It's weird being recommended an old Thew video. The familiar mannerisms are all there, but so much more calmer and reserved. I feel like watching every video in order would basically be watching your slow descent into madness.
I went to Tuesday morning, and will today. They actually have the occasional awesome DOTM Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader for killer prices. Even though with their "price comparison sticker", they say the deluxes retailed for 20 bucks, and they're selling them for 10. Awesome video Thew! Laughed my ass off!
The beginning of this video contains some of the most absolute respect I’ve seen for the Protectobots in most of the fandom we need more of it, love those guys
Looking more into the Roadbots, I found a lot more than I thought. Like some of their road boys are triple changers and the car mode, a robot mode, and some weird animal mode. Happy Wells does seem to do some good work with the Roadbots and I might pick up one of those Landcruisers.
Damn good vid. Nice to get twenty minutes of yhew, Thew. I've got that teeny Fort Max and I love the hell out of him. I'm a weirdo who loves the tiny, complicated ones, so I'm perfectly okay having a fully-functional version of a guy I don't have to pay $1000 for on eBay. Also, yeah, Roadbots are a crapshoot. Some are actually kinda good though. If you can find the big yellow 1:18 Hummer, I think you'd like him. He's like a school bus of murder.
My Not-Defensor is the Hong Kong KO. He's called Fireeninebot. Missin a g somehwere... I also have Wannabe Bruticus AKA Waqonsoldier. Yes a Q not a G...
I fucking adore the jordie accent or whatever it is when you read out the terrible knockoff names It's just beautiful and not a knockoff beatdown without it
The Postman Pat Convertible is from the later "Special Delivery Service" series, in which the Pencaster Sorting Office gave Pat a whole fleet of new vehicles to tackle any situation. The toy is based on his larger van for big parcels.
I really love your creativity with regards to the KO's names, gave me quite a laugh! Keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to check out more of your videos!
your best yet, nearly fell off of my chair laughing. also enjoyed the many references to funny/cool things (both in top gears case) thank you sir. made my day
I just love at 10:02 there's the calm moment of silence with a bird chirping, then an abrupt hammer explosion! It really caught me off guard and made me wheeze! Good shit! 😆 i remember seeing postman pat on an Ashens bootleg transformers video years ago! 🤣👌🏻
Awesome video as always, surprised you didn't mention the Jeremy Beadle hand on KO Leokaiser though. Ah well, guess I'll be visiting B&M tomorrow to pick up a road bot if they have any. x
You broke a few toys that didn't really deserve it, but you didn't break the one that was the most visually offensive...... The stupid "cyborg". Seriously man? :|
My brother and I actually have those "Killbison" and "Drillhorn" knockoffs, but they were in one of those Super change robo packages and only the two of them came in the package. I don't remember what happened to them, but I know we actually had those two, we also had two of those Hot Scotts from the other Knockoff beatdown.
What's up Thew, This is the best beatdown so far, especially your little cameo after dropping that brick. I lol'd when the brick actually broke from one of the knockoffs. I actually own a knock off version of devastator (yellow variant with some black). Granted the plastic IS cheap, but mine holds up pretty good. Now for the stickers on those always manage to come off way too easy. Cool vid !
That Ratchet was soo cool you literally transformed it in one second which was amazing. I'm not being sarcastic. I truly thought that was soo cool that it could instantly transform it like that
I am so fucking glad I stumbled across this video. You just won yourself another subscriber. Makes me wish I'd kept the terrible Alternators Grimlock knockoff I got off the market for 3 quid a few years back. And now I'm off to purchase my own Toota Landcruiser ROADBOT: WITH LIGHTS! AND SOUND!
Dear god, why do you still have that not defensor from x-number of years ago Dear god… again… actual lols occurred when the brick started droppin on crapchet. Never before have I laughed so much at a brick Dear g….i bought those micromasters/minicons! The flak knockoff had stronger knee joints than my actual flak. I proceeded to bin them a month later. Have seen those KO cybertron scouts too Nice name tracer ^_^ COLECT THEM!
I actually had my own set of knockoff Protectobots as a kid too. Think I even got it at a Big Lots, too. Except my Streetwise actually had his proper colors and they all had all their articulation intact (I assume at least, since I never had the OG toys since I grew up in the 2000's), so looks like I was one of the lucky ones. Well, as lucky as I can be with Not Spot's charred remains of a head & everyone's parts being a little too easy to pop off.
One series of Funtastic's "Converters" TF bootlegs were actually based on Select Converters moulds. Mister Ashen reviewed a Calypso KO, the Budgie/Cockatiel/Parakeet (unsure which), with the name "Super Robot Bird King". Lastly, as you are doubtless aware, Funtastic is just a "phantom brand" used by Poundland.
Hey my local dollarstore has that orange Scourge in every conceivable (and some straight up alternate dimension) colors, with Brimstone, Leobreaker, and Optimus from the same line. Optimus comes in blue, green, purple, and Cthulhu...its like a rainbow in negative colors going through an x-ray after bathing in pure radiation.
I have a defensor knockoff, groove's kibble does rotate and first aid's head does flip down. And i have the tiny one, too. And the KO Devistator (CAT yellow) and the tiny one (proper green) and KO tiny bruticus (i have the RiD Bruticus). There is a legit red Hot Spot,sort of, the Guard City repaint Fire Chief.
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Im laughing so hard that Im crying, dude xD Put these videos on DVD and sell them on Ebay!! This is the peak of comedy! LOL!
We've had Roadbots in the US, i regret never getting any. :-( I got that Leo Kaiser, and a Landcross at Tues Morning, too. I've seen the scaled up micro masters planes there, as well, but i'm glad i passed them up. I would buy those big Minicons, though.
Oh, Yessss, the Roadbot. For some reason, there is no way to get real Transfromers in my city, but for same reason every toy store has a ton of different Roadbots. Some of them are okay, I think, but most are real crap.
LOL I watched a tonne of your videos yesterday too, and I also love my KO Skywarp that cost me far too much..Unfortunately my KO Starscream and Thrust didn't make it, but only paid about £13 each for them..
Watching this video over lunch was not a good idea, but it was another great vid Bless you Thew for doing another knockoff review, now excuse me while I get a mixture of snot, spit and PB & J off my desk
I'm not sure if it was official, but that Fort Max is something I own, but it was a model kit, even came with a couple tiny bots to build and use with the tiny compartments. I think one was powerglide and one was windcharger.
Hasbro also does Hungry Hungry Hippos (which got a FarmVille analog) and Pictionary (Draw Something). Hasbro board games are going down a dark, dark path, man.
The hilarity of the Words With Friends game just increases for those of us in the US or Canada. Why? Because over here HASBRO ALREADY DISTRIBUTES SCRABBLE!!!!!!!!
Only the Gyrozetter toys can pull off the "remove all the car parts to transform" thing, and even then only barely. The Roadbot toys are really pretty crap
Nah, the camera survived, and so did the hammer. The brick will never be forgotten!
RIP Brick Buildmore.
RIP 🪦

