Points to Thew for remembering that all the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were genetically engineered to be female.
spiderman meme:
left spiderman: Jurassic Park
right spiderman: Evangelion
And remembering that, you realize she's our FIRST EVER LEADER-SIZED FEMBOT. I hope I'm wrong, but if I am, that predecessor's way too obscure. It both gives me hope and despair regarding Strika, and possibly Clobber.
Hasbro didn’t remember either, they made it clear that terranocon is a female in the packaging art
Does that mean there is a goddesszilla?
Does that mean you can ship the trex transformer with the jeep transformer?
Seeing the Darth Vader Transformer unlocked a core memory. I had him, Anakin. and a clone gunship transformer and they were so much fun. I had Vader beating Megatron because not only did he have a robot mode but the force as well so I assumed like countering Han Solo's blaster Vader could just wave away a fusion cannon blast.
Still want this set, love JP & TF
Will pick this up at some point in the future
JP’s coloring reminds me of Generation 2. Which kinda makes sense considering Gen 2 was around during that time and had a very neon style. As for a rename, I have three good ones: Slackoff, Hillclimber, and Safaritron
They better make an Armada Redalert from that jp93
As both a Transformers fan and a Jurassic Park fan this set its one of my holy grails simce Transformers its my favorite toyline and Jurassic Park its my favorite movie
Jp 93 is pretty much a heavy prowl retool
"Robot Muldoon"
Right on the nose.
His fists do indeed click in so they're not at an angle.
The translucent plastic in JP’s head isn’t the most luminous, but lightpiping, uh, finds a way
Hasbro's toy designers were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
Lol
Ha! Well done
Lame Jurassic Park reference aside, yes, they should’ve.
Thank you this video felt naked without this exact line XD
This comment is the real MVP
Fun fact I learned in Film Studies class:
During the filming of the first Jurassic Park, the T Rex animatronic reacted poorly to the rain during the iconic scene, and between takes, due to water damage
*it would move by itself*
While the workers were on break, they frequently noticed the animatronic’s head twitch and move
Imagine that, you’re just eating your sandwich, and the giant ass T Rex a few meters away just looks directly at you
Maybe it was a malfunctioning cybertronian and no one knew but the director and that dinosaur supervisor
All of a sudden you hear "REXY TERRORIZE!!!!" (because lets be real, she should've been a predacon lol)
Fnaf moment
What's even more fun is that, one time, it started moving on its own *while someone was inside cleaning it*. Thankfully no one was hurt, but still. That has got to be one of the most viscerally terrifying things that I can imagine experiencing.
@@ShadowsAndScience literally Springtrap
They really missed out on naming JP 93 setting like "Wrangler". It sounds cool, his alt mode could have been a Jeep Wrangler, also he is a T-Rex wrangler.
That would be a really good pun!
I'd have gone with Muldoonus or Grant-o-tron.
No! Wait! DR IAN MALSCREAM.
If I had to name the Rex, I would have personally went with Deceptile
I will stand up for "Tyrannocon Rex" as a name. It's obvious, but it at least is a cool, powerful combination of syllables. The same cannot be said of "JP93"
I would have much rather took a stupid name like "Ranger" or "Explorer" than have something that essentially sounds like some 90s Japanese sports car.
I like to think jp93 means he’s the 93rd Jonathan Paul.
Jurrasic Park 1993
I've been caller her Tyrannica because Tyrannocon rex sounds like T-wrecks full legal name. And someone suggested Jackknife for JP so I've been using that.
@@Brezz-22 while I like Tyrannocon, Tyrannica just makes it sound like Tyrannocon is her deadname.
This review had way more thought put into it than the set did. For real this is a great review!
I can definitely see JP93 being retooled into Armada Red Alert in the future, they're the exact same body type and vehicle,
You have really improved your beast wars Megatron impression
I hope they do. Considering how the Legacy characters are either spot on or completely ruined because of one big thing (being sold for the price of a size class above or just making them a G1 pre/retool), this would be completely welcome.
@@KodyCrimson
That would be awesome, I really want more Armada stuff as we are getting voyager Armada Starscream
@@RodimusMinor1987 We're getting Armada Starscream?!
