@@PerspectiveEnd good one
Also the Minecraft kid is already trapped inside a cage at the museum like u asked right
Ahhh Finaly a worthy opponent
Too bad
I swear I can hear that "Offer expires while you wait. Operators are standing by..." quote coming out of that head, this looks really good.
Ju ron ron ron roniiiii MOOOOOOO!!!!
The ss86 deluxe figures and "voyager" hotrod look amazing riding on his altmode.
Yeah this line is absolutely slaying it.
@@PerspectiveEnd I just wish Hot Rod was the right color. Still annoys me.
@@USSMariner What color is he supposed to be, I thought he was Red in the movie
@@omegastrike8812 magenta. He's definitely not red.
@@USSMariner apparently there are rumors of a “variant hot rod” coming in the future, which could mean magenta hot rod
This is really cool, I have the animated figure, which is a massive shell-former, but still fun, I'm looking forward to picking this up
Can I just say who ever cast Weird Al as Wreck Gar was a flat Genius.
@@PerspectiveEnd yup, weird Al is always with wrekgar in some way, like how in the 86 movie during the junkion chase scene they had "dare to be stupid" playing in the background.
@@PerspectiveEnd Animated had great casting, can't argue that
I always loved that casting, it was a clever reference to the '86 movie
Never get tired when you sing praises about a figure, just a cool change of pace. I've had mine for almost a month now, and he towers over almost everyone I have (aside from Galvaton, Grimlock, Slag and Jetfire). I just love trying to get various characters to ride his bike mode, just kinda cool to look at.
Glad you are enjoying it by the way.
The more I think about it the more I think I want to make an 86' movie collection display. I'll definitely have to find this guy someday. Slim pickings here.
Yeah finishing up getting at least 1 figure to represent each character in the movie is kind of a Grail of mine that I've had for a long time.
Everytime I get a new one I realize that there's another one I don't have so I constantly think I'm on the verge of being done.
@@PerspectiveEnd when you finish please share with the rest of us. At least throw a picture up on Twitter
It may take a while.
For those who like this character, im really glad yall got a great rendition of this character.
I take it you aren't a fan of him. I still think you might like this figure, but that's fine if you don't want it.
Glenn-Clonus was hilarious af. Every time Perspective jokes about the 86 head sculpts it’s perfect
Thank you very much!
I feel like it's been a while since I saw you comment?
I love that the designers made it so other figures can ride the motorcycle mode. Out of all the figures I’ve tried, Blackarachnia and Waspinator look the best.
I need to find a Waspinator.
Well, I'm now thoroughly convinced that my friend, Drlockdown was crazy when he said, "this is no better than the rest of SS86," and I'm getting one to replace reveal the shield wreck gar immediately after my birthday(which is this monday). So, thanks for giving me something to want to buy with my amazon gift card!
I mean to be Fair Studio Series 86 has been a KILLER line so it could be that he was just saying the rest of the figures are awesome.
@@PerspectiveEnd nah, doc says everything except the SS86 dinobots is bad, so he’s not complimenting it.
This guy is absolutely incredible. I had a preorder come in in the middle of summer, so I've had him for a little bit. I find getting the front of the motorcycle out to be a bit dificult, since it seems to get stuck, but other than that he's a 10/10 from me
Idk if I'd say he's the best figure for me, though. I tend to judge figures based on how fun they are in hand and how much I want to keep coming back to them. As of now, I don't come back to him that often. That may change, but for now he's a little too perfect, if you know what I mean? The kind of perfect that makes him a little boring
Personally I find my self coming back to this one plenty. I don't think he's all that boring really. Not like Grapple.
