It's no big deal. Um, I'm a transformer fan from G1 to Sound up today stuff Nice, do you do a collect a lot of third-party or you primarily hasbro? Not third-party. This is a wheezing SkySaurus and I do have I think a few others Just not a lot third-party have been really get into it because money costs on some I could get, you know, mainline stuff with About the price, but lately right now. I just switched forward to the third party That's me. I've always been more of a hasbro guy because it's more affordable But I hang out with a bunch of guys that collect third party in friggin legends class and I'm starting to get more of those in I love that Marvel Megatron. I just recently got Yeah, the way the third party is like legend skill size the engineering on those things It's like oh my god. I wish I was like a bigger figure because I would just blow hasbro out of the water Well, it's like that Megatron. I mean it looks exactly in robot mode as MP 36 But the transformation is so much more simpler. Oh, there's Larkin's boom right off the bat with a super chat Johnny five cause you two mobile Thank you so much Larkin. We'll just start this one off with a Bert. Everybody loves a good Bert Bert is always with us in spirit. That's still one of my favorite ones really. You should have been there when it happened live Well, let's go ahead and get rolling with this set rep for those of you who don't know The set rep is my show where I interview another transformers youtuber And I have 10 questions I think you might have your speakers up too loud. I can hear me talking after I talk Could be my phone, let me check see if I turn down Dear jeez So anyway, yes it rep I have 10 questions for my guest Five questions regarding him as a transformer collector and five questions regarding him as a youtuber and slow DK Just hit us with a super chat out the gate too. And I know which one he wants. He didn't even need to tell me Where is it? Where is it? And I've been smoking since I was born man. I could smoke anything man You better light it in here, man, right these gas fumes, man I Need to upload the other one I mentioned before that my first video I switched Bert and I and you couldn't tell the difference between us So when I change it that way you can kind of make us out a little bit more But I have to see if I have the other one. All right. Well, let's go ahead and get started with question number one Is what's the appeal of transformers for you? well Really the appeal of transformers to me is just playability and you basically are buying One toy, but it has multiple purpose. It's a robot or it's a beast a vehicle and it's multiple change Just fun to play with and I've always loved that and everything and you know, just kind of Rune and stuff. That's why I liked about transformers You just have just a giant robot and next, you know, it turns to another creature or vehicle or Whatever so playability Just I love it Now you said you collected from g1. Are you a g1er? Were you around when they first came out? Well, I was born in any four. So that's the year they came out and everything so I grew up The g2 Area, but I'll rewatch all the g1 episodes and everything. I've even got them on discs and everything so Uh, just to show how much of a g1 fan I am. I am a g1 fan begatron Complete I need getting a sticker and they're all faded I know the perfect place you can get some stickers too. Well, they're in my cart All right, well aside from g1, which is always the number one answer What's your favorite transformers fiction? They have to be these wars Hey That's the show I grew up as a kid, you know, it was my generation of what you had was g1 cartoons and everything and I just like it they it's That they tied in with g1, but it was like another new spin On characters a new like idea and everything that like bringing back all characters and and still um Respecting the g1s really Did you have you heard the story of how g1 got tied into beast wars? it was accidental In the very first beast wars episode primals talking about the great war And the great war was just they were mentioning the great war something that had the two warring factions together And the internet right then is during its infancy, right? So all these transformer Pages uh chat rooms whatever just went nuts all the great war. They're talking about the autobot decepticon war So when they started seeing that online, that's when the writers of the show started researching g1 more And decided well, what the hell let's just tie it in together And I think it was like a couple episodes later You see star scream fly by in cheetor's dream with the decepticon logo on him and everything So it was just kind of a fluke is how it became part of g1 And that's I've heard about that too and that's why I like about beast wars because The fans is what helped make you know, tie that into it as well. So You know, it's they were listening to the fans and you know, what reading their stories and stuff and all the online and stuff That's why I liked about it It's like what the fans did to save the sonic movie Yes, exactly Even my kids when they first saw the trailer with the oh Sony they're like No But he made a comeback. Have you seen chip and deal yet? No, I haven't oh my I've already seen the images and all this stuff from it I highly recommend it. Yeah, people waste of no time spoiling the cameos, but even though it's still a good movie All right back to the questions. Do you have a favorite figure? Or grail a figure you will never let go of you're looking behind you right there Your house is on