I had the exact same problem with Fracture - thought I bought a legit one off eBay, but once it arrived the box was a train wreck, the legs filed for divorce with the upper torso almost immediately, and the joints were impossibly loose :P I almost want me a Hellcaroll...
16:16 reminds me of those old "Continue" screens from video games where the hero is in some kind of peril, but only you can save him by pumping in more quarters... only this time, you sped up the countdown to zero.
Nah, they weren't based on any sculpts as far as I'm aware. Their transformation involved going from a dinosaur by turning their back legs into arms, splitting the tail in half to reveal the head, and folding their legs down from their stomach. Not a bad toy but not terribly exciting in terms of transformation.
These videos do make me really appreciate the Hasbro Transformers I have. People give 'em flack for repaints all the time, but at least their QC is pretty good and some repaints work pretty damn well.
I don't know why but seeing an Arcee figure (which bizarrely looks really good) and seeing Thew react to it being just called "Caroll" cracks me up. CAROLL?? I friggin love it, man, it's hilarious X'D
Man, I love these. It's really fun watching you ruin shameless plastic and the occasional electronic. The added bonus of categories really adds to the fun.
Thew Adams I really like them. For all their Chinese-ness, they pretty much work. Kinda jealous, as I've ordered stuff from China before, but they've generally been shit and usually break during transport.
Awesome!!! Just pure awesome, Thew! Both me and my wife just loved this episode. You really have gone all out for your show and it's going to pay off. I can honestly tell you that you are one of the most entertaining personalities in this hobby. Keep up the great work.
I just want you to know that, not only have I been consistently rewatching your videos since 2010, but now I’ll sit and watch these with my toddler or infant and you hold their attention. My infant especially seems to love your content and she’ll just sit next to me on the couch and listen to you word at us about plastic people
Y'know, that Alien Terminators figure looks an awful lot like an old Movie Bumblebee figure I had years ago. It'd explain why you couldn't transform it; The actual figure was one hell of a lot bigger and would take you about a day to transform.
Konata Izumi I'll admit it, so are mine.... I just could not bring my self to spending over $100.00 for 4 tiny cassettecons who are not much more than accessories for my MP-13 (and 13B).
GOD bless this immense display, like dude i gotta be real i was afraid i was too hyped up for this when it finally dropped but MAN. ITS PRETTY SAVAGE. congrats on 150 vids and congrats on getting this thing bloody done already, jesus. Made My God Damn Night
I missed you so much, it almost leaned on some strange mancrush. TH-cam doesn't update me on you new loads, yet i am still subbed to you. I kinda almost sorta no homo bro love you man!
Holy crap the anticipation has paid off! I didnt want the video to end!! I was smiling ear to ear and laughing the whole way. Never a dull moment with you Thew!
My local Walmart had them right next to the transformers until they were moved to the opposite side of the aisle .now there eyeballing the 9$ combiner wars deluxes seeing who is gonna get sent to the clearance isle first to hang out with the 20 skull skorpio that have been there for almost 2 years now
19:20 I'm disappointed in the TF community for not hiring Thew as a voice actor for Starscream or an original character. Y'all need to get on that shit.
Hey, maybe we should contact the creators of the fan series tfp Galvatron’s Revenge and inquire about hitting Thew up for the role of Starscream in a future project?
Always love seeing things from you Thew, best random reviewer I've ever seen. Hope to see more soon if possible, as long as life allows of course, don't stress yourself or nothin'. The beat downs are great.
Hearing him say "like a little flower" was probably the highlight of the video for me, for i am a simple man, with simple entertainment expectations :P
ick, those Bandai America digimon shelfwarmers are disgusting. The japanese merch is too expensive to reproduce or import here so they just don't bother. The same has happened to power rangers since maybe 2008. Sad, really. Bandai DX makes some quality shit.
;( back in my day the power rangers megazords we got were bandai DX figures that just skipped some paint and added american stickers but were otherwise the same
Loving Man Dan Cilley actually it isn't too expensive for them to get the molds from their Japanese counterparts and use less paint. That's what they use to do. Bandai of America are just morons and waste money making new molds which are smaller and worse in every way while also making the stuff with lower quality plastic
Awesome stuff as always...I see you must have seen my run over the KO ford toys beatdown I did and the whole throw them off the balcony thing...Glad to see you spice it up more than I did cheers mate!
A very incredible 150th episode. Worth the wait. Always a fan of seeing actual reviews of the tat I'm often sadly tempted by on my travels through shite cheapo shops.

The generations Mirage mold always had questionable quality. I'm not surprised he thought Fracture was a knockoff.
“The legs filed for divorce with the upper torso almost immediately” good lord I’m dead
@@RegalRoyalWasTaken Me too! XDDDDD
I want that Hellcaroll too, the blue just works sooo much better on that mold.
Yea
Very appropriate "Garbage day" shirt you're wearing there, Thew.
Jarmo Verriet Where's the gun?
Were you throwing tampons at Frenzy and Rumble?
AKShamu28 yup :D
Thew Adams Classy. xD
Thew Adams Swag
AKShamu28 Yeah, because even for knock-offs they were BLOODY expensive.
Lizerdspherex OHHH DAAAAMMMNNN
I spat out my tea when you had the green train say "Hello guys." lol That alone made my day. Thanks Thew!