@@PerspectiveEnd Perhaps boring isn't the right word. But it was kinda like ER Prime last year. He was, by all accounts, an amazing figure to a lot of people, and I certainly agreed. But, in spite of his quality, I found myself drawn to other figures I got that year. I still put him on my top 10 list, but really more out of obligation
This year, I've found myself more drawn to imperfect yet fun figures. Gnaw, Dinobot, and Core Soundwave are all figures that I've been unable to keep my hands off. Yet, I never really think to take Wreck Gar off the shelf. Maybe I'll come around on him, like I did with Runamuck and Runabout. But for now he stand proud on the shelf. Perfect but uninteresting
"Operators..are standing by" Idk why but that line sounded intimidating when I first heard it.
Probably because of his facial expression, and the fact that he said it as sinisterly as possible.
This is a figure i love. Mostly because of how phenomenal it is, and because of the motorcycle mode. I could probably gush about the random little details on the alt mode, plus its one of the rare motorcycle figures that pulls off both modes stunningly
To be fair it does partsform to do it, but yeah this is an Impressive figure, definitely one of the Best Motor Cycle Figures of all time.
I like the head and I think it's smart how the head turns into the control panels for the motorcycle.
That was a really clever move on their part.
@@PerspectiveEnd Ikr
Surely they'll repaint this as a junkion. The tab on the seat suggests it could be ridden by a figure of the same mould
I mean I think they would be foolish to not do that, but currently I just have the Sharkticon riding him.
You know that figure is phenomenal, when Perspective End says it's good
Yeah, I do not give out my recommendation's freely.
This was the kind of figure I didn't know I wanted or needed until I saw those first images. It did not disappoint. The Studio 86 line has continued to impress me me and I can't wait for what's coming next.
86 Is definitely proving to be one of the best lines in a while, Right up there with Siege. They are producing an almost universally fantastic product... Though the Kup might leave wanting and the Blurr could have been better.
The best part of wreckgar and all the various molds from different lines is they all work well together on a shelf as the Junkion horde.
This is true, you can use other Wreckgars and random Junkos.
I love how the alt mode has a clip on the seat that tabs into robot forms backside
Yeah this whole thing is really cleaver.
That posing segment for Wreck-Gar sold me.
Yeah it stunned me just how well this thing poses.
I found this one two weeks ago. I'm still hiding my toys at the moment so I haven’t cracked the box open yet, but I was so happy. Target dropped the ball on my pre-order (canceling it after all the times I told them back-ordering was fine) and I was planning on driving over to a couple cities out west of me to look, but I stopped in at my home Wal-Mart and they had one and a Sweep. I picked up both and they were at least 5 off each. I saw one more that day at a different Wal-Mart and one of his nip cannons had fallen off into the bubble that protects them. I have never seen any other since. Just today I found a Gnaw at a Target out east for the first time. I seem to be getting to all the stores after they sell out the hot items, but that Target has been lucky for me. I found a BW Megatron there when that was hot and got it for a nice sale with some Target Circle coupons, and just two weeks ago I found Waspinator and Shadow Panther there. I saw Slug and Daniel at a couple Wal-Marts I checked today, but my Target pre-order is actually coming through for me so I'm fine waiting. Unfortunately my Tigatron pre-order on Amazon was canceled out of the blue because of a "lack of stock," so I'm going to have to hunt for him now.
Why are you hiding your toys?
Man I wish I had your luck, seriously I can never find anything.
@@PerspectiveEnd I don't have a place of my own and I would get royally chewed out if I was found out. I typically go to certain stores early in the morning. Wal-Mart seems to do restocks or trucks on the weekend. Target seems to be weird because they seem desperate for workers but are not actually hiring, and new stock gets backed up. I offered to go back to a store to pick up some SS Bayverse figures that I saw for someone on Reddit, but they declined.
This figure looks superb. Pretty much everything I would want in a Wreck-Gar and I would be perfectly happy if this was the last figure of him that we ever got. Haven't seen this guy anywhere yet either. I can't believe that Gnaw of all figures was the first figure from this wave I was actually able to find.
I feel like they could upgrade some of the joints, but for the most part I'm with you. This is now the Defacto Wreck Gar.
The soft rubber parts make perfect sense. You have to remember these are still children's toys. They're not just made for us 30 something collectors. There are safety concerns with the spikes. Rubber spikes are much safer than harder plastic.
