![]() As of Knockoff Beatdown: Christmassacre, the Galaxy Shifter line of bootleg Transformers.Thew seems to have softened on the little yellow guy in recent years, though. Unlike Captain Planet however, Thew genuinely wasn't fond of Bumblebee as a character, explicitly refusing to review any of his toys after his "Bumblebee Brouhaha". Bumblebee also took his share of abuse earlier in the series, occasionally being smacked around by another toy's melee weapons.Several fans actually donated extra Captain Planet figures when Thew's original one broke during a move. Whenever a missile is fired, there is roughly a 100% chance that its target is the Captain Planet action figure. He suffers a similar reaction to a vintage Masterforce Overlord being removed from its polystyrene packaging in the Toy-Fu Treasure Trove video, and even has to duck out for a moment when one of three Victory Star Sabers comes out of its own. Brown Note: Thew reacts rather poorly to loud creaking noises.The whole thing makes Thew borderline depressed. Born Unlucky: His interpretation of Skids's role in life: Skids was stuck somewhere between 19, which led to him being persistently Out of Focus in the fiction of the era, didn't get a new toy until Alternators (which looked suspiciously like a recolored Ironhide), his name was passed around to various unrelated characters, the most prominent of which was the massively unpopular movieverse Skids, and when he finally got a new Generations toy and started appearing in comics again, the Generations toy was seriously flawed and heavily redesigned, while the fiction had him perish in a Senseless Sacrifice and be literally forgotten by everyone.He also switched both to a smaller shot glass and a lower proof whiskey, since Threevenge was a bit too rough on him. Done again in 10 Shots, 10 Botbots, where the simpler transformations made it a bit easier.Taken up to thirteen in Threevenge, complete with a touch of Alcohol Hic.The deeper in the bottle he gets, the more smashed and less coherent he becomes. Played with in 10 Shots, 10 Bots (and its sequel, The Re-Wreckoning ), where Thew takes on a community challenge of ten improvised toy reviews, with each one preceded by a shot of liquor.When reviewing the original G1 Megatron toy, he admits that the story of the franchise's beginnings are so commonly retold that he simply shouts related buzzwords after two sentences.As You Know: The history of the early Generation One toyline and Gold Plastic Syndrome get lampshaded as things Thew tends to assume his audience already knows, before he provides a rundown of the basic concepts.Decepticons in dark colours, especially black and purple, count in general.A running gag in his TFNation 2017 Q&A is that, whenever asked what he thinks he'd be as a Transformer, the phrase "best mates with Skywarp" keeps popping up.A prominent display of his is a shelving unit dedicated exclusively to various incarnations of Skywarp, nicknamed the Skywarp Shrine.Always Someone Better: Thew is no slouch when it comes to obscure Transformers knowledge, but he readily acknowledges that it pales in comparison to the knowledge of Nicholas of Toy-Fu.His review of Generations Skywarp provides an especially excellent example. Added Alliterative Appeal: Thew does this from time to time.Thew's Awesome Transformers Reviews contains examples of: ![]()
