Plastic Addict 19: BTR Thundercracker

[GeorgedIDK]

Not only are the top comments the same, but the second one admits that it's a copy of the first. *Facedesk* *Facedesk* *Facedesk*

[SSJPrime]

In Soviet Russia, bricks on jets build you

[valfor108]

lol tetris

[GeorgedIDK]

Another video fallen victim to the Topcommentus Sameus syndrome. Tragic.

[sunshine8888dino]

more like BTD built to drool.

[TheMrOkamiden]

Now I am seriously woundering.

IS ARMADA OPTIMUS PRIME THE WORST TRANSFORMERS EVER??????

And I have one,WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT??!!!

[NightBladeSpearichu]

@TheMrOkamiden i suggest getttng armada overload and armada jetfire to make it a better toy

[eddiethecoolest]

a little kid would have nightmare from the robot mode what ever that is

[digirockmon327]

so after seeing this and kre-o do you think that kre-o is a knock off of lego

[clockworkorange14880]

Actually that is armada Star Scream. In the cartoon series he is badly damaged by nemesis prime aka (Side Ways). The mini cons reformat him or what ever and change his red and black colors to that. And even in the carton he says " I look like Thunder Craker"

[TJOmega]

@clockworkorange14880 Yeah, that was the cartoon explanation for the color change. But the toy was sold as Thundercracker, and in the toys Thundercracker was a different character, so as not to confuse anyone I refer to it by it's toy name.

[midgetlord576]

Now we got kre-o...

[bannedstory01234]

hey TJ wat do you think of the new transformer legos .

[illiniguy34]

What do you think of the new Kre-O Transformers? Better or worse than BTR?

[jetseekers]

ya know what

I think that hasbro was intentonally screwing us with this one.

im serious

[siege456productions]

finnally soomeone that remebers these and the new kro arnt much better

[wyatt190]

like legolover95 said we have kre-o and it is way better than btr

[legolover95]

thankfully we now have kre-o

[PokemonSpectrum92]

@legolover95 Yeah, I'd love some of those!

[sunshine8888dino]

@legolover95 kre-o sucks. they look worse than BTR.

[viraticwars]

@legolover95

Comparing these to Kre-O is like comparing G1 to Kre-O... Except people love G1...

[Deathwing2000cakeman]

I had a btr iron hide. it was good!

[TheBeromLP]

@GangsterJoe101 and he sings boyfriend when you press a button :P

[TheInsanemonkeyboy]

In Russia Transformers Transforms you!

[chaoticwarzone]

HEADSHOT!!!!

[TheBeromLP]

höhö BTR Big Time Rush :P

that says my little sister

[GangsterJoe101]

@TheBeromLP that would be cool to have big time rush transformers that can combine like devastator

[87spore]

I had a BTR demolishor, and I would often rebuild him in the shape of the starship enterprise, or combine pieces with other BTR transformers to make new characters or even imitate a powerlinx

[dreadwing2020]

do armada thrust next

[Gfawkes77]

Aerodynamics Bitch has none.

[dreadwing2020]

b.t.f (built ot fail)

[GeorgedIDK]

Actually, one of those spare parts can't be put on the back. The minicon port has no studs, only inlets. Therefor, it can only go on top of other studs, not under other inlets. You'd have to put it on the front, where it'd stick out like a sore thumb. So it's understandable why the designers left it off.

[ssjmega]

i used to have an optimus prime version of this toy, it sucked, broke in less then a week. worst. birthday present. ever.

[MultiUSERX]

BTR Butt Trap Rick Roll

[GeorgedIDK]

3 people aren't built to rule.

[customlegokarl]

go se boyzwiththemosttoyz hes transformers are awesome

[Xybertron80]

be nice for parts on a kit-bash

[TheGeekwolf]

hey tj i have a transformer that i hate so much i want to throw it of the empire state building,burn with a flame thrower,and maby nuke it and the name of it is............rotf starscream but the one that looks a brick and a few rocket launchers glued on it

[GeorgedIDK]

Did you hear they're planning to do this again? With the DOTM movie, they're planning to release Kre-O as a new BTR.

[jlogano20]

oh shit in the toy fair it looks like they are bringing something like this back

[forgottenduelist]

i'd like some of those parts for my legos though.

