Ah, rats. Okay, substitute that line: "This killer Kenworth is a complete colossus of catastrophe, kids!"

[@odstr-1244]

"There's a limit to how much awesomeness I can handle per day and I already go through it being *me* " Damn,Alright Thew. You earned my sub lol

[@mephosto]

shithead roller would be a kickass band name.

[@benvoliothefirst]

Canon now!

[@crapstirrer]

Rewatching this in 2018 and all I can think of is how you look like a nerdier Bill Oddie.

[@SwedishSeacon]

Is it me or does he look thinner on this video?

[@massiveschnose1512]

@@SwedishSeacon he was

[@massiveschnose1512]

He also looks like a wholesome wizard

[@BobBob-qg4lo]

Optimus: who are you? Nemesis prime: I’m you, but better.

[@youraveragemorononyoutube4435]

Shattered glass optimus:pathetic scums

[@TimeCircleBlue]

I always wanted an MP-10 mold. I ended up getting my hands on Shattered Convoy. Absolutely no regrets. Also he has a shoulder paint app that says: *TILL ALL ARE GONE*

[@W1zT3ch]

Bro same

[@pugmasterben]

I regret selling mine tbh

[@collguyjoe99]

Once you get your 1st MP, you are addicted. Mine was MP ghost Starscream. I just bought MP-10B this evening. and Subbed

[@Kyrasis]

Same order for me. Good choices! :)

[@Ravenfellblade]

Dammit, now I want a Shithead Roller toy to fill in for YotH Platinum Prime's missing Roller. Maybe a Douchebag Spike, too.

[@kalsonica7463]

Hey Thew, I've always been jealous of your Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime as it's so pricey to pick up now. Feel a bit guilty but I've got the MPP10B oversized knockoff which is unbelievably good. I have a few versions of Nemesis Prime but this is one that hits the spot! Keep doing what you're doing dude!

[@jaredultimatum]

6:06 almost some terminator there. :)

[@caffeinedelusions]

I've got a friend who's a Psychology student. For some stupid reason, we were discussing which of the 'enneagram' personality archetypes (and their 'how mentally healthy are you' sub archetypes, details to be had at the Enneagram Institute's website) various Transformer characters were. Optimus Prime is clearly a very healthy 8. Megatron usually comes off as an unhealthy but functional 3. Nemesis, though, usually comes off as a deeply unhealthy 8. Somehow, your review brought this to mind.

[@roonis418]

The part where you take about repaints you should put that on a shirt. "I've falling into their trap haven't I? Yes I have and I like it in here!"

[@nuhuh4144]

1: you looked amazing with long hair 2: “Check it out, Check it down, Check f*cking mate!” Amazing line!

[@pizzaking2189]

Don't know if its been pointed out, but there are little panels that fold down from the elbows and help close up the bottom side of the truck mode just before the metal tank pieces. i noticed you didn't have them down during your review

[@blammers]

I want a shithead Roller.

[@mini-conlongarm8021]

I want an MP Run-Over (Nemesis Prime's Mini-Con) and Vorpal Saber.

[@poolboijohan705]

Benbot o

[@stuartkseels]

I laughed my arse off @ "a shithead Roller"

[@L1LegoAnimations]

I got MP-01 Optimus when the 20th Anniversary edition of the '86 movie came out, I was almost 9 at the time. Still have it, and now it's legs are all scratched up but dear Lord does it still look sick. Needless to say I still bought an MP-10 just to have one that scales better with the other MP's and has a trailer. This review just makes me more excited for the Shattered Glass MP-10.

[@fishpop]

Was reminded of this video so came to rewatch it. Then he mentioned how MP-10 was new, making me check the upload date with dread. 10 years ago, this review is a few moths over a decade old... (October 2013) Man i feel old...

[@suicideking302]

man i am so glad you used that terminator track to show the front of the truck mode!

[@EternalRoman]

Mr. Thew Adams,it's great to have you back reviewing...one thing I would like to point out in the transformation to truck mode,you forgot to flip out the two covers close to the elbows that cover the sides close to the "gas tanks".They move sideways,aside that,as always your reviews are the best of best & entertaining as always.Your sir have been missed :) & as another cool reviewer would say "You don't stop playing because you get old,you get old because you stop playing" Keep on Rockin'

[@KJF-ny]

You can fill in the gap between the front wheel wells and the chrome tanks on the side. Before you lock the arms in place there's a panel that flips down. IIt just polishes off the alt mode perfectly.

[@Grindor-FR]

My first MP was Shattered Glass MP-10 and I absolutely love it. Even despite the mold degradation in one of the hip joints.

[@drakesterX]

I was lucky enough to pick up my MP10 for a decent price... Now I want this guy... CURSES!!

[@Gravadel]

Saw this review last year, and today the re-release is with me right now as I'm watching this again. THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME POORER THEW.

[@TheMightyGrimlock]

Awesome video mate. I liked the nifty little Fear Factory sample there too ;) He does look rather special. And I can testify from my United Black Optimus Prime, that black, silver and teal do indeed go together rather spiffingly!

