I'm gonna be the first to say it but Flame looks like he could be HotRod's deadbeat father that just went out to grab the Energon milk and never returned. Lol
Honestly, I could see it. You can probably make an interesting story where HotRod goes on a journey to escape the shadow of his Bastard Father Flame. A low life scum bag who did dealings between Autobots and Decepticons, a man who would throw a son he never wanted to the wolves just for some Energon.
even mainline stuff is getting into that lol. for example, 86 optimus prime (awesome BTW) comes with not only his axe (which doesn't appear in the movie lol) but also those blast effects for the truck mode.
That honestly is how Flame kinda feels in the comics. He's an elitist, know-it-all scientist with an army of undead monstrosities determined to prove he's correct at any cost. All the brashness and irresponsibility of Hot Rod, with all the might and status of Megatron. And despite that, he's still explicitly an Autobot, albeit disowned by the faction at large.
With the comic things they are doing, I just want some idw comic stuff. My dream is for them to take the hot rod, magnus and upcoming SS86 Meg and make them into their idw version - that’ll make me so happy
flame is a "good old fake good guy, and this mold is perfect for the overelaborated design xaaron is a surprisingly effective reuse of the deflector mold, and has a very distinctive and unique head. also, finally we can build a "variant" camera with the retail deflector and scrapface, which is a smaller pipedream of mine I may or may not ever get on
I have other ideas for other comic edition figures Deluxe class rack n ruin Leader class tesaurus ( with vos ) Voyager class helex ( with kaon ) Deluxe class fulcrum Voyager class sky bound Optimus prime ( with megatrons arm ) Deluxe class idw hotrod ( tf ongoing with matrix of leadership ) Voyager class bomber megatron Voyager class octopunch Voyager class stranglehold And other pretenders should get updates in comic edition
As someone who's been demanding Hasbro figures of the DJD for over a decade I approve of the enthusiasm. That said if we are to use the Tarn as a basis for scale Kaon & Vos should probably be Deluxe (they are about the height of standard Autobots like Trailcutter & First Aid) Helex & Teserus would also probably both need to be leaders at minimum considering how huge and bulky they are I'm thinking roughly the size of the recent Dinobots.
I've got the cockpit problem too. As soon as I try to straighten out the legs, it immediately comes untabbed. Also, Flames right hand broke out of socket within one minute of being out of the box. I can still get it to stay in place, but it falls out when I pick it up. Other than that, they're pretty awesome remolds
Seeing Flame's Hotrod-esque colors on GE Megs makes me wish we'd have gotten a Kingdom Cyclonus recolor when they were still doing Shattered Glass. Kingdom Cyclonus is an awesome figure and we got fewer SG cons than bots, so that would've been a very welcome addition. Edit for those who don't know: Shattered Glass Cyclonus is Cyclonus' G1 design in Hotrod colors. It looks sick.
The Gamers Edition Megatron, his Fusion Cannon upside down!! Just to let you know "That Toy Guy/That Toy Guru!!" Bc the larger piece pointed down is supposed to be pointing up and the long barrel of the arm Fusion Cannon should be facing the ground!! Like it's G1 Counterpart!! But still I see why Hasbro did that!! Again you can easily rotate his arm gun around to make it look more classic style!! Bc that's what I did with mine, and my figure of Megatron actually smiled at me bc I did that little adjustment!! So yes TOYS like Transformers, G.I Joe, Marval Comics Figures/DC Action Figures all have their own special living sparks in them!!
I love that Xaaron is legit so close to my name it's funny to hear it throughout the review so hey thanks for the shout out haha loved the review and will deffo get this
Ngl, when I learned about Emirate Xaaron (or Emir Xaaron to be accurate), I imagined him sounding like Councilor Udina for some reason. Like, his character description sounded like a stern yet good and honest politician (oxymoronic, I know), and yet I can't imagine him speaking as anyone but that slimeball. "If the Council possesses any mettle or wherewithal, we shall choose Orion Pax to replace that disgrace of a leader, Sentinel, as Cybertron's Prime."
I've read up on flame and he surprisingly is one of the occurrences of an autobot having its sadistic side. Like shock wave. HardCore comic fans help me out here.
With Xaaron, I have every use of this mold, and on every copy the windscreen fights to install properly. I also desperately wish I could get a hold of the Refraktor parts that got discarded; it’s frustrating to have 5/3 of both the camera lens and the tripod, first world problems.
Well I'm an adult, and literally have no idea who these two are. Conceptually very cool retools. Shame about the tabs having to be clipped on an exclusive release, something that should've been improved from the original. Never would have guessed Xaaron was the Reflector mold as I never owned it. I for a while was thinking Impactor would have been a good choice until it was explained why the extra bits had to be removable for comics accuracy . The diorama art on the sides of the box looks epic. If I were to get one it would be Straxus no contest.
The only thing really holding these characters back for me is that I never heard of them prior to these toys. They definitely look cool, but I have over a thousand Transformers in my collection now, and I need to prioritize for space at this point. I have no idea where to put Haslab Omega Prime when he eventually arrives as it is.
oh my god, i am so happy to know someone else has that leg peg in problem with xaaron. if you see this Toy Guy or if anyone else who has this issue sees please let me know how to fix it. im not sure if its a peg issue and if so which.
my xaaron's cockpit chest thing also just refuses to peg in, he also has mold flash on the right arm that causes it to twist itself off, those issues and the head crest getting stuck really take away any fun of the alt mode and his awkward arms kinda ruin robot posing too, pretty bummed about him once you clip off the knee struts Flame is tons of fun, def my favourite of the set and he looks so cool, though mine also had super stiff legs lol
also I hope for any future releases they drop the comic ink dot effect, i really like the stripes but the dots are barely noticeable and i would much rather have had that paint budget go toward more stripes, both figures especially have really naked arms that would have popped a lot better with a clean black stripe effect
