It’s alright, it’s mainly my fault for having the volume all the way up when watching it at the start, I’m normally not up this early in the morning lol
You can always tell how much of a good time Thew had at a con by how wrecked he is in the opening seconds of these videos. Hoarse, tired, and on a comedown from the best time of his life.
There's no SoC Exkaiser, unfortunately. You may have seen Takara Masterpiece Great Exkaiser (yeah, they made Masterpiece figures for the Brave series... but only Exkaiser and then they stopped...) which was amazing but unfortunately pretty much impossible to get. The only Braves in the SoC line are GaoGaiGar and Goldymarg (who becomes a giant hand that attaches to GaoGaiGar and holds a giant golden hammer, it's awesome).
cannonfodder4000 Liokaizer is one of the rarest G1 toys, most are in pretty bad shape, so finding one in good shape in the original packaging would be (to a Transformers fan) the closest thing to the actual holy grail, hence the term "holy grail" being used for a lot of particularly hard to get toys.
I pointed this out in a comment a few months ago, but SS blackout, and potp Abominus.....on the Skywarp shrine....this is treason of a inexcusable proportion
Maybe someday I'll work up the nerve to actually come and speak to you. Or anyone. : ' ) EDIT: oh wait I literally said this after last year as well lmao
I would say first but that's not creative enough. So...... uh GIRNDCORE! that made me deaf at the start because allot of other videos are fairly quiet compared to Thew's AWESOMENESS!!!! WOw and now Thew has a not broken version of the only Power Rangers Megazord I own
I really wish we had a Transformers convention down here in Australia, because the TF convention culture is something I need in my life. Apart from my brother, I don't know any other hardcore Transformers fans. It'd be awesome to have an excuse for all the Aussie TF fans to meet up in person and just talk all things giant space robots. Or maybe I just have to conveniently line a trip to the UK up with TFNation one year.
You know, Thew, I gotta tell you. I watch you getting all these things from people, and I'm sure some folks might feel jealous, but me, I personally love how you always take these things in the spirit they were given: to bring you joy. It's one of the best things about your channel, honestly.
As a person infamous for once being an extraordinarily "entertaining" drinker, I know the feels. Sometimes I'm genuinely tired and not actually hung over, people. I can't drink like I did when I was 15 anymore.
It was good to see you again even if we didn't talk much and mostly just made funny faces at each other. I'm glad you like the Brave - that's Exkaiser/King Exkaiser!
Ohhh I'm so glad I put that predator skydive back now so you could have him. Me and Jon did a build video of that wilko thing the thursday night and by gawd it's trash I broke one of the bits in five minutes. Energon Demolishor! mate
You should do a live KO beat down next year. I feel that could be really fun if you involved the crowd. Use a plastic sheet to protect the audience like Gallagher with the watermelon.
They say there was only one figure for every box of tfp figures, I assume its around 18-25 in those boxes. And at time most other figures were being cancelled because of the overlap of releases. Dotm Soundwave and Wheeljack were victims of this. My source were from a variety of Tf reviewers.
Where were you on Sunday afternoon? I was wandering around The Forge display area looking for you. I still have a copy of my artwork of Stalker for you.
3:15 which one is Mcfeely? 4:28 too many thew's 12:18 ah I know how you fe- Ahhhhh **** my ear ! 13:46 Yooooooo! Yea dude vintage are cheap 27:23 alright! We got Gundams and that teeth thing and...whao whoa whoa...it can do that? The figure can do that?
If it makes you feel better, a local shop (Italy) shelfs that same Magnus for 233 EUR. I know. WHAT?? And yessssss, HG Epyon. He's one merry murdercherry.
