Like 20 years ago, some guy made a custom Delorean transformer by modifying a G1 Sideswipe. Won awards for it. I keep wondering what he thinks about all this.
it will porbably be either dom's charger brian's supra or brian's 2f2f skyline or at a stretch mabye that car 19 minutes into the first film since it already has an autobot insignia
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer That would be sick as hell, but with them making that X-Men figure. All you can do is cross your fingers 🤞 And hope for the best
As the last remaining Kremzeek stan not in captivity... Kremzeek is a little like the younger brother who always wants to hang out, and everyone's too polite to send him home, so everybody just sorta hangs around and doesn't do anything fun.
The best part about Transformers crossover toys is you can just keep them in vehicle mode and as far as anyone who visits knows, it's just a DeLorean figure :)
"That is not a pleasant vibe." It's not really an authentic G1 Megatron experience if you aren't afraid his hips are going to snap like toothpicks if you so much as look at them funny.
Crossbranded Transformers are brilliant because they can literally embody what the film/property is as a giant robot as well as the familiar vehicle as well as injecting all the goodness of both... which is why TF were/are/willallwaysbe awesome in the first place - the BOTHines of it all! I mean, you can't comprehend the perfect universal beauty that is the roof rack gear of the Ecto-1 Alt-Mode turning into the Positron Pack of the Ghostbusting Robot Mode... I don't think we will ever understand each other on this plane or any other.
The G1 style packaging really was the best, wasn't it? Not saying this out of nostalgia, it's just genuinely more eye-catching and distinctive than the modern line boxes are. You can's possibly mistake a G1 box for anything else.
I'm always hesitant when a sponsor comes along, due to that 1-Up Box video you reluctantly did once. I was pleasantly surprised to see you enjoying yourself. Good on you Thew!
@@ejcarron2283 The paints used in the custom transformers Thew received were too thick and goopy. They obscured details, looked shoddy, and judging by what he did when he handled them, felt nasty. Thinning paints before applying them would solve this problem.
You are single-handedly responsible for me getting back into Transformers! I've had to pack all mine up to keep my kids from destroying them. RESPECT SIR! I RESPECT YOU!
Before this was released, I was working on my own version of this concept. It was using the titans return Chromedome. The headmaster was Marty, also had an alternate head that was painted like Doc Brown.
Could base that hypothetical figure on the Kingdom Megatron (Beast) mould. At the time of posting, who holds the western-world toy-rights to Godzilla? I think it Jakks Pacific.
Thanks for the heads up/sponsored promotion; I just got my Gigawatt in from Zavvi (about six days, not bad at all for current condition delivery from the UK to the US Midwest) [If our local toy collectors’ convention had taken place last year, I would’ve looked for it there]
It essentially is. Thew just didn’t mention that the one in the book is described as having the scanner from Knight Rider, Batmobile fins, and something from the Ecto 1.
Love the RP1 book so much. It's like junkfood. It's not good for you, but it tastes great and goes down so easy. The movie was a fun romp as well, just not as special as the book.
Gawd, as soon as i saw that thumbnail I knew I was gonna be jealous, and dang am I. I got the Ghostbusters crossover ectotron a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it, seeing the BttF one I was so excited....until that dreaded "Pre-order, sold out" spread across every site I shop at. Man you are lucky
when transforming mine I folded the leg wheels and used the back thing as a watch and found I was the only one doing it, so funny to see you do that to 😂
I actually likes MP-05 more than MP-36 since at least it was designed to actually transform and be handled and won't rub paints off itself from just being handled. Also, that bigger gun mode makes it feel like an automag or similar powerful weapon.
Aww... original masterpiece Megatron. He might be a clunker, but he still brings the nostalgia vibes for me. Still got mine packed up around somewhere.
I love the Americanized movie accent. Fantastic. I purchased the Gigawatt and the Ectotron, largely because of the packaging. Without the darkening of the windscreen I don't know if I would have picked it up. Thew-diligence. Love it. MP-05 is not great, but so help me, but I still have a soft spot for him. He sits on my shelf in alt mode. Thanks Thew
About Kremzeek..... I love the original episode and it's always nice when it gets referenced. It's neat that one came with the Refraktor 3 pack I got, but I doubt I'd buy a figure of it by itself
Thanks for the Zavvi link... Just clicked yours and it linked me to the US page. I missed out on this one initially, due to Bots and Scalpers, so this was a nice Wednesday morning pick-up. Thanks Thew!
Hey, I like Kremzeek! So much so that I went to literally the first friend of mine with the Refraktor three-pack and said, "Give me the Kremzeek, please," and he said, "Take it, for free, I don't even want this, ew," and I was happy.
