 Hey, what's up, guys? Patriot Prime here once again with another episode of The Sit Rep. And my guest tonight is T-Man978. T-Man, how are you doing this evening, sir? Hello, everyone. I'm doing good. Excellent. Well, I want to thank you so much for agreeing to hop on with me tonight. And so we can just discuss plastic robots and probably have a good time doing that. Well, first off, tell my people a little bit about yourself. Well, my name is T-Man978. I live in Baltimore, Maryland. As you probably already know, the people that I've already watched. I like to do toy reviews on my go-to toys or transformers, but I collect Marvel Legends, McFarland toys, NECA, like Fortnite figures, and a bunch of other stuff. Mezco, I just pre-ordered that Mezco Wolverine that's coming up. And yeah. Oh, I said I do toy hunts. Oh yeah, I've watched a few of those. Every time I try to do a toy hunt, it's a bust. I have one Walmart. That's it. My nearest target is two hours away and my next Walmart is 45 minutes away. So if I don't find it, my Walmart, I'm on Amazon. Exactly. I'm thinking of NECA Walmart. Did you pre-order that Goliath figure? The Darkoils? If I, when I see that in person, I'll make a decision. I love that cartoon. That was one of my 90s cartoons right there. All right. The Darkoils was one where I do remember watching it, but I didn't get too deep into it. So I got deep into it. It was one of those back in the days for maybe you younger guys, I used a VCR and I would record the episodes while I was at work. I think it came on early in the morning that caught up on all at night because it was such a, it was a cartoon soap opera. You missed one episode, you were all screwed up, especially in the second season. A lot of shows didn't do that with continuity. Oh, I know. All right. We are going to get on with the questions. Now, for those of you who've never seen the sit-rep before is how it works is I have 10 questions for my guest, 10 questions regarding him as a transformer collector and 10 questions regarding him as a YouTuber. And he's got a brand new toy right there that I can't wait to see. Would you say it's McFarlane's Shao Khan? Yeah. Oh, he's sweet looking. I love me some Mortal Kombat. Yeah, it's cool. It's kind of stiff and these spikes hurt so I don't think this is for kids. I hate how when you collect neck of figures you have to give them a hot bath first in order to move them. Yeah, this will move. I was trying to see if it says not a toy on the box. Some of them do. Adult collectible. All right, good sir. We're going to start with question number one. What is the appeal of transformers for you? Well, the appeal of transformers for me is most of the figure. I like that each figure seems like individual. Every time they come up with a new line they find new ways for different characters to transform. So it seems like a new experience every time unlike with a regular action figure. The regular action figure, you know it's a guy but he has on different clues but he does everything the same way as all the other guys. And probably just since I've been a fan since G1 I have that like attachment to it as something that I've just been liking for a long time. Oh, it's like me, you know, I'm Patriot Prime but I can't say no to a Megatron figure. You're talking about transformers that transform differently. They all do accept Megatron. How many different siege Megatrons are we going to get that turn into this tank with the feet and hanging off the back? That is similar to the legends Megatron that came out, combined the worst. Combined, I think I'm already putting back on the shelf. I had them out for my comparisons. I told T-Man while I was waiting I was going to knock out a quick review of this guy and it was a rare flawless review for me. No screw ups whatsoever. And when I put it on my editor I thought the lighting is off. I forgot to turn on the overhead light for the review so everything was all washed out. So you got to re-shoot that one. Everybody's liking your T-shirt, Spider-Man. Game stop. I think they might still be in stock on there. That's all game stop is anymore. Toys you don't want in T-shirts. Didn't tell you? When they have figures that I do want they're $3 or $4 or $5 more than they should be. Now they do have what I do with him. I did get the exclusive Grimlock. The Funko. My wife and son have got me collecting Funkos now. Like I need another rabbit hole. I have a reputation of hating Funko box. I bought the Voltron one years ago. And when I took it out the box I was like the paint is sloppy and it doesn't do anything. I was like, the hand doesn't turn, it doesn't wobble. I was like, what is this? Then I wanted to do it as a giveaway. I've got all the transformer ones and I'm just keeping them. They look better in the box than when you take them out because you're right. They are some sloppy paint jobs on them. I've got those visitor figures out from the VTV show. I took Diana out of the box and it's just like a blind guy painted her. She was terrible. I do have the Transformers Age of Extinction Drift Funko box. Somebody gave that to me as like a joke. But I'm like, it's a gift. It's just been sitting at my job for like four years. I've got those desk box too. The ones you really don't like. I'll just go to work and sit in a window sill. So somebody can say, oh, you collect go box? Yeah. Right. All right. Question number two. Aside from G1, which is always the number one answer, what's your favorite Transformers fiction? I'm gonna stick with these words. This is like probably like my fourth or fifth interview type thing. I was thinking, I should start changing up my answers just in case somebody's paying attention. And see what they say. Like you're lying. We all have different, not clientele, different viewers. But I like animated and prime a lot. But I got really attached with Beast Wars and that's what got