilarious great job! 😂
Intro and end plot twist goes UNREASONABLY hard ngl
My God, the production value is amazing.

Great production value man! Your cinematography and editing doesn’t go unnoticed man, keep it up 🤘🏼
th-the ending, what!? defiantly giving me arg vibes
Phone: "Mobilize."
I hear what you did there.

We can agree that Wiretap and Speed dial are bayverse Rumble and Frenzy (thought one is an Autobot)
I swear your videos have come quite a ways! The quality to these are fantastic! Also I had that same all spark toy too!
god man your so relatable and your videos are also art it's wild that they make me emotional and I love them your an amazing artist and an even better entertainer keep up the amazing work but pls don't over do it stay healthy and take breaks have a great night day and life lol and thank you for this video and all the others as well

How did a goddamn transformers video just raise my IQ by 40 points 💀
I literally love your style of videos, keep it up Paper Melon cuz u make my day whenever u upload
I didn’t expect the ending but it was amazing as much as the quality of your videos. I’ll be sure to watch as you post 😉
Now I watch it again i forgot about what it said at the start
Love your vids man😊 They make my day better in such cynical and harsh world. God bless😁
Aw this warmed my heart, thanks man
@@papermelon anytime👌
dawg thank you for making such great quality videos of something i love so much and can't participate myself. like fr your such a great creator, thank you!

Your videos are so absurdly well filmed omg, straight up TV show level cinematography and sound design. Soundwave would be impressed
Highest compliment lol what a dope comment

5:30 Wtf. The nostalgia i got from seeing this plastic thing once again. never thought id ever see it again. I miss you ):
YO a thriller level plot twist in a toy review is WILD
Bro is on something to be out here making toy reviews this sublime 💀
YOOO THE ENDING WAS FIRE
The Transforming Point and Shoot transformer camera figure was by far my favorite figure from this line, alt mode wise, but I loved this toy line and I’m glad you’re covering it. Seems that nobody talks about this line of transformers!
Not a Transformers guy but these videos are just awesome
The most powerful soundwave

7:15 I have no idea why but I actually just instinctively reached out to catch that as it was falling. 😂
I used to have the decepticon phone when I was little. One day I just couldn't find it but I always appreciated how good it was at looking like a normal phone and still transforming. Like it was so good at both functions, the engineering required blew my mind

This channel is so underrated. The quality of your videos are way better than most of toy reviewers. You deserve more love and support.
Thanks man!
Omg wait! That vulture creature at 6:04 I had that when I was a kid! Unlocked a memory with that one. I loved that toy, he turns into an iPod right??
First time watcher of your videos, That plot twist at the end definitely earned you a subscriber.
I remember buying the phone and controller ! I was at pf changs and remember the controller being my favorite cause of his arms and cool head! Love this blast from the past!
That intro, with the cube pulsing the bag of goodies to life... damn.
The lore goes hard ngl
I have a Meantime somewhere around here (as well as the Autobot repaint of the flip-phone). One of my favorite aspects of Meantime is that it's apparently not too difficult to swap out the fake watch face for a functioning wristwatch. Customizer Jin Saotome (of Jin's Dangerous Toys) did the swap when the toy came out. I had dreams of imitating his work, but using one of the cheap MP3/smartwatch knockoffs on the market at the time - but it never happened.
Never seen this, that’s pretty dope though
Your editing and story telling is unmatched. W video
I remember that watch!! I'll have to see if I've still got him in a box somewhere
meantime and wire tap were some of my very first TFs
Awesome little guys
Love the sound wave standing over his shoulder with red eyes glowing. That was a fun bit. 😃
I usually feel transitions into sponsor breaks are so annoyingly obvious but this was the smoothest one I’ve seen in my life 😂😂 awesome job! I love the work you put in each of your videos 🙌 I still want the flip phone and binoculars bots, I should probably use my responsible-adult-money to complete my childhood real gear robots collection 👀
1:14 my boy literally just made an earpod move with the door barging and without
dude I didnt even listen to your review of Soundwave first lol. I ran right into buying him the moment you revealed that it was Soundwave haha
When I was a child, I had one that had a bird mode, a gun mode and a video camera mode.
An expanation for Gen-Z/Alpha: there was an overlapping period between cameras that captured on film roll and those that captured digitally, uhere we had video cameras seperate to our phones. You would hold it like a miniature RPG launcher, it had a little screen on the side that flipped out & sometimes rotated, and the lens extended a little out the front. It was a tech geek's dream.
Jesus Christ I haven’t laughed this hard watching a TH-cam video in a LONG time. where the hell you even get so many ideas for one damn video is beyond me 😂
The b-roll of the woman sitting with soundwave with the sunset and shit is as funny as it is well shot 😂
Editing on this vid is wild.
Are we not going to talk about the fact he has the fucking all spark in his room
👀👀
Paper Melon continuing to redefine video presentation for a simple Transformers toy review video!
As a kid I loved Night Beat 7 (the MP3 player) and Wiretap V20 (the phone in the video). I still have them somewhere.
My grandparents got them for me as a reward for going to a museum with them and my brother that I had absolutely no desire to see. They more than made up for it
That is probably one of my favorite Soundwave designs ever
i mean this is peak transformer review, and that ending was cinema
As a G1 fan that grew up with Transformers that changed into cassette players or SLR cameras, this makes me feel as old as Alpha Trion.
The autobot version of the watch actually works as a watch. I still have mine and it still works
I wonder, since soundwave is based on an actual product, if there's a case for the product, and whether or not you can put the case on him to cover up the back.
From what I’ve seen Soundwave is a bit smaller than the real tablet, so as far as I know that wouldn’t work sadly
4:52 Don't worry, he's Movie Sentinel type.
3:10 sounds like a part of what bumblebee said in 2007 movie when he introduced himself to Sam and Mikela
You're film making is *chef's kiss*
I remember i had this tranformers toy book.
Always loved the one with all the construction site transformers, especially this one orange cement mixer transformer
There is a working autobot watch that uses the same arms and legs ar the deception it is called Grendene it is red and grey and was sold together with sandals