Funny you should mention the movie cars transformer combiner thing. I'm a parts engineer and Transformer collector who had quite a "light workload" this year so I have spent most of my free time designing just that. Although it will be 3D printable. Still only got about halfway done with 3 more to go. No 007 cars however, depending on how this turns out and how next year goes I might do a set of them next.
I'm just re-watching your video to see how yours came packed. It looks like they did you right Thew! For me, they used a box that was way too small, so they straight up folded the panel above the box all the way back onto itself then shipped it like that so there a massive crease that runs across it now. Also one of the corners of that tab was also bent on top of the fold. Its a bit of a bummer, since the box is part of the allure of this item. I may reach out to them just to say.. Hey mate, be collector friendly and use a larger box for shipping, so you don't have to ruin the box/package. It did arrive super quick especially for a US delivery... Hopefully others get a package job more like yours!
Just imagine if transformers did an all 80s themed combiner for a con exclusive. Delorian, ecto-1, a cobra vehicle, the a-team van, optimus prime. It would be all repaints but I would pay o the nose for it
With the crossovers expanding beyond Marvel and Starwars, and the RotF studio series Megatron, I def want something from Mad Max. Road Warrior, Beyond The Thunderdome, and Fury Road all have really good options.
Hopefully they'd retool the heck out of that SS DOTM Megatron for the Fury Road tanker. Thematically it should probably be a beefier femme bot along the lines of Strongarm, Pyra Magna. Strika and Clobber. With a suitably Mad Max name that may also double as a vague Norse mythology reference. Though while they're at it, they could make Gigawatt Prime out of Siege/Earthrise Astrotrain as a BttF 3 thing. Maybe hit that Godzilla v Kong movie license with retooled SS Grimlock and SS Starscream figures. Top it off with a Fast and Furious combiner. Then annoy everyone with Lord of the Rings Sauron/Ring Wraith retool of Hun-Gurr and Hobbit Smaug that is a TLK Dragonstorm heavy retool.
As much as I love gigawatt my biggest issue with him is flipping his chest plate/cover when trying to get the hood down over the head, It doesn’t feel like they gave enough room for it and it feels like it’s scraping the top of the head
Thew received Beans. Thew: Am I the Bean guy now? Me, a fan of Thew, and of Paul Rose aka Mr Biffo aka Beanus: Don't cross the streams, don't cross the streams, don't cross the Beans!
How do we feel about the crossovers. One was cool and a fun neat little thing. Than they did more like right after another after another and I stopped caring. I feel like this would have me more interested if they did them like one crossover a year or something
So wait there's also a Top Gun crossover Transformer now, and whatever that other one was? Have to wonder how long until we get the Mystery Machine crossover one. Awesome narration. Was not expecting.
Man, Thew's energy is downright infectious.
I love it! It's such a mood!
@CatHeadGravy lol
"What's the theme from Back to the Future?" *proceeds to hum every John Williams movie theme ever*
I was hoping he'd hum that one ABC Sonic the Hedgehog theme
That parody of the Ready Player One narration is the most hilariously spot on thing I've seen in ages.
Be careful, man. You're gonna get a copyright strike if you just read from Ready Player One like that.
Is that what he was imitating in the sepia tone spiel while unpacking Gigawatt?
@@zuttoaragi8349 Yes. That is exactly what Ready Player One is like.
It is not a good book.
@@ProjectThunderclaw Yikes...
Like 20 years ago, some guy made a custom Delorean transformer by modifying a G1 Sideswipe. Won awards for it. I keep wondering what he thinks about all this.
Think this retool is meant to be a reference to him?
My god, he found the one Gigawatt whose packaging wasn't crushed beyond recognition.
Mine came mint from pulse
Mine was also mint from Pulse.
Mines fine
Mine was mint from Amazon.
@@ronnielane8985 Mine was sent in a bubble mailer from Amazon, absolutely crushed lol.
Imagine a crossover with Fast and Furious with SS Dropkick being a remold of Toretto's car
Since the series just ended; the impala. There's even cybertron downshift that is a perfect mold.
@@aqua8785 By Impala, are you referring to Supernatural?
it will porbably be
either dom's charger
brian's supra
or brian's 2f2f skyline
or at a stretch mabye that car 19 minutes into the first film since it already has an autobot insignia
I really want them to do a Tron: Legacy Light Cycle, but thanks to bloody Disney, that's never going to happen.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer That would be sick as hell, but with them making that X-Men figure. All you can do is cross your fingers 🤞
And hope for the best
Thew's American voice sounds like Patrick Warburton playing Xavier Renegade Angel. :P
what dost cybertron
I see you're a Hotlink fan. Been looking to get my hands on his newest figure myself.

