Such a cool toy, and I'm so glad they're remaking it. I hope Legacy Thundertron gets the same repaints as the original! I would kill for a modern Alpha Trizer.
One of my favorites. Always loved the main retail’s shade of blue, the claws being the shoulders, and how the beard goes to the bottom of the chest. I don’t really think the new one looks too great, it seems simple and similar to Titans Return Alpha Trion. The blue also isn’t as good. The one improvement I’m seeing is that the new one’s tail doesn’t start in the middle of the body.
I absolutely love the Prime Thundertron figure, and I am beyond ecstatic that at least from a glance the new Legacy one does not look like a Lio Convoy retool like I was expecting, but the new headsculpt feels like Thundertron got turned into a direct to video Disney villain from the 90s at best. I haven't seen a single picture of that headsculpt with any sense of menace whatsoever and it's a huge bummer.
So, I don't know this guy at all, but when I saw the legacy reveal, i thought he looked pretty sick, and decided I want him. Then you go and make this video, showing me this version, and he looks SOOO much sicker, like the delta coof sick, and the other is omuhgod varient. The claws on the shouldrs, are amazing, and so is the "waist coat" thing. That parrot is really cool too. I want this version now. Usually the new variants look better than the older ones, AND have articulation. In this case, I don't think the articulation is horrible, but the new one will obviously be better there, but the overall look, is not even close. This guy smokes the other. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the pirate hat. But again, I don't know the guy at all, so that could be quintassentially "dude's name I can't even memberberry" and have to be there. I dunno, but I love this mold.
G25 Black Lio Prime!!! How do you manage to get your hands on these rare finds??? (Side note: I'm from the PH, which is scalper/hoarder country) PPS - shipping from outside the country (like Buyee) is always a risk. The super professional folks at our customs love taking these items home on our behalf
Just recently picked up the original blue version of this guy - *after* getting the Legacy version. What can I say, the spiky shoulders really give it a different feel. Good review!
While I'm not the hugest fan of the Prime era toys or Beastformers in general this is definitely one of the better molds the line put out. Well proportioned, not over engineered or flimsy, and some nice swords opposed to the dumb mechtech weapons most of the voyagers had. Legacy iteration looks fantastic, improved, and I like the Voyager price point. That and he's a pirate in bot mode with great color and head sculpt. Definitely a pick up in the new year. Looking forward to the reviews of Big Convoy, Magmatron. Great finds.
Between the second one we have in leaks, the alpha trion one, this, the mock ups ive seen of leobreaker, and now this. If HasTak is cool enough with the gen selects ill be buying a lot of Legacy Thundertron in the coming years.
@@isaacsussman5632 The arm was great in the show, and the overall design needs a new mold thats 100% accurate instead of "somewhat close" because he was a main character Also Alpha Trizer is Cheetor in the far future
I have the original thindertron and i think his robot mode looked so much better than the new one. All the personality is just gone without his iconic sholder spikes. The new ones bigcat mode is definitely better and will probably hold together better then the floppy old brick of a altmode he had.
What are your tips for browsing buyee. Can you do a video on that please? I seem to be sitting there for hours and never find the cool stuff you do. I have found the burning weaponizers and a clear animated bumblebee, but man do I can't that pink DVD starscream.
He is a lion right? I knew he was a lion from the beginning. But when they were introducing the new legacy figure, the designers keep reffering to Thundertron s a wolf. So I am confused.
When purchasing from Buyee, never and I repeat never use the cheapest Shipping option (By SEA). Because I did that and No Joke it took just under 6 Months from Japan to the UK. I could of swam there and back faster.
They gave legacy thundertron a near perfect mirror of the source, yet they couldn’t give bulkhead the same, bulkhead so far being the only prime bot that’s not a (p)repaint. Just goes to show that Prime engineering was top of the game in its time and thundertron here is no exception!
I prefer the original, so much. the shoulder pads are so awesome, which on the new, feels like... like everything in legacy "ups. we forgot about something. just make whatever. no one will complain". The translucent plastic give him such a cool image. which new one.... meh. I never got this one sadly. so will i get the new one to fill the hole of o not having tundertron? I am still on the fence
So THAT'S why he came back with Tidal Wave.
Such a cool toy, and I'm so glad they're remaking it. I hope Legacy Thundertron gets the same repaints as the original! I would kill for a modern Alpha Trizer.
Was thinking the same thing lol
I literally thought he was alpha trizor when I first saw the United toy.
Hopefully he turns up in Selects, he'd go nicely with Core BM Cheetor
@@VampireQueen1665 One is pink and one is blue
Bro I think you might lowkey be colourblind
The whole foot to robot-parrot fan mode is actually new to me. And it looks good, it really does!

Legacy Thundertron will 100% be retooled into Legacy Cyberverse Thunderhowl.
It would be cool if you're right, I'd buy that. Haven't heard anything about it happening yet, though...
With the swords on his Lion mode side it reminds me pleasantly of Liger Zero Schneider.

