Gotta love the irony that out of the two of these, STARSCREAM'S the one with a waist joint. I love this Starscream solely for the fact that it does a lot of things I've wanted a seeker mould to do for so long and knew it would work. The way the nose cone folds into itself and allows for a waist swivel! About fucking time we get a good Starscream with a proper waist swivel that DOESN'T break the sculpt!
One thing I love when I began to fiddle around with the Starscream figure is the wing articulation. You can have it at different angles to have Starscream emote like how he did in Transformers Prime. A very expressive model
@@matoro4140 if thats true if they are lucky they might need to remake a few things but if they are not.... thats a lot of work so it could be quite a while
These look really good, well engineered, and articulated. Definitely one of the more interesting/unique alt modes Bumblebee has gotten in recent years. Already have the Optimus Prime and Soundwave preordered for next year and may get these two at a later point. The real question is which game will hit first. Reactivate or GTA 6 given how may delays each has had.
I have a feel this mold may look actually better in the armada colors. Not that the g1 doesnt, It does look good, but I feel that palette may work better
I found the Optimus/Soundwave 2-pack at gamestop a few days ago. Optimus feels like a smaller leader class figure and Soundwave feels like a mcdonalds toy lmao
These designs feel so fresh. They're recognizable, but still unique. I'm glad they didn't just go with the Evergreen look for them. I'm beyond sick of that design aesthetic.
Wow, Starscream's chest cockpit actually forms the cockpit for the jet mode! That's something that's weirded me out for a lot of Transformers toys that try to evoke their original look, but have purely decorative duplicate distinctive parts in robot mode that only mimic parts on their vehicle mode. I'm not too much into the Transformers fandom, but I have a distinct feeling there's a name for that sort of thing. Like how every Optimus Prime toy has a robot mode chest that's a windshield and grill but it's usually not the same windshield and grill that's in truck mode.
Oh wow my studio series release of the mold came with the gif pushed passed the top and I though that was normal… till I saw how other your transformation was!!! Thank you so much man!!
Yeah looks like a función of those two wich delivers a modern looking g1 starscream and a less strangely proportioned armada starscream. Honestly they should repaint this into the armada color scheme eventually
Screamer here is almost perfect. Kinda wishing it did more with arms, because they are just out there under the wings, but this is honestly my favorite screamer since they remade the classics one for earthrise.
At most they could have Made them splay out flat to stock under the wings or concave to cover up the undercarriage. But maybe That would've compromised their stability
@@leonake4194 it would also affect the price for a pretty unreasonable feature. They could also make the chest area slide out a bit to fit the arms, but that would make the chest unstable. Overall, the arms don't really look that bad down there to really complain. It's fine.
Glad to see two really good video game Starscreams released within months of eachother. I got the Gamer Edition WFC Starscream and he’s great, and this looks just as good. Bumblebee looks good too, sucks about the waist swivel but it’s easy for me to look past when all the other figures from Reactivate seem to have everything I want. Hopefully these ship sooner than later.
I've been looking forward to this. I was a little worried how the back would look on Starscream, but it looks like they did a good job. Also love how they handled the cockpit on this one. If it wasn't so close to Christmas I would definitely be getting this now.
Sucks we have to wait for next year for news and a new trailer for the game. But I hope they make the other autobots and decepticons characters in the video game into figures.
Just to clarify, in production this sort of differently molded pieces do not make something more expensive at all, especially because they already use unique separate molds for both left and right side. Sculpt is just that, sculpt. It doesn’t not add to the cost.
Wait, yes it absolutely does. The parts are all molded into one large sprue tree (like a gundam, or car model kit), and injection molded together. Usually in the same color, except for doal molded colors, but that"s another topic. If any part in that tree is changed, they have to re-machine the metal mold that the plastic is shot into. I imagine that they design the potential remolded parts into smaller trees that can be easily remade. AFAIK, this process in no cheeper than the first time, so it cuts into the figure's profits. It costs thousands to machine a mold like that. *Edit - After watching the full video, I have more context to your comment. You are correct, asymmetry doesn't really effect price (there is more design time, but only a few days of work, not enough to blow the budget). It would only have an effect once we get into remolds, but I think they just eat the cost at that point.
Does anyone know if the first step in Bumblebee's transformation is a deep Dafuq?!Boom! (the guy who makes Skibidi Toilets) lore reference? Not commonly known, but our favorite HL2 grandmaster of meme cinema is a TF fan and one of his earliest videos is a TF machinima to the 80's song Take on Me. The pose of the dancing cybertronians is _very_ like BB's 1st step.
Starscream’s transformation looks very simple and intuitive but also clever. I really like it, kinda reminds me of the T30 Legends, but suitably more complex for the size
I've been thinking about what they said about why starscream is designed like his with the new black parts. And I think I've got it. The transformers in this game are rebuilt/repaired from other bots, yeah? So what if the black parts are from skywarp
With that one 3rd party Cybertronian Bumblebee, this makes two Bumblebees released this year without a waist swivel. They're still good toys tho, I want them.
hey man, this is a preetty big if, BUT. do you think you kinda look like the guy in the trailer when hes fixing bee but then it cuts to earth being invaded? y'know, the guy with the goggles? no offence, but you kinda look like that guy. i think youve been featured in the game.
man, I was gonna skip these cause I didnt want to start a new collection continuity cause that means im gonna have to buy every mold they release in the future but you are making me rethink that cause those tranaformations are quite different from anything we have seen in the past 5-7 years...damn it
Honestly I thought that the bumblebee was going to be your average “Datsun/movie bee” type transformation, but then I realized the shoulder pads were the front of the car as well, and then my interest was piqued
So on amazon Canada only the optimus/soundwave is up for preorder and not BB/starscream which is odd cause every other retail has both packs. Figure wise they look so good soundwave looks a bit skinny but it’s all good looking, honestly it’s what I’d expect from a live action film design wise they have a good blend of real life and G1. I like the BB Optimus figure but the reactivate looks so nice
Cool, a new Starscream... and he's gone. Gotta love being in a country that has a history of being the Very Last Place on Earth for anything to be released or shipped to.
This is exciting, it reminds a lot of what we were seeing from like 2010-2014 of transformers for some reason. More creativity instead of rehashing g1 I guess.
Anyone coming back to this now that the game has been cancelled
Me
Yup
Yeah. It's a damn shame
Starscream kinda feels like a mix of G1 and Armada, and I'm here for it.

