Dammit, Open: Warpin' and Swoopin'!

[@puzzlefischer1205]

20:20 the girl Skywarp is Iron Factory IF-EX-27G Wing Guard, it usually came in a set of 3 with girl Starscream and girl Thundercracker, Iron Factory is also planning on releasing another version of Seeker girls with actual humanoid proportions and anime girl heads

[@sadierobotics]

I'm a huge fan of these. In addition to feminine versions of the OG three Seakers, they also did a Slipstream from the same molds. The "human girl in armor" figures have started coming out too. I got the human-girl-Starscream already, and human-girl-Thundercracker should be out within a year. They're also animal themed, with human-girl Starscream having mechanical bunny ears and human-girl Thundercracker having mechanical cat ears. At least I think they're cat ears. They're a bit abstract. I didn't even realize Starscream's headgear was bunny ears until I saw the other girls had animal ears.

[@graywolf1339]

Your my Hero, i saw that and wanted one so bad. Hopefully they dont cost a arm and a leg

[@aarongriffiths7878]

@@sadierobotics I have the Slipstream as part of my core collection and it's one of my favorite figures that I own.

[@cowboybarbaryn1302]

Need them to rerelease their regular seekers. My Thundercracker broke recently and I would like to re acquire him for a reasonable price

[@puzzlefischer1205]

19:03 the tiny Powerglide is a Dr.Wu DW-E13 Sky Glider, it came in a 2-pack with tiny Thundercracker

The fact that Thew enjoyed Cosmic brownies fills me with delight. They were a semi prominent snack in my childhood

he didn't enjoy them that much 😂 microwaved Honey Buns forever!!

Still a prominent snack even at 42 lol

[@sukmykrok3388]

Ah. Not the kind of brownies I was thinking of, haha!

[@eramferguson1701]

The Council of Skywarps.

[@wakeangel2001]

Your female skywarp looks like a repaint of "Shrike's Feather" which is a 3rd party scout sized Slipstream. That is another argument for us needing a proper female seeker mold instead of a windblade repaint

[@kram67kram]

Iron factory slipstream mold was recolored in a three pack of starscream thundercracker and skywarp

[@mitchmegaw7201]

“We have created a clone of you, Swoop. He is exactly like you, except one eighth your size.” “Cool. Me Swoop will call him … Mini Me Swoop.”

[@antarcticpress8134]

As you may have already discovered, Cybershark has a pair of missiles stored in his back, flanking his spine. (You can just see the ends of them behind his head around 5:39 - 5:41, with the one on the viewer's right poking up a little higher than the one on the left.) They have teeny shark faces carved into the tips. The detail isn't painted, so one could completely overlook it, but it's there, and I found it delightful.

[@bastien-]

Cybershark looks like he's picking up litter on the highway in one hand while enjoying a hammerhead lollipop in the other

I love that Paddles hasn't been forgotten. :)

[@VRHyoumaru]

Nonnef sure didn't forget him

[@noahwadhams9797]

17:30 My guess is they thought it was a clever pun, since the seekers are the Stormtroopers (both Star Wars and German) of Transformers and their leader turns into a German pistol and all of them are evil. At least they knew to get rid of it once they started receiving complaints.

[@danielwoodhouse8475]

Wait, what did they write?

[@noahwadhams9797]

​@@danielwoodhouse8475 On the side of the box, they had the name of the German "Special Forces" from the 30's-40's who were responsible for finding people to be put in the Camps.

I needed this today. Your mood is infectious (in a good way). I believe Cybershark’s shark head is a missile for his chest launcher.

Thank you Thew I needed this today. Tony Todd who played the Fallen and Prime Dreadwing passed away and I needed something to take my mind off this garbage week

[@Agarricus]

19:10 yes that is the Dr wu powerglide, there is also a skywarp in the same scale which im sure you would appreciate

[@patimusprime6636]

Someone send this man the Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes!!!

[@Freddyfan1428]

Wilford Brimley is staring at you in "DIABEETUS!!!" lol! 😅

[@andrewgrant6516]

I'm now imagining the new years episodes where you got progressively drunker, only with special brownies. Overload can't fit through the door of Macaddams, so you have to buy him 4 pints at a time and take them out to the car park.

[@MojoTheClown]

RotF SS Devastator is eight great robots, eight great alt modes, and eight great combiner parts. If you plus him with the DNA Design upgrade kit and the Toyhax stickers, he's one of the most impressive Transformers ever produced.

[@anastasiatanaseraphina810]

The female skyward is from Iron Factory - IF EX-27G and is one of three female deceptions, other two being Thundercracker and Starscream ( both in female versions).

[@thehighwayman3122]

3:17 Dinobot Skar(or Scarr) is actually from the IDW comics. He is the Dinobots' Medic and was Grimlock's best friend.

