Jesus. I knew you weren't gonna like it, but I didn't expect you to DESPISE it. This is why I'm glad I don't care for other people's opinions more than some people do, because I bet some people will be frothing at the mouth for ALL of this. Not me though, this is entertaining as all hell, even if I love the figure
Really important skill to have
Learning to enjoy other people's opinions, especially if it's not that important of a topic, rather than immediately cursing them out for it is a good virtue to have.
As fans of a franchise, we really need to practice humility and respect a lot more so we wouldn't constantly divide ourselves from others.
lol idunno when i see something like this i usually listen to the arguements and start to see bad sides of the point myself
thats why i am often dissapointed in something i bought and watched a review after
Yeah, I absolutely love Transformers Prime and hearing him hating it is kinda funny. His videos on why it's bad are so entertaining even if I wholeheartedly disagree.
Reaching a level of apathy that you no longer care for truth and logic isn't exactly a good thing
If anything you're just showing that you lack the ability to listen and shift your opinion based on someone else's perspective.
I can only imagine what horrors PE saw when he googled “beast wars silverbolts feet”.
I actually just went straight to the show, so I didn't have to deal with that.
@@PerspectiveEndsmart
I'll give you this, he is way better than whatever Beast Machines Silverbolt was.
Of course, *'she'* can't find us here.
Ah yes, the deluded and mentally challenged one who believes having a negative opinion about a fictional character is like bullying a real person. Even I tried to talk some sense into her that was *about* the toy, not the character or the show, but those words didn't go through her thick skull. Even said ''freedom of speech'' has become a problem for ''bullies'' that have an opinion and that opinions are like weapons of civil war. W h a t ?
I have the entire conversation between me and her on a saved instagram story on my hobby account. I still get a chuckle and laugh at her dumb belief.
i mean literally ANYTHING would be better than the abomination that was beast machines silverbolt
so you're kinda damning with faint praise there aren't you
Ok that's not fair!.. But yes.
Um… „who“ can‘t find us here?
@@EvexiansVideoworks there used to be a commenter on this channel who would go around harassing anyone who spoke ill of beast machines
one day perspective finally had enough and blocked her from commenting
I remembered buying this and was weirded out why he had some random hinge joint on his chest for no reason and brought back my PTSD of the Legacy Insecticons
Unlike them this one actually works though, which is almost weirder.
I feel like if the modern Beast Wars figures were screen accurate, people would complain that the sculpts are too smooth or featurless or whatever
I wouldn’t fully agree, the SS 86 line (for the most part) is quite smooth. And nobody complains about that.
I don't think that'd be the case. If anything some slight fur, skin and scale texturing would've done wonders to modernize the figures.
Silverbolt and Rattrap are tied as my favorite transformers. And I'm in the same boat as you. Though, I'm not so much furious as I am disappointed. Congratulations Fuzors Silverbolt for getting a 2nd figure. I just wish I could love you.
The Transarts Silverbolt cannot come fast enough.
Both Voiced by Scott McNeil.
And yeah, I rage, but the disappointment is real. And same, Transart better not mess up again.
When I saw his headsculpt the only thing I could think was "I can't let you do that, Star Fox!"
The fake hinges are show accurate...
Even the wings, so I don't see what's the problem here...
The problem is the rest of the figure that isn't show accurate
Well 1, the wings are not show accurate in any way shape or form, so I'm not sure what you are talking about there? They are bigger in the show, more mobile, and mounted Hinger in the robot mode, and lower in the beast mode.
And 2 yes the Fake hinges are show accurate, however when they've changed THIS MUCH just for the sake of making it not like the show model, why leave that one part?
@@PerspectiveEnd I think I remember seeing this exact comment on a TFW forum, are you sure you're not the same person? Even other people corrected you and said how wrong your opinion was.
@@PerspectiveEnd The only things you highlight in the video that are "unfaithful" to the original are the claws and the wings (the wings are faithful to the show) and with that you can say that then the figure should not have the false hinges on the chest ? The figure is fine, you have every right to hate it, but I feel that you are somewhat misguided in where you want to direct your criticism.
Where is the paint? They are saving it for the show "accurate/ premium" 2-pack version they are going to eventually release further down the line.