Is this the first Transformer that is also a MASK vehicle? :D
@Bassie B All the James Bond cars?
@Bassie B Probably one of the Aston Martins. Probably the one from Goldfinger
The crossovers are great, personally I'd like to see an Optimus Prime/ Trailer combo retrofitted into the WarRig from MadMax.

Omg that ready player one burn was TREMENDOUS!
Got this lovely lad for my birthday. He is amazing and i will cherish him forever
thew suddenly breaking into laughter with ZERO warning is what I live to see
The Biohazard reference!! I can't like this enough lol
Same!
The G1 style packaging really was the best, wasn't it? Not saying this out of nostalgia, it's just genuinely more eye-catching and distinctive than the modern line boxes are. You can's possibly mistake a G1 box for anything else.
Fully agree. G1 packaging was the REAL transformers
I'm always hesitant when a sponsor comes along, due to that 1-Up Box video you reluctantly did once. I was pleasantly surprised to see you enjoying yourself. Good on you Thew!
New rule: You can travel to any part in time you wish. But, NEVER set Gigawatt back to 2020.
A message to everyone who sends Thew custom painted Transformers:
Take a lesson from the Warhammer nerds and THIN YOUR PAINTS!
Hmm what do u mean exactly?
@@ejcarron2283
The paints used in the custom transformers Thew received were too thick and goopy. They obscured details, looked shoddy, and judging by what he did when he handled them, felt nasty.

I'm a former art student and I never thought of that! Something to keep in mind next time I do a customization lol
I like how he has more Flux Capacitors on his knees
Urghh.. That Bumble-Beans image still lingers in my mind..
I’m so looking forward to that eventual soundwave retrospective
Who else think that the big soundwave video is gonna be the best video on thews channel
Thew’s American voice sounds like the love child of Solid Snake and Epic Voice Guy.
I liked kremzeek. He was a cute little bugger innit?
The proper pronunciation for Gigawatt is obviously "Jiggawatt"
THATS IT MARTY! 1.21 GIGAWATTS!
I heard they spelled it "Jigowatt" in the script!
My brother plots to get two Gigawatts, then cut parts off of one of them so that he has 1.21 Gigawatts. XD
You are single-handedly responsible for me getting back into Transformers! I've had to pack all mine up to keep my kids from destroying them. RESPECT SIR! I RESPECT YOU!
Idk if it was actually intended, but when you said "Here's an ad-break" I got an actual ad.
Before this was released, I was working on my own version of this concept. It was using the titans return Chromedome. The headmaster was Marty, also had an alternate head that was painted like Doc Brown.
I feel like we’re gonna need a GodzillaXBeastWars crossover.
Could base that hypothetical figure on the Kingdom Megatron (Beast) mould. At the time of posting, who holds the western-world toy-rights to Godzilla? I think it Jakks Pacific.
2:40 this whole bit blows 'bumble-beans' straight out of the water, omg thew has trancended
and thew's car sale commercial impression is now gigawatt's voice. that's all there is to it. sold.
When I get mine I'm calling him Flux Capacitron. And you can't stop me.
Worth noting that you're apparently such a strong influencer that they've sold out of gigawatt.
Back to the Thewture
Using the Mr. Fusion as a watch is a BRILLIANT IDEA! OMG!
Anyone else get an automated response when sending the giveaway email? Saying that the giveaway was closed? Probably referring to the previous one?
I think as long as the email's in there, whatever bot he has looking through the emails will count it
Was going to say the same.
Yeah I got that
Was just logging in to this video again to mention this...
Thanks for the heads up/sponsored promotion; I just got my Gigawatt in from Zavvi (about six days, not bad at all for current condition delivery from the UK to the US Midwest) [If our local toy collectors’ convention had taken place last year, I would’ve looked for it there]
Here's to hoping for a figure of the tanker truck from Duel.
I guess DotM Megatron _kinda_ counts, but still...
I honestly would believe if that RPO section was actually in the book
It essentially is. Thew just didn’t mention that the one in the book is described as having the scanner from Knight Rider, Batmobile fins, and something from the Ecto 1.
Love the RP1 book so much. It's like junkfood. It's not good for you, but it tastes great and goes down so easy.
The movie was a fun romp as well, just not as special as the book.
IRONDUDE11000 I agree
I wonder how the guys at one-up box are doing. 😅
Love the ad break set up gag. Hit at just the right moment.
Back to the THEWture?
So I sent the giveaway email and got a automated response that it's closed, hope it's just a mistake.
It sent the same thing to me, and man have I been wanting a Spinister.
Same here
"THIS IS YOU. THIS IS WHO THEY THINK YOU ARE."
When you keep buying the merchandise, it's hard to argue with that, but it hurts my soul.
Here to mention the automatic email as well, not sure if I have to resend or something
I wasn‘t sure as well, so I @ed him on twitter like an hour ago. No reaction so far.
Gawd, as soon as i saw that thumbnail I knew I was gonna be jealous, and dang am I. I got the Ghostbusters crossover ectotron a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it, seeing the BttF one I was so excited....until that dreaded "Pre-order, sold out" spread across every site I shop at.

