G1 Aint All Bad Y’know | #transformers G1 Toys Extravaganza Review

[@andrewhobart96]

I just wanted to say thank you for this. Andrew was my best friend, and he would have loved knowing he had this kind of impact. We used to watch your videos, and he always spoke highly of you. This meant a lot to his family to see the people he reached.

[@swfswf50]

Thanks Andrew

[@ThePuff18]

Give this man a metal of honor. Somewhere up there, Andrew is seated right next to my main man, Jeezy C.

[@ThatToyGuy]

He used to talk about you a lot, even would call us Andrew by accident thinking he was talking to you. He was such a knowledgeable and passionate individual and he'll be missed by all.

Blitzwing cockpit being up front was a mistake by the cartoon animators. The cockpit was always meant to be hidden.

[@Rocket1377]

They also mistransformed him. The jet cockpit is supposed to be at the rear of the tank.

[@jasonrhome710]

I'd honestly recommend getting either some of the new Dianauts, or the ones that Vecma released, if you have a few of the properly scaled Diaclone remakes. It's kinda fun adding the figures into the vehicles and base modes. (And the articulation on those newer, little dudes is INSANE.)

[@S0n0fG0D]

I have an original g1 hotrod and he's a blast to transform, super fun. I wish a third party or Hasbro came up with g1 transformers who look like the original figures but with more articulation. Mine even has the leg stickers, suck it nerd. If you're careful with the stickers and don't slide the legs like a maniac, the stickers stay on perfectly.

[@TFN_Araque]

I never met Andrew, but I just wanted to say that I’m sorry about what happened, and that may he rest in peace

[@TheFridster]

Rest in Peace Andrew. Till all are one

[@visionhawk4403]

I love seeing the original look of Ratchet, despite how weird he looks. I had Ironhide as a kid and I was disappointed when I transformed him. But seeing him like that again brings all the nostalgia back!

[@TeamDiamondTD]

We've lost a great person...Rest In Peace Andrew

[@treebotreviews]

Gonna miss that guy. Just met him because of you. Thanks for bein a friend Andrew.

[@Ascendedninja6]

I started collecting G1 figures a few months ago and they feel high quality compared to the newer toys, at least the figures I bought feel really good with the diecast on them. Just bought a G1 Metroplex with the rubber wheels, out of box, complete with box, plastic isn't yellowing, but no stickers. So far it's my crown jewel. Trying to find a G1 Trypticon, but that thing is even more expensive than what I paid for Metroplex.

[@xevious1538]

I have been collecting reissues and knockoffs of G1 Transformers. And there is something charming about their simplicity and I like the cbrome and die cast metal parts. I actually prefer the G1 dinobot toys to the modern ones that try to make them cartoon accurate. Dinobots, Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Soundwave, Blitzwing are G1 toys that I own that I really like.

[@G2_Convoy]

6:19 the bit about kohl’s is insane to me. It’s a bookstore, a grocery store? In the US it’s a clothing store lmao

[@fennekin1750]

I never knew Andrew Sorohan, but he sounds cool and he should Rest in Peace.

[@Drclark1954]

I actually have a G1 toy and it’s a soundwave. I wasn’t born around that time, but I managed to find this.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

We've lost a walking Transformers encyclopaedia who'll surely be missed. 'Til all are one!

[@TheTurnipKing]

Actually, the G1 transformers toys are genuinely great toys, and it's a shame we don't see the commemorative series on the shelves much these days. Maybe not the most fiction accurate representations of the characters, sure, but solid, chunky, robust and fun.

[@visionhawk4403]

Tracks to me looks like more of a 77 or 78 Corvette but he's supposed to be an 82 Corvette. The early 80s Corvettes had steeper curves over on the fenders going over the wheels.

[@whydopeoplelovefoxy2051]

I had a teacher that had that Corvette along time ago and it blew up but I also like it

[@Moobeus]

G1 sideswipe is an amazing G1 my personal favourite. To an untrained eye his countach mode could pass for a hot wheels. He also has an almost perfect robot mode and an extremely detailed head for the time. Extremely satisfying transformation too it is almost like a fidget toy going back and forth.

