If I could choose only one reviewer to watch, it would be Thew.

Second is a four reviewer tie of RocketPunchArmy/Bobby Skullface/Ben's Collectibles/Vangelus.

You guys gotta watch these. I think he's a buddy of Thew (he voices Skywarp). They're friggin hilarious

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I have watched all of these and I love them! He starred in the MP Bee review too

[SureShot18]

My favorite TF reviewer has got to be Thew-need I say more? In second place is Vangelus, he's pretty thorough and has a nice sense of humor. My third is probably emgo316 because he reviews a wide variety of TF product and third party product. I also find him mildly entertaining. TJ Omega is good for the TF Addict but I find his normal reviews kind of bland and boring.

Oh mah gawd. I have a new favorite Youtuber.
*Don't worry Thew, I can have two favorites*
Warning: he can be pretty NSFW.



I suggest you start with his MP-36 review!



There's one thing.... ONE THING that I hate. With the fire of a thousand burning suns:



Seriously. It feels childish. You're not Batman trying to save your loved ones from reprisals. And I'm not saying you have to show your face, I'm saying show it or don't. Jobby here does it, but so far is the only one I like enough to look past it (Skullface/Emgo ugh...).

[Stuartmaximus]

I like Optibotimus, Emgo, Baltmatrix, Benscollectables, Peaugh, Chuck's Transformers, Kuma Style....ect

one of the funny ones i've seen is John Bailey(Jon3.0 or Prime Reviews)

i like Thew for his KO/Bootleg reviews

btw any of you seen this one before?

(if only all reviews were done like this )

[shajaki]

I gotta give this thread more love



Funny as always, glowing recommendation, but honestly I'm not sold. 99% chance I'ma pass

So after something that happened with Optibotimus, I stopped following him and don't watch his reviews anymore, not that I did much anyway.

But I say that to then bring this up: Optibotimus used to be THE name for reviews. And now, his videos seem to be getting fewer views, and he has now been surpassed by Emgo as the top TF youtube reviewer. I have to say it must be because of his arrogance and his Twitter, he is absolutely terrible on there sometimes.

But I found that interesting and wanted to share.

What did Opti do?

What did Opti do?

Do you have a Twitter? If you follow him, there is a lot that he does.

The main one that stuck out arrogance wise was when there were a bunch of people posting reviews for a figure from I think early 2017, late 2016. He tweeted basically: I better get on the ball, can't let these lesser reviewers outdo me and take my viewers!

And then I really lost it when he directly criticized the site for a MP-36 online shopping story to help with the orange plug, a story that even our sponsors liked and asked to be put on if they hadn't been already. The story had to be pulled because of him and put back up a few days later.

He also forbids his reviews from being posted on this site. It's a shame cause over the past 2 or 3 years he really went down the toilet. He's not fun to even read or watch anymore. He got really personal about things, and he got very political, which didn't help at all.

And it's a shame because his reviews used to be very helpful for hard transformations, but now I can't really watch it.

Emgo does deserve all his followers though, that dude is amazing, and I still really enjoy his reviews and the work he does to make sure everything is as perfect as he can get it

Really? What if say, I (a regular Seibertron user) posted one of his vids in the forum? And why wouldn't he want his things news'd? Its all hits right?

And no, I don't use Twitter

If you'd do it he would have no issue, unless one of his bigtime followers saw you post it and told him, which seems to happen a lot as well.

And I'm not sure why someone wouldn't want their video spread out more. The only way I can see the issue is that someone else is getting hits just like him, and he doesn't want the other place to get the hits as well. He has become that petty.

On the topic of good reviewers though, Thew will be uploading a 10 shots 10 bots video again here really soon!! He's doing edits to the vid as of last night

Just watched it myself while eating dinner. Dang that toy is cool! We need a new generations one

And in case some folks weren't in the know, Thew has a gaming channel now called Playgrind. And he's currently playing (and almost done) Transformers (Armada) for the PS2. Lots of fun

Jobby has finally gotten to Dinobot
