"One of these is too rare to open. I'll be the judge of that!"
Five seconds later...
That last Megatron head sculpt felt to me like the TF Animated version from the first chapter, before dear old Megs got bombed to Earth. And that Kreo body is so many levels of wrong for that head!!!
I see you, Dendera. That’s a solid marketing strategy 👀
"Big Project"
Finally... *Skids Retrospective 2!*
*Jumps in the air*
Idk if two toys would really make a big video.
Remember when Kre-O went hard on the mini figs because they seemed to be the only ones that really sold. Had more than a few, including the weird combiners. To be fair Kre-O was a dramatic upgrade from Built to Rule with their ragdoll proportions.
If only the Construct-Bots were compatible with Bionicle and Technic, then they could've at least had some value due to the head sculpts and other more custom pieces being usable for your own creations, but they couldn't even get that right.
And when I called to order a replacement part when one of the c-clips broke, I wasn’t able to without exchanging the entire set. The later sets got rid of 5mm ports altogether in favor of those c-clips
I’ve found that kreo brick bot heads can fit onto the construct bot balljoints, albeit somewhat loosely in the case of the one I tried it with (the head from Kreo’s tank Megatron) so maybe you can find something compatible to stick the construct bot heads on
They were not compatible at all i believe
Big congrats to Rogue Limb, wish I wasn't on the wrong side of the atlantic to come out for that.
4:45 thanks for the kind words!
Some of those Kreos nearly broke Thew into giggles again. XD
So excited for Rogue Limb getting up and out there! I showed you guys off to my friends and they all think you're great!
I haven't really listened to their stuff, but from the bits I've heard in these videos they have a real nice chunky sound that I rather enjoy ^^
8:31 I love this confusion.
17:04 Animated Jet/Cybertronian Megs on DOTM?
Sentinel also had an Animated head.
Just buried my Dad, and this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Sorry for your loss, man.
Sorry for your loss, friend.
Sorry for your loss🤍
My condolences, my guy..
You have my sincerest condolences and apologies stranger, loss is never easy, we just gotta remind ourselves to take it one day at a time and just keep going
12:51 that is actually not the Optimus form the 2 pack dark energon heist set that is the 90 piece version from kreo it was just a Optimus
17:04 it more like his TF Animated cybertoien head
15:30 I slightly agree on what you mean about combiners, I love the individuals as much as the combiner but I only ever display teams as combiners because it saves space
16:12 I had some construct bots as a kid and I hated them. They were impossible to play with but they had cool plastic boxes with the factions logos on it . those boxes were the only thing I kept from them the actual toys I threw away .
glorious fun Thew! congrats on the come up with the band, well deserved.
i loved the Kreo GI Joe stuff, still got my little Technodrome displayed!
17:06 That's actually the helmet from TFA Cybertron mode Megatron!
14:35 2011 is when it all started
Good luck at metal of the masses! That’s an awesome accomplishment to get to that point, one of my goals is to play in a big concert like that. Cheers!
Machine Robo is a Japanese toy line made by Bandai, released in 1982. In 1983, Tonka made a deal with Bandai to reuse the molds from Machine Robo as a new line, the Gobots. Most of the Gobots are renamed Machine Robo toys, though Rock Lords are something Tonka created.
While that's true, that figure of Night Ranger Thew received is still a knockoff. The bootleggers were just able to use the original Japanese name somehow. Machine Robo was officially released by Bandai in European countries as Robo Machine.
16:07 hey I love construct bot there like if Transformers x bionicle and yeah they did do to well but I my opinion they were great especially if you bought the the entire series plus some double you can create something way better than Hasbor can ever think of or use them for spare parts like for customization or background stuff
great unboxing as always but I was shocked and amazed to hear the news of your chance to get into Bloodstock! That’s incredible! If I were you, I would consider that to be a dream come true. Congrats, Thew!
16:40 I had that Megatron years ago and I am *positive* I never built him into the bot mode. I got him to have a decent sized rep of that DotM truck mode and that was it.
seems like we got hit by the sickness at the same time lol. Hope you're feeling better now Thew :)
Guess you could say you guys were
DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS
jumped on that notification the microsecond I saw it
That's a wonderful shirt!
