I think you are remembering Quickswitch. He was the Autobot Six Changer. His modes: Robot, Cybertronic jet, drill tank, laser pistol, hovercraft and a flying puma.
I had both Overload and Erector and treasure the many maligned years they've been with me. There is just something about the characters you have as a kid that no other can amount to no matter how awesome. Great review man, style of review is unique and a breath of fresh air.
Here come ol' Flattop He come Flyyyyyin' up slowly He got Tiiiiiiny eyeballs He got Missiles down Tooooooo his knees Got to be a bad guy he just do what he please
My condolences on your loss. I too am a Flat Top fan. I snagged two of those transports and he was the Decepticon I owned. Ironically, despite wearing a flattop for most of my life (summer do right now is an exception), I didn't know his name. >.>
Working my way through your catalogue, and I have to agree with this one 100%. This is the only Micromaster base that I had, too, and I love the absurdity of Flattop! I am also a fan of the 'third from the left in the crowd shot' characters, and a 'jet that turns into a robot to pilot a jet that is turned from an aircraft carrier so one of those is the wrong size' is so dumb it can only be cool!
Thew! You're reviews are getting increasingly more awesome. On s scale of 1 to 10 this was OVER 9000! 2:57. Brainwashing successful. Flattop IS perfect. Shutting up.
I managed to get all four micromaster transports, and it's worth noting he's the only one who's not a truck, points for originality. His only competition play-value wise is Overload's car carrier. I heartily agree with your review Thew, Flattop's the perfect micromaster set.
The aircraft carrier in the comparisson picture is the USS Saratoga (I think). Crosshairs001 used it in his movie Broken Mirror. And the real Saratoga is probably being scrapped right now.
Awesome.. I think I should find some micromasters.. only have a few from when I was little.. the one thing micromasters did fun as a kid, was allowing us to have a "playset" with our toys, increasing the playability exponentially
Flattop was my favorite Micromaster vehicle play set. Probably because it was a cheaper Decepticon alternative to Broadside, only without a robot mode, but with a bonus Micromaster. I now have FansProject's Warbot Assaulter as a "proper" Broadside. Best. TF. EVER!
Wow, nice one. Never seen a complete flattop before. Nice. I was hoping to see a video by you this week, and my wish was gratnted. Thank you. Hope all is well. Btw, any idea how many bots you have now?
I had this one as a kid and played with him a lot. Even as a kid ti remember thinking hes a jet why does he need a jet. Overload on the other hand was great a car carrier with a jet. awesomesauce. Baby Ultramagnus
Question: have Flattop or any of his micromaster kin ever featured in the comics or cartoons? and if so, are they actually meant to be super tiny, like minicons, or are they just normal sized characters within the diegesis of the story that happen to have been given smaller toys? If he hasn't ever actually shown up, does that mean Flattop could hypothetically show up again, in the comics/cartoons or with a new toy, and reveal that he actually is a giant building-sized jet former, like Omega Supreme, that actually would take up 1/4 of the space on an aircraftcharrier, showing that the G1 incarnation is to scale? - i just feel like that would be a fun way of messing with people's expectations XD
I seem to recall the M.M. coming with my scorponok for some unexplained reason. Not even my G1(which I don't have), it somehow was in my EnErGoN Scorponok! ....Toy swapping?
Twelve packs of haribo i owe you, twelve! Though if you want the fizzy ones then only 6 because they are twice as good. Like your review, i enjoyed it twice as much as regular haribo. Michael Jordan
One of the first transformers I ever got myself, to bad I have no clue where he went off to. Unlike Chromedome at least this one I got in package so knew it was a real transformer.
gotta use imagination.lol That's awesome if there was a huge gun like that on the side of the aircraft carrier, but ur right about the transforming micromaster jet riding huge jet. I guess his jet mode is not so badass as the bigger one?
I had the aircraft carrier/plane doohickey as a small child, I think I picked it up from a car boot, but I thought he was pretty neat, and scale issues mean squat to a child who just wants to pretend kill some autobot scum. Also, RIP to your Hammy, I have a pair of Russian Dwarf Hamsters myself (Wade and Wilson, who I use in my reviews) so I feel your pain sir. Sam.
what does this guy say at 1:10 ...the wings look a little bit...???. I always understood verloren what would fit and mean that he has bilingual skills and speaks perfect german!
But I would say....GUNS! Ahh man, you just review this to a top notch standard...I don't even like this guy, but i still watch it, cos i know you will rip it! TDP =)
I love Flattop, hell I was upset I didn't get one back in the day, luckily my cousin found his when he was moving from Ohio to Louisiana and sent it to me. (Yeah, I'm that member of the family that the rest of the family sends old toys to. The bachelor who all his friends kids call "Uncle Chris". I've gone and made myself sad now.)
0:30 The absolute glee of manly excitement kills me everytime

Here come ol' Flattop
He come
Flyyyyyin' up slowly
He got
Tiiiiiiny eyeballs
He got
Missiles down
Tooooooo his knees
Got to be a bad guy he just do what he please
I think that Flattop is awesome too, sometimes the odd Transformers have more charm.
but not the Sparkabots
Actually I like the Sparkabots too.
Michael Alex Kawa Hey you can like whatever you like. They have their goofy charm
He was saying gun in a heavy metal voice before mashin chaser. Keep up the good work, Thew.
Shane_FT86 I got that reference!
BUBS NO!!!!!!!1!!!!! THE FEELS
wtf

