Decepticons Are Evolving...

[@papermelon]

Hey fam!! Make sure to set this video to highest 1440p quality, some stuff may be tough to see without that. And don't forget to check out Mykyl's music, I reached out to him after falling In love with that song in the intro I found on Apple Music and he's the chillest dude who deserves the hype. Here's his YT: www.youtube.com/@itsmykyl

[@williamsorrells6058]

So now you might want to look into the short lived toy line that did this everyday house hold items into things first, look up Computer warriors, they had a functional flashlight, calculator, digital clock, and pencil sharpener, among other fun toys, came out in the early 90's and you can watch the pilot episode for a series that they were going to have her on KZbin.

[@t65bx25]

You gave me so much nostalgia seeing that little infinity-Allspark I loved that thing when I had it back in the day lol

[@Richard-u7k]

Yo good video

[@ConfusedCrawDad]

Why the hell is NOBODY talking about that plot twist at the end??? My guy pulled an M night shyamalan in a fucking toy review what a legend

[@trayer_bumr]

FR MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOOR

[@papermelon]

Made me laugh 😂 glad you enjoyed fam

[@damianl2108]

What a twist!

[@alyxgraff9121]

Absolutely amazing video production. No wonder this guy is a skilled editor.

[@Mechdestroyz974]

I wonder if photon t34 was in on it

[@dumbjakeworld]

I'm always so impressed by your film making, the bit with the headphone ordering that toy from ebay felt movie quality - great job man!!

[@Zo1dus]

Yo, get this dude a guest spot on the podcast. This shit is insane.

[@Lurks90]

yoooo hi Jake

[@mitchellbambam5926]

I got Meantime a year ago at a small toy convention. For a character that’s canonically about 5 inches tall, he just looks so indescribably malevolent.

[@papermelon]

Malevolent is the perfect description

[@Vexyprime]

Nice pfp

[@AIcelebrities18]

Man's toy reviews have the production quality of a hollywood film, and that end bit literally had more suspense than "a quiet place"

[@AIcelebrities18]

Also thank you for the heart my lord of melon papers

[@Clarence_attheclub]

Good lord the ending actually sent a chill down my fucking spine 💀 This is actually quality cinema.

[@papermelon]

Haha mission accomplished

[@emeeco8499]

I love the use of the cybertronian language in this video haha, I feel like it was somewhat of a cool thing the bayverse films did that made the decepticons creepy lol

[@trayer_bumr]

SAME why is nobody talking about how clever that is in this video. And the sound affects 😩🔥

Didnt see you mention it on the soundwave, but that plastic cover he comes in actually is an accessory for the tablet mode! The back of it hides aaaaalll of the kibble and makes the tablet look tons better!

i was about to say "what's the point if you can literally see everything from the back?" lmfao.

The part where the headphone piece ordered something by itself was simply amazing! I can't imagine how difficult it was to to film that 🤯

[@axhavoc1519]

Bro his earpiece is a transformer. Ofc it knew what it was doing. And ig the earpiece is decepticon. Like i don’t think autobots will do something like that

I really like how the flip phone backpack came out. Gives him a little carapace like he's a beetle.

[@yghostest]

Dude, every single one of these videos are absolute works of art

[@ConfusedCrawDad]

Facts it’s on another level

[@DicePunk]

Lets all acknowledge the tape deck mode of G1 Soundwave for changing the world.

[@LIOTBs]

Brilliant production! So many layers. This level of production value is not easy, and let's say it you really have to know your stuff. Time lapse photography, subtle light shifts, etc.

[@tunixcrack]

1:09 so unexpected but loved this part. Creative and hilarious great job! 😂

[@FlamesReviewsAndMocs]

th-the ending, what!? defiantly giving me arg vibes

[@DoodleBricks]

Dude, I know I probably said this before but I’ve gotta say it again: I am in LOVE with every aspect of how you edit your videos! You absolutely NAIL all the key components of not only good KZbin video making, but good video making generally! High quality & clean yet interesting visuals, perfectly chosen & edited music (and really paying attention to the beats and emotion-evoking parts of the music), clever comedy & subversion of expectation, good storytelling, clear voiceover, and most importantly: GENUINE HUMAN PASSION! I notice all of these things in your videos, and truly, what you make is top tier. I always get invested in the subject of the video, it feels like an entire experience! Not just a video. It’s such a fun experience that I always come away from feeling good and inspired! Truly, you’re a huge inspiration, and I aspire to create videos that leave others with the positive feelings I have after seeing one of yours. I’m taking notes, and lots of ‘em! 🫡📝

[@papermelon]

Dude this comment made my day. Everything you listed are things I'm incredibly passionate about, and spend countless hours trying to perfect in the production. Thank you for taking the time to share this fam, you're a real one.

