Actually, I'm planning on doing the Throttlebots in a week or two as I found the box with them in it. -Ralph |

Oooooooh! Throttlebots!
If I made a robot with the intention of having it strangle people, I'd call it a Throttlebot.

Ha! They were pretty funny videos man. I think you could improve them by actually having yourself in them, rather than just a voiceover? It's hard to tell what's in the picture if I'm on the other side of the camera so unless I'm on, er, on location in someone else's house where I can get a volunteer to hold the camera... -Ralph |

We should totally do Throttlebot videos at the same time!
Does anyone else want in?

I have Wideload, Rollbar and Searchlight... Not sure if a video of me saying Throttlebots RULES every 10 seconds would be entertaining  . I want to give the toy review stuff a go at somepoint. I would'nt mind reviewing Metrotitan, Black Lioconvoy or some other goodies. Not sure if now is the right time. I feel right now that I'm happy being a spectator for the time being watching Ralph's vids. |

The Bomb-Burst rocket pack sound effect sounded like he was using a fart to take off.
No no no, it's Submarauder that goes underwater. Bomb-Burst is a flying thing that always gets whupped by Metalhawk and Cloudburst.
Points for the sentence "He has natty grey trousers, which I suppose are useful."
Loved Crosshairs' sideways dodging.
What is the distinction between an a space asteroid and the ordinary kind please?
Double points for the 'Oh dear' and 'Yes' on the closing credits.
Overall verdict for reviews 2 and 3: Mighty.

I filmed a Demo Take in one sitting and it went terrible. I will show it though if I can edit some trimmings onto it. It's not easy trying to do a toy review with the wife calling upstairs at you wondering what's going on and 'who' I am talking to. Still, you guys can have a good laugh at my expense Ralph, going to look at Sprocket review now. I think I'll leave the toy reviewing/showcase stuff to you. Maybe Hasbro should give you a job. ===KEN |

I thought Blot was a mutant Toad? I had heard Blot described as a Nose Monster in the past, and that is how I tend to think of him. I feel rather sorry for Blot. He really didn't do very well at that interview did he? As for the Sprocket review - as is well known, I'm not a big fan of Actionmasters but that review manages to make Sprocket seem tremendously exciting and rather a fun toy. I'm enjoying the way these reviews are giving me completely new perspectives on toys I hadn't really thought about much before. Karl |

Genius. The job interview format is definitely the way to go with toy reviews.

Youtube compression has annoyingly killed some of the resolution but nonetheless I give you: The Adventures of Action Master Thundercracker: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVXfySjH-CQ-Ralph |

I found it singularly moving... it had an operatic quality to it, and conveyed all human emotions - a true tale of lust, loss and redemption. Brings a tear to my eye.
Oho! Des-ter-on! Powah! Powah!
Ahem.

A great tragedy, just as the monster of Frankenstein only wished to be left alone, Thundercracker sought only his sausages, but a cruel and unkind world could not allow him to enjoy heat-tempered protein cylinders in peace. Tragic.

Nick and I filmed some thrilling toy plastic fun a few weeks ago to submit to another youtube channel. If that lot don't want them they'll turn up on Stardub.

Around £10-20 depending on condition, completeness and luck. They do tend to turn up more often on Ebay Germany, sometimes in mixed lots. I think mine was a tenner IIRC with all the bits. Some paint chipping on the robot but that's par for the course with AM's.