Dude thats a legitim knock of megastorm from beast wars 2 and if you have that thing we're you can put batteries it's the original south Korean version not the recolored 2003
OMG THAT TOY IN 24:54 I actually had a version of that toy but it was mostly black and white. Think something like that robot from Dexter's Lab. IDK if it was the original or a KO but it was always a blast having that toy. It was, in essence, my first Transformer. I also recall mine having a yellow sword I think.
I was just about to take a sip of water when you put the chattering teeth onto the Red Dragon Thunderzord. 2 seconds off and I would've spit all over my laptop. :P
The nice thing about Gunpla is that Bandai tries to keep fresh print runs going of all the kits, no matter how old they are. So most of the time, you're able to find any kits from any era for retail or close to retail price, with the exception of limited run stuff like the "Limited Model" series or P-Bandai kits. Dang I wish I could afford more than 1 con a year at the moment, but G-Fest takes priority.
Ah man, it was all good wasn't it? D.C. Douglas' zombie thing was...different. But awesome. Sorry for grabbing you Sunday morning, but thanks for signing my convention book for my kids!
Hard to tell if you’re being a wise ass...but on the off chance that this really happened to you, I’m so sorry, Dicky. That’s the worst. Those creatures can become full-fledged family members and it hurts like hell to lose them.
Oh dear, Mp Delta Magnus is such a brilliant brick of nostalgia, taking me back to before my childhood to Diaclone! :) Thinking of getting THF Ultra now as I have the MP mold now already :)
Good haul,hopefully you'll review that Magnus. Heard hes got quite the butt flap. And hell yeah,Shane Embury is one hell of a bassist. Your story reminds me of when I went to see Skeletonwitch,Enslaved,and Amon Amarth in Tampa,FL and see the dudes from Goatwhore around. Was too in awe to say anything ha ha.
That's Brave Exkaiser! Well, technically the tiny car guy is Exkaiser. When he combines with the trailer he's King Exkaiser. Doncha love these names Japan comes up with?
I cannot convey to you, the depths that my burning, soul shattering jealousy goes to. So happy you had a great time, hopefully see you next year if I overpower my crippling social anxiety
I think the 40k mini is a custom Iron Warriors; WarSmith. Hmmm! I guess that legion used the most battle Automata (robots). Also they are the most Death Metal and grind core of Legions So I guess it is kinda appropriate for you.
32:30 I'm clad that you have use for that tape, it was just sitting at the bottom of my drawer. Hope we get to see a review of that soon ;) Cheers, Markus H, Volunteer at TFN18
maybe some here can help me as a Child (around 2001-2005ish) i had a KO version upscale of a Classics Astrotrain mode but with a cybertron megatron head and was around leader class do u know what it was would be nice to know some of my childhood again
I actually lowkey collect Bakugan beside my transformers. Short version is their card has a sheet of metal in it, and the magnet is actually in the guy himself, and it pulls the latch holding them as a ball. Also I really hope someday I can jump the pond and got to TFNation someday.
oh bruh seriously lost it at bakugan. I collected the crap out of those in college. Yeah there was a alleged game you played with them but I mostly got em because they were transformers esque. if you are interested PM me and i could help you with a bunch of info on the episode for free. Love bakugan. As time went on they became really complex and it amazed me what you could get out of a single marble. the first one you had in your hand was juggernoid bakugan.wikia.com/wiki/Juggernoid couldn't quite catch the others :D
The dude with the Screen on his face was likely the older brother Minimus Ambus, Dominus Ambus, but from the Functionist universe where they did evil surgery on him to make him more subservient.

