I cannot thank you enough for being in that video!!!!! I had a lot of fun makin it and that figure is one of my faves! Much love to you Thew!!!
Speaking of the Ladybird books and their toy-accurate illustrations, I actually met the artist at my local comic book shop, and since I lived only five minutes away I ran home quickly and grabbed the books and brought them for him to sign. He said to me "This was the first illustration work I ever did, and the last work I ever thought I'd be signing."
31:49 to explain who/what toxitron is, he originally started out as a repaint of the original laser prime mold. It was intended to be released as part of the universe 1.0 line, but like many other things it got cancelled due to the lines poor performance. That toy would eventually be shown off for the first time at botcon 2005. Due to that botcon connection fun pub would later release two toys of the character.
(This new version is the first one to be available to a lot of people. Its also the most authentic to the original version because it’s using the laser prime mold).
In terms of the character, if I remember correctly he’s supposed to be the product of an early attempt at making a clone of Optimus prime. (There’s not much more you can say about this guy).
The best part of Toxitron is the parody poster art. Lol.
Walmart was being salty dirtbags for what they got and demanded other things
@@donkeykong6426 in terms of why the original was cancelled? That would probably be a pretty accurate answer.
@@XPproductions365 it is a fair 2nd reason
In the midst of all the Transformers stuff, I just wanna say that the Rogue Limb album was really good! Your vocals are wild
Love the new Bludgeon. He is so fun to mess around with.
He just needs an upgrade kit that gives him more samurai bits.
We love Toy Vault! When I was at Hasbro that was my usual spot to hit up and Comicazi was where the local Transformers meetup happened!
Bludgeon is so much fun to pose! The sword just adds so much to what you can do with him.
Camshaft’s transformation reminds me of how so many Go-Bots transform where the center of the vehicle mode turns into the torso in bot mode.
Man, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus are actually REALLY swish little figures! You need to give them a chance when you can. Bomb-Burst reminds me of the Energon Omnicon jet mold, and I love how deranged he looks. Iguanus has a surprisingly fun bike mode that basically transforms like the Junkion bikes but with the wheels on struts so they aren't just loose parts.
I ended up painting the medi-bot on my Earthrise Optimus. Yeah, the original release had it and roller in grey, but the show and running changes made them blue, and it looks so much nicer that way.
I got the Core Class Laserbeak version of the DOTM Bee mold, knowing it would get recolored in yellow at some point, but I'm genuinely surprised they retooled the head with the battle mask. It kind of makes his head a little indistinct but it looks good up close.
The first Leo Prime having no pupils is apparently due to the gold plastic being unpaintable. Fortunately, Gundam Marker sticks to it a bit better than normal acrylic paint. Gotta say though, that teal pedicure looks AMAZING with the charcoal and satin black color scheme. Galvatron would be a dream come true, given how rare his toy is outside of Japan.
I think they should have released bomb burst first tbh, it's a fine toy but Iguanus really blows it out of the water for articulation and posability and alt mode and even accessories. Iguanus is masterful, it just makes Bomb Burst feel clumsy by comparison
Two notes on Lio Convoy: the handgun that comes with copy convoy is supposed to go with normal Lio (or any of the members of his team, tbh). And the longer blasters that peg into the forearms can be shoved into the backpiece, theres a couple of slots to mount them there as a jetpack, and also functions as alt mode storage.
I dig the idea of an exo-suit for Selfie Series. There's also the workshirt and yellow boots look from S1/S2 that Spike and Sparkplug always had. They could also do the "future" outfits Spike and Carly wore in S3.
agreed. out of all of the "inconsistent" let's call them, figures, that would be one that makes sense
Or they could do them as headmasters. Even if it doesn't transform, would be cool!