fire or something's going on. You can only save one What is it? They're only 30s rhinos They're only 30s. That's a good figure. Yeah, especially after you got the kingdom when you're like, what in the hell and it's I was disappointed and it was just it's not fun to transform from my opinion A lot of people are not having issues, but I have issues with it That's part of the fun if I'm sitting here cussing and parts are popping off while I'm trying to transform a figure I'm not enjoying it Like I I can understand some parts have like a little bit tight tolerance, but that one that just There's no tight tolerances would have been easier just harder to get it lined up and tab into them all that stuff Hey, thank you so much for the super chat Really appreciate that's another one of our toy hacks winners right there. Let me uh Find Chauncey something worthwhile here When I see ones I do like that. I'm like, you know, I will not look good if I ever get really skinny That's like this one I made the other day for friday the 13th That's what I look like in high school That was nowhere near that in high school That was the fashion when I was in high school I Make a mean emo guy Hey deluxe is in the chat. I got a lot of people in the chat tonight 26 people for a wednesday. That's not too bad Skinny ppr's first All right, so we got to the did we answer? Yeah, thrilling 30 round ox So now what figure is your white whale? What's your most wanted toy? Oh man, that's Been really hard. I've been I've had my friends ask me that too um I think it's well, it's not really one it's Majority I need I want I'm a big combiner fan. I love the combiner transformer. It's a whole shelf. It's nothing but combiners But I don't really have a lot of g1 combiners So I think those are my only griles of getting all g1 combiners Do you have any of them any of the g1s? Uh Not g1, but I have like you know the r.i.d Furticus style one and the desert camel that came out with the r.i.d in the early 2000s I got those are the closest g1s that uh that bruticus right there was my stand in for a g1 for years And I had I had the gold one that you do I can see right there And then I had the one that came out with the kb toys. I guess it was the regular release It was gray and then they think they re-release so many different versions of those Oh, Jason. Hey, welcome to the chat my friend Pick me up. What decals did I miss out on none yet? I got like a ton of decals in today. Let's see Where's one of jason's favorites? Here we are leverage eject No reaction quiet on that one All right, so Which combiner would you like to get first? What's your number one g1 combiner you'd like to get a hold of? The secons that don't have any secons. I've got I've got different variations of Uh superior defense or all the other ones, but I don't have any of the secons not even the new hasbro ones because I can never Find them in a good price out and I wouldn't I didn't get those because they were ridiculously priced For generation selects figures you were paying 34.99 for a deluxe and I forget what snap trap was it was just like 70 bucks. Maybe I think it was like 59 or something. I mean it was ridiculous. I'd love to have them, but no That's what kind of kicked off my g1 buying back in the day was when big bad toy store Did their re-release of the piranha con gift set? And I got that and I was like, oh my god. I forgot how fun g1s are Yeah, I I remember that said and I missed out on it. So I'm been trying to find it Yeah, the only complaint with it is snap trap the original snap trap had a black head So, you know, it was the pink body or pink chest the green body black head this time It's the green head just kind of it looks off but mine stays combined as piranha con. So it's no big deal There we go. I would save my zing zing megatron. It was a gift from a wife probably the largest non-combining figure right now That's me and mp01 my wife bought mp01 for me while I was in Iraq So that that actually was part of that. He was the uh mascot of my channel until I got my official logo for a longest time I just we can still see him up there on the wild point and you can't see me point mode and screen You can see him up there on my shelf holding the flag Yeah So Let's say my wife asked me how much it would cost to buy all the main line tf releases each year I don't even want to think about it I I forget I think fire talks the other day was talking about go box because they're rock lords He's become rock lord obsessed lately And he says man, I hate to think how many rock lords that I bought recently And I just said you never want to add up your expenses on these toys All right, well, what's your favorite transformer character? any fiction any media Oh, I've been the guy I use my for my logos rhinox rhinox. I was wondering Yeah, I just grown up the show, you know, I Always thought that rhinox was like the backbone of the whole maximal team. I mean he was a medic the repair You know, he had the brute strength the firepower and the intelligence and everything I mean, somehow he got killed off in the beast force The maximals were easy loss. So I just like how they built this character and everything in the show and so It was almost a slap in the face in beast machines when you found out he was tank or Don't remind me I was so upset when I first when beast machines first came out I was like what happened to rhinox and then they go like oh it's tanker. I like no done And I didn't finish that series until like I think last year. I finally actually sit down and watch the whole thing I got it all on dvd