When I first saw the announcement of these two I was like "who the heck are these guys?", and then I saw the comic book cover on the packaging and the penny dropped. "Action Force? Oh, these dudes are from the UK comics that I never got a chance to read back in the day over here in the 'States." As such, I don't really know them despite growing up with the G1 era in its original release, but they're good designs nonetheless.
I was so mad when I had to cancel the preorder for these guys, but you know, budget. At least I could still get 86 OP - waiting to be opened right now, in fact :)
I've always wanted an emirate Xaaron Since I can remember, He's the leader of the autobots on cybertron, That implies he's on the same level as Like Elita-1 and shockwave for the cons and he's higher than magnus In the OG comics, He seems Super important And I really want a figure of him EDIT: I'm not old I read His comic in the early 2010s as a kid
I bet they’re gonna do an Optimus one off the 86 mould. I would buy it so fast because then he’d have dem yellow eyes and I love me some yellow eyes on Optimus!
I wouldn't mind getting Flame for this mould, because I already have the original WfC Megatron (who has a mould that's a _ton_ better, in my opinion, but I really hate all the new 'gamer edition' moulds anyway, they look too wonky). So to me it's easier, since I can just imagine that this is just how Flame looks, without comparing him to any other mould (like I'd definitely do with Megatron).
do I know these characters? nope. Just decided to order them because I think they look cool lol. also I skipped gamer edition megatron and got the bumblebee concept art figure, so flame is gonna be my introduction to that wfc game mold.
hi first time watcher here... I got to ask.. are you part bigfoot or something cause dude your arms are freaking harry lol that aside a little info on who these two are at the start would have been nice but you jumped right into talk about the ascetics and articulation witch kind of lost some of my attention and drew it to how harry you are hehe.
In the Marvel comics he was a politician in Iacon who lead the autobots before making Optimus Prime leader. After the Ark crashes on Earth he leads the Autobot resistance against the Deceptions on Cybertron.
So there's nobody else's teased on the side of this box meaning they can just end this line right now although I really really hope not. I love the previous 3 and can't wait untill this one starts shipping in the uk
I'm gonna be the first to say it but Flame looks like he could be HotRod's deadbeat father that just went out to grab the Energon milk and never returned. Lol
TBH I thought it was hotrod but a drunk uncle
Man you're definitely not the first to say it 😭
It is his father right ? Or brother clan idk they related
Honestly, I could see it. You can probably make an interesting story where HotRod goes on a journey to escape the shadow of his Bastard Father Flame. A low life scum bag who did dealings between Autobots and Decepticons, a man who would throw a son he never wanted to the wolves just for some Energon.
I guess there's a reason why Hot Rod's life isn't very good
Honestly, the fact Hasbro teamed up with Sixo to reveal these makes them feel really special
xaaron and flame: those two guys who did that one thing way back when
The one thing from that one time, you know the one
I think Flame was in just one story, but Xaaron showed up a fair bit in the Marvel UK comics and later even appeared in the US ones.
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down
@@Stringer7390that's the joke
Yeah, of course, the thing at the place with the people.
Remember when a MP figure comes with an accessory from that one scene. This is the figure version of that.
even mainline stuff is getting into that lol. for example, 86 optimus prime (awesome BTW) comes with not only his axe (which doesn't appear in the movie lol) but also those blast effects for the truck mode.
Flame just looks like Megatron cosplaying as Rodimus Prime to me
Shattered Glass Megatron or Galvatron haha
That honestly is how Flame kinda feels in the comics.
He's an elitist, know-it-all scientist with an army of undead monstrosities determined to prove he's correct at any cost.
All the brashness and irresponsibility of Hot Rod, with all the might and status of Megatron.
And despite that, he's still explicitly an Autobot, albeit disowned by the faction at large.
all i see is boulder from rescue bots and a weird hot rod with the body of megatron
Same bro
I agree
Boulder? U mean the big green dude with treads on his ARMS? He does not look like Boulder at all not even the protoform version
The fact they did all that remolding and didn’t fix the knees is embarrassing.
And those knee tabs were a factory change btw.
seems kinda pointless since apparently it does nothing but hinder the range of motion in the knees.
This video is for adult collectors because DEAR GOD FLAME IS A WARCRIMINAL
Is resurrection of the dead a mindless zombies a war crime?
@@101Mant On nature
If it ever happened it would become one of the
Fun fact Xaaron couldn't transformer in the Marvel comics because he suffered from GPS😂
With the comic things they are doing, I just want some idw comic stuff. My dream is for them to take the hot rod, magnus and upcoming SS86 Meg and make them into their idw version - that’ll make me so happy
Me to I want the entire lost light crew and djd and getaway so I can torture him
A comic accurate Lost Light Megatron would be god-tier
IDW Rodimus is getting a figure from Takara.
@@jameszetterman4487 yeah but that’s not chug size. That’s MP size. Plus is a super expensive collecting thing
yesss please, i've especially been desperately waiting for an idw remold of the cyclonus figure
can you imagine if it turned out the tabs are for a futer gimmick that people are clipping off
I’m sure it’s for stability, but that would be hysterical
I feel like hasbro would've told us about that
@@chriscarpenter3370 I’ll be real, I don’t.
Imma be honest, i straight up thought sixo's oc got a toy at first.
I wish Xaaron would be made in GPS so he would actually crumble if he tried to transform like in the comics
flame is a "good old fake good guy, and this mold is perfect for the overelaborated design
xaaron is a surprisingly effective reuse of the deflector mold, and has a very distinctive and unique head. also, finally we can build a "variant" camera with the retail deflector and scrapface, which is a smaller pipedream of mine I may or may not ever get on
hot rod: dad is that you????
Ah yes hot rod's lost brother and gold brick xaron my fav autobots who appeared in the comics
I have other ideas for other comic edition figures
Deluxe class rack n ruin
Leader class tesaurus ( with vos )
Voyager class helex ( with kaon )
Deluxe class fulcrum
Voyager class sky bound Optimus prime ( with megatrons arm )
Deluxe class idw hotrod ( tf ongoing with matrix of leadership )
Voyager class bomber megatron
Voyager class octopunch
Voyager class stranglehold

