Vangelus is a Euro-Asian fellow who lives on the west coast of Canada. He was known around Youtube, a few spots of the Transformers fandom, and the forums of TGWTG.com as a toy reviewer. On the 56th edition of Transmission Awesome, it was revealed that he was going to be one of the newest producers and will bring with him his exciting and informative toy review series.

His online media hobby began when he was inspired to try creating digital music by his good friend DJ Enigma (AKA Hydrophidian) during a 90-day vacation in Japan in late 2007. Later encouraged by his friends King Laffo and Facecaptain, he tried working in the video medium. He's now in possession of an HD camcorder and is trying to teach himself the Final Cut Pro software suite.

HIS REVIEWS

He makes videos about toys as he considers himself a "well adjusted man-child". He started with the online Transformers fandom back in the 1990s, also participating in several of the neighbouring fandoms over the years. In 2008, he saw many Transformers reviews being very deadpan and non-entertaining. So, he decided to create a review series with a humourous slant because of it.

He likes to talk about toys and share his accumulated knowledge of useless trivia about them and the industry that makes them. His videos are often co-habitated by an assexual set of text subtitles (called "The Subtitles") who berate, correct, and abuse Vangelus while sometimes crushing on aspects of the toys or fiction he is covering. Vangelus and The Subtitles share what is best described as a highly-abusive platonic bromance, and have had their partnership tested by malicious forces on more than one occasion.
