😀

[@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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@Stampycatgogo]

a scorpion that walk thru walls. *shudders*

[@farpopcorn1565]

You still running for president because the day is fast approaching

[@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 !

[@nachoparadise9262]

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

[@Devo57]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@gunkhead]

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

[@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

[@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

[@ChaoticTeen16]

So much characterisation in that montage. I love it!

[@downgrade101]

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

[@adriancardona2172]

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

[@zenogaming6053]

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

[@Askel1337]

I love these guys. They are very charming!

[@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.

[@Blockio1999]

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

[@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?

[@blakeagalloway7007]

absolutely love this. The colors are top notch 👌

[@jdmyrick-smith7931]

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

[@Randomizer903]

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

[@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 😝

[@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.

[@LewisGaming99]

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

[@juantroisi6276]

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

[@henryherold4515]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@theguyintheworks8838]

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

[@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

[@The_Draganox]

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

[@jakobwright8607]

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

[@scuffedroller2298]

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

[@daks_7122]

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

[@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!

[@astralflare42studios]

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

[@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 )

[@oxyconing]

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

[@Shovel________________]

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

[@squatchbricks]

2024 is here, M1NDxBEND3R for president!

[@socsangameplay8085]

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

[@BrAnd0n_1103]

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

[@natalierivelli5270]

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

[@JunkJester6131]

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

[@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!!!

[@antoni9790]

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

[@steampunkturret67williams68]

If they were actual Decepticons, I would join them myself

[@NovexusNui777]

Spinneret being DAT SMOOTH CRIMINAL

[@tarksaglk6837]

Wait... "Fang Gang" name already exists as a official Lego product Isn't they are Mixels from series 2? They're Mixels who has bright and dark brown colors. Sharp tooth on every member. They gnash trees and makes totems.

[@splabooshkey3343]

Wait... you built 2 of each?

[@alexknj1]

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

[@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?

[@zarchblarch2490]

I really like your new humor

[@drowningdragon2529]

Why does Spinneret have the same axe as widow?

[@jotreuil]

You've got my vote

[@relaxless9301]

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

[@adeonevans9842]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@joshebersole6913]

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

[@roblox_bedwars_content]

M1NDxBEND3R you've got to do more creepy arachnid transformers - you were really good at Phobia and the Fang Gang! PS please may you do a squad of autobot arachnids that combine?!

[@rubyvergouwen]

Ever heard of Mixels? They (sadly) have a Fang Gang too... And before you did... Sorry...

[@deetay59]

I have a question are you're autobots and Decepticons still lead by Optimus prime and megatron or are they lead by different characters

[@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

[@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.

[@backyardshenanagins1720]

Phobias that con who if there wasn't a war, anybody could get along with her. Also I feel Phobia respects her oponents considering how she is with cons. I'd think she would be like that, but then again it's whatever mindbender makes it to be.

[@Randomizer903]

I loved the montage! BTW, is Phobia 2.0 still Widow's sister? If so, I wonder how the groups would interact.

[@justinvaught7873]

Aha there dead that was funny and the vid was really cool I really liked learning about there ability's but um have you made arachnid from the show transformers prime?

[@Amaterasu-wh6xj]

I really like this color scheme

[@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

[@janka4820]

can't wait to vote for you

[@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 ^^

[@eyobwalid2332]

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

[@thecreator6959]

I like how Chile he is about the raptors

[@nicholasmckelvey3823]

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

[@endobro-ym9vv]

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

[@potentpotassium5776]

Whats with the giraffes? (Genuine Question)

[@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)

[@thatboikaiser2790]

I have an idea for a story that will link the Fang Gang and the S.W.A.T. Team, here it is: A Long Time Ago... Back in Cybertron... Phobia and Widow were sisters and both of them were originally Decepticons until Widow saw what Megatron saw what he really had in mind so she went to become an Autobot but almost no Autobot trusted her because they thought she was a spy so Widow was all sad and she missed her sister so much and all that stuff but then Mantid came along and said "Hey wanna the S.W.A.T. Team?" and thinking that this would be the only company that she would have as an Autobot she said yes to Mantid and since she was born a Decepticon, Mantid decided to make her an assasin and when Phobia heard of this she became extremely mad and so she made the Fang Gang so that when the time came that she would face her sister she would not be alone, but she almost track of her goal when she recruited her first member, Spinneret. Since Phobia saw that she was just an innocent spider and not wanting to get rid of Spinneret's personality, Phobia forgot about her sister and the rest is history Oh yeah, Widow killed the Raptors during her first encounter with Phobia as an Autobot

[@TheOddsoxxgirl]

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

[@zarchblarch2490]

Omg the best friend montage killed me

[@mr.zenitsu4356]

Out of all the things you had to hate it had to be giraffes!

[@natalierivelli5270]

Did you say I hope you like snow?! I'm from Northern New York and I have seen enough snow! But... it's your channel anyway so... build whatever the heck you want, I guess.

[@M1NDxBEND3R]

I'm from Minnesota so I'm right there with you.

[@seandecool6958]

the fang gang? dah ha ha ha omg 😂 that name was also for the mixels XD

[@impastanoodle3887]

I love the best friends montage lol

[@ananomaly3346]

NOT DA GIRAFFES!!!!! Btw phobia would have killed crosspunch for her “dogs”

[@majorbucky5727]

Their heads look like CCTV cameras and I can't get over it

[@hakai9196]

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

[@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.

[@boowundah1666]

you're the man Mindbender!!!!
