To this day I'm still disappointed that we got that that Playstation Optimus prime and not SUPER FAMICOMVOY. I mean, come on! (alternatively Optisnes Prime. :D)
"Matrix of Speedership" Don't worry, I laughed. Also my theory for why the algorithm is pointing viewers to the Mario and Luigi set is because we're apparently coming up on the 35th anniversary of the first Super Mario Bros. game.
Fun fact: they didn't choose Mega Drive over Genesis... they made both versions, so you can pick whether you want your Segatron to be international or 'Murican.
Sky link definitely, go as daft as possible....... Oooh! Ninpactor Switch! Granted the alt mode would look like panel line garbage perhaps but hey it wouldn't be any worse than that crappy Xiaomi Tablet Soundwave.

The funny thing is that I've never actually seen the mega drive megatron until now. And I'm so glad that this is my introduction. Even though I'm a bit young to have grown up with the mega drive. I still want this because I adore classic consoles.
"Of course something would be the thing that it is" seems inherently contradictory to the Transformers brand, which is literally built on the notion of a thing not being what it is.
@@yajeel A controller is also commonly known as a "gamepad" or a "joypad". As opposed to "joysticks" (man, now I feel old). So having (game)pads on your shoulders means you have "shoulder pads".
If anything they should have done more Decepticons as Sega consoles like... Soundwave as a Game Gear... Shockwave as a Master System... Starscream as a Saturn, and Galvatron as the Dreamcast.
0:39 I do believe it was because of Nintendo announcing a bunch of Mario-related games and products as celebration of Super Mario Bros.' 35th anniversary this month! (That's how I found it anyway)
There is a separate, online exclusive Genesis Megatron release. The red highlights are purple, he comes with a Genesis-style Sonic cart. There is also a gold chrome Lucky Draw that comes with a Bare Knuckle (Streets of Rage) Mega Drive-style cart. Also the controller port plug is the smallest Transformer accessory/part, I believe. I know I lost mine for a few months and turns out it was just sitting on my keyboard, resting between some keys
wow I cannot believe brookes eggleston, famed content creator and helpful art video creator replied to my comment and is also aware of my channel and my video “Funniest robot EVER”!!! Awesome!!!
Thank you@@CharacterDesignForge , that means a lot coming from the creator of that video about tangents and that other one about cute characters and all the other ones about character design! 😊😊😊
I’m gonna be entirely honest, I’m not much of a toy reviews person. But your videos are filled with so much personality, actual humor, and just a smidge of self-awareness. You’re seriously really funny, and I always look forward to seeing new videos.
I love that youre the one channel who takes flaws on a figure and has fun with it. Giving each figure a personality with the way you talk about them. Keep up the good work!
3:28 for the edited out Cyberverse spoiler segment. I'm still gonna rewatch the whole review though cos it's a Thew video. EVENEVILEREVENEVILEREVENEVILEREVENEVILEREVENEVILEREVENEVILEREVENEVILER
Your upbeat comical reviews always leaves me feeling a bit better than I was before. In these troubling times, this is something of a rare commodity. Thank you for helping in a small way that can sometimes have a big impact.
Imagine if they made a sort of add on power armor that turned into a Sega CD; or if they made a Soundwave that could turn into a SEGA Dreamcast, call it Dream Wave... I hate myself for that one.
Since I started watching you (Thanks to Jobby the Hong), I started collecting Transformers Figures and I got Starscream from the Earthrise series... It's really good and I think I'm addicted to Transformers!
@I am Petitgguy I like both, but I like Jobby's stuff more mainly for his love of Transformers and just his attitude during the videos He was the one that got me into Evangelion whilst Thew got me into Transformers Both I'd say are great, I do like Jobby more and I'm even considering getting some of the Beast Wars Masterpiece figures later on down the road
Thanks Thew, I needed a Thew-fueled laugh today, and you provided that. Always appreciate your hard work for providing us with entertaining and informative content.
Ahh, I remember plugging in A/V cables to my Wii. Red to red, white to white, yellow to yellow, then squeezing my neck behind a TV to plug it in, while simultaneously figuring out which slot on the tv goes to what input. Those were dark times. Dark, dark times.
I kinda wish they’d release some more of these Consoleformers with the other two big console manufacturers. Like an XBox based mixed with Starscream or an SNES or N64 mixed with Bumblebee (which would be pretty fitting since he’s the kid appeal character and that’s all Nintendo’s jazz) Also, Segatron should’ve been Soundwave so the cartridges could’ve been new versions of the cassette bots
That moment when you’ve been watching some Thew videos where he has no hair for the past week then he uploads a new video and you completely forget he has hair now
“It is what it is. That’s such a stupid phrase like of course something is what it is supposed to be” That summarises my entire emotional state this fine year.
True story. Back when I was in highschool, there was a console rental place that let's you rent, Super Famicom, SNES and Sega Megadrive consoles and their selection of games and the place just so happen to be called Segatron. The place is now closed (years ago) and the place became a store.
so doubt you'll see this but thank you, you breathed a whole new life into collecting and transformers for me with your ability to appreciate even the biggest loads of trash, I now look at figures I never wanted with a new perspective.
My guess as to why the mario and luigi video got so many views is because someone who watches or watched transformers toy reviews and recently some Super Mario Bros videos because of its 35th anniversary would get that video recommended, because it is a combination of them both.
How about Soundwave as an NES? Laserbeak can be Duck Hunt, Ravage can be Gyromite, Rumble can be Super Mario Bros, Ratbat can be Castlevania, Frenzy can be Mario 2, Beastbox can be Donkey Kong, you get it.
1:50 The 90's everbody. Also, maybe? Edit: Ok, Thew, all of Cyberverse has been uploaded to RUclips. Now you can put the spoiler parts without much problem. 2nd edit: 3:31 Holy sh!t, this was unexpected. Also, totally worth it.
I wish somebody(s) wold make a transformers series that's a revamp of G1 and utilizes off-hand figures like this for that good-ole Saturday morning cartoon silliness. "Next time, Megatron takes on a new mode to take over the mind of Sam! Will the Autobots stop him in time? Can Optimus learn how to mass shift?"
Hey thew don’t know if you will see this but I’ve started watching you a month ago and you’ve always managed to make me happy. Don’t ever stop being great
I know he's not soundwave but it would have been cool if the cartridge transformed into lazer beak considering he did report straight to megatron on occasion.
Sooooo.... We have Megatron, disguised as a Sega Mega Drive console, more solid than PS1 Optimus Prime, and his accesory is a cartridge of the classic "Sonic the Hedgehog"... All I can say is: Shut up and take my money! Because I need this figure
I have a theory about the cartridges. maybe in universe he uses the cartridges to draw abilities from it's contents like for Sonic 1 his speed increases and he can mimic sonic's abilities while for say... Streets of Rage he can use his fusion canon to mimic Axel's "Grand Upper!"
There actually is a SEGA Genesis variant of Mega Drive Megatron. I think that's really cool that people have the option to get the one they grew up with in their respective regions.
Others that might work Yellow edition Gameboy Bumblebee TV-Pong-Console Grimlock -(Transforms to T-Rex mode, skip humanoid robot mode altogether because why does Grimlock need a humanoid form.

