Optimus Prime himself reviews the toy Generations Darkmount... from the creative mind of jON3.0.

Now that's how toy reviews should be done lol! Informative and really funny. I hope there are more episodes to come in future. The only thing I want to nit on though is the camera. I found it was a bit too sluggish at some spots for my tastes. Other than that though, I have nothing more to say other than that was a hoot to watch :KREMZEEK:

Enjoyable but isn't there a review section?

News Credits: 129 · Thu Oct 07, 2010 12:28 am

I looked for a review section but didn't see one. I'd be very grateful if you would direct me?

A thread as opposed to a forum, have a link. :grin:

This review ain't normal, it damn well deserves it's own thread! Nice stuff as always jon.

Lol! The whole idea of optimus prime saying oops just makes me laugh. XDDD That's pretty funny man.

My favorite thing about straxus is the torrent becomes the legs, I think that part is really awesome. x3

Great review, once you've sorted out the slow frame rate and shutter speed it'll be superb! Don't post in the review thread though - post them here so everyone can see them easily.

OP, if you do this, your reviews will be locked and deleted. Blurrz has said that this has merit as its own thread.

Further reviews will need to go to the review thread.

Thank you.

This was just the premiere episode until I could find where reviews need to be posted. Thanks for the info. I always strive to follow forum posting guidelines. Got the review thread from Pretender Skywarp and I now have it bookmarked.

Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback! I'm going to review more than just Transformers, but I'm only going to post the TF reviews here. I suggest you all keep checking them out though, because even if it's not a TF that Prime reviews, there will be strong TF undertones.

"It goes POW POW!" And the sound effects! I was literally laughing out loud... and the voices are perfect. You're really good at this. Just figure out the camera framerate and you're all good. I will definitely be looking out for future reviews. "This toy could totally kick that other toy's butt". XD

LMAO @ "Pow pow bang bang!"

Great work, Jon.....as usual! You always make me laugh! :lol:

This is a hilarious review. We should make this a feature on Seibertron.com!

Dude that's hilarious, excellent work.

Really? Wow! I would be honored! My computer-animator and I have been wanting to discuss doing videos to promote seibertron.com but I've honestly been so busy doing voiceover work that I just hadn't gotten around to contacting you guys. LOVE the shirt I got at Bot-Con btw.

Anyways, if you ever want me to put together some promotional stuff don't hesitate to ask! I'd be glad to do some PRIME Reviews sponsored by Seiberton.com instead of Moonbase 2. I try to promote great TF sites and I'm tired of being swept under the rug by tfw.

Drop me a line sometime! http://jonbaileyVO.com

Can't we just have a seperate forum for reviews instead of locking every thread and getting an arse on with the posters that took their time to make and share with us? That review thread sucks, nobody wants to wade through X amount of pages looking for a particular review.

Wherever they end up being posted, they need to continue. I watched it in my office at work and my employees came over to see what I was "giggling like a schoolgirl" about.

Nice work.

This review is priceless, and I'd go so far as to add the word "classic" as well! I retract my statement in another thread where I said that reviews didn't need to be entertaining, just focused on the figure itself. This was pure win on all counts.

The menacing G-1 bumper voice was spot-on, and was perfect for the reading of the bio. The Prime voice was disturbingly close to PC's own. I seem to have gotten into the habit of saying "it goes pow-pow" in a gravelly Prime voice every few minutes at work-thanks a lot!

Keep 'em coming, Sir!

That's for certain. It's easier to do one of these reviews than one my dubbs or the all-original CG stuff that I do. So yeah, there will definitely be more.
