[@M1NDxBEND3R]

Autobots are coming up next! I hope you like snow

[@unshotacewc9453]

M1NDxBEND3R please do a red mustang named red streek

[@ravensflight2965]

M1NDxBEND3R Please Build a Prime !

[@unshotacewc9453]

[@chadcostello1407]

I love giraffes forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Also reminds me of a kinder suicide squad)

[@unshotacewc9453]

😀

[@frankfurhter]

You've heard of Phobia and the Fang Gang, now get ready for... SHEEN AND THE SQWUAK SQUAD

[@aslothnamedfish]

Yes I need it now

[@LEGO-mn5jy]

Oh no what is happening soon even my mom is going to come up with some kind of team of Deceptacon’s

[@totenzgasaw]

" They're dead. " I don't remember last time I laughed so hard. Keep up the good work, you're making great bots and I would love to see more insects, arachnids, well creepy stuf in general.

[@syweb2]

Bit of a downer, that line. It worked, but it drove home the fact that some of these characters won't make it.

[@ananomaly3346]

Something tells me veesix won’t make it either

[@darrelh6545]

I now hate Crosspunch. I don’t care about war!

[@grimm3698]

I know this is three years old but I always had a concept for phobia having these sort of bodyguards (not that she needs them lol) that are giant rhinoceros beetles with giant war hammers. Just really strong transformers that can take massive hits and deal back even bigger ones. I was thinking about something like twin sisters or twin brothers that she found and hired because of their teamwork and strength.

[@JDD333]

Hey, Mindbender, I just realized something: you've never made any Tank formers. I'm not requesting one, but I just realized that. Maybe you can use it to hunt the Giraffes.

[@davep1135]

Yes

[@zenogaming6053]

Yeah youre right,there are 3 guys from whitch he can get inspiration: Megatron,Brawl and Bludgeon

[@JDD333]

Zeno Gaming well, at least that means that I'll have little competition when I release my Lego Transformers, which are about 40% Tanks, even though that's only 3.

[@aubrimus2410]

YES

[@gavin5410]

SuperiorCoyoteTango 123 so you have 7.5 transformers?

[@farpopcorn1565]

You still running for president because the day is fast approaching

[@Devo57]

I love how Ben Minder gives so much character to his characters. Case in point: The Best Friends Montage.

[@cierianregenwetter534]

Build a self transformer, kinda of like a self moc! You know, something that represents you, if you know DrScorpionX you know what I’m talking about.

[@Randomizer903]

Man, I wish that guy was still active.

[@Nero-xm3xp]

Randomizer903 what happened to him

[@Randomizer903]

no idea. some time to years ago, he just... stopped.

[@bumblebot2458]

Actually, there's a song made by a family member of his called "The Return" about a character called Scorpion, who's pieces were long ago scattered and is now seeking revenge. In fact, among the similarities from before, the caption picture features a hand in the sand (heh) that looks strikingly similar to the hand of the most recent iteration of DrScorpionX's self moc. Call me crazy, but he could be coming.

[@raaston9761]

I did one

[@Stampycatgogo]

a scorpion that walk thru walls. *shudders*

[@LeaderOptimus]

I do love your builds, but I think you're also great to think about backstories for your characters ! I really liked this video, keep up !

[@garfthesecond7609]

Can you please do another combiner like death toll I thought you were really good at that so PLEEEEAAASE

[@katiekirby7989]

please don't kill the graffes

[@sethbolivar]

one thing that i love about your channel is that your so good at making stories and stuff whenever you make things like that

[@Askel1337]

I love these guys. They are very charming!

[@ChaoticTeen16]

So much characterisation in that montage. I love it!

[@nachoparadise9262]

Yeah.....it does sound like a band.....(cough) KW Legoformers(cough)

[@gunkhead]

Loved watching these when I was a younger, still love this squad- even the original Blue Got inspired for sure 🤍❤

[@adriancardona2172]

The gold that is the description Q and A is the type of stuff I live for.

[@downgrade101]

I dig in-depth character bios. Please continue! I would personally love to hear the back story on Blue Shifter. I like her.

[@henryherold4515]

That friendship montage was the best thing ever. What's next, stop motion scenes? Lego Transformers shorts?

[@zenogaming6053]

"If you enjoy waching this video......oh boy Spineret is doing like MJ over here!"hahahaha 😂 that got me

[@Blockio1999]

I cant put into words how much I am loving this right now

[@Randomizer903]

Awesome! This is pretty much what I suggested! Something that gives your characters more personality! :D Loved that montage!

[@samurexatlas7373]

I made an assistant for them. He's not an Arachnidformer, but has that arachnid sense. He becomes a jet and his thruster becomes a shield. My idea for his origin is he was an autobot protomorph, but awole before the spider mode got downloaded.

[@nevercallmebyname]

Is there any fanart of these drawn in the cartoon style yet? I'd love to see that.

[@coffeecartoons5345]

Not a clue but I hope

[@squatchbricks]

2024 is here, M1NDxBEND3R for president!