There's also durability. Softer materials are actually more durable because they can bend. The small stuff like the handles would easily break if they're made from a hard plastic. Hard plastic for small parts just means it's more brittle. Imagine accidentally knocking on the smaller parts while playing. If it was hard plastic, it'll snap. Rubber just bends from the force. They may not feel as good to mess with, but they safer and more durable. So there's actually a lot more thought put into these.
I'm buying their Victory Saber and I hope to God the antenna guns on his head are made with rubber. I can imagine snapping them by accident if they're made from a hard plastic.
The Spikes are not Rubber, the Spikes are Hard plastic, the Handlebars and the beard are rubber and that's it.
So it can't be for that reason because the real dangerous stuff was made with the dangerous material.
I hope you enjoy your star saber.
Thanks for giving me something to watch on the bus
Glad to do it.
Man just watched the WHOLE movie with my dad right now and gotta say,prob my fav movie EVER.
I'm so glad to hear that. It's tons of fun, but as a kid, man did it make me Cry so much. Like I had no idea that I was about to watch all my favorite characters die.
@@PerspectiveEnd yea i mean i knew they were gonna die but still brang a tear to my eye,i mean optic yeah optic :)
Now that I have an 86 shelf, as soon as that next pay comes in, I'm picking him up from my cart.
Glad I talked you into this I expect you will love it. And Cart?
Nice to here the excitement and vibe from you this morning. (What, not a word about the Lazer nipples?) He is great thought. Thanks for being here, Doing this.
I thought about doing that, but I was worried it would make me predictable, but now I feel like it was a mistake.
And you are more than welcome.
This figure is fucking AMAZING, I had been iffy on the line after getting kup, but wreck-gar shot me back up to loving it, he does so much right, and is one of only a few figures I got a legitimate “wow” factor from
Yeah, I can see how Kup would bleed the Enthusiasm.
But this absolutely should Reinvigorate it.
I know other junkions will be released but I still got two of these. Thanks for the review!
They better release other versions of this mold or I will get mad.
Got this guy as an early Christmas gift! So stoked. Haven’t seen _any_ voyagers in stock for _months._ only crappy buzz worthy 2 packs.
Wish mine wasn’t chock full of paint problems (and didn’t have a way too tight right arm) but otherwise… it’s AMAZING.
Did you notice that they even included hidden sculpting details _inside_ the armpit? Because they did!
I kind of want this figure now, it looks really good and the fact that other figures can sit on the alt mode is really fun. I'll wait on it.
I tried to make everyone who saw this video want it, because they should want it.
@@PerspectiveEnd It probably helps that I saw the movie in theaters last month.
This is the micro masterpiece since SS 86 grimlock
This is probably the best figure they've put out since 86 Grimlock yeah.
The fanart!
It's in you're inbox!
Thank's for the Heads Up.
This guy shall be starring in my videos as a motorcycle
He makes a great one.
I am a HUGE Weird Al fan, and the first song of his, that i heard, was Dare To Be Stupid from this movie (which i looove to this day), and that is also why Wreck Gar is one of my most favourite TF characters
I think Wreck Gar and Junkions are a very interesting concept of Cybertronian society, they have fun speech based on TV (which is done similar but much better than radio speech of Bumblebee from Bayverse and Cyberverce)
I also liked him in TFA, in which case, he was actually dubbed by Al Yankovic himself
So yeah, great figure indeed, looks nice and really love thish character!
You know I never thought of it, but it might be the First Weird Al song I ever heard my self.
Who ever Cast him as Wreck Gar in the Animated serries was a genius.
I think the Junkieon Speech makes WAY more sense than Bumblebees, since they are just reference pop culture not exclusively quoting it, and it's all in one voice so it's not confusing to swap between woices.
Do you have the figure yet?
