 Patriot Prime Reviews is a channel for adult collectors and may not be suitable for children under 13 years of age. Viewer discretion is advised. Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again and yes, I made it home safe from Baltimore. That was a long drive. It took me five hours from Baltimore back home to West Virginia and that was a long ride when you're by yourself. And as you can tell by my voice, I'm going to apologize. It's a little strange. I did a lot of yelling at TF Con. If you met me, you realized that I am a loud guy and being forced to wear the mask all the time, I had to be louder than normal, especially when we did things like the panel, which was awesome. I mean, we joked around when we found out we were going to be able to do a panel at TF Con that maybe five people would watch us. That room was almost packed and it was very engaging. I was really surprised. I know Rodimus Primal was able to film that and it's probably going to be up on his channel later on. So that was quite humbling to be part of the opening ceremonies of TF Con 2020. So that was really, really cool. Now, this video is going to be a haul video. I know we did one live with myself, Bert the Stormtrooper, Deluxe Baldwin, Kato and engineer Hoist. But unfortunately, it was a live video. It was kind of grainy at first and it actually derailed into a great train wreck. We had so much fun together. I mean, I'm already missing those guys so bad. And they all made it home to everybody's home safe. I think Hoist is on the road now. Last check-in he had, I believe he was in North Carolina. He had to leave really early. He was the last one to take off. But everybody's made it home or on their way home. Everybody's safe. And yeah, it was an amazing time and it was so cool. Not only hanging out with my YouTube bros, meeting you guys. That was awesome. And of course, what's bad is when you come up and introduce yourselves like, hey, I'm James. And you shake hands and walk off and you realize, well, I don't know a James. I know your YouTube name and your icon, but it was hard to put faces to names and all that good stuff. But still, it was really, really cool once everything got ironed out and we constantly kept running into the same people. People wanting our pictures. It was just surreal, yet awesome at the same time. And I miss it already. It was like when I left the service and all the good friends I made over there. And then you leave and we never know when we're going to see each other again, which sucks. But that's the glory of the internet. So, you know, people complain about social media a lot, but I've made some great friends via this right here. So, without further ado, let's go ahead and get into the haul that I have. The very first item I got was from a member of the channel, Rico Redstar. Excuse me, I apologize. I told you, Rico Redstar, he came up to me, says, hey, I got you this. I know you're a Megatron fan. I got you the Funko Pop GameStop Exclusive Megatron. And he got Kato, a G.I. Joe Funko Pop Exclusive. These are GameStop exclusives. These are the ones that came in the Lunchbox 10. So what makes this Megatron special here is, let me get him opened up, he has the flail on his arm. So he has no fusion cannon, but he does have the flail weapon. So that is really cool. I know a lot of Transformer fans and a lot of toy collectors always piss on Funko Pops, but I think they're fun to collect. I mean, I got a whole wall of them over there. I'm not going nuts getting every one. Transformer ones, but they're cool. I mean, it's something else you can add to the massive collection that you're acquiring. What's next? Oh, next individual came up to me was my buddy Slade that I met at TFCon 2019. He is known as Biohazard Prime. He makes pins and other different accessories, really cool stuff. I'm going to put a link to his channels and not channels, those you got. Instagram and Twitter. So I'm going to put a link to these in the description of this video. So what he gave me, a nice little goodie bag here. Please recycle this bag. I have, I'm going to use this a lot. Okay, this is the big surprise. We'll hold that off. So I got this little plastic Biohazard bag and in it, everything laid out. I got a eraser, Megatron and Optimus Prime. Now I gave Optimus Prime to Bert because Bert's the big that's just prime guy and I kept Megatron and that is sweet. Then let's see, I got a Dreadnock's Patch, a patch of his logo, which is awesome. I like that design. He even has that tattooed on him. So that's really cool. I have a key chain with his logo and I need to make some of those with mine. I like that. That's awesome. Kind of a rubbery logo. Then we've got some pins. I've got, these are the metal pins. Got Grimlock. That's where Wheelie smacks him with the slingshot. A Dreadnock's pin and the Optimus Prime face palm pin. So that was pretty slick. Slade thanks so much for the pins. He also gave me a hat with his logo. So there you go. So that looks really cool. Got to keep mine on though. That's my trademark. I got a lanyard with his logo on it. A flag. I know this is from Transformers Animated. It is the Elite Guard. So I got this little Elite Guard flag or handkerchief, whatever you want to do with it. Let's see. And that was all I got from, no, no, the big thing. He gave me a set of the Magic Square stunnacons, Dragstrip and Dead End or Pillage and Contain. Now I don't have any of these Magic Square legends. I know Deluxe Baldwin and Kato and everybody else just raves about these. I've never messed with any. So I was so grateful. He's like, man, I know you like stunnacons. Here you go. I accidentally ordered two. So