TRDQ: Transformers Generation 1 - Micromasters - Anti-Aircraft base Review

[@leftygurl]

the colours are giving bludgeon vibes, which is now making me want a bludgeon with a base mode to come full circle about it.

[@evlynm]

I thought the same! :D

[@Theover4000]

As a military guy it’s fun to see how toy designers turn real military vehicles into toys. Looks like the turret came from a flakpanzer Gepard, not unexpected for the era.

[@Nediablo]

Nice! I see where the Energon Bruticus Maximus tanks got the inspo from!!

[@talljoke]

I haven't even started the video, but I just wanted to say the thumbnail alone made me smile so much when I checked my phone this morning.

[@a_world_made_of_cardboard]

I had ALL of the Micromaster Transformers. And I remember that base. I would cover the dining room table with all the bases and the Transformer cities to make one BIG playset. My mother didn't like it, but I did. And yes I was in college at the time and I still played with my toys. But that's what toys are for. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH THEM! Oh and great review and journey down memory lane.

[@mephosto]

had these guys as a kid. that base is so damn awesome.

[@AlexReynard]

...does this count as a BATTLE CHARIOT!?

[@MicronOnline]

Watching this makes me wish we got more modulators from the _generations war for Cybertron trilogy._ Perhaps with a seat for certain micromasters. Ridable vehicles for the micromaster lads would have been so novel and neat! Alas we do have some sick as Junkeons

[@mattr75]

It's weird looking back at the original Micromaster Blackout, and how the most famous character with that name also turns into an aircraft, albeit a very different one

[@dadaism]

one of the few Micromaster bases I didn't have as a kid. Looks pretty cool. I loved the Micromaster Combiners as a kid and the entire fun of them was making nonsensical vehicles like radar shovels and space trucks.

[@ScorpusFlexSlotCarRacing]

I had this as a kid, could never ever find anything about it until now. Loving it

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

I wish they’d bring these back. Also transforming accessories.

[@rodnog6526]

My headcanon is that Starscream rejected their auditions to the Seekers and then rubbed salt in the wound by assigning them to AA duty.

[@uriahgarcia3329]

Thanks for reviewing all these semi non transforming transformers. I feel like they're over looked too much but they have such charm 😊

[@FREKKI]

The stop motion on this channel is getting pretty good!

[@zoltanperei4789]

Mangmotion can go duck himself at this point.

[@ChakatStripedfur]

"And fun is what we're here for, isn't it?" No, Gav, I'm here for your delightful content obviously. That and the cruller you still owe me, but we won't talk about that. I'll just have a coffee and a donut and pretend I'm eating that cruller, and we'll be good.

[@BenDaresAll]

0:53 what's that? Mayhem Donnie's bo staff with a blade?

[@TheSandwhichman108]

I love the micromaster vehicle bases. There fun toys and nothing else. They’re not trying to be anything other than that. Just some fun toys to let someone’s imagination go wild.

[@baron_holi]

Hellll yeah! New trdq! Highlight of my mornings

[@TheRealHiboman]

Alright Gav I’m onto you. Idk what that mystery stick is, but I know that you want me to notice it. And I do notice it 👀

[@BeasBotBonanza]

Thats absolutely gorgeous omg I've never seen that set before!!

[@theuhohstory8995]

I wish they would have turned more of the micro master bases into modulators like back in earthrise.

[@zoltanperei4789]

I wanted this war beast soooo badly, when i was a little kid.

[@ae_double]

I'm starting to think this might be Hasbro's attempt to do their GI Joe styled toys for Transformers, with all the non-transforming vehicles and bases alongside 3 inch tall figures.

[@XCATX25]

In my headcanon, Gutcrusher is this tank transformed, and in the other set, Gutcrusher drives these 2 combining fellas as a jet to return the favor

[@colmodonnell3405]

Man, that little ramp teft gag really got me laughing in bed

[@harrisblastaar5081]

Would love to see a review of the other Micromaster base there.

[@varevulf6523]

You had me at micromasters, Gavin.

[@paulgraham4567]

I just opened a white Twix the exact time you said that.

[@Psientologist]

Top marks for the video description this time.

[@thomasthompson2431]

....... And for even more fun play, even though it was never intended the base has 'minicon' ports and can mount energon stars from transformers energon

[@raymondtillotson6985]

Tanks for the memories!

[@Renkencen]

Huh. Didn't know there were more playsets other than Ironwork and Airwave? Make me wonder if they would attempt to make bots out of them like they did the two I had mention? Has anyone made a fanmode base of this using Slammer since he turns into a tank too?

[@daverage4729]

Very nice set although my favourite of these sets was Skyhopper because...well its an enormous helicopter piloted by a tiny Decepticon. Just imagine the ego on all these micromasters!!!

[@cowpuddles4851]

I don’t know if these were after my time or what, but I don’t know what these are. Wish I had them as a kid though because I would have loved to play with a tiny play set like this. Reminds me of GI Joe’s Battleforce 2000 Future Fortress.

[@dukenukem9770]

I have no recollection of this that at all! It looks really fun. I’m pretty sure I still have my G1 Hot House...

[@thatonebritishidiot3037]

"the marty jannetty of this micromaster team" lmao

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Cool stuff! Thank you!

[@soundwavegamer2321]

So the two micro masters combine into a B-1 R or as we military plane enthusiasts call it the B-ONE-R

[@DiceRobo]

Slammer redecoed with this color scheme

[@GuzziHeroV50]

Blackout and Spaceshot. Beast Wars uprising codified them as female bots ;)

[@PlutoniumBoss]

But which one of them gets the left Twix and which one gets the right Twix?

[@ohsnapsonbro4260]

I have this. But kid me lost everything that attaches to it 🤣

[@lampy5490]

What other visual pointing aids will we be seeing in the future? My money is on a twiglet.

[@lekanraposte6732]

I have it and that's the best partner form my G1 Scorponok.

[@tzgaming207]

you were inclined to attach the ramp eh? 😅

[@antesdequenacieranadiemeco4332]

I do not collect for fun I collect to fill with physical objects some of my many emotional voids that cause adult life and where is my botcon strika?

[@jessicarie-tp6ti]

this playability level is something not even kids today will have. which is sad. This thing is so awesome. I never had this, but even today i would love to have it I am an adult, who still loves transformers, and teh last thing with so much playability we had was War for Cybertron Trilogy. Something that was well planned with tons of stuff. Weaponziers, fossilizers, modulators, effect parts , battlemasters.... HEck... even Prime wars has stuff to go around a lot. legacy has..... nothing. " but you have the junkions gimmick thing"...which offers nothing really, i you compare that only thing , with WFCTrilogy-. Seriously, Legacy feels a lot "throwing stuff at walls and see what sticks."

[@matthewbloom3869]

Looks like a TMNT vehicle

[@nikoszparaszkevopulosz5522]

This was agreat toy my younger son hade this tank the older the copter

[@The_Barroth]

This is what the wfc trilogy micro masters should’ve been Idk how they messed it up but they did Add it to the list of things they messed up (top of that list is refusing to give me my commander dotm devcon)

[@mechanwhal6590]

I guess you could say this is Micromaster *based.*

[@ShokoArc]

Hello Gavin!!!!

[@TRDQ]

Hello Lex

[@michaellombardi1620]

Ohh! Not to familiar with this guy. Strong Bludgeon tank energy!

[@johngolles342]

Alright, imma say it… this Black Out is better, idc

[@Loremastrful]

I'll pass on them. Just like the recent Battlemasters, without the competition from Micro Machines it feels pointless.