I mean even if they were, that's not going to fix this things issues.
3:42 Bro got confused then angry💀💀💀
It would not be the first time.
"It's Legacy Shitbolt"
And that's all I need to know about your thoughts on this figure : >
Indeed it is.
Personally, all the things you mentioned in robot mode ,to me sound extremely nitpicky(apart from the paint distribution, that's something always pissed me off about hasbro, Legacy Cybertron Starscream is a good example for that, amazing figure, his legs are devoid of any color, they should've taken all the red from the tail fins and put them on the shins)
As for the beast mode, yeah, i get it, but to me all the beast wars toy beast modes looked awful (until we got to the transmetal 1 era.), no matter if it was vintage or modern, so I'm a lot more forgiving about their mistakes.
I was super worried when the first images leaked, thought it was going to be shit. Was pleasantly surprised by the in-hand feel of the figure, plus the posing and transformation are in fact quite strong.
I disagree about the Transformation, it's boringly simple, but I do think you are correct on the other two points.
@@PerspectiveEnd it’s an above average transformation imo, just wish the legs did something.
I was wondering if I was the only one that thought the figure just didn’t feel like silverbolt. You can’t believe how happy I am for you to review this. Thank you so much!
You are not alone brother.
Yes I do miss the question of the video.
I never knew how much a waist swivel would hurt a figure so much
i think its a very good toy and a ok version of the guy
The fake hinges are for accuracy
My point about that is, if they are changing just about everything with the sculpting, why leave that part?
@@PerspectiveEndI….. understand now.
I FIGURED OUT THE CENTER CHEST HINGE. The plastic on the neck is different than on the chest. They needed to attach it somehow so they used that hinge.
This is the best example of when the TF team go too animal accurate than cartoon accurate on a toy, still both modes look sick though. Silverbolt is awesome and we need the rest of the Maximals and Predacons in Beast Wars!
Sick is right 🤢
I don't agree that both modes look sick. I could say so for the Robot mode, but not the beast. That thing look goofy.
To be honest, i think the wolf headsculpt looks kinda adorable, but that might be just me :p
I can see why you feel that way. There is a witlessness about it, like the dopiest of dogs.
I definitely agree with ye.
@PerspectiveEnd Also, his opening jaw does look like a dopey and dumb little smile which adds to the cute factor, and also represents Silverbolt's character quite well, me thinks
I feel like it would help you to know that the lead designer on this toy was from Takara. Silverbolt was his first toy, and he is the world’s biggest silver bolt fan.
I really want to get the original. This thing looks fucking freaky. But I cant afford it because it is so expensive. I’m just going to assume the Beast Wars Reissue line in cancelled because it just as never had an announcement in like a year, so i’ll see what i can afford on eBay. The original Fuzor looks great.
Actually, I got mine on ebay, for less than the Voyager. You can find em mostly completely for 30 bucks or so if you are willing to not have the package.
damn i really hated the way you despise the figure. its like. cmon man, youve said the figure is pretty alright and theyve been doing this for years now. but i get it i guess. I mean comments are pretty chill and at least you spoke both your truth (not liking it) and saying an objective truth (its quite a good figure). So i can not complain, good job i guess. Other content creator with such a hate for this wouldve said it is trash just for not being what they expected
I always try to be objective. I understand that what I like, does not have to be good, and what I don't does not have to be bad.
I wish I loved this thing. I don't buy figures hoping my money is wasted, but I can't pretend this hit's the spot for me.
i totally get it man, still thank you. Your reviews have been helping me a lot tately and as a bw fan i just know what to expect on this boy :)
mmm, i keep getting into situations where its like, "so heres the figure" and i'm like "hmm not bad it looks good" And then it replies with "THIS THING BLOWS SO HARD MY HOUSE SHOOK"
how do i keep finding these situations!??!!?!??!?
That was a great summation. Though maybe I'm biased since it's like something I would have written.
And I don't know, but I think I found my long lost brother.
just admit already you actually don't like this brand. The boy who cried Transformers. When you like absolutely nothing does anyone care anymore?
