#transformers - Zábava
just to clarify gang, the Scourge megavid is currently on early access for Patrons and Members! It'll be live on the main channel in a few days' time 😁
i started to get worried that i missed it, and that it got delisted for a second, thankfully it will be out soon, and im sure it will be a lovely time.
Oh I was confuse d
Y'all heard the man. He called me gorgeous.
Nuh huh, he said I was gorgeous xD
No, BOTH of you are wrong;
He specifically called ME gorgeous... because my name IS Gorgeous!
I did not lie
Game recognizes game.@@toygrind
Uhmm he wes referring to me, guys. You're delusional.
There was another letter in the envelope that explained things, it might have got stuck to the bubble wrap or something. Glad you like the shirt though
Ah, dang it!
If only there was a TFcon and Bloodstock crossover.
There is, it's called my life
9:16 Deluxe G1 Toy OP is a new toy, from the ground up, but designed to mimic the G1. It doesn't have the limits of being the G1 + Articulation. They're different enough that Collectors could buy both, and kids can afford one easily.
Its also cool because i want missing link, but i dont have 80-100 bucks to spend on something I can buy for 25. Theyre different toys but the same idea
I'm nowhere near old enough to have been around the 80's but I can imagine how awesome it must be for now-parents 80's kids finally being able to share a piece of their childhood without paying an arm and a leg.
I've got ML Prime and am definitely getting Deluxe G1 Prime.
@_V.Va_ that's how all of us unicron trilogy adults feel now that we are finally getting figures instead of getting inundated with g1 after g1.
@@purplewolfranger22 we've had Beast Wars for a while, and Legacy started spreading out.
@@samurexatlas7373 even the beast wars line was absolutely full of g1 instead of focusing on beast wars. And as for the spreading out hasbro has started actually doing faithful updates instead of the extremely insulting g1ification they had/have been doing.
Thew reacts in horror as G1 Optimus Prime can move his head
You don't know how satisfying it is to hear you go from talking about bloodstock in your old vids to hearing that you're actually playing there!
Missing link prime is such a cool idea and done beautifully
Since Bee and Cliffy are coming soon, imagine getting the WHOLE 84 crew like this.
(I wonder how they would do Megs, cause of the You-Know-What)
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster adding articulation to G1 Megatron would be more impressive than any issues with the alt mode. He's just this kind of weird stick insect flop monster
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster megs' crotch and legs can be fixed with takara engineering magic don't worry, they'll find some way
the one I wish is sunstreaker, probably one of the most iconic diaclone designs I would love to see a pose-able version
Quick word on Missing Link Prime, he DOES have a thigh swivel, they're just a little (scary) tight at first, because they chromed the mushroom pegs for... whatever reason.
Because vacuum metallization is harder to do masks for than normal paint. It's possible but it's annoying.
15:18 I don’t know if you heard but hightail creations is making an ultra Magnus trailer that’s compatible with the upcoming legacy deluxe Optimus Prime and can also turn into a posable figure of ultra Magnus without a figure inside
A new Damnit, open? My body is ready.
@toygrind
Regarding the thighs of Missing Link Convoy:
This is VERY important.
Loosen the screws on the inner thighs.
DO NOT TRY TO "POP" THE JOINT BECAUSE IT WILL SNAP.
The factory workers did them up way too tight.
I was utterly terrified of exactly that happening and I loosened the screws like a half turn on both my copies, that took care of it.
Eek! Thanks for the heads up!
@@toygrind No worries!
@@ShinGallon They probably would've just popped if the thighs were diecast. But as they're plastic, and the set cost me nearly £200, I wasn't willing to try and pop them.
Loosening the screws worked a treat.
@@MaxCarnage1984 I meant the parts the thighs are connected to, in the crotch. Because the "shifting thighs in/out" step of transforming him scares me every time as well.
My absolute favorite thing about this is Thew experiencing Missing Link Optimus with equal parts glee and terror.
Oh geez, even seeing a KO of that Toyworld Wideload gives me PTSD, that thing is impossible to transform.
I'm SO happy whenever you do a Dammit, Open! videos. It's such a comfy thing to watch and play in the background as I do things or chill at night. Thanks for this fun video, Thew! Super happy you got lots of bangers in these packages and hope it keeps rolling.
3:30 that's what I asked for when I went in for bottom surgery
Actually howling at this lmao
@@robotlorekeeper9880 I was howling when I got it done
6:19 I live for the obscure Payload cameo😂
I’m always amazed how quick Thew is to blind transform 3rd party toys after how many times it hasn’t worked out. Especially for a Toyworld figure 😂
"Otter HATES the taste of Watermelon...can't stop eating it!"
2:19 That Scourge mega review hasn't been posted to CZcams yet.
Omg thank you I was so confused thinking I'd some how missed it
@@darkousdragon1166 After watching he DOES mention the Scourge review would be up in a couple days.
Just on time!
