Hey what's going on guys, Pedro Prime here once again with a Thursday night sit rep and my special guest tonight is Captain Kyle from the channels Toy Spotlight and Fandom Spotlight. So Captain Kyle, we meet at long last once again. I was going to say we this is not our first meeting my friend we I have met you before you're very familiar. I first met this fine gentleman at TF Con 2019 in Reston we kind of hung out all weekend went to a great burger joint and did we get twice that you went with us once I know we went back for a second time I can't remember if you went the second time or not. I think I tried a Mexican place and then I was in the bathroom for a very long time. Yeah, we heard stories about that Mexican place. So how are you doing tonight? You know he's left for dead on the sands of Tatooine and you know ever since then my back's been hurting. No, doing well, doing well. Just crazy busy. I know normally I guess you do Friday nights but thank you for shifting it for me because I have a con tomorrow and I have a con you know con all weekend and then the weekend after that so. Which cons you're going to this weekend? Monster Mania. Oh it sounds like a blast. Cherry Hill, New Jersey they have a bunch of the actors from Dexter there. They have Anthony Michael Hall who you know when you were a geek in the 80s he was kind of like hey that's one of us. He was the geek of the 80s. He was the geek of the 80s. I find out he's not really a geek he's more into sports but it's like you know I find sports. Yes the sport thing apparently there's balls you know which I mean there are balls involved in other things too but apparently. You know I tell already this is going to be a normal sit rip because we are two minutes and 28 seconds in we're talking about balls. Yes that's how it works. So yes there's a bunch of actors going to be there and then the following weekend is a pandemic dead. Now I don't know if you recall but one of my personas on Phantom Spotlight is the governor and I'll be down there and I'll be doing a panel moderating with the great David Morrissey who is actually the actual governor so I haven't watched Walking Dan so long. It got depressing for a while and then it got better and now it's ending so. Now I think it's all on Netflix. I can probably catch up I need to. Yeah well the latest season only part of it if any is on Netflix but yeah talking about balls while drinking Dickens Cider. Ah Mick Ultra. I have some of these stairs. This is my it's actually a walking dead mug. It's hard to see in this lighting. You're teleporting there. Yeah I'm out to phase with reality. It actually it's hard to see but it says don't be a porch dick on it and it's filled with Pepsi Zero Pepsi Zero sugar so. With the the current gas prices I plan on being a porch dick all summer unless that changes. Well that's why I need to get sponsors for all my cons so pay me to go because I can't afford to drive. Yeah and I guess starting tonight is TF Khan in San Francisco or Los Angeles or yeah somewhere over on the coast. Somewhere that's too far to go to. Way too far to go. Yeah somebody asked me there are you all right am I gonna meet you at TF Khan over there. It's like nope that's a little too far from West Virginia for me. Well I have to say I went in the old days of Botcon. I went out to Botcon in Pasadena and it was a lot of fun. Weird Al was a guest. They had and he was on a panel of David Kay and he was just a lot of fun. I actually made him laugh. He's not like I'm laughing at this guy. He's like you know laughing with me because I asked him hey when are you gonna do a parody of Stan Bush's The Touch and he's like well you know I'm kind of waiting for the right time and you know and I said well you know when you do I already got lyrics for you. You've got to flush and you've got to jiggle. Yeah so and he laughed so it was a genuine laugh. I like the fact that they're coming out with that movie about him. I made him laugh twice in my life and you know I've made people laugh but usually for the wrong reasons. All right well let us get started on the mighty Sitrep here. For those of you who don't know about the Sitrep and pretty much everybody in my chat is series regulars but somebody may watch this later on is I have 10 questions for my guests. 10 questions regarding transformers. Five questions is regarding the toys and the other five questions is regarding him as a YouTuber and we will derail quite often that adds to the charm. So we will kick this off now with question number one. What is the appeal of transformers for you? The appeal. Oh transformers I've heard of those. Yeah I mean GoBots gave him a run for the money back in the day. They barely squeaked by the end. Yeah I don't know. I think GoBots just they didn't stand up. Transformers are me growing up. First of all I was a Star Wars guy. I had lots of Star Wars action figures. Got vehicles and all that. One of the appeals of course is the fact that when you have a transformer you have the action figure and he becomes his vehicle. He doesn't need to go you know hitch a ride. But also the story. I love the science fiction aspects of the story. These sentient robots on another planet. I've always been a sci-fi guy. So I think it was the appeal. The great story and these really cool robots that could become vehicles and the transformations were very clever and they're getting more clever all the time and sometimes a pain in the ass. But you know yeah that was pretty much it for me just seeing these really cool robots that could change. And I mean the casting was so well done. I mean Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, you know you had Scatman Crothers, you know Dan Gilvazen, all these great voices Michael Bay and I'm going to diss a little bit on the original Michael I did that Michael Bay didn't I? You said Michael Bay. I was letting it slack because I was waiting for the joke. Michael Bell, Michael Bay you know basically his voice was no Michael Bell. But the thing is I'm sure you've seen at least some of if not all of the War for Cybertron trilogy on Netflix. Oh yeah seen the whole thing and Howard threw it. I mean it's not it's not a horrible story. The pacing and that was so of the dialogue. The pacing in that show reminds me of my first videos when I first got on YouTube. Hi YouTube I am Patriot Prime and this is the figure I'm reviewing today. This is Wheeljack. Yeah that's how it was. Indeed and I know that these voice actors must have studied with William Shatner. It was just so many pauses in the dialogue and I mean the story wasn't bad but they could have trimmed it down. They could have gotten I don't know union voice actors you know but they didn't want to spend the money and whoever did the audio editing could have eliminated. I've done videos where I'll be saying and now we have this figure here and he's read and I can cut out the um and the pause and I do that all the time. Yeah and and you know they couldn't do that in friggin you know War for Cybertron and the thing is a lot of the voices sounded the same and that that's the thing it's like when you watch if you close your eyes watching the original G1 Transformers cartoon you hear a voice you know who it is. You know that's tracks talking to bumblebee my god do you see Starscreams over there but you know it's tracks and you know and then you hear you know Huffer whining and you you know you hear all this stuff you close your eyes with um you know War for Cybertron and it's like I have no idea who's speaking except for Megatron and Optimus did have distinct voices but Megatron killed me with the damn lips what was the idea what was the thought process let's make Megatron yeah I am constantly ready to take a selfie you talk about uh the voices from G1 when I was a kid of course I mentioned before I didn't have cable here so my only chance to watch the cartoon was at my grandparents house and you know that was every now and then I come here but I had a friend of mine who used a tape recorder if anybody in the chat remembers what those are and he would record on tape G1 episodes and get them to me at school and I would just lay there in my room at night and listen to those and like you said I knew who was talking my imagination is going wild trying to think what the action is but that's how I experienced a lot of my G1 shares but yeah it's just I am disappointed in the casting that they did for War for Cybertron definitely Rico if you play at one and a half speed it's it's it's much better and Optimus Prime sounds a little bit more like this I know who you are quick to sense that makes so much more sense and I know who you are it's like my god Pan you speed it up I have a ship to run here I need to get through this episode yeah I never thought what happened but I think it was earth rise I binged it all one night but during the middle this happened and I don't think I've ever fell asleep watching the transformers before I mean there's been some great transformers shows I mean and usually they have distinct voices transformers animated another great one where David Kaye was confused when they're like wait they want me for Optimus and not Megatron wait and I just