TRDQ: Gobots Monsterous review

[@leftygurl]

i will never get tired of japanese robot names, devil satan 6 is absolutely top tier nonsense

[@Kjellbot]

i really rather like the Devil Satan Six colours. these guys are almost like a G2 repaint. i do like that they're named like a rock festival lineup, and that they're so unconcerned with looking sharply robotic like Transformers mostly do. the biometal look is very Giger.

[@Kids_Scissors]

I'm sorry but "Heart Attack" is the best character name I've ever heard

[@lekanraposte6732]

I have Puzzler and he's great. This monster team is one of my grail. Rare and expensive.

[@jasonrhome710]

I had Puzzler, and if he ever shows up in the Machine Robo reissues I may have to get a second job.

[@markrobinsontraining]

Never thought about taking you for a steak dinner but I would take a Repugnus or two because they wouldn't eat much and I could finish their chips.

[@TRDQ]

You'd be VERY SURPRISED

[@robotlorekeeper9880]

I spotted this guy on the shelf in another video and immediately gasped and went “is that bloody Monsterous??” I’d never seen him before in my life, only heard the name. I had to go and and look him up after the video. I was just so convinced by one look that if anything was monsterous, THIS was. What a name, what a design. I’m stuck in bed with a cold so thanks for the major shock of Gobot-itude!

[@TransmitHim]

I love how Weirdwing looks like he's just flown into the rest of the combined form and has become an arm simply because he can't get free.

[@darkangel076]

"...well...ok, I guess I'm an arm now." *deep sigh*

[@kamenrideraquarius]

Petition hasbro to bring both this guy and black Satan to the comics or a cartoon

[@tomjames9681]

Trust Gavin to give us a video that feels like some event in… just… the middle of November? What a crazy bunch the team Devil Satan 6 are!

[@RetroRobotRadio]

The actual original name to the set was Devil Saturn 6. This is a parody of the Japanese combiner team name God Mars 5. The team's name was later Americanized to Devil Satan 6.

[@wou5.09]

Well, it's more like six god combiner god mars vs six demon combination devil saturn 6

[@RetroRobotRadio]

If you research a lot of late Machine Robo figures they use some absolutely metal names for that weapons. For instance one of the rock Lord figures weapons is called The Reaper in the US, in Japan it is called the Atomic Death Fork.

[@rmk8257]

Managed to find a complete version of this guy on eBay for a decent price, and I am completely obsessed. The design is just so fun and their weird little faces crack me up. They all look so thrilled to be part of an evil combiner. Thank you for alerting me to the existence of this wonderful big lad!

[@daverage4729]

I know the Gobots get some stick sometimes but damn if they didn't have some of the coolest names....Gore Jaw, South Claw...Why hasn't someone stolen these names for their metal band?

[@dyemooch]

My love for you, Gavin, is Monsterous.

[@TRDQ]

Thank you Josh this means the WORLD

[@MellowGaming]

Love a monster themed combiner. Didn't realise Go-Bots even had combiners until recently. Who owns them now? Where's our modern versions at affordable prices?

[@joserobertosolismerlin5527]

Tecnically Hasbro

[@SuperMookles]

Our patience has been amply rewarded. Another pithy review with lashings of dour Scots wit.

[@YuanMekong]

Oh wow, this takes me back. I had the head and torso lads back in the day, never managed to get the whole set.

[@SlimeBeast-xp7xf]

I love how devil Satan 6 already makes no sense

[@oyonan]

My grandpa got me this set for Xmas in 88. I really liked it, but it wasn’t very good for holding weapons or anything. I don’t remember the joints beating very tight even new. He always seemed pretty shaky to me and prone to be knocked over. I lived the sculpts though, and even the painted screws. I thought that was a neat feature as a kid. I could never find any info on him as I got older, and nobody else had even heard of it. I lost three of them within a couple years, and had a one or two left for a long time. I think I included them as free gifts to people who bought transformers off me on ebay back in 98 or 99. I’ve always wanted to pick up another set

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

Coffee, GGH, this, then Caravan of Garbage...nice. Fuck the housework.

[@misterdarwin]

Ever in New York I'd love to take Repugnus for a steak dinner. I guess you could tag along too.

[@HiperPivociarz]

I think it helps that the alt modes for these guys clearly have parts meant for them. Like the jet guy looks like a jet, unlike The Fallen from ROTF, where he is just a pile of metal shit in the shape of a jet. Which is why simplicty is best.

[@ReverendDexter]

Hey, you make it halfway across the world (and it's close enough to payday) and I'll happily take you out for a steak dinner.

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

The shape of the high waist and extra long legs reminds me a lot of the Combiner Wars combiners we just got.

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Love these guys, they look like a bunch of party animals.

[@zafool4997]

Let’s pension to Hasbro to get a Generations version for this!

[@joshuachristian5443]

So about that stake dinner...this comming Tuesday work? Bring the toy too.

[@Thunder_135]

Nice always improves my mood whenever you upload

[@mechanwhal6590]

Gotta love the inexplicably orange screws.

[@Psientologist]

Definitely thought about taking you out for a steak dinner.

[@segadriven]

The Geshcast synth drum hits are BACK

[@FaceForward]

I've admittedly never wanted to take you out for a steak dinner before, but I'll be damned if there's nothing in the world I'd rather do now

[@TRDQ]

PROVE IT

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I never figured out exactly why but in the US and European releases of this set they swapped the names of the arms.