I was in the mood for some Thew McCadams
I know we're all here for the bots but it's the metal that made me and many others stay in the first place. Watching the entire saga of forming Rogue Limb to playing goddamn Bloodstock has been such a delight to see. Major congrats to you and Greg, you sure as hell deserve it, and If I ever venture across the pond I hope I can plan it around catching a gig some day :)
After seeing (parts) of the US presidential debate. . . I needed a good ol "Open Dammit!". Thank you Thew!
You getting to play on stage at Bloodstock with some of those bands is so hype. Congratulations, you deserve it!
THEW IM SO HAPPY FOR WINNING THAT BLOOD STOCK THINGY!!! CONGRATS YOU ABSOLUTE MAD LADS 🎉🎉
At this point, Jake and Anna are like your District 1 sponsors. They got the lines on that good shiz.
The fact that thew and architects will have been on the same stage in one day is wild
I love Gavin’s stuff and was delighted you were on his very short list of worthy guests.
Man is "PUNT" a really deep cut reference at this juncture
If I wasn't stranded in the US you bet I'd be at Bloodstock to watch, CONGRATS from one transformers drummer nerd to another!!
Not to be all Gewunner or anything, but they've never topped the general aesthetic of the G1 toy boxes. It's one of those things they absolutely nailed the first time and have just never been able to top. They look so prestige compared to the newer series boxes.
I adore Missing Link Optimus but I'm always terrified I'm gonna snap the legs off at the hip because the plastic holding them to the upper torso seems to fragine, I wish they'd done those bits in diecast or made them thicker. But I had the exact same experience, that "this is G1 Optimus, he shouldn't be able to pose like that" feeling. But he's brilliant and I'm happy they're doing Bee and Cliffjumper.
You're playing on the same stage as Amon Amarth, omfg that's freaking awesome!
Not even into metal, but I still gave Sirenhead a listen. Bloody good actually, and you're a killer drummer!
8:36 LMAOO TRUUUEE
Love me some Fear Factory :3
13:18 Also THANK GOD Prime can now do a Flash Kick, just as God intended
meanwhile we already have a "Missing Link" G1 Jetfire/Skyfire decades ago but it is made by Bandai, lol.
This is going to be an odd question;
Is there ANYONE who gives an inch of a care about Robotech in this modern day?
(Pretty sure even Macross is MORE well known)
you are what I needed to close out this week
Always a good background vibe Thew, always appreciated.
Excuse me Thew but ive never let the hype die on TM2 Scourge ive literally been keeping the TM2 Scourge fandom alive by myself. Your upcoming video talking about him now gives me hope more people will see how unbelievably gas that toy is.
Will definitely watch a full review of Missing Link Optimus Prime, such a great toy. Worth all the hype, it's amazing.
Oh my God! Huge congrats on the show!
Loved the faces whilst transforming convoy with all the articulation throwing you off😂
Also the Scourge video isn't up on CZcams yet so hopefully soon, eager for a big Thew vid☺
Even if they replace the Queens face with Chuck it'll still look like the Queen. Not much point making that a change. 🤣💀 Also so proud of you and RL. Keep it Metal. 🤘
The Optimus prime song cracked me up
You freaking out on an updated Optimus that does things that it shouldn't is absolute PRIME youtube. I could watch you nerd out all day. Much love from SoCal where we're broiling too. 🥵
oh hell yeah dude, congrats on hitting it to the stage to you both!! rock on
Missing link Optimus Prime is the toy that we're glad finally came. Finally happened.
This was awesome! Probably one of my favorite videos I've seen in a long time!! Congrats and great job!!
Word of warning with Missing Link Prime: Be really be careful with the sliding joints for the legs. I can see those snapping off one day. They're fine when sliding them out to widen the hips, but there is definitely not enough support for them when you're trying to manipulate their legs.
The leg joints are so tight, especially the thigh swivel, that when you try to turn them, it puts a lot of stress on the respective slider. I recommend putting a plastic or hard rubber spacer between the two sliders when Prime is in bot mode so that when you are manipulating the legs, there is some support.
Also, be very careful trying to turn his thighs on the swivel. It is so incredibly tight, that I imagine you could strain the slider very badly. Or eventually snap a leg off.
It's a shame, because the toy is perfect otherwise.
If anyone hasn't yet told, in topic of Takara's Missing Link toys; few months back we get to see Missing Link Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. Missing Link Cliffjumper even comes with bazooka.
The logo the domez skywarp is attached to is a reference to the original Robert Downey Jr Iron Man movie, Pepper made a similar monument of Tony's original arc reactor out of it.
Recently I bought legacy united Tigerhawk, Beast Wars will always have special place in my heart 😊
The Matrix compartment is removable. Some people have adjusted the screws in the thighs to keep them from being worryingly tight. There's a slight trick to getting him back into truck mode without a gap in the bed that involves actually following the instructions closely.
I wouldn't typically know this but I believe this has some minor carry over subtle features from the Diaclone and whereas most later releases feature retooling that was done for Powered Convoy and Ultra Magnus to get him to adhere to the armor better.
