I swear that there's no single time where I go there to read a bio of one obscure Transformer, and then 3 hours later I find myself reading the bio of Michiyamenotehi Funana.
Your Megatronia vid is probably one of the best reviews you've done. Production value and the pure enthusiasm are top notch. I need to find one now too!
As always, a pleasure seeing you again. I spent most of the weekend hiding in hotel rooms so I might need to push it out big style next year. Thanks for the words on RRCo.
TFNation this year was a blast. First time going and returning next year in full force. Been a pleasure meeting you, even if you were a bit wrecked. Take care lad!
Great haul Thew, you are certainly loved and appreciated by everyone in the Transformers community for your contribution to the fandom. Really gutted I didn't get to chat with you and hang out. I can't help but smile and laugh with you on your videos, so naturally hilarious
Glad you enjoyed the brown box of delights from our brief meeting just before your panel (thanks for answering my question on crossovers with Transformers and other toy lines😉). I got Snarl just to make up for the fact I couldn't source Spinister's other Target master partner, thanks for the mention in the video! 😀
By far my favourite TH-camr now. I'm a collector myselff from the rustic days of G1 and myself and my much better half play in rock and metal bands. Thank you for the content good sir. Till All Are Bum.
16:37 That big blue car that Jeremy gave you is Hello Carbot Grandeur Hawk he's a 1:23 scale model of a licenced Hyundai Gandeur from season 1 of the Show, only a handful of Western people have reviewed this toy me and Benscollectables included, with your backlog I doubt you'll ever get around to reviewing it... also Toyworld Coolsville nails the G1 toy aesthetic in both modes but it's an absolute nightmare to transform... 😖
Say, is that the original Machine Robo name? I'm so ashamed that I think I need to have a black mark put on my nerd card or something...but I only know it by its GoBots name, Monsterous.
Pretty sure that Glyph is from Impossible Toys' MiniCar line, since I got their Goldbug at my own con last weekend. My initial reaction to it was that it's a bit crap, but it's started to warm up on me, while my opinion of the MP Grimlock I also got has been going down, curiously.
Hahahaha, an amazing haul. Would love to attend a TF con sometime in my life. Oh gawd, those Galaxy Shifters, haha. My sister recently bought her kid one of those things and I told her it was a piece of knock off rubbish. It was broken within the hour, I couldn't stop laughing. I checked out the box and only laughed harder when I saw it was sold by Funtastic and remembered one of your skits from a previous Beatdown episode.
Aside from a linewide lack of bicep and thigh swivels, Hello Carbots are excellent toys. Good transformations, great size, great build quality. I suspect you're going to like it.
"Convention Crud" I feel ya man. Went to a convention last Saturday and I've had a nasty headcold ever since. Started with a building sore throat over the course of the next day, developed nasty congestion, fever and a headache over the next couple days. Worst of it's passed, but I'm still a bit congested with a nasty cough. Hope you're feeling better!
It bites that TF conventions can be near me, like bus dive away. This kind of places would be my TF heaven. Other then that, you get quite the haul from TFNation, Thew.
You might have to start doing what Terry Pratchett used to do at conventions. When he put a certain hat on he became just an average convention goer and people knew to give him space. A great idea!
I actually love those little static figures from that blind bag you got (Having a braindead moment and can't remember the proper name). I use them in my D&D games as armored knights or large metal golums/constructs.
That's the Micromaster Sports Car Patrol. They tricked Ratchet into working for Megatron in the Marvel comics, the Pretender Starscream story arc. The black and gold one is Blackjack, who was redone in Combiner Wars as the car drone chestplate of Menasor.
Excellent haul,man. I too love me some Go Bots. Yea we need to see your bio on your figure dude.Also,its good to hear that the Maas toys are good. That blue version looks the best.
Sounds like you had a fantastic time. Are you gonna review any of the figures you got? Really wanna see Cybertron Megatron or Titans Return Blitzwing. I also want to see Atax or Godzilla on Toygrind. Also, does that little robo that transforms into an X count as an X-transbot?
You were close. Hyperdrive is the blue one, then there's Detour (yellow), Road Hugger (purple), and Blackjack (self-explanatory). Also, is that Riker on one of the boxes in the background?
