Combiners That Don’t Combine? How Did They Make That Good? | #transformers universe 2008 Onslaught - Розваги
Honestly we need more stand alone figures of combiner characters, these guys are more then just a limb they are characters god dammit
Tell it to the G1-ers.
@@thebrandonrobert5693 yep, unfortunately they will be the biggest ones throwing a fit
Yeah each member is awesome but they get overshadowed by the big bois
The 2010 Botcon version is killer.
man i love that clench
And expensive/hard to find. Been looking for once for ages.
Botcon was legendary 😢
@@SilverScarletSpider i wished they did one last wrecker set to tribute their first ever botcon event the wreckers
I have it as well and I somehow managed to get it for free lol
3:45 the flap can be pushed up a bit to get it out of the way. It's still super annoying but it somewhat helps with handling him.
Yeah it’s on a slider idk how he didn’t figure that out
@@qxillanote9952 I picked mine up second hand about 5 years ago and that fap was terrifying tight to get up there, I can understand him not figuring it out if it's stuck like that.
Was entering these comments to literally say just that. Glad someone else beat me to the punch.
@@DanielThomasHuttonwoah woah woah you did WHAT
Yesterday might've been Thanksgiving, but it's still NNN!
@@danieldees9686 phrasing
This is genuinely one of my favourite toys of all time. It's easily one of my favourite TF designs
It's so good it convinced me to get Stormcloud and Darkwind just to have a cool set
It's so good it's convinced me Onslaught is my favourite combiner member
He's like an 8/10 overall but idk I'm obsessed
This is such an underrated figure. In some ways, I like it more than CW Onslaught. While the G1 figure is tall and slender like CW, the thick , sturdy look ssuits a character who transforms into an APC. The only real negatives to me are the siren mishap,transforming the rear/cage/legs, and the gun barrels on the turret being easy to lose. Mine were loose and fell out somewhere.
It’s much better than the CW Onslaught, I’m glad I got rid of it
The sound effects
* A machine gun
* That sound when you unlock the car with the remote
He's one of the few figures from that "era" that not only have I kept, but he also still sits on my crowded shelf.
The arm cannons are likely limp due to being in the stored position for so long that the spring lost its strength. Same thing happens if you leave a Nerf gun in the ready position for years.
So cool! I remember seeing this, the leader Powerglide and some other Universe 2008 figures in the Argos catalogue back when I was a wee lad and being so excited about how cool they all were! I never picked them up, but seeing this again, it looks like the ultimate kids' dream toy!
I have the Hardhead version of this mold and it's honestly pretty sweet. They also fixed the siren loop for that version so while I like the Onslaught deco a bit better I'd highly recommend Hardhead to someone who wants the full electronics.
Ngl I've always wanted a Retool of this guy as Lord Straxus
Ooooo that would have been sick
Luv those ratchets. Years later and it still sounds super stout. But poor Onslaught didn't get to show off his flip out toes.
Had this guy as a kid. Am adult now, can confirm. Glad to see he holds up though, will probably get him again in the near future.
Got this for my birthday as a kid and absolutely fell in love with it
I bought it at the Sears store years ago.
One of the BEST Transformers I ever owned.
Too bad for the _woop_ bug though.
Still have this figure from when I was a kid. For an older figure, he really has a Presence that I love.
This alt-mode makes me imagine a world where, as an extension of Barricade being a dirty cop, Onslaught is his commissioner that makes a mild fuss about his dealings if only to keep up the bare minimum appearance of procedure but actually LOVES the crooked shit that Barricade does and rewards him under the table.
Crazy that I'm this early , anyways awesome review loving this design of onslaught !
It's crazy that they didn't properly program your Onslaught's siren! I got mine secondhand so I don't know if he was processed where your batch's was, but my Onslaught's siren loops and I've had him for a while!
Yep still have this guy! Your damn right about him being underated. The Powerglide from this line is really good too.
I should track one of these down to review.... Also good work. This reminds me of a animated figure though with some of the proportions.
