Thew calling Soudwave a Simp is somehow both the most cursed and accurate thing I've ever heard about Soundwave and Megatron's relationship.

[@rolandodr98]

We hate it because it is sooo true but refuse to admit it

[@wakspacific6928]

Simpwave.

[@VVa-ku9eo]

@Ryan Holt Stop, you're violating the law.

[@xaoc1421]

This comment right here officer

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

My first Vlog goes into more detail about that particular controversial topic.

[@jonathonworner360]

Being a tank always brings out the best in Megatron. He was quoted in some comic saying something like "if you're stuck in a room with no way out, transform into something with a giant cannon, and blast yourself an exit hole"

[@QueenStodge]

The newest addition to the Decepticon ranks: Simpwave

[@gushers114]

Wouldn't that just be RID 2001 Sky Byte?

[@QueenStodge]

@@gushers114 Sky Byte isn't a simp

[@gushers114]

@@QueenStodge I may be misremembering, but if I recall correctly, at least in the Japanese version of the show, SB had a pretty hardcore crush on Megatron. Although, like I said, I could be thinking of someone else; the point (or rather joke, really) that I'm making is that there already is a "Desimpticon".

[@TheTruePhantasm]

Simp is an abhorrent term

[@QueenStodge]

@@TheTruePhantasm it's only abhorrent if you are one.

[@shadowscribe]

8:38 I kinda love they did this mold again for the Kingdom show tie-in and a "premium version" and the deco's only gotten worse. The ONLY clean one is the shatter glass edition. Either the design crew is competing to one up each other, they are deliberately trolling Thew.

"Oh Soundwave, you simp." got me to replay that moment like 10 times

[@kylemoylan5339]

This was a BIG AND SERIOUS review. Well done, Thew!

[@ArcNeoMasato]

I'm actually a little bummed you didn't mention the crazy lance mode they did when you shove his sword in the barrel of the fusion cannon. Seems like the kind of thing that would have gotten a bunch more Thewy fun wordplay going. Oh well. Still a REALLY fun figure. And for what it counts, that Netflix one is actually pretty stunning in person thanks to the metallic paint. I was gonna just skip it since I have the original one and the Selects G2 one (Which has the fusion cannon plomped proudly on his shoulder as a proper G2 boi should) but when I saw him in person I just.... couldn't not.

[@nightlypiano4116]

You can do something similar with the Soundwave gun thingy

[@ArcNeoMasato]

@@nightlypiano4116 Sadly, I got really badly QC'd on my Soundwave, so I can't do the giant lance gun. The port on the back of his G1 gun just won't plug onto anything.

[@optimistprime3192]

Having seen Earthrise Megs’s “sword”, I’m just gonna stick with this one. At least Siege’s foldy blades can pull off a sort of railgun look around the second cannon. Despite the mess that the Siege battle splatters can be, I feel that they fit Megatron the best: as a miner-turned-gladiator-turned-warlord (at least according to Aligned lore, I do not yet know his origin according to Netflix), it makes sense that he’d have plenty wear and tear about his chassis. He’s the *BIG AND SERIOUS* leader of the Decepticons, he has more important things to do than buff out all his scratches and dings.

[@yeetusthatfeetus9722]

If Thew kept up Monthly Megatron, then we'd only be seeing Megatron.

[@RED97ghost]

I feel so spoiled. My favorite Transformers reviewer uploading 2 day's in a row! This truly is the best timeline

[@theveryoriginalgamer532]

Oh look, it’s Thew Jackman! (Sorry the hair) Also: I’m wearing a Transformers tee at the time of writing this, so I’m prepared for great night 👍

Everyone getting exited for the siege show and new Earthrise figures Me happily rewatching cybertron and wishing hasbro would use more unicron trilogy designs for new figures.

[@awesomeguy9513]

Kinda wish the galaxy force Optimus in siege came with his matrix key from the show. Just give the key a tab for weapon ports on for him to hold and it feels like galaxy force/cybertron.

[@mechanwhal6590]

*MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY*

[@austinung4710]

That would require hasbro to give effort to UT characters which they don’t lol

[@gushers114]

I feel the same way; I would love for them to update Armada Demolishor. All they'd need to do is give him better articulation.

[@awesomeguy9513]

gushers114 IKR I have the constructicon coloured one and all it needs is a head swivel and some outward shoulder movement and an elbow swivel and this could be added without changing much for the figure

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

I love Siege Megs, also I really enjoyed the Siege show

[@ShinGallon]

I liked Siege Megs alright at first, then I painted his head with the Marvel black helmet/yellow eyes and extra red on the abdomen and now he really pops.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Oh. My. God. FINALLY! Been asking for this for ages! Yours doesn't get stuck when you transform the front and have to slot it over the chest and head does it? Also, the kibble works great as massive Missile Launchers! I'm also first. That's never happened before!

[@Qwanami]

Try keeping the front treads untabbed just a little from the front piece when you do it! It still clashes a bit, but it's a lot better than trying to force things past each other when the whole front is already fully tabbed together :)

[@nuclearcosmos23]

Mine has no problems like that

[@PyrozPlayground]

Dude, I friggin love your reviews! All the puns and the combo words, and the vocabulary, everything just makes my day! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Tailgate009]

I'm just waiting for the next video where Thew had his long locks again

[@ElGordoBandito]

Sooo 4 months in the future I can confirm that little gray gun that comes with Soundwave is for Megatron. The Netflix Soundwave comes with it as well, colored to match the silver Netflix Megatron figure.

[@TheDarthPrime]

Smashing video and informative ad always. I never thought about using soundwaves random gun to use as a g1 accurate piece for megatron!! That's brilliant! I am most impressed! To the drawer with all the bits I don't use!

[@brolyberto]

Thew summoning some real big "Mike Score from A Flock of Seagulls" vibes with that hair style.

[@roonis418]

I hope your happy mr.Thew your getting your G2 megatron the purple and green one you had your fingers crossed for in the earthrise mold from the selects line. And i have to admit he looks good. like i wasn't on board to get the earthrise megatron but the paint job on the G2 one looks amazing. Keep up with the great videos.

[@logangrey377]

I'm gonna be honest, I just got through watching the Netflix series, or the first season anyway, and let me say, they knocked it out of the park in my opinion, great writing, awesome animation, some awesome character arcs, and they even gave more depth to Optimus prime's character, instead of just being the wise, Captain America like, perfect father figure, something rarely seen, if ever, in Transformers movies/tv shows. I'd dare even say that so far this may be the best Transformers series since Prime, or even Beast Wars!

[@Cophonz]

Soundwave's gun-stick can be used by sticking his shoulder launcher and sonic blaster on the ends to make a gladiators-style double ended bonking stick. Now if one would argue that to be a proper use for the accessory or not is another matter... but you can do it!

I was also a bit uncertain about this mould until a little while after I got it, but he is a banger. So much so that I actually also wound up picking up the Netflix version, which I think looks even better... And if you unscrew the sword blade bits and cut the shaft in half, you lose none of functionality, but can also use the blade halves in other places (5mm peg holes FTW), while he carries a nice clean second cannon...