me. Well, I'm gonna wait for your next questions. Now I loved Beast Wars when it came out in the nineties but I was never able to catch it in order. You know, watching episode here and there. But when I was in Iraq is when they put them all on DVD. And I got the entire series and just watching that from start to finish was amazing. I mean, they were such great storytellers. Of course, you had to kind of suffer through the first few episodes because it was originally designed. It was a kiddie show. And then they realized, well, the kids aren't watching it. The guys that grew up in the eighties with G1's watching this and it got a lot darker fast and it was awesome. In that second episode, I thought it was slightly dark when Megatron bit Primal's leg. Oh, yeah. You went on TV? And then you thought Megatron died. And then you thought Megatron died because that was the pilot episode. They all blew up. Oh, yeah. It was amazing the explosions that those bots would survive. Like I think it was one episode where Inferno was totally vaporized. I mean, they showed him just turned to dust and then the next episode, he's just out coughing and sputtering. I was upset. I was hurt like out of my what when that happened. Then he came back. So I was like, you never know what kills them. Like I think like the six episodes Tarasaur just blew Megatron's Megatron to pieces. And I was like, well, he could just kill him like that. Then he came back. Yeah, they just threw him in that hot tub and he was good to go. Cause yeah, he had that gun. He shot him, he fell down the cliff and just kept breaking to pieces. And then there's more waspinator. Yeah, he was invincible. All right, where are we at now? Number three, do you have a favorite figure or holy grail? Probably sitting right beside you. A figure you will never let go. Yep, cause it costs too much to ship them. But, I don't know. I don't know. My, even though they got just got knocked down and I never picked them up, but it's tough. A ton of my masterpiece figures. I'm not gonna go with MP 36 Megatron. That was been my favorite figure for a minute. And every time I look at it, I just have to mess with them and impose them and whatnot. Now I'm trying to think of the names MP 36. That's the more cartoon accurate one, right? The newer one. Yeah, he's great. I've got the, forget the brand. It's the off brand of him. We're only paid $99 for it. Yeah. Lord of destruction. I forget what it's called. I mean, the only thing, he's a near perfect figure. I thought I just slapped a toy hex decal on him. It was good to go. Yeah. I forgot what his name is called. But, it'll come to me. That was especially compared to the first one and compared to Apollyon. I was like, this is a dream come true. Like I've been wanting, some people complain when they look more cartoony. But I'm like, that's what I wanted my whole life. I hated seeing the cartoon. And then I get the toy and I'm like, what is this? Yeah, I love how I and I and ratchet don't have a head. And bumblebee had that whole mask thing and a flat head with no knees. Then you had Braun look like a Cylon and gears the same way. I did a video on that. That was one of my earlier videos. I was talking about how disappointed you were as a kid when you would get a transformer. You watch the cartoon and you get the transformer and the toy looks nothing like the cartoon. And it was amazing. The comment sections, people just blasted me. Well, that's because these figures came out in Japan before the cartoon. I'm like, you're missing the point of the video. This is me as a 10 year old kid trying to explain, hey, it's a great figure, but it doesn't look nothing like the cartoon. Well, look at G1 Megatron. You get that big old trigger sticking out. Right, when I first saw him in the catalog, I was like, what is this? And then the trigger thing was like, well, they can actually make a toy like that. This here is about the only one that was perfect though, still perfect to this day. And that is an 84 original. I always use him for my comparisons in my videos. He's always got my side. When I was little, he was one I wanted for a long time. And my grandmother had told me she was, she couldn't keep a secret. She told me she's getting an Optimus Prime. So I was excited. And then it was Power Master Optimus Prime. So I was like, yeah, it's still good, but whatever. I think I broke the break was over. Because you know that the peg that goes into his feet to keep the trailer on, that's popular for breaking and it's out of there. That was broken for the Christmas break was over. I told T-Man, we was talking about breaking figures earlier. I had a G1 Jazz for Christmas 84. I transformed him wrong and snapped the door off. And this was back before ball joints, you snapped something off, it was done. And took it back the day, next day, trying to get another Jazz. They were all out of Jazz's, so I had to settle for a Sunstreaker. Which is a great toy, but when you wanted Jazz, Jazz was more prominent than the cartoon. Right, people always say that the old toys are better than the new toys. I'm like, were you actually back there? Cause they used to break so easy. I couldn't tell you how many G1's I had that had super glued parts. And it's fine, I mean, it didn't take much, but man, they were die cast metal, good and heavy. They just weren't durable. No. There's so many times when I review one of my G1 figures, during that whole review process, I'm scared to death, like please God, don't break. All right, sir. Question number four, what figure is your white whale? Your most wanted toy, one you don't have yet for your collection. You can actually stop collecting if you get this. I don't have one of those. I, every time I feel like that, the last time I genuinely, genuinely felt like that was when I got Masterpiece Soundwave, the six pack from Toys R Us, I was like, wow, I don't need to go