[forgottenduelist]

i build better lego transformers than this as a hobby! this is maybe the dumbest idea i've ever seen.

[1alexnguyen]

i have all the horrendous plastic addict toys and i actually have fun..... with some

[vultwaz]

the truck BTR transformers are 10 X better (in vehicle mode that is)

[victor536angle]

Nth

[MIBsecretagent]

i have btr star scream same mold

[flameformer]

dang is that suppose to be thundercracker it just looks like a skywarp kinda or a thundercracker that got a darker skin color and u could add more legos to it

[flameformer]

dang is that suppose to be thundercracker it just looks like a skywarp kinda or a thundercracker that got a darker skin color

[ItsukiXIII]

When you look at it from the front it kinda looks like a tank, a LOT more than a jet, at least.

[jghetrick]

oh god when i saw him in robot mode i just came up with some crappy thoughts about his head and his cockpit.. atleast with the way its aimed

[MJeremiah8]

btr = bad transformer remake

[budster248]

BTR was actually a mega blocks line but honestly the only difference between lego and mega blocks is detailed pieces.

[megamanpwn3dmario]

this is the bad example of transformers + lego

mugenbine is a good example

[illiniguy34]

That's the repaint of Starcream.

[legojunk96]

not only do i have Hot Shot( AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAA­AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!) But i also have BTR Hot Shot (* Head Explodes*)

[ZeSheshamHahu]

Wait, So whats the difference between this and Mugenbine?

Central transforming brick- check

Part Forming- check

Brick-ish modes- chek

Robot-with-parts-on-mode- check

Visible head- check

[mcmetolhead]

T

O

Y

S

U

X

[emokidblack123]

the hot shot btr was SLIGHTLY better. the head wasn't visible. it was better then the real hot shot, althought, thats not saying much...

[MegaLegodude12345678]

wow that is a terable transformer

[dragonjohn7445]

the good hing about these is if you had 2 BTRs you could make your own and possibaly improve artivulation an make a better figure.

[TheSpawn117]

it can be an aircrarft carer

[TheAden101]

awsome for kitbashing ?

[StackACat]

LOL I've seen 9 year old's build transformers that were much much better.

[TheStephenShow]

I think with another built-to-rule toy kit, I could make him look better but certain parts are gonna look off proportion and look like a 2007 seeker mold.

[GWolfV3]

I wonder whatever happened to the guy in front of the lamp

[WarriorPrime9000]

"The big tubby thing"

XD

...unfortunately, I own BTR Ironhide... It's worse than the actual toy...

[Luchiop]

well, wingsaber is also a brickwall and you said you liked that bulk. I like your reviews man, keep em coming. Strange comment: your english is very clear to foreign listeners.

[MrVash104]

dude i had they those man

they were ok man

[illiniguy34]

Built To Regret ever buying.

[TheCIScommander]

i wonder if i can find all of the parts to my built to rule armada Jetfire...

[ElectricTurahk]

You keep mentioning the fact that it's a ripoff of LEGO (MegaBloks, for the record), so WHY did you keep disparaging it by calling it LEGO?!?!

I'm a fan of both LEGO and Transformers, so was pretty affronted by that. And the fact that it is indeed an abomination to construction toys and Transformers of any kind...

[TheStephenShow]

If I redesigned these toys, then they'd transform more like the vf-1 Valkyrie.

[theprimo100]

with some glue and paint, i MIGHT BE able to make this better, but, is it a really rare "toy"?

[illiniguy34]

I made a way better lego optimus prime

[Vorahk3985]

LOL AT 02:51

[mcmetolhead]

which is more aeroydamymic this guy or 2007 movie seeker mold?

[TheStephenShow]

@mcmetolhead I guess the 2007 one.

[mcmetolhead]

can real legos connect to btr parts?