reviewed a figure from Prime and it's I enjoy the start the Megatron from animated Starscream you're such an idiot you know I love his voice and animated the the large I get was a leader leader class back in the day that's the only animated figure I have is the leader class dual helicopter yep I have the the regular and I got the shadow blade Megatron just recently he's he's a very cool purple yeah the purple and black and it's like they were thinking about calling him Galvatron I I I could swear but they decided not to oh you speak talk about cool collars I cannot wait to get this let me share a screen real quick they just announced this G1 collared Megatron whoops oh whoops hold on it's flickering a bit but it is let me try it again my system does it from time to time let's see if this will work there we go yes this thing just looks glorious and this is from who new age they're the ones that do these smaller legends class Megatrons and I have been it's one of the things I have always wanted is a G1 comic Megatron you know it's the blue helmet or the black helmet I just love that I am all over this figure when it comes out it's up for pre-order right now on show z store.com no uh use coupon code Patriot Prime to get zero percent off yeah zero percent it's only a dollar down that's cool to do it yeah that looks like a very cool version I know my internet of course everybody's asleep now I did this earlier of course last time I did a stream we decided or I decided my infinite wisdom to get my the con bros together and we were going to kind of mystery science theater 3000 a G1 episode we made it 20 minutes in and YouTube well probably five minutes into the show and YouTube shut us down copyright violation and we didn't even have the sound play and we were talking over at the whole time they still got us yeah yeah you got to be careful about that type of thing you can use clips like I use G1 show clips in my videos all the time but you got to keep them short you know oh I know I do I do it too yeah it's definitely something you want to you know be very careful of um but I thought with as many like videos like the kill count that shows the pretty much the whole movie you got reaction videos you got movie reviews I thought you know with us in it talking over it I don't see the problem but I was wrong well with the live stream um they will just shut you down with a reaction video because as you know I do the governor and I do make reaction videos I get copyright claimed all the time not copyright strikes but claims where they either restrict where it's able to be viewed or they try to take my money trying to take my money you know I don't make a lot as it is they want my 38 cents I know so it's uh and I usually fight sometimes I win but yeah it's reaction videos get copyright claimed all the time it's just when you're doing something where you're actually showing uh you know it live they kind of shut you down it's not like they can do it I have a special I'm sorry I have a special response video for the rumble is red frenzy is blue thing and okay I thought ahead and I actually made it one of these so I can't get kicked off is that is that is that yeah so are you saying that rumble is blue yes because I agree that's the only way oh and uh real quick if you went to TF con 2019 this was the limited edition figure this is the same company that's making that marvel comic megatron it's going to be the same character or the same figure same old just different same old and everything just in Marvel comic collars yeah I actually have that and it's on my list to review I know other people reviewed it months ago and I just seriously don't give a fuck I'm just going to review it when I want to review it you know it's like every now and then I'll bust my butt to get like one of the new figures all right I got a new figure let's get it out right now and it doesn't do near as well is something from 30 years ago yep the prime example I just did uh the new brawn from the bumblebee movie that came out you know with uh ratchet and wheel jack hardly any hits whatsoever reviewed the g1 minibots oh yeah I actually did pretty well with my uh review of the studio 86 star screen but it also took it at a slightly different angle it wasn't just a review it's like saying it's just worth getting because I watched I watched that today I did not realize how much I mean it's the same damn figure and it was less pain applications and I know I missed the hands in the video that the hands are articulated more on the studio 86 but uh but yeah but go on I'm sorry you were saying about my video if you have not subscribed to toy spotlight do yourself a favor and do so because he has a unique way of filming and I think it's very entertaining I the thing is there's lots of people who are like all right I have the figure right here and you can transform him you can move his arm and they're they're very dry very matter of fact and sometimes that the information is all you need me I'm like you know this is hate plague Grimlock yeah we didn't get to see him on what you said today it cracked me up because you were doing something with that star screen like I don't give a shit you just and that's why we have the must be 13 to watch and from our videos well we only 20 minutes on question number one you want to move to question number two real quick sure sure fine be that way you might have a do we have a time limit on this no okay I just got to go a bit sometime before midnight maybe aside from g1 which is always the number one answer what's your favorite transformers fiction um I really have to say it's tough but it has to be well are we considering beast forage g1 because it's no no the question is aside from g1 which is always the number one answer what's your favorite transformers fiction so that could be anything with the transformers title on whether it be comic book beast wars base machines I would I would have to say it's tough but beast wars would be next followed very closely by transformers animated because I thought that was so well done and such a unique style so but I would have to go beast wars it took me such a long time to get into animated but I think about after the sixth episode I was hooked I think once Megatron came more into play it just seemed to get a lot more serious then because I've mentioned this before my big problem with all these new transformer shows that come out is they're so kitty-fied but then about halfway through season one the writers are like oh hey man the kids aren't even watching these I couldn't get my son to watch a cartoon now for nothing he's so buried into his damn switch so I told him the other day there's a new Ryan Reynolds movie coming out on Netflix where it's a kid and he meets his future self or something and I said I really don't watch that movie Dylan I told him I said we're watching a movie tomorrow night and I don't want to see you even look at that switch it's cool we are watching a daddy Dylan movie night is this against a Geneva convention or what it might be you know I was a kid I was always in the cartoons Dylan runs home it's it's switch time uh what else I thought with animated too took me forever I just couldn't grasp that animated style I just thought it was just too weird and then once you get into the story and like you said fantastic voice actors mm-hmm yeah and the figures look like you know the actual cartoon you know it's like they matched it so well you know if you have you only have one I have pretty much all of them I think I don't have a leader class bulkhead but I think other than a leader class bulkhead I have all of them and you know there were so many G1 Easter eggs hit into it I remember there was an episode where some somebody made mutant monsters and they look like the pretender monsters yep and then absolutely weird Al yank of the weird Al episode where he was a garbage truck as Wreck Gar and you can't get that figure for under a hundred bucks anymore I never took mine out of the box it's sitting very nicely on the shelf sealed in box because it's so pretty nice um yeah it's uh I also have my um my samurai prowl my original one still in the package I managed to pick up another one so I could have one loose you know and I got there was a lot of figures from that show that didn't even make it into the show I remember there was a weird motorcycle guy that looked like mr freeze he had like a you're talking about lockdown he was in there no it was a motorcycle um oh oh oil slick I think okay yeah that was it he was in there for like one episode he was uh one of the decepticons who fought Rodimus um on that asteroid when he was there with brawn and uh I think ironhide was there there was basically a battle between decepticons yeah oil slick um yeah there was a battle between Rodimus and a bunch of Autobots fighting decepticons and oil slick was one of them and there was just a whole bunch of uh decepticons and oil slick um ended up dropping some cosmic rust on poor Rodimus who I have to check I think Tubi has those I need to sit down watch it someday with yeah drink some beer and don't like Ian yeah and Rodimus yeah yeah cosmic rust was another Easter egg but then yeah