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.
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
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 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.
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.
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!
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! 🤣👌🏻
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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 !
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.
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.
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
LOL! This was very amusing and very hilarious. I see knock-offs a lot when I go to Big Lots especially. I have seen plenty at Tuesday Morning as well. This was a suggested video on my feed, and I'm really glad I clicked on this video and decided to watch it! Keep up the good work man!
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.
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 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.
This is just awesome. I actually got out of the Lord of The Rings Marathon at my local cinema. And again, pretty much every video Thew makes is GOLD. I shouted "Good Lordy!" when Thew started using that brick.
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.
that double dealer knockoff has the sticker too?! I bought that thing and i noticed the stickers. Even though its a knockoff you got to give them credit they included everything. well played third-party company :)
Minge is used in Newcastle as a word for street vendor's wares, as in 'what's all this minge gonna cost me?" Quim is a Welsh term for a woman's perm. As in "That's one marvelous quim ya got there. Can I touch it?" Coincedentally, quim is also the shortest word in Cardiffianese.
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!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for your Next Bootleg Bash Thew! Though the only shop you've listed that I have access to is Poundland and well we all know about the Knock Offs from there..
It takes a lot of charisma to pull off some of those nerdy references! Anyone else, I would have had turned the video off but this dude is pure entertainment!
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
"The plastic quality on these guys does fall just above the desperately low norm." One of them broke your brick in half.
Nah, the camera survived, and so did the hammer. The brick will never be forgotten!
RIP Brick Buildmore.
RIP 🪦

You wanna hear a touching story?

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.
13:51 "COPYRIGHT!? Are you f&%$£@% kidding me?!?!" I'll never get tired of that. X''D

*THROWS BRICKS AT KNOCKOFF TOYS!* XD
I love that part 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
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.
HA
"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.
"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
When you expressed rage at the Wheelie knockoff's copyright label, I laughed so hard I actually experienced physical pain. Great job!
Until now, I did not realise there was a transformer named Tracer.
Cheers, love.
Undamagedaddyk the cavalries' here!
Undamagedaddyk #Savethebutt
The cavalry’s here!
Undamagedaddyk it’s at this point that I realize that either of the current Junkers’s names could be Transformers names.
I am the scout 'round here!
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.
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
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.
2:27 I literally got those at my local Biglots in 2012 when I was 9 thinking they were official!
Love coming back to these old videos. It’s great.
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.
10:56 I actually have that Red Grim-Not so seeing 'im here was a treat
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!

I love this video for many reasons. But mostly the time and effort you put into making a 20 min video. Please do more.
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
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
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
I hope there is still plastic shrapnel from this looming about that yard.

This never gets old
The black member of Breastforce is technically called Jaruga to avoid confusion with Ravage, whose Japanese name is Jaguar.
Armada sideways got an orange repaint as did hotshot with a similar premesis to the KO Sunstorm.
God if that silver Toyota roadbot could open it's car doors I would 100% buy it just as a 1/6th scale accessory
I actually had my own set of knockoff Protectobots as a kid too. Think I even got it at a Big Lots, too.

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
thew, please put out more transformers reviews. we all miss them.
You're uploads are always worth the wait. XD
Literally the funniest review I've ever seen! :')
Top work as always man.
You know it's a good day when Thew uploads a new video on your birthday.
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...
An early Christmas gift for me?
Thew, you shouldn't have..
Why has it taken me so long to find this channel?! awesome vid :)
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
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 !
6:59 so you take off almost every thing and still get a cibbley robot mode
Now how does that work
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.
13:54 that part just did it that was so funney
Thew, I just fucking love you.
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.

