From what I've heard, MP Skids was made specifically to celebrate some anniversary for Skids' alt mode, the Honda City Turbo. So it's less-so a Masterpiece celebrating Skids as it is a Masterpiece celebrating a car that happens to turn into Skids. That's why the Alt mode is so detailed and toy-accurate, as opposed to the modern masterpiece cartoon-accurate style. It's meant to celebrate the real-world car, not the cartoon robot. So, as amazing as the coincidence is, I think it's safe to say that the Skids Retrospective didn't impact the release of the Masterpiece.
@@zeroblade6599 Honda Jazz was actually gonna be called Honda Fitta, but theres a problem with that. You see, some words have different meaning depending on where in the world you are, and in some cases, like in this one, the word Fitta in Scandinavian languages means female reproduction part, and then theres spare parts for the car for all the world to buy. So of course the teens would buy a logo of that calling it a Pu**y mobile. Theres your requested fun part.
For an expensive toy, emulating an expensive vehicle is the way to go, rather than emulating the animation model of a cheap weekly cartoon. And, yes okay, it might be a cheap car, but it's still a car. :)
I’m sure people have already said this, but I think watching Jobby’s review on that Bold Forms Gladius is probably the best way to get an idea of how that piece of crap functions.
@@acemarvel1564 I think that is what they were getting at, yeah. Why are so many G1 characters such oddly specific and noticable cars? Why are Mirage and Wheeljack based one unique individual race cars?
Feels like Thew should review both Legacy and Masterpiece skids in a single video. Or maybe he just doesn't out of fear it will unleash the Skidpocalypse
Oooh, I do wanna see you review that third party Megatron. Usually I'm not about the negativity parade but that thing sure looks like it'd be interesting to explore. Like, it's got the tank and gun mode and there was clearly some neat idea that just doesn't look like it worked out at all.
As soon as I saw Bold Forms Gladius, I started seeing the video Jobby did like it was an old war flashback. Break out the marinara sauce, cuz you’re in for some spaghetti engineering.
Imagine being bored and opening yt and you see that Thew uploaded 8seconds ago. Time to watch someone get gifts that would've made 10y old me pass out from excitement.
That MP-01 takes me back. Still have mine with the exact same short stacks and battle damage. I love it and it was nice to have a tiny Megatron in gun mode with it, but I hated how the included stock for Megatron crumbled at the connection point.
I didn’t notice the suspenders, I’m getting Oxhorn vibes now lol. I’d say it suits you pretty well. Also yessss the only Megatron that was inspired and designed under the influence of Guinness
Love the idea of the motorbike mega review because you're right, its an interestingly varied set of transformations. And, as a guy who spent a lot of his childhood hunting down ragged copies of Transformers UK at carboot sales, "toy colours" Galvatron is "proper colours" Galvatron and I like that its become a more common repaint in recent years.
mp 1 is my favourite g1 Optimus figure, it's a very impressive update of the g1 toy feelings with gorgeous paint, metal, pistons etc, that still manage to transform
Almost forgot about Kingdom Road Rage. Gonna have to get my hands on one. I also recognized that Megatron box instantly. I actually let out an audible, "NO!", fearing your sanity. Have "fun" with that thing.
1:15 shattered glass thew: "i hate light piping, skids deserves nothing, i will ONLY review BUMBLEBEES from now on." all while serene calming music plays braces and band merch sounds like a cool band name
That Optimus is the US release of MP01 called Thrilling 30s Masterpiece Optimus. The upgrade set for it is just longer smokestacks they had to cut in case somone decided to chuck it towards one of their eyes. Its a great figure honestly, it has something the other Optimuses is missing, and that is a transformation true to the cartoon without being a chore.
Lol, so happy to hear the Catatonia reference, I made the same joke with my friends and then remember that I live in the USA now and once more just sounded like a weirdo! MP Skids is a beauty! I even managed to get my meaty claws on a prototype.
Thanks for tossing this out today, really needed something to cheer me up! Giveaways this time are super exciting, looking forward to your take on Skids!
Good god I love that Meshuggah album. When Stengah kicks in its a beast. I used DKFH for years. Thomas Haake is such an incredible drummer. Learning to play Bleed opened so many doors for me. How he came up with a 7 minute song full of that stuff that is beyond me.
That's Hasbro's 25th Anniversary Prime. They had to cut the smokestacks off the MP Prime, as they were hard plastic, to meet US toy safety at the time. I think it was sold for around $50 USD back then.
Off on a tangent, but I'd completely forgotten how much I used to love Road Rage (the song). And my headcanon now is that Road Rage (the robot) fronts an Autobot alternative rock band.
Rewatched the Christmassacre today, so happy to see your daft robot show again! Shattered Glass Thew would presumably be alternate universe you from the Slapdash review?
Seeing that box reminds me of when I was a kid and was almost able to get an og thundercraker at the Walmart near my house. Ended up not but man I wish I had it.
That's the Hasbro 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime. It's the same one I've got. Brought it in 2006/2007, I think. I got some long-smokestack add-ons and had to nail-varnish the ankle ball-joints to stop him slipping over. Good times.