[@DrummingTheBlues]

Just got it today great review man bravo

[@ghostrider4109]

1:23 this picture right here. I actually used to have that one guy on the left when I was younger

[@Razlo5000]

Masterpiece soundwave review is far far over due, thew. ...over-Thew?

[@matthewschmitt4421]

Coming back to these old videos I can't help but see the bald chill guy of today hiding behind that hair like a wig made of so much insecurity and depression.

[@Thanquee]

'Creamy' and the next-level as fuck camera work when you went 'oh god!' when talking about the weight of the toy both really impressed me - a bloody good episode to come back on!

[@AwkwardKyle]

When you were holding it in truck mode, all I could think about was it chasing down John Conner.

[@godzillagilbert1337]

Another good pun is “this frightening freightliner is the true king of the road”

[@zim129]

probably not the first or last to point this out, but there's a flap on his arms that fills out the cab behind the wheels. One of my favorite parts! You probably know and just forgot, I forget that step 90% of the time

[@decimationmhk]

This review is absolute poetry. And extra kudos for the Body Hammer cameo!

[@4stringmike]

MP-10 is my favorite figure in my collection - and this does indeed look like a very sexually charged repaint of the mold! I would highly recommend getting MP Soundwave from ToysRus before the scalpers clear him out!

[@caffeinedelusions]

Not gonna lie, this is exactly the logic that gave me the excuse to buy MP-49 Black Convoy.

[@theranger3318]

The only time Nemesis Prime fit into the show was during the Unicron Trilogy, and he was BAD ASS!!!

[@HouseholdWheel]

Scourge

[@TheClaybennett57]

Prime

[@jwnicks30]

Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out. By the way, your show is my go to to find out which Bots I'll buy and don't! You rule!

[@GloomGaiGar]

3:31 oozing a tiny bit of vangelus there and we approve

[@UDAMZ]

Once again Thew sells these lovely lumps of plastic like he's some sort of Transformer sales rep. I'm damn close to purchasing one of these.

[@God8010]

This guys last second remakes are huge hits to the movie. Like Black Convoy was just a body used by Megatron, hence why it has the autobot logo. Nemesis Prime is his own man and with this release while the Michael Bay trilogy lingers, this guy gets an official "herald of Unicron" title.

[@WynterStormYT]

I feel like the scenes with Skywarp and Nemesis together should have been followed by Skywarp pushing someone (RID Scourge?) down a flight of stairs while Nemesis casually swaggers away.

[@skizzlep]

There's a part of me that wants ta buy expensive chunks of plastic, just ta send them across the pond, just so Thew can review them, just so I can get about 8 minutes of awesome. Probably worth it. Definitely worth it.

[@TheSimonjnsson]

It makes me giggle every time he says "Plus it's springloaded.. Bam!"

[@GamerPro174]

G1 Prime was a Peterbilt flatnose semi, Motormaster was the Kenworth K100 Semi.

[@OverFuryAndTheFire]

Absolutely had the same dilemma with getting an MP-10 since I already own MP-1. Used your exact reasoning and got MP-10U White Ultra Magnus instead of Nemesis though

[@Bumphuk]

BBTS has G1 Bumblebee and Wheeljack listed, they have also suggested a G1 accurate Ultra Magnus using this figure!

[@NightmareZerogbs]

Watching this in joyful anticipation because I FINALLY have my own version of this mold comIng in the mail! :D Yeah, sure, the blinged out YOTH golden cromed one, but it was a third of a price ^^;

[@PapyTF]

Thanks a lot for this crazy funny hell review! I'll standing for my birthday the next November 6th to can open my MP-10 Hasbro Optimus Prime with Spike and trailer and MP Soundwave with his 5 tapes.. I can't stand.. To hard. A French Transformers fan.

[@glennaleonhart]

Keep up the awesome reviews! You certainly keep it entertaining while it's informative!

[@bendundidit]

This video was a triumph of Quality Playability and Presentation.

[@fishpop]

6:06 Bit of a Top Gear moment there.

[@wewyllenium]

Nice review style. I really dig this redeco. Love that decepticon symbol.

[@fealmor]

however after watching your video, i'm totally sold on the idea of getting black mp10, because this mold looks better black. and more suited towards being evil, while mp01 is more good guy leader looking .

[@riicky83]

My MP-10 I got is the year of the horse version so Optimus looks good in the darker colours.

[@TakeWalker]

No lie, MP Soundwave is hands down the best MP I've seen. (Admittedly, had not seen this fella until you reviewed him, so take that as you will.)

[@gumperP]

One of the figures I miss. Have MP1 Prime, Mp10 Prime, Mpp10 Prime, Mp1 Magnus, Mp10 Magnus, MPP10 Magus,. Then only have Mpp10B (Nemesis). Need more Nemesis Prime!

[@ExaggeratedElegy]

Looking dapper, sir :) Like the glasses! I may have to seek out that repaint. You won;t hear me saying that very often. George

[@chaffeeee]

I forgot your name so I had to search up "beard british transformer reviewer

[@MrJohnjohn35]

alway's nice to finish off the day with a thew review!