This is my favorite RUclips comment ever.
"The plastic quality on these guys does fall just above the desperately low norm." One of them broke your brick in half.
You wanna hear a touching story?
In 1688...

Nestor Natividad Sniff... Sniff... That was beautiful...
NOT!
blackwolf249 You ,good sir, have zero taste in excellent story telling.
Thanks. I just made the first chapter of Doom DxD Remastered. Why don't you check it out?
blackwolf249 Only if you download my podcast.
The red Humvee guy is so kibble-y that it'd be a good replacement for dog food.
Blade XD
I'm dieing
Glaive DISCLAIMER: Please do not feed knockoff Transformers to your dog. Dogs deserve much better food than junk plastic.

Until now, I did not realise there was a transformer named Tracer.
Cheers, love.

It's weird being recommended an old Thew video. The familiar mannerisms are all there, but so much more calmer and reserved. I feel like watching every video in order would basically be watching your slow descent into madness.
"What may or may not be a roadbot with or without lights and or sounds." I love it.
Later down the road, what may or may not be a warrior as well.
Animated toys were pretty great in my opinion.
they WERE great,well most of them ( cough cough) deluxe megatron ( cough cough )
@@masterbison8957definitely agreed hope studio series updates them
I went to Tuesday morning, and will today. They actually have the occasional awesome DOTM Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader for killer prices. Even though with their "price comparison sticker", they say the deluxes retailed for 20 bucks, and they're selling them for 10.
Awesome video Thew! Laughed my ass off!
Just wanted to remind you about this comment 11 years after it was made. Love your reviews btw.
When you expressed rage at the Wheelie knockoff's copyright label, I laughed so hard I actually experienced physical pain. Great job!
"What may or may not be a Road-bot, with or without lights and or sound" may be my favourite quote ever.
The beginning of this video contains some of the most absolute respect I’ve seen for the Protectobots in most of the fandom we need more of it, love those guys
2:27 I literally got those at my local Biglots in 2012 when I was 9 thinking they were official!
15:21 You have an amazing laugh, Thew. X3
Kryten Prime See the KO Beatdown Ruination for epic laugh.