@@samueltaillant8825 Yes, along with Beast Wars Inferno in Wave 3 of Legacy.
Except that the legs might need to be remolded a bit. If I remember from Armada Red Alert, the underside of the back of the vehicle mode is facing the front of the figure, which is flipped around on JP93 at 13:58. Or the very back end of the vehicle mode is normally near Red Alert's shins, whereas the very back end of JP93's vehicle mode is at the knee area.
Loving the very-rare Jurassic Park doot-de-doo. Unless they do more, it'll have the honour of being a one-of-one doot-de-doo.
Got it for like 40% off because of a sale. Definitely agree with the over price, wouldn't have bought it full price. Other than that love it
Also, the name I use for jeep boy is Muddune, as a reference to his hat and gun
that monthly megatron bit is my new favorite thing from this channel.
Tyrannocon Rex is the one of the best fembots ever. I give her Stryker from BM's voice. Perfect.
I was thinking the same thing. They started with the Jeep, planning to redeco Hound maybe even make an Earthrise version to fit with JP Jeep. Covid happens, things get pushed back. Jeep takes its license back. And they go to Ford. Ford hearing Transformers and movie in the same sentence jump at the chance. So they have to rush job a Ford Explorer from scratch. They run with a Jazz/Prowl heavy redeco. but now they are months behind and probably a bit overbudget so they mark it up a tad. They expect that if the crossover fans (that overlap on the venn diagram of JP fans and Transformer fans) don't pick it up, keeping the packaging like the one Mattel is using on the non transforming set will finish the job.
The only thing crazier than this ride is the Velocicoaster.
This all makes a lot of sense actually. And that last point rings surprisingly true. I’ve only ever seen that Mattel box in the wild and I’ve always thought it was this crossover set for a few minutes before realizing
It's wild how they didn't used the SS Jeep Bumblebee for this collaborative. But that Ford Explorer does look gorgeous, along with the rex.
it really does feel like hasbro didn't learn from xpanse with this. they think that brand recognition is enough to sell it despite the hefty price and then it ends up being reduced in price a lot because who would have guessed that people like getting value for money
My top 3 movie Franchises are Transformers, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park so when I originally heard that this was coming out I was so hyped and I think it lived up to it
Yeah, Tyrannocon alone knocks it out of the Park, JP is just a nice bonus!
@@DonaldWWitt agreed
i mean. one of the most beloved characters with some of the best character development in all of transformers is literally named "dino bot"
I may be alone here, but I'm GUTTED they didn't repaint Dinobot into a figure of Blue. I have no interest in the BW figures but I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
@@zuttoaragi8349 I was thinking the same. A dinobot that turned into Blue paired with a Groove or something that turned into a Chris Pratt-a-bot
If they did a siege hound retool for one of those grey Jp jeeps, I think they could've killed two birds with one stone. Still have a cool crossover pack, and have a pretooling for an earth style hound for legacy. Wouldn't be the exact same car but hey, he'd still be a jeep
3:34 maybe its to encourages the buyer to actually name the two themselves? It’ll definitely be the case for stop motion RUclipsrs.
The "Yes" Segment killed me!XD
As much as I can see the objective arguments for the issues they have... I really love this pair. Worth the discounted price, for sure. I feel like the moment I gave them not-shit names in my head, they really came out of the amber and became characters instead of products.
(in case of curiosity: JP93 is Wildwheel, stealing the name and not much else from the Cyberverse design (he's more of a Steve Irwin analogue (RIP)), and Tyrablahblah is Smasher; somewhere between a G1 dinobot and Crasher/Fracture for the colors and big stompy boots)
Not wanting to be that guy, but the Steve Irwin homage is named Meteorfire.
Honestly a simple repaint and remould of siege hound would have been a better fit for jp93.
AYYY LET’S GOOO!!!
Was wondering where you had gotten off to, nice to see you back!
The MM segment and it all just being "Yesss" was beautiful
Still need to pick this up. I'm convinced that JP93 is modelled after Muldoon - the hat, the shotgun styled blaster...
Still hoping we get a retool of Hound as the grey jeep, they could even give us a dinobot repaint as Blue.
