    Watching Thew getting more and more baffled with every edited picture he's given by Brandon is easily the most entertaining part of the show.

    So I have a new roomy who's never played with Transformers before. Last week I gave him my g1 Optimus and said "give this a go". It was so surreal watching his eyes light up when he was figuring it all out and his amazement when he got it done. That g1 optimus toy truly is one of the greatest toys of all time!

    …I’m not going to lie, Thew saying @ 27:58 that he appreciates me… it felt so out of left field and genuine that I actually smiled. I can’t think of another RUclipsr, big or small, that’s made me GENUINELY smile and feel appreciated in YEARS. I know it’s the whole “parasocial relationship” thing and obviously I’ll never know thew in real life, but damn if it wasn’t exactly what my soul needed at that exact moment in time. Thank you Thew ❤️

      those cassettes are for a VERY old 3rd party Soundwave called Sonicron, it was to remedy the fact that there's never been a CHUG Soundwave toy (until 2016), and it's based on Guido Guidi's Soundwave design, it was one of the earliest 3rd party toys in the market

  • @ShogunStudios

    It's amazing how well MP Soundwave has held up. I mean, yeah, Acoustic Wave looks more G1 accurate and the Netflix fits in with my CHUG collection, but I do find myself missing the original MP Soundwave. Solid figure, fun transformation, and undeniably a gorgeous figure.

    I've got a Transformers moment to share:
    So I'm at Target, and I find a Transformers The Movie (1986, the good one obviously) Coronation Starscream. I considered making it part of my shelf candy until I remembered that my niece was a Starscream fangirl for some reason. I held on to the thing boxed for about six months before I could properly wrap it up and present it for the Holidays. She was very thrilled.
