Deformed Thomas Transformer - Bootleg Zones

Looks like Thomas and his friends are more than meets the eye .

“Well, that’s just prime.”

Suicidal bootleg Thomas attempting to throw himself off the table and Phelous aggressively pushing it back is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Thomas the lemming engine

[@Gameboy3DS]

I love how instead of coal for fuel, Thomas is using “Power Packs”.

[@humanconvertile]

I honestly thought "Deformed" was just what Phelous was calling it. Of course it's actually what they named their silly toy. Oh, I love you bootlegs

[@wstine79]

This is a train so deformed, Sir Phelous Hatt had to send him to a tunnel and seal it up with bricks.

[@crazyjedi5994]

Energon cubes in the coal bunker was such a cool design choice.

I can't believe there's more than one Thomas the Tank Engine Transformer bootleg toy. Makes you think that maybe IDW should get a move on that crossover comic already lol

Well, at least this Thomas Transformer isn’t being upstaged by another train in his robot form. And only has ONE Thomas face…

Thomas truly took the whole "Dare To Be Stupid" concept and went with it! He looks like the abandon member of the Junkions.

The fact that it shares the «fondle admiringly» line with a certain... rooster toy is making me concerned.

[@mylastaccountgotdeletedtha6936]

Boy, the Thomas the Tank Engine lore is f*cking weird as hell.

[@wumpus976]

I know this is probably a joke, but it actually is. The original author of the books wrote an entire 150 page compendium dedicated to the history of the island of Sodor, complete with lore you’d never expect from Thomas. Some of my favorites are 1. The fact that the town of Killdane may or may not have been used as a Satanist cult. 2. Henry was the result of a scandal at Doncaster where someone stole flawed designs for a steam engine from the real life engine designer Sir Nigel Gresley. And 3. When he received Henry, Sir Topham Hatt the first said, and I quote from the book itself: “I wanted an Atlantic, and that _______ _____ _____ sent me that!” Wilbert Awdry really liked world building.

[@adampoole948]

Nice to see them making toys that traumatize your kids again 😆

[@sussybaka119]

When I was little I thought Thomas was creepy enough, can't imagine him standing like a transformer

[@weirdkitty07]

Deformed Thomas missed and opportunity to have a Hunchback of Notre Dame cartoon crossover one which transforms into a carriage. I do have sopme Deformation Tycoon bootlegs (but not Thomas). You might want to search for them as they are actually kind of decent, but the transformations of their optomus prime from age of extinction feels like it will break. Strill this is far more hilarious. I also have the Tycoon bumblebee.

[@jamesoblivion]

When I saw the title, I thought 'Deformed' was commentary by Phelous...then I saw the box. 😆

[@gracekim1998]

That Thomas toy seems desperate to end suffering 😅

[@TPrower]

Henry was sent to Crewe after the Flying Kipper accident to get a new, better shape for his health. Where did Thomas have to go to in order to become a Transformer? I doubt the Sodor Steamworks or even the Dieselworks could've accomplished that.

[@bigbigarchive]

The fact that it transforms on it's own is horrible. It's like a sick alien mimic from Prey. Stuck between two modes. Screaming as it transforms back and forth, trying to throw itself off a cliff.

[@VerdantRange]

This bootleg Thomas became a hideously deformed figure of super-human size and strength.

Oh He got to G6 Thomas, I don't know the G1 Thomas was less articulated but it had more charm

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Thomas mania is MASSIVE so it makes sense that bootleggers would try to capitalize on anything they can make with his face on it. Even outside the Transformer and other toys, the amount of bootlegs Thomas has that are just train sets is brain numbing, especially when you consider how many of them are fire hazards either because of their shoddy electronics or ones that actually make 'steam' but require you to use oil (like baby oil or coconut) or alcohol to power them. I am not kidding.

[@transatlanticnostalgia4655]

Hi. I recently came across your channel, starting with the "Titanic-Bot" video (I'm an ocean liner enthusiast, and I had that toy when I was 9. I actually bought it in my country, Ukraine, and was SO GLAD to finally find a Titanic toy). But I also remember another thing I bought in Ukraine. It was an "Army Base" set from the Chinese company "Enlighten Brick" (Which is very similar to Lego). They make "Lego" sets of a lot of stuff, and many of them are military-themed (They have a Battleship set, an aircraft carrier set, and a couple of military base sets). They call this their "Combat Zones" series. My grandmother bought me a military base set because I had seen one in the playroom of a sanatorium we were visiting, and when we came back home, we built it. Even though it's exactly like Lego,,they did a pretty good job on the details, and their sets are awesome. (My grandma had to run to the store two times because some parts were missing, but she finally found a complete set, and the missing parts were a mistake of the store itself). Those "Enlighten Brick Combat Zones" sets are pretty awesome, and, even though they seem to be bootleg "Legos", they've got really good quality. I think you should check them out! You won't be disappointed. And if you want, please do a review of Enlighten Brick Item 0279 (That's the set I have).

Why does this face look like something you’d see out of a slasher? That grin of Thomas is really kind of off putting. I suppose if you focus on his face long enough, you don’t see him transform and then squash you like a bug. But if you lead him to a cliff, he’ll take himself about.
