Normally, when I see sponsorships on RUclips I just skip through them with an eye roll. But with Thew I am just so happy he has sponsors now and watch them to let the sponsors know they backed a real one. Proud of you Thew!!! MAN OF THE PEOPLE!!!
The reason Skywarp's package looks a bit weird is because it was part of a lottery type event that you could participate in when going to some convenience stores in Japan. You can see the big "C" on the package meaning it was the C prize.
I feel the sands of time, realizing I started watching you around Prime Cliffjumper and CHUG Warpath that's 10 years ago. I was 17 at the time and dang, what a ride its been
That Arcee from around 17:00 is real, and despite how cheap it is I will give it the fact that is has one of the best representations of Arcee's car mode as a toy
I think g1 warpath was my fave childhood minibot, child me thought his transformation was simple but genius. I’m glad you’re getting back to sone smaller eps, those are always great! Less of an undertaking for you. And I find shorter eps more rewatch-able.
It's always fun to hear how others discovered a channel. I don't remember why, but like 5-7 years ago I was looking up videos of Cybertron Scourge, found Thew's review, and got immediately hooked.
Use super glue 😉 the arm will go on fine. Fantastic video! Massive fanboy vibes watching you open my box first 😝 thank you for all the kind words and I'll see you around wastelander.
oh good, it's very pleasing to know Blueshift's still kicking around :D haven't heard from him in ages! and I suppose no surprise you know him by name!
Thew picked right day to upload vid as my weekend has started today. I admit I was bit expecting Thew giving thought on Toxitron Collection that was revealed few weeks back.
I have just gotten the best idea for a transformers collab. Transformers X Simpsons Remember that one treehouse of horror or whatever episode it was that had Optimus Prime be Homers pink sedan and Megatron as Flanders Geo Metro? I think that would make a great two pack. The main, most recognizable transformer characters as boring old normal cars.
I got a G1 Warpath from ToyFu's Jan stream in 2021 to go with Kingdom Warpath & it is certainly not bad but considering that the only other G1 Minibot that I own is Brawn, Warpath is impressive by comparison. Also, I'd thought that companies would've figured out affordable UV resistant plastics by this day & age but no
For that Badlands Fury, if the figure isn't articulated, you might be able to drill a small hole in the center of the arm on both ends where the break meets, find a metal rod you can insert into the hole to act as a brace and then glue the arm onto the metal rod. Just make sure the rod is only as long as the depth of the holes to the arm can meet back where it broke. I do this for lots of figures and as long as you're careful, you won't be able to tell it broke. ..or just meet up with the bloke that made it and have him fix it since you're so close to where he lives, lol.
... I just had the strangest sense of Deja Vu seeing that Skywarp... I *swear* I've seen Thew unbox that exact thing, and say the exact same thing about never opening it, a few months ago. How odd.
16:20 so that is an official arcee, same line as that ratchet like you thought. i have two of them. came from five and below i have no clue what line it is but they have quite a few bots in it that ratchet was actually my first transformer and the wheel is missing 💀
Hi I've been watching you for a long time and I love your videos. I think a good name for the blue warpath would be peace-treads to go with the theme of War and peace. Because when I imagine a blue war path I think he would be villainous but have like a Greenland,Iceland type of motif with warpath. Good vs evil but names swapped LOL
Cool video! Thank you! And I'd like to ask any fellow collectors who are reading this a question, if I may... When Thew describes his dream about the Blue Warpath, starting about the 8:20 mark, it reminded me of something my collecting buddies back in Ohio and I referred to as "The Toy Store Dream," and it seems to be very common among collectors in NE Ohio, so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it? THE TOY STORE DREAM: You're usually (but not always) in a department store, or a toy store. You are surrounded by all the toys you've ever wanted, but never had -- whether they were actual rare items from your childhood, or cool stuff that only ever existed in your wildest dreams. Everything is free, or on sale for buy one, get ten free, or everything's a penny. You reach out to pluck your grail item from the peg . . . and then you wake up, feeling inexpliably DEVASTATED by not actually having that toy in your hands. (Or you've filled up your shopping cart, and are about to check out, and you wake up, empty-handed, feeling inexplicably devastated.) Any other collectors have that dream, or something similar?