Oh whoops, i forgot to turn the volume down on the intro. What is this, 2007?
nah, i watched too much YTPs, i got used to the earrape
It's alright. It gives the video that "vintage Thew" vibe.
DJ DPad “ Vintage Thew”... I LIKE IT!!!!!!

I absolutely lost it at the Bob the Builder screwdriver. What a world we live in.
"Reverse Santa Claus, taking everyone's toys away" XD
The Brave is... Oh, hang on, i need to do this right.
*ahem*
BRAVE EX-KAISAAAAAHHH!
You're welcome.
@@EVAUnit4A they... May have? They definitely did one for GaoGaiGar.
There's no SoC Exkaiser, unfortunately.

@@TwentySeven1337 Goldion Hammer. God, GaoGaiGar is ridiculous.
... I kinda wanna see Thew's reaction to it.
5:29 I'm so glad to be so engrossed into Transformers as to appreciate the full meaning behind that statement.
the joys of being a nerd
Amen my brudda.
lel whats the full meaning, cause he reviewed that yellow drillhorn?
cannonfodder4000 Liokaizer is one of the rarest G1 toys, most are in pretty bad shape, so finding one in good shape in the original packaging would be (to a Transformers fan) the closest thing to the actual holy grail, hence the term "holy grail" being used for a lot of particularly hard to get toys.
Oh that's it, yeah i heard takara doesnt wanna reissue those japanese toys for whatever reason
34:29 Oh my God, I saw that in a store once and lost it at *SANATATION*
Your username is both fantastic and accurate.
Nice I see jobbys name on the name tag lol hoped hobby see this lol
I pointed this out in a comment a few months ago, but SS blackout, and potp Abominus.....on the Skywarp shrine....this is treason of a inexcusable proportion
I think it proves how good Abominus is
Carlos D Rodriguez still treason tho
Is that...THAT IS STUDIO SERIES BLACKOUT WHAT THE SHIT?!
DownsSyndromeDanny i must say sir you have very good vision.
Yay transformers adventure adams
26:50 Unknown Transforming Robot.
I need this song in my life again.
Maybe someday I'll work up the nerve to actually come and speak to you. Or anyone.
: ' )
EDIT: oh wait I literally said this after last year as well lmao
Haha samesies.
I love the name tag hello I’m jobby the hong
Well, after that opening, I think I'm fully awake now. O_O
Lost it at the dragon chattering teeth thing
NEXT YEAR!!! Next year I'm there and I'm buying you a drink.
"Mecha Mecca"
I love it
is 'Stan Bushing' considered a term?
Are you stan bushing me? Of course it is!
I would say first but that's not creative enough. So...... uh GIRNDCORE! that made me deaf at the start because allot of other videos are fairly quiet compared to Thew's AWESOMENESS!!!!
WOw and now Thew has a not broken version of the only Power Rangers Megazord I own
Maybe when I get more room........... and actually can afford to do so.

Anyone else think that "DragonZord" looks an awful lot like DragReder from Kamen Rider Ryuki/Dragon Knight?
That Epyon and Wing Zero from the same wave were the first two Gundams I ever built; took me all day... that whip was a nightmare.
You know, Thew, I gotta tell you. I watch you getting all these things from people, and I'm sure some folks might feel jealous, but me, I personally love how you always take these things in the spirit they were given: to bring you joy. It's one of the best things about your channel, honestly.
Oh, that G2 Ramjet is beautiful. I always wanted SG Thundercracker as well.
dude I love how you just start feeling better as you go through this just recaling what happened seams to fill you with energie man.