[@jdmyrick-smith7931]

I like this sort of video it gives the bot more character and overall improves the quality

[@scuffedroller2298]

the best friends montage.. OMG that was the best thing ever xD

[@blakeagalloway7007]

absolutely love this. The colors are top notch 👌

[@juantroisi6276]

I love the idea of silly OP decepticons goons who are all about freindship!

[@theguyintheworks8838]

"Hey Gary giraffe...yeah yeah..found the guy..make sure he isn't elected.."

[@danielgreig726]

Dude, you should build a group of normal sized transformers that join together into a massive transformer... that transforms. Crazy idea but I think I'd be cool.

[@lenmark8930]

Daniel Greig uh death toll?

[@lenmark8930]

Oh nevermind death toll cant transform

[@janka4820]

can't wait to vote for you

[@kwlegoformers7400]

Haha now people are gunna wonder why ur killing giraffes lol

[@M1NDxBEND3R]

Their blood is on your hands KW

[@kwlegoformers7400]

Perhaps it was my plan all along

[@bnashtay2278]

Hoh? So your Intimidating me?

[@gtrail6001]

These are the guys that have their own IDW comic special. (Probs like 4 chapters) I imagine that they work alone from the standard Decepticon team and are probably called in time to time but otherwise just do their own thing. Speaking of which, you said Crosspunch killed her Raptor(s) which gave me the idea that maybe these guys are currently being tracked? Or was this before? A bot that is currently assigned to kill the killers would be something nice XD. Anyways, great job as always! Can’t wait to see your next creation.

[@nathanmclean3065]

Please do make more videos like this, I really enjoy just hearing interesting stories like these

[@RedLeaderSarge]

Dude I loved this type of video please do more, keep up the great work

[@nathanmcdermott1960]

First off SAVE DA GIRAFFES and second I love all of your content no matter what but I love your transformer combiners and the more unusual vehicle modes so yeah props to you for that man keep up the amazing content

[@just5317]

Give them instruments. Please.

[@VicEntity]

Nite Terror is the bass player, Phobia plays the guitar. Harvestmen are the drumers and Spineret gets the vocals.

[@krismadymatt7751]

Hey M1NDxBEND3R, I was thinking for an ability for the Harvestmen (since it kind-of runs in the team), and I have thought of something I think is pretty good... Due to the transparent red pieces, Harvestmen is able to alter his body weight and stabilize the gravity around him, making him almost weightless. With this ability, Harvestmen is 75% quicker and can jump to drastic heights. He is just as weak as he was in his normal mode, but he is extremely hard to hit and, if the other way around, a hard predator to escape from. ... good idea, right?

[@LewisGaming99]

Really liked the more comedic style, keep up the good work.

[@oxyconing]

4 more years M1NDxBEND3R. 4 more years until you run for president, I'll be wait to vote for you

[@jakobwright8607]

Blackza: **blush about phobia** Blackza: um.

[@level-yf3eh]

Hey i used to watch you as a kid but now it's been so long and now it's 2022 two years from your goal king two years.

[@daks_7122]

we NEED new raptors! they got me hooked on this channel! make them cool, you must, yes?

[@Jomari_Idioma]

Awesome as always good job keep it up👍 here's an idea how bout a sea team. An aircraft carrier a submarine and a battle ship. Not requesting though 😝

[@knaifu9518]

hey man, you're not running for president right now. Come on. :(

[@natalierivelli5270]

You should totally do more videos like this one, as a matter of fact, do another one on the Swat team!

[@Iamwolf134]

Night terror, I'd imagine by your description of him, doesn't use his venomous sting to kill, but rather to temporarily incapacitate through excruciating pain, and for just long enough so that he can get his victim to the fang gang's base of operations alive!

[@Shovel________________]

i can imagine spinneret and phobia just having a good time while nite terror sits in the corner and makes demon noises

[@socsangameplay8085]

I liked it a lot. You should make more videos like this 🙂

[@The_Draganox]

I wonder if the team would switch sides if given the chance... Either way, they're still amazing figures.

[@ryansorensen1753]

Hey I was wondering if u will ever put the harvest men up for sale on it store again and if I could buy multiple of them

[@raver377]

these are awesome. i just stumbled accross your channel and havent seen all videos yet but they are all great. im hoping to see an asymetrical transformer in the human-esque form. similiar to something like the retiarius gladiator type which has larger armor on one arm. i think with the right design something like that could look awesome. however i do realise that that may be abit of a challenge ^^

[@steampunkturret67williams68]

If they were actual Decepticons, I would join them myself

[@jotreuil]

You've got my vote

[@NovexusNui777]

Spinneret being DAT SMOOTH CRIMINAL

[@Amaterasu-wh6xj]

I really like this color scheme

[@01eksii]

Considering TF lore, all of those cons went through the same operation as shockwave (their unique head that resembles their personality was replaced with extremely basic one as a punishment ,tho shockwave got it more like a part of his torture )

[@JunkJester6131]

Due to Nite Terror's intangebility power, I bet Phobia and Spinnerret make a lot of Danny Phantom references around him.