and I haven't watched it in years But I liked the finale other than the whole Cybertron turning into earth with all the biological plants and stuff. I did like the final battle between megatron and optimists Yeah, I like that too. I just you know, just kind of weird off that all these Cybertronius now are just skipping and merely into the fields and stuff. I was like Yeah The nineties was weird man All right, so now we are rolling into youtube questions and youtube territory What possessed you a grown man to do toy reviews on youtube? Mmm, I would probably have to say my friends finally convinced me to do it We uh, I have a group of friends that also like transformers. They all collect different figures We're all different collectors of transformers and stuff and we Usually we'll get together once a month and just have a meet greet at a coffee shop Show what new stuff we got talk about stuff. What's coming up and everything and I always You know voiced my opinions on The figures they got or I got kind of like as a little review and stuff just for just, you know Fun and everything and they're like you should do a youtube and I was like I don't have the equipment to do that because this is back in like mid 2000s and everything because Didn't have really have a good pc computer Internet was crappy didn't have a camera. So I was like, I'm not built to do this stuff and everything and so I just Hold up, you know, put off the whole thing Idea till they find it, you know what my friends finally like, you know, it's like you just do it just for fun You know and I I was like, well Technology is more affordable now. I can do everything on my phone I'm literally still doing everything on my phone And just slowly doing it And everything so so learning I don't know the whole algorithm Nobody knows the algorithm. Um, yeah There's stuff that I will rush to put out and in my mind. I'm like this will do great and barely any views And then something that you would never expect would be popular Just blew up like in my latest I think I did The one that surprised me It was a legacy figure that I thought for sure. Everybody wanted to take a look at No hits whatsoever. I mean just very low for what I normally do Yet might be reissue cyber shark Figure from beast wars, which is not even a well-known figure. Just shut up so And my title wave reviews doing really good I knew that one was going to do good because I've had people ask you need to do armada reviews And I'll have like two armada figures. So once I got that title wave. I was like, I've got to get that one reviewed out quick Legacy skids. I think that was it elites Yeah, digital says even the algorithm doesn't know the algorithm I think they did in japan I think Because that was the first one I bought. I mean, it was I think I got off ebay It was the gold one that you have up there on your shelf That one's technically all the gold on him is actually the desert camo gold I just want it so I can look like the japan one or the Show accurate version really from a distance. You didn't even have to correct me and everybody will thought oh cool. He's got the japan one Yeah, no, I'm gonna. I'm gonna tell what it is All right, buddy. What keeps inspiring you to get in front of the camera Um Just basically try and get behind the camera and just you know If I always have like the one thought I always try to get you know try to do the reviews is I'm going to throw my opinion if somebody's having difficulty of trying to decide a figure I've always thought, you know, it's like you don't really have to buy every figure in every line You don't have to buy if you want to buy a certain character and he's in multiple lines buy that certain one and and if you've been on like The edge of buying a figure and everything I'm kind of I'm trying I'm still learning It's trying to help voice my opinion see if that'll help make your decisions Like well this figure does you know does really well articulations if you like doing display dramas Posing for your figures or if you collect certain characters or you're just this particular line and everything I'm just trying to help out Try try to help out people make their decision. That's why I always trying to want to do And that's a one thing I learned real quick doing this. Don't buy figures just to review No, there there are people that why didn't you review this figure that why didn't we review that? I was like, well, I've seen reviews on it. I didn't like it So I'm not going to buy it to review it for you guys to say I didn't like it So if you see me not review something that means hey, patriot prime didn't buy that So he must not liked it because that gets expensive just to buy figures to review Because I did that uh a lot throughout the siege line because there was a lot that Like a lot of the exclusives that I ended up reselling later on. I just had no interest in them I just bought them just to review and so I've really reeled that back Gotta see if there's anything here in the chat Let's see Speaking of title wave I was a little disappointed there wasn't a comparison shot it with him and a titan But I'll forgive you all what it been was that you'd see a calf I forget which figure I compared a titan to I think it was scorpionock or one of them I did Maybe a metroplex What was it? I want to get all the god speed to you craig I think that's why burton he's focused only on optimus primes. I think he's almost got them all except I know he passed on that 700 dollar one. Oh, yeah I'm gonna get the Yeah, I'd like to get the 40 dollar one the way I looked at it is