[@tilin1452]

"This toy is made for adult collectors because this toys are old as heck"

[@jacobcastile2988]

Hi that toy guy

[@Turbo.RF4]

4:28 As a car enthusiast who has a pretty sizeable knowledge about cars, One my guesses on why your dad hates the 80's corvette's is probably due to how PATHETIC that era of corvette's were. Cheap quality, Terrible styling for the time, bad laughing stock of an engine, terrible experience overall. Just doesn't deserve the corvette name. The styling is amazing, i agree with you, the C3 corvette styling just screams 80's. But there TERRIBLE overall aside from the amazing styling. You could get one back in the day for 5000$.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

Dispite being born in the 2000's, I usually thought some Minibots' like Cliffjumper and Huffer's vehicle modes were cool in that era imo.

[@JimmyHauser]

If you look at G1 TFs as an adult, most of them fail pretty bad. But when you look at them through nostalgic rose colored glasses, they are some of the best toys ever made. I could dump my entire CHUG, MPs, Figuarts, Star Wars, and everything else. My G1 TF collection would be the very last thing I would give up.

[@Rocket1377]

I would still say they are amazing toys, even without looking at them with a nostalgia lens. You have to compare them to other toys from their era, and take their age into account. It's unfair to put a 40 year old toy next to a modern toy and expect the older one to hold up. For the time they were made, the originals are amazing, and you don't need to have grown up with them to see that.

[@Under_Dawg22108]

See this right here. This warms my heart. Getting to see people who have come together around this fandom about some chunks of plastic that flip around from robots to whatever else. The fact that these little things can be a catalyst for such strong friendships and inspiration is just amazing

[@caelusprime5278]

I never knew Andrew Sorohan, but I did enjoy looking at the concept art he made and I do hope his memory is honored in some way. I honestly have nothing to give but my condolences to his family.

[@jaybeematthewbacarro9001]

Rest in peace Andrew. The time I chatted with him on the server will forever be cherished.

[@TonyDelicious]

As an older collector, G1 as in was the first generation of kids in the 80's to experience this amazing phenomenon, it warms my heart seeing younger fans like yourself take the franchise forward while being a part of the original community of fans also forming lasting friendships. He will live on with us through his art and all that knew him. Every time you look at a G1 toy you'll remember him and that's timeless. His designs are amazing and maybe some insane toy maker that saw your vid will take up that offer... Til all are one, brother.

[@TheMorosequasar]

My father recently passed away also in an unexpected way. He also loved Transformers and really liked Andrew's art so to get this news... damn, it really hits you. But to end on a positive note, I believe that a good way to honor their memory is by carrying on with their hobbies and to cherish all the good memories you had with them. May they rest in peace, all finally as one. Awesome video mate!

[@luisalfonsocecilio7374]

Condolences for your dad

[@kempumara]

I never knew Andrew but I’ve always respected and admired his work, he was a legitimately creative guy, it seemed he could make anything work, it’s legitimately admirable, I don’t think anyone in the TF community will ever replicate the creativity he had

[@jupiterlair4968]

I gonna miss Andrew, he was always drawing interesting and creative concepts for toys and those background chars. from the g1 cartoon, he was 1 on a million :(

[@kasimirmaser99]

I actually think that G1 Blitzwing is still the best version of that character. Also, I loved the G1 Ratchet and Ironhide toys back in the day, and I still do, no matter the weirdness.

We have a tribute to Andrew in this review and Perspective End's review today. I don't know anything about the guy, but seems like he had quite an impact on the community. RIP.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Never knew Andrew, but having a friend to actually go one on with about childhood hobbies is one of the most precious attributes a person can attribute to this world. Everyone should have a friend like him. Not big into G1 collecting but I appreciate the chrome/rubber wheels on a lot of the early era toys. The Mircrobots are awesome. I have that Warpath, Brawn, Gears, and a G2 era Bumblebee.

[@imjustvicx_x9724]

I can't say i knew him well or was close to him, but from the few conversations I've had with him he seemed like a great guy, he will be missed by many and my best wishes to his friends and family

[@Piece-O-Pie]

Very nice! It's cool to see a video like this by someone who appreciates the G1 line for what it is: fun toys!

[@richards2936]

Warpath was always my favourite Mini Autobot when I was a kid. I love that you can transform him in about 2 seconds. Had to get him again when I saw him at a convention...