honestly that's so skids, to be basically incidental to his own Masterpiece toy
Wasn't that also called the honda jazz? I feel like there's a joke in there

Honda's official Twitter posted the MP Skids announcement earlier than Takara did
hmmm

Agreed
For sure.
Hm yes the Guinness bot.
Its rare to see a transformer turn into an economy class cruiser like a minivan and thats what makes skids unique
I really wish we had a transformer that turned into something like a Ford Focus or a VW Golf or something. Normal Cars are oddly lacking.
Sadly Skids isn't a minivan. He's a Honda City Turbo which are hatchback convertibles. Rather small vehicles but they were meant for Japans roads.
@@Andulvar looks kind of like one
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer I know but wouldn’t a normal car be more inconspicuous? Robots in disguise remember

Oh boi, be careful what you wish for...
Jobby, (another RUclipsr), has already reviewed it... It's a trip and a Half...
Glad you like Arcee, and hope you enjoy Mike Krol's music!
Making MP-01 talk about music is just a joy.
As soon as I saw Bold Forms Gladius, I started seeing the video Jobby did like it was an old war flashback. Break out the marinara sauce, cuz you’re in for some spaghetti engineering.
Ah, a new Thew! Talk about some motivational good vibes for personal projects! Thank you again, Thew!
"Tiddies ain't behavin'..."
The type of arrangement of words I live for.
Was feeling really depressed today, but this cheered me up. Good to see you, Thew.
Cheer up buddy! U got the touch!
@@davyvandervlies8103 thanks man :)

Margarine Man deserves fanart, I love resurrected junkers from garage sales.
Good vibes are sent, Thew always cheers me up when I'm down
Honestly 2010 Brimstone is probably one of, if not the best bike bot.
Sees bold forms gladiolus:
Jobby the Hong : *SCREAMS IN AGONY*
9:07 That’s Otto, the bus driver from the Simpsons, with the colors of the Transformers logo. And Otto-bot, if you will
I'm glad someone else mentioned it
That MP-01 takes me back. Still have mine with the exact same short stacks and battle damage. I love it and it was nice to have a tiny Megatron in gun mode with it, but I hated how the included stock for Megatron crumbled at the connection point.
🚨IMPOSTOR ALERT🚨
dang, that's a great Optimus Prime impression
The minute I saw the Bold Forms Gladius box pop out of the bubble wrap, I had World War 2 flashbacks to Jobby’s video…
I didn’t notice the suspenders, I’m getting Oxhorn vibes now lol.
I’d say it suits you pretty well.
Also yessss the only Megatron that was inspired and designed under the influence of Guinness

15:35 oh hell yeah Divebomb reference, my favourite Energon toy
Why do I get the feeling that one of these days there’ll be a Dammit Open where Thew gets sent a blue Honda City Turbo 😂
That Megatron smirking face has big "farted in an elevator" energy
Needed a break from dying to midir, perfect timing
17:37
Stickers applied: Toy accurate
Stickers unapplied: Comic accurate
OMG! I’d pay to listen to your Prime talking about music mp01 thingy. This is the best thing ever, literally!!! ❤️
Almost forgot about Kingdom Road Rage. Gonna have to get my hands on one.
I also recognized that Megatron box instantly. I actually let out an audible, "NO!", fearing your sanity. Have "fun" with that thing.
Skids getting more love because he's kinda an adorable dork.
1:15
shattered glass thew: "i hate light piping, skids deserves nothing, i will ONLY review BUMBLEBEES from now on." all while serene calming music plays

This episode of Dammit Open has my favorite title by far! Love me some offspring and love me some skids!
You know you're in a good place when someone makes a Histor's Eye reference.
That Optimus is the US release of MP01 called Thrilling 30s Masterpiece Optimus. The upgrade set for it is just longer smokestacks they had to cut in case somone decided to chuck it towards one of their eyes. Its a great figure honestly, it has something the other Optimuses is missing, and that is a transformation true to the cartoon without being a chore.
Everyone bangs on these days about 'articulation' and even now, decades after his debut, Skids is still the master of _alt-mode_ articulation.
21:45 Oh boy hes about to go to withness hell when he transforms it.
21:45 Thew: Bold forms...
Me: Ohhh nooooooo, here comes the pain train
I, for one, would be very excited to see a Thew video about the history of motorcycle transforming figures
When I saw Boldforms Gladius I leapt out of my seat like it was a jumpscare in a horror movie.
Bold Forms Gladius...that came outta nowhere. I can remember Jobby having a time with that.
You know it's a good day when Thew has boxes and casual banter to open up.
Lol, so happy to hear the Catatonia reference, I made the same joke with my friends and then remember that I live in the USA now and once more just sounded like a weirdo!