okay, and we'll get a 700 dollar Remote control prime that I'll probably play with for an hour It'll go on the shelf And that's it Or maybe every now and then bring it out to show a guest but hell nobody ever comes to my house anymore Um, yeah the jade one that I might get that one The the dad bottom is prime The affordable collector prime All right, there are thousands of toy reviewers on youtube what makes you any different from the rest Other than the shaggy voice um Really, I'm not much different from All the other rests. I mean there's other youtubers are better than me and stuff. I try not to compare Myself with them. Um, you know, I try to My reviews kind of my way and not try to Do the same with it Like how other viewers do because they do it a lot better and everything and I don't want to kind of copy that type of style I want to try to find my own style and my own way to do reviews and stuff but Yeah It's a learning process. I go back and look at some of my old ones and I'm like, yeah I do too, but I They're for like remembering this is like this is how I started and Slowly trying to grow better and see when I first started I did some of my favorite figures first And I've debated on, you know, there's so much out right now Anyway, but I've debated on going back and re-reviewing some of my very first ones This guy here. I never completed reviews I did I think three limbs And I didn't do it because I was just like, uh, this is horrible So I never really finished complete doing this one guy and I'm thinking about redoing it as one thing or Something else see I didn't start reviewing new figures until siege came out because In my mind, I was just getting started. So I was focusing on g1 because nobody was doing g1 at the time And I had somebody in Uh a comment section asked when are you ever going to review some of the new figures? I'm like, well, I'm not everybody's reviewing those And he told me he says man. Nobody watches your reviews for the figure They watch your reviews for you And that just stuck with me Sage advice from patriot brine all right, so question number nine What is the one thing you find the hardest about being a youtuber? Uh, well Lately right now what I was going to been it's just having time to actually sit down Do do the review because I don't do a script. I just do it Whatever I you know off the off script whatever it's calling everything and right well Life that's kind of happened with me right now It's kind of hard to actually get time to sit down and actually do reviews and everything Jen edit post them up and everything being to stay at home down. Do you think I have a lot of time but new really All elites hits me. What's What's the one thing you find the hardest? Well, like uh, jonathan said it's the time I got a full-time job. I got a kid got a wife and just finding the time To come up and for me I've got to be in the right mindset if I'm like feel like I have to do something or if I'm rushed I'm going to sit down here and just screw it up the whole time. I got to be in the mood And to do it of course. I'm kind of double duty and with regular figure reviews and toy hacks reviews And it just I got to be in the mindset. I've got to find the time And what's aggravating here? I live right in the middle of the town I've got the road right here by me. So there's only certain times of day I can film without you hearing cars in the background Now I've got a damn bird's nest right outside my windows through the daytime All you hear is birds chirping in the background of my videos, which is why there's music in my videos now So That's the thing for me. It's all time I've got plenty of stuff to review. Just when am I going to have time to sit down and do it because for me Doing a review, especially the way I do it because a camera faces me Then it goes to the figure them back to me again. Am I editing and everything I do a 10 to 15 minute review can take me two to three hours That's because I'm so damn picky It's gotta be just right No, all right. So last question Do you have any channel goals for yourself and where can our viewers find you? This is your chance to plug your channel Well My goal for being a youtubers. I don't really have a go. I'm just doing this as a hobby for fun and hope to help Other people make a decision on the figure that they've been on the fence about and everything So I yeah, I'm not looking to try to get you know, the thousand subscribers So and all this other stuff. I mean, this is just for fun. And if I try to make it into like a business or anything I it won't be fun for me at all And where you can find me is on youtube jonamus prime 84 There is a link to jonamus primes channel in the description of this video And one of the things I thought was funny about jonamus was last week burt Did a scooby and shaggy impersonation like he was talking to each other So jonamus reached out to burt and says hey, man, I do a good shaggy Can I take your scooby and combine it with my shaggy? burt says yes And so jonamus made one and he uploaded it burt's original videos like two to three hundred views jonamus redid it and you have how many now it's over three thousand, right? Yeah, it's like 3.3 k I don't know how At all Really, I guess I just hit the right time zone for upload knit or something I guess or shaggy must have been trending or something Like man, he was sure hungry That is a good one. Thank you Well We forgive you That's all right Well, that is pretty much it. That's all of my questions. I'll leave that open to the chat right now We'll stay on for a few more minutes.