toy hunting at all anymore than five days later I was in the store. Yeah, there's no stopping. I can't help myself. I mean, of course I look out every now and then like a couple of weeks ago, my wife sent me out to get Dylan a new bookshelf. So get your son a bookshelf, okay? I'm on my lunch break at work, get the bookshelf, get out. So I walk in, it's on the other side of the store, but I still make that U-turn and hit all the way to the toy section, lucked out, found Dino Bot and Cyclonus. All right. Then you're like, oh, I forgot the bookshelf. If I have to put an answer, I kind of still want the purple reissue of T1 Galvatron. I don't know why I didn't order that when it came out. I had him when he came out, paid like 75 bucks for him. I sold him during my huge Transformers purge of 2012, was interested in him after reviewing my G1 Galvatron the other day and looked him up on eBay. I'm probably not going to get one of those again. All right. Back then, if a toy was over a certain price, I was like, yeah. Like when MP01 came out at $100, I was like, it looks better, but I was like, it's $100 and now I'm looking. You're like, I can do payment plans. I'll pre-order, have the money set aside. That's why I love these pre-order places we can go to now. You can pre-order it and pay on it as you go. That's why I do a lot of pre-orders through Amazon because I'll just get gift cards and pay toward it until I pay it off. I keep forgetting my job gave me a $50 card. I need to use that. You like me? They don't collect us. As soon as I know I got an Amazon card, I'm getting something. All right. Where are we at? Oh, last Transformers question. What's your favorite Transformers character? Any figure? Any media? Or not any figure, any fiction. Can't read my own questions. This is a tough one for me too. I have an answer, but because it was my favorite character for a long time, but since then I keep shifting. But I'm gonna say... Whoops, blew it off. Here we go. That's the Lux Baldy. He says, you're the reason he collects. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. You said you were from Baltimore, right? Yeah. You're gonna be at TFCon? Yes. Excellent. I'll see you there. Yeah. Kato just told me he was going to. Yeah, he kind of got me into going and then I talked Bert, the storm drooper into going. Now we got the Lux going. It's gonna be a nice crew. The Lobby bar is gonna be very entertaining at night. Yeah. But Beast Wars Megatron. Yeah. I especially liked him once season two came. That's when I started collecting Transformers as an adult when I decided to buy Transmetal Ratswap and they gave me a free VHS with the first two episodes of season two. Once I saw that I was like, I got to find the rest of these episodes. I didn't even know when it came on because it came on like so sporadically but then I found out that they were showing it on Cartoon Network at that time. I think when I started watching it was on USA in the morning, it was early. I think. When it was on Cartoon Network, they were showing it in the evening. I used to be able to get home from work to watch it. They're like a whole block of like new episodes for season two and I think the finale. Yeah. And those first two episodes of season two were some good ones. They're some of my favorites. The last episode of season two, my hair was sticking up on my arms. Especially with Ravage. You're like, oh my gosh, they went full G1. Yes. When he transformed with that sound, my head almost exploded. And what's funny? I told you how Beast Wars, the DVDs, I got those in Iraq. I got my whole unit watching that show. I'd watch a disc and the disc would just pass around until they circled back to me and it was funny. Everybody was all into it. We'd be out on patrol. So what do you think Megatron's gonna do today? I don't know. Don't think we paid attention to what's going on. We'll find out tonight after we're out. Mission's over. All right. Well, that's it for the Transformers Questions. Now we're gonna get into you as a YouTuber. And my very first question, sir, is what possessed you, a grown man, to do toy reviews on YouTube? Well, seeing that that was a thing that people were doing and the fact that I was collected, I probably would have started sooner, but at two issues, not having a camera. Well, I guess it was three issues. Not having a camera, not having editing software. And back then I kind of wanted to, I was nervous about putting myself out there on the internet and giving everybody access to me, which sometimes occasional, yeah, do you regret when I get random weird messages in my inbox. Yes, I can. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Like a lot of people are okay and how can I put it? Normal. Normal for us, right? Yeah, normal seeming, but then other people was like, ooh, what have I gotten myself into? I was like, I will get so many random friend requests on my Facebook page. I'm like, I don't know you. I mean, that's why I think like you, you have your a T-Man Facebook page. That way you can interact with everybody, but my personal page, that's me. Yeah, I did that for that reason. But then when I started out with the syndicate Facebook people, like I was saying, they weren't doing that integration where you can be a part of a group as your page at first. So that made me have to go in there with my personal page and then I was getting a whole bunch of friend requests. And I was accepting people, but then I would get on my page and I'll see certain posts and I'm like, who is this? Yeah, it just takes one person to throw that whole thing, not doing it anymore. Mm-hmm. I was like, why am I seeing this? Who will post this? Then I'll go through them like, I don't even know who this is, delete. When you go through and you have that one random or one mutual friend, you click the friend, you don't even know who that is either. All right. No, most of my