That Warhammer minifig looks like it was based on your Spotlight Thew robot mode...the one that turns into a drum kit...
You should do a live KO beat down next year. I feel that could be really fun if you involved the crowd. Use a plastic sheet to protect the audience like Gallagher with the watermelon.
TFP Soundwave!! They say that's the rarest in the TFP toylike! You're a lucky scout there!
Is he that rare? I saw loads of him in my local toystore when Prime just came out.
They say there was only one figure for every box of tfp figures, I assume its around 18-25 in those boxes. And at time most other figures were being cancelled because of the overlap of releases. Dotm Soundwave and Wheeljack were victims of this. My source were from a variety of Tf reviewers.
'i've never been to a gig before where they played the same song twice'. Not a U2 fan then.
accurate
40:43 Thew you are hilarious. (Look at Thew's nametag)
OK, that's it, it's time to do a Predator video. You've got 'em all now!!
...Please? For Light Piping?? :D
Where were you on Sunday afternoon? I was wandering around The Forge display area looking for you. I still have a copy of my artwork of Stalker for you.
If you haven't done it by now, slap it in an envelope and send it to him.
Aggh I forgot to get my obligatory selfie with you this year mate. Glad you took it!! 😂😂
So My conspiracy was correct... Jobbythehong and Thew Adams... there one in the same!!!! DAMMIT SWIVEL!
Dammit swivel sounds more like a shipping name.
"Hello, my name is JobbytheHong." Oh, Thew, you cheeky little ratbag. You're adorable. Keep on yourself, boyo, love it.
I recently got hot soldiers centurion too ohhh it is awesome 😁😁😁
The snaps at the end makes me realise I didn't take pics with anyone. D:
Sounds like you're going to have the con crud. I got it when I got back from GenCon a few weeks ago.
Good to see you again mate! Hope that lil Heatseeker didn't get lost
I found him right afterwards!
Thew, dont worry, I've got you covered on the name for the knock off dirt boss...Undirtcover Boss
The knock off dirt boss shall be called "soil manager"
Mafi-Earth?
26:48 Unknown Transforming Robot!
3:15 which one is Mcfeely?
4:28 too many thew's
12:18 ah I know how you fe- Ahhhhh **** my ear !
13:46 Yooooooo! Yea dude vintage are cheap
27:23 alright! We got Gundams and that teeth thing and...whao whoa whoa...it can do that? The figure can do that?
Who are vintage? If they're cheap, I'm going to give them a look.
If it makes you feel better, a local shop (Italy) shelfs that same Magnus for 233 EUR. I know. WHAT??
And yessssss, HG Epyon. He's one merry murdercherry.
i got that knock off devastator man!! LOL..IM leaving it on card for "value"
Dude thats a legitim knock of megastorm from beast wars 2 and if you have that thing we're you can put batteries it's the original south Korean version not the recolored 2003
The whiny kid from masterforce is named Shuta. I'm not proud that I know that
*new Ironhide swooping in to steal all old Ironhide's good bits*
"Oh, how it pains me to do this!"
i got greens beans potatoes tomatoes lamb ram hogs dogs YOU NAME IT
that intro was LOUD
I have that KO G1 devastator and also superion. It may surprise you. In combined mode it’s pretty fun
Cant wait for the next KO beatdown with Thomas the Tank and Bikeimus Prime.
OMG THAT TOY IN 24:54 I actually had a version of that toy but it was mostly black and white. Think something like that robot from Dexter's Lab. IDK if it was the original or a KO but it was always a blast having that toy. It was, in essence, my first Transformer. I also recall mine having a yellow sword I think.
I'm hoping to go to TFNATION next year
Same my guy
Same here
I agree with the above comments
We all are.
No-hoh-hoh-ho... for beginners that epyon's gonna be a nightmare to put together. that's why they're quite cheap.
I was just about to take a sip of water when you put the chattering teeth onto the Red Dragon Thunderzord. 2 seconds off and I would've spit all over my laptop. :P
I have finally achieved my goal of appearing on a big YT channel in some kind of form, glad you liked it Thew, sorry it wasn’t Diamonds
That purple WFC Optimus knockoff is what Crosshairs Productions should have used for SG Prime rather than a custom painted Beast Hunters Prime...
Oh man i built that epyon in early 2000. Great kit although if you're spoiled by real master grade it might disappoint. Heat whip is fun to play with.
Save valvotorns packaging: it WURKS AS A PRETENDER SHELL!!!1111

Theeeewwww.. since you have the war for Cybertron cliffjumper... Can I have the bumblebee you have? Been after him for ages XD
I hope go to the con one day
Ah man, it was all good wasn't it? D.C. Douglas' zombie thing was...different. But awesome. Sorry for grabbing you Sunday morning, but thanks for signing my convention book for my kids!
My cat died :(
Good for you.
Press F to pay respect.