[@andrewbeltran1566]

return of the DOOF sound effect 🤘

[@TRDQ]

Thank you for noticing, chief medical officer

[@chromezeta]

I love this video, I was cracking up the whole time. 😂

[@TFormers2002]

If I lived near you I would definitely take you on that steak dinner. Alas we are many miles apart.

[@murdermusprime7065]

This combiner needs a 3rd party upgrade. It's awesome and deserves one.

[@murdermusprime7065]

3rd Party needs to do a updated version of this combiner.

[@somerelativleyuninterestin4763]

0:03 bruh that one on the right looks like my dad

[@TRDQ]

IT IS

[@sebastianpedrozadesantos9078]

I remember reading about them in a prose story form Beast Wars: Uprising. I absolutely want them now.

[@g_oduofthenorth9618]

Man, all of us across the pond'll need to get up bright and early to catch this one.

[@g_oduofthenorth9618]

That being said, it'll still be on after it comes out.... how am I still not used to things not being on cable at this point?

[@barnabus7851]

I'm sorry, I couldn't finish the video. These boys are too spooky!

[@harlanPerry]

This is awesome to see since I don't know many Gobots characters.

[@Badwolfwho1]

DEVIL SATAN SIX! I was eating soup while watching this and I literally did a spittake at the name Heart Attack but Weirdwing is also very strong. I love Monsterous' face its great

[@CaptainRufus]

I'm happy to have all 3 Gobot Combiner teams, 2 of which were misb and cheap circa 2001 when nobody cared. Sadly this video is the one I had to get loose but its still great. (Ok one of the teams is basically a suit of 4 armors and a jet. Close enough. Plus its named Grungy.)

[@elblekqet]

🤘👺👺🤘 that is a very metal combiner

[@XCATX25]

it does sound bad to write down "I can give ya some steak if you so wish"

[@TRDQ]

nope!

[@meganura1559]

Some of the details on fright face remind me of Baltan from Ultraman

[@Alzeal07]

can't wait!

[@HiperPivociarz]

I can't afford a stake dinner, how about a nice lunch at McDonald's?

[@TRDQ]

I'LL TAKE IT

[@thedeadpoolwhochuckles.6852]

i have Puzzler, and i love it!

[@talljoke]

Also I wouldn't be against taking you to a steak dinner.

[@TRDQ]

Prove it!

[@dogrobot9933]

Some of these guys names could be used for metal bands, if they haven't been used already.

[@Dualbladedscorpion7737]

Imagine these guys getting the WFC/ Legacy weaponizer treatment, Like the power dashers.

[@Acidonia150reborn]

I have a few of These and Two Gore Jaw but one is Dark Green and the Other is Blue for some reason.

[@mariodude345]

lets go for a steak dinner Gavin

[@TRDQ]

agreed

[@lorcannagle]

I will never stop wasting your time in the comments. Do you hear me? NEVER!

[@originaluddite]

Yes Devil Satan Six sounds metal but only if metal used the naming conventions of 50s-60s bands like the Dave Clark Five. :)

[@jerardocontreras1572]

Steak dinner yes

[@batangbatugan]

They should've named him FRIGHT FANGS GORE SOUTH WEIRD HEART or... FFGSWH

[@pilotraptor64]

I lost them all except the pink one.

[@Chord_]

... I'm definitely crazy for thinking these lads were any inspiration for the Pretender Monsters a couple years later, right?

[@gavinmerrifield9213]

Has Phil suggested this is a proto-Predaking or Lio Kaiser yet??

I love this... I have a question... what is a good price for each of these? They seem about £20 each. I've no idea if that's low, high or right.

[@TRDQ]

It's tough as I got a good deal for mine on eBay a while back - 80 for the lot. Keep checking on the 'sold' prices for a good idea of what they're generally going for?

[@TRDQ]

NEVER GIVE UP

[@mckmitte]

Is there a good way to fix the floppiness of gobots? They’re such great toys but so many of them can barely stand anymore

[@TRDQ]

NO, YOU'RE FUCKED

[@misterbadguy7325]

In seriousness, the first way to fix floppy joints on toys is to buy some floor polish, coat the figure's joints in it so that it seeps into any place where friction is happening, and then let it dry. Other substances work - clear nail polish is pretty effective, and I've used superglue and gotten good results - but floor polish is the safest.

[@DanielThomasHutton]

I would love to own this set, I'd like a rerelease but it would probably cost a fucking fortune so I wouldn't buy it. Fucking house is full shite as it is.

[@MrPooPooJohn]

I wish more combiners....combined like this. I never bought a single combiner that came with separate black plastic hands and those mentally challenged gun feet things... I don’t like parts formers and especially can’t excuse them when the head, Hands, feet and 10 other “parts” of the robot need to be separately assembled. It’s really an issue for me. Like it actually puts me in a bad mood for hours after looking at one. This guy, as goofy as he is, doesn’t have ANY of that. I’d take him over Bruticus or any of the other two toed “gun feet” idiots.

[@SuperMookles]

For the love of God, hurry up.

[@GR-ic7mt]

Hey I thought go bots weren't allowed to look cool what the hell