When did they ever give an indication that they would move away from the realistic beast modes? The behind the scens for tm2 megatron mentioned how hard it was for their pc to render the model due to all the scales they added for dragon mode. Tigerhawk they showed a diagram of what sculpting parts were reused from tigertron and airazor. The realism isn't going to stop anytime soon by the looks of things
I think his head looks off because its not "furry enough", it looks like they were trying to get it as close as they can but are leaving enough room to evoid being accused of being a furry.
But Dragon Megatron, and Tigerhawk, look WAAAAAAAAAY more accurate to the show models than anything else. I'm not too worried about some reused textures here and there.
And maybe that's what they were doing wrong with the head.
we should’ve gotten quickstrike first
Why first?
Oh my Primus dude take it easy on the figure it's amazing figure to go in top 10 for me.
considering beastwars silverbolt hasnt had a new toy in 20 fucking years, Im taking ANYTHING SO DONT YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT MY BOY.
But he deserved so much better.
I just hope the Transart figure is good.
😳wow… I haven’t seen someone tear a figure a new one this hard since jobbythehong’s review of bold forms gladius yet I’m comparing an absolute shit of a figure to a figure that honestly I thought is good but didn’t realize all its flaws. So is it bad design wise yes but fun factor it is not bad to transform which I’ll say is a win for me cause while I like beast wars megatron from kingdom I have more fun transforming his transmetal 2 form more and even the Jurassic park version of the mold feels better to transform
I've gone on figures harder before, but I do freely admit this is decent, it's just doing a lot to make me specifically Hate it.
Let's just hope transart silverbolt is better
There's no way it's less good.
I think the feet were changed to make it easier for him to stand since his original feet are shaped weird
Even so it’s kind of a stupid thing to complain about, no one cares about the feet on any figure unless they make it impossible for it to stand
The old figure didn't really have a problem with that, and it was way more back heavy, and didn't have ankle tilts.
I mean I care. It's just yet another aspect of this figure that doesn't look like the character.
Easily the most annoyingly negative reviewer
They should’ve replaced Beast Wars Silverbolt with G1 Silverbolt and make this year’s combiner (if there is going to be one) G1 Superion.
This is definitely a solid figure, but he could definitely stand for much more loyalty to the original show model and more wing articulation
I'm glad you are enjoying it more than me.
I think the hinges were there because the show model had them. He did. I've rewatched Beast Wars at least six - seven times over the course of six years. Don't argue with me, boy.
I know they are in the show, but they changed just about everything else with his sculpt, so why leave this one aspect?
I'm embarrassed to put this beside Black Arachnia.
I don't even bother with it my self it's such a joke.
I've been noticing more and more that these figures are...off somehow. Like, it "looks" like the character, but at the same time not. Not as obvious as Legacy RiD Scourge, but it's there. They can't make up if they want toy loyalty or animation accuracy. It's so much easier to make anything after G1 (yes, including most of Beast Wars, but not including Prime but that was always BS'd), but it seems confused like Legacy Sandstorm having a toy accurate head.
But with Beast wars the toys after Transmetals were actually REALLY accurate to the show already, so if they went this way, then youd think they'd make it look more like it's supposed to but the way they are just picking and choosing SOME elements is insane.
Super excited to get this for my younger sister as Silverbolt is HER favorite BW Character! Then ill pick up the BW again deco of Kingdom Cheetor for my youngest sister, BW Kingdom and Legacy go so hard for me, except Scorponok but hey ROTB Scorpys got me covered there lol
I'm glad that you are liking it more than me. And honestly your sister will probably be more forgiving of this things inaccuracies than me.
0:05 yes, gimme more questions
I will try to remember this.
The “realistic” beast modes in Kingdom and Legacy was a mistake. Completely taking away the personality from every character, and sometimes making the robot modes a touch uglier with the “realistic” textures.
Agreed. And it didn't make them fit the style of the line more, it just made them less accurate for no reason.
I will say that for me personnaly i am fine with how this thing looks. Its close enough to the design and i dont care about the finer details that much. also it is LITTERALY my ONLY option for beast wars silverbolt since the transformers aftermarket in denmark is basicly NONEXISTENT so i have no way of getting the origanel
Edit: also the fake hinges are showaccurete so they arent something to complain about
That's totally understandable.
The reason I complain about those hinges, is they changed everything else, so why leave that one detail?