I’m hoping they make Skywarp and Thundercracker. The mold would look beautiful in the black and purple paint scheme
I wish they could remold this into a ss86 mold but because of coronation screamer, it probably aint happening
Now thats a transformer video ga,e ixwould buy
One thing I love when I began to fiddle around with the Starscream figure is the wing articulation. You can have it at different angles to have Starscream emote like how he did in Transformers Prime. A very expressive model
Screamers alt mode looks like G1 and Armada had a baby and raised it on TFPrime and i love it.
This dropping the day the game gets delayed is hilarious irony.
Lol
Wait it’s been delayed? Thats hilarious.
Delayed till when?
@@Susi092 dunno. they're swapping their engine

Love the way Starscream's jet mode looks. A mix of his G1 and Armada appearance, both of which are my favorite Starscream jet modes

@@leonake4194 Heard that there may be some forms of customization, maybe Armada will possibly be a skin
I love the asymmetrical design for good ol' Screamer.
@@IamWone hail Satan
Size of the figures are surprising considering how Hasbro stretched/edited their size with Soundwave.
Excited for the games and the figures regardless
I found the Optimus/Soundwave 2-pack at gamestop a few days ago. Optimus feels like a smaller leader class figure and Soundwave feels like a mcdonalds toy lmao
For the first time in a while ive seen transformers figures reviewed legally before PvP or Chefatron steal them lollllll
These designs feel so fresh. They're recognizable, but still unique. I'm glad they didn't just go with the Evergreen look for them. I'm beyond sick of that design aesthetic.
A Cliffjumper and Slipstream retool pack of these two would be peak

They're called faux parts
@@rz0rrju273 Thanks for the information! Simple term that makes sense.
But didn't the _Classics_ and _Earthrise_ Seeker molds have the cockpit form their chests as well?
I was more excited for Starscream due to hjs cook update to his design, and Bumblebee had grown on me the more I saw him.
Oh wow my studio series release of the mold came with the gif pushed passed the top and I though that was normal… till I saw how other your transformation was!!! Thank you so much man!!
Please, don't let this game be cancelled...
Edit: Dangit.
“Bend the knee, Starscream!”
“NEVER, MEGATRON!”
Starscream looks like his Armada version, I like it
I think reactivate starscream is gonna end up my stand in for Earthspark Srarscream.
Both these guys look great
huge armada vibes from this starscream design, i love it
Yeah looks like a función of those two wich delivers a modern looking g1 starscream and a less strangely proportioned armada starscream. Honestly they should repaint this into the armada color scheme eventually
This games’ designs are so strong. This might be my favorite star scream design ever.
Screamer here is almost perfect. Kinda wishing it did more with arms, because they are just out there under the wings, but this is honestly my favorite screamer since they remade the classics one for earthrise.

That starscream mold is replacing all my other starscreams, seekers, clones for robot CHUG universe scale.

Bumblebee looks good too, sucks about the waist swivel but it’s easy for me to look past when all the other figures from Reactivate seem to have everything I want.