That optimus Impression was a-mazeing
I am not passing up a chance at Road Rage, fell in love with the character when Chris McFeely did his Basics video on her.
The most amazing transformation this video is the haircut.
The Starscream with the crown to a tilt is a reference to Biggie Smalls.
That prime / Peter c impersonating was pretty good. Loved it
Good god I love that Meshuggah album. When Stengah kicks in its a beast. I used DKFH for years. Thomas Haake is such an incredible drummer. Learning to play Bleed opened so many doors for me. How he came up with a 7 minute song full of that stuff that is beyond me.
Jobby's review of the Bold Forms Gladius is pretty comprehensive, albeit showing the less sane side of his character. It's worth a watch.
🚨IMPOSTOR ALERT🚨
For the motorcycle episode, Cybertron Lugnutz and HFTD Brimstone are supremely cool unique takes on bike-bots
Road Rocket was all right, but Generation 2 Road Pig was a freaking Harley Davidson that turned into a ninja! Plus Decepticons are cooler, right?
I love how u brought back ur old poster from the early 2010 era
The reflector knockoffs just arrived the other day, and I love them like my own special children! Thanks again Thew!
Thew wearing a shoulder holster containing an Megatron at random would be a fun gag I suppose.
“Kinda heavy, kinda stiff.” I expected a “Same.”
I too am very nostalgic for MP-1
That's Hasbro's 25th Anniversary Prime. They had to cut the smokestacks off the MP Prime, as they were hard plastic, to meet US toy safety at the time. I think it was sold for around $50 USD back then.
Bold Forms: Gladius??
If Jobbys reaction to this abomination is any indication, I really want a full-fleshed review on this guy by Thew.
21:44 " Bold Form Gladius"
*gets war flashbacks*
*jobby the hong losing his mind*
*the can of guinness*
8:00 I imagine that's how all the babes describe your, _ahem,_ transformation cog.
THEW! I am absolutely *living* for those suspenders. Hell yeah.
"Drum Kit from Hell is the right of all sentient beings!"

This has become quickly one of my favorite videos of your channel, i would stay tuned of you reviewed that cool looking galvatron.
🚨IMPOSTOR ALERT🚨
That was a pretty goot Cullen impression Thew,
A door has been opened.
Brace yourself for fan arts and bios of SG Thew.
You'll never see this, but old sub from the 2012 days here on about that "going grey" deal. You look great, king. Keep on keepin' on.
Ohhh man that Monthy Megatron on Gladius is gonna be _magical_
Energon Arcee gives me Robotech S3/MOSPEADA Cyclone vibes with the wheels on the back
9:55 Thew: Woke up sad, had a snack, felt alright, now I'm doing this.
Me: 🥺 Same, bud. Same.
RoTF Knock Out was a great motorcycle Transformer.
Fluffy-faced man is Otto Man from The Simpsons as a previously unknown transformers faction.
jesus, Thew saying bird in a schlocky russian accent caught me completely off guard 18:59 "БОРД"
That's the Hasbro version of Mp-01 Optimus. They came with the shorter smokestacks and battle damage.
good luck every one in the giveaways
and good to see more STUFF from you Thew.
Those stickers are super cool. I really want that Megatron FMA one as a shirt
Seeing that box reminds me of when I was a kid and was almost able to get an og thundercraker at the Walmart near my house. Ended up not but man I wish I had it.
21:45
*Vietnam flashbacks but with swivels*
that Lemmy Kilmeister wrek-gar design is ace
e: we are 2 years away from 20 years... of 20th anniversary MP-01 optimus. holy cow
That's the Hasbro 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime. It's the same one I've got. Brought it in 2006/2007, I think. I got some long-smokestack add-ons and had to nail-varnish the ankle ball-joints to stop him slipping over. Good times.
Margarine Man is now officially a character in the Thew Cinematic Universe.
Sus among us sus among us sus among us sus among us when the imposter is sussy ding ding ding ding ding di di ding
Have been into Dammit Open for a while now, so much excitement and enTHEWiasm put into them. I always feel happier after watching them.
6:10 ah yes, the fans keep sending thew for bumblebee brouhaha part 3
7:56 I'm from Wisconsin...you're not wrong!!! Awesome vid, man!
Grey hair looks majestic and venerable. Nothing wrong with grey hair.
I love the SYL and Meshuggah references
I'm sorry, the Optimus impression caught me off guard, wasn't looking at the screen and was pleasantly surprised!
Thew says Bold Form Gladius and I immediately got flashbacks to Jobby's review of that thing. Thew is in for a nightmare with that.
You do a good prime.
How is anyone hating on our man's look, he just keeps lookin fresher and fresher.
The gray especially has an air of class and W I S D O M.
Always fun when thew appears in the notifications with a new video
As far as the grey on you, I think you wear it well. It looks nice!
Cybertron Lugnut is a real interesting bike bot.
Herohawk autobot or eagle Decepticon. Fantastic
The thought of a Gladius review from Thew is Tantilizingly Tasty
Heard Bold Forms Gladius and immediately remembered Jobby’s video
Thew does a great Prime voice.😎
That sticker was Otto the bus driver from The Simpsons.