Another epic review from the epic bearded Reviewer! Great stuff as always Thew.
I loved this one. I need to find it again!

poor broadside, he was the forgotten triple changer.didnt see this review coming so yay for 80's awesomesauce. cant wait for the next one :)
Awesome as always Mr Thew/ Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next epic review!
u posted this on my birthday. . .LOVE YOU!
@Vorahk3985 Yeah. Bad times. He had an awesome life though, he loved everyone and he made them all squeal.
Thew! You're reviews are getting increasingly more awesome. On s scale of 1 to 10 this was OVER 9000!
2:57. Brainwashing successful.
Flattop IS perfect.
Shutting up.
Kitteh, hamsters, anteaters, doggie, adorable kids, never would I've guessed gerwalks would be in the list of soul crushing internet cuteness.
0:11 This gets funnier every year.
"There's only 1 inch of clearance between the roof of this rattler, and *Flattop* tunnel."
I managed to get all four micromaster transports, and it's worth noting he's the only one who's not a truck, points for originality. His only competition play-value wise is Overload's car carrier.

Much love, Bubs.
Overload is my favorite micromaster. He's like a baby powered convoy.

Sounds like Broadside to me! All except for the animal part...
I had a roughstuff but oh how i wanted this guy. Quite liked how flattop turned into a phantom jet and i actually liked the maroon and grey scheme.
I too have a complete Flattop. I love him. He came with Erector. and a near complete micromaster set.
BUBS!!! R.I.P. lill guy. Glad ya had a good run. Sorry Thew. I know I know I'm 3 years late.
I'm thinkin' it's either Broadside or Snapdragon.
I had this one and the green one too - Roughstuff? I also had Overload - the car carrier one and he was total pants. lol
I had Erector and Flattop when I was little. Also had a whole bunch of Micromasters that I kept losing
I really felt sorry for our hamster dude. I hope now its in heaven, free of any worries and suffers.
Wow, nice one. Never seen a complete flattop before. Nice. I was hoping to see a video by you this week, and my wish was gratnted. Thank you. Hope all is well. Btw, any idea how many bots you have now?
I remember having this as a kids and I liked it

0:48- and the only one that has gotten modern updates, Overload.

Thanks for the videos Thew. Do you also collect macross?
You haven't posted a new vid in awhile so I've been forced to rewatch some of your older vids again.
Please post a new vid soon! :)
Could it be the other sixchanger, Quickswitch? He had all those modes and a gray-ish blue-ish color
Its almost like a history lesson, but with more humour.
I seem to recall the M.M. coming with my scorponok for some unexplained reason.
Not even my G1(which I don't have), it somehow was in my EnErGoN Scorponok!
....Toy swapping?
Twelve packs of haribo i owe you, twelve! Though if you want the fizzy ones then only 6 because they are twice as good. Like your review, i enjoyed it twice as much as regular haribo. Michael Jordan
I think this was he inspiration for Tidalwave and his minicon
AWESOME.
who was that autobot you showed at 2: 52?
One of the first transformers I ever got myself, to bad I have no clue where he went off to. Unlike Chromedome at least this one I got in package so knew it was a real transformer.
so true man, so true. rip
It's okay, Thew. I like Battletrap as well. *thumbs up*
RIP Bubs
Thew Adams Dude, have you considered reviewing Roadgrabber?
he was a big part of my childhood. love the guy.
+AcanLord
*_G1 Roadgrabber was his 12th review._*
ThunderHawking at 1:55 , not to be missed
A plane flying another plane? PLANECEPTION :O
glad to see you have your bots back Thew...do a review of one you don't like!
The son I never wanted. Listened to that clip too much
RIP bubs
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEWWWWWWWWWWW!!! you going to see converge on any of their dates? The birmingham date was fucking awesome!
gotta use imagination.lol That's awesome if there was a huge gun like that on the side of the aircraft carrier, but ur right about the transforming micromaster jet riding huge jet. I guess his jet mode is not so badass as the bigger one?
G1 Quickswitch, perhaps?
Overload is my favorite micromaster transport, na favorite micromaster.
and he would say "GUUUNS"
epic!
I had the aircraft carrier/plane doohickey as a small child, I think I picked it up from a car boot, but I thought he was pretty neat, and scale issues mean squat to a child who just wants to pretend kill some autobot scum.
Also, RIP to your Hammy, I have a pair of Russian Dwarf Hamsters myself (Wade and Wilson, who I use in my reviews) so I feel your pain sir.
Sam.
D'aww, what's the hammy's name?
what does this guy say at 1:10 ...the wings look a little bit...???. I always understood verloren what would fit and mean that he has bilingual skills and speaks perfect german!
reminds me of masterpiece Megatron. Turned into a gun yet comes with a gun. lolololroflrofl
very nice very nice indeed.
screw the toys I want the hamster
also the transports faster stronger and better armed
screw you me I want the toys
I thought it was a space shuttle at first :)

And you're like the son I never visit.
Quickswitch?
Nice vanhorso moment there, thew. Do you miss him as much as i do? ;_;

TDP =)