mutual friends now are the other guys in the group. So I'm like, oh, it must be from that. But then I'd make it different. Well, hello, Kato. Thank you so much for the super chat. I'll highlight you here. Once I find my little arrow, there it is. Kato's in the house. He'll be a teenager on. Looking forward to shaking that man's hand. It's funny, we talk about that, but I have made so many great friends through this as well. Yeah, same. And that just blows my mind. It's like you and I have never talked face to face. And now it's like, no biggie. We're two grown men talking about these boys or toys boys. You went to TFCON. That's right. We did meet there. I didn't, I didn't know who you were. That's a, hey, I was, I was just starting then. But I was like, I kept seeing you. Then I had to, I was like, oh, that's who he is. That's that's who I got. I mean, to you. I remember now you were sitting down in the lobby and you were sitting down talking to somebody. I remember you came up and we shook hands and it was just kind of like we all branched out in our own thing. That was kind of surreal. That was my first big con. I'd went to a smaller one in Charlotte a few years earlier, but this thing was just amazing. I don't think I went to the first panel. I was having more fun talking to people and just looking around the sales floor. Yeah. Definitely. I like the sales floor. I think this was my first Transformers only convention but I've been to like Baltimore Comic Con. I can't wait to this. I'm looking so forward to it because I was going to the last one. And then of course the plague hit. So hopefully everything will go nice and smooth with this. Room's already booked. We are ready to go. Yeah. I'm gonna still carry a hand sanitizer anyway. Hey, it's a con. You got to have the hand sanitizer and you got to have deodorant and extra deodorant for people to come up to you. All right. Say, hey man, degree. All right, question number seven, sir. What keeps inspiring you to get in front of your camera? Well, you have a big following now, so. That people telling me they want to see if they know I have something and they want, they know I want, I mean, they tell me they want to see what my opinion on something. Like I actually had Prime versus Prime messaged me and said he was looking forward to my opinion of this. Really? Wow. Yeah. But now I've been editing this video for like two fricking days. I decided to film the review and the transformation instructions at the same time. Then as I'm going through the footage, I go for the next clip and I'm like, okay, where's the clip where I transform all of the top and bottom? I'm like, luckily I'm home. I'm gonna have to sit here and it's transforming all the way back over again. This thing is, I'm probably never gonna transform it again after this video. There is a few of transformers that I have that I've never transformed again. I'm looking at this Armada Unicron. I've got it right up here. I got him when he first came out, transformed him once, had a hell of a time doing it and he hasn't been transformed again. People, I can't see it. Yep. That's what he's talking about. This thing is almost 20 years old. I never replaced the batteries. I'm like, how does this still work? I think mine's the same way. I'm afraid to get, I've got him holding. You remember those little Lego sets that came in like the Death Stars and the planets? I have mine holding the Death Star. I'm afraid if I touch him, I'll drop everything. No problem. I'm gonna look at the size of that Unicron. Yeah, people, another preview. This is primus. Wow. That thing is unbelievable. So primus was like one of the moons, Sam. This thing is heavy. Yeah, that's a solid figure. I had that one back in the day. He was a victim of the Purge as well. But besides the fans wasn't that, YouTube, I'm about to be honest. Like some people are scared to be honest on YouTube when he's into these things, but YouTube revenue, that's an incentive. Yeah, it's not much, but it helps. I'm using, my YouTube revenue is gonna pay for my trip to TFCon. I'm putting it all every month. That's going into a little kitty for TFCon. That way I don't feel bad. You know, it's not like I'm spending our money for the house or our money for this. This is money I've made talking about Transformers so I can go see other people who talk about Transformers. Yeah. The trip down there and all that up there. Yeah, it is definitely nice to get a random check every month. And how long have you been doing YouTube? At the end of this year, it'll be seven years. It was like the end of 2014, like October 2014. I guess I hit my three years in October and it seems like it flies by. What's really good is this is one of those things where you're constantly learning new things. I'll go back and watch one of my older reviews and I'm like, ugh, I was terrible. When I watched my first Transformers video, I was shocked. I was like, it almost seemed like one of my current videos because I was saying and doing a lot of the same stuff that I'm saying now. I thought it was going to be like way bad. Now the video quality is bad. Whatever I used to render it, it was like 780p but when I rendered it, it was like the quality is way lower than that, so I'm like, yeah. Now, do you use a specific camera for your videos or use your phone? My phone. Yeah, that's what I do. I don't even use a computer at all really. Wow. I can just add everything on, like PowerDirector. Once I found that, I was like, I never needed to use any other editor. And then every year, or every few months, they put up an update to make it even better than it used to be. So now, it has way more features than it ever had. I'm like, it's getting closer and closer to our actual PC editor. Wow. I just bought PowerEditor because of those shorts everybody's putting on. Kato recommended it. And I'm like, yeah, this has some awesome features