@@PerspectiveEnd nope, maybe one day will order, because it's gonna be a real hustle finding it in stores
Let's say, it's not really good with transformers figures where I live (it's like, a few Cyberverse and even some POTP here and there that they couldn't sell in time, and big isle of cheap Chinese offbrands and knockoffs), so it's kinda complicated with newer figures
Yeah dude, I can't find anything my self, all anyone has any more are ERcees and Cyberverse Figures.
his elbows and knees also bend the what would usually be the wrong way, which looks goofy as hell but somehow fits with the character. like giving him chicken legs and making it look like he got his arms on backwards just works
I planned on mentioning that but then I just forgot because I'm stupid. Like how did I not mention the Broken Junkieon Limbs!
Ive had him for about a month and its not hyperbole, the figure is spectacular, a must have for any collector.
Yes 100% agreed, people need to not sleep on this it's fantastic.
4:12 , 4:13 ,4:15 oh god 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 man you are gonna kill me with those resemblances to actors
I am very proud of Glenn Clonus.
I just picked this guy up yesterday ….AND I LOVE IT I love the possibility and that alt mode 🤩oh and hot rod riding on his alt mode !
He is Astonishingly good.
WreckGar: New and improved junkion model! Head on down and try with no obligation! It slices and dices! Makes julienne fries! This sleek sexy import comes at no added cost!
Destroy Unicron, Kill the Grand Poohbah, Eliminate even the Toughest stain!
Wow that thing looks like to be close in size of the retro re-release of Beast Wars Megatron I gotten yesterday
No. It's not quite that big, but it's big like Voyagers used to be, big like Cyclonus.
Wreck Gar Yankovic (Reference to Animated Wreck gar) is my favorite Autobot ever and just imagine a kid toy (Like the Cyberverse toys for example) with him Talking in TV like in the Movie and Season 3-4 of the original cartoon
It was soooooo Inspired to Cast Weird Al as Wreckgar.
The only exception of parts forming, aside from ultra Magnus (depending on the cannon) and PM Optimus (if you ignore Ginrai) since both of those are optional modes.
I will say there are more but the exemptions sure are rare.
Funky fact:
Ss86 hot rod and another wreck gar both work perfectly as figures who can ride that bike
As do the Sharkticons.
Wait what?
I just got mine today and I can tell this figura is amazing, at first I was mad that the wheels didn't turn in my table but then I started recording my review and it immediately started rolling lol
Honestly if anyone would canonically cheat their limb rotations by partly transforming, it would likely be Wreck-Gar.
That would be about right yeah.
Can’t wait for the potential repaints and retool junkions!
Yeah, I never thought I'd be saying this but those better be in the works.
I agree. I mean... I can't say anything else about this thing, he is accurate, the paint aps is fantastic, and the partsforming isn't bothersome. He is a trully amazing figure and *IS* a micro masterpiece. Anyway, great review.
Thank you very much, glad I could sum up your feelings so well.
Lol
I imagine that the soft plastic is probably some child protection thing
I mean the Spikes aren't soft plastic, and those are WAY more dangerous than the Handlebars.
Wreck Gar: that figure looks great
It is fantastic, probably his best figure ever.
If you wanna get something similar to this but larger, i suggest the KFC Junkions. depends if you wanna try an MP scale one.
After the first run, they improved the hands and their transformation is fairly easy barring the frustrating bit
where you have to thread the steering section through the body, it has to be done in a particular order and in a certain way.
The Other neat thing is there are actually different configurations for the bike modes, Chopper and superbike style. you can also mix and match torso parts, spiky bits, pauldrons, arms, etc...
I do have some interest in those, but for now I have other priorities in terms of collecting, and I'm quite happy with the 86 one.
@@PerspectiveEnd You should see whats coming. Theres currently 6 of them and theres another 6 more coming. you cannot be ready for some of the absolutely wacky ideas for weapons these guys have.
Also one of them is just Straight up, Cykill.
Ab crunch on a mainline figure is always a win
More figures need it.
Hopefully we can see a Slag/Slug video review soon. Would love to hear your thoughts about it. Really sold me on this figure. Sadly just dealing with some work stuff so Wreck-Gar and a lot of other figures are gonna have to wait.