Rodimus had this like bow and arrow type thing he was like you know super like he was kind of like the green arrow you know Hawkeye all right well yeah moving back to figures do you have a favorite figure or grail in your collection a figure you would never let go of um here Timothy I don't know if this will work but that worked I actually don't uh I don't know of any figure that I wouldn't part with at all um my favorite transformer of all time is tracks um a flying friggin car you take it's basically trussing over transformers and mask and you know um I loved dressing up as tracks at TFcon which was extremely huh and then you helped me uh get the um the water out of my costume afterwards um yeah I wouldn't say that there's any one particular figure that I wouldn't give up there's a lot that I love um I really love all the flip changers from uh machine wars and Beast Wars 2 and uh robot masters you know there's figures that I really love and I love to fill around with but I can't say that there's one that I would not you know part with you know if someone came and offered me the right amount of money I would probably be like okay there you go it's like we discussed behind the scenes uh before we started with your uh Buster and Hydra yeah I again for those who don't know out there who haven't watched my channel I complained about this a lot at one point to add every single usg one every single usg two every single us beast wars I had all the beast wars to accept the the mail away stuff same thing with Beast Wars Neo all the robots in disguise they had everything complete up through our moda Cybertron right up to the movie movie where is where I started skipping figures but I had everything and then I had a lot of uh Japanese ones European ones and I decided that it was more important to uh get into a better financial position and I was never going to touch all my G1s again because they were so fragile and I sold the majority of them I had Thunderwing I you know Pludgeon I had all the ones that people drool over I had them complete 100 percent I mean yeah so what's your grail oh man that would be my 100 complete unbroken monstructor there you go I had that that's the other special one is my MP01 Optimus Prime that my wife bought for me while I was in Iraq and Timothy yeah buddy yeah we uh I have an MP oh the very first um Masterpiece Optimus Prime as well I was not in Iraq when I got it thank you for your service sir um my father served at the very end of world war two so navy man I'll have to show you this awesome my dad or both my grandparents served in world war two uh my dad served in Vietnam I served in Iraq my brother served in Iraq and my dad I don't know where he went uh the same weekend I went to Big Lit Comic Con and he found this bayonet replica it's a letter opener and since even got the spot I had upside down where the barrel goes in this thing is just sweet that's my new toy hacks open and full all right now who was where was a fire tox g1 overlord is ppr's grail it's not my grail it's my most wanted figure full of my grail I have it but um I I had a g1 overlord it was the uh european version and I think I might have been missing a couple pieces but I sold that for a pretty penny now nagging guy right here during the awesome Darth Vader impersonation from star wars episode three he lent me his overlord so I could review it and I was never so scared in my life reviewing a figure god please don't break so I don't know if I'll ever get back to them but I was doing documentaries on some of the uh transformers like Megatron because I went up to this guy you might have heard from Bob Budiansky I went up to his house went up to his house interviewed him in his living room talking about different transformers like Megatron and how Megatron was almost not Megatron's name because Hasworth thought it was too scary at first and uh he's like before I come up with a name why no oh too scary and he's like he's a leader of the bad guys it should be a little scary and they're like oh you're right okay we'll use that name so Megatron was almost not Megatron it was initially rejected but um I was doing when I did the story of Megatron I had all these different Megatron toys and I had a G1 and some of these because I sold off mine I had to borrow and my friend Tony and Rose were kind enough to lend me a Diaclone version of Megatron the Walther you know pre Megatron it was basically like a uh black and brown version and I went to put the gun in its hand they said don't transform him he's very fragile and I didn't but I went with the gun in its hand and the hand cracked I was like Tony Tony was cool about it he's like yeah you know I understand it's he's very fragile it's okay um I gave him all the pieces you know just like the broken up piece of hand but it was like I felt so bad I was willing I have a uh ihabi Megatron the black and the brown and I said you know do you want this because I broke yours he's like no no no it's fine so now Burt I think this is what nagging guys talking about are elites Burt has a copy of Megatron that still fires the little plastic bullets oh yeah when they did the reissue of Megatron they actually came with plastic bullets I think that's the one he does have my ihabi um black and brown one I have the bullet somewhere but yeah you put it bullet in and fires across the room yeah lag bait remembers that I remember asking pager if he was scared handling on that video yeah I was you don't want to break someone else's toy so I'm always extremely careful luckily my friends Tony and Rose they run retro con which definitely if you haven't been to retro con you need to get to it it's this September and they have raffles one of the prices is a um generation select black xeric they have venus churzo the lovely venus churzo showing up as one of the guests and there are more guests to be announced now where's retro con again is it pennsylvania yeah it is in oak's pennsylvania so it's uh not too far from philly but it's not in philly so parking is free they have some very affordable hotels right nearby right by the convention center and honestly don't tell any of the other cons but it's my favorite con ever and also if you go there you'll hear me on the plate ladies and gentlemen it is now time for the 315 raffle please take out your blue tickets I am the voice of retro con you are the voice let's see I'm gonna see right now how far oak's pennsylvania is for me and it's also uh I've also last year got to moderate a bunch of panels um Ian james uh correlate the voice of cheetor um william cat the greatest american hero that was awesome george low I got to do his panel he's a hilarious guy the voice of space ghost so yes gas will be the most important thing carpool with friends if you can six and a half hours for me 403 miles that's that's kind of towards the limit of how far I will drive before I'm like yeah I'm taking a plane I'm too old for this shit so um tf con wasn't too bad I drove all by myself that was five hours even it was funny I mean it was just to to the t by the time I left the house where counting gas stops I think I stopped twice no well stopped once to get a refill on some caffeine and filled up once and yeah five hours even so it wasn't too bad I mean I sung to myself a lot yeah I drive out to uh steel city con which is about five five to six hours um and I'll be doing that next month so yes I go to all of that kinds of cons um meet all kinds of people um someone actually who was at steel city was like I left a comment in one of my videos and it was like were you there at steel city I could have swore that it was you it's like yeah that was me should have said hi it's like I will next time so yeah but uh yeah I mean if you can you know if you have friends who lived here you want to go you know then they could chip in for gas because yeah and hopefully by September something will have uh you know been resolved by then though if if they're still fighting in the streets of Ukraine in September then those Ukrainians are bigger heroes than I even think they are now because to last that long against Russia you know if in September they're like you know still unresolved then yeah yeah definitely props them because it definitely took a Russia by surprise I saw a video uh the other day there were some Russian tanks going through the streets and just all of a sudden out of nowhere just Molotov cocktails just just tore them up yeah yeah so I you know it's one thing to invade a country it's one thing to even conquer it it's another thing to hold it so as the US has also learned but all right we're moving on back to figures again let's ask what is your uh got self-tongue type what figure is your white whale your most wanted figure you go to a con you got the money you see this guy you're definitely picking him up now this one for me is the g1 overlord and if you'd seen me some years ago you would have been like ah but you know I I can't say that it would be any price but I want the uh the titans returns or whatever series it was the metro plex I missed out on that and I need that metro plex in fact in many of my videos I worried about it I don't have a metro plex um you want me to