but my problem is I like to put some little things in there and it's kind of hard to do it all on your little screen. I do everything here on my PC. I've got a dual monitor, so I'll set my clips up here, this here, and I kind of edit everything together. I love the editing part. It kind of shows how creative you can be, especially if you screw up. I was like, well, do I re-shoot this or can I splice this just right? I was gonna watch some of my reviews where I'll throw a video clip in real quick. That video clip is to cover me, poor I screwed up and get pissed. This is a little bit of a smooth transitioning. Well, me sometimes I leave that in. People think that's funny. Somebody was just joking with me earlier. I don't know if you know Nathan Simmons, but he sent me Susan New to review. And in that video, I must have been real pissed and one of my friends was like, he thought that was like the funniest thing in the world. I'm like, you're making me wanna go back and watch it. I was like, I don't remember being that pissed. But that thing is the best. All right, where are we at? There are thousands of toy reviewers on YouTube. What makes you any different from the rest? Aside from your voice, everybody always says you get the smoothest transformer of your voice. I was gonna mention that, but with thousands being honest again, I was gonna say nothing. Thousands of people, somebody is gonna be just like me. Like I was thinking, it's one person that comes to mind when I watch the Amazing. I don't know if you ever see him because he doesn't do transformer videos recently. He did review Optus Pexis recently. They sent that to him because he specializes in posing and whatnot. But when I watch him, I'm like, we say and do a lot of the same stuff. You know what I got? Never paid attention to that before. Just he giggles more than me. But, oh, maybe my humor and my voice, humor. And I guess that. I love your intros, how every time you put a video on, it's like, last time on T-Man. It's something that strikes me up, I dig it. Well, that was me. I had such a hard time trying to say, I was like, all right, how do I jump in when I first started? Like, how do I do this? What can I make myself different from the rest and just drive home from work one day? I was like, I will use a military. I'll do a military thing. I'll wear my veteran hat and the who I thing just happened at first video and I just rolled with it. And what's funny, I hate wearing hats, but since I started doing this, I just always have the hat on. When I went to TFCon, I didn't wear it. There was a lot of people like, I wasn't sure if it was you or not cause you didn't have the hat on. Right. Now, in my early videos, I did a whole bunch of different stuff. Like some of my videos, I have super high energy, which I'm not known for now. If I decide, I randomly just decided to do that. Where like, one of my main things is I used to use a go-to voice like this. And if I do that now, he'll be like, why are you changing your voice? Why are you saying, I'm like, cause I want to. I felt like it at the moment. My son actually told me in the car yesterday, we're going somewhere and I was talking about Megatron. And he says, I love when you do that, Dan. I was like, what? He says, you talk normal until you say the name of the transformer. Well, cause the reviews, I always go, and now we'll take a look at Transformers Core Class Megatron. And he's like, I love when you change your voice. Like, well, okay. But it's funny watching my old stuff. I was so monotone. I'm like, okay, here we go. This is Core Class Megatron. And he is a fairly decent representation of G1. And now I'm like more in your face. Hey, here we are. So yeah. Yeah, YouTube loves that. What's that? I'm sorry. I said YouTube loves that. And that's probably why you're at 8,003 years. Yeah, I've done something right. I have so many people say, hey, what's your secret? I was like, I don't know. It's just- It might have been that video you were telling me about. Cause I had a toy hunt randomly. I guess cause Spider-Man Homecoming was out and I did a Spider-Man. I did like two Spider-Man hunts and they kind of went semi-viral. Like 500,000 views in like a month. I gained, I think I gained 4,000 subscribers in one month. That's insane. That was exciting until I found out they were like 4,000 deadbeats. Subscribe, but don't watch the videos. Yeah, that's funny. When you look on your analytics, you see how many subscribers watch your stuff and how many random people and only 50% of your subscribers ever watch what you do. Right. It's me. It's even lower than that. What's that? I said, for me it's even lower than that. I have way more random. I'm like, how do I have so many subscribers but I have way more random people watching my stuff than subscribers. I just stopped looking at the analytics for a second. Cause that was driving me crazy for a minute. I've done, there's some videos. I'm notorious. I'll pop a video on. I don't even watch it. That's where I got in trouble last night because yes, I am human. And I called Inferno grapple three times in a video. And man, I got blasted for that. So I try to, I try to proof view my videos as much as I can, but usually I was just, oh, that looks good. Throw it on there. Yeah, I've done, I've seen, you've probably seen this as a super popular been on YouTube for a long time. Like he has errors in the video and doesn't fix someone and doesn't, like let's say he says, okay, we got Chalcon and okay, we got Chalcon. I'm like, well, he didn't notice that. I let him know that he didn't watch his video either. He just threw it. I've done that especially with my beginnings or no, my endings are the worst where I'm trying to like, hey, does this figure belong in your collection? I'm trying to think, I got to say stuff that I didn't say in the video for my closing. And there's a lot of times I'll screw up