Armada Demolishor (Random Review)

[@NerdRahtio]

"Poor literacy is more easily trademarked" Is qoute worthy and t-shirt worthy, especially if you misspell trademarked !

[@minestrosityprime9682]

Thank Linkara

[@stoffhimel]

he is a self propelled anti air battery. missile based, by the looks of it.

[@LUNITICWILL]

his vehicle mode is a "Mobile Missile Turret"

[@chriscarpenter3370]

translated: tank

[@fallout0624]

I literally have been transforming him wrong since I got him at 5, I never knew you were supposed to turn the legs around.

[@AS42100]

Honestly I just recently realized that recently. I didn't know I was supposed to either until I looked again at his animation model. lol

[@KevinGallion]

At 16:30 or right around in there you said it. When I learned he only had the one launcher I bought a second one and took them apart to get two of those since with how his arms were, didnt matter what side they were on they looked exactly the same so I had two launchers and 8 missles. Made it easy to fire one and hunt ugnaughts with it xD

[@DatHarlequinOni]

Honestly my favorite armada toy. In a line full of compromises for gimmicks, he turned out really well.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

I still have my Armada Demolisher. He gets the job done.

[@Kirbyman1223]

So do I :)

[@Chaosdude7111]

I have this toy, and it is one of the few who survived completely intact from my youth! Can't find the minicon or the missiles, but it's a cool toy.

[@babysinclairfan]

The instructions actually referred to the right arm as "missile storage" so at least they knew it was weird.

[@WaveSineReverse]

This is one of the first Transformers toys I remember owning. Still have it, missing two missiles and with some paint wear, and some damage on Blackout. Not an amazing toy by modern standards, but far and away better than a lot of his Armada peers.

[@lekanraposte6732]

Demolishor is a mobile weapon platform. Anyway, I LOVE the toy, and I LOVE the character. Defenitely my favorite Armada character.

[@Spike-Prime]

+Le Kanraposte More closely modelled after anti-aircrift tanks actually.

[@babysinclairfan]

Demolishor's face sculpt is awesome. Transformers are rarely so expressive looking.

[@Jimboliah3985]

YES!!! ^w^ Oh, and he's an anti-aircraft tank. You decide if he's alien or futuristic.

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

Thanks again for selling me this guy, TJ. I have just filmed my own review for him this afternoon. Best of luck for the future.

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

Wait a second...tank mode, deployer gimmick, hyperloyalty personality...This is just Soundwave crossed with Brawl!

[@ValTek_Armory]

I had this toy as a kid. I always thought he looked like a tank from Metal Slug

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

Hey TJ, I just bought that Demolishor off your eBay page. Can't wait for it to arrive in England so I can put it with my Energon Cyclonus and Tidal Wave figures...

[@tfrwldnas9725]

Your actually reviewing a toy that I have for once!!! as for the huge hips, I like to think that hes wearing baggy combat pants!!

[@AustinBitikofer]

nice imagination! I thought of that myself! Actually a cool design idea

[@shadowdarkness2345]

tfrWLDNAS mcdonalds toy that has good articulation i think o had that one

[@scraberdash4286]

tfrWLDNAS heavy armour?

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

That's exactly what Runescape228 said in his review...

[@Straswa]

Great review! Thanks for covering another Armada figure.

[@snowiandsnowball123]

In micron legend (aka the Japanese and original version of amada) demolishor is actually called Ironhide for those who don't know

[@dexterthoma867]

And I was going to ask you to do defense force scattershot

[@AustinBitikofer]

Both Cybertron Scattorshots XD

[@dexterthoma867]

That would be nice if he has both but I would settle with the one no matter what he decides

[@DARREVIEWS77]

The only reason for that storage spot/ejection port on Demolishor was because all the decepticons had to have some way of storing the minicon when they wernt using them for their action feature just look at taidal wave, optumus, cyclonus and megatron.

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

It’s weird… I remember owning this toy. And yet, it came out long after I stopped collecting TF.

[@megas2468]

I like my repaint ver of him from the Energon line, Green, purple, black and grey. He is a good figure and i like him.

[@kamencj]

i had the energon version of this toy, and i always assumed that the embankment mode was more for use on a cliff where he could anchor himselfand get a better angle to fire missles from. i also imagined it as a SPIDER walker. yeah. i was dumb

[@VirtueCelica94]

My first ever Armada figure. I still keep Blackout on my desk to this day.

[@obotprime339]

I'm definitely getting this guy.

[@BubblesTheBard]

TJ! I have a challenge for you! The weirdest, most bizarre Japanese Transformer in your collection!

[@skoiloine5809]

1:00 NO. He is an Anti-Air vehicle with TEN MACHINE GUNS slapped onto the GIANT DOUBLE-BARRELED *CANNONS!*

[@RKStrikerJK5]

Although a bit limited in articulation, overall I really like him. He's on my shelves right next to my PC. *Pulls off shelf and plays with him*

[@likeits1985]

"Tank" you very much for this review...I've really been enjoying these Random Reviews/

[@likeits1985]

kill me my name is zane nieto The question is, Why not?

