The new line also being called "War For Cybertron" is confusing, but at least it's not "Robots In Disguise" again
BattleUp Saber to me it looks like a alternative timeline reboot. I'm not gonna hate on the new line though. It looks worthy to give a chance and I think the alt modes take a good balance of fresh inspiration and trying to remain in the old "War For Cybertron" feel. Megatron's alt mode for "War For Cybertron:Siege" has an appeal to me (no one else has the same opinion so it's okay) with it looking fresh and mixed with the game Megatron.
@GeneralGarbage I think the fact it's called War for Cybertron may be a good sign.
Anything in the franchise with More Than Meets the Eye in the title has been great whether it's the original G1 pilot, the Dreamwave profile books and James Roberts' excellent comic book series.
War for Cybertron was a great game so I'm optimistic about the new War for Cybertron series.
On the flipside, Transformers Robots in Disguise was a mostly terrible anime dub and the IDW Robots in Disguise comic book series was mostly poor.
@@clumsycombo2346 I like SIEGE Megatron's alt mode, too. But the robot mode is just boring to me. So I might get him when his price dropped but still unlikely. I prefer my WfC Takara Darkside Megatron.
I agree...originally robots in disguise was called car robots (and transformers 2000 in japan) but they changed it from car robots to robots in disguise because not every character in the line transformed into a car.
@@windsweeper8002 Roberts' MTMTE was good until it got to season 2 and became somewhat aimless. So no, not everything with that in the title is great.
"the smallest bean" that is the best description of Bumblebee *ever*
The "WFC Ambulon" bit actually had me cry "NO! TOO SOON!" out loud.
Lengthways.
Please tell me that "What in tarnation?" about Megatrons back having the decepticon insignia was an intended pun
It's THEW of all people. I'm chalking it up as "yes".
TARNation
Well that's odd. Somehow as I was watching this, a new tab somehow opened on by browser, jumped onto eBay and did a search for War for Cybertron Optimus figures. No idea how that happened, but it seems to happen a lot when I'm watching your videos.
what a freaky coincidence!
Megatron saying "Dark Energon" basically makes him like the "CHOCOLATE!!!" fish.
Quantum Surge with or without nuts?
@@theaverageclownhole3369 Yes.
Thank you for your patronage.
That Ambulon joke.............. oh no he diddin
He's good at making jokes lengthwise.
Thew half the effort to make a joke like that
Emmet Brickowski NO HAHAHA
These jokes. They cut deep, they do.
The first cut is the deepest, man
11:31 “...was, without a doubt, one of Bee’s least annoying incarnations, as a plucky and oddly bloodthirsty little danger scout...”
Who was also voiced by a Power Ranger.
And ichigo from bleach.

I'm pretty sure you could arrange all those dark Energons to Carol of the bells
I need this
I also need this
I just did it with my own voice, and even as the horrible singer I am holy crap do we need this
Guns'n Games 1226 me too
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking 😂
That "Dark Energon" medley... Amazing.
KINGDOM HEARTS! _Fill me... with the power of darkness...!_
steve blum stood out every time i heard it.
I kept half expecting to hear “Stark Enterprise” in there, just for shiggles
Dock Ena John
Dark energon
“I’m never reviewing another bumblebee again”
Well it was good while it lasted
Hello im from the future. Thew reviews more bumblebee in the future.
Why does everyone hate bumblebee
Shizuo Heiwajima because i guess he appears too much and has too much toys
DJ WAHTZ kinda disappointing to me cus he’s always been my favorite. And while he has a lot of toys, they’re all mediocre at best.
@@cowboybarbaryn1302 if you see someone too much, you *will* hate them
5:31 Okay, the first thing that came to my mind about Megatron's vehicle mode is that it vaguely resembles the Landmaster from the Star Fox games.
It's like Wolf's version from Smash Bros.
"I like squares." --Thew, 2018
"Megatron was saying Dark Energon a lot"
You mean YELLING?
You clearly don't know megatron, he was definitely whispering.
That doesn't even count all the times the same version of the character said it in the Prime Cartoon.
RayO1 makes sense
DAAAAARRRK ENERGOOOOOOOONNNN-a
12:33
Thew: "A model of a molecule"
Me: "I am the very model of a modern major molecule"
_
fun fact the voice actor for WFC Bumblebee is the same a the english voice actor for Ichigo and the Actor of Adam/Black Ranger from MMPR, also the Siege Line is a good excuse to re-release this toy, for those that had not gotten it
Voyager Soundwave is the best kind of “literally just an upgrade” to the small guy in this video, same design but cleaner with light piping, more color, better joints and feet
Oh yea and casset- I mean “Data-Discs”
I've noticed some details on each of these figures that are pretty relevant in the game these are based on. Starting with Megatron and the "hover tank" form. It's actually accurate to the games. If you went into vehicle mode and didn't hold down the left trigger, you entered a "hover mode" and you were able to strafe while using your vehicle's weapons. So thanks to the transformation you can actually accomplish that to an extent. c h o n k w a v e' s boombox mode was part of the autobot boss fight, bumblebee's arm blades are identical to his melee attack, and if you're looking for more of a squarey optimus, there is a toy of him based on the sequel game with a more "truck with no trailer look" Nice video, Thew.