[TJOmega]

@mcmetolhead Yeah, that's the one advantage to these

[mcmetolhead]

@TJOmega im building a fairly poseable starscream, which is very similat to the one from armada, but with a g1 color scheme, if i painted him blue, the Btf(built to fail) thundercracker head would look nice on the faceless box acting as a "head"

[mcmetolhead]

@TJOmega i might make something semi-decent from this if i had it

[fuckjustinbiber]

@TJOmega well kreo is made intirely out of part forming so yeah

[fishpop]

i have thundercracker, red alert and smokescreen out of the BTR toyline

[maxustech12]

what really then why there not been in line and there are no reviews of them or are they owned by takara

[maxustech12]

i agree this is the most worst concept then crossovers and imagen mixter with bionicle well it may be a little better

[cptrex98]

i got it but it was so horrofiing that i spred the peases everywhere. it was so ugly

[maxustech12]

energon did not had them only armada

[TJOmega]

Sorry, you're wrong. They're very, very rare, but there were Energon BTRs that are supposedly better than the Armada ones.

[9mandazi9]

i like btr cause of the good idea of making "lego" transformers but here comes the beef. they look like turds in robot mode, the vehicle modes are nice but robot modes, utter crap

[mcmetolhead]

@TJOmega and didnt you make a plastic addict episode with one?

[theprimo100]

@TJOmega *supposedly

[mcmetolhead]

@maxustech12 Tj Omega made a plastic addict episode with skyblast , when i expected armada lazerbeak

[maxustech12]

@mcmetolhead ok then

[transformersmoviesp]

the energon btr's look a bit better

[cyberouse]

What were they thinking when they made BTR???

[jango6880]

i got that toy when i was 5

[agfadamson]

the thundercracker does totally suck, but the jetfire and demolisher are better. not as good as a normal transformer, but good for a BTR.

[TheStephenShow]

@agfadamson One obvious thing that make Jetfire better I guess when you look at him, is that he's more sleek.

[emokidblack123]

i almost pissed myself at the panda..."SEND IT TO WAL-MART IM A MARKITING GENUS"

[08brittbaby]

you should do armada scavenger

[Daluprime]

the only good thing is the head sculpt

[mcmetolhead]

@Daluprime making it possible to make a decent transformer out of legos and use the btr head

[Daluprime]

@mcmetolhead so you mean some one should make a lego tf and use that head?

[mcmetolhead]

@Daluprime yep

[Daluprime]

cool idea man!

[brianbot123]

how is this line called built to rule when in order to rule somthing or someone has to be great when this is of course not great at all

[Toamata77]

b.t.s.a (built to suck ass)

[SSJPrime]

never trust a communist

[transformersmoviesp]

oh my i used to have this guy

[starscream372]

used to?what do you mean by that?

[transformersmoviesp]

it means i am using the pieces for other stuff

[angelwat213]

Not as bad as Retrax but it's still sucks.

[fuyingbro]

that ending was pretty funny

[mcmetolhead]

so the I.C.B.M's are not very I.C.

[ultimatejalafan35]

does a "powerlinx" red alert qualify as an addict victim?

[hioeo123]

whats BTR stand for? Bad Toy Review?

[xxThePumpkinKingxx]

built to rule

[blackoutclone]

the ending was hilarious

[blackoutclone]

build to fail

[mcmetolhead]

are lego bricks compatable with these things?i want to make something decent out of one

[dragonfable17]

oh yeah the name is diablock

[dragonfable17]

theres a better lego transformers(well not actually lego) from japan and its optimus prime

[NecroZombieT38]

You could make a better transformer with REAL Legos.

Hell, you could probably make a more convincing Transformer with Duplos.

[mcmetolhead]

yep

[Dualor]

He remindsmeof the brick like G1 blitzwing :P

Come on! He's not as bad as the SWTF snowspeader

[TJOmega]

Well like I said in the opening, this toy was DONATED to me, so I didn't really buy it, and really how do you know you hate a toy before you buy it? You really need to have it in hand. Also keep in mind, this is entertainment, exagerated opinion for comedic effect, don't take it too seriously.

[Mrspikeprime]

Yeah, I see your piont.

[Mrspikeprime]

Sorry about that.

[Mrspikeprime]

And I did find it funny, so I guess mission accomplished

[shadowalchemywol3]

@TJOmega pretty clever spelling out toy sux with the tetris!

[mcmetolhead]

@TJOmega and it came from RUSSIA!

[leonicle]

10:25 to end = lol

[OcarinaOfTime554]

that tetris part is awesome

[elvixteo]

a more appropriate name for this toy is build to rue....