[@Daltinian95]

i got a kick out of that ketchup bottle statement, i loved this figure when i was younger always loved the "tank" mode

[@Magikknight76]

Great review!!! I never owned this as I wasn't collecting during the Armada days. But I absolutely love the look of him and his Energon repaint. BTW great I'll form the head Voltron reference weather intentional or not. Keep up the great reviews.

[@KRiderMan1248]

Well tanks for the reviews

[@shinigamainako8663]

Finally I get to hear your opinion on the first Transformer I ever owned. If you own it could you review Armada Megatron?

[@jackpotter1990]

you can make him look like a metal gear take by halfway transforming his legs only,but leaving them slanted a bit

[@django60617]

review his repaint next!

[@1cioda]

I'm pretty sure this is some kind of Anti Air craft tank. I'm near 100% sure i've seen something like this in advance wars

[@frelisseK]

TJ, Use a soft used toothbrush to get rid of the dust in all the nooks and crannies!

[@HistoMagouri]

I STILL HAVE THIS TOY OH MY GOSH BEING A KID = GOOD TIMES

[@FortressMunkimus1985]

I wouldn't mind seeing a classic version of this guy. Not that he really needs one.

[@mini-conlongarm8021]

Fall of Cybertron Optimus remold?

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

The Random Reviews have been great! While I loathed the A/E/C years (with a few exceptions), your info and commentary on them is interesting. Suggestion: under-appreciated Beast Wars figure?

[@joeyellison4211]

Megatron: Demolisher what does your scouter say about his minicon? Demolisher: It's over 9000!

[@mini-conlongarm8021]

Megatron: 9000?! That cannot be right, you fool!

[@joeyellison4211]

Nice LA W​

[@LoggotyroX33]

Someone has probably pointed it out, but Demolishor is most likely supposed to be a SPAAG (Self-propelled anti-air gun) like the Russian 2K22 "Tunguska" or the like (German "Gepard" and so on). If you look at a picture of a Tunguska there are several similarities. It has missiles but also autocannons just like Demolishor. Though Demolishor looks like it could be a Cybertronian SPAAG if anything, because it certainly does not resemble any vehicle on earth. The chassis itself does bear some likeness to the T-55 though.

[@frederickgrandison3609]

Demolisher, let's go with that.

[@Fluffkitscripts]

Demolishor is a simple program. {if[see-autobot]then[explodecityblock]}. Still, you can’t argue with the decepticon annual performance review.

[@Slayerthecrow]

well, you can try to review a boat transformer if there is one out there that you didn't review yet

[@SlurpeeTheUnholy]

Slayerthecrow Did he already review Cybertron Thunderblast?

[@UndeadCoyote32]

He hasn't reviewed Energon Mirage yet, so he could!

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

Slayerthecrow well He did do Tidal Wave

[@swipetv1261]

Nemesis Prime I don't think Tidal Wave counts as a boat

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

Swipe TV Well He's part Destroyer, part Aircraft carrier and part something else which are all boats

[@Nidrog]

I always thought of as Demolishor as a AA tank of some kind.

[@peradolia]

I'm pretty sure he's an AA tank, that explains the giant guns

[@timprimetal5380]

He's a prototype ADATS (Air-Defence Anti-Tank System), but with the H Tank theme going on in the front, and oversized missiles. Just look up "ADATS" on Google images :3 (Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I've lived 12 years of my life not knowing what the heck he is, and I just found out like 2 months ago.)

[@Carsman-oi8st]

Appearently his design is based off of the ADATS weapon system, an unmanned anti-air anti-tank machine

[@FPrimusUnicron]

do you remember those german army uniforms with puffy pants and thight black boots? and such? well its design reminds me of those

[@ishmaelishmael2789]

FPrimusUnicron Jodhpurs. And yeah, good catch- that had to have been intentional.

[@nucleonegro9762]

This guy looks like a soldier robot, btw, i think they were planning a double shoulder missle launcher but they rejected the idea to save money

[@sylviapedroza1451]

Funny, I have the Energy repaint of this figure and his shoulder can go past the point you showed

[@Fuzzball629]

I want to see you review some of the exclusives you got back when you went to Botcon. Also interesting your birthday is 7 days before mine. I'll be sure to get you a gift.

[@ThemmeFataleKiva]

I wonder if the Mini-Con still attaches to the launcher area in robot mode. XD

[@panbat2367]

I wonder if t.j has watched linkara.....

[@TJOmega]

Jack Hedrick Yup. Actually if you watch his first Lord Vyse ark of episodes, the damaged Mechakara hand prop was my creation.

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

So... anyone else see this figure and think "That could be a nice Autobot Flame." No? Well when you're looking for potential, obscure repaints but you've only learned of the character via the TF Wiki, you come up with these things. XD

[@xaphanwarico9313]

he is probably actually a mobile anti aircraft unit rather than a tank. look up the PGZ95 and imagine an over the top version of that with STA missles

[@jetseekers]

He is either a Sam launcher or an A A or AAA mobile platform.

[@tylertownsend6931]

Tank form Crome hounds?

[@robolord117]

What is the best repaint of Armada "Demolishor"?