Rogue Limb! I'm wearing my shirt right now!!! Good on you Thew, love the band.
I was 13 when the construct-bots came out and I loved them. They definitely didnt age that well but I still have the Silverbolt and Smokescreen figures. They were by far my favorites
7:09 reminds me of fireman Sam
A friend gave me the Kreo Starscream for my birthday years ago. I'm pretty sure I built it up in jet form and never built the robot form. The jet looks alright, it's still sitting on top of a book case I think, but the robot did not look great. It came with a cool Starscream minifig though!
I had the constructbot starscream as a kid. I did like it and wanted more but my middle-of-nowhere retailer stopped stocking them immediately when I was pretty much the only person who bought one,
Nice!
Maru Malandra mentioned!
Also, I wonder if Hasbro will ever come back to block figures of their own, specially seeing how that Lego Optimus Prime has been a complete success.
Oooo, new big video in the works!!! Excited to see it!
Not even a quarter of the way thru the vid; that shirt is AMAZING and I honestly want one
2:01 *NOOO!!!*
Id love to get my hands on at least one constructbot. I just love weird obscure sometimes failed things
After hard outdoor working at sister's place, to watch Thew's unboxing vid is nice cap for the day.
3:46 and save matches! 😂
"Can't say the same for lego bricks"
*Mixels have left the chat*
Hey thew! This is Gavin. I can’t wait to see that nemesis! I am extremely excited!
I immediately looked up Dendura and listened to a bunch of their shit. I am glad to say you have successfully gotten me into them, and that they are actually my shit. Thanks Thew!
PS - The jellyfish shirt goes INSANE
For me Kreo got me with the Battle Changers. That one for me worked but they were bargain bin already. They were going out by that time too.
The Kreo alt modes were sometimes pretty good, the big Optimus is actually really good.
And they were better than the earlier Built To Rule line.
God, built to rule is such a faff, i had the hotshit for YEARS. I couldnt be happier that he's gone.
That is an A+ shirt you've got there, Thew.
Kreo are really fun if you toss the instructions for bot mode. You also have to be good at building with limited pieces, but I still enjoy them. Bought a ton of them on clearance and if you take 2 sets per character they can be pretty solid.
OMG that go bot sub, I remember that guy, I loved it. Need one now.
the head on that bigger kreo megatron looks a lot like TFA megatron's head from the first episode. in shape, anyways
Can’t wait to see that huge project.
4:19 I _do_ know a certain book full of spiders...
I'm into rogue limb. Great friggan band dude! Good luck!!! You may hear this a lot, but one of my fav hardcore bands has always been shockwave, and while different, I still get those vibes from rogue.... good on ya man.
Craig's art reminds me of Transtech!
Some of those Kreo heads are kinda cool, could be used for a custom.
love the Izzard nails and shirt to be fair
12:43 I had this vs set!
That’s awesome about your band!
I liked kero but I only collected the little ones and the smaller combiners
Hey, congrats on making it to the finals! Godspeed!
Construct Bots are Hasbro's attempt at Bionicle but at least they can transform.
I bought one Kre-o. Once. Mirage. That was enough for me. Not great.
(I did get a few minifigures though. Spinister was cute.)
The kreons and the combiner sets were fun. They looked like nothing but had personality as figures.
Music you played in the laptop is awesome. Yes.
8:29 "and here's a picture of your uncle Jim!"
:Eddie izzard thank me later
eyyyy well dome on the M2TM front my dude!
Kreo has definitely not aged well. Bot modes were abysmal though the alt modes were pretty fun. Still have a bin of all of them in vehicle mode stored somewhere. The large scale Prime, and Magatron were probably the best designed while most of the others looked like some of the earliest Lego sets. Really looing forward to Lego's official rendition of a transforming Bumblebee later in the year.
I have a friend with a Construct Bots Starscream that she really likes. I thought the Megatron looked kind of neat (though the guy who's pics I saw of it I think gave it a cape). I'm tempted to check out Bumblebee because they made him a triple-changer, but I don't think it's a huge concern. They are sketchy (if less of a nightmare than Kreo).