Weirdly enough just today I started feeling that feel you are feeling.
And hopefully very soon that review will happen.
I'm so happy I finally found him I've had him for 2 day and I love it.
Nice! I knew you would the thing is a damn Micro Masterpiece.
Put the visor down on 86 Hot Rod and have him ride Wrek Gar in motorcycle mode. Pretty cool.
It does sound like it looks great.
Well, do note that they are very thin pieces. If the handlebars and spikes weren't made out of soft plastic, there'd probably be a lot of breakage reports for this guy about that
The Spikes aren't made out of soft Plastic, the Spikes are in fact hard plastic.
Someone might have mentioned this before but, the beard can be fixed easily. Use a blow dryer to heat it up a bit and push it into place. Works really well.
No one has mentioned that yet, I didn't think this was fixable. I was planning on just filling the gap with more material honestly.
4:13 I can now never unsee that. Actually I'm kinda curious about him playing kup in a show or something.
Man you should have seen that long ago they are just so unbelievably close.
Shoulders pull way- way-
*shcokwave flashbacks*
Shoulders go Ah!
I honestly forgot about this guy but man this is cool
Yeah, this thing should be on your mind next time you check the toy aisle.
I've got mine sitting in my BBTS Pile of Loot just staring at me...waiting to shipped. 20 days left to wait on Flame Toys' Rodimus model kit to release, but I can't WAIT to get this guy. Just hear nothing but great things about him. Fantastic review as always @PerspectiveEnd. 👍
Thank you very much, and yeah this thing is amazing, hope your Rodimus Model kit is great. I'm guessing it's the one based on the IDW Lost Light Rodimus?
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, that's the one! At first I didn't much care for that design but the comic was such a fun run that I fell in love with the look and the character. Have you read it yourself? Highly recommended if no.
@@HobbieswithJose I love the Alex Milne designs but Rodimus is one I had to get used to.
Wreck-Gar is on sale for 26 on Amazon right now, and I've been debating on getting him. I have the money, but I'm going out of town this weekend, so I wanna save. This video definitely came at the perfect time man, it pushed me to make a decision. Wreck-Gar will be here next week, and I can't wait to get him!
Congratulations, I hope it serves you well.
i actualy love the personality of wreck gar in animated the personality is fun and daring to be stupid and i kind of want another wreck gar that is a garbage truck and it doesn't have to be a animated version
No Shade on that version of him. Weird Al was a great choice and he was fun.
@@PerspectiveEnd I actually loved his Minal time in the show
I’m surprised that your waist swivel wasn’t loose beyond usefulness, but again, phenomenal review
It's a little loose, but not uselessly so, is that a problem with the figure.
It’s a problem with my figure, I can’t pick him up without the ab crunch untabbing and him doing his best impersonation of a helicopter with his waist joint XD
I got to say this is really a MASTERPIECE atleast the things that it does at the price of 30 dollars!!
Yeah I can't really see how a real Masterpiece would do any better.
I really dig Wreckgar, if I can find it, I'd love to get a second one and keep it in motorcycle mode for him to ride.
Finding just one will be hard enough.
This is mini masterpiece it looks so good like in the movie
It's absolutely a Micro Masterpiece.
Great video man! Wreckgars One of my favorite characters and I can’t wait to pick up this guy
Thank you, and I'm glad to bring you such good news.
The issue with the head is that there was clearly a mis-mold with the lower jaw where the goatee goes in. From the boxart, the angle shows that the slant they put into the chin of the lower jaw is meant to face the left so that it fits with the direction of how the goatee is placed. But on the figure, the slant faces the right, causing the goatee not to go in all the way while leaving a small hole upon the goatee.
It’s not that bad of an issue, but it is a reoccurring thing with SS where they forget a detail on a figure. SS Scavenger doesn’t have his driver’s cockpit windshield painted on him, and the first SS Dropkick is missing his Decepticon logo.