Other than that, they're pretty awesome remolds
The autobot shockwave (Flame) and Impactors cranky ex (Xaroon)
The way that the Reflektor mould turns into a cube, i cannot tell you how badly i want to see them use it as a head for a HasLab giant titanmaster
Seeing Flame's Hotrod-esque colors on GE Megs makes me wish we'd have gotten a Kingdom Cyclonus recolor when they were still doing Shattered Glass. Kingdom Cyclonus is an awesome figure and we got fewer SG cons than bots, so that would've been a very welcome addition.

3:23 That EUGH! made me giggle
Oh, my Xaaron has the same issue with the cockpit piece thing not wanting to stay pegged in properly all the time, so it's not just yours.
I just want Xaaron.
I also got the same problem with xaaron the cockpit won't stay on
Same
My Xaarons cockpit also refuses to stay plugged in as well so your not alone.
For a while I thought Flame was just Hotrod.. 😆
I've been waiting for Xaaron for 20 years now. He's amazing.

Bro, try a hair dryer instead of sanding. Also how long you going to string us along on tab-gate?
As a transformers marvel comic fan. I already bought them and they are in mine display. Great video man
Well I'm an adult, and literally have no idea who these two are. Conceptually very cool retools. Shame about the tabs having to be clipped on an exclusive release, something that should've been improved from the original. Never would have guessed Xaaron was the Reflector mold as I never owned it.

