Animated Leader Ultra Magnus / Universe Ultra Silverbolt

[Incepticon]

Curiousity got the better of me, so I went and searched out this Dynasis guy. When you click on his page, a video loads of him hyping his upcoming 100th review along with a request that he gets to do Universe Silverbolt first. Fair enough, but obviously he as well as his "fans" VASTLY overestimate his popularity if they think every TF fan and/or reviewer on the world wide web would see it, let alone ever know about it without being told. And that's assuming they would even care in the first place.

Overall, this is an entirely new level of geekdom I never even knew exsisted until an hour ago - that inane YouTube reviews of all things actually garner some sort of clout and can cause nerdtastic keyboard warriors to come out of the woodwork. And after watching a few of this Dynasis guy's reviews, I think he's kind of a clown that should worry more about actually reviewing the figures and less about the accompanying history lessons & commentary. It's not as bad as Sean Long with his intros in a Prime helmet holding a Matrix model and quoting Rodimus from the original movie, but it's nowhere near as concise & to the point as Peaugh or D-Banks.

This is easily the silliest excuse for net drama that I have seen in a looooooong time, but out of pure principle, is nothing Pascal or anyone else should be flamed for. There's nothing stopping Dynasis from posting his own review chalked full of sidetracking & G1 recaps once he gets the figure, and nothing stopping his "fans" from enjoying it just the same.

God this is stupid.

This comment made me LOL. If you don't know who someone is, or that they even exist, how would you know to search for them?

If you being a dick means you show us advanced viewings of upcoming figures... then please continue to be a dick. I for one appreciate it.

Since when does "calling dibs" work on the internet?

Can I call dibs on reviewing Optimus Prime (all versions) from Transformers 2?

Are you serious that guy said that?? lolololzzz!!! There's no such thing a calling dibs on doing reviews on youtube! All one can do is make a better review than another.
Is there like some kind of website ppl can go and discuss who's going to do a video review 1st and 2nd?? Wat a glitch!

No you can't! dyansis said that he wanted it to be his 150th review and he was going to dedicate it to the memory of his childhood dog that died when he swallowed the right hand fist of his original Optimus Prime...he told me...trust me it will be epic...dyansis will be really mad...dyansis commands it!

I dunno, I love reviews with character profiles. That's what truly gets me into the figures, having a connection with the "personality" and "history" behind the figure's on screen (or in book) character. I love learning new aspects of their bio. I rarely buy a toy simply because "it's a cool toy" (it usually has to be a cool toy -and- a cool character).

Dyansis isn't really a clown, he's spirited and loves his Transformers. He's a good guy whose brain short-circuited a bit with this request.

Pascal, thanks for the Magnus review, I was already going to purchase this toy because it is another version of Magnus. You just cemented that fact, now I know he's gonna look awesome on my shelf!

Merci!

Ultra Magnus is awesome. Silverbolt is kind of weak, but it is a very nice update of the original. Both shall be mine Thanks for the review as always man