Outstanding review, as always! Thank you! Yeah, I love dinosaurs, I love "Jurassic Park," I love Transformers . . . but I just could NOT pull the trigger on this set, especially at that price. All the Crossovers seem to have ridiculous price inflations. And, yeah, licensing fees, I get it. But there comes a point where I simply can't justify that lack of value for money.
Was wondering what you have been working on since you have been quiet since Legacy Skywarp review.
IMO JP93's name meaning year when JP film came, 1993 which is pretty cleave reference for fans to notice. I'm bit conflicted with Tyrannocon Rex been Decepticon as Rexy (T-Rex from JP film and cameo/poster girl in Jurassic World along Blue) as Rexy is more of anti-hero.
I admit that if Hasbro would have reworked Siege Hound in JP jeep's red/gray deco, that would have been cool idea.
"Overly polite British version of the Dinosaur Dance" is my band name
I feel like the tyrannosaurus-man-door-hand-hook-car-door look is so uniquely megatron that Tyrannocon cant really get away with it without the stupid of it coming back and hitting you in the back of the head
The surprise Megamonthly moment made my smile spread.
In other words, Yes.
So according to the ask Vector Prime Tumblr blog
Since the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park's were made from the blood of dinosaurs that were sucked up by insect trapped in Amber
One of the Flies they found drink somehow managed to get a DNA sample from Beast Wars Megatron
And now we have this Abomination frog T-Rex cybertronian hybrid
That monthly megatron interlude was PERFECT, I was so curious how you felt about Megatron himself knowing you werent a fan of the beastwars kingdom figures but you honestly nailed how **I** feel about that figure in a minute long bit
All the megatron yeeees-ing there has me thinking of Matt berry voiced a transformer it should be predacon megatron
I love how clever Hasbro designers were with calling the Autobot JP93, which stands for Jurassic Park '93. The year the movie came out.
Though Tyrannocon Rex is not doing any favors with that name. Rexytron or Roberta Wrecks sound way better.
Jp93 would make a great remold for hound
"When the meteor crashed, loaded with energon, and fragments of Cybertron, it infected something into the park, the vehicle came to life, the animals were humanoid, welcome, to Jurassic Spark."
Personally I'd have gone with Rex-E and Wayfinder for Tyrannocon and JP-93's names, respectively.
Imo as someone who got into the transformers thing recently, i think T-Rex Megatron is one of the most ridiculous and cool transformers. My first reaction to that thing when i found out it exists was "HOLY SHIT HOW DO I GET THAT" and then glee when i found out kingdom was releasing a new one. Grimlock just didnt have the nostalgia to carry its 80s goofyness.
I do think the mold works better as a massive brute as opposed to a leader of the Predacons though.
What if JP93 is a pre-tool of a Legacy Armada Red Alert? We’re already getting Legacy Armada figures, so how much of a stretch would that be?
Having watched Thew for 5 years since I was 13, it feels deeply wrong in my brain that I could see over his head in a crowd
Another disdainful hint at it being a rush-job thrown out the door is that JP93 is the first Deluxe figure in YEARS, even DECADES, to have ball-jointed elbows. And I'm sure that's just because they knew a complete lack of swivel would have gotten an even WORSE reaction from the crowd. At least the price is down to what it's actually arguably worth.
A surprisingly deep review of a surprisingly shallow product. Top marks as usual.
One thing I don’t think I’ve seen people mention is the box for this, and how the toys are packed, is suspiciously similar to an actual Jurassic Park set of a normal T-Rex and JP Ford Explorer.
On the one hand, I kind of love the Robots in Disguise aspect of it, how you kind of have to look close to see whether it really is a Transformers or not. But at the same time, it also does feel kind of rushed. Like just “let’s do that again, but now it’s robots”
Managed to pick these two up for only £40 which is a absolute steal.
A pretty good leader and an alright Deluxe for the price of a Voyager is fantastic.