This Onslaught is so good, I still display him on my shelf, repurposed as G1 Grindcore.
I honestly might get the Hardhead version since it is probably the closest thing there is to an IDW Hardhead toy
One of my all time favorites. He's on my shortlist of "never sell" Transformers.
We need more non-combining combiners. Like this guy and animated swindle. Heck give me a leader class tlk onslaught while we’re dreaming
Love how this dude I making the probaly forced statement of “this is for adults” thing a joke. Even more comedy!
It was my first ever transformers toy and i even still have it but unfortunately the cannon barrels are missing but still a really solid figure
That's an awesome figure. I repainted, and re-headed mine in to Strykka.
This man gives me mad animated vibes. It seems like tfa swindle took a lot of design cues from here
You mean "this takes some design cues from animated swindle" since this came first or did swindle's apperance in the show come after this???
@@charperalta9489 I think it was around the same time
@@CarnoReviews huh ok
I still have my OG version and yes..this us 1 of my favorite universe 08 figures too. I wish we got the whole team. The butt flap can be pushed/slid up onto his lower back. Dope review.
Duuude my f-ing childhood. I've had that decepitcon for YEARS.
3:40 for when he’s charging the beam katana
A fellow NMH fan. I see you're a man of culture too.
@@dustinarmstrong1168 _Moe~_
A No More Heroes joke might be the last thing I expected to find in the comments section of a Transformers toy review.
I have a silverbolt from that line. I still have the fugure but lost the blaster and the dart. I even put the figure in a school time capsule that wasn't opened until I was in grade 9.
The backpack cannons do tend to fall off, other than that it's a fun figure.
i used to own this in 2008 brings back memories
I have this one with the butcher upgrade kid
It's pretty sweet
I was bidding for this exactly figure on Ebay the other day, what a coincidence
I picked him up at my local toyvault for like $15. That siren noise was a pleasant surprise
As I understand, there was a second run of this guy that DOES have a working siren. Mine is a "first edition" that just gives a woop like yours. lol
I love combiners that don't combine, GDO Hot Spot gotta be one of the sickest of all time
I’ve still got mine, and his lights and sounds still work.
The one I used to have the cannon barrels fell off a lot if you so much as breathed at them, had to glue them in
I agree it's still a good looking figure. Since you showed Kingdom Warpath the Generations deluxe figure is still one of my old favorites.
This was just an overall great figure design
i think you raised the prices up lol can’t hardly find a complete used one for less than forty
I remember the 2008 onslaught and I miss him
the rolling noise sounds like a weird AT-AT walking
One of my first transformers
The leg cages themselves might not be that brittle, but I've heard the pegs the cages will connect to might break, I've seen a few copies with that problem. As for the robot itself...I've been on the fence with this for a long time, have had several chances to buy him really cheap but still held off on doing it (okay, I actually missed to put a bid on one auction, which was also a new and unopened bot in box for just 15 euro!), sooo...might get him one day, might not. Doesn't feel very important in my collection but still a cool robot to have.
I never had the onslaught but I did have the grimlock version of that mold
I actually own this version of onslaught because I live nearby a retro game store which is where I bought my G1 1984 Mirage which is still in its packaging.
The vehicle mod had me thinking of Minion from Twisted Metal 2
The siren on mine fully works
This guy was my first Transformer ever
I got this guy earlier this year, he's amazing!
Later in I got his upgrade kit that gives him more weapons and a headmaster head!
Also, his buttflap can be slid upwards
God I had this as a kid and wish I still had it
I love the emgo shout out
The legends figure (repaint of Cybertron Legends Red Alert) is a nice non-combining version aswell.
I got two of this guy (most of the parts that fell off are gone but I can probably find enough to fix at least one of them)
I got both this and the hardhead version at the same time as a kid but I don’t have hardhead anymore, does anybody else remember the sound effects glitch being the opposite on hardhead where the siren was continuous but the gun sounds only lasted a second
I used to have this as a kid and my parents HATED when I used to move his legs or ram him into my optimus prime because of the fucken sounds it made😭
We used to live in a small apartment so whenever I played with my leaderclass or anything with ratchet joins they could hear it while watching tv...