You were the "LOGIC LOGIC LOGIC!," guy! Sorry about the cats!
Oh dear, Mp Delta Magnus is such a brilliant brick of nostalgia, taking me back to before my childhood to Diaclone! :) Thinking of getting THF Ultra now as I have the MP mold now already :)
One of the guys pictured in the end picture slideshow kinda looks like the "Why Heroquest is so Great" guy. Maybe it is him....maybe...
Good haul,hopefully you'll review that Magnus. Heard hes got quite the butt flap.
And hell yeah,Shane Embury is one hell of a bassist. Your story reminds me of when I went to see Skeletonwitch,Enslaved,and Amon Amarth in Tampa,FL and see the dudes from Goatwhore around. Was too in awe to say anything ha ha.
The podcast with you is up now on Patreon and will be up for free next week, i promise we did talk about a bit more then file formats XD
Kapow toys are awsome i got LG twintwist for my LG topspin and ive now got a after Christmas present LG big powerd set KAPOWTOYS 10/10

holy crap that epyon kit is a relic from the 90's. I'll be surprised if it doesn't crumble to dust in your hands. Also the Brave kit is ExKaiser
Adventure was supposed to be the Japanese version of RID 2015, but it also got a few Generations legends in there somehow...
100£ for masterpiece ultra Magnus??? Wow! Great deal!
I think the 40k mini is a custom Iron Warriors; WarSmith.
Hmmm! I guess that legion used the most battle Automata (robots). Also they are the most Death Metal and grind core of Legions
So I guess it is kinda appropriate for you.
if you want to know what Version I would've picked the Feral Rex version as it's more true to the Pedaking himself
Masterpiece ultra magnus is why I will NEVER replace mp10 in my collection.
Sorry to be that guy but it's not a warhammer miniature, it's a warmachine cygnar solo, captain Arlan Strangewayes. Still awesome.
Ngl, I want that Aquos Percival (Blue Bakugan) to bad he's from the original series and is no longer a valid game piece.
Don't send you more stuff?!? You are one of the candidates I selected to send my entire collection of 230 transformers when I die... hmmwhaaah. \m/
32:30 I'm clad that you have use for that tape, it was just sitting at the bottom of my drawer. Hope we get to see a review of that soon ;) Cheers, Markus H, Volunteer at TFN18

That's from Ray/ilovemess' "Unknown Transforming Robot" at 26:50, isn't it?
Yay, THEW! Great recap.
Can someone beer me the information on where the slag I can procure that Rhinox shirt? I’d wear the hell out of that.
That energon Demolishor is delish.
Have you met Randall Ng and DR. SMOOV?
Oh god bakugan I haven't seen those things in a while
That chunky motorbike boi is a very modified knock off of Gunmax from Brave Police J-Decker.
I watched all of the Masterforce dub. It's.... unique.
Great haul.looks like you have be bitten by the gundam bug.I bought 2 gundams and 3 kotobukiya hmm zoids from gundammad myself.
Ok, that is clearly the Con Plague stewing up in ya; get some zinc, citruses, and some of mum's chicken noodle soup.
I actually lowkey collect Bakugan beside my transformers. Short version is their card has a sheet of metal in it, and the magnet is actually in the guy himself, and it pulls the latch holding them as a ball. Also I really hope someday I can jump the pond and got to TFNation someday.
I love how giddy Transformers Adventure Adams is! XD
oh bruh seriously lost it at bakugan. I collected the crap out of those in college. Yeah there was a alleged game you played with them but I mostly got em because they were transformers esque. if you are interested PM me and i could help you with a bunch of info on the episode for free. Love bakugan. As time went on they became really complex and it amazed me what you could get out of a single marble. the first one you had in your hand was juggernoid bakugan.wikia.com/wiki/Juggernoid couldn't quite catch the others :D
The dude with the Screen on his face was likely the older brother Minimus Ambus, Dominus Ambus, but from the Functionist universe where they did evil surgery on him to make him more subservient.
You are man Thew! I’m hitting NYCC next month..I love conventions! I will be reviewing it as well.
If it's a Knock-off that actually works; it's a KNOCK-OUT!