While I do see your complaints, and can agree with a few of them, mainly about the wings being too low on the back and the beast mode tail feathers being too short on its rear, I still really enjoy this figure. I’d give a solid 8.5/10. The only major thing I would liked to have seen given to this figure are calf swivels. Calf swivels would have allowed the front beast mode feet to go perfectly flat when the legs aren’t tabbed in; the way they are now doesn’t allow for them to be completely flat against any flat surface when they’re untabbed.
But again, I do really enjoy this figure, from robot mode to beast mode. It also helps that I don’t have a preference for realistic beast modes against toon-accurate beast modes for the Generations figures. I can see the appeal for both options, I just don’t have a major draw to picking one side over the other.
Of course the biggest thing this figure does for me is get me antsy for a new Quickstrike figure. While that Quickstrike most likely would have realistic animal elements to his beast mode, which would displease you, so long as it’s made entirely out of solid plastic it would automatically became a better figure than the original version. That original Quickstrike was 80%-90% clear plastic, and even though I got a brand new copy it did not take that many months for the feet become loose as all hell. It definitely needs an upgrade.
Also, side tanget, if we were to get a new Optimal Optimus figure, what size class do you think it should be? On the one hand, a leader class size would make him more affordable. On the other hand, he was the largest character in the show so making him commander class would not only allow for a more accurate size, but also a lot more features and posability.
Glad you are enjoying this more tha me.
I don't know that Calf Swivels would really save this thing, the problems with it aren't really that the beast mode legs aren't flat enough.
But it doesn't look realistic? It's 1 a Chimera, and 2 it's a Really Botched Beast Sculpt, and 3 the bird leg aspect, doesn't look even remotely realistic.
Hopefully a Quickstrike is good. If it's not being made by the same guy it probably will be.
Commander is probably best for the size, but I don't know if the design had enough complexity to be a Commander.
I bought Silverbolt even after watching this review, and I'll agree he's probably not as accurate as he could be, but I still love this figure. It's just kind of fun for me, and it's funny because I never liked Silverbolt. He was always my least favorite design and character in the show, and yet this figure finally got me to fall in love with this guy. I don't know how but Legacy United actually got me to enjoy Silverbolt
I'm glad to hear that. Like I said, it's a figure that I think is good, but I hate.
Old figure has better claw feet. New one has flat feet.........😅 why Hasbro? Why? How he can attack enemies with that flat feet?
Also the old figure had a separate rear toe, so he could pick up figures.
I’m just glad to have a modern Silverbolt to go with Blackarachnia. The original is definitely better, but he’s too short to fit with Blackarachnia. That’s literally the only reason I bought him. Also, I really like him.
I'm glad that you are liking it more than me. My hopes now have to ride on the Transarts one.
Not gonna lie, this video was quite suprizing, the fact that Bolt is one of your favorite BW characters ( hi to a fellow flying wolf fan ), or the reaction at the end resolt.
As for my take,. the robot mode is dicent, but I do agree the head look's rather stiff. And the beast mode has wonky proportions to say the least, especially in the back.
And as for the question of the video...
As far as fuzors go, if you could pick, what non-show characters you would liked to see get a new fig and why?
Yeah, I've not talked about him much, though I've not had much cause to before now.
The rear of the beast mode is a crime.
Injector. I LOVED injector as a kid. He was my favorite Fuzor.
Bought this along side BB Megatron and never really gave it any thought since Peak was on the shelf beside him but... ya, I can't help but agree. I am fine with him, but this could have been WAY Better. Mine also has the issue of loose wings, they are so floppy you'd wear he broke a bone
Either way, he is now holding Blackarachnia in his arms between the Maximals and Predacons on my shelf and aslong as he can do that, thats great
I think putting him With Blackarachnia does add something, since it feels more right that way, but at the same time, she's covering for his failures... Apt honestly.
My only problem with this thing is that it can’t do the robot mode missile thing from the show.
Also (5:19) the elbows bending pulling out the beast mode leg is actually show accurate. (Crazy, I know)
Yeah his shooting pose is one of the most iconic things he does, so it's super lame that he cant.
Personally I don’t like this figure and never bothered getting this, but I was expecting Perspective to love it but damn I stand corrected. Though I can certainly see why he’s not a fan. That’s some weird engineering…
Yeah, most people thought I was going to love this thing, and I wish I did.