It's a chain of shops where every item costs only one British pound. Our equivalent of a dollar store, in essence.
I don't know how i came across your videos but fricken hell I do enjoy them
Forgot how long thews hair was.
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
LOL! This was very amusing and very hilarious. I see knock-offs a lot when I go to Big Lots especially. I have seen plenty at Tuesday Morning as well.
This was a suggested video on my feed, and I'm really glad I clicked on this video and decided to watch it! Keep up the good work man!
This is the first video of yours I've watched, and frequently found myself laughing aloud, you completely hairy and brilliant bastard! Subscribed!
11 years later and still no g1 defensor review
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.

It's so fun seeing knockoffs getting smashed.
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.
18:04 the Marvel comics verison of fort max is about the size of an average transformer while omega is still a behemoth
COPYRIGHT?!? COPYRIGHT?!? ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME?!?
the copyright part almost suffocated me from laughter
when I was little I had all of the mini converters and I still love them
Joe Bowditch FiGhTeRs In DiSgUiSe
Do you still have it
No this was like 6 years ago and they where they cheap they fell apart
Ah Thew this was awesome! One of your best. Hails from Time Trek.
I nearly lost it at "The hobbit trailer but with Rob Schneider" XD
I think you are now my favorite TF reviewer! Keep being awesome mate!
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
My bootleg both small and big streetwise has black windows and the big hotspot has an actual autobots symbol
Quick change is widely known as the MOST BLOWFUL KO DISTRIBUTER
wake up, see new knockoff beatdown, its gonna be a great day
This is just awesome. I actually got out of the Lord of The Rings Marathon at my local cinema.
And again, pretty much every video Thew makes is GOLD. I shouted "Good Lordy!" when Thew started using that brick.
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.
These knockoff videos take me back to my childhood, most of all of my transformers toys were super cheap knockoffs that I somewhat miss
I noticed an Rid Kup at 14:41 good one Thew
Ghew
4:03 Got that exact Bumblebee on the right out of Poundland. Still have him, minus one arm and the join that holds his feet together
20 minutes of hilarious ripping rip-offs a new one action? Oh, Thew-mbassador, you are spoiling us!
BLADrian Edmonson - you've just become my new favourite person xD Loved Rik and Adrian together!
All I can say is BRING ON Knock Off Beatdown the Forth!!
Was anyone else worried there wouldn't be a song on the level of the Tomas song from the last beat down?
Yet another great review from a great guy..Thanks Thew!!!!
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 paused this just to tell you... YOU ARE THE FUNKING TRANSFORMER MAN! Seriously.... You.
It's a good day in general when Thew uploads a video.
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.
The fact this vid is almost a decade old
Write the letter... PLEASE write the letter.
yellow robot:IM GOING TO LIVE!! thew:COPYRIGHT STICKER!!! yellow robot:IM GOING TO DIE!!!!
oh god i have that knock off scourge. i personaly liked it alot
Wait... those Beasty Converters actually destroyed your brick?! How in the hell is that even a thing that can happen?
that double dealer knockoff has the sticker too?! I bought that thing and i noticed the stickers. Even though its a knockoff you got to give them credit they included everything. well played third-party company :)
Whenever I go to pound shops, I find so many knockoffs that have different colours....
Minge is used in Newcastle as a word for street vendor's wares, as in 'what's all this minge gonna cost me?"
Quim is a Welsh term for a woman's perm. As in "That's one marvelous quim ya got there. Can I touch it?" Coincedentally, quim is also the shortest word in Cardiffianese.
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!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for your Next Bootleg Bash Thew! Though the only shop you've listed that I have access to is Poundland and well we all know about the Knock Offs from there..
I got the bootleg defensor both version small and big
It takes a lot of charisma to pull off some of those nerdy references! Anyone else, I would have had turned the video off but this dude is pure entertainment!
I watched this in 2019 and I am getting shocked that thewie predicted the whole sonic trailer
Hooohooo, i got a tan colored Hummer. The Road Bot. Aw yeah!
That KO Animated Thundercracker was probably bragging about how perfect he was right up until his untimely demise.
You Legend , I'm going to B&M to get those Roadbots
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
I've been giggling all the way through this!