Actually saw this used for 30 at tftoys (the physical store in alberta), but didn't really know much about it so I bought something else. Kinda regret it now.
weirdly enough I love non combining combiners?? you get to enjoy them as characters instead of simply pieces of a puzzle. This onslaught, universe Evac, Gto Hotspot, universe drag strip, botcon breakdown, arms micron wildrider, the Prime protectobots set, movie aerialbots and vortex etc
I get you. I like having a solid, sturdy and stable final product that looks good and plays good, over something that has cool gimmicks but are fiddly and fall apart when playing with them. Not the same thing exactly but it's also the reason why I don't mind partsforming when done well.
This is the creativity modern “all about accuracy and scale” lines have gotten rid of. We need this stuff back.
God I love when combiner characters get to be their own thing. TFP breakdown, Animated Swindle
I love it! I want more of them to be their own characters
Animated Prowl was basically Groove, at least design-wise.
@@TornaitSuperBird Botcon should've repainted him into Groove, right?
I actually had one of these like 10 years ago
I have the hardhead with upgrade kit and he’s fantastic
This feels like the tonka of the transformers line.
I’m pretty sure that butt-flap can slide up to get out of the way better.
Oooohhh.. I would love to see a legacy Bruticus. G1 or Fall of cybertron, either way, it will be epic.
I’m still trying to track down the Hardhead version of this mold with the upgrade kit
Hey from Newfoundland
Turned into a cod video for a second 😂
There is an upgrade kit for this that converts him from a decepticon to an autobot...new sticker sheet,extra back pack and weapons and even a replacement head thats a headmaster
I used to have him. I need him back.
NICE Figure
A collector store near me has one for ten or 20 complete
I definitely love this figure
I have that onslaught but I use him as my Fallen.
I wish I bought this when it was in store’s
Warpath would be a perfect tank tribute to Emgo, cause red and black
The siren basicly sounds like it’s saying ”owo”
i almost got one afew times (it's been in my ebay wishlists every so oftern but usually been below warhammer stuff in priority
It would have been amazing if a design like this appeared in transformers 5 instead of just re using Long Haul's head
Ah I remember onslaught and having this figure. Sad he's misplaced 😭
This guy looks Awesome
8:20 that's odd, my copy has a looping sirin
on my copy the siren was looped, not sure what is up with other copies
Can you please do combiner wars combiner (preferably sky lynx) or a fossilizer review
I always thought they should have named this figure Barricade instead of Onslaught
The combaticons were and are my favorite!
Leader Class Sentinel Prime is the closest to an Emgo reference
Here in the Philippines we're reaching 40°C
I love the vehicle mode but I'm not a super big fan of the robot mode.
The Takara version of this Onslaught got the looped siren sound, and the colours are more accurate to the cartoon
I still have him as well as his two wave mates: Silverbolt and Powerglide. Love them. Ultra Class figures are so huge
I have a universe 2008 Onslaught myself but the siren has a loop. Maybe I have a modified one it's been to long to remember.
Lol why does the siren sounds like a text message?
Love this figure, Mines currently on my dresser rn, unfortunately I lost the riot shield, 1 Claw, and the artillery on his back, the feet cages, and one of the feet are loose, other than that tho, love this figure, my one big issue with it, may just be my copy, but when folding the wrists in, they are ridiculously difficult to pop back out, this lead my copy to be fistless for YEARS… yeah younger me couldn’t get them out at all lol
Update I found one of the artillery missiles and they are near impossible to put back in… I noticed screws on the turret so I thought I could just pop the top off and put it back in but nope… 2 of the screws are completely inaccessible and I don’t think opening up the entire toy to gut it from its electricals to put back the artillery until I at least find both… might not even do it at all, looking for a tear-down video but one probably doesn’t exist so urm yea 😅
Can you review the legacy metroplex I have it now and I think it is awesome but I want to hear what you have to say about it.
I have Power Glide form the same series and same class size.