It was absolutely tiny, but the only place I felt comfortable in cos the other pubs played nothing but really bad pop music. Never knew Thew was from Tamuff! Yay!
@MudSluggerBP Well, I started going in when I was 17, so...1992. Back then, as long as you didn't cause trouble and kept your head down, they'd let you have a few pints. I remember they sold "Diesel" (half a pint of lager and half a pint of Cider in one pint glass with blackcurrant cordial) xD
Make a name? Oh no, my D&D brain is starting! What's his character? His VIBE? What name would suit his blue nature!? If I break my overload I'm definately submitting one.
As someone from the netherlands. Those bootlegs are ALL we get nowadays in regular toy stores😢. We need to import or get our mainline stuff from specialty shops.
That's quickshadow. Just with like everything changed except the transformation scheme. That's a bit weird. The heck is that arcee tho? I'm equally baffled by that TFA skywarp since it looks too small for the voyager but too big for the activator.
9:48 That Blue Warpath honestly looks cool & kinda cute, I wonder what their name could be?? 🤔 13:41 Heyy, that blue police boy's head looks like Legacy Animated Prowl's! Thats interesting. Edit: Thew, for the next video, are you gonna say what Blue Warpath's name is (obviously after they get a proper name)??
Normally, when I see sponsorships on RUclips I just skip through them with an eye roll. But with Thew I am just so happy he has sponsors now and watch them to let the sponsors know they backed a real one. Proud of you Thew!!! MAN OF THE PEOPLE!!!
Same
That Gaslands mech is putting out some serious MEGAS XLR vibes and I am totally here for it. Looks so rad!
Chicks dig giant robots, dudes dig giant robots.
The reason Skywarp's package looks a bit weird is because it was part of a lottery type event that you could participate in when going to some convenience stores in Japan. You can see the big "C" on the package meaning it was the C prize.
Agreed. I have that Activators Skywarp and it's a great figure. Have it displayed on my bookshelf next to Starscream and Thundercracker plus Megatron.
Ive seen a few gundam with the same thing. Haven't participated myself.
I feel the sands of time, realizing I started watching you around Prime Cliffjumper and CHUG Warpath that's 10 years ago. I was 17 at the time and dang, what a ride its been
That Arcee from around 17:00 is real, and despite how cheap it is I will give it the fact that is has one of the best representations of Arcee's car mode as a toy
As Thew assumed, it is indeed the Authentics figure.
I have seen that Authentics Arcee at a store called 5 Below in Sacramento. She is $5 usd. I keep meaning to pick one up.
@@Aggrosj that's where I got mine
@@Aggrosj I got mine at Dollar General. I don't think Thew has her pistol, which does peg in the slot on her trunk.
Rune + Random = Runedom...?
That Gaslands Robot looks great. The Roadsign weapon is inspired.
Love the Brummy accent.
Such a great minibot repaint!
The metric of YT entertainment is when you don't skip the sponsorship ad bit. Good job, Thew.
I think g1 warpath was my fave childhood minibot, child me thought his transformation was simple but genius. I’m glad you’re getting back to sone smaller eps, those are always great! Less of an undertaking for you. And I find shorter eps more rewatch-able.

Using the fury gives a Christine vibe. a great idea for a fan created transformer if y’all know what Christine is.
It's the right year too.😎
Great movie
Papa Thew gettin' the sponsors, love to see the success!
Always a good day when Mr. Thew graces us with a video
Thunderbird. That is the name of X-men Warpath’s brother.
5% phone power, spending it all on you, Thew ❤
Can't miss a good vid here from the robot man with the beard
The Hellblade reminds me of Megas XLR
tht blue warpath is accualy kinda cool
I have that Authentics Ratchet. I plan on repainting him to resemble the Mystery Machine of Scooby Doo fame.
Use super glue 😉 the arm will go on fine.
Fantastic video! Massive fanboy vibes watching you open my box first 😝 thank you for all the kind words and I'll see you around wastelander.