[@rigelc.hoffman2496]

Same, I genuinely want G1 Blitzwing, love the diagonal shapes and flips he has, like plastic origami. R.I.P. Andrew

[@matthewdoyle3628]

Now in my 40's I find the original Season 1 and 2 toys to be classic and something to appreciate as display pieces on the shelf, post movie toys not as much. As toys to play with due to a lack of articulation they weren't great. However despite the vast improvement with modern Transformers Hasbro's distribution sucks. If you're a UK Collector then most of your collection is going to be imports.

[@deralfandzillaGaming]

I just realized why does the legacy blitzwing's tank mode has a dong from the first place

[@animeking1357]

What are you talking about with Hot Rod stopping time? I feel like the only G1 toys I want are Optimus and Astrotrain. Everything else just looks bad to me. Ratchet case in point. Hot Rod doesn't look too bad though.

[@ellathegoldenpup-14_.25]

May that honorable Andrew R.I.P. I have a few G1 figures, but most of them aren't in the best of shape: some I got at yardsales, and others from like eBay and Amazon, so yeah, when I mean eBay I mean I'm talking about like a used figure of G1 Blitzwing or rare in package Scattershot, from G1 S6 or even a first edition of G1 GoldBug, very rare, with no weapons no nothin, but I recently got a Perfectly New In Package G1 Hot Rod at Walmart for like 10$ and it was on clearance, so go figure that out, which many Walmarts are doing that "Put things on Clearance, to waste Shelf space and take your money!" Gig. But that's not why I bought it, I bought it for my collection of Antique Toys, and my collection is somewhat growing, one would say that, if you will but not the way I would hope some of you would be thinking that I would be, bc I'm just a collector of many things, and plus I have a day/night job wrapped on my paws, and it's called saving the world; with my team of Pups. I'm Ella and I've Gotta Think BIG!!!!!!!!!

[@mrenderguy3431]

Hey if you got that blitzwing off of eBay There are reissues of the g1 design but it could be a knock off and the hands could be hard to get out and the right leg

[@thedaddyspider]

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

"G1 Ain't All Bad Y'know"..?? Well, alright.. I guess I should confess for Andrew's sake since I haven't heard of him until now and was sad when I heard he passed away, I did love his artwork of Armada and Cybertron characters that I saw online like Armada Kickback and Energon/Cybertron Nightscream.😢 I don't hate G1, I just never grew up with it because the problem I have with the series was it's elitists always making fun of me for having different preferences that I first got into and grew up with like my favorite guilty pleasures,Beast Wars,Cybertron (2005) and the 2007 movie, like seriously It's like there's a rule in the TF Fandom that says "In order to become a REAL Transformers fan, you have to get into G1 only and nothing else", I get that G1 came first but like what everyone else always says "That's just me". Then again, some of the Minibots like Warpath and Pipes,Micromasters,Pretenders,Beast Wars,WFC Trilogies, and Dinobots were what I liked about G1 lol.

[@TheSeventhDeadlyMatador]

G1 toys for me have always been fun desk bots, while they do show their age for me the fun has always been transforming them although I will admit some have some impressive bot modes for their time. Even though I was born in the early 2000s G1 always had my favorite look and the show while simplistic was good fun (Well until the 86 movie LOL). While I don't know much about your friend I do wish him a peaceful rest and happy he influenced you to enjoy some of these figures. Cheers!

[@Smgk551]

At least we needed these cool Ironchet thingy its so cool

[@bottlecap7533]

I remember hanging out with Andrew a few times, the first time was for several hours while he drew different Optimus decos. What a guy, that man. I had no idea he passed because I haven't been around the discord that much but oh my God will I miss him and his gorgeous art. Til all are one, homie. Til all are one

Tracks probably had a flight mode because the decepticons had more flyers and the Autobots needed some more air power.

I'm really sorry you've lost your friend buddy. It's a very deep pain, and it'll come and go in intensity. It'll hurt less over time, but then you'll one day randomly see something and be like "I wonder if >>> knows about thi... oh... damn." and it'll hurt again. Growing up means, you lose people more and more, and it always sucks. It hurts, and I'm sorry. We ALL have experienced loss, and can all relate, and hopefully comfort each other. It's good for me, to think about the times we laughed together, or when I was made fun of by, or I made fun of whoever I'm missing that particular day. Just have a laugh for them, and say a quick "miss you my guy" and go on with your day. They don't want us sitting around having a bad day at their expense ya know? Much love man, so sorry.