I don't know how accurate the boxes are, I mean if you look at the Sharkticon it's a very different face, and the Kup's, and Blurr's boxes as well.
I don't know if they forgot the Decpticon Logo on Dropkick I think they just didn't want to put it on because they were too proud of how real it looked.
@@PerspectiveEnd All I know is that for the Wreck-Gar box, it obviously shows that the goatee goes all the way into the cavity mold.
Idk why this is kinda strange but I have seen every single wave 1 86 figure except the voyagers no kidding the only time I’ve ever seen a 86 voyager was a few days ago with hotrod I’ve never seen a scourge. So I’m hoping I can find this figure he seems so good. Awesome video keep it up
Man that sucks sorry to hear that, did you end up picking up the Hotrod when you saw it?
@@PerspectiveEnd nah i should of idk why I didn’t but hopefully I see one again if I do I might pick it up
okay, seriously Algorythm. why am I not getting notified of these videos *sooner*?
I think something's happened to the Algorithm. This should have been a HOT video but it seriously underperformed, just like the Sharkticon.
1:50
Ik its been almost 2 years since this figure came out but to address that:
Hasbro has been skimping out on plastic on ALL their toys in 2019-2020
Nerf, Barbie and especially Marvel Legends have been terribly inflated in relation to quality and it just becomes a bid for which figure to drain the budget out of to improve other figures. Thats why Kingdom Cyclonus came out so well while Optimus Primal while servicable, is definitely more flawed. But post 2020, there has been a noticeable decrease of QC errors and flaws without naming specific figures and Nerf has also been reported to improve quality now. Inflation is catching up as well tho so ironically, most secondhand, used figures older than 2 or 3 years have been dropping in comparison to whats on the official market. Essentially 50 dollars in 2017, is NOT the same as 50 dollars in 2023. 50 Dollars back then was I could live on for 2 months in allowance. 50 Dollars now is my dinner budget and maybe a drink after. We are TECHNICALLY getting what we paid for but its just a symptom of capitalism unfortunately. Transformers are more expensive and smaller because EVERYTHINGS more expensive and smaller.
Interesting. I can't think of much more to say than that.
Love this review! I’ve watched it a few times and it was what convinced me to pick wreck gar up. Always like to hear you praising ones you like.
I do it more often than you think. I'd say probably 7 out of 10 of my videos are positive.
Though there are rarely this positive.
And I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this video so much.
When you get it tell me how you'll like the figure.
The only wrekgar ive ever owned was the reveal the shield version. This will be an amazing upgrade.
Fully Agree.
I got him yesterday, I can't put him down. Wreck-Gar may be 2nd in the SS86 list. Behind Grimlock, of course.
I think you and me are on the same page.
This was the only one I was looking for the most out of this wave aside from Slug, simple transformation and it’s a cool feature that most deluxe class transformers can ride his motorcycle mode like 86 Hot Rod
I mean to be Fair this wave is only like 3 figures, so you were on the look out for 66% of the wave.
Wow, I thought the right arm spike being bent on mine was just a me thing, I didn't think it would be a widespread issue
I've seen other reviews and it seems to be.
Kinda depressed since I saw this in a store and passed it up.
Well, here's to hoping it's there :)
Sorry I didn't get this review to you sooner.
Just ordered this guy … paying $35 f**k scalpers…. You are my first go to review after the order
My favorite thing to do with the altmode is putting deluxes on it. They fit so well.
The sharkticon looks Hillarious riding him.
Sword wielding wrists an a character who actually has a melee weapon? That’s a pleasant surprise. Looks like he’d face circles around Cyclonus.
I'll say that he and Cyclonus are on pretty even footing,
And yeah it's a rare nice Treat.
I’m glad we got this figures!
I'm thrilled my self.
I picked Wreckgar today and he is amazing in bot mode. Possible like a double jointed spider monkey.
I'm glad you are loving it, I always worry that I'm leading people astray with videos like this.