Hello Carbot is by Sonokong, who once acted as Takara-Tomys intermediary in South Korea. The toys seem a bit like a modern-era Brave toyline might be like, especially in the combining sets.
man, that Goldran figure, so shiny that it's tempting my soul to hunt for one in mint condition, probably better off finding it in some toy store that sells vintage stuff in Japan or something.
I'm terribly sorry I didn't get the chance to properly talk to you during the weekend, but as ever Thew it was lovely to finally get the chance to see you again. Plus I enjoyed your panel :D
22:15 In case no one else has said this already (I've scrolled through 3 pages and nothing) the red GoBot is - as Thew surmised - a combiner. 6 monster bad guys combine into Monsterous. It's a super cool figure IMO.
It's cool to see a convention from another side! It's very reaffirming to see the TF community has such good heart. Also is that a sneaky Dirt Boss figure I see in the background there?
I've got a Cybertron Megatron, and I have to say, it's one of the most badass TF toys ever made. It's like an evil Batmobile that transformers into Satan, with some G1 Galvatron and Armada Unicron references thrown in for good measure. What could be cooler than that? I've got the Happy Meal toys to. They're... well, they're something aren't they?
Big thumbs up for this video because of the oversized Megatron figure and Thew's very own action figure. Only a matter of time before he got the action figure treatment like Emgo and Sean Long did. Who's next? Optibotimus? Epic Voice Guy? Can't wait until they get their own figures, too.
Not to mention the TF community has the greatest wiki of all time.
And then there's the wikiA that blatantly copies and pastes information from tfwiki.
Danial Shamshuddin
Yeah,but let's be honest,everything that gets really big has one of THOSE wikis.
CookieMastah
Yeah. My knowledge of the franchise has legit increased about 569% in the last couple of months because of that.
Godzilla 123 all so very true I remember my first time in botcon and everyone was so cool
I swear that there's no single time where I go there to read a bio of one obscure Transformer, and then 3 hours later I find myself reading the bio of Michiyamenotehi Funana.
20:55 I honestly can't hear "SH Figure Arts Godzilla" without also invoking an asian batman. In swivel we trust.
SWIVELS!!!!!(God bless jobby)
SWIVEL HEAR!!!!!!
Swivel
How come the Thew action figure doesn't have light piping?
Chef Excellence
To be fair,humans typically don't have eyes that can light up.
Hopefully the Takara version will fix that.
OmegaRattrap papi jobby?
Glasses&Mouthplates
Maybe.But I really feel this figure was just released to keep the fans happy until Titans Return Thewtress Mathewmus drops.
_An excellent point._
Please show off more of that custom action figure of your self. I would love to see what your bio is on the back of the card.
I just realized thew's beard looks like bulkhead's jaw
Can't unsee
He needed that!
Prime or animated
Either, he looks pretty similar in both. Mainly animated.
I just noticed
Man, it's so great seeing you so happy all the time. Especially after a con. It always brightens my day.
Fun fact on the little black car micromaster thats actually the origin of combiner wars blackjack
The figure that was originally meant to be based on Runabout.
Andrew just looks like the next evolution of Thew and I love it.
Your Megatronia vid is probably one of the best reviews you've done. Production value and the pure enthusiasm are top notch. I need to find one now too!
Oh god, that Thew figure. I laughed out loud when I saw that.
18:07 And Diamondbolt screams at the top of his lungs :P
The Galvatron is actually an upscaled KO of the DX9 War in Pocket Tyrant.
I love how you can just feel great watching your videos. Glad you had another amazing time!!
As always, a pleasure seeing you again. I spent most of the weekend hiding in hotel rooms so I might need to push it out big style next year. Thanks for the words on RRCo.
TFNation this year was a blast. First time going and returning next year in full force. Been a pleasure meeting you, even if you were a bit wrecked. Take care lad!
Man TF nation sounds like a blast
Hope it can start up again next year maybe cuz I’d love to go now I’ve gotten back into the franchise!
10:00 those are still available. I saw them in the Hillsborough B&M last month!
20:02 Yay, candy from my homecountry
Yay for Kexchoklad! =)
Great haul Thew, you are certainly loved and appreciated by everyone in the Transformers community for your contribution to the fandom. Really gutted I didn't get to chat with you and hang out. I can't help but smile and laugh with you on your videos, so naturally hilarious
Glad you enjoyed the brown box of delights from our brief meeting just before your panel (thanks for answering my question on crossovers with Transformers and other toy lines😉). I got Snarl just to make up for the fact I couldn't source Spinister's other Target master partner, thanks for the mention in the video! 😀
I remember when I picked up my Cybertron Megs, I got him, ROTF Prime, and an in-package Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime, all from that one shop.