Gotta say, check out Iguanis sooner than later- legitimately one of my favorite figures of the year! 😅
Love that out of all the names they chose Camshaft, for a Bot who's alt-mode is one of the very few cars that doesn't have a Camshaft in its engine 😅
I was in Comicazi last week visiting family in Boston and was floored by the amount of vintage bots they had, picked up FOC soundwave and PotP rippersnapper to finally complete my Abominus
The Tarn mold’s brilliance is the robot mode. You can make him looks absolutely FANTASTIC in poses, especially if you don’t use the arm canon as sacrilege as that is to say since “Tarn’s supposed to have the canons”. When you give the mold something to hold, it comes to life rather than just find new ways to point his arm out
For me the Laser Optimus mold works best for imposter Optimus Primes. It's a truck but not the right truck, it has a trailer but not the right trailer, it has chest windows but they aren't the real windows from the truck mode; for me that all screams Optimus Prime Doppelganger.
But yeah the Toxitron gang are all amazing and I managed to track most of them down in a week and just needed a friend's help getting Dead End.
The Toxitron is great color scheme for that mold and works so well. I have that mold 3 times and is my most played with Optimus.
Was pretty lukewarm about Tarn, but the Bludgeon treatment makes it so much better. Another toy in my collection I'll never feel the need to transform. Definitely on board with Trashmaster. Haven't gotten him yet, but love that he's a big chunk of truck, and bot like the Legacy Bulkhead. Would love to find that Toxitron repaint as I too find the Laser Prime mold pretty fun, and near perfect in design/articulation. A toy i definitely would not mind buying twice for those crazy G2 colors.
They probably didn't want to just because of price point, but I think it would have been interesting if they did a recolor and remold of Legacy Armada Megatron as Bludgeon
As someone who lived in Rhode Island I’m in such a big happy shock that Thew went to comicazi, where I go every time I go to Boston! Knowing we picked up stuff from the same transformers cabinet is quite surreal, it really feels like transformers communities around the world are connected by places like that.
Thank you so very much. I live in Boston and Comicazi is the number one shop for used and vintage toys in the area. Newbury comics is also awesome as well . I'm just happy to see the local retail shops get a shout out.
Off topic, i know. Love the black and purple nail color combo. I'm using gel polish now a days, it's stays rock solid for a week or 2, it doesn't damage as easy as normal nail polish. You will need a uv lamp and stuff, but it's really worth the extra effort ;-)
I need me a Legacy Toxitron!
I guess Bludgeon's name has the same energy as Spoons from Gobots who is a forklift.
Seeing this on my way home genuinely made me well up, really needed this and I hope you feel the appreciation you deserve 😌
I saw the Treebot review and I thought it was an amazing review. Also bludgeon being a silly tank is so great
Tarn hit just right since he was the first official toy of him that I can think of. He was solid
Kinda wish I didn’t get the core Optimus and bee separately. I want the trailer and axe lol
"I've got your number, baby!" what a perfectly Matt Berry line
Hey, that's the Emerald Square ToyVault! I love that place. If you're ever in the area again, there's another one in Marlborough, as well.
Remembering the grief I got extremely recently on a certain Transformers Forum What will remain nameless when I said "Cybertronian modes just turn into nothing" and now in the span of like 3 days my two favourite toy reviewers (you and Gav) have essentially said the same thing.
VINDICATION!!!
Give me Earth modes any day of the week
I live right near the toy vault, it’s been my shop for 18+ years now, so cool you visited my stomping grounds!!!! Come back soon man!
My Bludgeon, the only one on my shelf is the Metagate one....The AoE triple changer Drift, but gold-ish orange and remoulded slightly.
I feel like the design actually works better as Bludgeon because it solves my main problem with the later Bayverse designs; the AoE/TLK 'bots really don't look or feel like Transformers to me aesthetically because of the lack of kibble....But when you base it on a Pretender's shell, with no kibble in the first place it works.
Now that the mold was used for Bludgeon... I kinda want to headswap my Tarn and repaint him to be Banzaitron (Whom I always preferred to simply call "Banzai" much better name imo)
Also I bought, without regret, the DNA upgrade kit and Toyhax sticker set for Toxitron. He's so wonderfully nasty and eye-melting I just had to spoil the lad
The Leo Prime mold has two little ports on the back of the robot mold to store those little blaster pieces.