Too bad, I am loving my own Silverbolt. And I think you could mount the wings over the shoulder without taking away the waist, just build them like Siege Starscream
I'm glad you are enjoying it more than me.
If the wait for a new silver bolt wasn’t like 25-30 ish years long this wouldn’t feel as bad but why drop the ball this hard like the birddoggo deserves better, wish they’d drop the realistic beast modes at this point.
Also if they do a quick strike silver bolt and him will probably be made into that premium finish 2 pack so we’ll get this in good paint but with all its flaws.
Exactly, he deserved better after all this time.
Yeah that would probably be the case with Silverbolt and quickstrike, unfortunately premium finish can't save this guy.
I decently like this figure, the size of the wings really did bother me as well...the main sin this figure has committed is one that a lot of legacy figures have, it's just boring, especially after handling the original. I think i know another reason they do the beast leg peg in thing and it's something i kind of appreciate, things with 4 legs are sometimes hard to get all feet flat on the floor when posing and having them pegged in kind of helps with that, it's a problem i had with figures like commander Sky Lynx.
Yeah that's something I didn't hammer this thing for hard enough. It's so Boring!
I was definitely underwhelmed with the figure too. For me it was the colors. Repainted it myself and it was already x10 better. Just a bit of drybrush on the fur and wings took it from a 6 to an 8.
Yeah that would help a bunch, as one of this things issues is just how lifeless it feels.
The one take I will 1000% fight you on: Every transformers figure NEEDS a waist swivel. Take that away and you practically have a brick of a figure.
I don't agree. You can do a lot to make up for a lack of a Waist.
@@shirothenoodle1810 Disagree. I believe there are more important articulation points. ROTB Airazor has no waist swivel and she can be quite expressive with her posing.
Honestly I hate toy loyalty too. In my honest opinion, if you want to make a new figure look like it's old toy then re-release the old toy and add some new articulation that won't compromise it. Missing Link Optimus showed this can work, so they have no excuse.
Exactly. Either make it a full update, or make it a new thing.
Video description perfectly wraps up mine and most people reaction to how you felt about the figure. Oh and yeah the wolf’s head is a massive downgrade compared to the original
It's almost rude to the original say it's a Massive Downgrade, it would be terrible if there were nothing to compare it to.
Damn I just had a staredown between this and animated Optimus to get earlier today. Sorta regretting not prime but I still like silverbolt regardless of its inacuratecies and flaws cause I cant seem to find a good condition silverbolt and this is the newest figure of him.
The Optimus is pretty fun.
Those extra hinges and molded detail in the chest and shoulder confused the HELL out of me in the transformation, since I tend to try to not use instructions. I enjoy the figure though, but I guess once I get to his part of the show my opinion may change, still only on episode 5 or 6 of season 1
Hopefully you continue to like it as much as you do. And he had the hinges in the show, but they changed So much about this design, why keep an aspect that can confuse people.
Dang yea this figure does have quite a few problems. I’ll still get it since I need a chug silverbolt but I realise the transart silverbolt will definitely be a necessary purchase
Yeah I'm going to have to get the Transart as well. Here's hoping they don't fall on their face again.
I saw the figure, didn't like it, but assumed you might like it more as the Beast Wars guy. So hearing you hate it too was surprising.
I hate it because I'm a Beast Wars guy. They messed up my boy so bad.
i'm surprised you didn't rail against the tail even harder. its horrible. the legs are farther back than it. like, a tail has one job; hang off the butt farther off than anything else, but this tail doesn't even reach his rear legs.
I mean I made fun of it calling it a micro mini skirt, and complaining about his moose knuckle. I felt like I hammered it pretty hard.
It seems like this figure is suffering a death by a thousand tiny horrible design choices. Like you said, this figure from afar looks like it passes as a quality addition to Legacy. He's not as immediately and obviously horrendous and cheap as Kingdom Rhinox is.
But then a closer inspection of this guy starts to reveal all these little things that really, really bother or disappoint you, piling onto each other and snowballing into a bigger and bigger disappointment until you're just left with this awful taste in your mouth just by looking at him.
