Go To

"Dinobots are all the rage again! With all these new dinosaurs showing up in stores, I thought it was a good time to see the last time Dinobots came back into the fold... I kinda wish I hadn't taken a look."

Release: May 30, 2014


Tropes

  • Bad Boss: To his current transformation staff. He blows up Timothy, and after learning they actually transformed Mega-Dinobot correctly...blows up Jeffery too...
  • Deadpan Snarker: When discussing the initial release plans for Grimlock and Swoop:
    "They were meant for Universe [1.0], a toy-line of repaints released alongside Energon to expand the Transformers brand without overworking the development team — and looking at Grimlock, it's clear nobody worked too hard on him."
  • Jerkass: See Bad Boss
  • Insane Troll Logic: Jeffery tries to convince TJ that he and Timothy transformed Mega-Dinobot correctly. TJ's response?
    TJ: "Now Jeffery, let's get something straight here! I'm a toy reviewer on YouTube, which clearly means I know everything!"
  • Lampshade Hanging: TJ acknowledges in the video's comments box how the skits with his transformation staff lampshade a common complaint of the series — that he never shows the transformation on-camera.
  • Oh, Crap!: Upon seeing the box picture of Mega Dinobot, TJ realizes his assistants didn't screw up the transformation after all. Not that it phases him for long.