Slade, thank you so much. And because of you, I spent $300 on figures I wasn't intending to. But still, awesome gift. Thank you so much. And as I said, I'm going to put a link to his contact information in the description of this video. So let me get all this stuff out of the way so we can move on. Oh, he also gave me, as we were leaving, a Transformers Challenge Coin. You've got Autobot on one side, Decepticon on the other. So if you're at the bar, you're not sure what drink to get. There you go. So Slade, once again, you are awesome. Thank you so much. Get with you. And I want to find out how to make Patriot Prime lanyards and pens and keychains and all that cool stuff because you got some awesome products, brother. All right, so move these out of the way. Next up was I ran into my buddy Fire Talks who had made some special 3D printed rollers for the show. See his logo embedded in the front of that one. So a nice green and gold roller. And he also gave me a Army version that's black and green, completely different. I love his rollers. Oh, wait, I didn't even see this. 2021 right there on the side. That's cool. Yeah, 2021. That's awesome. So yeah, Fire Talks was there. Great meeting him. So that's pretty much all I got while I was waiting in line for the dealer room. Once I got in the dealer room, I had two objectives. Bob Budiansky's autograph, Gary Chalk's autograph. Bob Budiansky had just sat down as I was walking up, I was able to get fifth in line and I had him autograph my Transformers issue number three. There's his autograph right there. As I've said many, many times, this book right here, this is what introduced me to the world of the Transformers and I couldn't think of a better, more fitting thing for him to autograph than my issue number three. So very pleased to have that. I'm going to get this out of the cardboard and plastic. See if I can find a frame for it to put it somewhere in here. And of course, next up, Gary Chalk was running a little late. So I'm just walking around, you know, deciding what I'm going to buy. When Gary Chalk shows up, once again, I just happened to be right place, right time, got right in line. I think it was fifth or sixth again. And I got his autograph on the reissue Optimus Primal. I almost bought the kingdom version, but then I realized that he was kind of heartbroken that he wasn't picked to voice that character. And this is the character I know him from. So I've got Gary Chalk's autograph right there. And again, my buddy who I've talked about before, Brad, the Texas toy hunter, he actually bought both of these for us. And he said, I'll buy the figures, you get the autograph. So I got both of these autographed one for me, one for Brad. So that was cool. And even better was Gary is a veteran as well. I was field artillery back in the day. He was artillery as well. And what happens when two veterans get together? Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. And it got to the point where I could feel the knives going in my back from everybody in line who'd been waiting. They're like, would that guy shut up and leave Gary alone? So I shook his hand, appreciate everything he did. And I moved on, but I probably could have talked to that gentleman for another hour. He is a great individual and just super friendly and he really, really appreciates the fans. Next up, thanks to engineer hoist. I was able to get the TF Con Exclusive Chosen Prime Pistolonics, which is a legend scale version of Megatron, like a mini masterpiece Megatron in black. And I didn't do this in a live show, but I will open these up a little bit so you can see what we got. I'm going to take everything out and remove the clamshell. So there's what he looks like. Looks like the hands are on little sprues you have to pop off. I love the collars on that guy. So that is pistolonics. We'll get him back in here. I don't want to drop anything. The problem with these legends figures is everything's so damn tiny. If I lose it in here, then I've got Dipper sleeping right below me. He's will hear it hit the floor and he'll chew it up and swallow it. So I got that. Then next up, because of Slade and giving me those Magic Square Stonokons, I had to get the Magic Square Motor Master or Overlord, which I think is ironic since that's the one figure I really want that I've always wanted and he's called Overlord. But this guy is great. He's heavy. This guy is really, really heavy. So pop him out so you can take a look at him. And he comes with a lot of stuff. I guess all the Minasaur attachments come with him. You've got the truck, the trailer, two different swords, two different guns. I've got a book of extra pieces and parts here. A magazine sized instruction manual. So that's going to be cool. So then after getting Motor Master and the other two, I'm searching all over because I've got to get Breakdown and Wild Rider. Come to find out that was one of the first sets released. Nobody had one. So when Bert and I went upstairs to take a little break and head to lunch, here I have this gigantic dealer room floor of Transformers below me. And I'm on eBay and I ordered the other two. So once I get all of those in, I'll do a review on them. Unless you guys want to see, just pop them out now and then do a big review later on once I get them combined. Okay, so then I'm just wandering the floor. I mean, I'm looking at so much stuff and I'm talking myself out of so much stuff because I only brought a certain amount of money because I paid for the hotel with my credit card because I can get points and miles on that and only brought X amount of cash. So I didn't want to break the bank, which I easily could have