Has depressing day, sees new thew vid, day is saved.
I heard the Missus in the background at 16:00. Nice to know that our boy isn't alone anymore an has someone in his life... I didn't like seeing him broken there for a bit... as he had us all worried for his mental health for a bit there. Good for you brother!
So sorry to hear you have a thlew, hope you get better!
oh fuck yeah thew, good luck with your show mate!
Always a better day wen Thew uploads, hope you’re recovering my mans. Also I hope Rogue Limb wins the finals cuz I want the stars to align where I can tell my metalhead friends “Yea yea check out this duo” only to explain to them that ones a Transformers mega nerd ❤️
The Kreo box was hilarious!! xD Take care, Thew! I guess flu season is all over the world. x.x Also: congrats and best luck at Metal for the Masses!!¡ :D
aw yeah Dammit, Open
First name "Dammit"
Middle name ","
Last name "Open"
You can knock Kreo Transformers all you want but they're still a thousand times better than the old Built to Rule line from the Armada days. The Hot Shot toy alone deserves an entire video just on how funny it looks.
Ah, you are against some friends in Pagan sword hahaha, good stuff dude, i'll see you all there!
IVE BEEN WANTING THAT KREO VORTEX FOR AGES
Good luck at the show!
I'll gladly take those kreo and connects
16:14 fuckin made me choke on my breakfast lmao
best of luck at the show!! The biggest downside of being overseas is not being able to go
We need a vtuber model for Thew, but like as a big joyful autobot chad.
great video as usual!
hope you feel better real soon!
luv ya bud!
Man good luck on the show!
That's an awesome shirt. Where'd you get it?
I'm starting to get ideas for what I can do with this box full of spiders... 👀
It's kind of weird it seems the only toy ever made of GB Blackwock was in Kreao, right? I mean, that there's only an unofficial lego thing of Circuit Breaker is more understandable, but Blackrock was a pretty big part of the G1 comic! At some point, I hope there's an official like GI Joe-style pack or something of Blackrock, Circuit Breaker, Buster, Spike… Maybe even some deeper cuts like Bomber Bill, Robot-Master, Joey Slick, The Mechanic, the rest of the Neo-Knights… Like a box set of "Humans iof G1" or a series would be great! Oh well, one can dream…
What's happened to your usual box cutter?
Does anyone by chance know anything about the artist for the one at 7:50, I'm trying to help a friend find the artist but the name alone doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere
I'm not ashamed to admit,but at the time I bought pretty much all the kreo sets available,I still have them lol,I enjoyed them at the time,then lego brought us Optimus,rumour is there is a bumblebee coming
10 seconds in, and that shirt rules, sir!
I follow a bunch of vtubers at this point and one of them had the epiphany that, aside from the whole "anonymousness protects the identity of women and trans folks in an increasingly hostile internet" thing, that having a "mask" on, in this case a vtuber avatar, allows them to be much more true to themselves than they otherwise would be with their normal face on camera. this was from someone who has been on camera in person, and alternates between real cam and vtuber avatar, and it is immediately apparent how much more...reigned in they are, when not behind the anime face. like on camera they're a relatively normal, dorky person, while behind the avatar, they're a ridiculous, unabashed, thirsty goblin of a person(it's Bao. I'm talking about Bao.)
also, a vtuber avatar is always ~beautiful~ and ready to go, so you can just roll out of bed, turn the tracking on, and go, without having to pretty up or anything first. and it's an easily marketable character. there's a lot of benefits to it.
Thew and @TransmissionsPodcast crossover! My two favourite Transformers channels! Thew you'll have to do a show with them.
I like the combiners.
Oh, those Construct Bots are wonderfully naff.
I hope you win that gig thew!
It's always a good time for a good ol' LEGO butt whack.
You can have unlimited knockoff beatdowns with the kreo figures.
A Vtuber... cool!! And then your band in Bloodstock! I wish I could go.
\m/ Congrats on your metal success \m/
I am in fact into it.
And I will check out Dendura.