I feel Thad had entirely too much fun with this review and it most definitely shows. The alternate names for JP93 absolutely killed me. If anything I think this would be an okay novelty buy at deep discount as well as how much I need a legit BWs Megatron in my collection. The Kingdom variation is spot on even with the obvious flaws of it being a transforming toy. Side note/ This review makes me excited for the primordial beatdown that is sure to be the Crossover Megatron/Hiss Tank review
Hey man, I'm also 5'8", and it seems a lot of people are. So I'd wager it's the 6' behemoths that are the outliers.
What is that thing on your neck?
Wonderful timing! I just picked up this set the day before.
“Jeff Goldbug” 🤣🤣🤣
Never change Thew lmao
It's almost 3am Thew 🤣
I wish we could get Transformers Cybertron Megatron recolored as a Bat Mobile for a Transformers/Batman crossover. I could finally get my hands on a mold of that figure...
Imagine an RID 2001 Megatron as the Batmobile since that already has the wings and gargoyle/bat mode for it to boot! Sure, it has a ton of other unrelated modes, but they can just do what they did with the Hasbro release of the character and not print the other modes in the instructions.
For me, the flaps on her arm fold much, much easier than on my Megatron. Overall I had a much better experience transforming Tyrannocon Rex, everything worked as it should right away. The first time I transformed my Megatron I had to fight for an ENTIRE HOUR to undo the waist clip without breaking it.
Also, JP93's hands do fold out fully straight, they click in place very securely.
That David Kaye 'Yeesssss' impression is actually quite good. Great video as always Thew!
Yes
Dynasaur
How did they not think of Dynasaur
Jp93 is definitely going to be retooled into armada red alert eventually
I actually really like JP93's feet because I really miss that style of "it's just part of a car" robot design and I love seeing it pop up.
My movie theory with regards to JP, about the T-rex not being "blind". She isnt attacking humans, she attacks the cars in an attempt to save humans. She likes humans. Sure, she killed lawyer guy, thats just her trying to play, but being too big and rough and accidently killing him.
I'm surprised they didn't make the trex's name as rexy and why does thew look like a younger version of John hammind
In a hobby where we accepted the name "Dinobot" I feel a little hypocritical ragging on the name "Tyrranocon Rex".
That being said, not having the robot mode on the box and having *just a footprint* is very telling of how conceited they were.
Yomgetting it for 120 pounds: so expensive. Me getting it for 35 pounds: it's okay in price😂😂
Seriously I got it for 35 bucks.
Re: the names, it's possible that Hasbro wants us to see JP93 as "well it's a designation, like B-127 was, hur hur hur" but it's still so cheekily contrived I just... * gags *
And "Tyrann*i*con" had been used before in TF, but adding "Rex" on the end scuffs what small amount of coolness it may have.
Edit: "Rexecution" is a 1000% better name.
I'm really not sure where all of the lukewarm-ness has come from this set apart from being overpriced which it was (but it's now on sale EVERYWHERE for Thew's suggested price) because both figures are actually fun Transformers for me, definitely better than the Top Gun and XMen ones IMO. I absolutely adore JP93 in both modes because it's 100% new and not a G1 checklist item or a retool, the Robert Muldoon references in his robot mode put it over the top for me. As far the name goes, just call him what you want since he isn't in real Transformer canon. This entire collab line has been the big wigs mocking the consumer to me if we're going that route so I dunno 🤷♂️
I have 2 things for Thew
1.) The stock image of a 1st gen Explorer you showed was the exact one I owned as a second car.
2.) JP93 is so clearly modeled after Muldoon and even has the shotgun.
I passed on this for mostly the reasons you gave for it being nothing great, but also because unlike the DeLorean or the Ecto 1, I had zero interest in seeing this vehicle be a Transformer. Get me KITT, Herbie, Bond's Aston Martin, the General Lee minus the flag, Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds, the Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. Not a stupid Ford Explorer that was made to go 5 mph.
I was actually expecting JP93 to be a new version of Armada Red Alert. Was I the only one? Probably.....
in my brain the Rex character is called Tyrannicus Imperius, and also is more like the Prime Flavor of Predacon, made for baddies, nominally antagonist, but doing her own thing.
Honestly my main gripe is that they didn't take this crossover and run with it, the Jeeps, the Raptors, Dilophosaurus, Spinosaurus, that silly grabber thing from the lost world, those silly Gyrosphers from jurassic world, the indominus, the indoraptor, there penty more JP toys to make, and then you can re-shell them into TF originals to keep selling off the engineering.