This feels exactly like something that wouldve come out in like the golden age of tf(2009-2013) and Im loving it
I've been looking forward to this. I was a little worried how the back would look on Starscream, but it looks like they did a good job. Also love how they handled the cockpit on this one.
If it wasn't so close to Christmas I would definitely be getting this now.
stop motion shorts with these morphs will be awesome
The knees on bumblebee are like dark of the moon bee. Deluxe bee
Sad that game is over now and these figs are the only thing we got of the game
I got to say, this might be the best Bumblebee has ever looked
Now these, THESE are the proper Earth modes I've been trying to find for my Cybertronian modes.
Damn, starscreams transformation honesltly looks fantastic
Hopefully it ends up being used again for a 86 2.0, or a earthspark starscream...
or perhaps animated starscream
“New game’s coming out!”
That aged like fine wine…
Starscream and Bumbelfield look awesome
I totally agree with you about this new bumblebee's fantastic designs and details! A very great figure!!!
Wow the Transformation on both are amazing 😮
Sucks we have to wait for next year for news and a new trailer for the game. But I hope they make the other autobots and decepticons characters in the video game into figures.
For anyone who wants to know the name of the intro song
It's called (anxiety)
I love how bee's heels end up looking like lil drillers in altmode
They should retool that Starscream into an accurate ss86 one
I cant be the only one who saw starscream's battle damage and thought it was a reference to the tatoos he had in roft
Primevsprime is crying right now
4:00 emgo reference
16:38 Whose on the right of Bee? Not Sideswipe but this tan truck?

Excellent video. These guys are looking good
Just seeing this Bumblebee with his head raised all the way up when standing truly shows how big his chin piece is

Love how Starscream looks, surprised how tall both the figures are.
Gonna be honest I don’t really care for the bee but it is so tempting to order the pack simply for the Starscream cuz he looks so good
This is a true Bumblefeel moment
Starscream’s transformation looks very simple and intuitive but also clever. I really like it, kinda reminds me of the T30 Legends, but suitably more complex for the size
I will be honest, they peaked Starscream with that mould
I've been thinking about what they said about why starscream is designed like his with the new black parts. And I think I've got it.

4:09 where is that gun from?
I wonder if a retool of bee would work as either a movie verse style beachcomber or evac
Im super into this new Starscream
Starscream gives me Energon vibes with the asymmetry
These are like straight out of Generations 2010.
With that one 3rd party Cybertronian Bumblebee, this makes two Bumblebees released this year without a waist swivel. They're still good toys tho, I want them.
Starscream is badass.
I’m holding off in hopes of that Starscream being rereleased as Animated Starscream. Looks just like him for the most part.
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M It might. We’ve already got Prowl. And Optimus is coming next year.
genuinely this starscream looks so cool. Might have to pick up this two pack just for him
That starscream figure looks amazing
That bee looks more like animated meets ROTB
hey man, this is a preetty big if, BUT. do you think you kinda look like the guy in the trailer when hes fixing bee but then it cuts to earth being invaded? y'know, the guy with the goggles? no offence, but you kinda look like that guy. i think youve been featured in the game.
the scrape I heard when you slid Starscream hurt me
This is what gamer edition should've been holy shit
I can't wait to get mine
Were did u get that stand u used for star scream?
Not sure we can expect many more of these, the game appears to be stuck in the deepest pit of development hell lmao
Only disappointed we won't get hot rod. They came out swinging with the top four.
Legacy Animated StarScream Pre-Tool? Think it might me a nice second use for the mold if enough new tooling and paint went into it
Damn, what a bunch. I wouldn't be surprised if this Starscream gets retooled for a G1/Evergreen figure.
Do you know what happens to studio series hatchet ?
He is slated for next year
Blue eye starscream? I recall some refer to him as a honourable autobot😂
The game died today. 😢
I underestimated them before,but now,i think that them are very cool
man, I was gonna skip these cause I didnt want to start a new collection continuity cause that means im gonna have to buy every mold they release in the future but you are making me rethink that cause those tranaformations are quite different from anything we have seen in the past 5-7 years...damn it
Or you can just buy the figures you like the most and not have a need to be a completionist for the continuity the figures came from.
i love the bumblebee vehicle mode
Exactly a year after the first teaser, we get the first toys, let’s hope the whole development process isn’t this slow.
Starscream looks killer!
I like both of these. Bumblebee mold looks great I never wanted any of the Camaro Bee's but i like this mold probably be a cool hotshot remold
"peg it into the back"
A Starscream with waist rotation and a Bumblebee with no waist? what dark timeline is this
I would love all 3 seekers in this mold with g1 cartoon paint jobs and no battle damage
Honestly I thought that the bumblebee was going to be your average “Datsun/movie bee” type transformation, but then I realized the shoulder pads were the front of the car as well, and then my interest was piqued
Starscream's cockpit transformation reminds me of G1, super glad it isn't a faux part
God I can’t wait for this game
I’m legit excited for this game, mainly because I love post apocalyptic style transformers. Think scourge and DOTM megatron. That kind of thing.
I love starscream, hes like a mix of g1 , armada, and rid 2015
0.18 trusty'ol ducttape
6:31 so that counts then lol
These look gorgeous
these bots are gorgeous, can't wait to get mine
So on amazon Canada only the optimus/soundwave is up for preorder and not BB/starscream which is odd cause every other retail has both packs.