Leni Likes Everything the road boys do have pretty sick SUV alt modes.
The grey SUV LOOKS X-Brawn like. But 😈 evil.

Lol!! Erm... I think it's probably best if I don't :/
10:56 I actually have that Red Grim-Not so seeing 'im here was a treat
THEW...your still the best.. your Rapid fire comedic assault has NO RIVAL.
lol yes he reviews a boatload of transformers, unlike the other guys who review 1 and it takes 10-20 minutes and its boring. CHEERS to THEW!!!
Indeed
My Not-Defensor is the Hong Kong KO. He's called Fireeninebot. Missin a g somehwere...
I also have Wannabe Bruticus AKA Waqonsoldier. Yes a Q not a G...
6:59 so you take off almost every thing and still get a cibbley robot mode
Now how does that work
It's so fun seeing knockoffs getting smashed.
I fucking adore the jordie accent or whatever it is when you read out the terrible knockoff names
It's just beautiful and not a knockoff beatdown without it
I love this video for many reasons. But mostly the time and effort you put into making a 20 min video. Please do more.
The black member of Breastforce is technically called Jaruga to avoid confusion with Ravage, whose Japanese name is Jaguar.
The Postman Pat Convertible is from the later "Special Delivery Service" series, in which the Pencaster Sorting Office gave Pat a whole fleet of new vehicles to tackle any situation. The toy is based on his larger van for big parcels.
You Legend , I'm going to B&M to get those Roadbots
Love coming back to these old videos. It’s great.
I really love your creativity with regards to the KO's names, gave me quite a laugh! Keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to check out more of your videos!

Yet another great review from a great guy..Thanks Thew!!!!
BLADrian Edmonson - you've just become my new favourite person xD Loved Rik and Adrian together!
Awesome video as always, surprised you didn't mention the Jeremy Beadle hand on KO Leokaiser though. Ah well, guess I'll be visiting B&M tomorrow to pick up a road bot if they have any. x

Literally the funniest review I've ever seen! :')
Top work as always man.
I hope there is still plastic shrapnel from this looming about that yard.
What website did you get the CHMS sun storm from? I can't find them anywhere that seems trustworthy
I got it from the KO Toys site, it's been closed down now :(
Darn it, thanks for replying though
+brotheranimations it might be on sirtoys, if you care anymore
8:39 i want that so bad!
Thew, I just fucking love you.
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!
freaking loved it, couldnt stop cracking up!
My brother and I actually have those "Killbison" and "Drillhorn" knockoffs, but they were in one of those Super change robo packages and only the two of them came in the package. I don't remember what happened to them, but I know we actually had those two, we also had two of those Hot Scotts from the other Knockoff beatdown.
I never noticed this, but you were listening to flying whales as 1:48
What's up Thew,
This is the best beatdown so far, especially your little cameo after dropping that brick. I lol'd when the brick actually broke from one of the knockoffs.
I actually own a knock off version of devastator (yellow variant with some black). Granted the plastic IS cheap, but mine holds up pretty good. Now for the stickers on those always manage to come off way too easy.
Cool vid !
thew, please put out more transformers reviews. we all miss them.
The brick broke the brick broke what the hell
Had to comment again. Dude this review was hiliarious. Love your reviews.
That Ratchet was soo cool you literally transformed it in one second which was amazing. I'm not being sarcastic. I truly thought that was soo cool that it could instantly transform it like that
It didn't quite look like you though. IDK, maybe it was just because I was watching this on a Saturday night or something.
I am so fucking glad I stumbled across this video. You just won yourself another subscriber. Makes me wish I'd kept the terrible Alternators Grimlock knockoff I got off the market for 3 quid a few years back.
And now I'm off to purchase my own Toota Landcruiser ROADBOT: WITH LIGHTS! AND SOUND!
I found that same set and gave them to my son for a gift. Complete junk and fell apart in the first couple days playing with them..
Forgot how long thews hair was.
Dear god, why do you still have that not defensor from x-number of years ago
Dear god… again… actual lols occurred when the brick started droppin on crapchet. Never before have I laughed so much at a brick
Dear g….i bought those micromasters/minicons! The flak knockoff had stronger knee joints than my actual flak. I proceeded to bin them a month later. Have seen those KO cybertron scouts too
Nice name tracer ^_^
COLECT THEM!
This is the first video of yours I've watched, and frequently found myself laughing aloud, you completely hairy and brilliant bastard! Subscribed!
I actually had my own set of knockoff Protectobots as a kid too. Think I even got it at a Big Lots, too. Except my Streetwise actually had his proper colors and they all had all their articulation intact (I assume at least, since I never had the OG toys since I grew up in the 2000's), so looks like I was one of the lucky ones.

