    it’s a real treat to see this guy in motion, most of what ive seen of him is just the photos on the wiki, new content of this big lad feels very special

      Thanks very much for saying so, it’s great to share so people can see him too.

    Great video! Man, that bot mode is a quintessential G1 brick!

    Neat video. Grandus is great as a little (well, big) base. Love all the control consoles, garages, and the elevator.

    Such a brick. LOL Still would love to get one someday. 😁 I would have sat there on the floor for hours as a kid, letting my imagination run wild. Sure wish they would do an Encore version of that line.

    I am happy to see this great review to this amazing Japonese figure. We found Grandus in the same time, and i decided to create the missings parts.. It was normal to share this parts with you, i am sure, some days, you will find the originals ones...

    Early on I had the chance to pick this 1 up, but I passed. Awesome that you have it- thanks for showing it! Definitely would make a cool playset!

    Fantastic review! This has to be a UA-cam first or at least very close to it! I’m more familiar with the Brave Dagwon Dagbase version of this mould due to The Collector 75’s vid from after TFN 2019 funnily enough and I heard it had been retooled a bit for that release. The front of the aircraft carrier is totally different and Grandus has really cool Fortress Maximus-esque cannons on his legs. It retained the spinning radar dishes and antennas feature though. It’s a phenomenal playset, bristling with weapons and comes complete with super launchers!

    • @RetroActionUK
      @RetroActionUK Рік тому +1

      Also just noticed the aircraft carrier mode has ‘371’ written on it, which is Grandus’ number. How cool is that?!

    • @asterian75
      @asterian75 Рік тому +2

      ​@@RetroActionUK Yes, very cool, the Japonese Cybertron toys number write in the toys...

    • @ToysareRuss
      @ToysareRuss  Рік тому +2

      Thanks. I think it might be the only grandus review. So I’m pleased everyone is happy with it.

  • @privatespoon77

    There’s a line on the wiki page about this guy that makes me laugh “the creator of the Triple Changer must be spinning in his grave”. Thank you for these videos. It’s nice to see good quality videos of these rare pieces.

    • @ToysareRuss
      @ToysareRuss  Рік тому +2

      No problem. I will get around to doing videos on all of the others soon too.
      That quote is funny, I’d not read that before.

  • @asterian75

    You must show the BEST G1 Vehicule combination !!, GRANDUS and METROPLEX in a special video.

    • @ToysareRuss

    I paid a fortune for this guy a few years back. Haven't seen another in the same condition since. 2400 dollars US

    • @ToysareRuss
      @ToysareRuss  Рік тому +1

      Sounds like you’ve got yourself an amazing figure then. Plus as crazy as it sounds at a great price as I’ve seen this go complete for double what you paid.

      No I’ve not done the battle stars platform video yet. You’ve just reminded me though. So I’ll get it done this week.

    This needs the Titan Class treatment.

    • @ToysareRuss

      Definitely and obviously with loads more articulation.

      True. I doubt very much I’ll ever find an original though.

    terrible robot, awesome playset! pretty much went full circle to the diaclone playset-robots of the pre-transformers era

    • @ToysareRuss
      @ToysareRuss  Рік тому +2

      It’s hard to actually call it a robot as it has no articulation. Play set though is ace!

    • @David315842
      @David315842 Рік тому +1

      That makes sense as they had quite a few of these robot-esque playsets for the smaller human figures.