@@PerspectiveEnd I like you reviews because when there is a dud you let us know.
@@Jayz457 If I say something's good you can trust that I'm not just being nice about it.
The literal junk guy getting an amazing figure is cosmic irony
Kind of yeah. It's also Ironic that he didn't get the Face of Eric Idle considering everyone else looks like an actor in this damn line.
The junkions are the only transformers that paint chipping makes sense so I don't mind all the paint on this figure.
Hah. That would be funny.
Another great video. Never cared about Wreckgar, never minded the Junkions, but this version looks very sweet.
I was never the biggest Wreck Gar fan my self but this turned out great.
0:29 maybe thats what the Junkion 1 in the legacy listings.
Ohhh man I hope you are right.
Shelves are bare except studio series Sideswipe and Bee in my stores. Dying to find this.
Same here. Except all I can find are ERcees.
For decades, I considered wreck gar an impossible toy to design. Well consider me impressed.
Yeah the sure showed all of us.
The second you showed off the ab crunch I opened eBay in another tab
Yep it can be a little lose on other peoples copies I hear, but it's dope that it has one at all. Just be prepared that you might need to tighten it.
I'm 50/50 on getting Studio Series 86 Wreck-Gar. It's not that I think he's a bad figure. But I don't really have interest in the Junkions. Sure, lack of interest is my gateway to skip on the figure. But Wreck-Gar here looks awesome. His robot and motorcycle modes is both way more accurate to his G1 movie/cartoon model, and better than his previous toy figures. If I do consider getting him, I would try to get two. Having their boxes next to the sealed Siege Springer. In a reference to their old G1 toy commercial. Where Springer lands on the planet Junkion and encounters robot Wreck-Gar riding on motorcycle Wreck-Gar. And I also agree on your whole point that he should be a weaponizer.
-I do hope that Hasbro does do at least the other nine named Junkions, listed from the TFWiki 86 movie page, for Studio Series 86. Rumor has it that another Junkion, name Junkyard, is coming to the toyline. Wonder if that will come true.
I will say that I wasn't much interested my self until I got the figure, the Junkieons have never really been my favorite.
I think Hasbro would be crazy if they don't end up retooling this figure into the other Junkieons.
I’m probably end up grabbing him eventually, now onto the fact that selects repaints are pretty much guaranteed to happen which are awesome I want toaster head (insert dare to be stupid joke here)
Yeah they would be stupid to not do the other junkieons off this mold.
I love this figure! I hope they repaint as many times as the seekers or the lambros. Chromia would be great.
Yeah, they better, It would be foolish of them not to.
After seeing how well this figure poses I am convinced 😎
You should be. If I'm trying to sell you on a figure you know it's good.
Great review man! ... BTW, now this figure is even cheaper in Amazon though
Seriously. That's insane.
i honestly think wreck gar is a mini masterpiece
I came to the same conclusion.
God this looks amazing as hell
It is amazing as hell.
got my hands on the second battle across time collection box set finally. Sideswipe's shoulder cannon was way too tight to the point where if i had shoved it in all the way, there was no way it would come out without snapping, some sand paper fixed that but i went a tad too far and it is now slightly wobbly. maximal Skywarp is still a great mould but it still frightens me to move the wings after my first Airazor just snapped off. No breakage yet though so that is a plus. This pack is only worth it for the improved sideswipe, if you like the Airazor mould thought, this will sell you on that too.
I'm sorry about your airazor, and yeah the Sideswipes accessories have been painted so they are too tight.
I still have the RtS one from 2010, but wouldn't mind getting this if I see it. I might even get one or two Junkion retools that Hasbro will probably release in the future.
A lot of people are really happy with that figure, but I think this runs circles around that.
And yeah Hasbro would be crazy to not do retools.
What would make this figure better is if hasbro repaints it in an orange and yellow variant with different heads, but I will say I think they should’ve done the thing with kup and has removable limbs so if they do repaints you could swap limbs and technically have an army
Why Kup. But yes they need to do retools of this.