It's been 5 years since I first watched this video..... and I finally realized that Thew was saying 'TransButtSex' instead of 'TransBotsX' at 13:19
Holy it's almost been eight years 🤯
It's a chain of shops where every item costs only one British pound. Our equivalent of a dollar store, in essence.
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Im laughing so hard that Im crying, dude xD
Put these videos on DVD and sell them on Ebay!! This is the peak of comedy! LOL!
Looks like that Tracer can't
WALK.
Get it?
Pantera - Walk?
Ough, nevermind.
Ugh, your sense of humor feels like 13 Steps to Nowhere.
That was an unnecessary Vulgar Display of Power.
Whenever I go to pound shops, I find so many knockoffs that have different colours....
Did your girlfriend drop that brick on Wheelie? Also, COPYRIGHT?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!
We've had Roadbots in the US, i regret never getting any. :-( I got that Leo Kaiser, and a Landcross at Tues Morning, too. I've seen the scaled up micro masters planes there, as well, but i'm glad i passed them up. I would buy those big Minicons, though.
Armada sideways got an orange repaint as did hotshot with a similar premesis to the KO Sunstorm.
Oh, Yessss, the Roadbot. For some reason, there is no way to get real Transfromers in my city, but for same reason every toy store has a ton of different Roadbots. Some of them are okay, I think, but most are real crap.

best 20 mins of my life and i seen most of these guys at either big lots ot worst DD's discounts lol
20 minutes of hilarious ripping rip-offs a new one action? Oh, Thew-mbassador, you are spoiling us!
Hasbro also does Hungry Hungry Hippos (which got a FarmVille analog) and Pictionary (Draw Something). Hasbro board games are going down a dark, dark path, man.

those roadbots arent in my opinion a knock off toy series since they are no real repaints.
and i owned one a red lancer evo.
greetings from holland
this is the Halo 3 of reviews, the other two were mind busting but this one is genre defining. 20 minutes well spent 10/10 would watch again.
I was terrified that you would go on your word and review another bumblebee, how foolish I was
That review was nothing if not awesometacular Thew
4:20 I think that’s bug bite 🤔🧐🔍if I’m not mistaken 🤷♂️
God if that silver Toyota roadbot could open it's car doors I would 100% buy it just as a 1/6th scale accessory
Tuesday morning, way station of everything that didn't sell, official or not.
How much did that Double Dealer cost? It could be worth it to complete your real one. I'm missing the blue chest plate.
Thew love the new camera and love the new bit of breaking the fakes to hell with a brick/hammer....keep up the vids bro
Wait... those Beasty Converters actually destroyed your brick?! How in the hell is that even a thing that can happen?
My bootleg both small and big streetwise has black windows and the big hotspot has an actual autobots symbol
I laughed so hard I almost pissed me self please do some more ko toys it's so funny the way ya rag on them
Ngl I think a tiny FortMax is cute and I think I want him.
Was anyone else worried there wouldn't be a song on the level of the Tomas song from the last beat down?
Funny: I didn't know that a powerizer weapon could actually works. Good job, Hasb... oh, wait, Roadbot?
I'm sorry the I just bought a bootleg from the Canadian form of Poundland dollarrama
12:46 *COLLECT THEM*
I watched this in 2019 and I am getting shocked that thewie predicted the whole sonic trailer
18:04 the Marvel comics verison of fort max is about the size of an average transformer while omega is still a behemoth