Thanks Thew
I have an ocean's worth of salt for whoever decided to keep the release of Gigawatt in such small numbers
I can't even begin to successfully describe how happy seeing you that happy about the DeLorean makes me.
Gigawatt is amazing (And the wristwatch thing works SO WELL)
You have no idea how happy that tease for a Soundwave video made me
Picked R.E.D. Soundwave and Megatron up. They are very nice for display.
Did use a little bit of paint and gunpla markers to retouch.
Last time I saw Zavvi branding anywhere, the Titanium Series was the latest big thing in Transformers.
Damn I so want that spinister. I can't find one in the UK at all.. :/
I think that custom battletrap/flywheels thing was an homage to the gobot Chaos
"Why can I not do a big Soundwave video due to what I am being?!"
Mate, you haven't even made a big Optimus video either. Give that a thought-
About Kremzeek..... I love the original episode and it's always nice when it gets referenced. It's neat that one came with the Refraktor 3 pack I got, but I doubt I'd buy a figure of it by itself

Love that RP1 rant

I had a legitimately great time watching this. Your sincerity is fantastic
Just clicked the link and they are sold out. I'm going to chalk that up to Thew's amazing product placement skills.
I love it when thew does zavi stuff because he thinks we hate it but it’s just a mini review
This is a surprisingly alright young Optimus impression bahaha during the Zavvi BTTF opening.
My Gigwatt box was smushed because Amazon shipped it in a bubble mailer. Today i see 2 in Walmart and like 20 immaculate ones in Toys R Us.

Sorry, Thewtimus Prime, but I loves me some Kremzeek. If you don't want him, I'll take him!
Keep your eyes peeled for the inevitable Kremzeek giveaway. Soon you could have your very own nasty wee yellow man
How do we feel about the crossovers. One was cool and a fun neat little thing. Than they did more like right after another after another and I stopped caring. I feel like this would have me more interested if they did them like one crossover a year or something
Don't forget the entire waves of Star Wars and Marvel crossover Transformers from a few years ago.
In the IDW Comics, we discover that Ginawatt was a former Decepticon turned Autobot!!
A living testament to being very careful about which butterflies you step on when you timetravel.
YOOOO, i loved that you made that a wristwatch! 😂, I cannot express how much I love this idea!
Call it a hunch, but I think Thew may have opinions on Ready Player One
I had no idea you were looking for a new joy sparker. Welcome to Switch-ville.
Awesome video you definitely put a bit more light in these dark times
I have that Marty McPrime T-shirt... kinda wish the toy looked more like that! Loving the complete nochalance-failure though
meanwhile we have the Buzzworthy Bumblebee sub-line as in all the Bumblebee figures repackaged into nightmarish sea of yellow.
Literally just ordered the tarantino experience on vinyl yesterday from zavvi it's like they know 😳
So wait there's also a Top Gun crossover Transformer now, and whatever that other one was? Have to wonder how long until we get the Mystery Machine crossover one. Awesome narration. Was not expecting.
Sidewipe, brings a mental image to mind that I definitely could have done without. Loved the review Brutha.