This Silverbolt is definitely deceptive in his ability to disappoint, because I was totally on board with him based on all the product shots until I saw this review.
Absolutely, it's just wrong in a million small ways.
And I'd say from far away he looks fine in robot mode. In beast mode it is Apparent that he's bad no matter the distance.
I absolutely hate how the beast mode turned out. The transformation to beast mode is just downright garbage. This is a character I was really looking forward to to getting this guy in Legacy but man was I disappointed when I got him. I honestly can't wait for the transcert version, hopefully that one will keep the transformation similar to the original and it looks like it's going to have the wings folding over the shoulder to fire the missiles. I just hope it's way better than this.
The Transart one is our only hope at this point. Hopefully they don't Drop the ball again.
Let's hope. Hopefully if it's good and we can get Windrazor and the universe 2003 deco
heh, waist, waste.
i'm gonna skip silverbolt, he wasn't one of my favourites in bw & money isn't abundant
Totally understandable, and this hasn't earned your money.
I did not realize just how much better the original looks than the new one. I was totally 100% in on this until you showed the transformation that had random parts that don't do anything. I'll just get pounded on Ebay for an original. Thanks for the really in-depth review here.
No problem, happy to do it, and I got my OG one after this came in, on ebay my self, FOR LESS than I paid for the Legacy one, and that thing wasn't even scalped. So it's just all win for me on that front.
Truth be told, the only thing I'm bothered by is the tail. His tail should not be that short. They also shouldn't have done that to the feather arrows/bombs
Oh yeah! Way too short. It looks so awkward to have his legs go past that.
The shoulder hinges are from the show, same as the chest hinge, that's not toy accuracy that's screen accuracy...of course Silverbolt had those in the show for toy accuracy so it comes back around, but I like them.
I agree about the wings, hope a third party steps in and gives us big wings with forward hinges, not sure if anything can be done about the tail feathers.
The face feels wrong because it's neutral and Silverbolt was constantly making expressions or tilting his head in confusion.
The tail would be super easy to replace so yea let's hope DNA design makes a set that replaces 99% of the eagle parts lol
I was gonna Defense the figure but you got the point this figure is got thing wrong and honestly I'm not sure if I should buy it or not but at least the figure look fine
It's probably fine yeah, but man is this thing designed to make me angry.
All i can say is atleast he's reunited with the dark poison of his heart
They can now be terrible figures together now
I mean yeah, her figure elevates this thing a little, but not enough.
Update:
Hes a fantastic toy! Super excited to see what my sister sees in him, i have no complaint except maybe more of a knee bend
I'm glad that you are liking it so much more than me.
This entire review needs to be remained "rost a mans: legacy silverbolt" because it what is it.
That's what I was aiming for, because I figured it would be more fun than me just raving in rage.
@@PerspectiveEnd to be fair at some part you was extremely pissed as if you talk about toy world constructor.
I disagree on everything you just said but you never fail to entertain me. Good job, PE.
Glad you enjoy this figure more than me, and I'm glad I can still make you enjoy the video.
Should’ve just made a more articulated update of the original. I also have both and feel the old one is better.
Agreed 100%.
I saw this at Target and put him in my basket. After about five minutes of staring at his lifeless face I put him back on the shelf. Silverbolt *NEEDS* an expressive face!
Then just draw the face with different expressions?
If it's an action figure, a neutral face is acceptable. If you're trying to animate it, you dont want a character stuck with the exact same expression.
I don't see a problem with having no expression on the shelf toy. If you really want to make him express, just draw it.
If you want him as a toy to play with, then literally just use your imagination to change his expressions.
@@keilafleischbein59how are you supposed to draw on it and why are you so offended
Absolutely. It just doesn't have his character. It feels so hollow.
I’m not sure I should be blessed or ashamed that my eyes are idiots/untrained, cuz I legit didn’t notice these sins until you said it
Hey, at least that means you will probably enjoy it.
At this point the colors are wrong on purpose so we buy the premium finish version 2-3 years later
Quite possibly yes.
oh lord save this thing you literally had to put the review on hold at the start just to be able to swear curse at it
That's how full of rage this has made me.
Just exactly how I feel about Studio Series 102 Optimus, but this one is sad to see given it's Silverbolt that got disrespected by Hasbro.
