Another awesome episode guys. Thank you. Defo with Bobby on the Metalhawk figure, he looks dope
It looks really sleek and not the typical FH
Hahahahah Thanks for the shout out guys!!! Bobby you had me tearing up I was laughing so hard. 😂
You're welcome. I'm glad you sent the picture so I can remember the days of my youth. Emmmm emmm!!!
@botvscon I'm dead 💀
I cannot wait for a proper G1 style, MP Predaking. Lol
That would be great
Great show as always, thank you. I preordered the cang toys blacanidae. Only 35 plus shipping not too bad for a 7" robot. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks. That's a good price. I almost bought 2
James out here quoting prices we haven't seen since 1996! LOL!!! 15-20 bucks won't buy you a freaking add-on these days. Thanks for the laugh! GREAT SHOW!
Thank you for the kind words! In 1996, the modern BW deluxe was $9.99. You are thinking about 2012-2016 prices. Heck, they were $19.99 in during Siege. In my opinion, the figures have gotten smaller and the plastic is worse, with deluxe engineering not much more complicated than they were in 2012. They should be much cheaper price in my opinion.

the newage lockdown is based on SG lockdown from what i can see, as he has the brown and is using the trailbreaker body
You are correct! I saw the picture previously but didn't know it was SG Lockdown! I guess he's based off a sheriff's truck.
~The Con
Love these it's because of you both that I've fallen in love with cang toys , my first figure from them the limited edition purple thorilla two pack is on the way and I've got more ordered
Glad you're enjoying it and that we can help introduce you to some new things. They are great. Big hefty beasts
Bobby, I feel your pain...I have two damaged figs I'm dealing with.
Yep I have some emails out
Cang Toys are killing it so far , I still need to get Sledge
The Sludge hasn't come out yet but they have been great so far.
36:58 if we had a shot game for every time we heard “it’s fine” by either of you…😂
I'd rather take a nickel so we could retire
The more I see them the more I’m in on the Cang Dinobots…. the bigger ones. They’re like Gundam Dinosaurs!! 🦕 🦖
They are looking really good
33:56 ha$bro shenanigans
It's really crazy how far things have changed.
~The Con
@@botvscon it’s honestly sad, but not surprising given any major company these days, esp publicly traded: profit superior; quality inferior.

The New age lockdown is based on the shattered glass version of him that would be on the back of the collectors Club comic magazines. There was a little mini comic of super deformed shattered glass characters and this is based off of that.
Newage has really came strong out of the gate for 2025 so far. I never thought I'd see myself buying all these variations of Trailbreaker but all are different and can be unique bots in my collection. I am not sure what the gripe with panel lines is on the alt mode is. It's a pretty detailef legends figure. I expect it to have panel lines. As long as there are no gaps in between the panels then I am cool with it at that size.
Yes! That's it. I thought the SD Lockdown was from the Q line, but it was from that comic. I didn't know it was SG. Thanks for the info!
~The Con
I agree, They are getting better and better.

We probably have no where near as many Legends figures as you do. I haven't seen as many panel lines in any of the ones I have so it seemed unfamiliar to see all the lines. They do look good though
I've checked the G1 cartoon and all the toy pictures from Google search and Rampage and Divebomb are actually in the right position . I think you guys must have misremembered or maybe they are reversed in a different series after G1 which I don't know anything about. BTW, I checked a few videos on UA-cam on G1 Predaking toys, and the majority of the people mis-transformed him so maybe you guys are accustomed to seeing them like that.
This is from TFWiki:
Razorclaw (torso)
Divebomb (right arm, wings)
Rampage (left arm)
Headstrong (right leg)
Tantrum (left leg)
They show the toy with the arms the opposite sides. You are correct about toon
Great show! I’m still on the fence with BT‘s Bayverse Prime and Jetfire. I hope we see final pics soon…
Thank you. Hope it works out for you
Have order all three sets of Dr Wu impact wave, the black set is going to look well with my wfc black soundwave especially i got addon kits that allows to transform him into a tapedeck
Completely agree. The black set is made for Soundblaster. I think it would look nice with other black repaints too.