pick mine up and show you no no please don't because uh you're probably a lot of people skip out on that and that that's a very very most wanted figure right now I know if he's still in the chat fire talks just recently picked one up I'll know yeah there he is he just got one I think he fire talks do you get that from japan or something I know he he thought it was lost forever yeah fire talks was with us at tf con I can't remember if you met him or not I don't recognize the name but he could have been well we didn't call him by that yeah I you know that's like gi joe we just call each other by our code names Patriot let's move okay captain yeah um yeah so that would be the one if I saw it and it was reasonable or you know if uh if I get enough money from youtube then I will be picking up a uh a metro plex there you go deluxe has five of them 500 h that is uh I'm looking more for like 300 you know it's like I know when it came out it was like 120 130 and spending almost four times that it's like but maybe one day I will give in you know I actually got mine as a parting gift I worked at a gym for 10 years hard to believe now looking at me but when the wife was pregnant and I was like you know the gym's a fun job but just doesn't pay enough and everybody in the classes I teach chipped in and got that metro plex for me that's sweet and he was one of my first toy hacks and then of course I got the upgrade said I'm in everything and just randomly I think it was when was it last year sometime somebody asked do you have the head of the titan mix metro plex I was like you're looking for just the head you're like yeah because I had the head in my parts bed I think I got a hundred dollars just for the head of that figure nice there is something that I have to I have the upgrade kit is partially attached I got to just you know familiarize myself with all the differences but I did pick up a uh a grand max the new one okay so the the old one I'm not telling you where they live but Tony Rose they have an original grand max they have an original black xeric you know they they have some they're pretty much yeah I have I have the new one but they have the original the one that they have to be very careful about because of the gold plastic but anyways yeah so much it was good head Kato not the kind you buy here we go no teeth no teeth what if she sneezes anyway all right Sunday night pray for that gas so where are we at what well I don't know all right this is our last this is our last toy question I think you already answered this earlier what's your favorite transformer character any fiction in a media well it's going to be tracks absolutely he's like a young Thurston Howell my god have you seen my stunning automode that is a cool costume did you did you place a tf con of course there were some awesome costumes I did not place um I I don't there were there were some great costumes that sound wave was incredible um yeah I mean it was tough competition but uh yeah that that costume is in my garage I need to redesign it or recreate it in different materials so that it won't kill me to wear it so I may have to sell the original so I've always wanted to do a costume but I I run at high temperatures I get hot so easy that's why anytime you see me I'm always in shorts I just I can't I drive my co-workers nuts at works because oh Riko hit us with a super chat tracks the old Harvard lockjaw well thank you very much Riko for the super chat and I got a new one that I have for you as a super chat award tonight had to change the music I got copyrighted last time yeah um never show that one again oh I've got worse hey Rodimus is in the chat hey Rodimus how are you tonight buddy he goes to retro con a lot yes he'll definitely be there so yeah that's why you gotta come that's why everyone should come to retro god September it is in September so you got some time to save some pennies all right time to buy a bike all right well we are halfway there we're at the halfway point and I think right now would be a good time for a giveaway I have got as usual some toy hacks clear backed Decepticon insignias or logos in multiple sizes for your transformer figures that don't have any con symbols and I will give these away third party third party what's that third party third party oh yeah third point where's my I need to ask them if they can give me a logo I can make a t-shirt out of so yes these are toy hacks so if you've never had toy hacks details before this is a good opportunity to see what they're like and put in the comment section hashtag Decepticons forever capital B capital F and I will do the drawing we're at 4255 I will draw at 45 minutes in where do I get those toy hacks labels I don't know I don't know if you saw do you see the short I made on that I did I cannot tell you how many times I will post a toy hacks video if you ever see my toy hacks videos I have a picture on the thumbnail of the robot mode toy hacks stuff the vehicle mode toy hacks stuff the toy hacks logo in the corner of the thumbnail in the title it says toy hacks decals set for megatron and inevitably someone where do you get those exactly silver t-mats right then there you go they're putting it in there Decepticons forever Craig there's no space yeah yeah get rid of that space put put in there again there's no space Decepticons forever one word capital D capital F so years ago I used to run a site called Robo base and basically one of the things you could do on it it had a searchable database of all the tech specs so you could actually type in any character and you could see and click on the tech spec get all the information all the ratings all that stuff and I had a couple mouse pads made and I took a picture of ravage from Beast Wars and put Decepticons forever underneath it and it said of course under that robo base dot com but yeah that's uh it's a great saying that that's one I did a review on the the new ravage and I thought it was going to do much better than it did you know but my I got the core class ravage and the core class sound wave at the same time ravage did much better in sound or shockwave I guess everybody's like shockwaves is a legend class fuck it guy nobody wanted to watch it yeah well I did them together I did them together and uh basically complained about what the hell is this alt mode toaster ravage well he's a kitty he can hide in his inbox we've got to put the litter in it all right well it's 45 so let's draw let me do a share screen once again hopefully I won't kick myself off my my internet tends to do that so I like uh I don't know if you've ever seen how the share the share screens work on stream yard or the giveaway tool is awesome so what we have right here is the broadcast tonight as ppr presents the sitrep a toy spotlight hey that's you the match text as I said is

let's see boom craig oxford now aren't you glad I told you to correct your spelling craig reach out to me on facebook or instagram or however you want to reach out to me and I will get these decepticon logos heading your way we might do another drawing for the end of the night I got plenty of stickers I asked toy hacks for stickers right before I went to TF con and they obliged but they sent them two weeks after I got back so I've got a few so you're like here well I can't get samples to anybody shit I figured this is a fun way to do that so congratulations craig put those inside yeah I might have to contact them I uh you watch the aerial bot review and silverbolt doesn't have the big auto bot symbols on his wings so I might need to replace those flame you talk about quick switch I actually have one right here I'm going to attempt to repair I was showing this to captain Kyle I was given a bunch of g ones from a guy at work they were all broken missing parts this guy I think is salvageable he's got right there his leg the peg broke off inside the leg I have the spring and everything needed so I even pushed it real tight together and see if it works it will click it will ratchet I even have these two guns so if I can find some kind of super plastic epoxy I should be able to fix this guy pretty good I'm really good at repairing g ones it's been a long time since I've done a broken ones all right so where were we let's pull uh where's my question so now we're on to the next five questions now we're on to the youtube stuff and this is always a good one let me move my microphone back for you hear me what possessed you a grown ass man to do toy reviews on youtube who's a grown ass man exactly um actually I have another channel other than toy spotlight called fan of spotlight which is much bigger more more successful it kind of poo poo's toy spotlight so yellow bro one day you'll catch up and toy spotlights like fuck you but uh yeah I have multiple personalities anyway um I just obviously I've been a Transformers fan since 1984 and I started collecting Transformers again after I sold a huge portion of my collection I stopped collecting I missed that on a lot of stuff and then the bug hit me again these new toys came out and I'm like I need to get some of these and when I started getting them I'm like I have a channel let's do some toy reviews and I started doing toy reviews