Honey the new PrespectiveEnd video just dropped
Edit: WHY do shitbolt's wings look like that?!
How did honey enjoy the video?
@@PerspectiveEnd honey said the video was straight fire and not biased.
(Honey is also wondering if you have plans to reveiw legacy gears?)
still want him though, also jesus your sleep schedule is bad. i thought going to sleep at 2 am almost every night was bad
Yeah, it's been kind of hellish.
Missed opportunity. The original is far superior.
I agree.
And they got rid of the coolest thing ever his firing Wing missiles
They are missed, but weren't expected at this point.
I bought him sight unseen cause I love Silverbolt, and when I got him out of the box it just felt... wrong. The fake joints, the weird proportions, the goofy headsculpt. And then his beast mode just made things worse. I got him on sale but was already thinking of returning him, now your video is kind of pushing me more in that direction
(Admitted he has grown on me since the first day, but seeing the original figure next to him really drives it home how subpar he is)
This and Animated Bee are my first United figures and I gotta say, I love em both. Even with my love for the character I just, have a great time messing with it. The Fuzor aspect is something I love and am excited to get Tigerhawk for, and hoping we get Quickstrike soon too. Maybe they'll do another premium finish line if they make those two. Animated Bee, it's a fun little compact goober that takes me back to my childhood. Glad you liked that one, as for this I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as much. Same with SS Rhinox and Origins Jazz considering the former I directly recommended.
I'm glad you are enjoying him more than me. I expect this means you are a little less familiar with the character than I am.
I don't think Premium finish will fix this thing.
@@PerspectiveEnd I wouldn't say that, I have probably watched season one more than the rest of the show but only because that's what was available to me at the time. He's grown on me a lot since seeing the show in full.
That could very well be the case. Again I'm sorry it didn't pan out in the end. Here's hoping for that core class Dinobot at least.
to me he looks fine but the biggest sin is the lack of color
I mean Silverbolt should be mostly Silver, but I think what this lacks is Personality. It's so LIFELESS.
I don't always agree with Perspective, but man when he makes me laugh he makes me LAUGH
mooseknuckle onwards had me LOSING it
That's what I was hoping for. I prefer not to be angry and projecting it onto people, but angry and turning that to comedy.
*sigh* Why are we here? Just to suffer? Another day passes where Mr End doesn't review Core Class Ratchet and Ironhide. Is this what death feels like? Cold, empty, and stripped of all relevance?
My heart grows weary as I fear I won't live to see the day they Perspective End reviews Core Class Ratchet and Ironhide
I didn't know you were so dead set on me reviewing those.
You know why that hasn't happened yet?
Because I put them on a shelf that's behind my desk as part of a Display. So I forgot they exist.
@@PerspectiveEnd nah I just thought over dramatizing was funny. I'm just a big fan of Core Class
I grabbed Legacy Silverbolt, not because I'm attached to the character or wanted the figure. I grabbed it since it was 30% off and I already have a Kingdom Blackarachnia
Damn where did you find it for that price already?
@@PerspectiveEnd Target
The waist is really important for people that don't have a lot of figures. It's really sad when the thing you will mess around with for a long time can't do some poses that you want to.
(BTW, I think you contradicted yourself a bit when you said that the toy is the best representation of the character, but then complained about the toy loyalty. Not a dig at you, just want to know what is your opinion)
It's not a contradiction, but I think I may have not made the distinction clear.
This has a problem because it's trying so hard to not be the original toy, changing everything about the sculpt and the way stuff works. But every now and then it shoves in these details that shouldn't be there if they are trying to make it a new thing.
And toy loyalty is where they force in some aspect of an old design, but say the broad strokes of the transformation are not toy loyalty.
Like look at Optimus, his head flips in, and his arms go back on butterfly hinges to form the sides, while the legs become the bed of his truck. That's not toy loyalty, that's just the classic Optimus transformation.
The original toy, does the transformation he is shown to have in the show, this does not, yet it forces in details that shouldn't be there when they changed everything else.