The 58 Plymouth Fury is most well know as the car in Stephen King's "Christine".
Blue warpath I shall forever refer to as battle stack. Like a stack of battleberry pancakes
In a lot of cases, exclusive repaints/remolds/variants are packaged in a monochromatic boxes. It's a Japanese thing.
I hate waiting, but I absolutely love it when we get 2 videos in a week from everyone's favorite joyful Brit!
I think Shattered Glass Warpath is blue, coincidentally.
I'd call the blue warpath, Shellcase
That hellblade statue gives off massive Megas XLR vibes.
Kinda want one.
Congratulations on getting sponsored Thew! It's also good to see another video, it gets a bit boring orbiting the moon 24/7
oh good, it's very pleasing to know Blueshift's still kicking around :D haven't heard from him in ages! and I suppose no surprise you know him by name!
those hands can be used as pseudo combiner wars ports
17:24 - it's a Takara Tomy lottery prize.
That is straight up megas xlr 😂 love it
Thew in 2009: *makes Unicron do the middle finger*
Thew in 2023: who made Megatron do the middle finger? That's very naughty!
Character development?
I suspect it is phenolic yellowing on the nylon parts due to the more open packaging leaving the toy exposed to lower quality plastics in transit.
They sell that Arcee at RiteAid in the US. One of those drug stores like Walgreens.
Thew picked right day to upload vid as my weekend has started today.
I admit I was bit expecting Thew giving thought on Toxitron Collection that was revealed few weeks back.
it IS the authentics Arcee! Love that figure, it's such a fun pocket toy
That is a cute little Ratchet!
I have just gotten the best idea for a transformers collab.
Transformers X Simpsons
Remember that one treehouse of horror or whatever episode it was that had Optimus Prime be Homers pink sedan and Megatron as Flanders Geo Metro? I think that would make a great two pack. The main, most recognizable transformer characters as boring old normal cars.
Imagine a blue war for Cybertron war path now that would be great
I vote Ka-Bluey! for the name
I got a G1 Warpath from ToyFu's Jan stream in 2021 to go with Kingdom Warpath & it is certainly not bad but considering that the only other G1 Minibot that I own is Brawn, Warpath is impressive by comparison.
Also, I'd thought that companies would've figured out affordable UV resistant plastics by this day & age but no
I would love to get some of those Warpaths, but can only find the charity auctions currently going for hundreds :(
That Arcee is the new Authentics one, there's some reviews on here already I think.
For that Badlands Fury, if the figure isn't articulated, you might be able to drill a small hole in the center of the arm on both ends where the break meets, find a metal rod you can insert into the hole to act as a brace and then glue the arm onto the metal rod. Just make sure the rod is only as long as the depth of the holes to the arm can meet back where it broke.

Thew is so entertaining that’s probably the best sponsorship bit I’ve ever seen
Hasbro's yellowing white plastics is a serious issue as in even if never exposed them to sunlight or any light source they still turn yellow.
Ladies and gentleman, the successor to GPS, YELLOWING PLASTIC SYNDROME!
It's always great to see a dammit open video. For some reason I see Thew as good ol Ironhide.
I found Thew during the great Transmetal Megatron info search of aught 10 and been addicted ever since.
I love YoTH Prime, Bling Bling Prime, was my first MP-10.
All I can think of for your warpath is Thewberry lol😅
I love how you sneak references into your speech that only a few people will get.
Why yes, I did say Whomp-Whomp.
possibly best sponsored thing ever. also tam tam!!! i used to live by wilnecote oooooooo (privacy!!!)
as someone from the Birmingham area I was chuckling when he was talking about all the Birmingham places
I would LOVE to buy a purple warpath!?!
I dub the cute blue boy........Peace Trail
or if you wanna not go kinda opposites call him Battle Lane
Thew makes me wanna paint my nails.
21:02
Hehe Vic viper is the ship from gradius/robot from zone of the enders
Actually one of the small cyberverse staracreams is based on him
... I just had the strangest sense of Deja Vu seeing that Skywarp... I *swear* I've seen Thew unbox that exact thing, and say the exact same thing about never opening it, a few months ago. How odd.