[@heebur]

ah man, had so much fun watching this, all of it! many sprinkles of joy all through out, and ofc loved the ending haha. you do such a good job with nailing jokes with the edit, thanks for the fun

[@papermelon]

So glad you had a great time with it man! That’s the goal :)

i don't think any other youtuber captivates me in the way that your videos have for the past few months. They're all just so chock full of personality that I don't think a single other person on the platform could even think of replicating your unique style. Your shots and personality are just wonderful in every way !!

[@tyeohno]

My God, the production value is amazing.

[@tekurohamada7068]

Seeing that flip phone literally unlocked tons of childhood memories, I have no idea if I actually had the exact one but I definitely had a transformer flip phone and I loved the way it transformed. Thanks for the throwback! Awesome video

[@Rougewave_fun]

I remember buying the phone and controller ! I was at pf changs and remember the controller being my favorite cause of his arms and cool head! Love this blast from the past!

[@bearnaff9387]

I have a Meantime somewhere around here (as well as the Autobot repaint of the flip-phone). One of my favorite aspects of Meantime is that it's apparently not too difficult to swap out the fake watch face for a functioning wristwatch. Customizer Jin Saotome (of Jin's Dangerous Toys) did the swap when the toy came out. I had dreams of imitating his work, but using one of the cheap MP3/smartwatch knockoffs on the market at the time - but it never happened.

[@papermelon]

Never seen this, that’s pretty dope though

[@TakaTahuNuva]

Great production value man! Your cinematography and editing doesn’t go unnoticed man, keep it up 🤘🏼

[@Mechdestroyz974]

Imma say this your videos are so convincing beacuse twice your videos convinced me to get something your video was partly about 1. one of every mold for real gear robots, and 2 the tablet soundwave. Note: try to combo the ipod lazerbeak or the autobot version with the tablet soundwave.

[@devist8er117]

7:15 I have no idea why but I actually just instinctively reached out to catch that as it was falling. 😂

[@Gallaelwyd]

I used to have the decepticon phone when I was little. One day I just couldn't find it but I always appreciated how good it was at looking like a normal phone and still transforming. Like it was so good at both functions, the engineering required blew my mind

[@yghostest]

4:35 i have the kinda super rare brazilian exclusive retool of Decepticon Meantime, the Transformers Grendene watch, or simply: autobot Autobot. Yes, that 80's time traveling transformer watch that eventually became Vector Prime.

[@Elite-Magnus]

Now I watch it again i forgot about what it said at the start

The autobot version of the watch actually works as a watch. I still have mine and it still works

[@ChromVsChrom]

I swear your videos have come quite a ways! The quality to these are fantastic! Also I had that same all spark toy too!

[@CloudStudiosPhoto]

The Transforming Point and Shoot transformer camera figure was by far my favorite figure from this line, alt mode wise, but I loved this toy line and I’m glad you’re covering it. Seems that nobody talks about this line of transformers!

[@ililli28sa]

Why am i watching this again ? Ah yes, beer and the god tier chill of this video.

When I was a child, I had one that had a bird mode, a gun mode and a video camera mode. An expanation for Gen-Z/Alpha: there was an overlapping period between cameras that captured on film roll and those that captured digitally, uhere we had video cameras seperate to our phones. You would hold it like a miniature RPG launcher, it had a little screen on the side that flipped out & sometimes rotated, and the lens extended a little out the front. It was a tech geek's dream.

In the '80s there was a Transformer watch. You wore the band and the watch body came off and changed into a robot. Nobody covers that.

[@joevictor53]

4:44 Yes! Exactly this! I'm a casual Transformers fan. I only ever watched the first 2 films and then Bumblebee and Transformers One more recently. The only toys I got were a few Legends class ones from those first 2 movies. I recently got back into them because of the collab toys they've been doing and even I, as a really casual fan, was bothered by Nedry being an Autobot.