Everyone needs a thew action figure..... Needs a mini skywarp as an accessory
14:17 omg.. I have not thought about that tankdude since I was like 5 years old. I need to find myself one of those.
By far my favourite TH-camr now. I'm a collector myselff from the rustic days of G1 and myself and my much better half play in rock and metal bands. Thank you for the content good sir. Till All Are Bum.

I need that TF Animated book. I really hope one finds its way onto eBay in the near future.
Holy cow, I have one of those 'Salvation in One' arm dudes. Twelve years and I now know what the darn thing is.
Hi mate, Jeremy here. TFNation has been a blast this year and it was so great meeting you there. That is one hell of a haul you got there!
You know you made it in life when you have an action figure of yourself. thumbs up that Thew
Gasp! '90s Stalker! What a great toy.. you have to review it!
I still remember his motto; "Hate till it hurts.. then hate some more."
22:26 the gobot is Heart Attack or something...combines to form the rather fantastical pan daemonic, DEVIL SATAN SIX!
Say, is that the original Machine Robo name? I'm so ashamed that I think I need to have a black mark put on my nerd card or something...but I only know it by its GoBots name, Monsterous.
Massive love and hugs, Thewnicron. I'll hopefully make it to a future TFNation with the family for fun times, see you there ;)

That Lois impression is SPOT ON!!!
So envious of that Stalker, Blitzwing and Octane! Just so you know chief, those Micromasters are a complete team. Deception sports car patrol. ☺️
Aside from a linewide lack of bicep and thigh swivels, Hello Carbots are excellent toys. Good transformations, great size, great build quality. I suspect you're going to like it.
Ive got the Rook and the Streetwise knock off's such feckin greatness... love it
That custom figure is amazing, lucky boy. Wish I could have been there
Great to see you mate!
"Convention Crud"
I feel ya man. Went to a convention last Saturday and I've had a nasty headcold ever since. Started with a building sore throat over the course of the next day, developed nasty congestion, fever and a headache over the next couple days. Worst of it's passed, but I'm still a bit congested with a nasty cough. Hope you're feeling better!
It was great seeing you there Thew! The queue for your panel was absolutely as mental as you said, shame I couldn't get in ;__;
It bites that TF conventions can be near me, like bus dive away. This kind of places would be my TF heaven. Other then that, you get quite the haul from TFNation, Thew.
I would kill for a Thew Adams figure.
No way there's a Thew figure...
*update:* No friggin' way...
cool pic of my Nova Prime costume. think I remember you taking it. thanks.
You might have to start doing what Terry Pratchett used to do at conventions. When he put a certain hat on he became just an average convention goer and people knew to give him space. A great idea!
I actually love those little static figures from that blind bag you got (Having a braindead moment and can't remember the proper name). I use them in my D&D games as armored knights or large metal golums/constructs.
The "Salvation In One" thing is a KO of the Police Robo set from "Machine Robo Rescue", so Thew was almost there.
Blue Bumblebee?
Bluemblebee!
Bumbleblue
Bumbluebee
Bluemblueblue
That's the Micromaster Sports Car Patrol. They tricked Ratchet into working for Megatron in the Marvel comics, the Pretender Starscream story arc. The black and gold one is Blackjack, who was redone in Combiner Wars as the car drone chestplate of Menasor.
You've got to review that Cybertron Megatron dude.
You got your wish!
Excellent haul,man. I too love me some Go Bots. Yea we need to see your bio on your figure dude.Also,its good to hear that the Maas toys are good. That blue version looks the best.
Sounds like you had a fantastic time. Are you gonna review any of the figures you got? Really wanna see Cybertron Megatron or Titans Return Blitzwing. I also want to see Atax or Godzilla on Toygrind. Also, does that little robo that transforms into an X count as an X-transbot?
Hot Toys Thew, please.
Quantum Surge Make Legends Skywarp an accessory!!!
You're welcome mate, and you're right, this community is awesome :)
You were close. Hyperdrive is the blue one, then there's Detour (yellow), Road Hugger (purple), and Blackjack (self-explanatory).

Hello Carbot is by Sonokong, who once acted as Takara-Tomys intermediary in South Korea.