[GodOfPlague]

tetrtis ftw

I have seen kids make transformable lego transformers on thier own 1000-X better than this guy

[themegashyguy]

well you could take the brick off the plane mode and btw u called zapmaster swindle his repaint counter-part

[TJOmega]

Yeah, read the comments, you're not the first to notice.

[nightslash3535]

BTR Megs: much more awful

[SICMetal74]

lol this is pretty bad

[Farrellbrothers1]

This is just about the best, coolest transformers I've ever seen. I have GOT to get one!

[Benjamin72227]

dude, im 13, and have built over 300 lego transformers

and they are all like 13 times better than this load of ____(insert nasty word here)

[harrytwood]

when will episode number 20 come out?

[TJOmega]

I post new episodes when I can. Please understand writing, setting, recording, and editing takes a long time and I dont always have the free time to do it all.

[linksrandomness]

zomg lol tetris sequence ftw

[zilvertron]

Love your tertris joke comparison on assembling it all

[PACman7307]

Dude, i have built better lego transformers than that, like Optimus Prime.

[AncientGamerDudeX]

lol i can make a better toys then this lol

[Phantom9252]

Great vid, TJ. I bought a Jetfire BTR, and after 5 min of owning it, I set it on fire.

[nightslash3535]

Well, Diablock Convoy is the only%

[Eric032289]

LOL Great review! And I loved the very end, what with the foreshadowing...

[autobotmurder]

If i ever got this guy, it be " to the lego bucket, this needs a fixin"

[W2daERN]

While Armada Screamer was arguably one of the best characters in the entire transformers franchise, this toy does not do the character justice (especially since Armada Starscream in on the same level as Beast Wars Dinobot and Animated Prowl when it comes to character development. In my opinion, this character is the single most worthy character in the entire history of transformers to get a universe 2.0 figure. Hasbro has yet to realize that they are sitting on a goldmine of a character.

[GothamKnight2009]

I'm sorry but this "Figure" is BULLSHIT.

[primal2020]

ive seen youtube people make better lego versions of prime better than that shit

[Enigma2KXX]

... what the fuck is that thing?!?!?

[likeits1985]

Yeah, the robot face staring up at you in jet mode is the worst part of this toy.

That is worse than 2007 Leader Megatron, whose designers at least made some attempt to cover Megs' face in jet mode.

If you think of this toy as a Lego toy that transforms, it's not so bad.

But if you think of it as a Transformer...yeah, it sucks...

[awquinn1201]

Awesome video! I love the Addict reviews. This was easily your best so far. Nice Tetris integration. Also your lighting and sound - everything has just shot up in quality recently. Great job man! Keep up the great work!!

[korg13]

Have you checked out Transformers RPMs?

It looks like the car smashed the robot when it fell on it...

cars dont transform. lay it down its vehicle mode, stand it up its robot mode. its about the size of hotwheels. Theres also Transformers R/C RPMs, just as bad.

[holsson85]

OMG that is the worst transformer I've ever seen...such a fail I'm speachless...

[cksuperdude]

Great to see you back at it TJ! Love the tetris gimmick, and man, that is one cool shirt! lol....seriously, great job and hope to see more soon!

[ThyGoddess]

LOL TETRIS! RUSSIA!

see? I mentioned it. :D

[Majinhero]

the evil of armada prime is geting closer...

[dude851884]

Heck yes! New Plastic Addict!

[Bluedragon111]

I love your evil grin when you rightfully decapitate that thing! Nice one :)

[gamerfire3]

Swindle? I thought it Zapmaster

[TJOmega]

Yeah, I kinda goofed... I called him Zapmaster before but I'm so used to Swindle it slipped out. To be fair, it's nothing the Armada show didn't do.

[netsoojnomar]

I was a big huge lego fan, even bigger than transformers or mask. (or he-man or GI-joe or...). But still i jused it to build my own transformer's with them.

And i can say. as a kid a made better transformers than the guys who made these for a living (and having some kind of degree). blocky and partformer is somting that goes with lego, but please

My best was a realy big triplechanger with only two part former bits. It still should be mostly intact , in my former room at my paternal home

[Ballpython77]

lmfao at 06:25

[SpartanVersionDELTA]

My Bionicles are better robots than that piece of ****. And half of them don't even have hands. (Yes thats right, Lego only invented a hand piece this year.) But they are still better than BTR.