Been begging to the gods for years for xaron and Flame. Loved this whole story in UK Marvel.
oh my god, i am so happy to know someone else has that leg peg in problem with xaaron. if you see this Toy Guy or if anyone else who has this issue sees please let me know how to fix it. im not sure if its a peg issue and if so which.
Happy Thanksgiving That Toy Guy, I'm grateful for your channel, really helps alleviate rough days Thanks for the sick vids!
my xaaron's cockpit chest thing also just refuses to peg in, he also has mold flash on the right arm that causes it to twist itself off, those issues and the head crest getting stuck really take away any fun of the alt mode and his awkward arms kinda ruin robot posing too, pretty bummed about him

Flame looks like he took Magneto's helmet!!😅

I do like Flame, he is like one of Rodimus Prime's sons, like Excellion too.
Xaaron is gonna be great to round off the Marvel comic Wreckers. Can't wait to put him with Impactor and the others
Was scrolling through insta and dropped everything to pull up
This story was some of the very first comics I ever owned!
I like to call Flame “Hot Cheeto Megatron”
Question I don’t have either reflector or this pack but can xaarons pieces attach to normal reflector
I was so mad when I had to cancel the preorder for these guys, but you know, budget. At least I could still get 86 OP - waiting to be opened right now, in fact :)

My Xaaron also has problem with tabbing in.
I definitely agree that Xaaron's shoulders are weird.
Ah yes, Flame and Sixo.
For a bit I thought it was hot rod
I know both of them because readed the comics that flame guy is a psychopat rodimus
Waiting impatiently on Hasbro Pulse in UK Sending mine out, supposedly ready for dispatch on 31 October.
I wouldn't mind getting Flame for this mould, because I already have the original WfC Megatron (who has a mould that's a _ton_ better, in my opinion, but I really hate all the new 'gamer edition' moulds anyway, they look too wonky).

hey xaaron
he was on the lost light that one time
and flame was
somewhere in MTMTE i swear
I have just got these. At least i have too great characters from my childhood.
I remember Xaaron but not Flame. My library has an abundance of Transformers graphic novels
He looks like hot rod’s twin brother
I want flame, he is cool and I know a bit about him
From the knee things of megatron i read that the spike got molded by accident so yeah you can take it off
I can't wait to get mine.
I will always know the golden one as Sixo pfp
I thought Flame's eyes were just really baggy eyelids from far away. I don't know if it makes him look better or not.
Xaaron: Weird face useless frick and Flame: Pyromaniac nutjob scientist
And yet, STILL no G1 Windcharger.😭
Flame reminds me of IDW hot rod
Mine does the pop out thing too
I’m 16 and I know flame, xaaron, and the marvel comics very well so hah got you toy guy
do I know these characters? nope. Just decided to order them because I think they look cool lol. also I skipped gamer edition megatron and got the bumblebee concept art figure, so flame is gonna be my introduction to that wfc game mold.
"Literally any minute". Meaning literally the opposite of literally.
Say what you want about hasbro, but they know how to change some paint, replace a couple of parts and create a whole new dynamic

Can you please make a video on reviewing all three of the scorponok sandstorm scorpion transformers
I don't know them but they look really cool
Btw I didn't know where to say this, but the discord link in the yt bio doesn't work.
Let's agree, if anyone knows these characters, it's because they saw the series The Basics
Flame looks like hot rod
Please ask Sam about the stupid knee rear tabs.
bro really got greenscreen and effects for these two randoms
Does anyone have the Reflector? Maybe try to do an alt alt mode of a tank?
Ngl I will need to get these fr
I dont know who these guys are.
but they look cool so I got them
flame is a crazy scientist disowned by the autobots since he didn't care who died or got hurt, if it was to advance his plans he would do it
Sixo... but more on that later
What in the great green phuk!?!?
Its Sixo!!!!
Who is Emirate Xaaron, that’s Sixo if I’ve ever seen him
In the Marvel comics he was a politician in Iacon who lead the autobots before making Optimus Prime leader.
After the Ark crashes on Earth he leads the Autobot resistance against the Deceptions on Cybertron.
@@101Mant I know, I was just making a joke about Sixo being more known than Xaaron
So there's nobody else's teased on the side of this box meaning they can just end this line right now although I really really hope not. I love the previous 3 and can't wait untill this one starts shipping in the uk
Im completing the lost light crew soooooo i needed xaaron
Im getting them coz they look nice (damn has ro for funding a way to get gamer megatron into my collection) and also to finsh the set
Still waiting for tiran class scrounge
Xaaron's name isn't pronounced Zauron but as Zion.
MY BABIESSSSSSSSS
Wait is Xaaron technically a quad changer
Meh imma use Flame as like the Nemesis Prime to Megatron (Anti-tron)
Another Day (day 4) of asking ttg to make a review on legacy prowl mold