and that's when I'm like, fuck, get pissed. And then I'll throw it on there. It's like, oh, I forgot to edit that out. You'll see me do the replay over and over again. Now I've had times where I'll have moments in a video where I stopped talking and I start moving things around. And then I'll watch my video on YouTube and all of that footage is in there. And I'm like, I don't want to get anybody to notice that. And I guess that would be rough with figure reviews, especially when they're so articulate. If you're posing them and then you have to go do something, come back and shoot, you won't kind of make sure it's in that same pose, especially if you screw up. Yeah. I've discovered with my videos, there's a lot of times I'll talk like Captain Kirk between my paragraphs in case I screw up. That's where I can edit something in later. Like, I've got mega-training. Like that. I never do that and it drives me crazy. Like, if I mess up on something and I think let me do a voiceover, there's never a break in a sentence where I can do that. And then your voiceovers never sound the same either. You could be talking the exact same way into the exact same system, but since you put in an editor, it's gonna get higher pitched. You're gonna have his weird background noise. That is. I did that and I just added, I'm still editing, but I did that in his review. And I'm wondering if anybody's gonna notice. Oh, they'll notice. Somebody will notice and they just take pride in themselves. I'll call him out on that. All right, well, let's roll on to question number nine. What's your thoughts on the Transformers social community? You know, YouTube, Facebook, and do you have any special shout-outs yourself? The Transformers social community is the best and full of the greatest people out there. Sarcasm. I tell you what, we are better than the Star Wars community. They're horrible. They are horrible to each other. It's good besides the correcting you think. Like, Transformers fans have to have everything accurate. And you can't say that Rumble is red. And I'm like, just let it go. I called it whatever the box says, if he's red and it says Rumble, that figure's gonna be Rumble in that video. Man, I got blasted. I got the, I'm trying to think of a little tiny skeleton figure, vertebrae. And I referred to it as a he. Man, people fuss, that's a girl, it's a girl. I was like, I'm sorry, I forgot to check. Okay, you know, what is this before I review it? It's a plastic toy. Sorry. They don't have bios anymore. No, that's what I miss. I mean, especially when you get these weird figures like this, which I didn't think I'd like it first but I would love to know the story of how these fossilized things became a robot. But no, you just got the back of the package. Here's the thing. Here's the alt mode. I miss file cards. I seriously have doubts that that's gonna be on the Netflix show too. I do too. It's something to sell for pieces and parts to make more weapons. And you'll buy more of them because we're collectors. Right. So if it doesn't look like black arachnia or was like in your face a female, it's hard to tell. Exactly. I know RC, I know black arachnia. What's the one I got today? Oh, yeah, air razor. Well, yeah. Well, depending on where you live at, she could be a male or a female. True. Very true. All right, last question. And then we'll go into the audience and let them ask a thing or two and then we'll wrap things up. Is do you have any channel goals for yourself and where can our viewers find you? Well, people say they like my relaxed and non-silent attitude of the relaxed way I do my videos. But I would like higher production. And I've been doing things here or there to like spruce things up. And I did forget to do this shout out. I want to shout out figure action. I'm live there every Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern. I'm gonna be on there tomorrow. I have a link. That's why you couldn't do Thursday. Yeah. I have a link in the description of every one of my videos for the best two years to the channel if you don't know where that's at. But goals, I guess, keep being the best me. And that's all any of us can hope for. And just let you guys know that I have T-Man's link in the description of this video. So just pop on there, click the link. You're right on T-Man's page. Give him a sub and watch his mellow videos. I'm gonna leave the eyebrows in here. Oh yeah. Awesome individual. We had a good time talking on one of these. Love his stop motion. He is the only reason I was able to transform my masterpiece Megatron. Yeah, he's definitely in a stop motion. Do you definitely see every step? Oh yeah. He is awesome with what he does. I mean, big good. Very descriptive. And entertaining. I recently watched his Omega Supreme video, his CG Omega Supreme video. And when he does that skit where Omega's on the moon or Cybertron, he's like, Optimus is like, well, I need you in robot mode. So he has all these parts fly from Earth to Cybertron and departs or flying through space stations. Yeah. Terrible areas. Destroying everything on the way. You know, awesome. Yeah, lazy. All right. Well, that pretty much wraps up our sit rep. I've got about 15 more minutes and I'm gonna let T-Man go. So if anybody has any questions in the chat, I apologize if I wasn't selecting your questions, but I gotta get my stuff done first. So let's see, anybody got anything? That's it. That's the name of that Megatron, Infinite Transformation, Emperor of Destruction. Thank you. I messed with that. I heard the only thing to worry about is the ab crunch was like stuck or something. I don't know if you're sure. The only issue with mine is the feet where this one, the foot panel is, it's part of the gun, it's metal, it keeps flopping down. It's not tight, but other than that, it's perfect. All right, let's see if anybody's got anything. Here we are. Everybody says, my favorite