I love Tarn! He's one of my favorite Transformers characters and figures. I'm planning on getting Bludgeon and Jhiaxus because they are Voyagers with hand articulation. You can have them holding a lot more than things with an 8mm peg which gives them options for more elaborate weapons! Which I really like 👍👍
Protip: The side gray pieces can slot onto the maw part to make a giant handheld clamp. Like Clamp Champ.
The front grille/wheel parts also look very good plugged into the back of the shoulders.
I actually got Trashmaster for my Birthday, along side Detritus, 86 Brawn and Core Class Slug Sludge & Snarl (who were the last three Dinobots I needed to complete the Volcanicus).
Leo prime's other pair of small guns can tab into the back kibble and store away there.
The extra gun Nemesis has is a bit funky but you can slip it between his arms from the bottom when going into lion mode, then you just close up the chest panels and it stays in there.
Since I picked up Tarn I’m perfectly happy sticking with ROTF Bludgeon, it holds up apart from the floppy sword and melts treads.
Yeah, loving my Toxitron too. Doing the toyhax decals to it to spruce up that trailer. Good times.
I don't know how I didn't notice the Deceptikoffing tattoo until about 18 minutes in.
Comicazi is an amazing comic shop. I've had friends who worked there. And since you were doing Pulse Con I am going to guess that the Toy Vault you went to was at the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleborough. There are three Toy Vaults in Massachusetts. 😁
I kinda want that Nemesis Leo but I wish the grey matched the package photos.
"a lump with some turrets on it idk" ah yes isn't that every Cybertronian alt mode🤣
I love it when you say "camshaft", whisper it to me!
My first video from you Mr Thew was the " I regret everything!" Vid with the Unicron by haslab and it's been a wild one from there! You only being one of the three reviewers I watch. You definitely have your own entertainment value and perspective on everything an being a chunky 40 year old dude I can relate. 😂. Anyways keep up the amazing work.
Oh yeah the 3 reviewers I watch are You Emgo's reviews and Jobby the Hong. that Las one Jobby is the first reviewer I ever watched then You Threw!
I dunno what it is but that Bludgeon Alt mode looks like it belongs in a TMNT line.
I think the samurai theme and his colour scheme give him the Ninja Turtles vibe.
Iguanus kicks ass. Its so weird, poses up a storm, and has great colors.
The ROTB Bumblebee has a nice structure. Yes.
“It’s the bag of crap that I crave” goes really hard Thew
I live in massachusetts so I definitely check out some of those places you mentioned
Having the Banzaitron version, I look forward to picking up Legacy Bludgeon version of the mold as I don't "need" Tarn.
Not sure how to feel about Bolton F1gure Kollectorz featuring Doctor Who figures so prominently…hopefully they’ll be pushed aside by the time you get there
9:56 reminds me of Jace and the Wheeled Warriors.
Bro your nail match Toxitron's trailer. Hell yeah!
Sixo had a few of the mini spy’s off of us but I think we have a few left over at Leicester vintage toys
I lived in Massachusetts for 5 years. I miss Newbury Comics so much.
Great video and I am addicted to Rogue Limb!! Fantastic album!!
I loved Tarn, but Bludgeon brought something to the mould that made me love it EVEN MORE
also Bludgeon is one of my favourite cons so...
@21:24 Toy Vault is AWESOME!! I've got one near ME!!
Great vid my friend. Coreclass bombburst isn't too bad of a figure. Im loving the coreclass line, so much better than the old legends class, plus u get weapons now. How much room was in that box for prime and bee though XD
And thank you so much for the shout out of Figure Kollectorz, you are a diamond mate. :D
New lighting is great!
On the way to the shops earlier I was listening to the Sonic R OST, and on the way back - Rogue Limb. I have a broad range of tastes!
I have Scourge but I think you just sold me on Toxitron! He'll look amazing next to G2 Grimlock (the only version of that mould I bought!)
great review as always! also actus reus is one of my favorite albums this year
I'd love three more repaints of Toxitron but with some head retools:
Octane
Ironworks
Powertrain
The Prime and Bumblebee Core 2 pack is so good. Earthrise Prime figure is really good, but this core scaled trailer is better.