Ironically, the bootlegs on AliExpress and Temu also appear to be made from the Diaclone version. Leave it to a bootleg in this era to be MORE vintage accurate than what we got in the gold 1990 packaging or G2. But it apparently makes the new guy stand out that the sculpt and paint owe more to the original 84 production run than what most of us actually owned and apparently the painted eye details and such may even skew 1970s Diaclone.
There are a number of lovely shots of him with Diaclone men and Takara synergistically did a three pack of Diaclone reboot fellas in largely the same primary colors as Diaclone Convoys. Those sold out most places quickly after this went up. It was like 40 quid for the three little dudes and some kind of forklift/crane thing that's about the size of a Titan Master vehicle. But, yes, you CAN have super-articulated Diaclone drivers for this and the original seats are under the removable Matrix compartment and all over Roller and the trailer.
Love the Koffin tattoo. I have the same one in the same spot. I love the bright colors of yours. Mine is more muted,i wanted colors like yours. Artist didn't have anything that loud. Just need 5 more to have a full playing set. Thought about getting a snake arm wrap,but with Ekans.
Awesome! I can't wait to finish this vid and watch you beat them skins (and scream)!
I really enjoyed you and Gav chatting!
Thew! I found something that could be a solution to your gloomy shelves. Homebase have these bar LED things that you can stick or screw into the top of a shelf, they're battery powered and you can adjust the angle the light comes out so you can set how far back in the shelf they're illuminating. Would grt a bit expensive to get all your shelves lit up, but it's less than 20 quid for a pair of these, could be worth trialling on just one or two.
let's go thew!
Heck! Playing Bloodstock is an achievement. Well done!
Dude I could not be be happier for you about Bloodstock
Uh... where was this Scourge video posted? I can't see it
Patreon only so far. Probably being publicly posted this weekend
It's not public yet, currently just Patrons/members
@@Primucron
Oooooh I see. He may have posted this video a bit earlier than intended if that's the case.
Patreon early access.
The legacy version of that classic (I’m gonna call it the comic version as come on) I’m looking forward too.
I watch Thew and remember who I am and that there are more like me. Been watching since 2012 now. Beenaminute. Thew Rocks!!
Ah, that Optimus...I'm getting the Legacy one too, of course.. for the same reason I got the Junior one back in the day: because I have a missile in my brain.
Hey Thew, if you want to fix that hole in the logo 3-D print, Bondo works wonders for the material.
Epic video! i love watching your happiness to a figure!
9:06 - And his other more bigger gun!
Love you Thew! Keep it up!!
PS I actually got your "yeah yeah wankers wankers" throwback reference to years ago. Nice one!!
I do have the gold bug and it's a lovely thing.
Congrats on winning and getting on the stage again, gonna watch the music video after this video. That Optimus Prime is one I would love to get as I have the the 25th Anniversary G1 Optimus Prime
whenever the question arises as to who should get a missing link i want a sound wave or jazz! g1 jazz is so cool looking
Just watched the Sirenhead video, you must be massive because that looks like a “my first drum kit” for kids …..
Honestly I think I'm gonna get the legacy prime, it appears to have a ball joint on the head
Could do a missing link combo with the bumblebee one they made too
Given that hasbro is mass releasing another articulated g1 toy prime at retail in legacy I think a comparison of high end vs mass retail of the same toy concept would be very interesting. It’s not just the same character. It’s 2 separate toys trying to recreate the SAME old toy. With knees and elbows and all that.
If they did a missing link Sunstreaker, I would lose my absolute mind.
Other side rocket pods. 🤣
Hell yes! My day is complete thanks to a new video from Thew!
aw hell yeah happy dammit open everybody
I love Missing Link but I can’t BELIEVE that they took away Roller’s launcher function! I was so distraught when I realized that 😭
Yeah that sucked. But they had to do it in order to make the repair drone removable.
Wheeljack missing link would be sick
Only 110F heat index here in Texas...
Love the new music video Thew!
I saw the title and I panicked because I thought you were moving house again
I'd love a Missing Link Soundwave, please and thanks
You also had the original Aurora/Searchlight, of which I bought from you!
Congratulation on the music bands success Thew. Cudos mate
does whatever a spider-can
You WON! Woooooo! Congrats!
Congrats on winning the contest!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats on the win!
2 waves late since 2008! Review missing link, totally on brand!🎉😊
when the Legacy one comes out, maybe do a 3-in-1 G1 OP Retrospective?
Keep at it thew!!!!
I love lego optimus prim.
I think alot of transformers guys would be into HEAVY METAL....
Aw sweet another video
Congrats on winning the competition!
When you plugged your Scourge video I went to look for it but I couldn't find it, where is it?
It's still on early access for channel members and patrons! Links in description 👍
10:03 screwed, in all other aspects.
Well that’s just prime
Sorry that’s scary, I just bought the throttle bot combiner EDIT, I too gave up on wideload, double edit I don’t think that’s the set I have, the wei jiang set I have feels great and searchlight is still white
If anyone can help me find a head for human alliance rotf skids itd be pretty awesome. Awesome vid thew congrats on your band!