8:10 I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING FOR LIKE A LITERAL HOUR AT HIS FACE REACTION
Great. Now "Energon" doesn't sound like a word to me anymore.
Ryan Bartido I mean, it isn’t
I've always had an issue with "Dark Energon". It implies malice but it isn't evil just because it's dangerous to consume. We call it "Sea Water", not "Evil Water".
But it's dark.
The autobot Scrappy Doo! Lol
But, you know, if Scrappy Doo was sometimes useful and didn't suck.
Wheelie is a better example.
LEMME AT 'EM!
Take a shot any time someone says Dark Energon
WASHED
Everyone loved the "unofficial" boombox mode when the figure came out.
Eeeyyyy, you used my figures! I'm glad you dig them (even if Bee was a bit shit in terms of transformation), and I'm glad they made your review shine all the more!
Surprised you didn't mention Prime does have the back-symbol. It's kinda buried, though, which is a shame. Unless you didn't know about it, in which case sorry about the UM ACTUALLY.
Anyway, man, was this a weird time to be a Transformers nerd. Weird but good.
He said it wasn’t present so he probably didn’t he know.
@@fun2building the gun has a slot that fits the little peg on the upturned roof in back. (you're welcome?)
I'm never gonna review a Bumblebee EVER AGAIN!
I’m pretty sure 200 is going to be nothing but Bumblebees. And a lot of them
By 2019 Hasbro will only be making Bumblebee figures
@@periclod1877 They've been doing that since 2010, where have YOU been?
@@sambutler953 2004
I give this review dark energons out of 10
"Megatron toys are always good," he says, ignoring Cyberverse and the weird kiddie movie toys.
He MENTIONED Cyberverse. Ultimate Class Megatron is a pretty good toy. Not the best but not bad.
LMAO! He went in on that Soundwave! I do have the WFC and the FOC versions though.
That bit at the end where literally the conversation is just "Dark Energon." "Dark Energon?" "Dark Energon."
That was bloody funny, hahaha
Pro tip: rid deluxe Prime's axe works surprisingly well for wfc prime, probably the best use of any rid toy
Im watching this on June 3, 2023, just as Studio Series WFC toys are hitting store shelves.
I was briefly confused by Thew's look, and by toys that havent even been announced yet. Then I realized I was watching an old video.
I'm too high for this.
Starting to sound like 'Talking to John' after a few loops :D
all this years and i still can't unsee the >___< on BBB's chest...
Thank you for ruining bumblebee's chest for me. That's a sentence i never thought I'd type...
>___
18:02 at least you didn’t call it a “clip”
In the words of Anita “Bangalore” Williams:
“Clips are what civvies use in their hair, this is called a magazine”
"Poumpy. It has the poump"
Best part of the vid
Soundwave looks like he's wearing flip flops. Now you can't unsee that either...
Reminds me of the Beast Wars Megatron "Yeesss" clips hahaha
16:40
Ah, the thing I've always loved about Prime, his abs.
“Fly ass cool uncle” is kind of thews whole vibe
"...for an 11.99'er"
OOOOHHHH I remember the days!
"What in TARNation?" Surprised you didn't go for that one back then :(
Am i the only one who can hear "Dark in a John" insted of Dark Energon?
Duck and a John
@@krishacz feck i cant unhear it now😂
i now regret donating these guys to charity .
Kinda cool detail Thew missed at 16:43 (which is easy enough); Optimus Prime actually does have that weird stylised Autobot logo on his back like in the game. However it's underneath all that kibbly junk. But if you move it
out of the way, the symbol is there sculpted in.
I've been watching your channel for like 8 months now and I only understand around 80% of the words you use. But I'm 100% sure you're enthusiastic about the toys so I like you.
Always great to see a new review from Thew.
I've had WFC Megatron for 8 years but I'm pretty sure I've never noticed the sculpted, stylised Decepticon insignia on his back until this review.
Or if I had, I've long forgotten. The curse of having a large collection is that many figures end up ignored or unappreciated.
I was so stoked to get the Thrilling 30 Legends class Bumblebee because it was basically WFC Bumblebee but in the right scale and with a descent transformation. Plus it was cool to have Blazemaster in there as a weird homage to Action Master Bee's Heli-pack. I can't tell you how frustrating it was to love that robot mode but hate playing with the actual figure.
Oh, and Optimus does have the Autobadge on his back. It's just covered up by panels, so you only get to see in the middle of transforming him.
Thank you for taking us back in time to enjoy these toys again, the WFC line really was something. As ever Thew, keep up the great work!
It is nice to hear Peter Cullens Optimus not be bloodthirsty lol
Solid Snake: "Uhhhh, Dark Energon?"
Prime does have his badge on his back, it's on his back cover up by the front bit
*D A R K E N E R G O N*
Near Bumblebee's wrists, there are tabs that go into slots on his shoulders. This helps with making the vehicle mode more smooth.
