I love that he’s got a slightly downtrodden slouch to his robot mode posture. He looks like he’s walking home from the shops and he couldn’t find what he wanted.
Personally, a world that needs weapons is a sad thing, but it is necessary unfortunately. Taking away all guns in the world would only make things WORSE because then we'd have to go back to using swords and axes and clubs, and those are a lot more gruesome and a LOT harder to survive wounds from, medically speaking. Much easier to recover from a bullet wound in the arm than having your whole arm chopped off, you know? Plus, as a supporter of equal rights for women, taking away the "great equalizer" would mean that that women couldn't defend themselves as readily. In a melee fight, the bigger, stronger opponent usually wins, but with a gun, even a 5 foot something girl can protect herself from a pushing 7 foot dude. It's a shame that weapons are a thing at all, but I think a lot of the (mostly) 90s era anti-gun propaganda have given people the wrong impression about guns. Like somehow guns are more "evil" than any other type of weapon. Heck, even today, more people are killed by knives then guns. And a knife is exactly the sort of thing guns were designed to protect you from.
this kind of toy can really only come about in a country that doesn’t have many actual guns floating about, and in a time where nobody expects it to get exported to where there would be. it’s a very interesting piece but i cant help but feel the nature of it as a realistic-ish gun means the politics overshadow the actual fella in question. speaking of, strange to see an orange tip on the gun mode, i figured that was something that only happened in the 90s after a few too many incidents of mistaken identity.
It's a shame that Hasbro didn't import this and the Browning to serve as additional goons for the Decepticons. The padlocks, too, as a lower price point set of baddies.
You didn't shoot it. 0/10. Owning both the Destroy Monarch Megatron KO and the Browning KO from a few years back, owning this guy would be a far-fetched dream.
I'm rarely jealous of other people's Transformers but Kiloton is one of my grails. I dread to think how much he'll cost on the rare occasion you find someone selling him.
Had I gotten a 41 year old toy about 30 years ago, it would've been like two year old me playing with one of my grandpa's childhood toys. He wouldn't have minded, but it would've broken soooooo fast.
I still have my Shogun Warriors Godzilla! He is sitting on a shelf take the top spot in my humble collection. Back in 2003, I lost my job and had to sell all my toys just to make ends meet. But I told my wife my Shogun Warriors Godzilla would NEVER be sold. Only over my dead body. So, here we are after several coincidental accidents that could have ended my life and my Godzilla is still with me.😁

nah man, guns are awesome. You should get yourself one. Better to have and not use it, than to need it and not have it.

A reissue of Repugnus with that ‘4’ logo would be great - when he pops up on eBay it always feels like stumbling upon official TRDQ merch.

Not many RUclipsrs have covered this guy, glad you...took a shot at it.

Imagine the universe where they used this guy as Megatron.

This is actually a very clever design, wonky robot mode aside.
Gavin you handsome man, thank you for yet another solid stunner of a video. Pls, do keep at it.
Real loosey-goosey chap there

Your videos, as always, are an absolute pleasure
Thanks as always, Gavin!!!
Happy four years! Here's to another four.

That’s a pretty convincing revolver