because there was so much cool stuff. Then running into the G1 tables, it was so bad because I have so many G1 figures and like, ah, got that, got that, got that. So this trip was mainly third party and after walking around, we're getting ready to leave. I mean, that's all I've got so far. I've got to buy something else. I need something big, something unique that actually fits with my collection. And I bought the Generation Toy Tyrant. This is the Stealth Bomber Megatron from IDW. This is one version of Megatron that I don't own. I had the little deluxe figure a long time ago. I guess I ended up selling it or it broke or something but I don't have him anymore and I thought this guy looks pretty cool but the box, you don't have any idea what he looks like but fortunately with the chosen prime who I bought, can remember I said who I bought from or not bought this from chosen prime, they had a display, huge glass display with all of these figures where you could actually take a look at him and once I found this guy and stared him down I was like, I have got to get this guy because this is a beautiful looking figure and from what the other guys told me this is a re-release and he is included with a flight stand oh, all the stuff's falling out of you he's got a flight stand he has a massive blast effect okay, so here all these clamshell on top of clamshell alright, so here is the figure dropping everything I really don't have much room alright, there is I'll go ahead and take him out so there's the figure he is a pretty decent sized figure love the collar ski moning look at that head sculpt this guy is wicked and of course here is the massive blast effect that you get also, let's get back in there with him you get like I said, there is a flight stand let me see if I can get this open too there we go, you got the flight stand here his fusion cannon and the little clip that you attach to the flight stand what mode you want to display him in so there is the Tyrant so now I can get him all packed up probably edit this later so you don't have to waste your time watching me repack robots so that's it, that was everything I got on Saturday, day one day two we go down and it's slim pickings everything's been gone through but there was one eye, oh almost forgot, I'm trying to go in order tonight, after we got out of the after Bert and I left the lobby bar which we were there quite often there were some people set up in the lobby selling, they brought down like toads of transformers and they were selling parts of their collection, one part of the dealer floor these are just guys there, you're trying to make an extra buck or two so I'm looking through all this stuff and who was it was it Rico again, I think Rico Redstar once again brought down a tub of stuff and he said hey, whatever you see in here dollars, I'm like, well sweet, so I'm looking and he shows me he says, I know you're a Megatron guy I've got this K.O and there's the box I have no idea what it is, Yoo-hoo Yoo-hoo Deformation Figured, it is a K.O Cyberverse Megatron now I've always steered clear of Cyberverse because I thought, man they just look too kitty-fied, but my god look at this guy this is the K.O. Cyberverse Megatron and that's diecast metal right there how sweet is that and he just looks so good though he doesn't need a proper toy hacks Decepticon logo right there, but once I realized that was diecast that was like an instant sell so this is like becoming my Megatron trip I'm not sure if that's his gun or not he's fusing cannon right here I may, that looks like Prime's gun maybe huh oh well free toy inside, free toy inside UHF reference alright so that finishes up day one so the next day we go down and I've got like 60 bucks cash left I'm like okay I want to get something I don't want to break the bank though and there was this item I was looking at over and over again on this one guy's table it's a figure I've been wanting for a long time and he had it for 50 bucks and I asked him, I said ma'am he's been sitting here for two days I will give you 40 for him if that's cool 40 cash right now and he agreed and I got the 2003 robots in 2003 robots in disguise destructicon Scourge this was a KB toys exclusive back in the day he is a repaint of the robot heroes g2 hero he was a repaint of the g2 Optimus Prime man Scourge here is a repaint of the g2 hero Optimus Prime and the hero figures were the ones that had the bellows where you put the missile in, you punch the bellows and the missile flies across the room now I had the Optimus Prime years ago and did not like him he was white, yellow and red and I got him, he was in the collection for a while, ended up selling him I kept the Megatron, I did a review of Hero Megatron which is really cool and a couple years ago I realized there was a version of this guy as Scourge or Nemesis Prime so I've been looking on eBay for a while and I could never find a decent one or one that came complete because he's got the two missiles, you got the gun you got the little air hose and all that stuff, he even has a card I believe right there so really cool looking figure I love Nemesis Prime and the color scheme of Nemesis Prime and what I really like about this one is he's got this really bright yellow bellows right here that the toy does not have, he is black, gray, turquoise and red like Nemesis Prime or Scourge out of B so I cannot wait to get this guy and I'm going to disappoint some mint in box, mint on card collectors because I will be opening this guy up alright so I'm making it home and this isn't really a TF Con haul box but I might as well add him into the video because right before TF Con I was approached by