I've now seen a couple of references to Thew in Toy Galaxy videos and references to Toy Galaxy in Mr Sunday Movies videos. I feel like Thew needs to reference Mr Sunday Movies to make the circle complete.
Tyranncon Rex being female I shouldve seen coming. After all, the tyrannosaurus rex in the film is frmale herself.
"Yes, yes, yes, no, yes" is my favourite moment in all of Thewdom. And I've seen almost all the videos. I'm an expert. Yes.
I'm still waiting for Transformers x Alien
come on
give us Optimus opening his chest for the matrix only for a chest burster to come out
17:00 The fact that Jurassic World actually brought back one of those particular Jeeps seems to support this, anyway.
Bro if you don't like it do a giveaway but can I just text you instead of a Gmail because it's not working for me and If they do a second one it's going to be a Max and the rest are going to be preadcons but except for Blue a Max
Is it me or are toys expensive nowadays?
When I got my G1 Sunstreaker back on 1985 I am sure it was less than a tenner.
Speaking of waiting to buy it on sale (with an aid of a gift card) I was able to buy this for about 40 dollars this morning on Amazon
Rexecutioner would’ve been even better.
And Thew came up with that name as a fucking pun.
Really weird that Tyrannocon is the Decepticon of the set, especially since they made the robot mode red and black. Like, a red and black T-Rex doesn’t read Decepticon to me… that’s a Dinobot
Just like the X-panse and Maverick. I'm just not feeling it. I like Jurassic Park, but I agree they should have done the Jeep. Could have gotten an eventual Earth Mode Hound out of it.
Does this mean we technically have a female dinobot T. rex now? Cause female dinosaurs
I'll admit JP-93 feels rushed, but frankly I'm just happy to add a brute of a fembot to my collection
Pair the T Rex with W-01 Dirty Man (Toy World) for the toilet scene. 😆
I just realized JP93 could be retooled into Armada RedAlert
Glad you also noticed the Hodge podge head that Tyrannocon had. I like it. I have her as Grimlocks Little Sister. She often rides on SS 86 Grimlocks shoulders.
I already knew I would be able to pass on this one. Just had to watch the review because Thew!
i do appreciate the secret monthly megatron comprised almost entirely of "yes". see ya at tfnation!
They tought so mech if they could do it... They never wondered if they should do it
I actually like how the toys look, I can understand the robot modes having simpler decos to allow the budget to go ham on the altmodes' colours...if this was priced lower, for the insane asking price, the robots should be just as lavishly detailed. Ultimately that's what makes me pass on these, here in Mexico they want from 150 to *200* on some stores.
That and the names suck HARD.
I would have called them “Gnashtooth and Jurass-kicker” idk if they would use Jurass-kicker but THEY STILL OWN THE NAME GNASHTOOTH
Wasn't Gnashtooth BW Megatron's original name?
@@lord_traynwreck2390 yes and no, it used to be just a random purple t-rex minicon, but in beast wars uprising, it was used as BW megatron’s original name
I'm still interested in giving these two a go, and oddly my headfanon with those two is Rexy and 93 were on again off again couple and when she turned 'con he begrudgingly went after her. getting some real dommy mommy/sub dude vibes lol
Ew
if anyones interested I believe these are £40 at smyths right now
'Robot Muldoon' was *right there,* Hasbro.
Tyrannosaurus Flex and Rex Appeal are God Tier Puns
A 'Walk the Dinosaur' reference at the end. Nice.
I really want this set but i warrant spending £75 for one figure i want and one thats just sort of ok.
I know dressing up in costumes isn't really your thing outside of Halloween-themed reviews, but man alive, did this review need an Ian Malcom get-up.
3:53
Case in point. lol
Sweary stumps... When your international fans compliment your Britishness, it's little things like THIS they otherwise wouldn't get a chance to laugh at that they're complimenting. lol
And that pretty much is the ONLY way to review Kingdom Megatron... Yesss...
Don't you DARE bemoan the John Williams doot-dee-doo, that was great! lol
