GUYS!

We just hit 20k. I can’t believe we actually made it here. Just over two years ago, the channel wasn’t even at 1k subs, and now there’s hundreds up hundreds of names that I see pop up every week for whatever videos I make.

I am staggered by the love you guys send my way. This year had some real bad spots in my personal life, and the channel slowed down a bit during that. And yet, the last three months of August, September, and October are the best in channel history!

I have big videos in the works to thank all of you so the support. This month, you’ll be getting MTOs for Smokescreen, Optimus Part 3, and Cheetor, alongside some Monday Features I think all of you will enjoy.

But for today, today all I can say is thank you. I’m going to do a livestream at 4pm est, so about five hours from now. I’d love to see some of you there if you have the time, we be going for a few hours.

ARTIST ALLEY FOR NOVEMBER!

Hey, guys! I’ve already had a lot of submissions, but please keep in mind that I’m still accepting submissions for the BW Community video until November 20th.

For that, it’s a two minute video describing your favorite BW toy. That includes the vintage line, reissues from that line, and modern figures of designs from that original show.

However, we’re also going to have a normal AA this month! The character this time around is Cheetor! You have until December 1st to submit your fanart!

Usual rules. It has to be your own work, it can be an official design or your redesign for Cheetor, and submissions need to be emailed to me using the address in my channel description.

Users Generative AI need not submit. In fact, why not take a long walk on a short dock? Maybe the bath will get your brain working, I hear cold water is great for thinking.

‪@KwakyWacky‬ just posted a new review!

Imagine actually having fun with this hobby and not just trying to be an endless ragebaiter or a smarmy weasel. Who could have guessed that it would have taken a TF YouTuber literally touching grass every video to be so cool?

So happy Kwaky finally got this review out, it’s an amazing little glimpse into how she views the hobby.

I could have sworn someone was telling me they were doing a Gathering Dub.

If you’re the person that was telling me about their IDW Beast Wars: The Gathering dub, please let me know. I’d love to audition for it, I have a massive soft spot for that miniseries.

I thought they told me it was in the community tab, but I’ve kept an eye for weeks and haven’t seen anything.

Guys, I’d love some feedback from all of you.

Back to the Beast Wars, my retro reviews, was only ever meant to cover the 1996 figures. However, many people have expressed interest in seeing releases that came after 1996.

My issue is that every other year of the toyline has at least one figure in the mainline that is unable to be reviewed due to GPS or fragile plastic that couldn’t survive a video.

1997 has Silverbolt. Him having GPS also means I can’t review Magnaboss, the headline figure of the year.

Grimlock and, worst of all, the show character Inferno would not be reviewed for similar reasons. They’re just too fragile.

1998 doesn’t have a show character, but the fan-favorite Torca can’t be covered due to GPS.

The single largest omission? Dragon Megatron has GPS. Forget not being able cover the entire toyline, I wouldn’t even be able to cover the entire show cast or every version of Megatron if we got past 1996.

That’s where I hit the problem. I don’t want to risk my collection to shoot videos, and I don’t know if I’d like to cover the other years if they would have to go forever incomplete.

There are other options. I could expand the series to include modern BW figures, like the 10th anniversary guys, Kingdom, and figures of BW characters from other continuities like Animated Blackarachnia or Cyberverse Cheetor.

However, the options that I think retains the original intent of the series would be for it to end outright in 1996. I guess I could expand the series to cover things like my Armada or Generations collections, but I honestly don’t have much interest in reviewing those figures the way I do the BW guys.

I’m leaving it to all of you now. Tell me what you’d like to see happen with this series

Can’t wait for tomorrow!

I know it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I still think this will be my best video yet.

Guys, I’m doing the final render on MANY Toys of Jada Street Fighter right now.

It’s the best one. It’s the best MTO ever. I think it’s the best video I’ve ever made. Not one of the best, THE best.

It comes out this upcoming Wednesday. I know it’ll not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially with it being the first non-transformers MTO.

I don’t expect everyone to love it. I just know that I have so much pride in how this video turned out that I can’t wait for it to come out.