XTransbots wondering if I would review their new and improved 86MXXI Warrior lock this is their version of Cup I have no experience with the previous version which I heard had some issues I also don't have any experience with XTransbots so this is going to be something new for me completely and a big shout out to Mike who helped hook me up with XTransbots to send this my way so you got a great picture a lock right there on the side I love the fact you got like a G1 inspired tech specs right there of course we'll get more into that when I actually review the figure and let's take a look at it I haven't even taken him out of the box yet my wife he came Friday or Saturday and I found him on the dining room table when I got up and went downstairs to get my caffeine infusion so yeah my wife doesn't tell me when I get items in the mail I can't tell you how many toy hacks decals I've almost thrown away so let's go ahead and cut this open it's sealed by XTransbots since 2008 let's see what we got ooh he's in foam you don't see that often anymore so here we got the instructions and we got a little card I'm not going to open all that just yet let's see if the card was metal or cardboard we have his weapons he's got a shark to con tail and his gun and there you have lock him that's a big figure you got lock himself get him out of here oh sweet that's awesome he's got two target masters he's got one two okay two different face sculpts and two different hands that's sweet like I said I have no idea what to expect with it and he's diecast this guy is heavy excuse me I've been holding that coffin for a while so this is really cool I can't get over how heavy this guy is where's something metal listen diecast man you cannot ever go wrong with diecast so like X Transbots thank you I definitely want to know the guy learn him a little bit and I will get that review up ASAP and that's it that's my haul from TF Con it wasn't a massive haul like some of the guys I know Burt when he started packing his stuff up and realizing how much he spent he was in the corner of the room just like it was fun it was worth it I mean we all saved up we all announced we saved up every month to go to this thing I mean other than putting the room on my credit card it was money that I saved that I did not touch our joint account with I told the wife I said this is my trip that I saved up for let me geek out and I want to affect our bill paying whatsoever so it's one of the advantages of doing a couple different jobs working full time and saving up for a responsible adult is what led to all this it's not that I'm YouTube rich by any means but I'm so glad that I actually was an adult this time reeled it in and saved up to get some awesome items that I cannot wait to get in front of the camera and do a full review for you guys and once again you guys you are why I do this and it was so awesome once again it was so many of you to shake your hand to say hi there was so many bro hugs given at TFCon there hadn't been a bro hug break it record oh and speaking of bros yesterday was the biggest mismatch of people you've probably ever seen in your life because there was a football game down the road that was playing at one o'clock yesterday so our hotel was full of Transformer fans and football fans and Bert and I are sitting at breakfast and we're trying to figure out the teams I don't know I'm not a sports guy I'm a big guy and everybody's like hey what team you like and I'm like the Avengers I'm not a sports guy I've never been a sports guy and Bert and I are on our phones trying to figure out okay well we got some fans in orange some fans in purple wonder who's playing and this guy and his son sitting at the table over are listening to us and he finally looks over and goes you guys don't know what teams is playing and we're like no that's why we're looking it up we're not into sports and he goes why you some of those comic book guys like no sir we're Transformer guys and the look on his face was just like just and he just kind of went back to eating and I was making fun of his voice for probably an hour hey what Transformers you got in that bag you make any good purchases today it was funny just I wish I had a camera for the look on his face it was like so many stories this video could go on and on forever with that so big shout out to TFCon thank you so much for hosting the event big shout out to the staff and volunteers I know we got fussed out a lot for not having our masks on but still you were doing your job and kudos to you big shout out to all the fans there was no issues we never saw any fights any arguments nothing everybody it was peace and harmony and just it was perfect it was a great event and as I've stressed in many videos we didn't give a damn what's your religion race color any of that stuff you are a Transformer fan you were one of us and we had a ball oh and we did the Pocky Chip Challenge if you saw that live the guy who watched at the end of the video he is fine we did a follow up video with him and he was a good sport he was like that was interesting I loved meeting you guys I will never eat one of those again I doubt if I ever eat anything spicy in my life ever again so all as well that ends well it's one for the record books it's one that I will always remember and I can't wait until the next one and as I will end this with the new slogan that we all joked about because of that individual it's just oh well when he collapsed we were so worried but he's fine he's great and in honor of you good sir don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe and always remember we almost killed a guy this is Patriot Prime signing out