[@zarchblarch2490]

I really like your new humor

[@joshebersole6913]

"He doesn't really want to hurt anybody?" Im dead

[@alexknj1]

I'd like to imagine that the Shattered Glass version of these guys are super sadistic and evil.

[@nicholasmckelvey3823]

Could you post lists of the pieces used for this team?

[@drowningdragon2529]

Why does Spinneret have the same axe as widow?

[@astralflare42studios]

MAKE THEM INTO COMBINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really think that that would be an awesome idea.

[@antoni9790]

I just realized you gave Phobia MK II a Naginata. Thanks Fire Emblem!

[@QuizMasterEntertainment]

well, you don't mess with cross punch, hope he's doing well back home. I liked the video, it gave the gang more personality, kinda wonder how it would turn out if they face "Prime's bad side". maybe you won't do stop motions, but what about a more comic book style?

[@kittycuddler_4437]

They'd be dead, Nite Terror might try fighting but get knocked down, Spinneret would attempt to defend Phobia but possibly lose a leg and Phobia could make it out alive if she ran, though it's not certain so death is possible if she didn't choose right

[@QuizMasterEntertainment]

Three years late for this reply bud

[@kittycuddler_4437]

@@QuizMasterEntertainment Yeah

[@z_ali324]

I love how they all have red eye/s, is it possible if you make a battle bug? for fighting with them and his personality it that he is a little grumpy but he likes his job. His job can be to defend of big swarms like the autobots that your about to make.

[@adeonevans9842]

You should make tank,gun bigger, a sound wave like character, and a combiner that can transform into a starship

[@tealnaga8107]

I imagine them as a combiner so well!! Phobia could be the torso and shoulder and upper leg armor, Spinneret could be the arms and upper back, and Nite Terror could make up the legs(with high heels I imagine) and lower back. And even a combination of Phobia’s and Spinneret extra limbs(from their alt. forms) could form large wings for flight! The main weapon would be a fusion of Phobia’s spear and Spinneret’s axe could be a scythe!! I believe the name of this combined would be.... Arch-Racnid!!!

[@ashtonanimations1507]

Hey mindbender could you do a parts list for the harvest men

[@BrAnd0n_1103]

Cross punch is my guy. I love the design of him👌

[@TheOddsoxxgirl]

I really get why Phobia was made after spinnerette (in making) but it makes sense that spinnerette really looks like phobia

[@scoobasteve1123]

Yass I love the story type of vids pleas do this again

[@zombiefried2363]

If everyone in the fang gang had a voice, what do you think they'd sound like (minus nite terror)

[@zarchblarch2490]

Omg the best friend montage killed me

[@legoguy5031]

1. More of these videos, I'm a big fan of lore. 2. Cross Punch is always a good thing and does this mean he is alive or did phobia kill him? 3. Will these "lore" videos be only for new characters or will some if your previous builds get the lore treatment?

[@impastanoodle3887]

I love the best friends montage lol

[@gamerguy6942]

I ball so, they would scare me. Just as long as I have a shotgun. A spas-12 specifically, because that is an automatic shotgun. And of course a judge shotgun revolver (with incendiary shells) hidden so that I can easily make it impossible for them to get info out of me.

[@nerbs_the_word]

Now we wait for Spinneret/Phobia fan art!

[@relaxless9301]

You should make them all into one big robot it would be so cool

[@splabooshkey3343]

Wait... you built 2 of each?

[@loom2daeye2danose]

What about a team that transform into big weapons like a ballista, catapult, trumbucket?(idk the spelling XD), and a cannon.

[@thatboikaiser2790]

ThatOneLaserKid Azotillo trebuchet

[@AzureWargbjorn]

Was good to get info on them

[@endobro-ym9vv]

i like too imagine that nit terror is the only one that scares megatron.

[@thecreator6959]

I like how Chile he is about the raptors

[@stephieboston]

so is void the decepticon commander or just the air commander

[@boowundah1666]

you're the man Mindbender!!!!

[@dravenalvarado9694]

U should make a stop motion series to explain the story of your lego transformer series

[@eyobwalid2332]

Thought the description said, “a balanced diet of puppies”! Lol

[@williamrothan764]

Let's hope the Mixel Tribe of the Fang Gang don't associate themselves with these guys, who are almost completely different from them.

[@47_was_here3]

To be honest, I would have said the harvest men were the reformatted raptors Phobia had

[@awesomeinmortal3499]

Yes pls more lore and amazing robots

[@DeanxPeaceMaker]

Hey mind bender do you think you could make a autobot with a crush on nite terror I just think it would be a cool idea

[@hakai9196]

Nite terror should use it’s scorpion legs as some kind of weapon in robot mode.

[@theinsomnasia8777]

I want someone to turn this into a youtube show

[@kingravve8257]

What do you have against giraffes?

[@abmlr_productions9801]

I LOVE NITE TERROR!!! HE IS MY FAVOURITE!!!!

[@lordkermit4657]

I think nighterror would be able to make nearly anyone talk just by bringing phobia into the room

[@M1NDxBEND3R]

Phobia asks the questions, Nite Terror gets the answers.

[@TheArne959]

is there a tutorial somwhere how to build them yourself ?