@@PerspectiveEnd well, beast wars is known for impossible transformations (just look at dinobot), but overall, yeah, thanks for the clarification
I can definitely see the flaws. The head looks lifeless but tfb that's a flaw with literally every figure nowadays, the wings are mounted pretty low, the feet are weirdly small, and most of it was designed to fit in a waist swivel and look very loyal to the original. But, ngl, I just wanted this figure for one thing: to stand. The original copy I have has spaghetti legs at this point thanks to the balljoints and whenever I take someone on the shelf I risk him falling off for the upteenth time. While this new one doesn't look as good as it should, at least he has nice and tight joints, and him and Blackarachnia are the appropiate size at last.
I'm sorry to hear that. That's at least not a problem my copy has, Honestly his legs are extremely stiff on mine.
@@PerspectiveEnd I've tried to Pledge the joints but it hasn't worked. :(
Also, to someone who grew up with Silverbolt being a Concorde and one of the Aerialbots. . . This REALLY looks nothing like him!!
I mean... ... ... Yeah...
@@PerspectiveEnd Lol. I know, I know. Everyone's going to be, like, another 'Geewunner'! But don't get me wrong, there are some great 'modern' figures that have been remoulded to look like G1...Figures like the much maligned Legacy Bulkhead would have looked great in the G1 cartoon, even if he doesn't look anything like the 'Prime Universe' figure he's meant to represent.
It’s a good figure but a bad adaptation
Excellent summary. Though I would argue the altmode looks terrible.
well the fake hinges ARE in the cgi model, so no, they are NOT wrong at adding the detail as it IS part of the show design....the fuck with the chest hinge though, then they cry about having too little budget to add a single ankle tilt in ss jolt which is already tiny as heck
See I agree with that, but they changed just about everything else about the sculpt, so why is that there?
If they are doing a new thing, that shouldn't be there, if they aren't then the rest of the changes are the problem.
This doesn't know what it wants to be.
@@PerspectiveEnd i still like it for the most part but yeah. That animal mode... To me the main problems are beast head and tail feather placement, i do love the kingdom realistic animals, ok , some of them,
3:43Holy shit that scared scared me!
Sorry about that. I actually cut 3 decibels off the top of that because I was worried it was too loud, but it seems like I didn't go hard enough.
I think it looks fine for what it is, though it’s the same thing with Vector Prime with the fact it resembles the original, but look closer and it just looks so wrong
Also 8:50 Sums up a lot of things nowadays
Well the difference here, is that that's a Retool. This ONLY had to be accurate to this character.
So that's a pretty seriously Successful Retool, while this is a Complete Failure of a Solo Tooling.
@@PerspectiveEnd I mean fair
Both still look like skinwalker versions of the characters compared to how they’re supposed to look
I'm not sure if he likes the figure or not
Hmm, maybe I hid my feelings too much. Damn my forced positivity.
well to address the who is cyclonus argument, I have my own reason for thinking it's skywarp, loyalty, specifically Unicron's effect on personality
we all know that during the movie Unicron constantly had to discipline Galvatron for disobedience which if he could alter a bot's personality you'd think he'd program out of him and make him loyal, so the fact that he didn't when he most certainly would implies he can't so if Unicron can't make a bot more loyal, then how could he make the treacherous bombshell loyal but not Galvitron? however if Cyclonus was Skywarp then loyalty wouldn't be an issue as he was loyal to begin with, all Unicron would have to do is make him a bit smarter which there is not evidence stating he can't do
TLDR Galvitron's rebelliousness proves Unicron can't make bots more loyal and thus Cyclonus can't be bombshell
I tend to agree. I've always thought it made more sense as Skywarp.

TWELVE! THAT'S TWELVE TIMES THE RATTRAP MAFIA BROKE SOMEONES LIMBS! AH AH AH AH!
I miss the question of the video very very much
I will do my best to bring it back.
I think I'm just not a fan of his design. Way too much gray for me
I know that feeling, one of your favourite characters being made an alright toy, but because you already liked the character a lot before you notice how wrong the figure feels. The explanation for this I think it is just that the it looks accurate but is so limited by how crap the toy is designed which prevents it from being peak that you know could have been avoided, making it a missed opportunity so big you resent the toy for it
Who comes to your mind when this happened to you?
@@PerspectiveEnd studio series roadbuster that thing is a backpack mess. The doors of the car that supposed to go on his calves just goes on his backpack too while his calves has the fake door, like WHY!?