I can't believe Thew was at my local mall in my favorite store and I missed it.
I think that BW2 galvatron COULD happen, maybe as a core like energon did
my personal headcanon I will now share about the minispies, is that they are the result of the biosphera clones experiment, unlike fastra/fastlane and wingspan&pounce which are full on, they are simpler. everyone pretty much identical to eachother, but different in alliances!
I like the look of toxitron, and after the introduction of scrounge back in CW, I love how they are introducing official toys for smaller and somewhat forgotten characters
I must say I like those nails! I'm curious if there's a reasoning behind why the thumb and ring finger are black while the others are purple, but the result looks gorgeous!
Skywarp. That is all.
@@lyokomajor That makes so much sense why didn't I immediately think Skywarp?
@@flametitan100 Thinking more on it, majority purple would be Hotlink, as Skywarp is majority black.
But Skywarp just makes more sense because Thew.
Love the Core Bumper and Prime set 😂🤟🏻🤟🏻
You went to Newberry Comics?!? I used to work near one of their shops, and it was a frequent lunch break visit for me.
Great video Mr. Thew. I love "Dammit open"
yeah that's a cool shirt. cool design.
It's going to be a great November
I kinda want that Optimus/BB core pack just for Roller and the repair bot
Maybe hasbro can robotise the face for the selfie series just a thought
25:55 in tfwiki he is labeled as a scrab but to me he looks more like a tiger beetle
if you want an updated third party bludgeon .the dna designs susanoo is decent
Just went and listened to Rogue Limb (assuming I listened to the right band) and you guys might be a viable replacement in my player for Every Time I Die (RIP)
I'm just waiting for that Toxictron to go on clearance at my local Walmart
"Imagine him rolling in to save the day."
I did, and it made me smile. Also your thoughts on Frankentron?
scarem is a scarab, silly
I’ve been to that toy vault!
Toxitron was supposed to be a part of Universe 1.0 before being cancelled. I think his characterization was supposed to be that he was the Bizzarro to Optimus’s Superman.
I hope that you are having a wonderful day and keep up with the great content
I have been wondering since I was a kid why the guy with a super-sharp sword was named "Bludgeon." Thank you for validating me.
glad you had a good time in America :) love ya vids bro
Had to look up Rogue Limb. Thew on drums noice
The new Bludgeon alt mode feels like it should be in the Mad Max universe.
G1 Camshaft was my first tf and was a hand me down from someone
If I see the new Bludgeon on deep discount, I'll grab it. Otherwise, my favorite Bludgeon is from the Revenge of the Fallen line.
The thin guns on leo convoy and nemesis leo convoy can plug into the back and point down like optimus primal's jet pack you can also leave them in those slots while transforming it and right before you close up his back in lion mode there is enough room for the hand gun to store. and in robot mode you can just open the robot mode chest and store whatever in there.
Wait let me get this straight. I know two of the sticks go in the lion mane, and two go in the back. But there's room for the blaster too?
@@SneezyD there is no spot for it to peg in, in either mode but it can just be stored away without stressing any part. there is enough room for it.
Legacy bludgeon is nice but the torso should’ve been different yea it would mess with the tank but it’s a good sacrifice to make it a bit better, it’s more of the cyberverse design of anything. The Leo prime I’m kinda 50/50 cause the nemesis looks very nice with the colours but kinda want the original colours for the upcoming commander
21:24 nice to see you went to toy vault it’s a really amazing store if your in America again there is a bigger store in Ct very big with a huge transformer collection
i really hope the package i sent to the po box makes it, it's my first time sending something overseas, so i hope it either doesn't get swiped by someone or gets lost or something else. it at least cleared customs, so that's good.
THEW I did not expect a video today
7:24 the more you pause to look at it, the more you've come to notice and realize that thew is frickin' right!!
The art is reused and bumblebee is just driving on thin air!!
Are you going to do something with your lighting so we can see all your lovely bots in the background?
Protip: Leg Bludgeon's head will fit in the chest cavity a lot better when turned sideways.
Great. Now I want a Camshaft lmao
