Hey Simon I started out the same time with the Armada Megatron review which has 2'000 views and I want to say your the reason why I did reviews of my Transformers collection and I never had the Dinobots until I saw your video about the Dinobots so that why I brought them on eBay. Keep up the good work for another 5 years
Great video Simon. I've been watching from pretty much the start, can't believe its five years either. God, its nearly four since the MP Megatron fiasco! Hope all gets better with you in light of recent events
It'd be interesting to hear your take on Black Shadow/Generations Sky Shadow...or possibly Thunderwing, considering he's the more popular character who uses the same mold.
I see the fireplace and the open shirt with the medallion... but where is the brandy in a snifter and the Barry white music? I'm not quite feeling the seduction here
Hey Silverbolt keep up the good work mate, you have actually made me change my mind on some the toys over the years which I now have in my collection, because I have been watching your reviews thank you very much mate
aug 2006 was when i joined youtube...it's amazing whats come and gone since then and how much youtube has changed from those days...you were the first reviewer i watched when i joined...wow five years good luck for the future bro:)
hey dude, i'v followed you for about 3 years now and i can honestly say that out of all the videos i watch yours is the highlight :) sounds gay but your very down to earth, honest and can talk about transformers till hell freezes over and its always good to hear from you
I like listening to you but i dont know much about what you say since i forgot the cartoon series. your megatron video was funny. bever fever is next to the video. WOW they didnt know who data was_?
I'm glad you want to keep doing video's. I do genuinely feel that you could do vid's other than transformers. Just a general VLOG, I would like to see that.
Its funny cuz ive eben following you since 2006 too..i think i dunno i found ya cuz i just liked the way you did reviews and your opinons were just like..something i resonated with, plus youre a funny guy, so...yah it is freaky realizing the time thats passed
congrats, hopefully we get a Masterpeice Megs upgrade like the MP-10 Prime and I think they should give you that 1 for free to review lol always entertaining keep up the good work!
Silverbolt...I've always enjoyed your videos...You come off very real and not playing a charatcter like other out there. (not i don't enjoy him as well but MY example is TJ Omega..) The thing that differs you from the rest is the history you share. So please keep the videos coming and I wish you the same success as Optibitmus but I know you'll do it you way...
I always look forward to your in depth character reviews. Simply the best reviewer on YouTube. I hope you continue this for a very very long while. Thanks.
Silverbolt I enjoy your style and you come off real....not to mention the you do more than just review a toy....its the whole history that you share that differs you from the rest....Please keep them coming and I wish as much successess as optibotimas but you will do your way....
One final thing i wanted to say....YOU sir gave me the best piece of advice when i started out. Something that has stuck with me forever. I was worried about making people happy with my videos. You watched my stuff and gave me wonderful advice...to do whatever i want. That i can't make everyone happy and to enjoy doing whatever i do. That is simply the very best advice anyone could give to anyone and i try passing that information along...and again, that came from you :)
We dont' talk nearly as much as we used to. You still though are one of my dearest friends. You started almost ALL of us. You inspired me and just about everyone else in this toy reviewing community. I am here because of YOU. I owe everything i have because of you Simon. My deepest and most sincere congratulations to you, one of the founding fathers of us TF reviewers.
For me, I think that yes you have hit a plateau, I remember back when I asked you about reviewing all those ages ago. And the funny thing is, I think once when Ray disapoofed, the Transformers reviewing interest just dropped.
Also, for the record. Paul is a right well cunt. FYI. He has done some horrible things to the LA Collective.
@PaidYouOff Well he is telling the truth. He is very well liked and is the most popular British reviewer. I understand how you feel about the way he's saying it, but what he says is true.
@InfnityXAquos He is. he's a top man and the best, most entertaining British reviewer of Transformers toys. Is he famous? No, haha. Just...no. This vid was just...super pretentious. I hope he meant it with irony.
@PaidYouOff If by famous you mean he's a complete and utter celebrity that everybody knows, then I whole-heartedly agree with you, he isn't famous. But if by famous you mean that he is a very popular guy on Youtube that inspired so many reviewers to be what they are today, then I think you'll find yourself mistaken. He's not famous on Youtube, but he is famous amongst reviewers. In a way, you're right, but in another way, you're also wrong.
@InfnityXAquos Dude, he's not famous. He's not YouTube famous and he's not famous in any other way. He is KNOWN in the community of Transformers reviewers. How is that fame on any level? Again, nothing against him, he's a top man, but you're overstating this. The video was just...so pretentious.
@PaidYouOff I think you're getting the wrong end of the stick. He's not famous on all of Youtube and he's certainly not famous in the real world. But what he is is very popular. He's one of the most well known reviewers in the Transformers community. Sorry if you thought I meant differently, maybe famous is the wrong word to use. But you can't deny that's he's incredibly well respected by many, and even if you don't think of him as famous, others will and you can't decide what they think of him.
@PaidYouOff Ahh sorry maybe i should ahve clarified it a bit more, i dont consider myself famous at all. I dont walk down the street and get recognised (well once maybe three times over the years) i mean in the world of transformer reviews and youtube tranformer reviews then yes im well known. At AA im well known - i didnt mean it to come across and go "hey im better than anyone look at meeeee"
5 years have past already? Wow, I remember when I joined Youtube and you were one of the first channels I subscribed to. I had just moved to Spain and was getting into Transformers fully, and came across your first vid. Watched it and fairly enjoyed it. I didn't actually subscribe though until 3 or 4 vids later. To this day I never get tired of watching your reviews. I even went back and watched some of them again. MP Megatron is one to remember. Congrats and here's to the Decade mark!
Congratulations sir. I always enjoy watching your indepth reviews, its hard to believe you've been doing it as long as you have, but certainly would miss the day you stop doing it, lets hope that never happens.
Congrats on 5 years of persistence. One of the things that keeps me coming back to your videos is the depth of information you deliver without a sense of being lectured too or talk at instead of the sense of being talked with. Keep up the videos and I will keep watching.
Congratulations on getting the 5 year mark on You Tube.Heres to another 5 :)