[@galaxytwinstar2353]

Dude every time I watch your videos I smile a lot more because every transformers fan I come across on KZbin or either just so down in the dumpster or just yelling at the rooftops but you you make me smile with your corny jokes and your awesome personality and jokes

[@Shazwazzlers]

Genuinely so glad you finally answered the secret cad file Evan showed you. I had guessed Swoop but that mystery had been bugging me all this time😂

[@aClockworkTomato]

15:18 This Skywarp looks fantastic! Need to search him up ASAP. Great to see you in my feed, Thew! 👍

[@ReikoShadow]

Female Skywarp was indeed made by Iron Factory. They repainted their Slipstream in a three-pack of the original Seekers.

[@ZeeengMicro]

The opening and ending couldn't be more perfect

[@MrLurchsThings]

The Powerglide is possible the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I must find it.

[@SlytherinReviews]

That powergilde is from Dr. Wu line up. For the female Skywarp I’m going to say Iron Factory

[@imperialbricks1977]

A Dammit, Open day is a good day.

[@FlamesReviewsAndMocs]

the small power glide is drwu I belive and that is a version of iron factory skyward.

[@VRHyoumaru]

Just the other day I saw Swoop's box in a Target, but there was a Sludge inside it. Seriously, Sludge was the only SS86 Dinobot that wasn't a hassle to find.

[@LunaticPrime]

That is Earthspark Shockwave (yellow chest window instead of pink). And the back kibble of Overload is a kind of scorpion stinger. The original artwork of him shows him with several insect like legs. I guess they couldn't incorporate that into the figure. We get way too few Transformers with non-humanoid robot modes. But I kinda have a little collection of Transformers with four arms.

[@waynetaylor1044]

Leader Swoop is a damn fine figure. Smyth's toys were doing him on delivery here in the UK. I'm going to hunt down that tiny Powerglide I think.

[@RND_ADV_X]

5:45 he's a Necron flayed one who thinks he's a shark. 🎉

[@spawnytheistic]

You reading off the ingredients for cosmic brownies killed me bro💀

[@syafiqjabar]

Overload in the concept art is a crab-legged centaur. I hope we get a toy of that.

[@DanMcCudden]

15:02 I just got the set of 3 in the mail today. Even had the same polybags.I only had the chance to open Thundercracker. I want to swap heads between him and Starscream. The smirk he has is totally Starscream.

[@The_Real_Mr_Al]

I got myself that Cybershark reissue recently and I love him. I think it and G2 Megatron were the first time I saw actual TF toys at some other kid's home and even though i had no awareness of TF as a small child, seeing them - especially Cybershark - made such an impression to my tiny little child mind. Because as you pointed out, CS just gives you that "Woah, what is THAT!?" first impression! I was born in 92 so I only got into the TF in my twenties when I decided to delve into G1 and BW. Armada just failed to catch the interest of 10 yo me, sadly.

10:39 "I would like, if I may, to offer--" YEESSS PLEASE!

[@Brickerbrack]

3:35 I _was wondering_ about that Korean Garbatron fig in the background; guess I'll have to look that up after... 3:40 The Powermaster is Skar with a K, and in the IDW comics, so is the Dinobot, but the toy is Scarr. And in my 2 minutes of research on TFWiki, apparently he's their "tactical medic", and one of the brilliant minds behind their ability to scan new alt modes on the go! Nice one, Scarr! 4:20 I'd say 11; there's also Strafe (not the two-headed Swoop from the movie, but the Sinnertwin-a-like fembot from IDW). And then there's Kakuryu from Dinoking, who defected to the Autobots and became Grimmaster (who's a Japanese redeco of Brimstone). 9:25 Overload just wants all the hugs. 13:55 They teased in TF Prime Beast Hunters when Optimus got his new alt mode (an AFV designed by Unit E's "MASK division")... then nothing happened. I'm still disappointed they never used Kre-O to launch a huge crossover; it would have been the perfect opportunity! 20:20 The Bishoujo Series figures are indeed officially licenced...

Overload just makes me think of a quote from a short-lived TF podcast that Really is telling on what part of the fandom I’m in “Imagine just going ‘here’s my buddy Orgasm’ when you’re meeting new people”

[@MrDoctorVK]

Think this was one of those times that all was timed perfectly, Thew getting Legacy Core Class Swoop in beginning and SS 86 Leader Class Swoop before end of the vid.

[@anthonylipke7754]

[@DalekTheSupreme]

Honestly, I don't think the Pteranodon/pterodactyl distinction matters as much as I used to think. Pteranodon is the genus but it falls under the pterodactyloid group of pterosaurs along with the actual Pterodactylus. Point is, I just shivered when you said that Swoop seems to have vanished. I held Swoop in my hands once before deciding to save my money and I don't want to miss out on him like I did Snarl.