[@Jcc2224]

Dang... I didn't know this thing is... THIS GOOD. I have the TRU version, and that's my favorite Transformer in my 200+ collection. But this is just... as you put it in your MP Skywarp review, "Liquid sex!" XD

[@Bobsheaux]

7:23 - Uh-oh. Maggot Man.

[@SharkNinjaBlueStar]

Damnit Thew, you've rekindled my seething fanboner for MP-10 and my deep, sad depression for being broke as fuck and not owning it.

[@Hucklebubba]

Aaaaaactually, the original Prime's alt mode was a Freightliner FL-86. So... "This fiendish Freightliner is a fell fount of ferocity, friends!"?

[@RobbieHaydtLMAO]

Also, the windshield wipers move

[@Wigglyferret]

Dude, AWESOME review of one damn good figure. And your right: It's a awesome time to be a Transformers collector. Keep the reviews coming, Thew. Your one of the best man and I really love your stuff!

[@allanmonster111]

I'm contemplating getting this fig!

[@joeyredhat1]

My 30's started that week too.

[@calvinhuiyangonglee1053]

My favorite MP10B review!

[@MrTheMighty]

Ah, consolations on thirty dude. I've been there since March this year and it isn't the nicest place. But screw it, Transformers is turning 30 too, and it seems like the plastic crisis is leveling off a bit, so things are feeling pretty good. I want- nay, CRAVE- that voyager class Rhinox!

[@cartkart1]

I don’t collect Masterpiece but the Ghostbusters version of MP-10 is _gorgeous_

[@MrTheMighty]

Holy crap, I have that same transforming Splinter/Turtle Van!

[@SouthPawPhilly]

part that are metal: 1.matrix 2.back of the legs 3.feet

[@randomusprime2475]

the new Black Convoy rerelease​ is $60 less than the hasbro MP-10, which is now $189.99

[@La_sra_de_las_mentiras]

This Nemesis Prime is elegant, have good color, accesories and details. He could be like a little tribute of the Stephen King´s movie "The Car", well.. in this case ¿"The truck"? (Only my opinion) hehe.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I look forward for the upcoming MP-44 G1 Optimus Prime mold to have a Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy repaint.

[@DragoonMS]

And then Takara apparently announces exactly that: MP49 Black Convoy, a repaint of MP44 that doesn't have the trailer and stuff, and will apparently run 200 bucks.

[@stuartkseels]

Thanks a shitload. Now I have to buy one! DAMN! I'll have to ask my wife for some pocket money now.

[@exillionXLR]

You discredited the Black Convoy continuity....kudos. Will Smith once said "I GOTS TO GET ME ONE OF THEEEESSEEE!" Waiting for that teacher salary to come in then.....lovely reviewy stuff ol' buddy ;)

[@Thatfruitydude]

Thew these videos make my day. I hope you make more soon. I see you look happier and I wish you all The best.

[@vocalcalibration8033]

It's been a while since I've seen Thew with hair.

[@whatthefuckeidos9230]

I believe that the die-cast is in the feet and in the handles of the Matrix.

[@Angelustoboz]

Oh, god the turck from the Terminator 2 :O

[@averyapehandz]

Got my preorder for this figure

[@RigasTelRuun]

Epic Beard upgrade for an epic robot.

[@Vangelus]

The alliterating ancillary adjectives are annihilating!

[@roonis418]

please do some more combiner war reviews! Would love to see burticus or computron either unite wars or reg release. thanks again for all your great reviews!

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

Holy shit, that's some awesome phonetic alliteration! XD

[@MrJakesterfication]

im liking the poster in the background.

[@njrk97]

its true. If you watch all his videos over a week, he does make a new video.

[@Thanquee]

WOOOOAH that transformation music

[@grayskull1979]

yeah! I fucking love being a toy person too YO! Got some Masterpiece Transformers since takara restart the fucking awesome line!^^ I got MP-10 Optimus, MP-11 Starscream, MP-12 Sideswipe, MP-13 Soundwave with all his 5 minions (including MP-15,16 packs) MP-14 Red Alert and newest is MP-17 Prowl. I would kill for Masterpiece Transformers. Fucking love that line! It's the essence of great G1 Transformers figures I wanted since over 25 years when I was a child in the fucking awesome 80's! :-D

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

Looks great! But until MP-10 has the cracking tyre issues resolved, I won't be throwing my many at another one. Are the tyres on yours okay? check on the inner side of the rims.

[@blammers]

Perfect ride for the T-1000.

[@gokaisilver3801]

the smokestacks slide down in vehicle mode

[@waspshot23]

This is high grade smut. God it looks so good in black...

[@notsoalex]

I question my existence when I love plastic.

[@springartist3454]

westjames/notirishman lol

[@Bumphuk]

Actually........... He's a White Freightliner. I feel bad for knowing that. Motormaster was a KW though.

[@BubblesTheBard]

good to see you back mate!

[@vlenhoff]

Great review! I have this one as well and I love it.

[@Undrave]

Happy Birthday Thew! Welcome to the 30s :D