~The Con
Ordered my Cang Swoop on saturday and actually got a shipping notification Monday that it went out - I was surprised since I ordered it right at the beginning of the Chinese holiday
That's really good. I'm looking forward to getting it.
i think its cang toys sea cons because its giving turtle vibes
That would make us both happy over here
XTB is notorious for putting out the version everybody wants after the gig them on a weaker version.
They usually call it a toon release or limited edition. We haven't seen a variant name or description and that would be truly disappointing if it is simply a reissue
Newage repaint I heard are two packs as well. I'm in on my newages lol...I'll get all 4 as I loved the 4 in their bot modes.
Sounds good
Where can we get the cab 3d print so I can separate my Margh?? I want to have my white bot on display 😢
So far they have been work in progress but we will give more details when we get them
I’m with Bobby on this, I more like look at my figures instead of playing due to… Arthritis! 😂🤣
At this point, I have so many figures, it would take a year to transform them all probably.
@ it’s a gift and a curse ~ Adrian Monk!
How did you guys ever EVER think that mandalorian figure looked good at all?
The first release pictures looked good. We were excited about it. Didn't look like this in hand picture at all
@botvscon maybe we saw different pictures. 🙂
Again, my hearing, where can I get the mp stickers for sunstreaker? I can't find where to order them 😢
Did you get the link
I don't know if I am going to explain this correctly but instead of six different legends Primes and so on, I would like for a company to release the MicroMaster characters in the Legends size. That way, they would be more in line with MP figures.
I don't want a Legends sized Prime but I would buy a MicroMaster Overload at the same height as NewAge's David.
Same with a character like Holi. A Holi the same height as NewAge's Harry would be neat to put along side MP Starsaber.
It's always that way. We want a company to give us something but we end up getting 50 million of the same figure we really don't want
I waited on Ron and Ratliffe. But I'm in on the reissue. I like them more. Also, wish xtransbots would do the mini bots like huffer and Gears.
They did a Huffer with several repaints a long time ago. Wasn't great but it is a thing.
Still getting devastator because the alternative 3rd party versions are too expensive! This even though Hasbro is higher priced as well!
Affordability makes availability everything.
They should have made the CangToys Dinos legends size like their Predacons. DinoKing will tower over Predating.
They will probably release them in Legends scale as well. They did it with their Predaking and they mentioned releasing their MP figures in Chug and legends I believe.
Really surprised Cang Toys is doing multiple scales at the same time and I think they may get me on the MP and Legends versions........my wallet has surrendered in defeat....
The repaints are a bit better but not liking the NA Trailbreaker. The hood so far in front of the windshield in bot mode looks like a flat chested girl wearing a D cup bra.......
On the Hasblow Devastator...........🤦♂️
The muted colors on the Mando crossover is almost has bad as those should pads.
I'm keeping my preorder but I do admit the transformation video turned me off quite a bit on the MMC Drift. I'm thinking that video was shot with a preproduction sample, or at least I hope so.
Really not understanding the XTB Ironhide. I thought they changed the head sculpt before the first release. Definitely wouldn't buy another just for a face plate.
I will admit James is better disciplined than me, seeing that 01 Studio Longhaul has my purchasing trigger finger itching big time.
Great stuff guys.
Cang Toys is doing some interesting stuff... We will see how it all turns out.
Yup, I completely agree that Trailbreaker needs a smaller cup size.
The Mando Crossover is such a disappointment.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with MMC Drift. I'm gonna keep my preorder too... I just may not get the one with the red.
XTB should just sell the face separately.
On the 01 Studio Longhaul.... I just see another MP G1 Predaking in the future and I'm telling myself I'm waiting for that!

31:20 CW version > toddler toys
Agreed!
Here's my take on the 86 Devastator. What we wanted was something better than the combiner wars. Instead they gave us these sawed off midget Constructicons. Just Hell No! Talk about letting us all down. Especially after Menasor being and improvement. I guess being the same scale as the newer Menasor is alright, but I'd only be in on this if the Combiner wars didn't exist.