The toys seem a bit like a modern-era Brave toyline might be like, especially in the combining sets.
I found the Takara version of Cybertron Megatron at The Space Bridge at this year's TFNation. What a coincidence!
You know you've made it when someone walks upto you and gives you your own action figure
Kexchoklad is probably one of the most popular candy/chocolatewhatevers in sweden. Fun to see it
man, that Goldran figure, so shiny that it's tempting my soul to hunt for one in mint condition, probably better off finding it in some toy store that sells vintage stuff in Japan or something.
I'm terribly sorry I didn't get the chance to properly talk to you during the weekend, but as ever Thew it was lovely to finally get the chance to see you again. Plus I enjoyed your panel :D
You got a Tiny Titans G1 Optimus Prime figurine from that blind bag. Tiny Titans blind bag figurines are like tiny rubbery statues.
I briefly said hi a few times dude but like you I was on it all weekend and just can't wait till next year!
That Energon or what Megatron which turns into a car is so cool! I saw it in person once and really want it, just it's damned expensive!
22:15 In case no one else has said this already (I've scrolled through 3 pages and nothing) the red GoBot is - as Thew surmised - a combiner. 6 monster bad guys combine into Monsterous. It's a super cool figure IMO.
i remember having a salvation in one, i think,but it broke so i threw it away,ages ago
It's cool to see a convention from another side! It's very reaffirming to see the TF community has such good heart.
Also is that a sneaky Dirt Boss figure I see in the background there?
Hey you can find those letter bots at the Lakeshore learning store! I didn't even now people liked em lol
RID Stormshot kinda looks like Dogfight, don't you think? With the striped wings and the colour scheme...
Thew Builds with the upgrade kit potentially in the future?
Can you review all the things you got?
"Good ol'time with my chums"
This is the reason you go to cons. Well, that and buying exclusives.
I believe the Ultra Magnus with no paint or glass is the Canadian release.
Iron Factory hasn't made a Galvatron yet. Is that a knock off from the FUTURE?!?!
It's actually a KO of Tyrant, from DX9's "War in Pocket" line, the other prominent series of 3P Legends-scale toys.
I've got a Cybertron Megatron, and I have to say, it's one of the most badass TF toys ever made. It's like an evil Batmobile that transformers into Satan, with some G1 Galvatron and Armada Unicron references thrown in for good measure. What could be cooler than that?
I've got the Happy Meal toys to. They're... well, they're something aren't they?
Is that a 1990s Star Trek: The Next Gereation Commander Riker figure I see on your shelves?
omg I see it.make it so
It's nice to get a mention as that really pale guy. I am really pale so you are accurate
Very nice, man. Hope you feel better. And when you do, time for another 10 shots 10 KO's bit. lol.
18:20
I think those are knockoff versions of some Diarobo toys, tiny robos based on licensed cars, there's even a T-rex that turns into an ambulance
Big thumbs up for this video because of the oversized Megatron figure and Thew's very own action figure. Only a matter of time before he got the action figure treatment like Emgo and Sean Long did. Who's next? Optibotimus? Epic Voice Guy? Can't wait until they get their own figures, too.
the black and gold mricomaster is black jack i have him as well
My dream was always to visit a BotCon some day, but since that's clearly not possible anymore, I might adjust that dream to visit TFNation instead.
Skywarp wants a beatdown and so do i
Holy shit, I wanna know what the bio says on the back of the Thew box! :D
Gutted that I missed TF Nation. Hopefully next year...
why didn't he get some one to make a tiny Skywarp to give you as an acesory?
23:01 I own that mini-figure, it's a neat little display piece.
I want that Optimus....as if you would send it all that way, haha.
I hope to see Atax and Thew-ction FIgure on toygrind!
Oh god, hello carbot? I saw that when I was in Korea. The show looked like 3D rescue bots.
that godzilla is the Final Wars version! i know i have that figure too! lol
Please review Snow Cat! He's my favourite Energon figure.
'I'll pop that out later and make friends with it' ok then.....
Black and gold micromaster is Blackjack.
Where did you get the Prowl shirt from?
That is MogeGoji from the films Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla(1994) and Godzilla vs Destoroyah(1995)
I'm far too young to be watching this but I love it
your welcome thew hope you enjoy them
23:53 ... are you going to play with yourself Thew? :)