on fan of spotlight and I'm like whoa what am I fucking doing um one of the problems on youtube is having too wide of a niche if you're like if you're not focused on something like if you have a toy channel and you're focused on toys that's great if you're focused on toys and dice and um fig you know like hobby horses and you know wooden nickels if you're focused on too many things you don't get the following you don't get the concentration fandom spotlight started out as cosplay and it turned into celebrity interviews and it has reactions and has all these other things and I'm like I'm going to make this friggin channel broader so that's when I decided to start up Toy Spotlight but there's still some Transformers stuff on there it's just I've always loved them and you know I just said you know I'm starting to get these I think my first one was a a fake was a third party devastator the robot force one and it did uh wood nickels would be a heck of a niche um very concentrated very specific um don't don't mess with wooden dimes but yeah it's funny also in that same vein I discovered when you do review toys and figures you can get stuck in a niche and you review anything else that just didn't do the hits I mean I've pretty much established pretty much established myself as a transformer reviewer so anytime I review something else I mean I'll have my transformer figure reviews they're like this you throw in a neck a figure just bottoms out and that's why I got a full collection well a lot of the masters universe origins I love those figures I reviewed one got like a hundred hits in three days I was like screw it these are just for me to collect and enjoy and throw up kind of like the neck and now I reviewed a few of the terminator figures just because I freaking love terminator it's right up there favorite robots ever but like I got the predators and aliens and I just never reviewed those and same with like horror figures I have so mine mainly just reviews transformers well the reason I called myself toy spotlight was so that I could do other things and I've had a few lego things on there I didn't do those because I'm not a lego guy but I have a friend really into lego and he's done a few reviews there I reviewed a couple star wars things and so did my girlfriend she did some stuff and they've actually not done too badly and I I got sent for free this attacker robot I don't know if you saw that review you probably didn't watch it it's basically yeah look on my channel it's this robot ape thing that has a remote control and it looks like this tough meme warrior like optimus prime prime long steroids I dare you that would be hilarious um but then the uh it sings friggin baby shark it's like the weirdest friggin thing but they sent it to me and they're like we'll send you this free toy that sells for 50 bucks and you can review it and I'm like okay so I did the review I was obligated to do that you know it didn't uh yeah adult toys um I did recently just talk about the massager but yeah same thing somebody's I know the guy who does alternation toys I interviewed him at C2E2 he wanted to do another interview he sent me the first set of their toys and I reviewed them on the channel it's got some views but yeah transformers is definitely the bread and butter on toy spotlight now adult toys I do want to say um one of the comments on my star scream because I mentioned how my girlfriend has a I will take your word for it um my girlfriend has an unhealthy obsession with star scream and so one of my uh regular commenters said that he dated a girl who also had an unhealthy obsession with star scream and it apparently used a classic star scream in ways it was not meant to be used I imagine things got a little bit sticky um yeah that's bad comedy yeah um masturbation star scream this is bad comedy yes uh but anyways um yeah so that's got she does not have the star scream buddy pillow deluxe does with the hole anyway it didn't start out that way but now there's one okay uh so anyway that's what got me into I just you know love transformers I was already doing YouTube I'm sure they did I'm sure a lot of them have holes in them now and there you go I love that damn pillow fuck yeah you do it's a little squishy now makes little moist noises but all right is there another question before we got four more okay what an interesting time uh what keeps inspiring you to get in front of the camera now I know with fandom spotlight now that I enjoy that because you got the interviews you got the shows and stuff like that but I I envy all right just I have a hard enough time working one channel you guys who do two like you got a fandom spotlight you do the toy spotlight then you got Rodimus Rodimus does his retrospective on his regular channel he does his movie reviews like your Batman review by the way three hours is still awful long time to sit in the theater so anyway what keeps inspiring you get in front of that camera um desire to get rid of the day job one day I want to be just like Rodimus Primal and have no other job at YouTube I aspire to be Rodimus Primal okay maybe maybe more hair but you know but yeah I mean that that is the goal um between fandom spotlight and toy spotlight I believe eventually it will make money I'm working on trying to find like sponsors building a team and basically I want fandom spotlight to wipe the floor with places like what culture and you know and uh those recently I I've been a fan or subscribe to what culture and loop run all that and I finally have unsubscribed from them because the simple fact saying new movies coming out within a day of that new movie the what's behind the secret ending of Batman or no show a damn screenshot to show you some kind of spoiler I'm like you motherfuckers so that's it well what culture had a guy in there who I really enjoyed his videos until he basically was dissing transformers the movie and calling it you know the worst you know hour and a half long toy commercial ever and it's like I'll him's fighting words yeah it's like no no no I mean I didn't just stop after he said that but it was like I enjoyed his videos a little less after that so yeah um but no I I'm hoping that fandom spotlight becomes the premier con coverage celebrity type channel and toy spotlight eventually just becomes one of the top you know transformers and toy channels out there it is fun I hope you don't look at my videos and think I'm having a miserable time making them I can tell you're having it like I said I just love your approach like you're talking to camera and then you've got that side angle yep and I'll like all right I'm going to very carefully rip over this motherfucker and you know it's like I don't see I don't want to take it too seriously you know because they're toys I mean I love the toys they're awesome toys and I don't want anyone breaking my toys because I will find you and I will kill you if you break my toys and say Rodimus has a point too you have to have fun doing this you don't want to think about this god I gotta burn review this figure because there's been nights I'm like man I am putting thing up in three days I need to go review something I'm like no that's not the right mindset for reviewing a figure because if you're aggravated or something or just feel like you're rushing it it is going to show through on your video so well I find that once I start doing the video though I get into the flow so I feel I'm tired but I told my editor I do have a I work with an editor for a lot of the toy spotlight stuff great guy whose name Nick he does a rough cut does the main zooms you know gives me that and I add b-roll do a little tweaking add the bumpers and it makes my life that's how I can do two channels but uh yeah there have been times I'm like uh I really need to do this video and I'd go downstairs and I do the video then like I'm gonna do another one this is awesome because I enjoy doing it so yeah definitely if I didn't enjoy it I would I would find something else or I would make may do all the videos and I would just say I've already built up the audience you you now go make me money and sit back but uh that must be nice to have an editor well I guess I do have one let me go let me grab you real quick hi I'm the editor oh you know are you related to uh Jason cousin by marriage uh cousin by marriage I'm West Virginia remember cousin by marriage and by uh Bob blood yeah this is my wife and cousin and there's one person standing there but but yeah so having an editor helps I do a lot of the editing um for everything on fandom spotlight now Timothy it's funny you mentioned that because I just recently did the toy hacks video for the set they did for city 86 86 cup and somebody in the comments says I don't remember you reviewing that figure and like well I didn't I opened him up I thought he sucked not just like I'm not we can waste my time with this one I need to just know how to transform something well sometimes before I will be comfortable enough reviewing it but I I have some neat things on the horizon this one is a challenging transformation I've had him a few days and at first I couldn't transform him for nothing and it took me a while and I'll admit I