Not to take anything from the current Hasbro team but the new thundertron is DIRECTLY based on concept art for the original
I think it’s actually the Nemesis recolor from 2003 that goes for around $200. Only ever seen Big Convoy go for around $100.
The new thundertron is based on a concept art from emiliano santa lucia that had the bigger shoulderpads and the overall bulkier look.
I got the prime one without a head . All my chilhood i thought it was so mysterious 😂
Knowing that he's a space pirate, I'm suddenly interested in grabbing a Legacy Thundertron.

I wish my original Thundertron never broke
That was a cool mold, let down by a silly gimmic weapon. Looking forward to the update!
Only in Transformers can an entire figure be ruined by an unattached weapon
If you look at the Pulse Con footage, you can see that Thundertron does indeed have an ankle tilt.
G25 Black Lio Prime!!! How do you manage to get your hands on these rare finds??? (Side note: I'm from the PH, which is scalper/hoarder country)
PPS - shipping from outside the country (like Buyee) is always a risk. The super professional folks at our customs love taking these items home on our behalf
Prefer the old one. More sleek, not blocky, and less friendly looking. The new one looks like Santa clause as a transformer.
Just recently picked up the original blue version of this guy - *after* getting the Legacy version. What can I say, the spiky shoulders really give it a different feel. Good review!
I remember the lion head on my copy snapped off but I was able to glue back into place.
Can't wait for the new Thundertron figure!! Awsome review as always That Toy Guy.

gonna assume the blades coming out of the sides is a references to blade liger from zoids

Leobreaker from this would suck (no arm mode)
And there is no Alpha Trion one from Thundertron
@CrimsonAzure-fh6yb the arm sucked and Alpha Trizer.
@@isaacsussman5632 The arm was great in the show, and the overall design needs a new mold thats 100% accurate instead of "somewhat close" because he was a main character
Also Alpha Trizer is Cheetor in the far future

It's trying to be accurate to concept art for some reason which had blockier shoulders
I have the original Thundertron and Alpha Trizer, but im definitely still getting the new one. Im just so glad Thundertron is getting another shot
Make a combiner entirely out of Kenzan!
I can’t imagine having an animal head in your chest like this guy, it must be uncomfortable sometimes.
This paint job looks so good, I'm gonna buy this figure AND the new one.
This guy's got that Hydroid Prime color palette from Warframe
Is this the Transformers Go Version of the Thundertron toy?
What are your tips for browsing buyee. Can you do a video on that please?
I seem to be sitting there for hours and never find the cool stuff you do. I have found the burning weaponizers and a clear animated bumblebee, but man do I can't that pink DVD starscream.
If we slide-out the hip articulation (in robot mode), can the leg move forward further ?
Nice review bro 😎
4:22 Though Prime Breakdown is perfect for Legacy.
Almost has a beast machines vibe in these colors
He is a lion right? I knew he was a lion from the beginning. But when they were introducing the new legacy figure, the designers keep reffering to Thundertron s a wolf. So I am confused.
So was I. Everyone I know calls it a lion but I had to double check the wiki to make sure. It says lion on there
Can I find TFA Blackout for a decent price on Buyee?
I'd love for the new figure to get a Leo Prime repaint
The parrot isn't a fan mode, in the original figure that foot has eyes when in parrot mode
the "but wait, there's more" episode
Old one is waaaaay better

Wait legacy thundertrons release date was January 2024?
I GOT MY COPY ON AMAZON IN LATE DECEMBER 2023!!!!
When r u doing review for Tasmania kid
What toy is that GIANT gun from?
The new legacy thundertron is available on bbts guys, make sure to get one bc he slaps
Am I the only one with this exact blue version of his. I've had it forever. That's just an old repaint bro. Wondered why MI e had a peg leg.
I wonder is this will become cyberverse thunderhowl
why y’all saying nice if you haven’t even watched it
where are you getting voyagers for $40? thats the cost of a deluxe in BC 💀
The lion mode is built like a banana.
cool review😂
Nice review 😅
Why won’t Hasbro just make a revolver
also don't open the role play gun
Just looked up Alpha Trizer, he´s one head change away from being a great Alpha Trion.
I think it looks badass
Nice
Yaaaaarrr
That one is Dirge!
Yep that’s dirge
Nice (first I think)
Haha, sea lion
They gave legacy thundertron a near perfect mirror of the source, yet they couldn’t give bulkhead the same, bulkhead so far being the only prime bot that’s not a (p)repaint. Just goes to show that Prime engineering was top of the game in its time and thundertron here is no exception!
They basically gave us a G1 Bulkhead, which is nice. They might still give us a more Animated Bulkhead if the Animated Optimus does well.
@@nickvang7 honestly it would have been amazing if they borrowed some ideas from hoist/trailbreaker gut. But i would love an animated bulks
@@j-sant-animations8105Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if that Hoist mold wasn't used for an animated Ratchet.
@@ParadoxFree Nahhh that would suck, TFA Ratchet deserves a fully fledged new mold
Why is he called TIGERtron if he turns into a LOIN?
He isn't called tigertron
TF fans are so dumb lol
Noiceeeeeee :)

I already know the legacy is gonna be better
New doesn't always mean good bro
The old one is at least perfectly equal to the Legacy one

Gotta say this is a waste of a video release.