I still can't believe they missed out on the opportunity to do a Super FamiConvoy, but I'd have to imagine they went to Nintendo for licensing and got turned down.
Theory: Thew wrote cyberverse during a fever dream and completely forgot about it
I want a console Soundwave with the cartridges on his chest that transforms into laserbeak, Ravage etc....
Nah how about him being a sony walkman
@@jbcoolerninja they did a tablet Soundwave, what about Laserbeak, ravage frenzy and rumble that change into joycons and plug on Soundwave? 😂
A SEGA Saturn sound wave with a cartridge that transforms into a mini Segata Sanjiro
Oh my God a Nintendo Soundwave laserbeak could probably be a cartridge
XD
To this day I'm still disappointed that we got that that Playstation Optimus prime and not

@@yajeel Oh I guess the face of a controller is called a pad, sure, yeah.
@@yajeel A controller is also commonly known as a "gamepad" or a "joypad". As opposed to "joysticks" (man, now I feel old).

Damn bro, old consoles comercials were weird af. And I laughed with "Matrix of Speedership"
I agree that Optimus should have been a nintendo console, maybe Ultra Magnus could have been the Playstation or maybe Hotrod
Might be alone on this one, but not making it Sega Soundwave (with a transformable cartridge for the chest slot) really seems a missed opportunity
finally, a transformers toy for the most oppressed minority; the GAMERS
Wheeeey!! Megatron and my favourite gaming console! Keep up doing your own thing man, makes your channel more unique!
I didn’t grow up with the mega drive, but I LOVE this thing!!!
Still think it should've been Soundblaster with the cart turning into a minion, but maybe that's just me.

The Blast Processing joke was such a swish, nothing but net-level reference that I’m kind of in awe
