"One of these is too rare to open. I'll be the judge of that!"
Five seconds later...
I see you, Dendera. That’s a solid marketing strategy 👀
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!!!
"Big Project"
Finally... *Skids Retrospective 2!*
*Jumps in the air*
Idk if two toys would really make a big video.
Big congrats to Rogue Limb, wish I wasn't on the wrong side of the atlantic to come out for that.
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
4:45 thanks for the kind words!
Some of those Kreos nearly broke Thew into giggles again. XD
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
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.
jumped on that notification the microsecond I saw 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
That's a wonderful shirt!
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!
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!
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!
17:04 it more like his TF Animated cybertoien head
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 .
Rogue Limb! I'm wearing my shirt right now!!! Good on you Thew, love the band.
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
That is an A+ shirt you've got there, Thew.
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.
14:35 2011 is when it all started
Not even a quarter of the way thru the vid; that shirt is AMAZING and I honestly want one
Can’t wait to see that huge project.
love the Izzard nails and shirt to be fair
17:06 That's actually the helmet from TFA Cybertron mode Megatron!
2:01 *NOOO!!!*
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!
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.
"Can't say the same for lego bricks"
*Mixels have left the chat*
Oooo, new big video in the works!!! Excited to see it!
Hey thew! This is Gavin. I can’t wait to see that nemesis! I am extremely excited!
OMG that go bot sub, I remember that guy, I loved it. Need one now.
Some of those Kreo heads are kinda cool, could be used for a custom.
17:04 Animated Jet/Cybertronian Megs on DOTM?
Sentinel also had an Animated head.
Id love to get my hands on at least one constructbot. I just love weird obscure sometimes failed things
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.
Craig's art reminds me of Transtech!
After hard outdoor working at sister's place, to watch Thew's unboxing vid is nice cap for the day.
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
Hey, congrats on making it to the finals! Godspeed!
IVE BEEN WANTING THAT KREO VORTEX FOR AGES
That’s awesome about your band!
Music you played in the laptop is awesome. Yes.
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
The kreons and the combiner sets were fun. They looked like nothing but had personality as figures.
4:19 I _do_ know a certain book full of spiders...
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.
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
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
eyyyy well dome on the M2TM front my dude!
3:46 and save matches! 😂
the head on that bigger kreo megatron looks a lot like TFA megatron's head from the first episode. in shape, anyways
So sorry to hear you have a thlew, hope you get better!
It's always a good time for a good ol' LEGO butt whack.
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).
Best of luck to Rogue Limb!
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.
Construct Bots are Hasbro's attempt at Bionicle but at least they can transform.
best of luck at the show!! The biggest downside of being overseas is not being able to go
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.
I like the combiners.
Oh, those Construct Bots are wonderfully naff.
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.
Good luck at the show!
Man good luck on the show!
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,
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.
You can have unlimited knockoff beatdowns with the kreo figures.
aw yeah Dammit, Open
First name "Dammit"
Middle name ","
Last name "Open"
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 ❤️
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.
great video as usual!
hope you feel better real soon!
luv ya bud!
Ah, you are against some friends in Pagan sword hahaha, good stuff dude, i'll see you all there!
I love that jellyfish shirt 🪼
Woah cool shirt I like it
8:29 "and here's a picture of your uncle Jim!"
:Eddie izzard thank me later
12:43 I had this vs set!
Thew and @TransmissionsPodcast crossover! My two favourite Transformers channels! Thew you'll have to do a show with them.
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
10 seconds in, and that shirt rules, sir!
I hope you win that gig thew!
Love the King Diamond reference. I swear I’m one of like 10 people who get that 😂
oh fuck yeah thew, good luck with your show mate!
YAY!!!
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
Thew you’re looking good, man, cold or no!
Pink? It’s gotta be an Arcee retrospective
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…
excellent shirt
"[...]someone who has a firm grasp on the English Language. Nay, a stranglehold."
9 minutes later: "Probably kids would though it were great."
Also, joking aside, I'm neither a UK nor a metal head, but I genuinely do hope you and Greg pull it off at Metal 2 the Masses. That would be awesome as hell.
Kre-O had potential (way more than "Built To Rule"). I liked their take on the mini-figures. Unfortunately, by the time they figured themselves out and put out some better sets, they had already burned up whatever interest and goodwill the market had for them.
I bought one Kre-o. Once. Mirage. That was enough for me. Not great.
(I did get a few minifigures though. Spinister was cute.)
We need a vtuber model for Thew, but like as a big joyful autobot chad.
I'm starting to get ideas for what I can do with this box full of spiders... 👀
See you rock, react, and listen to metal. It was awesome. You should include it in your videos more often. It is like a Chef tasting fine ood.