don't watch other reviews of a figure that I'm going to review because I want everything I say about you know that's my opinion I don't want to see say Bert and hoist you know everybody else I know who reviews these guys I'll wait until after I review and then see what they have to say just cause I want my review to be fresh and I for life me cannot figure out the transformation of the head for this guy it's showing snap in place in the instructions and as you can see that's not snapping in place what's but it works so I will watch the just transform it videos those are extremely helpful they're like they're yeah yeah yeah and they're like okay now you do and you do that and it's like and I'll pause it and I'll on a few of them I've had to do that now Larkin's got the good idea he transforms it transforms it on camera but doesn't say anything and then speeds it up like three times fast so it's just like okay here it is like there you go that way you're not sitting there going and now you do this and flip this and rotate this and I call pegs tabs and tabs holes and so well sometimes I'm like I haven't transformed this in so long I gotta figure it out so I know Nick is sitting there like I just tell him the transformations I'm just reviewing the figure I'm not showing them necessarily how to transform it sometimes I will yeah that's what I figured out okay so everybody agrees with me that's that's what goes cause the instructions don't show it that way and as anybody else's ratchet it's like a hula girl you put on the dash of your car it's just very flippity floppity I'm so waiting for those figures I ordered them off uh pulse I order my I've discovered with Hasbro pulse not Hasbro pulse entertainment earth if you order a case of figures you get a lot faster than you do the individuals so I just ordered the case and if I get like an extra one or something I'm a very fan I'll just sell it or flip it around I ain't got time to do all that I'm running two channels man I ain't got time to do retail all right let's jump to question number seven real quick while we're talking about channels there are thousands of toy reviewers on YouTube what makes you different from the rest and I will say it's your talking to this camera and then talking to this camera so that's and then not giving a fuck it's like now I think every every youtuber who does join videos has their own unique personality and there are some people who love watching my reviews because of the personality and you know some people like me some people don't you know people like me come back and they watch it even if they've already seen someone else's review you know even if they already have the figure or don't care about the figure they're like I'm gonna watch review anyway because Kyle's gonna say some shit about this figure well that that's what was said to me years ago when I first got started I mean I was only reviewing generation one figures and uh somebody asked me says how come you never review the new ones I think siege was just coming out and I said well everybody else reviews the new figures nobody's gonna watch me do it and the guy told me says I don't watch your reviews for the figure I'll watch it for you and that just that stuck and then as I started developing more I decided I wanted to be more of a personality than just hands in front of the screen with a robot so well that's exactly why I do my I'm showing you the figure here and then I'm turning to the camera over here and because I don't want it to just be you know I've seen those videos where they're holding the figure in front of themselves and they're manipulating it and they're saying now the leg can move back and forth and you can bend it at the you know I don't want to be that guy I want you to see me I want you to see the expressions on my face when I do shit I want to mess up you know and it's like you know I want you to have an experience it's not you're just getting a review and I'm getting my my take did I disappear no you just froze for a second I guess it's that trans bull drive you're stuck in damn it will Jeff what are you doing oh yeah so I'm not trying to just give the information I also like to throw in fun facts you know fun with flags over here yeah so but I'll talk about the different all the time talk about the constructed cons and how their origin is like it's this or it's that or it could be this or it could be the other thing and you can you sneak it in so matter of fact like with your aerial bot review today you mentioned well he doesn't come with the Rolls Royce chest I mean only us old G wonders really got that one yep yeah a little little Easter egg just you know having fun and yeah I think I think it's all about personality and that's also the difference between Phantom Spotlight and Toy Spotlight because Phantom Spotlight I got the interviews of the celebrities I got these great panel videos from cons but people who come to Phantom Spotlight to watch panel videos they don't care that it's on Phantom Spotlight if it's on another channel they'll watch it there if songs it's good quality good audio you know quality matters when it comes to that stuff but nobody cares that it's Phantom Spotlight recording the video you know I was so bummed where Rodimus myself Bert to Stormtrooper Deluxe hoist you know we all got to be part of a panel at TF Con nobody filmed it I think Rodimus's dad did but the audio just sucks I'm like that's my first ever guest at a panel and the whole thing like well you should have talked to me because I figured you guys had made arrangements you know I was there I had to buy surprise and my favorite most about it was people stayed to listen to us yeah I've had some great fan panels lots of cons by now I'll be doing one down at Phantemic on the walking dead reactions and that was a big one too yelling through the tent on her face well I had you know I had to hook up in the back where I could have recorded the audio direct from the microphones so I could have gotten you perfect you know so next time they do that I'm going to probably be recording other stuff anyway but yeah if you watch like Bob Budianski's panel or any of the voice actor panels my audio that that's what that's what gets me on phantom spotlight heads and shoulders above the rest because I went to awesome con and there's a show Riverdale you probably don't watch or are you too busy reading comments no I just had a people pop up and read I'm sorry so there's a show Riverdale that you probably don't watch I don't really watch it either I've heard of it but but it's popular so I went to their panel two Riverdale actors up there and I'm recording it there's a guy in the same row as me also recording the panel also a 4k camera in fact the camera he's using is my secondary camera that's in my bag that's just about as good as the one I was using he put his recording up an hour before I put mine mine had his has like 12 000 views right now but you know not not not too bad let's see if I go to take a quick look here um mine has 970 000 views so there's a reason for that because I went up and I had a sound recorder right next to the speaker picking up quality sound there are comments on his video where people like I can't watch this it sounds horrible and there's people saying hey I found it on fan with spotlight you should go there so but he got his video up an hour before I got mine up and 12 000 views 970 000 you know audio is key if people can't hear you and they're not gonna watch so and it's it's a learning process I see Timothy right here he's replying to slow decay how he'd like to get started in reviews well the only way to get started in reviews just do it yeah start and you don't have to invest in a lot of stuff like my setup that I do I have a white vinyl background three walmart five dollar desk lamps as my lighting from the angles and then one of those ring lights and my cell phone and there you go yeah that's all you need and it's all practice yeah your first couple videos are going to suck and but you learn as you go you learn editing tricks you learn how to you know your your style you will fall into a groove me it took me about a year when I finally discovered this is how I'm going to do it and now I've kind of with whatever I'm reviewing I have my a different style for each thing like when I do a g1 review I'm going to show the figure I'm going to give you the brief history of that figure of that character in the cartoon then marvel comics and then I go into the review for the new figures here he is in the box here he is with what he comes with a box and I display or go over him how he's in the package so on so forth toy hacks videos you don't even see my face here's the figure here's the decals before and after so you kind of fall into it yeah I have versus reviews which are different than my regular reviews because I'm basically putting up two different figures I was actually thinking that Pepsi Prime you just recently reviewed which is a fun figure absolutely a fun figure I had that because I got it at the botcon that they were actually selling it for 25 bucks a piece at because you could win it and you could buy it at botcon but I also have the Japanese