I have varying opinions. The Legacy Menasor was better than the Combiner Wars option but that was very easy to do. I think that the CWs Devy is better than this new version overall. I also feel that they took a huge step back with their combiners since I wanted more in line with the CW Devy and Predaking but Hasbro is giving us something in between. Not what I wanted either
Can't wait to get Stray in hand. Bobby, what are you driving? I had to wait for the Inital D sequel series MF Ghost to see my car, haha!
That Metalhawk looks great, I wonder if they'll do a metallic gold paint for the body.
I have an S2000 as a fun car.
The Metalhawk looks really sleek compared to their normal bots I think
@botvscon Nice, I was kinda guessing that when you mentioned Alternators Windcharger the other day, haha!
Yes I love my baby
I’m gonna have my 86 Devastator in combined mode gap fillers be damned…. I’m not super crazy about the character so this will do. For now …..
You will have to let us know your thoughts as you start getting them
@ Absolutely. I don’t have CW or and 3rd party so w price being considered I gotta go w the official 86 🤷🏻♂️
33:19 bad comedy
Yeah, price points seem to be a tricky thing these days!
~The Con
Combiner wars devestator in combine mode is great. individual bots are not good at all but who cares
I guess great is in the eye of the beholder which is great.
Never was a Star Wars fan, so if they keep collabing w them, my wallet is safe.
That's a good thing for you then. I grew up loving Star Wars
@ I got why people like it, it just never grabbed me like that.
Sorry, boys my hearing sucks. Where can I get the files for my mmc Defensor??? Man, I listened to music to loud in the 90's
STL files: tinyurl.com/28kryx5v
I’ve never bought an add-on kit for any figures but when I get this 86 devastator, I’m gonna need some gap fillers for those arms!! 🫣SHEESH!!
@@scythe4277 that’s why 3rd party offerings are tough to beat. You see Mecha Invasion right? $90 for each set of two; best bang for buck given quality and price. Unless you’re concerned about scaling w/ certain figures, etc.
@ Depends on which third-party set you get. Some are four times the price of Hasbro and others are not that bad. The third-party I prefer is way more expensive and I’m not spending $1000 damn near on a devastator. 🤷🏻♂️
@@scythe4277 oh, no doubt - some are quite crazy expensive. Which company is the one you prefer? The new one shown in this video by 01-Studio I like a lot, but at $150/figure, not spending close or at $1K for a Devy either.
Add on kits can get pricy. DNA has been my favorite most of the time. There will probably be a lot of other options available as well probably at the $15-$20 price point on ebay.
@ good lookin out i’ll keep that in mind
That movie Prime is not my 55 gal drum of energon
Haha
“Grimrock” is how it’s pronounced in Japanese 😜
Ugh, technicalities! 🤣
~The Con
Newage is off their rocker with charging these ridiculous prices for clear plastic limited edition pieces. It looks interesting but I wouldn’t pay a dime over a standard fair market price. Newage actually discourages me not to buy more of their figures exactly because of this because I find it insulting to charge people these prices. Sorry not sorry 💁♂️
I don't think either of us can argue with you on that
They are limited and will sell out despite the price. There is a small segment of collectors that want extremely limited toys at high prices to make their collection a rich person's bragging point. I've seen things like this in all sorts of collectibles.
@@Deceptisaur Yes I’m quite sure they will totally sell out and some collectors will have some bragging rights as you say. As for me it’s a turn off and as far as I’m concerned that discourages me from purchasing from Newage. That’s me though and the way I personally do things. Thank you for responding though 👍💯
Congrats on binge watching initial D - it’s pretty damn good eh?
It is. I'm waiting for season 5 to get dubbed so I can finish it off.
I would find Janet Jackson as attractive as Bobby does if i could look at her face without seeing Michael 😂
Awwww damn!
Newage red and blue transparent figures i love, but wayyyyyyyyyy over priced for the gimmicks. I'm out on those😊
Too expensive to me as well