YouTuber is all in one stream. Thank you. Thank you, Chris. Yes, thank y'all. All right, here we are. This is from, let me get back again. Patriot Prime, my question is, would T-Man find the picture I emailed you at the beginning of the stream funny? I don't know. Is it appropriate for YouTube? And what email? I got like four of them. Let's see. I saw something earlier. There he is. Yes, you helped so much. I mean, I had you on the screen while I'm transforming. Actually, before that video, I even told him, I think it was like my second year into YouTube and I apologized like, guys, I am not transforming this on camera. Here's robot mode. We're gonna do a transition and here's gun mode. Let's see. Oh, here we are. Question for T-Man. Action figure expert. No, that's you. There we are. Is there any transformer toy line you cannot have anything you don't have anything from but would like? That is tough. Mostly anything. A lot of stuff that Takara told me was releasing that didn't come to the U.S. But at this moment, I can't think of anything specific. There's a lot of eyes sold I'd love to have back, but like we'd said earlier, we were talking about the purple Galvatron. Yeah. I can't remember if we were talking live about that or not. I think we talked about that one here. Yeah. Yeah. About 200 bucks now. Right. All right, let's see. I'm gonna see if I can find his email. I got no idea what he's talking about. Probably don't have it on this computer and I don't. I have to check. I use my phone as my webcam so there's no way I can check my emails. Oh. Yeah. The Takara version of the headmasters. I like the lot of their decos. Kato wants to know. Well, I keep going back and forth. Sometimes I have trouble since I started doing my own reviews, I've been having more and more trouble watching a lot of reviews because I almost feel like I'm watching myself if that makes any sense. I've discovered lately that I don't watch reviews of figures that I'm gonna review because I don't want anybody saying, hey, you copied him. Like I know Kato has done reviews on this guy here and some others, but I'm like, well, I want to do it first before I watch. But in other words, in that same aspect, I watched your review on Core Class Megatron because I didn't think I was gonna pick him up. And then I saw you had him. I was like, well, that guy looks actually pretty cool. So I'm gonna pick him up. But yeah, I'm in the same boat and then usually after I review it. I definitely try to do that because I hate that when I see somebody watch their review and then I'm thinking the same thoughts that they're saying. It's like I find myself not wanting to say it in my video and it's like that gets in my mind. But recently, people that I've been looking forward to their new videos is like Javi Dahong. I know a lot of people because of his sixth sense of humor. They have trouble with them, but I think it's like hilarious. Like I like scripted stuff. See, I can't script. Every time I script, I screw it up. I just have to write from the head. I'm too lazy, but I definitely like watching scripted stuff. Question for the both of you. And we'll assume it's both. Would you like the next series of generation figures to be based on something from the past or something completely new and different? Well, me personally, there's a lot of G1s that still need some modern love. I would love to see a modernized pretenders like Bludgeon and Thunder Wing. I mean, hell, they don't even have to be pretenders, but at least give us good figures. And I mean, there's so many G1s that haven't been touched yet, like the obscure characters. And then if we're going to go more modern, I mean, I was talking earlier, I keep pulling this figure up, he's the only one I have. How many tank megatrons do we need? I would love to see modernized version of the animated Megatron, where he's the dual rotor helicopter. Not all cartoony, but you know, realistic looking. That would be cool. Dream, if they brought Transformers animated back for the season four, that'd never happen. That would be awesome. But I would like Armada, because those Armada toys suck to me. So if they made new versions, that would be great. Even like the universe hotshot that came out, like his back kibble made it like so difficult to move his arms. So I couldn't even fully enjoy that. So I have a feeling that they are gonna go with Armada and it's gonna tie into the release of this. It's such a big deal in that trilogy. Well, that was the whole, wasn't that the whole name of the trilogy? Once Armada came out, you realize that was the Unicron Trilogy? But you gotta think, it's getting that time where we're hitting, that came top, the Unicron, the Unicron Trilogy is somebody else's G1. And I'll accept that. I'm not that hardcore of a G1 or that I can't accept the other brands or the other lines. Yeah, I've had people in my comments say that they were a kid when the live acts and movies came out. I'm like, holy crap. That makes you feel old. God, that was 2007. Jesus. Right. My kids were kids back then. So yeah, that's what we got here. I saw something about, could I take him going to fight? Oh, really? I must have missed that one. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that. We both know how to talk. That's it. We got enough violence going on in the world. Yeah, let's see. Oh yes, I've heard about this. NECA has five more gargoyles figures ready. Of course, five more gargoyles at $30 a pop. Yay. I need to rewatch that on Disney Plus since I'm spending the $7 a month for that. Yeah, I think, hell, I haven't watched WandaVision. I haven't watched Winter Soldier yet. I got hooked on WandaVision. So it is good. A couple of times I was still woke at 3 a.m., so I just watched it at 3 a.m. I have discovered Rick and Morty on HBO Max. I watched like the first season years ago. I've been binging them all every night. I think I'm on the last season right now. That is awesome. I'm going to see you. Oh, here we go. Do you think Hasbro will make pipes? Now, have you got a kingdom huffer yet? No. A really surprisingly good figure, and I think a pipes remold would be awesome. He just needs a new head sculpt and maybe something to attach to the arms for the pipes. And there you go. So I would almost say we'd see a generation selects pipes. Let's spoiler alert though. Sony from TMReviews, he found Huffer and Airazer, so he's gonna be sending that to me. Nice. Huffer surprised me. I mean, I never thought I'd be excited about Huffer, but this is a really good figure. No, I've been wanting them forever because they haven't released one that actually looked like Huffer. Like every other character looked like the character, but not Huffer. Well, they were always, if I remember correctly, most Huffers were just repaints of like legends class Optimus Primes. Yeah. And one was a repaint of what was it? Transformers Prime version of Ironhide. I can't remember. Wasn't there, what was the combiners that the main bot would combine or turn into the torso? Core combiners. Power core combiners. I think there was a Huffer in that line. Yeah, I bought that. That's why I didn't fix my knee. Hey, thanks Curtis. Who would win Godzilla versus Trypticon? Huh, that'd be like Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla. Godzilla. Yeah, Trypticon's kind of dumb if you think about it. That's what I'm about to say. Why Godzilla throw Trypticon in water? Of course, yeah, Godzilla's in the ocean and Trypticon's always drowning in the ocean. Trypticon will just blow a hole in him and he's always running out of energy on. Transformation clogs breaking. All right, let's see. And well, let's do it. We'll do one more question and then we'll get off here at 11 o'clock. Somebody's gotta be at work in the morning and get a little boy up for school. Of course, they're calling for snow here in West Virginia. I don't know. I'm tired of it. All right, let's see. What's that? I was thinking, I was about to say we haven't had any snow, but that's a lot. It's snowed for like two weeks, like a while ago. Patriot Prime, how about the masters of universe origins that you have? I have the entire first wave. I haven't even taken them out of the package yet. And what's funny, we were just talking, T-Man, I was just talking earlier. Once you get, let me get off here. Once we get ourselves established, like T-Man, he does everything. But I've discovered that after three years I'm a transformer guy and any time I try to review something new, like something not transformers, it really just doesn't pull the view. So I don't know. I thought about reviewing them, but I don't know. He's feeding you to Cron. I have a few of those origin figures. I even just bought She-Ra, but Pixel Dan got that on lock. Masters of the universe, I would not. I have been looking at the same six figures at my Walmart probably for six months. T-Man, Man in Arms, Skeletor, the first wave. I would like to get paid for them. I just came across the second wave. But I promised myself I wouldn't get deep into that. But when I was a kid, I used to wish that they had all the articulation that they have now. Oh, no kidding. The only thing we got was the power punch. You turn them and they punch. Do these new ones do that? I don't, I'm not sure if the ones, they have the ones with the battle damage. I don't think they do that. Okay. Yeah, Man in Arms at least has a mustache now. True. But that's one of the reasons why I still collect now. Cause when I was younger, I hated toys having like five POA or transformers having just two POA. So I was like- I didn't have any. I was trying to say, I don't even think of having G1s on my desk. Usually I got everything piled on here during a review. No G1s, well yeah, Optimus. I mean Optimus was pretty decent for what he was. He had his rotation at the shoulders, elbow bend, knee bend. Wrist level, technically. Technically, yeah. He could look up and down. I always thought it was weird. They gave him knees, but his legs don't go forward. No. That's so- I was like, why does he have bending knees? He can relax on the hood of a car looking at the stars. But that is something they incorporate into the animated version of his transformation where he would be on his knees first. I was like, at least he could do that. And I always hated, this has annoyed me since I was a kid, how he can't hold his gun right. He holds it by the magazine instead of the handle. Oh yeah. But that's been that way since the beginning. Yeah, I was trying 86s accident. How about Avenger figure? I'm not sure what you mean, but I collect like over a hundred Marvel legends. Oh, he says that's so he can kneel before Megatron. I like this one. Here we go. That's power of the prayer prime. I don't think he wants to kneel in front of G1 Megatron. That's a different channel. Yes. It might not be G rated. Yeah. Well, Patriot Prime reviews is a channel for adult collectors. All right, my friend. Well, it has been an hour and I'm going to let you go. I want to let, try this again. I want to give a big shout out to everybody in the chat for joining us tonight. Big shout out to T man for agreeing to do this. Especially after I've told him, oh, let's do this at nine in our last minute. Hey, let's do it in 10 instead. So I still appreciate you coming on. Don't forget to check out his channel. Like I said, there's a link in the description of this video. Check him out, give him a sub and check out all his different reviews. And don't forget to subscribe to me. I am trying my best to get 10,000 subscribers by TFCon in October, where I'm going to hang out with all these guys and he'll know who I am this time. All right, well, I am going to end this now. Once again, guys, thank you so much. This is Patriot Prime signing out. Hoorah! Yes, see y'all.