version so I'm seeing you do this review and I'm like you know I could do a review of mine but then I'm like but not gonna do it right now but I said but I can do a versus review I can take the Japanese one in the US one and go through it piece by piece and see what the differences are you know and show the differences and I think yeah if you're gonna do videos you don't have to start with the best cameras I I started doing videos I had this relatively cheap HD camera I mean now that I've been doing it a while now that there's 42,000 subscribers on you know a fan of spotlight I now in my studio I have a green screen wall I have the backdrops that I can pull down I'm using a Panasonic GH5 shooting in 4k I'm recording via a lav mic going into a zoom h4n and I'm worried if I'm wearing a black shirt and I got Lynn on it I'm like yeah you know I guess I have all those just for that simple reason I have cats so it's like fuck it whatever am I sure but yeah I have you know a table set up I have actual you know adjustable lights but that's not how I started and you don't have to start with top of the line upgrade as you go along yep you know eventually here because I have an L-shaped disc so right here this is me in front of the camera and all I gotta do is turn around and there is my setup as you can see I'm set up for another toy hacks video but I've got there's your desk lamp there's your desk lamp there's your desk lamp right there and then I have the ring light that you put right in front let me zoom out here the ring light that you'll mount your phone in and that's what I look through to do the videos so and that's it there's no big studio or nothing we're not have this and then of course I have an editing pro I do all my editing on my computer some people I know Kato he does always editing on his phone he has the power director which is really fun I use that for some videos but I just big old monster hands here I have a hard time editing on my phone now maybe if I did on a tablet or something a little bit better yeah I do everything on my computer I use Adobe Premiere yeah it's uh but yeah there's people with expensive setups there's people with cheap setups so you know it's but with the way phones are nowadays the quality on those phones is incredible uh mine is a galaxy s10 it does the HDR which is like your full hd and I look at full hd compared to 4k it's the same thing I've noticed no I did a couple 4k videos they take like double the time to load and I compare them to an all a full hd I notice no difference so well the reason I use uh I use 4k is if you notice in my videos I'll be talking and I'm getting closer and I'm getting close you know I'm zooming in and the zoom level will change but there's no loss in resolution because I since I'm shooting in 4k I'm rendering in hd I can zoom in twice as as close on a figure and it's still sharp unless you have no focus because wonky for a minute but you know my biggest issue with my camera is when I film red figures and for some reason my saturation can't grasp the red and it looks like the figure's blinking I think for life we can't figure how to fix that now recently when I got this new backdrop it's got a little bit of edge to it actually I went to hobby lobby and my background is that white vinyl that you use for like marine boats so I can actually clean this if I drop something on spill something on so I got that and ever since I got this it helps a little bit so I don't know if the camera's focusing on something else in the background anytime I get a red figure I'm like oh god I'm filming red figures but who'd I just film every day wasn't bad inferno the original g1 inferno here was another red one I did yeah it'll I also have I also have someone who does some wonderful color correction for me um because in post after after I do my video you know it looks okay to me but then she tweaks the saturation and the contrast and the exposure and I look so much better so yeah but you know that's a lot of the uh phones do auto exposure and auto saturation and you know but it's just stuff you learn over time oh yeah so it was funny I noticed it I never see anybody complaining in the comments or something but I'm watching it going god that looks horrible of course you're always your own worst worst judge it's like when I'm recording a video and I'm listening to myself talk I'm like oh my god this is this is gonna be horrible this just doesn't sound good and then I'm playing it I'm like yeah that's all right of course like you I'll cut out some things and oh yeah I I flub up all the time you know I uh though if I make him say sometimes it gets left in again I have someone else editing and if he leaves it in I still have the option of taking it out sometimes it's like the entire time I was doing the series the studio series 86 starscream for like the first half of the video I'm like you know saying it's just identical to the kingdom starscream kingdom starscream but it was the earth right I caught that you know of course I you're calling kingdom starscream over and over again I think we'll halfway through the video have I been calling this bastard kingdom starscream you know so I put little notes it's like yep you have a lot you know so well I'll catch myself screw up and I'll just put like a little title so that I meant this or because you know that's when the comments section goes nuts I can't believe you made a mistake how dare you unsubscribe well that's why yeah very first time I said kingdom I put up after earth rise and then later on I said can you again it says earth rise he'll get it eventually I forget which I think hoist uh you know hoist burked had grapple or no he had inferno and he called inferno grapple through the hole no it was hoist he had earth rise hoist and called him grapple through the whole video and so yeah he had to go back and put little notes yes this is so when you I mean going into something completely random so when you shoot your video you just shoot everything hand it off to your editor and you're on to the next thing um generally first of all I try to do several at a time because I don't want to I go down to the studio I have three or four different uh you know reviews that I'm going to do I go through and then yeah I uh appreciate it leg laziness that's what keeps our subscribers with us exactly um yeah so then what I do since he's doesn't live with me I actually have to create proxies because I'm 4k files but yeah basically I hand I set it up I sync all the sound because I record sound separately set up the project send it off to him he does all the edits sends it back sends back the project file and then uh yeah lifting that one surprised me that it didn't have the blinking thing so maybe of course my phone recently updated so you never know it's also kind of a darker red yeah um yeah so yeah I pretty much pass it on to him and then he passes it back and I have to finish it so like that nice little uh thing in the beginning April or where you repeat yourself yeah April 1st coming up I already got an idea yeah so send it on to him he sends it back I do the finishing touches he doesn't know enough about transformers to be like okay what episode am I gonna find the first time Superion merges key to vector sigma part two or you know that's uh something I know when I can grab the stuff so but anyway yeah so that wasn't one of your five questions was it no we only got two questions left this is always an interesting one what's the one thing you don't like about being a reviewer um reading those fucking instructions when I don't know how to in the old days way back in the old days in the 80s the instructions were pretty fucking clear on how you had to transform these fuckers now it's like there's a friggin arrow going around behind it and you know there's a zoom that doesn't help it's like you know some of the instructions are horrible but other than that you know I look at full instructions here I mean looking at some of the it's like line art and it's badly drawn and yeah a lot of the instructions are just not that clear you know it's funny I'm just now seeing what says turn the head to the side you can't make it out so exactly so yeah I see it now so I'm glad and in the old days in the instruction books it not only showed you the picture it gave it wrote out the instruction now they don't don't want to do that because they don't want to have to worry about big and bold yep but but if you look at g1 instructions it'll say like turn the head to the side there we are just happened to have some g1 instructions step one leg but look look at the right above yeah it says flip rear body halves forward it tells you what to do so if you're having trouble you're looking at the picture you can read it look back at the pictures oh that's what they mean they don't want to put the actual they don't want to write out the instructions anymore because they want to use it for all the multilingual stuff so yeah and for some reason it may just be me I hate studio series instructions they just don't seem near as clear as say your generation selects instructions it may it may just be me I'm maybe I'm old and cranky I think I'm older than you so