My version of Legacy Needlenose is in storage (moving very soon), but there is definitely a knack to tabbing it together in jet mode. Someone at Hasbro really loved this toy, because this is a great homage. The head sculpt is amazing! Probably getting Quake now too! 😉
I've never owned either version, I like the altmode as it's a modified version of the F-16 Falcon, but I've always thought the name was a bit rubbish. I just looked on the TFWiki, you're right, they've recoloured and retooled it to be Windsweeper, which is a shame as that had a completely different aircraft altmode. This one isn't too bad, the headsculpt is really good. A shame about the targetmasters being almost exactly the same as the original, and not adding extra articulation, Hasbro/Takara being lazy/cutting costs yet again lol. I think I prefer where the nosecone/cockpit section went on the G1 version to this, but like you said, the attention to detail/sculpting on the Legacy version does look good. Great review!
@@Superfan-UK yeh, the name is a little weird. All in all, it is a decent figure. It's just odd to me that they spent so much time duplicating the smallest sculpting detail and end up with a figure that doesn't do anything new except the eye colour and the articulation.
You need to check out -Prime vs Prime’s video on Legacy Needlenose to see how it all snaps together tightly in vehicle mode.
@@tug-mug Thank you for the recommendation!

@@bumblejumper82 well, if there is a knack to tabbing this bastard together, it is evident that is has escaped me.
I'm left feeling like I don't know what to feel, which is exactly why I count on you. So thanks, I think!
@@balucious It is an odd one isn't it?
@@WolfKang1 It's like 'Missing Link' Needlenose but with a big dildo up it's arse.

@@WolfKang1 Other than the nosecone/cockpit dangling between his legs like a giant...
@Superfan-UK well yeh. It would have been nice to see them do something with the swinging low cockpit cock. Lol