I’m late on the naming thing. But my name would be skybomb
Nice one thew! We appreciate your content up top 🤜
Excellent video! Thanks for always being entertaining! You never disappoint!
16:20 so that is an official arcee, same line as that ratchet like you thought. i have two of them. came from five and below i have no clue what line it is but they have quite a few bots in it
that ratchet was actually my first transformer and the wheel is missing 💀
I entered without even realising there was a prize xD
That is a great warpath the color reminds me of throttlebot Freeway.

That blue Warpath is Thewmazing! I want one. I wish they were commercially available and not a short run custom.
Homestar reference earns a comment!
Cool video! Thank you! And I'd like to ask any fellow collectors who are reading this a question, if I may...

Any chance we get a warpath retrospective?
That Arcee is sold in our 5Below shops in the States. Sadly it is licensed but it's quality is terrible as you know.
Hope to see some of you guys at TFNation this coming week!
Cool take is a good name
I used to go clubbing at a place called Rockwells in Tamworth, was a really cool, small metal club 🤟🏻
It was absolutely tiny, but the only place I felt comfortable in cos the other pubs played nothing but really bad pop music. Never knew Thew was from Tamuff! Yay!
@@aquilanusUK me either lol, when did you frequent it? I used to go in the early 90s
@MudSluggerBP Well, I started going in when I was 17, so...1992. Back then, as long as you didn't cause trouble and kept your head down, they'd let you have a few pints. I remember they sold "Diesel" (half a pint of lager and half a pint of Cider in one pint glass with blackcurrant cordial) xD
@@aquilanusUK I was 18 in 92 lol, probably bumped into you back then, as I tended to throw myself about a lot 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Make a name? Oh no, my D&D brain is starting! What's his character? His VIBE? What name would suit his blue nature!?
If I break my overload I'm definately submitting one.
To be fair, I found y'all from Megatronia and Titans Return... I wanna say Quake? No, not even, it was Nitro Zeus!
You've been looking good these days!❤
I’m from Lichfield (Lich Vegas) and when you mention all those places it felt so surreal 😂😂
I have that Arcee, I bought it for 5 bucks at a Dollar General which is a more than a dollar store, but not exactly a retail store.
That hellblade just screams MegasXLR you should check it out
Right Tred Fred!
Revenge of the Fallen Tankor is that shade of blue.
I can think many names for this blue Warpath but judge call him Greg
Even Thew’s ads are entertaining. More please :-)
THEW GOT A SPONSOR! MY BOY IS MOVING UP!
YES Dordon finally gets a mention on RUclips noice noice noice great local content Thew
Huh, never in my life did I think of seeing a Smurf-colored Warpath one day.
War smurf
BOOM! This vid is Warpath approved!
Ah a Thew video. That'll cheer me up a bit
Always a good day when thew does a damn it open
2023 isn't great for me tbh but uncle thew always helps
As someone from the netherlands. Those bootlegs are ALL we get nowadays in regular toy stores😢.
We need to import or get our mainline stuff from specialty shops.
Unexpected videos are tight 😂😂😂
Patton is an appropriate name for the G1 Warpath I suppose
You'll probably want to pin that arm with something like a kabob skewer or possibly sprue runner.
That's quickshadow. Just with like everything changed except the transformation scheme. That's a bit weird. The heck is that arcee tho? I'm equally baffled by that TFA skywarp since it looks too small for the voyager but too big for the activator.
Always big love to our boy Thew
A boat is just a car of the sea
JHminiatures on Thew’s channel. That’s a crossover I never knew I needed!
Funny, my Nanan gifted me that Ratchet. More like Ratshit, ammirite? Awh, that’s daft. Love you, Darla.
Blue warpath ( double trip) yes , the name is said it's really bad, but I give it a try
9:48 That Blue Warpath honestly looks cool & kinda cute, I wonder what their name could be?? 🤔
13:41 Heyy, that blue police boy's head looks like Legacy Animated Prowl's! Thats interesting.