[@todddavis2041]

Far as I'm concerned its the Powerlinx version (the 1st of 3 Hasbro repaints) released in the Unicron Battles, well that's what I have, I only got it last year off TF Source & I love the figure!

[@ishmaelishmael2789]

I like his face and alt mode because they feel very G2 comic/Derek Yaniger in design.

[@WingMaster562]

All those warheads shoot out lasers in the cartoons

[@haoscontestir]

TJOmega you should review a good shell former

[@evantw-xl8kj]

Take a drink every time he says equation

[@RodimusMinor1987]

Please review a classics Triple Changer. I would love this to get a classics figure.

[@viperdragon29]

FINALLY!! I found his name! I've always wanted to find out what this guy's name was!

[@Micthed1c]

what about third party? like fansproject protector or any of the others (outside of hercules and feral rex) that you own? or at least a video on your opinion on third party toys and their ip infringement?

[@cubesolver64]

Please do Armada Scavenger.

[@BIGH1001]

cubesolver64 that thing is trash. i had it. too gimmicky

[@woodknight9lr]

I had that as well and I lost all the missiles

[@KerzacTransformed]

DARKBLADE91696 LR I'm missing two

[@yincka]

Same here

[@Nickster891]

now that i think about it did he even scan an earth mode he's never shown doing it on the show

[@RialVestro]

***** Megatron, Starscream, Cyclonus, and Demolishor's vehicle modes were all scanned by the ships computer on their moon base in the second episode. If you look at the animation model from before they got their Earth modes Demolishor is missing his shoulder cannons though there are clearly holes in his shoulders where they should be stored. His treads are missing. And He actually has proper hands. Oddly enough the cartoon actually did animate him with three fingers and two thumbs for most of the series except for that first episode. The cartoon tended to do that for all the characters pre-Earth modes. They all retain the same basic shape but anything which was clearly a part of their vehicle mode was missing from the Animation model. Tires/treads being the most common. Starscream was also missing his wings. The character who was the most changed was Optimus Prime who for some reason looked like RID2001 Optimus Prime before he got an Earth mode... which made me think the series was in the same continuity for the longest time... and also confused me as to why he needed an Earth mode when he already had one.

[@Nickster891]

RialVestro i don't remember that at all

[@RialVestro]

***** Well I do and there's pictures on TFWiki to back it up.

[@Nickster891]

RialVestro wiki's where as relatively accurate aren't always reliable that being said i stand corrected

[@RialVestro]

***** I agree and I wouldn't have mentioned the wiki if they didn't have screen caps from the episodes.

[@machspinbitchproductions973]

Yay!!!!! Demolishor!!!

[@misterbadguy7325]

TFWiki says he's extremely loosely based on the ADATS weapon system.

[@n3wboyzj3rkin]

can you review armada jetfire

[@Fluffkitscripts]

Substitutes for bulky... try “robust” “sturdy” “durable”?

[@frederickgrandison3609]

The Takara version has his face brown rather than black, it's way better in the actual show!, he also has a energon and cybertron repaint.

[@ChrisPrime1bot]

After seeing this video, I'm not so sure if I should sell mine or not. :-/

[@Malicious_Hero]

I always thought he was a variation of an anti aircraft tank.

[@Fluffkitscripts]

How has no one made a Bastion joke yet? What do I keep you people around for?!

[@LordPai]

He's more like a missile platform than a tank

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

I bet somone will get you the book

[@thetakuafan1785]

Y'know that one city that always ruins your view? Yeah, you get rid of it with that alt mode.

[@chanceewingironplos2845]

hey tj maybe you could review something gundam

[@AUTOBOTGJB1997]

Finally I can say it FIRST!!!!!! good review

[@jonsonss]

Hey TJ can you review Armada Sideways?(no i'm not THAT guy)

[@StevenDolce]

I own the Cybertron retool.

[@Bkomm]

he kinda looks more like a mech than a tank to be honest. but It's not a bad form either.

[@MonoEyedNutJob]

more of a futuristic ADATS then a tank

[@squallhighwind]

Not the ketchup bottles! Think of all the sad Pikachus!

[@williamkolt5406]

You remember that episode to

[@ShadowRose224]

Demolishor is an mobile Anti-Aircraft gun

[@dongdynamics]

As DOTM showed us, transformers bleed red, therefore demolishor ran over some autobots after shooting them with every single gun he has

[@kabob0077]

Demolisher is now officially one of the Orkiest Transformers ever.

[@marcusvegas5359]

The tank can be a anti aircraft vehicle

[@theghoul2303]

Hey can you do Cybertron mertoplex please hey first big transfromer I ever owned

[@klunk279]

TANK!TANK!TANK!

[@mechanwhal6590]

I found one at an antique store, but he was missing a missile. I ended up passing on him…

[@Gmanunit13vers2]

reviews both armada megatron and galvatron, then energon megatrons tank, just the tank nit the actual figure...

[@frankmarzig1972]

thanks for the tanks, lol

[@DLBot2016]

[@AustinBitikofer]

How about more beasts! I love Beast Wars/Machines/Hunters lol

[@nowaytoisop8776]