Bakugan has transformers in it as well. OMG! No seriously, they have Bakumorph
Either that or its a 70's super sentai mech
It was quite _Brave_ of him

Still waiting

38 minutes of Thew? Yes please!
16:16 reminds me of those old "Continue" screens from video games where the hero is in some kind of peril, but only you can save him by pumping in more quarters... only this time, you sped up the countdown to zero.
I remember getting these Samurai-esque ripoff-formers when I was young. I swear, one of the reasons I watch this series is to see if they appear.
Were they actually rip-offs? They could have been a cheap kinda sorta original thing

You make me wanna give up making videos. Most entertaining thing Ive seen in a long time. Great job!
RocketPunchArmy can't tell if that's a compliment or an insult but okay
12:36 oh shit I actually had that one as a kid, he was packed in with 4 other knockoff bug boys that could barely keep themselves in 1 piece
3:28 I thought you said "Treadnought" and I almost choked on my food by laughter xD I love your humour, keep up the awesome work! :D
Editing was so solid in this. The little intro songs killed me XD
isn't that red thing with non-slaught there from dotm shockwave?
Yeah it is
durge12 oh my god thank you. I was convinced it was from Dlx Unicron.
Such a weird part to have been ko'd
***** Of course you're not invisible, you're everything to me. But Mike was first!
Thew, have you got plans to review that awesome Metroplex in the background?
Thew: *makes beatdown IV*
also thew: *doesn't say "I must break you"*
Also also thew: *redeems himself with a garbage day t-shirt*

Hey look, a fellow Night Vale lover!
Man, I love these. It's really fun watching you ruin shameless plastic and the occasional electronic. The added bonus of categories really adds to the fun.
Well THAT was worth the wait.
No really, I mean 38 minutes? What did we do to deserve this love?
I’d like to thank thew for introducing me to Sirtoys cause I managed to find a KO MP 36 at a quarter of the price that amazon is charging for one
I'm guessing the Baltmatrix gave you the Shape Bots
RodimusMinor1987 yuuuup
Thew Adams I really like them. For all their Chinese-ness, they pretty much work. Kinda jealous, as I've ordered stuff from China before, but they've generally been shit and usually break during transport.
Thew Adams
Thought so
I liked the part where he smashed the toys
38 MINUTES STRAIGHT OF THEW. Oh this is the best way to end my spring break.
The say some plastic takes thousands of years to decompose these guys disintegrate the second you taken out the box
Awesome!!! Just pure awesome, Thew! Both me and my wife just loved this episode. You really have gone all out for your show and it's going to pay off. I can honestly tell you that you are one of the most entertaining personalities in this hobby. Keep up the great work.
Did Fakeaway actually Survive?
Sam McLeod He actually did! He flew to bits but went back together with only a smidge of plastic damage. He actually lives in Newcastle though
Thew Adams Does he have any relatives in Newcastle?

Just saying.
+Thew Adams I don't know why, but for some reason I wouldn't destroy any of these knockoffs and just keep them.
+Thew Adams how? was he sold on ebay?
"Looks like a map of Crete drawn by 5 year old" is one of the most unique things I've ever heard used to describe a logo.
6:08 that's DOTM shockwaves sword blade thing caste in red plastic
so needed this. Thank you very much. The fake-out smashes at the end were awesome. :D
12:44 the full set of these were my first transformers
sad isn't it
7 years later I still come back for “INSANE IN THE MEMTRAIN”
I actually remember the McDonald's transformers. I love them at the time!

"Daisy...like a little flower" nice Spaced reference 🤣

Great, now I want Thew to voice Starscream in the next show...
Amen!
Thew Adams Even MP KOs can be spared!
wait, the moon base 1 guy falls apart?
wow. even they knew of the moon base 1 comparison
Your bloodlust for knockoff transformers destruction is highly amusing! Please continue this series in the future good sir!
I know this video's old, but I just realized where that second weapon from Nonslaught at about 6:08 is from. It's DOTM Shockwave's melee weapon!
Oh man, today is the day I needed this. Thank you Thew, thanksx1million.
Y'know, that Alien Terminators figure looks an awful lot like an old Movie Bumblebee figure I had years ago.
It'd explain why you couldn't transform it; The actual figure was one hell of a lot bigger and would take you about a day to transform.
Thew. Never stop doing what your doing. I love these videos!
My Rumble and Frenzy are knockoffs!!!!?! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
oh well, they were cheap
Konata Izumi I'll admit it, so are mine.... I just could not bring my self to spending over $100.00 for 4 tiny cassettecons who are not much more than accessories for my MP-13 (and 13B).
yeah I felt the same
tekcomputers You wouldnt spent $120 on the 4 official cassettes, but you'd spend almost $200 on a black Soundwave repaint?
I didn't spend anywhere near $200.00 on my soundblaster
Shit, you right. He's like $130. My bad.
What a wonderful way to start the week. Thanks, Mr. Adams.

That Thew slow clap and "well done" needs to be made into a forum weapon.

5:00 I’m pretty sure that’s Mach Lander from the Brave Fighter of Legend Da-garn anime. The original toy actually has the fists fold down.