In the wfc games, when you boost in alt. Mode it turns the alt. Mode into a sort of hovercraft, which is probably why megatron's treads tuck in
If you can get it, the Voyager version of that soundwave is probably the coolest thing ever with how he launches the little guys from his chest and how he has actual working lightpiping. Lol
Having JUST got the figure, I only now realized that Megatron has the Armada bug jaw thing going on! Best figure ever, 10/10, too much dark energon.
14:50 that was so british 😂😂
I *SNORTED* at WFC Ambulon, I always laugh at your videos, but my laughter went simultaneously "awww :(" and full pig at that. Kudos, Thew, the wait was well worth it.
The neat thing about WFC Soundwave is it was kind of a grimdark war-man take on his Animated SUV self.
That's what I like about your reviews, you take figures people have forgotten about and make them interesting again. Thanks.
Man I loved this line! Thanks for the review! I'm sure I was so in love due to the fact it was 2010 and there really wasn't much great in the world of Transformers then. The games were amazing and it's a shame we'll never see another from the wonderful High Moon Studios. Great stuff!
"D A R K E N E R G O N" XD
Awesome review. Hopefully we can see recent Studio Series Gamer Edition reviews soon?
loving the work you did with cut aways dude, nice job
17:51 Rip Ambulon "he had to split"
Jazz: hey that's my thing!
I always wanted more of the figures from this series, but I only managed to get Starscream (though to be fair, it's one of my all-time favorite Starscream designs). DID manage to get the recent Studio Series Megatron based on the game, though.
So "Carol of the Bells" Dark Energon edition when
"The autobot scrappy doo" left me on the fucking FLOOR man I'm dead 😂
"Big Bad Beetleback" was that a refence to Big Bad Beetleborgs?! and Damn Thew no holding back any of your signature jokes in this one X)
Blue Music Label Soundwave is the best deluxe G1 Soundwave... If not the only deluxe G1 Soundwave!
will you be putting up the name cards on patreon? i could go for that soundwave as a wallpaper
Yeah man, I'll be doing a full gallery this weekend!
Great review Thew! Loved these toys when I was a lad. I had all of them!

"Drives me mad to see it wasted"
lol nice Hunger TF movie song reference
17:50 that joke really hurt. *Really* hurt.
Love the effort you put in your vids, can tell that you enjoy what you do, it’s brilliant.
“Drives me mad to see it wasted”
I see what you did there!
Thumbs Up For you you showed the mallard on screen I slowly start to cry inside everytime I think about kids never knowing about steam trains like we know of them
I have the us version of Optimus, and he is all wibbly now from how often I transformed him. The top/front bits can get a touch fiddly, but I can absolutely confirm the absolute fun that it is to transform him. there is a feel and a vibe there that is just top notch. XD
I think Soundwave deserves a standalone movie. Maybe a spin-off from Bumblebee with the G1 Bayverse designs...
The effort you put into this really shows mate! Loved it thanks again
WFC BBB is the only BBB toy I own--and I love it. It's also the only BBB toy I've ever wanted TO own because of how much I like everything about it
I'm only 16, but that's the only sound wave I ever owned. I got a ten dollar Walmart gift card in second grade and I got this guy on sale! Love him to bits and won't ever get rid of him. Not even when I pick up the new siege one!
"There's the skinny wingy whatever thingy and then there's the chunky wheely whatever dealy." THIS, thew. This is what I'm here. God damned brilliant.
I love the cheeky head bang while he transformed the optimus
Soundwave his wheels look like a pay to win currency in a free to play mobile game :')
WFC Cliffjumper is one of my top 50 fav Autobot figs. :)
Wow four reviews for the price of one! This video was wall-to-wall awesome and you're making me miss these figures and the game. I only had Soundwave out of these four but I enjoyed him a lot despite all the flaws you pointed out, which are valid complaints. I still regret never getting this megatron and prime, but I got the FoC ones which were also good.
Thank you for always being so damn inspiring with your great work. Just keep doing you bud!
Anyone in 2019? Anyone want a Studio Series pile of these designs?
My Bumblebee has not held up over the years. Almost every single joint is loose, but his design is just so neat.
Oh how I have missed a badass review from Thew!
Those name showcase sequences were flipping top tier dawg
Omg, this is the first Thew video I've ever seen and you're my new favorite thing. Freakin' hilarious man. WFC/FoC were and still are my absolute jam. By far my favorite version of the Transformers, I'm still sad we never got a proper sequel... Dark Spark will never, ever count...
Dark Energon is the "nanomachines" of Transformers: War for Cybertron
Oh, damn it. As soon as Thew said "Art Deco," I suddenly wanted a WFC Optimus.
This gotta be one of my favourite games of all time it’s soooo good
These War For Cybertron figures look great! Especially with the paint. I can't tell if they're re-tools or new molds though.
Hi Thew. American here. That is a side mounted magazine. A+
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who appreciates when Fred Tatasciore says “Dark Energon.”
And I think Optimus’s weapon is supposed to be a Neutron Assault Rifle, which despite being the most common default weapon, wasn’t actually Optimus’ weapon, but it functioned very similarly.
Ok so I know I’m late to say this, but I love those character intros you did and I’d possibly like to see more in the future