hey Chauncey I loved your Facebook post I honestly did he was complaining earlier on Facebook I thought was funny I see you YouTubers look at my Facebook posts and don't say nothing yeah that's it transformer hieroglyphics what the hell did I say yeah that's why sometimes I gotta just transform it and I'm like this is awesome that's like brawn I figured him out pretty easy except when it came to with your flip do you have that one not yet he's on the shelf now but you take his leg and actually take his leg and fold him reverse fold him at the knee and the leg actually goes through the foot it's a really cool transformation but I couldn't grab see exactly how it was doing in the in the instructions and I was able to put it together wrong and I'm looking at it it looks nothing like the picture then I figured out hell I missed it up yeah well that's exactly it you can't figure out by these extremely clever transformations nowadays but the instructions are fucking horrible so that's what I hate yeah that's what I hate the most but anyway all right we got one more question left we got one more question do you have any channel goals for yourself and where can our viewers find you and like where where are you located there then not like your house but you have fans spot like YouTube Facebook all that and if anybody is not wanting to worry about looking it up yourself I do have his links in the description of this video so just brag about yourself for a couple minutes then we'll call it a night well my goal obviously is to grow this year I started putting out a lot more videos my growth was slow because I was doing maybe two three I was lucky for reviews in a month and lately I've been doing you know 12 to 16 so having an editor helps it also helps when you go down and make yourself do four five reviews at a time which I have some really interesting ones coming also have a new series coming which I'm gonna talk about in a minute but here you go just got one thank you you're not that slow I gotta give slow a cheech and chong for the night and he loves my cheech and chong but uh yeah I'm hoping maybe by the end of year hit five grade five k that's my goal I don't know that I'm gonna but I'd rather aim high and come close than aim low and be like you know okay I managed to hit it so I'm at like 15 16 now so it's you've only been going toy spotlight about a year am I right or well it's it's actually been like two years um but again I haven't been very active on it for the first like until like January of this year I wasn't really that active on it because I'd say I'd never see anything from you and then all of a sudden I'll be honest the algorithm likes you or at least something about me subbing to your channel because I know a lot people subbed to me they hit the bell icon they never get notified when I put something up until a couple days later because I've noticed that was some of my reviews were used to you take off real fast that first night now it's like slowed and a day later it'll pick up and then drop but I've been seeing a lot of your stuff popping up lately well that's that's good yeah it's been I think uh the increase in volume has helped definitely you know you can grow putting out two or three videos a month because I did I grew but now that I'm putting out more I'm getting you know 90 100 subscribers a month new subscribers a month I'm getting uh you know 10 plus thousand video views a month on the channel I mean oh that's right where's Bert what's funny is Bert is one Bert was the guy that really helped me get going he's like one of my best friends on YouTube always talk about him he's a lot of my super chat things but apparently he's the old man of our group because every time I do one of these live streams he has to go to bed early so hoist just hit me with a super chat so uh let's let's give uh Captain Kyle a Bert he got to meet Bert at TF con but he didn't get to meet him this way oh dear Jesus okay I will never be able to look him in the eye again I think we felt we were sitting on the bed with yeah I have to say very brave very brave of that man to just tear off his shirt and do he he is the funniest individual he is just constantly always out friend him on Facebook he's just means nonstop he does he posted a video the other day I guess him and his daughter filmed an entire intro to full house where he was each character being named them just these funny ass names and he said they'd be doing something stupid just look at the camera and it's just the whole video is just hilarious that is welcome to Patriot Prime reviews I do weird stuff like that that's that's a uh do we have any Dr Horrible fans out there I have to ask because Dr Horrible it is a 42 minute superhero comedy musical starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion and they're and you were saying you do the weird stuff and there's actually generic opera or something there's a genetic opera but uh no Dr Horrible sing along blog 42 minute superhero um superhero comedy musical you definitely uh check it out and there's a character in there called Captain Hammer and he's singing a song and he's like his line is this is so nice I might just sleep with the same girl twice I hear it's better the second time they say you get to do the weird stuff and then like it's a genetic opera I knew of something yeah and then three of his fans pop out and they're like we do the weird stuff so it's like you know anyways

you know and some of them I probably don't know who they are so that's why there's gonna be live streams people can be like you don't know who that is and they're like frantically googling whoever it is but um and the other one is going to be more of a more about the cartoon of transformers than the toys but uh make sure your clips are short it's going to be all clips but uh don't don't worry um they're not going to be consecutive clips so that's what gets gets people um I'm just going to say welcome to g1 transformers unsolved mysteries that is the uh that's all I'm going to say about that series but I dig it I dig it so that's going to be on toy spotlight or fandom spotlight toy spotlight I'm keeping all the transformers stuff for the most part on there the only thing is if I go to car

watched pakkad episode two of season two because there's q in it and uh it's really it's already off to a better start than last season not saying that the first season of pakkad wasn't good it just wasn't as good as this so far now it also helps that we don't have to meet all these new characters so they're already established season one but what's that on that that's on paramount paramount yep one of the few i don't have and they just put uh the new screen movie it's an honor sydney yeah have you seen the stream waiting yellowstone season four on peacock yeah it's funny i go either my extreme sci-fi i have you seen a resident alien i have not oh my god highly highly recommended that show is so fun it's like it can't make up its mind what wants to be it's like it's a comedy yet very very serious yet it's just i love it it's it's great we've been uh binging dexter yeah i need to check out one out too just started watching reach her on amazon prime i heard that's really good yeah

well we're going to be at the monster mania and um after the last halloween kills my girlfriend hates anthony and michael hall with the passion he was just evil dyes tonight just annoying as hell he was just i really i like anthony michael hall as an actor but uh he was fucking annoying and halloween kills that movie just i don't know i love the 2018 reboot but this one just i didn't make any sense just i don't know maybe it'll wrap it up well that's yeah halloween ends is uh yeah but the original creep show steven king was in it and directed one of the episodes an anthology it's based on an old comic book and the i watched a creep show it's broke down where you got the series and uh there's a couple animators with the creep keeper welcome it's the creep creep keepers tales from the crepe oh tales from the creep shows creep and uh it's just different stories uh one i'll watch it tonight it was a guy trapped on a desert island and while i'm watching like okay that's from a steven king short story and it's just different stories from all over i mean it's some episodes are fantastic others you're just like oh it's just saying we're hurry up in the end you've seen uh the mist right the movie yes that's the only movie i watched and i'll never watch it again it was a great movie i just cannot watch it movie the end of it i've watched especially now being a dad yeah but the original uh short story which i think was four past been in the novella in four past midnight by steven king did not end that way they just drove off into the mist and you never knew what happened they came up with that ending for the movie and steven king saw that and he was like that is fucking brilliant you might not have used the word fucking but you know but he was like that is brilliant i did not think of that and it's just yeah it was a perfect heartbreaking ending yeah and yes i can understand being a father not wanting to see that again all right kyle it is 10 till midnight we have
