Is Transformers Legacy United Nucleous Really Worth the Hype for Collectors?
Today we take a look at Nucleous, the latest Armorizer figure in the Transformers toy line. Essentially a repaint and retool of a previously released figure, Nucleous is also a reference to the original G1 toyline.

MIND-BLOWING Transformers Legacy United Animated Motormaster Review
Переглядів 4014 годин тому
Today we take a look at the latest release of Motormaster, this time from the Transformers Animated series. The Legacy United version of the Stunticon Leader is a retool of the earlier released Animated Optimus Prime. The character though was inspired by professional wrestlers from the 1980s and 1990s.
Transformers Legacy United Ferak review
Переглядів 3014 днів тому
Today we take a look at Ferak, a character more feature in the comics. This figure is a weapons engineer for the Decepticons, and is an exclusive to Wal-Mart stores. Larry and I would also like to express our sympathies over the passing of voice actress Morgan Lofting, famous for portraying the Baroness in GI JOE.
Transformers Legacy United Energon Galvatron review
Переглядів 3621 день тому
After we celebrate eating turkey, we shall take a look at Galvatron from the Transformers Energon series. It's hard to not refer to this toy as a turkey, since it is essentially a repaint of Energon Megatron released earlier this year.
Transformers Legacy United Geocron review
Переглядів 22Місяць тому
Today we take a look at Geocron, another figure from the Infernac Universe. While Hasbro and Takara made an effort to make him resemble characters from one of the Japanese anime series, he is still a cheap retool of a figure from earlier in the year.
Transformers Legacy United Armada Galvatron review
Переглядів 18Місяць тому

      We shall. I hope that I'll be able to find that reissue Soundwave so I can review it.

      Thanks. That skit was totally improvised, as Laserbeak wasn't supposed to fall off. I couldn't totally hold back the laughter at what all happened.

    I remember my cousin had both the Laserbeak and Ratbat releases as well. I was so young at the time to notice the differences.

      It wasn't until I was an adult collector before I realized that Frenzy was offered twice. I had the set with Ratbat as a child.

      You're welcome. I agree that I would love to see HCC788 do another video, or even the weekly live stream.
