Matthew "Thew" Adams (born October 19, 1983) is a legend and beloved British Transformers toy reviewer. A fixture of the UK fandom and regular sight at TFNation, the country's primary Transformers convention, Thew made his official debut on the brand as the host of the virtual pre-show for Hasbro Pulse Con 2022.

Official convention appearances

• Hasbro Pulse Con 2022, pre-show host
• Hasbro Pulse Con 2023, main host (fancy)

Hasbro Pulse livestream appearances

• October 27, 2022's 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event on YouTube, with Ben MacCrae.

Notes

• Thew is known for his love of Skywarp, his grindcore accompaniment, and his observations on the absurdities of the spoken word through the medium of appropriate portmanteaus. (Portmapproprianteaus?)
• Like the fandom titans of yore, Thew has been the subject of Easter eggs in official media:
  • A "list of signatures" in Cybertronian text for a petition to "Save the Singlehorn" in the Cyberverse episode "The Immobilizers" included "Threw" [sic] Adams alongside various not-Thew Transformers content creators in a message thanking them for supporting the show.
  • Hasbro toy designer Mark Maher jokingly listed Thew amongst the incarnations of the boisterous bartender Maccadam (a fandom joke noting the Cyberverse incarnation's similarities to Thew) he studied while crafting the Age of the Primes figure of his mystical secret identity Alchemist Prime.
  • In the Cyberworld episode "Storm the Desert", Grimlock calls Bumblebee "Bumblebeans", a joke Thew originally made reviewing the Robots in Disguise Titan Changer Bumblebee.
